"Consolidated Depreciation Expense" for any period means the depreciation expense of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries for such period, including, without limitation, the amount of any impairment charge required in such period in respect of any assets, all determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.

"Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio" means the ratio of Consolidated Cash Flow during the most recent four consecutive full fiscal quarters for which financial statements are available (for purposes of this definition, the "Four-Quarter Period") ending on or prior to the date of the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (for purposes of this definition, the "Transaction Date") to Consolidated Interest Expense for the Four-Quarter Period. For purposes of this definition, Consolidated Cash Flow and Consolidated Interest Expense shall be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis for the period of such calculation to: (1) the incurrence of any Indebtedness or the issuance of any Preferred Stock of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (and the application of the proceeds thereof) and any repayment of other Indebtedness or redemption of Preferred Stock (and 5 the application of the proceeds therefrom) (other than the incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness in the ordinary course of business for working capital purposes pursuant to any revolving credit arrangement) occurring during the Four-Quarter Period or at any time subsequent to the last day of the Four-Quarter Period and on or prior to the Transaction Date, as if such incurrence, repayment, issuance or redemption, as the case may be (and the application of the proceeds thereof), occurred on the first day of the Four-Quarter Period; and (2) any asset sale or other disposition or Asset Acquisition (including, without limitation, any Asset Acquisition giving rise to the need to make such calculation as a result of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (including any Person who becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Acquisition) incurring Acquired Indebtedness and also including any Consolidated Cash Flow (including any pro forma expense and cost reductions calculated on a basis consistent with Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act) associated with any such Asset Acquisition) occurring during the Four-Quarter Period or at any time subsequent to the last day of the Four-Quarter Period and on or prior to the Transaction Date, as if such asset sale or Asset Acquisition or other disposition (including the incurrence of, or assumption or liability for, any such Indebtedness or Acquired Indebtedness) occurred on the first day of the Four-Quarter Period. In addition, for purposes of making the computation referred to above, (i) the Consolidated Cash Flow attributable to discontinued operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and operations or businesses disposed of prior to the Transaction Date, shall be excluded, and (ii) the Consolidated Interest Expense attributable to discontinued operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and operations or businesses disposed of prior to the Transaction Date, shall be excluded, but only to the extent that the obligations giving rise to such Consolidated Interest Expense will not be obligations of the referenced Person or any of its Subsidiaries following the Transaction Date. If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary directly or indirectly guarantees Indebtedness of a third Person, the preceding sentence shall give effect to the incurrence of such guaranteed Indebtedness as if the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary had directly incurred or otherwise assumed such guaranteed Indebtedness. In calculating Consolidated Interest Expense for purposes of determining the denominator (but not the numerator) of the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio: (1) interest on outstanding Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis as of the Transaction Date and which will continue to be so determined thereafter shall be deemed to have accrued at a fixed rate per annum equal to the rate of interest on this Indebtedness in effect on the Transaction Date; (2) if interest on any Indebtedness actually incurred on the Transaction Date may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rates, then the interest rate in effect on the Transaction Date will be deemed to have been in effect during the Four-Quarter Period; and (3) notwithstanding clause (1) or (2) above, interest on Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis, to the extent such interest is covered by agreements relating to Hedging Obligations, shall be deemed to accrue at the rate per annum resulting after giving effect to the operation of these agreements. 6 "Consolidated Interest Expense" for any period means the sum, without duplication, of the total interest expense of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries for such period, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP and including without duplication, (1) imputed interest on Capitalized Lease Obligations and Attributable Indebtedness, (2) commissions, discounts and other fees and charges owed with respect to letters of credit securing financial obligations, bankers' acceptance financing and receivables financings, (3) the net costs associated with Hedging Obligations, (4) accretion of original issue discount and amortization of debt issuance costs, debt discount or premium and other financing fees and expenses, (5) the interest portion of any deferred payment obligations, (6) all other non-cash interest expense, (7) capitalized interest, (8) the amount of any Grossed-Up Preferred Dividends paid or accrued, (9) all interest payable with respect to discontinued operations, and (10) all interest on any Indebtedness of any other Person guaranteed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or secured by a Lien on the assets of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries (whether or not such guarantee or Lien is called upon). "Consolidated Net Income" for any period means the net income (or loss) of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries for such period determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from such net income (to the extent otherwise included therein), without duplication: (1) the net income (or loss) of any Person that is not a Restricted Subsidiary or that is accounted for by the equity method of accounting, except to the extent that cash in an amount equal to any such income has actually been received by the Company or any of its Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiaries from such Person during such period; (2) except to the extent includible in the consolidated net income of the Company pursuant to the foregoing clause (1), the net income (or loss) of any Person that accrued prior to the date that (a) such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or is merged into or consolidated with the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or (b) the assets of such Person are acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; (3) the net income of any Restricted Subsidiary during such period to the extent that the declaration or payment of dividends or similar distributions by such Restricted Subsidiary of that income is not permitted, directly or indirectly, by operation of the terms of its charter or any agreement, instrument, judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or governmental regulation applicable to that Subsidiary during such period, except that the Company's equity in a net loss of any such Restricted Subsidiary for such period shall be included in determining Consolidated Net Income; (4) any gain (or loss), together with any related provisions for taxes on any such gain (or the tax effect of any such loss), realized during such period by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary upon (a) the acquisition of any securities, or the extinguishment of any Indebtedness, of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or (b) other than for purposes of calculating the Restricted Payments Basket, any asset sale by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; 7 (5) any extraordinary gain (or extraordinary loss), together with any related provision for taxes on any such extraordinary gain (or the tax effect of any such extraordinary loss), realized by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary during such period; (6) the net effect of the write off of any deferred financing charges resulting from the issuance of the Notes, the Term Loan B Notes and the New Credit Agreement; (7) the net income of any Person acquired in a pooling of interests transaction for any period prior to the date of its acquisition; and (8) the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles.

The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange ("Registrar") and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment ("Paying Agent") within the City and State of New York. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term "Registrar" includes any co-registrar and the term "Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Agreement. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar. The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Depositary Custodian with respect to the Global Notes. 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders 33 all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes. 2.05 Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). 2.06 Transfer and Exchange. (a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes only if (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary or (ii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee. Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding events in (i) or (ii) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10 hereof. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or 2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a). However, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b) or (c) hereof. (b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Applicable Procedures. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also shall require compliance with either subparagraph (i) or (ii) below, as applicable: (i) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. Beneficial interests in any Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.06(b)(i). 34 (ii) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.06(b)(i) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either (A) (1) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase or (B) (1) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a Definitive Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given by the Depositary to the Registrar containing information regarding the Person in whose name such Definitive Note shall be registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in (1) above. Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Agreement and the Notes the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.06(g) hereof. (c) Transfer or Exchange of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes for Definitive Notes. If any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a Definitive Note or to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note, then, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.06(b)(ii) hereof, the Trustee shall cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Note to be reduced accordingly pursuant to Section 2.06(g) hereof, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the instructions a Definitive Note in the appropriate principal amount. Any Definitive Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 2.06(c) shall be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest shall instruct the Registrar through instructions from the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant. The Trustee shall deliver such Definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered. (d) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. A Holder of a Definitive Note may exchange such Note for a beneficial interest in a Global Note or transfer such Definitive Note to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note at any time. Upon receipt of a request for such an exchange or transfer, the Trustee shall cancel the applicable Definitive Note and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of one of the Global Notes. If any such exchange or transfer from a Definitive Note to a beneficial interest is effected at a time when a Global Note has not yet been issued, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of Definitive Notes so transferred. 35 (e) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Definitive Notes. Upon request by a Holder of Definitive Notes and such Holder's compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.06(e), the Registrar shall register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Notes. Prior to such registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting Holder shall present or surrender to the Registrar the Definitive Notes duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by its attorney, duly authorized in writing. (f) Legends. The following legend, in addition to any legend required by the Depositary, shall appear on the face of all Global Notes issued under this Agreement: "THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE OR CUSTODIAN, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (I) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06 OF THE INDENTURE, (II) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06(a) OF THE INDENTURE, (III) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE DELIVERED TO THE TRUSTEE FOR CANCELLATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.11 OF THE INDENTURE AND (IV) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE COMPANY." (g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase. (h) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges. (i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon the Company's order or at the Registrar's request. (ii) No service charge shall be made to a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or 36 exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 4.15 and 9.05 hereof). (iii) The Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. (iv) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. (v) The Trustee shall not be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection or (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. (vi) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary. (vii) The Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof. (viii) All certifications, certificates and opinions of counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile. (ix) Each Holder agrees to indemnify the Company and the Trustee against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment by such Holder of such Holder's Note in violation of any provision of this Agreement and/or applicable United States federal or state securities law. (x) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Agreement or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Participants and/or Indirect Participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) 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 Agreement, and to examine the same to 37 determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. The Trustee shall have no liability for the actions or omissions of the Depositary. 2.07 Replacement Notes. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee's requirements are met. An indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note. Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. 2.08 Outstanding Notes. The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note. If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser. If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest. 2.09 Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes as to which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge are so owned shall be so disregarded. 38 2.10 Temporary Notes. Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Agreement. 2.11 Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its procedures for the disposition of canceled securities in effect as of the date of such disposition (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the disposition of all canceled Notes shall be delivered to the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. 2.12 Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the 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 on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. 2.13 CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use "CUSIP", "ISIN" or similar numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP", "ISIN" or similar numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the "CUSIP", "ISIN" or similar numbers. 39 ARTICLE III REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT 3.01 Notices to Trustee. If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 45 days (or such shorter period acceptable to the Trustee) but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officer's Certificate setting forth (i) the clause of this Agreement pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price. 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed or purchased among the Holders of the Notes in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or in accordance with any other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular 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 Notes not previously called for redemption. Further, in the event of a partial redemption in accordance with Section 3.07 (so long as Global Note) or 3.08 hereof, selection of the Notes or portions thereof for redemption shall be made by the Trustee only on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to the procedures of DTC), unless such method is otherwise prohibited. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $1 or whole multiples of $1; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1, shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Agreement that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. 3.03 Notice of Redemption. 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 Notes are to be redeemed at its address set forth in the register. The notice shall identify the Notes (including the CUSIP, ISIN or similar numbers, if any) to be redeemed and shall state: (a) the redemption date; (b) the redemption price; 40 (c) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the original Note; (d) the name and address of the Paying Agent; (e) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price; (f) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; (g) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Agreement pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and (h) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP, ISIN or similar number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes. At the Company's 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 15 days prior to the date of the mailing of such notice, an Officer's Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in this Section 3.03. 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once a notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional. 3.05 Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to the 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 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 Notes to be redeemed. If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a 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 Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any 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 41 paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. 3.06 Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and, upon the Company's written request, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered. 3.07 Optional Redemption. (a) At any time after the Issue Date, the Company shall have the option to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on March 15 of the years indicated below:

(b) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof. 3.08 Mandatory Redemption. (a) Notwithstanding anything in Section 4.10 hereof to the contrary, (i) the Net Available Proceeds of some or all of the Collateral resulting from one or more Asset Sales and (ii) an amount equal to 75% of any Net PWC Litigation Recovery shall be used by the Company to redeem Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the Notes so redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable redemption date. No redemption pursuant to this Section 3.08 must be made until such time as the aggregate amount of (i) Net Available Proceeds received by the Company, (ii) Net PWC Litigation Recovery received by the Company, and (iii) any funds remitted to the 3.08(b) Account pursuant to Section 11.05 hereof and then available for such purpose equals or exceeds $5.0 million. (b) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.08 shall be made within 90 days of (i) receipt by the Company of Net Available Proceeds, (ii) receipt by the Company of Net PWC Litigation Recovery or (iii) remittance of any funds to the 3.08(b) Account pursuant to Section 11.05 hereof requiring such redemption, and shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof. Upon receipt of such amounts, the same shall be Collateral pursuant to the Security Agreement and shall be held by and under the exclusive control of the Collateral Agent in a separate Deposit Account or investment account maintained at the Collateral Agent or The Bank of New York in the name of the Collateral Agent, as collateral agent (collectively, the 42 "3.08(b) Account"), and may be invested by the Collateral Agent in cash or Cash Equivalents in accordance with the written instructions of the Company and any interest or investment gain thereon shall be added to, and considered a part of, such Net Available Proceeds or Net PWC Litigation Recovery. ARTICLE IV COVENANTS 4.01 Payment of Notes. The Company shall pay or cause to be paid the principal of and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes. Principal and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 12:00 noon Eastern Time on the due date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal and interest then due. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate equal to 2% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful. 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Agreement may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.03. 4.03 Reports. (a) The Company shall furnish to the Trustee: 43 (i) within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, its audited consolidated balance sheet and related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows as of the end of and for such year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year, all reported on by its independent public accountants of recognized national standing (without a "going concern" or like qualification or exception and without any qualification or exception as to the scope of such audit) to the effect that such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP consistently applied; (ii) within 60 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year of the Company, its unaudited consolidated balance sheet and related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows as of the end of and for such fiscal quarter and the then elapsed portion of the fiscal year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the corresponding period or periods of (or, in the case of the balance sheet, as of the end of) the previous fiscal year, all certified by one of its financial officers as presenting fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes; (iii) copies of the Company's annual report and the information, documents and other reports that are specified in Section 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act (collectively, the "Required Information"), whether or not the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to be provided within 15 days after the Company files them with the Commission (or would be required to file with the Commission); provided, however, that if any of the Required Information is filed with the Commission, the Company shall only be required to provide the Trustee copies of such Required Information. Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the Commission, the Company will file a copy of such information and reports with the Commission for public availability within the time periods set forth in the Commission's rules and regulations (unless the Commission will not accept such a filing). (b) The Company shall also provide such information as may, from time to time, be necessary to comply with any applicable provisions of TIA Section 314(a). (c) Delivery of such financial statements, reports, information and documents to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 4.03 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee's receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company's compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer's Certificates). 4.04 Compliance Certificate. 44 (a) The Company, and to the extent required under the TIA, each Guarantor, shall deliver to the Trustee, within 130 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officer's Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and each such Guarantor during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company and each such Guarantor has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Company and each such Guarantor has complied with all conditions and covenants under this Agreement and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

(c) The Company shall, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible, and in any event within five days after any Officer becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officer's Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 4.05 Taxes. The Company shall pay, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and diligently conducted or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes. 4.06 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Company and each of the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Agreement; and the Company and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any 45 such law, and covenants that it shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted. 4.07 Restricted Payments. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted Payment if at the time of such Restricted Payment: (i) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a consequence thereof; (ii) the Company cannot incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception at the time of making such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment was made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period; or (iii) the amount of such Restricted Payment, when added to the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made after the Issue Date (other than Restricted Payments made pursuant to clause (iii)(B), (iv), (v) or (vi) of Section 4.07(b) below), exceeds the sum (the "Restricted Payments Basket") of (without duplication): (A) 50% of Consolidated Net Income Available For Common Stock for the period (taken as one accounting period) commencing on the first day of the first full fiscal quarter commencing after the Issue Date to and including the last day of the fiscal quarter ended immediately prior to the date of such calculation for which consolidated financial statements are available (or, if such Consolidated Net Income Available For Common Stock shall be a deficit, minus 100% of such aggregate deficit), plus (B) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company either (x) as contributions to the common equity of the Company after the Issue Date or (y) from the issuance and sale of Qualified Equity Interests after the Issue Date, other than any such proceeds which are used to redeem Notes in accordance with Section 3.07 hereof, plus (C) the aggregate amount by which Indebtedness (other than any Subordinated Indebtedness) incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary subsequent to the Issue Date is reduced on the Company's balance sheet upon the conversion or exchange (other than by a Subsidiary of the Company) into Qualified Equity Interests (less the amount of any cash, or the Fair Market Value of assets, distributed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary upon such conversion or exchange), plus (D) in the case of the disposition or repayment in cash of or cash return on any Investment that was treated as a Restricted Payment made after the Issue Date, an amount (to the extent not included in the computation of Consolidated Net Income) equal to the lesser of (1) the cash return of capital with respect to 46 such Investment and (2) the amount of such Investment that was treated as a Restricted Payment, in either case, less the cost of the disposition of such Investment and net of taxes, plus (E) upon a Redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary, the lesser of (1) the Fair Market Value of the Company's proportionate interest in such Subsidiary immediately following such Redesignation, and (2) the aggregate amount of the Company's Investments in such Subsidiary to the extent such Investments previously reduced the Restricted Payments Basket and were not previously repaid or otherwise reduced. (b) The foregoing provisions will not prohibit: (i) the payment by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of any dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if on the date of declaration the payment would have complied with the provisions of this Agreement; (ii) the redemption of any Equity Interests of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent issuance and sale of, Qualified Equity Interests; (iii) the redemption of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (A) in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent issuance and sale of Qualified Equity Interests or (B) in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent incurrence of, Refinancing Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 4.09 hereof and other terms of this Agreement; (iv) repurchases of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options if the Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise price thereof; (v) the issuance or grant of shares, equity interests, options or warrants, stock appreciation rights or units, or other similar payments issued or granted pursuant to employee incentive plans approved by the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, of the Company; (vi) the payment by the Company of dividends on its Capital Stock accruing after the Issue Date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $13 million in any fiscal year; (vii) the payment by the Company of dividends on its Capital Stock accrued for periods prior to the Issue Date, so long as (A) the aggregate amount of such dividends in arrears shall not exceed (1) $19.6 million paid in the aggregate after the Issue Date or (2) the ECF Carry Forward Amount, if any, then in existence; provided, however, that in the case of any Restricted Payment pursuant to clause (i), (iii), (vi) or (vii) above, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or occur as a consequence thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture, on and after the Issue Date, the Company will not, and the Company will not permit any Subsidiary to, in one or a series of related transactions, directly or indirectly, (1) make any Investment in SAC Holding or a Person in which one or more Designated Persons beneficially own in the aggregate more than 1% of the Equity Interests of such Person, other than Exempted Designated Person Transactions (provided that this clause (1) shall not prevent Investments by the Company in any of its Subsidiaries or by any of its Subsidiaries in any of the other Subsidiaries of the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture), or (2) forgive or waive the repayment or retirement or amend the terms of any Investment in existence on, or after (in the case of an Exempted Designated Person Transaction), the Issue Date in SAC Holding or any such Person made by the Company or any Subsidiary that is required to be repaid or retired by the terms of such Investment as in effect on, or after (in the case of any Exempted Designated Person Transaction), the Issue Date (other than in accordance with the terms thereof as in effect on the date the Investment is made). 47 The amount of all Restricted Payments shall be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. 4.08 Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: (a) pay dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Equity Interests; (b) make loans or advances or pay any Indebtedness or other obligation owed to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary; or (c) transfer any of its assets to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary; except for: (i) encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of applicable law; (ii) encumbrances or restrictions existing under this Agreement, the Notes and the Note Guarantees; (iii) customary non-assignment provisions of any contract or any lease entered into in the ordinary course of business; (iv) encumbrances or restrictions existing under agreements existing on the date of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the New Credit Agreement) as in effect on that date; (v) restrictions on the transfer of assets subject to any Lien permitted under this Agreement imposed by the holder of such Lien; (vi) restrictions on the transfer of assets imposed under any agreement to sell such assets permitted under this Agreement to any Person pending the closing of such sale; (vii) any instrument governing Acquired Indebtedness, the incurrence of which was permitted under this Agreement, which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person or the properties or assets of the Person so acquired; (viii) any other agreement governing Indebtedness entered into after the Issue Date that contains encumbrances and restrictions that are not materially more restrictive with respect to any Restricted Subsidiary than those in effect on the Issue Date with respect to that Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to agreements in effect on the Issue Date; (ix) customary provisions in partnership agreements, limited liability company organizational governance documents, Joint Venture agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business that restrict the transfer of 48 ownership interests in such partnership, limited liability company, Joint Venture or similar Person; (x) Non-Recourse Purchase Money Indebtedness incurred in compliance with Section 4.09 hereof that imposes restrictions of the nature described in clause (c) above on the assets acquired; (xi) Indebtedness arising from the guarantee of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Indebtedness of the Company, the incurrence of which was permitted under this Agreement; and (xii) any encumbrances or restrictions imposed by any amendments or refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (i) through (x) above; provided, however, that such amendments or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Company's Board of Directors, no more materially restrictive with respect to such encumbrances and restrictions than those prior to such amendment or refinancing. 4.09 Limitation on Additional Indebtedness. (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness); provided, however, that the Company or any Guarantor may incur additional Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) if, after giving effect thereto on the date of incurrence of such additional indebtedness, the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio would be at least 2.25 to 1.00 (the "Coverage Ratio Exception"). (b) Notwithstanding clause (a) above, each of the following shall be permitted ("Permitted Indebtedness"): (i) Indebtedness of the Company and any Guarantor incurred under the New Credit Agreement and all other obligations in respect thereof in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $575.0 million, less mandatory permanent prepayments and permanent reductions made pursuant to Section 4.10 plus: (A) advances made pursuant to the New Credit Agreement to pay expenses of the lenders thereunder (including expenses accruing after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (as defined in the New Credit Agreement), whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition expenses is allowed in such proceeding), (B) advances made to protect or preserve the "Collateral" under the New Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents (as defined in the New Credit Agreement), (C) advances made to pay interest (including interest accruing under Section 2.6(c) of the New Credit Agreement (or a comparable section, as applicable) and interest accruing after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (as defined in the New Credit Agreement), whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding) and (D) advances made pursuant to the New Credit Agreement to pay fees under the New Credit Agreement (including fees accruing after the commencement of any Insolvency or 49 Liquidation Proceeding (as defined in the New Credit Agreement), whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition fees are allowed in such proceeding); (ii) the Notes issued on the Issue Date and the Note Guarantees; (iii) Indebtedness of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries to the extent outstanding on the Issue Date, including, without limitation, Indebtedness of the Company under the Term Loan B Notes;

(v) Indebtedness under Hedging Obligations entered into in the ordinary course of business for bona fide hedging purposes and not for the purpose of speculation; provided, however, that with respect to Hedging Obligations related to interest rates (A) such Hedging Obligations relate to payment obligations on Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred by this Agreement, and (B) the notional principal amount of such Hedging Obligations at the time incurred does not exceed the principal amount of the Indebtedness to which such Hedging Obligations relate; (vi) Indebtedness of the Company owed to a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary and Indebtedness of any Guarantor owed to the Company or any Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that (A) with respect to Indebtedness of the Company, such Indebtedness shall be unsecured and contractually subordinated to the Company's obligations under the Notes; and (B) upon any such Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary or such Indebtedness being owed to any Person other than the Company or a Guarantor, the Company or such Guarantor, as applicable, shall be deemed to have incurred Indebtedness not permitted by this clause (vi); (vii) Indebtedness in respect of bid, performance or surety bonds issued for the account of the Company or any Guarantor in the ordinary course of business, including guarantees or obligations of the Company or any Guarantor with respect to letters of credit supporting such bid, performance or surety obligations (in each case other than for an obligation for money borrowed);

and (xiii) Indebtedness, in addition to Indebtedness incurred pursuant to the foregoing clauses of this definition, with an aggregate principal face or stated amount (as applicable) at any time outstanding for all such Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause not in excess of $7.5 million. (c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (i) through (xiii) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, classify such item of Indebtedness and may divide and classify such Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described, except that Indebtedness incurred under the New Credit Agreement on the Issue Date shall be deemed to have been incurred under clause (i) above. Accrual of interest, accretion or amortization of original issue discount or the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this covenant; provided, however, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in fixed charges of the Company as accrued. 4.10 Asset Sales. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Sale unless (i) no Default exists or is continuing immediately prior to and after giving effect to the Asset Sale, and (ii) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives (A) consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets included in such Asset Sale, except that in the case of an Asset Sale of any Sale Property or Surplus Property, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary must receive consideration at least equal to 80% of the Appraised Value of the assets in such Asset Sale, (B) in the case of a lease of assets that constitutes an Asset Sale, a lease providing for rents or other consideration which are no less favorable to the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary than the prevailing market conditions as determined in good faith by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors and (C) in the case of an Asset Sale of Collateral (other than Oxford Stock), at least 75% of the proceeds from such Asset Sale in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. If at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale is repaid or converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then the date of such repayment, conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute the date of an Asset Sale hereunder and, except as 51 provided in Section 3.08, the Net Available Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this Section 4.10. If such Asset Sale is a sale of Collateral, then the Net Available Proceeds shall be applied in accordance with Section 3.08 and any lien termination to be provided by the Collateral Agent in respect of such Asset Sale shall be subject to the condition that all Net Available Proceeds consisting of cash be remitted directly from the buyer or any escrow agent to the Section 3.08(b) Account. If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary engages in an Asset Sale in respect of any asset that is not Collateral or the proceeds or profits therefrom, except as provided in Section 3.08, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall, no later than 360 days following the consummation thereof, apply all or any of the Net Available Proceeds therefrom to: (1) make payments under the New Credit Agreement or redeem any other Senior Indebtedness; provided, however, that such payments or redemption result in a permanent reduction in commitments thereunder; (2) repay any Indebtedness which was secured by the assets sold in such Asset Sale; and/or (3) invest all or any part of the Net Available Proceeds thereof in the purchase of assets to be used by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in the Permitted Business or the purchase of an entity engaged in a Permitted Business that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary. (b) The amount of Net Available Proceeds not applied or invested as provided in Section 3.08 or Section 4.10(a) will constitute "Excess Proceeds." When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds equals or exceeds $10.0 million, the Company shall be required to make an offer to purchase Notes from all Holders and, if applicable, redeem (or make an offer to do so) any Pari Passu Indebtedness of the Company the incurrence of which was permitted under this Agreement and the provisions of which require the Company to redeem such Indebtedness with the proceeds from any Asset Sales (or offer to do so), in an aggregate principal amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness equal to the amount of such Excess Proceeds as follows: (i) the Company shall (A) make an offer to purchase Notes (a "Net Proceeds Offer") to all Holders in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement, and (B) redeem (or make an offer to do so) any such other Pari Passu Indebtedness, in an amount equal to the maximum principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness that may be redeemed out of the amount (the "Payment Amount") of such Excess Proceeds; (ii) the offer price for the Notes shall be payable in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date such Net Proceeds Offer is consummated (the "Offered Price"), in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement and the redemption price for such Pari Passu Indebtedness (the "Pari Passu Indebtedness Price") shall be as set forth in the related documentation governing such Indebtedness; (iii) if the aggregate (a) Offered Price of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by Holders thereof and (b) principal amount of Pari Passu Indebtedness required to be redeemed exceeds the Payment Amount, Notes to be purchased and Pari Passu Indebtedness to be redeemed will be selected on a pro rata basis; and 52 (iv) upon completion of such Net Proceeds Offer in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the amount of Excess Proceeds with respect to which such Net Proceeds Offer was made shall be deemed to be zero. (c) To the extent that the sum of the aggregate Offered Price of Notes tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer and the aggregate Pari Passu Indebtedness Price paid to the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness is less than the Payment Amount relating thereto (such shortfall constituting a "Net Proceeds Deficiency"), the Company may use the Net Proceeds Deficiency, or a portion thereof, for general corporate purposes or any other purpose permitted under this Agreement. The Company shall comply with applicable tender offer rules, including the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with Section 4.10 hereof, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 4.10 hereof by virtue of such compliance. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture, on and after the Issue Date, the Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, in one or a series of related transactions, directly or indirectly, (1) engage in any Asset Sale to SAC Holding or a Person in which one or more Designated Persons beneficially own in the aggregate more than 1% of the Equity Interests of such Person (provided that this clause (1) shall not prevent transactions between or among the Company and any of its Subsidiaries in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture), or (2) engage in any transaction which involves the sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition by SAC Holding or a Person in which one or more Designated Persons beneficially own in the aggregate more than 1% of the Equity Interests of such Person of property, rights or assets (including by merger or consolidation in the case of a Subsidiary and including any sale or other transfer or issuance of any Equity Interests of a Subsidiary) to the Company or any Subsidiary, other than in each case Exempted Designated Person Transactions. 4.11 Transactions with Affiliates and Designated Persons. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its assets to, or purchase any assets from, or enter into any contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (an "Affiliate Transaction"), or any series or related Affiliate Transactions, other than Exempted Affiliate Transactions, unless: (i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm's-length basis by the Company or that Restricted Subsidiary from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company or that Restricted Subsidiary; and 53 (ii) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) above and a Secretary's Certificate which sets forth and authenticates a resolution that has been adopted by the Independent Directors approving such Affiliate Transaction. (b) The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to: (i) transactions exclusively between or among (A) the Company and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries that are Guarantors or (B) a Restricted Subsidiary and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries that are Guarantors; provided, however, in each case, that no Affiliate of the Company (other than another Restricted Subsidiary) owns Equity Interests of any such Restricted Subsidiary; (ii) reasonable director, officer and employee compensation (including bonuses) and other benefits (including retirement, health, stock option and other benefit plans) and indemnification arrangements provided on behalf of such directors, officers and employees; (iii) the entering into of a tax sharing agreement, or payments pursuant thereto, between the Company and/or one or more Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any other Person with which the Company or such Subsidiaries are required or permitted to file a consolidated tax return or with which the Company or such Subsidiaries are part of a consolidated group for tax purposes, on the other hand, which payments by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not in excess of the tax liabilities that would have been payable by them on a stand-alone basis; (iv) loans and advances to employees of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of commissions, business expenses, travel and relocation and other similar expenses in the ordinary course of business; and (v) any transaction with an Affiliate where the only consideration paid by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is Qualified Equity Interests. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture, on and after the Issue Date, the Company will not, and the Company will not permit any Subsidiary to, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make any contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, SAC Holding (irrespective of whether SAC Holding is an Affiliate of one or more Designated Persons) or any Affiliate of SAC Holdings or any Person in which one or more Designated Persons beneficially own in the aggregate more than 1% of the Equity Interests of such Person, other than Exempted Designated Person Transactions (provided that this paragraph shall not prevent transactions between or among the Company and any of its Subsidiaries in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture). 4.12 Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or permit or suffer to exist (a) any Lien of any nature whatsoever against (other than Permitted Liens) any Collateral; or (b) any Lien of any nature whatsoever (other than Permitted Liens) against any other assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (including Equity Interests of a Restricted Subsidiary), whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, or any proceeds therefrom, which Lien secures Indebtedness, unless contemporaneously therewith: (i) in the case of any Lien securing an obligation that ranks pari passu with the Notes or a Note Guarantee, effective provision is made to secure the Notes or such Note Guarantee, as the case may be, at least equally and ratably with or prior to such obligation with a Lien on the same collateral; and (ii) in the case of any Lien securing an obligation that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or a Note Guarantee, effective 54 provision is made to secure the Notes or such Note Guarantee, as the case may be, with a Lien on the same collateral that is prior to the Lien securing such subordinated obligation, in each case, for so long as such obligation is secured by such Lien. 4.13 Business Activities. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any business other than a Permitted Business. 4.14 Corporate Existence. (a) Subject to Article V hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Subsidiary and (ii) its rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises and those of its Subsidiaries material to its and its Subsidiaries' business; provided that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries if the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes. (b) The Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to ensure that the Dormant Subsidiaries (a) shall remain inactive, (b) shall not engage in any business activities (other than winding up or dissolution), (c) shall not have assets with an aggregate fair market value in excess of $100,000, and (d) shall not have any annual operating expenditures or other liabilities.

Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail, or cause to be mailed, to the Holders a notice: (i) describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control, (ii) offering to purchase, pursuant to the procedures of this Agreement and described in the notice (a "Change of Control Offer"), on a date specified in the notice (which shall be a Business Day not earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date the notice is mailed) (the "Change of Control Payment Date") and for the Change of 55 Control Purchase Price, all Notes properly tendered by such Holder pursuant to such Change of Control Offer; and (iii) describing the procedures that Holders must follow to accept the Change of Control Offer. The Change of Control Offer is required to remain open for at least 20 Business Days or for such longer period as is required by law. The provisions of this Section 4.15 require the Company to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control and shall be applicable regardless of whether any other provisions of this Agreement are applicable. The Company may, at any time and from time to time, acquire Notes by means other than a redemption, whether pursuant to an issuer tender offer, open market purchase or otherwise, so long as the acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of this Article IV. 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 and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes in connection with a Change of Control.

The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes so tendered payment in an amount equal to the purchase price for the Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered by such Holder, if any; provided, however, that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $1 or an integral multiple thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.15, 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 4.15 and all other provisions of this Agreement applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

(b) No Subsidiary shall be Designated as an "Unrestricted Subsidiary" unless such Subsidiary: (i) has no Indebtedness other than Non-Recourse Debt; (ii) is not party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding with the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary unless the terms of the agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding are no less favorable to the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary than those that might be obtained at the time from Persons who are not Affiliates; (iii) is a Person with respect to which neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary has any direct or indirect obligation (A) to subscribe for additional Equity Interests or (B) to maintain or preserve the Person's financial condition or to cause the Person to achieve any specified levels of operating results; and (iv) has not guaranteed or otherwise directly or indirectly provided credit support for any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, except for any guarantee given solely to support the pledge by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Equity Interests of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, which guarantee is not recourse to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, and except to the extent the amount thereof constitutes a Restricted Payment permitted under Section 4.07 hereof. (c) If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary fails to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Agreement and any Indebtedness of the Subsidiary and any Liens on assets of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of the date and, if the Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred under Section 4.09 hereof or the Lien is not permitted under Section 4.12 hereof, the Company shall be in default of the applicable covenant. (d) The Company may redesignate an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary (a "Redesignation") only if: 57 (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of and after giving effect to such Redesignation; and (ii) all Liens, Indebtedness and Investments of such Unrestricted Subsidiary outstanding immediately following such Redesignation would, if incurred or made at such time, have been permitted to be incurred or made for all purposes of this Agreement.

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, sell or issue any shares of Equity Interests of any Restricted Subsidiary except (a) to the Company, a Restricted Subsidiary or the minority stockholders of any Restricted Subsidiary, if any, on a pro rata basis, at Fair Market Value, or (b) to the extent such shares represent directors' qualifying shares or shares required by applicable law to be held by a Person other than the Company or a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary. The sale of all the Equity Interests of any Restricted Subsidiary is permitted by this Section 4.17 but is subject to Section 4.10 hereof. 4.18 Additional Note Guarantees. If, after the Issue Date, (i) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall acquire or create another Subsidiary (other than a Subsidiary that has been designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary) or (ii) any Unrestricted Subsidiary is redesignated a Restricted Subsidiary, then, in each such case, the Company shall cause such Restricted Subsidiary to: (A) execute and deliver to the Trustee (1) a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto and (2) a notation of guarantee in respect of its Note Guarantee substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto; and (B) deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that each of such supplemental indenture and notation of guarantee (1) has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary and (2) constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with its terms, in which case the Trustee is authorized and directed to execute and deliver such Supplemental Indenture. 4.19 Limitations on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction; provided, however, that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may enter into a Sale and Leaseback Transaction if: (a) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary could have (i) incurred the Indebtedness attributable to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction pursuant to Section 4.09 hereof and (ii) incurred a Lien to secure such Indebtedness without being required to equally and ratably secure the Notes pursuant to Section 4.12 hereof; 58 (b) the gross cash proceeds of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction are at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the asset that is the subject of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction; and (c) the transfer of assets in such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is permitted by, and the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary applies the proceeds of such transaction in accordance with Section 3.08 or Section 4.10 hereof, as applicable. 4.20 Payments for Consent.

ARTICLE V SUCCESSORS 5.01 Merger, Consolidation, or Sale of Assets. The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, (a) consolidate or merge with or into (other than a merger with a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary solely for the purpose of changing the Company's jurisdiction of incorporation to another State of the United States), or sell, lease, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of or assign all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) or (b) adopt a Plan of Liquidation unless, in either case; (i) either: (1) the Company will be the surviving or continuing Person; or (2) the Person formed by or surviving such consolidation or merger or to which such sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall be made (or, in the case of a Plan of Liquidation, any Person to which assets are transferred) (collectively, the "Successor") is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of any State of the United States of America or the District of Columbia, and the Successor expressly assumes, by supplemental indenture, all of the obligations of the Company under the Notes, this Agreement and the Security Documents; (ii) immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the assumption of the obligations as set forth in clause (i)(2) above and 59 the incurrence of any Indebtedness to be incurred in connection therewith, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and (iii) immediately after and giving effect to such transaction and the assumption of the obligations set forth in clause (i)(2) above and the incurrence of any Indebtedness to be incurred in connection therewith, and the use of any net proceeds therefrom on a pro forma basis, (1) the Consolidated Net Worth of the Company or the Successor, as the case may be, would be at least equal to the Consolidated Net Worth of the Company immediately prior to such transaction and (2) the Company or the Successor, as the case may be, could incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception. For purposes of this Section 5.01, any Indebtedness of the Successor which was not Indebtedness of the Company immediately prior to the transaction shall be deemed to have been incurred in connection with such transaction. Except as provided in Sections 10.04 and 10.05 hereof, no Guarantor may consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, whether or not affiliated with such Guarantor. For purposes of the foregoing, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise, in a single transaction or series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of one or more Restricted Subsidiaries, the Equity Interests of which constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Restricted Subsidiary may merge into the Company or a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary. 5.02 Successor Corporation Substituted. Upon any consolidation or merger of the Company or a Guarantor, or any conveyance, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in accordance with Section 5.01 hereof, in which the Company or such Guarantor is not the continuing obligor under the Notes or its Note Guarantee, the surviving entity formed by such consolidation or into which the Company or such Guarantor is merged or to which the conveyance, lease or transfer is made will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company or such Guarantor under this Agreement, the Notes, the Note Guarantees and the Security Documents with the same effect as if such surviving entity had been named therein as the Company or such Guarantor and, except in the case of a conveyance, transfer or lease, the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, will be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes or in respect of its Note Guarantee, as the case may be, and all of the Company's or such Guarantor's other obligations and covenants under the Notes, this Agreement, its Note Guarantee and the Security Documents, if applicable; provided, however, that the surviving entity shall have assumed all of the obligations of the acquired Person incurred under this Agreement, the Notes, the Note Guarantees and the Security Documents as provided in Section 5.01. 60 ARTICLE VI DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 6.01 Events of Default. Each of the following is an "Event of Default": (a) failure by the Company to pay interest on any of the Notes when it becomes due and payable and the continuance of any such failure for 30 days; (b) failure by the Company to pay the principal of any of the Notes when it becomes due and payable, whether at stated maturity, upon redemption, upon purchase, upon acceleration or otherwise; (c) failure by the Company to comply with any of its agreements or covenants described under Sections 3.08, 4.07, 4.09, 4.10, 4.15 and 5.01 hereof; (d) failure by the Company to comply with any other agreement or covenant in this Agreement or the Security Documents and continuance of this failure for 30 days after notice of the failure has been given to the Company by the Trustee or by the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; (e) default under any mortgage, indenture or other instrument or agreement under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness now exists or is incurred after the Issue Date, which default: (i) is caused by a failure to pay when due principal on such Indebtedness within the applicable express grace period, (ii) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express final maturity or (iii) results in the commencement of judicial proceedings to foreclose upon, or to exercise remedies under applicable law or applicable security documents to take ownership of, the assets securing such Indebtedness, and in each case, the principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with any other Indebtedness with respect to which an event described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) has occurred and is continuing, aggregates $10 million or more; (f) one or more judgments or orders that exceed $10 million in the aggregate (net of amounts covered by insurance or bonded) for the payment of money have been entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and such judgment or judgments have not been satisfied, stayed, annulled or rescinded within 60 days of being entered; 61 (g) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: (i) commences a voluntary case, (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its assets, (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or (v) generally is not paying its debts as they become due; (h) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: (i) is for relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary as debtor in an involuntary case, (ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or a Custodian for all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, or (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary; and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days; (i) any Note Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of such Note Guarantee and this Agreement) or is declared null and void and unenforceable or found to be invalid or any Guarantor denies its liability under its Note Guarantee (other than by reason of release of a Guarantor from its Note Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Note Guarantee); or (j) an "Event of Default" occurs and is continuing under any of the Security Documents or the Company or any Guarantor repudiates any of its obligations under any of the Security Documents, or any of the Security Documents become unenforceable against any of them for any reason which continues for 30 days after written notice from the Trustee or holders of at least 25% in outstanding principal amount of Notes or the loss of the perfection or priority of the Liens granted by any of them pursuant to the Security Documents occurs for any reason. 6.02 Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Company) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee, by written notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate 62 principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare all amounts owing under the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon such declaration of acceleration, the aggregate principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding Notes shall immediately become due and payable; provided, however, that after such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such outstanding Notes may rescind and annul such acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal and interest, have been cured or waived as provided in this Agreement. If an Event of Default specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs with respect to the Company, all outstanding Notes shall become due and be immediately payable without any further action or notice. (b) If an Event of Default occurs by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Company with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would have had to pay if the Company then had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, then, upon acceleration of the Notes, an equivalent premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable, to the extent permitted by law, anything in this Agreement or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding. 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 and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Agreement. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon 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. 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase) (provided that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration). 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 Agreement; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 6.05 Control by Majority. Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the 63 Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Agreement that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. 6.06 Limitation on Suits. A Holder of a Note may institute a proceeding with respect to this Agreement or for any remedy hereunder only if: (a) the Holder of a Note gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; (b) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; (c) such Holder of a Note or Holders of 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 (e) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request. A Holder of a Note may not use this Agreement to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note. However, the limitations set forth in this Section 6.06 do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of any Note for enforcement of payment of the principal of or interest on such Note on or after the due date therefor (after giving effect to the grace period specified in Section 6.01(a) hereof). 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium and interest on the Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company and the Guarantors for the whole amount of principal of, premium and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent 64 lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file (and the Collateral Agent, upon instruction of the Trustee, shall join in such filing or separately 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 and the Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or the Guarantors (or any other obligor upon the Notes), any of their respective creditors or any of their respective 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 to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee and the Collateral Agent under this Indenture and the Security Documents, including under Sections 7.07 and 11.06 hereof.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 6.10 Priorities. Any money or other property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article VI shall be paid in the following order: First: to the Trustee (including any predecessor Trustee) and the Collateral Agent (including any predecessor Collateral Agent), and their respective agents and attorneys for amounts due under Sections 7.07 and 11.06 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and the costs and expenses of collection; Second: to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, 65 according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium and interest, respectively; and 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 Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10. 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Agreement or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, 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 or a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof. 6.12 Actions of a Holder. For the purpose of providing any consent, waiver or instruction to the Company or the Trustee, a "Holder" or "Noteholder" shall include a Person who provides to the Company or the Trustee, as the case may be, an affidavit of beneficial ownership of a Note together with a satisfactory indemnity against any loss, liability or expense to such party to the extent that it acts upon such affidavit of beneficial ownership (including any consent, waiver or instructions given by a Person providing such affidavit and indemnity).

The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Agreement and services hereunder as the Company and the Trustee shall agree to in writing from time to time. 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, including reimbursement for any payments made by the Trustee to the Collateral Agent for any fees, expenses, indemnities or other amounts owed to the Collateral Agent by the Company or any Guarantor under this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Restated SAC Notes Escrow Agreement. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee's agents and counsel. The Company shall indemnify the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee and their employees, officers, directors and agents against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it or them arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Agreement, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Agreement (including this Section 7.07) and the Notes against the Company and this Agreement, the Notes and the Note Guarantees against the Guarantors and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Guarantor or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. 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 70 fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition to the foregoing, to the extent resulting from or in connection with the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, or administration of this Indenture or any Security Document, and except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee, the Company shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee and their employees, officers, directors and agents from and against any claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs, or expenses of whatever kind or nature, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, arising out of, or in any way related to, (w) the presence, disposal, release, or threatened release of any Hazardous Materials which are on, from, or affecting soil, water, vegetation, buildings, personal property, persons, animals, or otherwise; (x) any personal injury (including wrongful death), property damage (real or personal) or natural resource damage arising out of or related to such Hazardous Materials; (y) any third party claim brought or threatened, settlement reached, or government order, or any policies or requirements of the Trustee, which are based upon or in any way related to such Hazardous Materials including, without limitation, attorney and consultant fees and expenses, investigation and laboratory fees, court costs, and litigation expenses, and (z) any violations of Environmental Laws. For purposes of this Section 7.07 and Section 7.04 hereof: "Hazardous Materials" means, without limit, any pollutant, contaminant or hazardous, toxic, medical, biohazardous, or dangerous waste, substance, constituent or material, defined or regulated as such in, or for the purpose of, any applicable Environmental Law, including, without limitation, any asbestos, any petroleum, oil (including crude oil or any fraction thereof), any radioactive substance, any polychlorinated biphenyls, any toxin, chemical, disease-causing agent or pathogen, and any other substance that gives rise to liability under any applicable Environmental Law; and "Environmental Law" means the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as amended ("CERCLA"), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended, and any other applicable federal, state, local, or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment, directive, decree, permit, license or common law as in effect now, previously, or at any time during the term of this Indenture, and regulating, relating to, or imposing liability or standards of conduct concerning air emissions, water discharges, noise emissions, the release or threatened release or discharge of any Hazardous Material into the environment, the use, manufacture, production, refinement, generation, handling, treatment, storage, transport or disposal of any Hazardous Material or otherwise concerning pollution or the protection of the outdoor or indoor environment, or human health or safety in relation to exposure to Hazardous Materials. The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge or termination of this Agreement. To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that 71 held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge or termination of this Agreement. In addition to and without prejudice to its rights hereunder, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or (h) hereof 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. 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. The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if: (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof; (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; (c) a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or (d) 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 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 at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10, such Holder 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 Agreement. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to 72 Holders. 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 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company's obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation or removal, the resigning or removed Trustee, as the case may be, may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes. 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another Person, the successor Person without any further act shall be the successor Trustee. 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a Person organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. This Agreement 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). 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. 7.12 Co-trustees and Separate Trustees. At any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any of the Collateral may at the time be located, the Company and the Trustee shall have power to appoint, and, upon the written request of the Trustee or of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding, the Company shall for such purpose join with the Trustee in the execution and delivery of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one or more Persons approved by the Trustee and, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, by the Company either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the Trustee, of all or any part of the Collateral, or to act as separate trustee of any such property, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section. If the Company does not join in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of 73 a request so to do, or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have power to make such appointment. Should any written instrument or instruments from the Company be required by any co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed to more fully confirm to such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Company. Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following conditions: (a) the Notes shall be authenticated and delivered, and all rights, powers, duties and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Trustee hereunder, shall be exercised solely, by the Trustee; (b) the rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Trustee in respect of any property covered by such appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed either by the Trustee or by the Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee; (c) the Company and the Trustee, at any time by an instrument in writing, executed by them jointly, may accept the resignation of or remove any such separate trustee or co-trustee, and in that case, by an instrument in writing executed with the Trustee jointly, may appoint a successor to such separate trustee or co-trustee, as the case may be, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding. In the event that the Company shall not have joined in the execution of any instrument within 10 days after the receipt of a written request from the Trustee so to do, or in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall have the power to accept the resignation of or remove any such separate trustee or co-trustee and to appoint a successor without the concurrence of the Company, the Company hereby irrevocably appointing the Trustee its agent and attorney to act for it in such connection in either of such contingencies; (d) neither the Trustee nor any co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and (e) any act of Holders delivered to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee and separate trustee. ARTICLE VIII LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 74 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Company may at any time elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article VIII. 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to the Note Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "Legal Defeasance"). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes and the Note Guarantees, respectively, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Agreement referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Agreement (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.05 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium and interest on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Company's obligations with respect to such Notes under Article II and Section 4.02 hereof, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, indemnities, privileges and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company's and each Guarantor's obligations in connection therewith and (d) this Article VIII. Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. 8.03 Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18 and 4.19 hereof and clause (iii) of Section 5.01 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, "Covenant Defeasance"), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not "outstanding" for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed "outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, 75 except as specified above, the remainder of this Agreement and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(d) through 6.01(f), Section 6.01(i) and Section 6.01(j) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default. 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof to the outstanding Notes: In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance: (a) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, U.S. legal tender, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient (without reinvestment) in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants selected by the Company, to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes on the stated date for payment or on the redemption date of the principal or installment of principal of or interest on the Notes, and the Holders must have a valid, perfected, exclusive security interest in such trust; (b) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) since the date of this Agreement, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; (c) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; (d) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowing); (e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under this Agreement, the New Credit Agreement, the Term Loan B Notes or any other material agreement or instrument to 76 which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound; (f) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company; and (g) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the conditions provided for in, in the case of the Officer's Certificate, clauses (a), (b) and/or (c), (d), (e) and (f) and, in the case of the Opinion of Counsel, clauses (a) (with respect to the validity and perfection of the security interest), (b) and/or (c) and (e) of this Section 8.04 have been complied with. 8.05 Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Agreement, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. Anything in this Article VIII to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 8.06 Repayment to Company. Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent 77 with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. 8.07 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any cash or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application or such cash or U.S. Government Obligations are insufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes when due, then the Company's and the Guarantor's obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the Security Documents shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. ARTICLE IX AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER 9.01 Without Consent of Holders of Notes. Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Agreement, the Company, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may amend or supplement this Agreement, the Note Guarantees, the Security Documents or the Notes without the consent of any Holder of a Note: (a) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; (b) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; (c) to provide for the assumption of the Company's or any Guarantor's obligations to the Holders of the Notes in the case of a merger or acquisition by a successor to the Company or such Guarantor pursuant to Article V hereof; (d) to make any change that does not materially adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder of the Notes; (e) to enter into additional or supplemental Security Documents; or 78 (f) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Agreement under the TIA. Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Agreement and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties, liabilities, privileges, indemnities or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise. 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes. Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may amend or supplement this Agreement (including Section 4.15 hereof), the Note Guarantees, the Security Documents and the Notes with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default (other than a Default in the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on the Notes) under, or compliance with any provision of, this Agreement, the Note Guarantees, the Security Documents or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Without the consent of at least 75% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), no waiver or amendment to this Agreement may make any change in the provisions of Article XII hereof that adversely affects the rights of any Holder of Notes. Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee's or Collateral Agent's own rights, duties, liabilities, privileges, indemnities or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise, in which case each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 79 After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or the Security Documents. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): (a) change the maturity of any Note; (b) reduce the amount, extend the due date or otherwise affect the terms of any scheduled payment of interest on or principal of the Notes; (c) change the date on which any Notes are subject to redemption or otherwise alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes; (d) make any Note payable in money or currency other than that stated in the Notes; (e) modify or change any provision of this Agreement or its related definitions to affect the ranking of the Notes or any Note Guarantee in a manner that adversely affects the rights of any Holder; (f) reduce the percentage of Holders necessary to consent to an amendment or waiver to this Agreement, the Notes or the Security Documents; (g) impair the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of or interest on the Notes; (h) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Agreement, other than as permitted by this Agreement; (i) release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Lien hereunder or under the Security Documents (except in accordance with the provisions hereof or thereof); or (j) make any change in these amendment and waiver provisions. Any amendment to Section 4.15 or the related definitions that could adversely affect the rights of any Holder shall require the consent of the Holders of at least 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. In connection with any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, offer any Holder who consents to such amendment, supplement or waiver, or 80 to all Holders, consideration for such Holder's consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver. 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment or supplement to this Agreement or the Notes shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect. 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect its rights, duties, liabilities, privileges, indemnities or immunities. The Company may not sign an amendment or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.04 hereof, an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized by this Agreement. 81 ARTICLE X NOTE GUARANTEES 10.01 Guarantee. Subject to this Article X, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption, repurchase or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity or enforceability of the Notes or this Agreement, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against 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. 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 covenant that this Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Agreement. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any Custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 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, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI hereof, such 82 obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. Each Guarantor that makes payments under its Note Guarantee is entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the net assets of each Guarantor. 10.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guarantee will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor (including, without limitation, any guarantees under the New Credit Agreement and the Term Loan B Notes permitted under Section 4.09 hereof) and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Note Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Agreement, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law. 10.03 Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee. To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, 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 of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Agreement shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by an Officer. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee. If an Officer whose signature is on this Agreement or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Agreement on behalf of the Guarantors. 10.04 Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05, no Guarantor may consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, whether or not affiliated with such Guarantor, unless: (a) either: 83 (i) such Guarantor will be the surviving or continuing Person; or (ii) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes, by supplemental indenture in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the obligations of such Guarantor under the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor and this Agreement; (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the resulting, surviving or transferee Person as a result of such transaction as having been issued by such Person at the time of such transaction), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and (c) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and its Note Guarantee, if any, complies with this Agreement. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Agreement to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Agreement as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. Except as set forth in Articles IV and V hereof, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this Agreement or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor. 10.05 Releases Following Sale of Assets. In the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all of the Equity Interests of any Guarantor then held by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries, or the Company properly designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Guarantor is released from its Guarantees of Indebtedness of the Company such that such Guarantor would not be required to provide a Guarantee of the Notes under Section 4.18 hereof, then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the Equity Interests of such Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or 84 substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor) will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee; provided, however, that (i) the Net Available Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, to the extent required thereby, and (ii) such sale, other disposition or designation would not result in a Default hereunder. Upon delivery by the Company or a Guarantor to the Trustee of an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee, and subject to Section 11.04 hereof, the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Trustee and at the expense of the Company, shall execute any documents reasonably required to release the assets disposed of in such transaction. Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Agreement as provided in this Article X.

In the event that the Mortgages must be amended, modified or supplemented as a condition to the giver of any of the opinions of counsel required pursuant to this Section 11.02 being able to furnish such opinion, then, subject to Section 9.06 hereof, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver such amendments, modifications or supplements as requested by the giver of the opinion of counsel. 11.03 Possession and Use of Collateral. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company and the Guarantors will have the right to remain in possession of and exercise complete control over the Collateral, except for such of the Collateral as is required to be in the possession of the Collateral Agent in order to perfect the Liens in such Collateral granted by the Security Documents. 11.04 Release and Disposition of Collateral.

All proceeds from the payment of principal due under the Escrowed Restated SAC Notes received and identified as such by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, regardless of whether such proceeds are deposited in the Restated SAC Notes Escrow 87 Account, shall be held as Collateral under the Security Agreement and promptly deposited into the Restated SAC Notes Escrow Account.

(m) If the Collateral Agent has been requested or is otherwise required to take action pursuant to this Indenture or any Security Document, the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in the Collateral Agent by this Indenture or any Security Document unless the Collateral Agent shall have been provided adequate security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by it in complying with such request or direction, including such reasonable advances as may be requested by the Collateral Agent.

ARTICLE XII SUBORDINATION 12.01 Agreement to Subordinate. The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that except as set forth in Section 3.08, the Indebtedness evidenced by, and the payment of principal of and interest on, the Notes is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article XII, to the prior payment in full in cash or Discharge of all Senior Indebtedness, and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the holders of Senior Indebtedness. All provisions of this Article XII shall be subject in all respects to Section 3.08, Section 12.11 and Section 12.12 hereof. 12.02 Liquidation, Dissolution or Bankruptcy. 92 Upon any payment or distribution of assets or securities of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, upon any dissolution or winding up or total or partial liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Company (an "Insolvency Event"), all Senior Indebtedness shall first be paid in full in cash or Discharged, or payment provided for in cash or Cash Equivalents, in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, before any direct or indirect payments or distributions, including, without limitation, by exercise of set-off, of any cash, property or securities on account of principal of or interest on the Notes and to that end the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive (pro rata on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Indebtedness held by them) directly, for application to the payment thereof (to the extent necessary to pay in full in cash or Discharge all Senior Indebtedness after giving effect to any substantially concurrent payment or distribution to or provision for payment to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness), any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders of the Notes would be entitled but for this Article XII, except that the Holders of the Notes may receive and retain (i) equity securities of the Company or debt securities of the Company that are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness (and any debt securities issued in exchange for Senior Indebtedness) to substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Notes are subordinated to the Senior Indebtedness pursuant to this Article XII and (ii) the proceeds of any sale of Collateral regardless of whether such sale occurs in respect of or in connection with an Insolvency Event. The holders of Senior Indebtedness are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders if the Holders or any of them do not file, and there is not otherwise filed on behalf of the Holders, a proper claim or proof of claim in the form required in any such proceeding prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim or claims. 12.03 Default on Senior Indebtedness. The Company may not make any direct or indirect payment to the Trustee or any Holder of principal of or interest on, the Notes, whether pursuant to the terms of the Notes or this Indenture, upon acceleration or otherwise, if at the time of such payment there exists (i) a default in the payment of all or any portion of the Obligations owing in connection with any Senior Indebtedness, or (ii) any other default under any document or instrument governing or evidencing any Senior Indebtedness, and the Trustee has received written notice of such default from an authorized representative of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and, in either case, such default shall not have been cured or waived in writing; provided, however, that if within the period specified in the next sentence with respect to a default referred to in clause (ii) above, the holders of Senior Indebtedness have not declared the Senior Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable (or have declared such Senior Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable and within such period have rescinded such acceleration), then and in that event, payment of principal of and interest on the Notes shall be resumed. With respect to any default under clause (ii) above, the period referred to in the preceding sentence shall commence upon receipt by the Trustee of a written notice or notices of the commencement of such period from such representative, and shall end at the completion of the 180th day after the beginning of such period. Only one such 180 day period may commence within any 360 consecutive days. Upon 93 termination of any such period, the Company shall resume payments on account of the principal of and interest on the Notes, subject to the provisions of this Article XII. 12.04 Obligations of the Trustee and the Holders. (a) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provision prohibiting such payment or distribution, the Trustee or any Holder shall have received any payment on account of the Notes at a time when such payment is prohibited by such provision before the Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash or Discharged, then and in such event, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust by the Trustee or such Holders apart from their other assets and paid over or delivered to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay in full in cash or Discharge the obligations under such Senior Indebtedness in accordance with its terms and after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. (b) Nothing contained in this Article XII will limit the right of the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes to take any action to accelerate the maturity of the Notes; provided, however, that the right of the Holders to receive any payment from the Company of principal of, or interest on, the Notes upon such acceleration shall be subject to the provisions of Section 12.03 hereof. (c) Upon any payment or distribution of assets or securities referred to in this Article XII, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely (i) upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 12.02 are pending; (ii) upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders or (iii) upon the authorized representatives for the respective holders of Senior Indebtedness for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article XII. (d) In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article XII, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article XII, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. 12.05 Subrogation. Upon the payment in full in cash or Discharge of all Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the Notes shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions made to the holders of, or otherwise applied to payment of, the Senior Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of this Article XII and to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or 94 distributions of assets of the Company made on the Senior Indebtedness until the Notes shall be paid in full; and for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to holders of Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which Holders of the Notes would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article XII, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Article XII to holders of Senior Indebtedness by the Holders, shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Notes, be deemed to be payment by Company to or on account of Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Article XII are solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, on the one hand, and the Holders of the Notes, on the other hand. If any payment or distribution to which the Holders would otherwise have been entitled but for the provisions of this Article XII shall have been applied, pursuant to the provisions of this Article XII, to the payment of Senior Indebtedness, then and in each such case, the Holders shall be entitled to receive from the holders of Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding any payments or distributions received by such holders of Senior Indebtedness in excess of the amount sufficient to pay all in full in cash or Discharge all Senior Indebtedness. 12.06 Obligations of Company Unconditional. Nothing contained in this Article XII or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Notes is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company and the Holders, the obligations of the Company, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders the principal of and interest on the Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Notes and creditors of the Company other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent any Holder from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article XII of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company or any Guarantor received upon the exercise of any such remedy. The failure by the Company to make a payment on account of principal of, or interest on, the Notes by reason of any provision of this Article XII shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default hereunder. 12.07 Notice by the Company. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee and the Paying Agent of any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment on or in respect of the Notes, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the subordination of the Notes to the Senior Indebtedness provided in this Article XII. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article XII or any other provision of this Indenture or the Notes, neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or in respect of the Notes, unless and until the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or the respective authorized representatives for the respective holders of Senior Indebtedness, and, prior to the 95 receipt of any such written notice, subject to the provisions of this Article XII, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall be entitled in all respects to assume no such facts exist. Nothing contained in this Section 12.07 shall limit the right of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to recover payments as contemplated by this Article XII. This Section 12.07 shall not apply to any amount payable to the Trustee under Section 3.08. 12.08 Right as Holder of Senior Indebtedness. The Trustee or any Holder in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article XII with respect to any Senior Indebtedness which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee or such Holder of any of its rights as such holder. 12.09 Reinstatement. The provisions of this Article XII shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, and the Senior Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be paid in full or Discharged, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Senior Indebtedness is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the holder thereof upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. This Section 12.09 shall survive the satisfaction and Discharge or termination of this Agreement. 12.10 Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. Notwithstanding Section 12.03, the Trustee or Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any such payments, unless not less than two Business Days prior to the date of such payment, a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee written notice of facts that would cause the payment of any principal of and interest on the Notes to violate this Article XII. The Company, the Registrar or co-registrar, the Paying Agent, an authorized representative or a holder of Senior Indebtedness may give the notice; provided, however, that, if an issuer of Senior Indebtedness has an authorized representative, only such representative may give the notice. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Indebtedness with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. The Registrar and co-registrar and the Paying Agent may do the same with like rights. 12.11 Trust Moneys Not Subordinated. Notwithstanding anything contained hereto the contrary, payments to the Holders of the Notes from money or the proceeds of U.S. Government Obligations held in trust under Article VIII by the Trustee for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Senior Indebtedness or subject to the terms and provisions of this Article XII, and none of the Holders or the Trustee shall be obligated to pay over any such amounts to any holder of Senior Indebtedness provided, however, that this Section shall not apply if at such time as such money or proceeds were delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Article XIII, such money or proceeds were not permitted to be delivered pursuant to Section 12.03. 96 12.12 No Subordination with respect to Collateral. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither (i) payments to the Holders of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof nor (ii) payments to the Holders of the Notes in respect of the exercise of any rights with respect to the Collateral under the Security Documents nor (iii) payments to the Holders of the Notes that are otherwise in respect of the Collateral shall be subordinated to the prior payment of any Senior Indebtedness or subject to the terms and provisions of this Article XII, and none of the Holders or the Trustee shall be obligated to pay over any such amounts to any holder of Senior Indebtedness. In addition, nothing contained herein shall in any way restrict or prohibit the Holders of the Notes, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent from taking any action to enforce the rights and remedies provided to the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral under the Security Documents or applicable law. 12.13 Trustee to Effectuate Subordination. Each Holder of a Note by the Holder's acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on the Holder's behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination between the Holders and the holders of Senior Indebtedness as provided in this Article XII, and appoints the Trustee to act as the Holder's attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. 12.14 Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders or the Company or any other Person, money or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article XII or otherwise, except to the extent such mistake is as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee. 12.15 Reliance by Holders of Senior Indebtedness on Subordination Provisions. Each Holder by accepting a Note acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Indebtedness, whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Notes, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Indebtedness and such holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Indebtedness. 12.16 Trustee's Rights. The Trustee's rights to compensation, reimbursement of expenses and indemnification under Sections 6.10 and 7.07 are not subordinated. ARTICLE XIII SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 97 13.01 Satisfaction and Discharge. This Agreement shall be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Notes which shall survive until all Notes have been canceled) as to all outstanding Notes issued hereunder, when either: (a) all the Notes that have been authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from this trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or (b) (i) all Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation otherwise have become due and payable or have been called for redemption pursuant to Section 3.07 or Section 3.08 hereof, and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee trust funds in trust in an amount of money sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness (including all principal and accrued interest) on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, (ii) the Company has paid all sums payable by it under this Agreement and the Security Documents, (iii) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the date of redemption, as the case may be, and (iv) the Holders have a valid, perfected, exclusive security interest in this trust. In addition, the Company shall deliver an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. 13.02 Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 13.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Agreement, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 13.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company's and any Guarantor's obligations under this Agreement and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred 98 pursuant to Section 13.01; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class, and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class. Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes or to alter the provisions of Article II of the Indenture (including the related A-4 definitions) in a manner that does not materially adversely affect any Holder; to provide for the assumption of the Company's obligations to the Holders of the Notes in the case of a merger or acquisition by a successor to the Company pursuant to Article V of the Indenture; to release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or the Indenture (to the extent permitted by the Indenture); to make any change that would not materially adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder of the Notes; or to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Events of Default include: (i) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes; (ii) default in payment when due of principal of the Notes when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon redemption, upon purchase, upon acceleration or otherwise; (iii) failure by the Company to comply with any of its agreements or covenants described under Section 3.08, 4.07, 4.09, 4.10, 4.15 or 5.01 of the Indenture; (iv) failure by the Company for 30 days after notice to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class to comply with certain other agreements in the Indenture and the Security Documents; (v) default under certain other agreements relating to an aggregate amount of Indebtedness of the Company equal to or exceeding $10 million which default results in, among other things, the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity; (vi) certain final judgments for the payment of money in excess of $10 million in the aggregate (net of amounts covered by insurance or bonded) that remain undischarged for a period of 60 days; (vii) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries; (viii) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Note Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect or is declared null and void and unenforceable or is found to be invalid or any Guarantor denies its liability under its Note Guarantee (other than by reason of release of a Guarantor from its Note Guarantee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and such Note Guarantee); and (ix) events of default under the documents securing the payment of the Notes. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default (except a Default relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default in the payment of interest on, premium or the principal of, the Notes. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required upon becoming aware of any Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its A-5 Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes and the Guarantees. AUTHENTICATION. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. ABBREVIATIONS.

The obligations of the Guarantors to the Holders of Notes and to the Trustee pursuant to the Note Guarantee and the Indenture are expressly set forth in Article X of the Indenture and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for the precise terms of the Note Guarantee. Each Holder of a Note, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee, on behalf of such Holder, to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in the Indenture and (c) appoints the Trustee attorney-in-fact of such Holder for such purpose; provided, however, that the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note Guarantee shall cease to be so subordinated and subject in right of payment upon any defeasance of this Note in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. [Guarantors' Signature Blocks to be Provided] B-1 EXHIBIT C FORM OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE TO BE DELIVERED BY SUBSEQUENT GUARANTORS Supplemental Indenture (this "Supplemental Indenture"), dated as of ________________, among __________________ (the "Guaranteeing Subsidiary"), a subsidiary of AMERCO (or its permitted successor), a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), the Company, the other Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture referred to herein) and______________________________, as trustee under the indenture referred to below (the "Trustee"). W I T N E S S E T H: WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the "Indenture"), dated as of________________, 2004 providing for the issuance of an aggregate principal amount of up to $_______________ of ____% Senior Subordinated Secured Notes due 2011 (the "Notes"); WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company's Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the "Note Guarantee"); and WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 4.18 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture. NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows: CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees as follows: (a) Along with all Guarantors named in the Indenture, to jointly and severally guarantee to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns that: (i) the principal of and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other C-1 obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee under the Indenture and the Notes will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. (b) The obligations hereunder shall be full and unconditional, irrespective of the validity or enforceability of the Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions 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. (c) The following is hereby waived: 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. (d) This Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and the Indenture, and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary accepts all obligations of a Guarantor under the Indenture. (e) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors, or any Custodian, Trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. (f) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary 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. (g) As between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI of the Indenture for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. (h) 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 Guarantee. C-2 (i) Pursuant to Section 10.02 of the Indenture, after giving effect to any maximum amount and any other contingent and fixed liabilities that are relevant under any applicable Bankruptcy or fraudulent conveyance 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 Article X of the Indenture, this Note Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount permissible such that the obligations of such Guarantor under this Note Guarantee will not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. EXECUTION AND DELIVERY. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that this Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee. GUARANTEEING SUBSIDIARY MAY CONSOLIDATE, ETC. ON CERTAIN TERMS. (j) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary may not consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another corporation, Person or entity whether or not affiliated with such Guarantor unless: (i) subject to Sections 10.04 and 10.05 of the Indenture, the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than a Guarantor or the Company) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, under the Notes, the Indenture and the Note Guarantee on the terms set forth herein or therein; and (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists. (k) In case of any such consolidation or merger and upon the assumption by the successor corporation, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor corporation thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. (l) Except as set forth in Articles IV and V and Section 10.04 of Article X of the Indenture, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in the Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor. C-3 RELEASES. (m) In the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all of the Equity Interests of any Guarantor then held by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries, or the Company properly designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Guarantor is released from its Guarantees of Indebtedness of the Company such that such Guarantor would not be required to provide a Guarantee of the Notes under Section 4.18 of the Indenture, then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the Equity Interests of such Guarantor) or the Person acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor) will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee; provided, however, that the Net Available Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture, to the extent required thereby. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee. (n) Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in Article X of the Indenture. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or agent of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Notes, any Note Guarantees, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes and the Note Guarantees. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission that such a waiver is against public policy.
