(iii)                                  The Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Secured Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Secured Note being redeemed in part.

(iv)                                 All Global Secured Notes and Definitive Secured Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Secured Notes or Definitive Secured Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits of this Secured Indenture, as the Global Secured Notes or Definitive Secured Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(v)                                    The Company shall not be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Secured Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business on a Business Day 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Secured Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 of this Secured Indenture and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing or (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Secured Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Secured Note being redeemed in part.

Every replacement Secured Note is an obligation of the Company.

SECTION 2.08                                  Outstanding Secured Notes .

The Secured Notes outstanding at any time are all the Secured Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.

If a Secured Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 of this Secured Indenture, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Secured Note is held by a protected purchaser.

If the principal amount of any Secured Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 of this Secured Indenture, it shall cease to be outstanding and interest on it shall cease to accrue.

Subject to Section 2.09 of this Secured Indenture, a Secured Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Secured Note.

SECTION 2.09                                  Treasury Secured Notes .

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Secured Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Secured Notes owned by the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or any

31

Affiliate of the Company shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in conclusively relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Secured Notes which a Responsible Officer knows to be so owned shall be so considered.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Notes that are to be acquired by the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company pursuant to an exchange offer, tender offer or other agreement shall not be deemed to be owned by the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company until legal title to such Secured Notes passes to the Company, such Subsidiary or such Affiliate, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.10                                  Temporary Secured Notes .

Until definitive Secured Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Secured Notes.  Temporary Secured Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Secured Notes but may have variations that the Company and the Trustee consider appropriate for temporary Secured Notes.  Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of the written order of the Company signed by two Officers of the Company, shall authenticate definitive Secured Notes in exchange for temporary Secured Notes.  Until such exchange, temporary Secured Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as definitive Secured Notes.

SECTION 2.11                                  Cancellation .

The Company at any time may deliver Secured Notes to the Trustee for cancellation.  The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Secured Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.  The Trustee shall cancel all Secured Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of canceled Secured Notes in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act), unless the Company directs in writing canceled Secured Notes to be returned to it.  The Company may not issue new Secured Notes to replace Secured Notes that it has redeemed or paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.  All canceled Secured Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of and certification of their disposition delivered to the Company, unless by a written order, signed by two Officers of the Company, the Company shall direct that canceled Secured Notes be returned to it.

SECTION 2.12                                  Defaulted Interest .

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Secured Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders of the Secured Notes on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be at the earliest practicable date but in all events at least five Business Days prior to the payment date, in each case at the rate provided in the Secured Notes.  The Company shall, with the consent of the Trustee, fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date.  At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company) shall mail to Holders of the Secured Notes a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

SECTION 2.13                                  Record Date .

The record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders of the Secured Notes entitled to vote or consent to any action by vote or consent authorized or permitted under this Secured Indenture shall be determined as provided for in TIA Section 316(c).

SECTION 2.14                                  CUSIP Number .

The Company in issuing the Secured Notes may use one or more “CUSIP” numbers and, if it does so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP number(s) in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number(s) printed in the notice or on the Secured Notes and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification

32

numbers printed on the Secured Notes.  The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP number(s).

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION

SECTION 3.01                                  Notices to Trustee .

If the Company elects to redeem Secured Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 of this Secured Indenture, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 30 days (unless a shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee) but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (i) the redemption date, (ii) the principal amount of Secured Notes to be redeemed and (iii) the redemption price.  If the Company is required to make the redemption pursuant to Section 3.08 of this Secured Indenture, it shall furnish the Trustee, at least one but not more than 10 Business Days before a redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (i) the redemption date and (ii) the redemption price.

SECTION 3.02                                  Selection of Secured Notes to Be Redeemed .

If less than all of the Secured Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the selection of Secured Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Secured Notes are listed, or, if the Secured Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or in accordance with any other method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate in accordance with DTC procedures; provided that no Secured Notes with a principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part.  In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Secured Notes 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 Secured Notes not previously called for redemption.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Secured Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Secured Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.  Secured Notes and portions of them selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Secured Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Secured Notes held by such Holder, even if not equal to $2,000 or a multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be redeemed.  Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Secured Indenture that apply to Secured Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Secured Notes called for redemption.

SECTION 3.03                                  Notice of Redemption .

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.08 and Section 3.09 of this Secured Indenture, 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 Secured Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address.

The notice shall identify the Secured Notes to be redeemed (including CUSIP numbers) and shall state:

(i)                   the redemption date;

(ii)                the redemption price;

(iii)             if any Secured Note is being redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of such Secured Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Secured Note, a new Secured Note or Secured Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Secured Note;

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

33

(v)               that Secured Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

(vi)            that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Secured Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

(vii)         the paragraph of the Secured Notes and/or Section of this Secured Indenture pursuant to which the Secured Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and

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

At the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 35 days (unless a shorter period is acceptable to the Trustee) 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.

SECTION 3.04                                  Effect of Notice of Redemption .

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 of this Secured Indenture, Secured Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price.

SECTION 3.05                                  Deposit of Redemption Price .

On or prior to any redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Secured Notes to be redeemed on that date.  The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Secured Notes to be redeemed.

On and after the redemption date, if the Company does not default in the payment of the redemption price, interest shall cease to accrue on the Secured Notes or the portions of Secured Notes called for redemption.  If a Secured Note is redeemed on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Secured Note was registered at the close of business on such record date.  If any Secured Note 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 Secured Notes.

SECTION 3.06                                  Secured Notes Redeemed in Part .

Upon surrender and cancellation of a Secured Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder of the Secured Notes at the expense of the Company a new Secured Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Secured Note surrendered.

SECTION 3.07                                  Optional Redemption .

Except as provided below, the Secured Notes are not redeemable at the option of the Company prior to August 1, 2026.

The Secured Notes will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company, at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Secured Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but excluding) the applicable redemption date plus the “Make-Whole Premium.”  The “ Make-Whole Premium ,” with respect to any Secured Note or any portion of any Secured Note to be redeemed shall be equal to the greater of:

34

(a)                                  1.00% of the principal amount of such Secured Note or such portion of a Secured Note being redeemed and

(b)                                  the excess, if any, of

(i)                                 the sum of the present values, calculated as of the redemption date, of:

(A)                                each interest payment that, but for the redemption, would have been payable on the Secured Note, or portion of a Secured Note, being redeemed on each interest payment date occurring after the redemption date, excluding any accrued interest for the period prior to the redemption date, plus

(B)                                the principal amount that, but for the redemption, would have been payable on the maturity date of the Secured Note, or portion of a Secured Note, being redeemed; over

(ii)                                 the principal amount of the Secured Note, or portion of a Secured Note, being redeemed.

The present values of interest and principal payments referred to in clause (b)(i) above will be determined in accordance with generally accepted principles of financial analysis.  The present values will be calculated by discounting the amount of each payment of interest or principal from the date that each such payment would have been payable, but for the redemption, to the redemption date at a discount rate equal to the Treasury Yield, as defined below, plus 50 basis points.

The Company shall appoint an independent investment banking institution of national standing to calculate the Make-Whole Premium; provided that if the Company fails to appoint such an institution at least 45 days prior to the date set for redemption or if the institution that the Company appoints is unwilling or unable to make such calculation, such calculation shall be made by Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. or, if such firm fails to make such calculation, by an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Trustee (it being understood that the Trustee’s agreement to appoint such an institution is a matter of courtesy and accommodation only and the Trustee shall not be liable to any person as a result).

For purposes of determining the Make-Whole Premium, “ Treasury Yield ” shall refer to an annual rate of interest equal to the weekly average yield to maturity of United States Treasury Notes that have a constant maturity that corresponds to the remaining term to maturity of the Secured Notes being redeemed, calculated to the nearest 1/12th of a year (the “ Remaining Term ”).  The Treasury Yield shall be determined as of the third Business Day immediately preceding the applicable redemption date.

The weekly average yields of United States Treasury Notes shall be determined by reference to the most recent statistical release published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and designated “H.15(519) Selected Interest Rates” or any successor release (the “ H.15 Statistical Release ”).  If the H.15 Statistical Release sets forth a weekly average yield for United States Treasury Notes having a constant maturity that is the same as the Remaining Term, then the Treasury Yield shall be equal to such weekly average yield.  In all other cases, the Treasury Yield shall be calculated by interpolation, on a straight-line basis, between the weekly average yields on the United States Treasury Notes that have a constant maturity closest to and greater than the Remaining Term and the United States Treasury Notes that have a constant maturity closest to and less than the Remaining Term, in each case as set forth in the H.15 Statistical Release.  Any weekly average yields as calculated by interpolation shall be rounded to the nearest 0.01%, with any figure of 0.005% or more being rounded upward.  If weekly average yields for United States Treasury Notes are not available in the H.15 Statistical Release or otherwise, then the Treasury Yield shall be calculated by interpolation of comparable rates selected by the independent investment banking institution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Holders of record on the relevant record date shall have the right to receive interest due on any interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date and (ii) the redemption

35

price shall never be less than 100% of the principal amount of the Secured Notes being redeemed plus accrued interest to the redemption date.

In addition, prior to August 1, 2020, the Company may redeem up to 10% of the outstanding Secured Notes per year (including any Additional Secured Notes) upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each holder’s registered address, at a redemption price equal to 103.000% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to August 1, 2019, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes outstanding at a redemption price equal to 105.250% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest to (but excluding) such redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of any capital contributions or one or more public or private sales (including sales to Parent, regardless of whether Parent obtained such funds from an offering of Equity Interests or Indebtedness of Parent or otherwise and provided that such funds are contributed by us) of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company (other than proceeds from a sale to any Subsidiary of the Company or any employee benefit plan in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries participates); provided that:  (a) at least 65% in aggregate of the originally issued principal amount of the Secured Notes remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and (b) the sale of such Equity Interests is made in compliance with the terms of this Secured Indenture.

SECTION 3.08                                  Asset Sale Offers to Purchase .

(a)                                  In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Company shall be required to commence an Asset Sale Offer, it shall follow the procedures specified below.

(b)                                  An Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement and no longer, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “ Offer Period ”).  No later than five (5) Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “ Purchase Date ”), the Company shall apply all Excess Proceeds, as the case may be (the “ Offer Amount ”), to the purchase of Secured Notes and, at the Company’s option, the 2011 Secured Notes and any Additional Secured Obligations (on a pro rata basis or in accordance with applicable DTC procedures based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Secured Notes, the 2011 Secured Notes or any such Additional Secured Obligations tendered), or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Secured Notes, 2011 Secured Notes and Additional Secured Obligations, as the case may be, tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer.  Payment for any Secured Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

(c)                                   If the Purchase Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest, up to but excluding the Purchase Date, shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Secured Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Secured Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.

(d)                                  Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company shall send, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, a notice to each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee.  The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Secured Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.  The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders and, at the Company’s option, to the holders of the 2011 Secured Notes and any Additional Secured Obligations.  The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall state:

(i)                   that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.08 and Section 4.10 hereof and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer shall remain open;

(ii)                the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;

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

36

(iv)            that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Secured Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall cease to accrue interest on and after the Purchase Date;

(v)               that any Holder electing to have less than all of the aggregate principal amount of its Secured Notes purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may elect to have Secured Notes purchased in denominations of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof;

(3)                                  to the extent that any consideration received by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale constitutes securities or other assets that are of a type or class that constitute Collateral, such securities or other assets, including the assets of any Person that becomes a Guarantor as a result of such transaction, are concurrently with their acquisition added to the Collateral securing the Secured Notes in the manner and to the extent required in this Secured Indenture or any of the Security Documents; and

(4)                                  the Net Proceeds from any such Asset Sale of Collateral are paid directly by the purchaser thereof to the Collateral Agent to be held in trust in an Asset Sale Proceeds Account for application in accordance with this covenant.

Section 4.10(a)(2) shall not apply to any Asset Sale:

(x)                                  where assets not essential to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ business are contributed to a joint venture between the Company or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries and a third party that is not an Affiliate of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, provided that following the sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the Company or one of its Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries owns 50% or more of the voting and equity interest in such joint venture or has the right to appoint 50% or more of the board of directors or governing body of such joint venture; or

(y)                                  to the extent the consideration therefor received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries would constitute Indebtedness or Equity Interests of a Person that is not an Affiliate of Parent, the Company or one of their respective Subsidiaries, provided that the acquisition of such Indebtedness or Equity Interests is permitted under Section 4.07 of this Secured Indenture.

(b)                                  Within 365 days after the Company’s or a Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt of the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale covered by this clause (a), the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale:

(1)                                  to make one or more offers to the holders of the Secured Notes (and, at the option of the Company, the holders of 2011 Secured Notes and Additional Secured Obligations) to purchase Secured Notes (and such 2011 Secured Notes and Additional Secured Obligations) pursuant to and subject to the conditions in this Secured Indenture (each, an “ Asset Sale Offer ”); provided , however , that if the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall so reduce any 2011 Secured Notes or Additional Secured Obligations, the Company will make an offer to all holders of Secured Notes to purchase at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, the pro rata principal amount of the Secured Notes, such offer to be conducted in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer but without any further limitation in amount; provided further that that any such Net Proceeds shall be applied in accordance with the Security Agreement;

(2)                                  to an investment in (a) any one or more businesses; provided that such investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (b) capital expenditures or (c) acquisitions of other assets, in each of (a), (b) and (c), used or useful in a Permitted Business;

(3)                                  to an investment in (a) any one or more businesses; provided that such investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (b) properties or (c) other assets that, in each of (a), (b) and (c), replace the businesses, properties and assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale; or

48

(4)                                  to the extent such Net Proceeds are not from Asset Sales of Collateral, to permanently reduce Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, other than Indebtedness owed to the Company, a Guarantor or another Restricted Subsidiary.

(c)                                   Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales in accordance with clauses (b)(1) through (b)(4) above that are not required to be held in an Asset Sale Proceeds Account, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Indebtedness or otherwise apply such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Secured Indenture.  Any binding commitment to apply Net Proceeds to invest in accordance with clauses (b)(2) or (b)(3) above shall be treated as a permitted application of Net Proceeds so long as the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 365 days of such commitment; provided that if such commitment is later canceled or terminated for any reason such Net Proceeds shall constitute “Excess Proceeds” (as defined below).  Any Net Proceeds from the Asset Sales covered by this clause (c) that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in the first sentence of the immediately preceding clause (b) will be deemed to constitute “ Excess Proceeds .”  When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million, the Company shall make an Asset Sale Offer to all holders of the Secured Notes, and, at the Company’s option, to the holders of the 2011 Secured Notes and any Additional Secured Obligations, to purchase the maximum principal amount of Secured Notes, 2011 Secured Notes and such Additional Secured Obligations, that are $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.08 of this Secured Indenture.  The Company will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten business days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million by mailing the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Secured Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee.  To the extent that the aggregate amount of Secured Notes, 2011 Secured Notes and such Additional Secured Obligations (and any other Indebtedness) tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds (“ Unutilized Excess Proceeds ”) for any purpose not prohibited by the terms of this Secured Indenture.  If the aggregate principal amount of Secured Notes, 2011 Secured Notes or the Additional Secured Obligations surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Secured Notes and the applicable agent or the Company shall select such 2011 Secured Notes or such Additional Secured Obligations to be purchased on a pro rata basis or in accordance with the applicable DTC procedures based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Secured Notes or such 2011 Secured Notes or Additional Secured Obligations tendered.  Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.  After the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary has applied the Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale of any Collateral as provided in, and within the time periods required by, this paragraph (c), any Unutilized Excess Proceeds shall be released by the Collateral Agent to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary for use by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary for any purpose not prohibited by the terms of this Secured Indenture.

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder of a Secured Note for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Secured Indenture or the Secured Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid or agreed to be paid to all holders of the Secured Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

SECTION 4.21                                  Suspension of Certain Covenants Under Certain Conditions .

(a)                                  If, on any date following the Issue Date, (i) the Secured Notes receive an Investment Grade rating from both Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (a “ Suspension

55

Event ”) then, beginning on that date, the provisions of this Secured Indenture contained in Sections 3.08, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.16, 4.17 and 4.18 and clause (d) under Section 5.01 of this Secured Indenture (collectively, the “ Suspension Covenants ”) will not be applicable to the Secured Notes.

(b)                                  During any Suspension Period, the Company may not designate any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the first sentence of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.”

(c)                                   In the event that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspension Covenants for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “ Reversion Date ”) the condition set forth in clause (i) of this Section 4.21 is no longer satisfied, then the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspension Covenants with respect to future events.  The period of time between the date of the Suspension Event and the Reversion Date is referred to in this description as the “ Suspension Period. ”

(d)                                  On each Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred during the Suspension Period prior to such Reversion Date will be deemed to be Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 4.09(b)(6).  For purposes of calculating the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under clause (iii) of the first paragraph of Section 4.07, calculations under such covenant shall be made as though such covenant had been in effect during the entire period of time after the Issue Date (including the Suspension Period).  Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period not otherwise permitted pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 4.07 will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under clause (iii) of the first paragraph of Section 4.07.

Upon a Suspension Event, the amount of Excess Proceeds for purposes of Section 4.10 shall be set at zero.

SECTION 4.22                                  [ Reserved ].

Subject to the rights of the holders of Permitted Liens that are existing on the Issue Date or incurred after the Issue Date, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, take or knowingly or negligently omit to take, any action which action or omission could reasonably be expected to have the result of materially impairing the Lien with respect to the Collateral, other than the Foreign Collateral in favor of the holders of Obligations; provided that this Section 4.23 shall not prohibit the release of Guarantors pursuant to Section 11.05 hereof or the release of Collateral pursuant to Section 4.10, Section 4.17 or Article 10 hereof.

(a)                                  Subject to certain limitations and exceptions as set forth in the Security Agreement (including any exclusion relating to any securities or other equity interests of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries), if the Company or any Guarantor creates any additional security interest upon any property or asset, other than the Foreign Collateral, to secure any Additional Secured Obligations, it must concurrently grant a first-priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) upon such property as security for the Indebtedness and Obligations under the Secured Notes.  In addition, if granting a security interest in such property requires the consent of a third party, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent with respect to the first-priority security interest for the benefit of the Collateral Agent.  If such third party does not consent to the granting of the first-priority security interest after the use of such commercially reasonable efforts, the applicable entity will not be required to provide such security interest.  The Company will not be required to pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any third party for or as an inducement to obtain the consent of the third party.

(b)                                  The Company and the Guarantors shall execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all further action that may be required under applicable law, and that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the security interests and Liens created or intended to be created by the Security Documents in the Collateral, other than the Foreign Collateral.  In addition, from time to time, the Company will reasonably promptly secure the obligations under this Secured Indenture and the Security Documents by pledging or creating, or causing to be

56

pledged or created, perfected security interests and Liens with respect to the Collateral, other than the Foreign Collateral.  Such security interests and Liens will be created under the Security Documents and other security agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust and other instruments and documents as may be reasonably required.

SECTION 4.25                                  Information Regarding Collateral .

(a)                                  The Company will furnish to the Collateral Agent, with respect to the Company or any Guarantor, prompt written notice of any change in such Person’s (i) legal name, (ii) jurisdiction of organization or formation, (iii) identity or corporate structure or (iv) Organizational Identification Number.  The Company and the Guarantors will agree not to effect or permit any change referred to in the preceding sentence unless all filings have been made under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise that are required in order for the Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected security interest in the Collateral, other than the Foreign Collateral.

(b)                                  Each year, at the time of delivery of the annual financial statements with respect to the preceding fiscal year pursuant to Section 4.03 hereof, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate of a financial officer of the Company setting forth the information required pursuant to the schedules required by the Security Documents or confirming that there has been no change in such information since the date of the prior annual financial statements.

SECTION 6.02                                  Acceleration .

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (j) of Section 6.01 of this Secured Indenture with respect to the Company or any Guarantor) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Secured Notes by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare all the Secured Notes to be due and payable immediately. 

59

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (j) of Section 6.01 of this Secured Indenture with respect to the Company or any Guarantor, all outstanding Secured Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable without further action or notice.  Holders of the Secured Notes may not enforce this Secured Indenture or the Secured Notes except as provided in this Secured Indenture.  The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Secured Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in such Holders’ interest.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Secured Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.

In the case of any Event of Default occurring by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiaries with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would have had to pay if the Company then had elected to redeem the Secured Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 of this Secured Indenture, an equivalent premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law.

All powers of the Trustee under this Secured Indenture will be subject to applicable provisions of the Communications Act, including without limitation, the requirements of prior approval for de facto or de jure transfer of control or assignment of Title III licenses.

SECTION 6.03                                  Other Remedies .

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

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Secured Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.  A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Secured Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default.  All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

SECTION 6.04                                  Waiver of Past Defaults .

Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of Secured Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Trustee, may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Secured Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Secured Indenture, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium on, or principal of, the Secured Notes.  Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Secured Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 6.05                                  Control by Majority .

Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Secured Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it.  However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with the law or this Secured Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Secured Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.

60

SECTION 6.06                                  Limitation on Suits .

A Holder of a Secured Note may pursue a remedy with respect to this Secured Indenture or the Secured Notes only if:

(a)                                  the Holder of a Secured Note gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(b)                                  the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Secured Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(c)                                   such Holder of a Secured Note or Holders of Secured Notes offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(d)                                  the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and

(e)                                   during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Secured Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

A Holder of a Secured Note may not use this Secured Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Secured Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Secured Note (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 6.07                                  Rights of Holders of Secured Notes to Receive Payment .

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Secured Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Secured Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Secured Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Secured Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder of the Secured Note.

SECTION 6.08                                  Collection Suit by Trustee .

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Secured Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Secured Notes), the Company’s creditors or the Company’s property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of a Secured Note 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 of the Secured Notes, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 of this Secured Indenture.  To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 of this Secured Indenture out

61

of the estate in any such proceeding shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties which the Holders of the Secured Notes may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.  Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Secured Note any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Secured Notes or the rights of any Holder of a Secured Note thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Secured Note in any such proceeding.

Third :  to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Secured Notes.

SECTION 6.11                                  Undertaking for Costs .

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Secured Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee or against the Collateral Agent for any action taken or omitted by it as a Collateral Agent, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant.  This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Secured Note pursuant to Section 6.07 of this Secured Indenture, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Secured Notes.

(j)                                     The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder.

SECTION 7.03                                  Individual Rights of Trustee .

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Secured Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.  However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as Trustee (if any of the Secured Notes are registered pursuant to the Securities Act), or resign.  Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties.  The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 of this Secured Indenture.

SECTION 7.04                                  Trustee’s Disclaimer .

The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Secured Indenture or the Secured Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Secured Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Secured Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Secured Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Secured Notes or pursuant to this Secured Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.

SECTION 7.05                                  Notice of Defaults .

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Secured Notes a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs.  Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Secured Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Secured Notes.

SECTION 7.06                                  Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Secured Notes .

Within 60 days after each May 15th beginning with the May 15th following the date of this Secured Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Secured Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA Section 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA Section 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted).  The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b).  The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA Section 313(c).

64

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Secured Notes shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which any Secured Notes are listed.  The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing when any Secured Notes are listed on any stock exchange or of any delisting thereof.

SECTION 7.07                                  Compensation and Indemnity .

The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as agreed in writing for its acceptance of this Secured Indenture and services hereunder.  The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.  The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services.  Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

The Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Secured Indenture, except any such loss, liability or expense as may be attributable to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Trustee.  The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim (whether asserted by the Company, a Holder, or any other Person) for which it may seek indemnity.  Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder, except only to the extent the Company is prejudiced thereby.  The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense.  The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.  The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Secured Indenture.

To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Secured Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Secured Notes.  Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Secured Indenture.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(i) or (j) of this Secured Indenture occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 7.08                                  Replacement of Trustee .

A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company and obtaining the prior written approval of the FCC, if so required by the Communications Act, including Section 310(d) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  The Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Secured Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing.  The Company may remove the Trustee (subject to the prior written approval of the FCC, if required by the Communications Act, including Section 310(d), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) if:

(a)                                  the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 of this Secured Indenture;

(b)                                  the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

(d)                                  a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(e)                                   the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.  Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Secured Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

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

If the Trustee after written request by any Holder of a Secured Note who has been a Holder of a Secured Note for at least six months fails to comply with Section 7.10 of this Secured Indenture, such Holder of a Secured Note may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company.  Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Secured Indenture.  The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders of the Secured Notes.  The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 of this Secured Indenture.  Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 of this Secured Indenture shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

SECTION 7.09                                  Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc .

This Secured Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1), (2) and (5).  The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 310(b).

SECTION 7.11                                  Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company .

The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b).  A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

SECTION 7.12                                  Authorization of Security Documents .

By their acceptance of the Secured Notes, the Holders hereby (i) accept and acknowledge the terms of the Security Agreement applicable to the Trustee and such Holders and agree to be bound by the terms thereof applicable to such Holders, with all the rights and obligations of an Additional Secured Party thereunder and bound by all the provisions thereof as fully as if it had been an Additional Secured Party on the effective date of the Security Agreement and (ii) authorize and direct the Trustee and Collateral Agent, as the case may be, to execute and deliver the Security Documents and any other document purporting to create a security interest in favor of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the Holders of the Secured Notes, including any Security Documents executed after the Issue Date.  It is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that, in doing so, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent are not responsible for the terms or contents of such agreements, or for the validity or enforceability thereof, or the sufficiency thereof for any purpose.  Whether or not so expressly stated therein, in entering into, or taking (or forbearing from) any action under pursuant to, the Security Documents or any other document purporting to create a security interest in favor of the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent for their benefit and the benefit of the Holders of the Secured Notes, each shall have all of the rights, immunities, indemnities and other protections granted to it under this Secured Indenture (in addition to those that may be granted to it under the terms of such other agreement or agreements).
