ARTICLE 1
DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION

Section 1.01.        Definitions.

“Acquired Debt” means, with respect to any specified Person:

(1)           Indebtedness of any other Person existing at the time such other Person was merged with or into or became a Subsidiary of such specified Person, whether or not such Indebtedness is incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such other Person merging with or into, or becoming a Subsidiary of, such specified Person, but excluding Indebtedness which is extinguished, retired or repaid in connection with such Person merging with or into or becoming a Subsidiary of such specified Person; and

(2)           Indebtedness secured by a Lien encumbering any asset acquired by such specified Person.

“Affiliate” of any specified Person means any other Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person.  For purposes of this definition, “control,” as used with respect to any Person, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by agreement or otherwise; provided, however, that beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the Voting Stock of a Person will be deemed to be control by the other Person; and further, that any third Person which also beneficially owns 10% or more of the Voting Stock of a specified Person shall not be deemed to be an Affiliate of either the specified Person or the other Person merely because of such common ownership in such specified Person.  For purposes of this definition, the terms “controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with” have correlative meanings.

“Applicable Law,” except as the context may otherwise require, means all applicable laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, judgments, decrees, injunctions, writs and orders of any court or governmental or congressional agency or authority and rules, regulations, orders, licenses and permits of any United States federal, state, municipal, regional, or other governmental body, instrumentality, agency or authority.

“Asset Sale” means:

(1)           the sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of any properties or assets (including by way of a Sale and Leaseback Transaction); provided, however, that the disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole will be governed by the provisions of

Section 4.15 and/or the provisions of Section 5.01 and not by the provisions of Section 4.10; and

(2)           the issuance of Equity Interests in any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries or the sale of Equity Interests in any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding the preceding, the following items will not be deemed to be Asset Sales:

(1)           any single transaction or series of related transactions that involves properties or assets having a fair market value of less than $5.0 million;

(2)           a transfer of assets between or among any of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries,

(3)           an issuance or sale of Equity Interests by a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or to another Restricted Subsidiary;

(4)           the sale, lease or other disposition of equipment, inventory, accounts receivable or other properties or assets in the ordinary course of business;

“Asset Swap” means any substantially contemporaneous (and in any event occurring within 360 days of each other) purchase and sale or exchange of any assets or properties used or useful in a Permitted Business between the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and another Person; provided that any cash received must be applied in accordance with Section 4.10 as if the Asset Swap were an Asset Sale.

“Attributable Debt” in respect of a Sale and Leaseback Transaction means, at the time of determination, the present value of the obligation of the lessee for net rental payments during the remaining term of the lease included in such Sale and Leaseback Transaction including any period for which such lease has been extended or may, at the option of the lessor, be extended.

2

Such present value shall be calculated using a discount rate equal to the rate of interest implicit in such transaction, determined in accordance with GAAP.  As used in the preceding sentence, the “net rental payments” under any lease for any such period shall mean the sum of rental and other payments required to be paid with respect to such period by the lessee thereunder, excluding any amounts required to be paid by such lessee on account of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates or similar charges.  In the case of any lease that is terminable by the lessee upon payment of penalty, such net rental payment shall also include the amount of such penalty, but no rent shall be considered as required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated.

“Available Cash” has the meaning assigned to such term in the Partnership Agreement, as in effect on the date of this Indenture.

(3)           the Fixed Charges attributable to discontinued operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and operations or businesses disposed of prior to the Calculation Date, will be excluded, but only to the extent that the obligations giving rise to such Fixed Charges will not be obligations of the specified Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries following the Calculation Date;

(1)           the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the amount of each then remaining installment, sinking fund, serial maturity or other required payments of principal, including payment at final maturity, in respect of the Indebtedness, by (b) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth) that will elapse between such date and the making of such payment; by

REDEMPTION

Section 3.01.        Notices to Holders.

If the Issuers elect to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07, they shall furnish to the Holders, at least five Business Days before the date of giving notice of the redemption pursuant to Section 3.03, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (a) the clause of Section 3.07 pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (b) the redemption date, (c) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and (d) the redemption price or, if the redemption price is not then determinable, the manner in which it is to be determined.

Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000, 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 $2,000 or a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed.  Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date the Issuers shall prepare and 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 registered address.

The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:

(a)           the redemption date;

(b)           the redemption price or, if the redemption price is not then determinable, the manner in which it is to be determined;

(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 a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued in the name of the Holder upon cancellation of the original Note;

(2)           from (and including) February 14, 2016 to (and excluding) February 14, 2017, 104% of the principal amount thereof; and

(3)           from (and including) February 14, 2017, 100% of the principal amount thereof,

in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date.

Section 3.09.        Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds.

In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10, the Company shall be required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes (an “Asset Sale Offer”), it shall follow the procedures specified below.

30

The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement and no longer, except to the extent that a longer period is required by Applicable Law (the “Offer Period”).  No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Settlement Date”), the Company shall purchase and pay for the principal amount of Notes required to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.10 (the “Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn), all Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) in response to the Asset Sale Offer.  Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the manner prescribed in the Notes.

Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company shall send, by first class mail, a notice to each of the Holders.  The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.  The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders.  The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall state:

(a)           that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.10 and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer shall remain open, including the time and date the Asset Sale Offer will terminate (the “Termination Date”);

(b)           the Offer Amount and the purchase price;

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

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

(e)           that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may only elect to have all of such Note purchased and may not elect to have only a portion of such Note purchased;

(f)            that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase Form” on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice, before the Termination Date;

(g)           that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company receives, prior to the Termination Date, a facsimile or other electronic transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased;

(h)           that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders, and Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by holders or lenders, collectively, exceeds the amount the Company is required to repurchase, the Company shall select the Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of tendered Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness (with such adjustments

31

as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000, shall be purchased); and

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

Promptly after the Termination Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment Notes or portions thereof tendered, and accompanied by a completed and duly executed “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase Form” in the form attached to such Notes, pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer in the aggregate principal amount required by Section 4.10, and prior to the Settlement Date it shall deliver to the Holders an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09 and Section 4.10.  Prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Settlement Date, the Company shall send via wire transfer to each tendering Holder (to the account specified in writing by such Holder) an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company shall issue a new Note and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered.  The Company shall notify the Holders of the results of the Asset Sale Offer on or before the Settlement Date.

Section 3.10.        Qualified High Yield Bond Offering.

(a)           If, on or prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the Issuers intend to incur Indebtedness under any high yield note or bond offering of the Issuers pursuant to Rule 144A (the “HY Bonds”), the Issuers shall provide, as soon as practicable but no later than 15 days prior to the expected date of commencement of the offering of the HY Bonds, the Holders written notice thereof, which written notice shall attach a copy of the preliminary offering memorandum (including the description of notes) for the HY Bonds if then available, with such copy to be furnished as soon practicable thereafter if not then available and with subsequent drafts or proofs to be furnished when they become available.  If (x) the aggregate principal amount of HY Bonds will exceed $250,000,000 and (y) the terms specified in Sections 3.08, 3.09 and 9.02 and Articles 4, 5, 6 and 10 and the definitions used therein are substantially the same in the indenture governing the HY Bonds as they are in this Indenture (as determined in the sole discretion of the Required Holders), subject to such differences as are conventional in high-yield debt indentures (including making provision for a trustee, paying agent and registrar, providing for defeasance and discharge and qualifying the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended), then the Issuers shall have the right to either:

(1)           require each Holder to exchange 100% of its Notes for an amount of the HY Bonds determined pursuant to Section 3.10(c); or

(2)           require each Holder to exchange 71.4% of its Notes for an amount of the HY Bonds determined pursuant to Section 3.10(c) and repurchase at par plus accrued interest (without payment of the Make Whole Premium or any other premium) such Holder’s remaining Notes,

32

by so indicating in the written notice provided to the Holders pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 3.10(a).  If the Issuers elect not to exercise such right, they shall so indicate in such written notice.  Such notice of intent to require an exchange shall be binding on and irrevocable by the Issuers (subject, however, to the satisfaction of the conditions to the exchange set forth in the Exchange Agreement).

(b)           If the Issuers elect not to exercise their rights pursuant to Section 3.10(a)(1) or (2), each Holder may elect to exchange up to 100% of its Notes for an amount of the HY Bonds determined pursuant to Section 3.10(c).  To make such election, a Holder shall give the Issuers written notice of its intent to exchange, which notice of intent to exchange shall (i) be given no later than five days prior to the expected date of commencement of the offering of the HY Bonds, (ii) set forth the amount of Notes that the Holder wishes to exchange and (iii) be binding on and irrevocable by such Holder (subject, however, to the satisfaction of the conditions to the exchange set forth in the Exchange Agreement).

(c)           Promptly after the HY Bonds are priced, the Issuer shall provide a copy of the pricing term sheet to each Holder exchanging Notes for HY Bonds and the Issuers’ determination (including reasonably detailed calculations) of the principal amount of the HY Bonds that are to be issued to each such Holder in exchange for its Notes, as determined pursuant to this Section 3.10(c), which calculation shall be confirmed by each such Holder and memorialized in the Exchange Agreement, which shall be entered into by the Issuers with each exchanging Holder on the date a purchase agreement is entered into with respect to the HY Bonds.  For each Holder exchanging Notes for the HY Bonds pursuant to this Section 3.10, the principal amount of such HY Bonds shall be equal to (a)(i) the principal amount of such Notes subject to the exchange plus (ii) the HY Bond Make Whole Amount in respect of such Notes divided by (b) the issue price of the HY Bonds (expressed as a percentage of par), rounded down to the nearest whole multiple of $1,000 (with any excess not included in such figure as a result of such rounding down being paid in cash by the Issuers to the Holders at the time of the exchange).  For the avoidance of doubt, interest accrued on Notes up to and including the date on which the exchange of such Notes for the HY Bonds is consummated shall be paid in cash by the Issuers at the time of such exchange.

(d)           The parties to this Indenture recognize that the timing of commencement of any offering of the HY Bonds is not perfectly predictable and may vary from expectations. If the offering of the HY Bonds does not commence on the expected date, then the parties hereto shall work together to make such adjustments in the timing of notices as they mutually conclude are reasonable in the circumstances.  If no HY Bonds are issued, for whatever reason, no party shall have any liability to any other party under this Section 3.10.

(1)           declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of the Company’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or indirect holders of the Company’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests in their capacity as such (other than dividends or distributions payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company or payable to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company);

(4)           make any Restricted Investment (all such payments and other actions set forth in these clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”),

unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, no Default (except a Reporting Default) or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment and either:

(1)           if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (the “Trailing Four Quarters”) is not less than 1.75 to 1.0, such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (6) and (7) of the next succeeding paragraph) with respect to the quarter for which such Restricted Payment is made, is less than the sum, without duplication, of:

36

(a)           Available Cash from Distributable Cash Flow as of the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, plus

(b)           100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company (including the fair market value of any Permitted Business or long-term assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business to the extent acquired in consideration of Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock)) after the date of this Indenture as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Stock or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of the Company that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other than Equity Interests (or Disqualified Stock or debt securities) sold to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company), plus

(e)           the aggregate amount of Incremental Funds previously expended pursuant to this clause (1) and clause (2) below; or

(2)           if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Trailing Four Quarters is less than 1.75 to 1.0, such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (6) and (7) of the next succeeding paragraph) with respect to the quarter for which such Restricted Payment is made (such Restricted Payments for purposes of this clause (2) meaning only distributions on the Company’s common units, subordinated units, or incentive distribution rights, plus the related distribution to the General Partner), is less than the sum, without duplication, of:

(b)           Incremental Funds to the extent not previously expended pursuant to this clause (2) or clause (1) above.

37

So long as no Default (except a Reporting Default) or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby (except with respect to clause (1) below under which the payment of a distribution or dividend is permitted), the preceding provisions will not prohibit:

(1)           the payment of any dividend or distribution within 60 days after the date of its declaration, if at the date of declaration the payment would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture;

(2)           the purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of any subordinated Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor or of any Equity Interests of the Company in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent (a) contribution (other than from a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) to the equity capital of the Company or (b) sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) of, Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock), with a sale being deemed substantially concurrent if such purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement occurs not more than 120 days after such sale; provided, however, that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement will be excluded (or deducted, if included) from the calculation of Available Cash from Distributable Cash and Incremental Funds;

(3)           the purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of subordinated Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor with the net cash proceeds from an incurrence of, or in exchange for, Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;

(4)           the payment of any dividend or distribution by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to the holders of its Equity Interests on a pro rata basis;

(5)           the purchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to any director or employee equity subscription agreement or equity option agreement or other employee benefit plan or to satisfy obligations under any Equity Interests appreciation rights or option plan or similar arrangement, including the Repurchase Program of Global GP LLC; provided, however, that the aggregate price paid for all such purchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests may not exceed $5.0 million in any calendar year, with any portion of such $5.0 million amount that is unused in any calendar year to be carried forward to successive calendar years and added to such amount;

(6)           the purchase, repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon the exercise of unit options, warrants, incentives, rights to acquire Equity Interests or other convertible securities if such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise or exchange price thereof, and any purchase, repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of Equity Interests made in lieu of withholding Taxes in connection with any exercise or exchange of unit options, warrants, incentives or rights to acquire Equity Interests; or

38

(7)           any purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of any subordinated Indebtedness (i) at a purchase price not greater than 101% of the principal amount of such subordinated Indebtedness plus accrued interest in accordance with provisions similar to Section 4.15 or (ii) at a purchase price not greater than 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest in accordance with provisions similar to Section 4.10; provided that, prior to or simultaneously with such purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value, the Company shall have complied with Section 4.15 or Section 4.10, as the case may be, and repurchased all Notes validly tendered and accepted for payment in connection with the Change of Control Offer or Asset Sale Offer, as the case may be.

The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the fair market value on the date of the Restricted Investment proposed to be made or the securities or other assets proposed to be issued or transferred by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment, except that the fair market value of any non-cash dividend made within 60 days after the date of declaration shall be determined as of such date of declaration.  The fair market value of any Restricted Investment, assets or securities that are required to be valued by this covenant will be determined, in the case of amounts under $20.0 million, by an officer of the General Partner and, in the case of amounts of $20.0 million or more, by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution.  Not later than the date of making any Restricted Payment (excluding any Restricted Payment described in the preceding clause (2), (3), (4), (5), (6) or (7)) the Company will deliver to the Holders an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth the basis upon which the calculations required by this Section 4.07 were computed.

Section 4.08.        Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries.

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(1)           pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or pay any Indebtedness or other obligations owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(2)           make loans or advances to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (it being understood that the subordination of loans or advances made to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness incurred by the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary will not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances); or

(3)           transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

39

However, the preceding restrictions of this Section 4.08 will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(1)           agreements as in effect on the date of this Indenture and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements or the Indebtedness to which they relate, provided that the amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend, distribution and other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the date of this Indenture;

(2)           this Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees;

(3)           Applicable Law;

(4)           any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired, provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be incurred;

(5)           customary non-assignment provisions in Hydrocarbon purchase and sale or exchange agreements or similar operational agreements or in licenses, easements or leases, in each case entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices;

(6)           Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions on that property of the nature described in clause (3) of the preceding paragraph;

(7)           any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition;

(8)           Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;

(9)           Liens securing Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred under the provisions of Section 4.12 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

40

(10)         provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(11)         any agreement or instrument relating to any property or assets acquired after the date of this Indenture, so long as such encumbrance or restriction relates only to the property or assets so acquired and is not and was not created in anticipation of such acquisitions;

(12)         restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(13)         the issuance of preferred securities by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or the payment of dividends thereon in accordance with the terms thereof, provided that issuance of such preferred securities is permitted pursuant to Section 4.09 and the terms of such preferred securities do not expressly restrict the ability of such Restricted Subsidiary to pay dividends or make any other distribution on its Capital Stock (other than requirements to pay dividends or liquidation preferences on such preferred securities prior to paying any dividends or making any other distributions on such other Capital Stock);

(14)         with respect to any Foreign Subsidiary, any encumbrance or restriction contained in the terms of any Indebtedness or any agreement pursuant to which such Indebtedness was incurred if either (a) the encumbrance or restriction applies only in the event of a payment default or a default with respect to a financial covenant in such Indebtedness or agreement or (b) the Company determines that any such encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect the Company’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the Notes, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive; and

(15)         any other agreement governing Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor that is permitted to be incurred by Section 4.09; provided, however, that such encumbrances or restrictions are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in this Indenture or the Credit Agreement as it exists on the date of this Indenture.

Section 4.09.        Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, issue any Disqualified Stock, and the Company will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than a Guarantor) to issue any preferred securities; provided, however, that the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock if, for the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately

41

preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock is issued, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or Disqualified Stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

The first paragraph of this Section 4.09 will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”) or the issuance of any preferred securities described in clause (11) below:

(1)           the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness under one or more Credit Facilities, provided that, after giving effect to any such incurrence, the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness incurred under this clause (1) (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Company and its Subsidiaries thereunder) and then outstanding does not exceed the greater of (a) $1.615 billion and (b) the sum of the Company’s Borrowing Base at the time of determination and $335.0 million;

(2)           the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness;

(3)           the incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the Notes issued and sold on the Closing Date and the related Subsidiary Guarantees issued on the date of this Indenture;

(4)           the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to extend, refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4), provided that, after giving effect to any such incurrence, the principal amount of all Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (4) and then outstanding does not exceed the greater of (a) $30.0 million or (b) 2.5% of the Company’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets at such time;

(5)           the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to, extend, refinance, renew, replace, defease or refund Indebtedness that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under the first paragraph of this Section 4.09 or clause (2) or (3) of this paragraph or this clause (5);

42

(6)           the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:

(a)           if the Company is the obligor on such Indebtedness and a Guarantor is not the obligee, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Notes, or if a Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and neither the Company nor another Guarantor is the obligee, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Guarantor; and

(b)           (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is neither the Company nor a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (6);

(7)           the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Contracts;

(8)           the guarantee by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.09;

(9)           the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations relating to net Hydrocarbon balancing positions arising in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice;

(10)         the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of bid, performance, surety and similar bonds issued for the account of the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, including guarantees and obligations of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to letters of credit supporting such obligations (in each case other than an obligation for money borrowed);

(11)         the issuance by any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to the Company or to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any preferred securities; provided, however, that:

(a)           any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such preferred securities being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; and

(b)           any sale or other transfer of any such preferred securities to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company

43

shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such preferred securities by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this clause (11);

(12)         the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Acquired Debt in connection with a merger or consolidation meeting either one of the financial tests set forth in clause (d) of Section 5.01; and

(13)         the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness, provided that, after giving effect to any such incurrence, the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness incurred under this clause (13) and then outstanding does not exceed the greater of (a) $37.5 million or (b) 3.0% of the Company’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (13) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 4.09, the Company will be permitted to classify (or later classify or reclassify in whole or in part in its sole discretion) such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09.  Any Indebtedness under Credit Agreement on the date of this Indenture (after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of the offering of the Initial Notes) shall be considered incurred under the first paragraph of this Section 4.09.

The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09, provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of the Company as accrued.  Further, the accounting reclassification of any obligation of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as Indebtedness will not be deemed an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.09.

Section 4.10.        Limitation on Asset Sales.

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(1)           the Company (or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of;

(2)           the fair market value is determined by (a) an executive officer of the General Partner if the value is less than $20.0 million and evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Holders, or (b) the Company’s Board of Directors if the value is $20.0 million or more and evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Holders; and

44

(3)           at least 75% of the aggregate consideration received by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Asset Sale and all other Asset Sales since the date of this Indenture is in the form of cash.  For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

(a)           any liabilities, as shown on the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet, of the Company or such Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a novation agreement that releases the Company or such Subsidiary from further liability; and

(b)           any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are, within 90 days after the Asset Sale, converted by the Company or such Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion.

Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may apply those Net Proceeds at its option to any combination of the following:

(I)            to repay, redeem, repurchase or otherwise retire Senior Debt, including Notes;

(II)          to acquire all or substantially all of the properties or assets of a Person primarily engaged in a Permitted Business;

(III)        to acquire a majority of the Voting Stock of a Person primarily engaged a Permitted Business;

(IV)         to make capital expenditures; or

(V)          to acquire other long-term assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business.

Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.  Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraph will constitute “Excess Proceeds.”

On the 361st day after the Asset Sale (or, at the Company’s option, any earlier date), if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds then exceeds $20.0 million, the Company will make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders, and to all holders of Pari Passu Indebtedness then outstanding, to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds.  The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Settlement Date, and will be payable in cash.  If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose

45

not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture.  If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Issuers will select the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis as set forth in Section 3.09(h).  Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under such provisions by virtue of such conflict.

Section 4.11.        Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or 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 or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:

(1)           the 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 by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

(2)           the Company delivers to the Holders, with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $20.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction or series of Affiliate Transactions complies with this Section 4.11 and that such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company.

The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph of this Section 4.11:

(1)           any employment, equity award, equity option or equity appreciation agreement or plan entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business;

(2)           transactions between or among any of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(3)           transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) that is an Affiliate of the Company solely because the Company owns an Equity Interest in such Person;

(4)           transactions effected in accordance with the terms of agreements that are identified in Schedule I, in each case as such agreements are in effect on the date of this

46

Indenture, and any amendment or replacement of any of such agreements so long as such amendment or replacement agreement is no less advantageous to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in any material respect than the agreement so amended or replaced;

(5)                                 customary compensation, indemnification and other benefits made available to officers, directors or employees of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, including reimbursement or advancement of out-of-pocket expenses and provisions of officers’ and directors’ liability insurance;

(6)                                 sales of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) to, or receipt of capital contributions from, Affiliates of the Company;

(7)                                 Permitted Investments or Restricted Payments that are permitted by Section 4.07;

(8)                                 payments to the General Partner with respect to reimbursement for expenses in accordance with the Partnership Agreement as in effect on the date of this Indenture and as it may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, provided that any such amendment, modification or supplement relating to reimbursement of the General Partner for expenses is not less favorable to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in any material respect than the relevant provision of the Partnership Agreement prior to such amendment, modification or supplement; and

(9)                                 in the case of contracts for the purchase or sale of refined petroleum products or other Hydrocarbons or activities or services reasonably related thereto, or other operational contracts, any such contracts that are (a) entered into in the ordinary course of business on terms substantially similar to those contained in similar contracts entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with third parties or (b) otherwise on terms not materially less favorable to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries than those that would be available in a transaction with an unrelated third party.

Section 4.12.                         Limitation on Liens.

The Company will not and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) securing Indebtedness or Attributable Debt upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, unless the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, is secured on an equal and ratable basis with (or on a senior basis to, in the case of obligations subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantee, as the case may be) the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien.

Section 4.13.                         Additional Subsidiary Guarantees.

If, after the date of this Indenture, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is not already a Guarantor guarantees any other Indebtedness of either of the Issuers or any Guarantor,

47

or any Domestic Subsidiary, if not then a Guarantor, incurs any Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Facility of the Company, then in either case that Subsidiary will become a Guarantor by executing a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “Supplemental Indenture”) and delivering it to the Holders within 20 Business Days of the date on which it guaranteed or incurred such Indebtedness, as the case may be.  Any Subsidiary Guarantee will be released pursuant to Section 10.03.

Section 4.14.                         Corporate Existence.

Except as otherwise permitted pursuant to the terms hereof (including consolidation and merger permitted by Section 5.01), the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its partnership existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve the existence of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (except Finance Corp.) if the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

Section 4.15.                         Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control.

(a)                                 Within 30 days following the occurrence of a Change of Control, unless the Issuers have previously or concurrently exercised their right to redeem all of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07, the Company shall make a cash tender offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price (the “Change of Control Payment”) in cash equal to at least 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of settlement (the “Change of Control Settlement Date”).  Not later than 30 days following a Change of Control, unless the Issuers have previously or concurrently exercised their right to redeem all of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07, the Company shall mail a notice of the Change of Control Offer to each Holder describing the transaction that constitutes the Change of Control and stating:

(1)                                 that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.15 and that all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn will be accepted for payment;

(2)                                 the purchase price and the Change of Control Settlement Date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days but no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Purchase Date”);

(3)                                 that the Change of Control Offer will expire as of the time specified in such notice and that the Company shall pay the Change of Control Purchase Price for all Notes accepted for purchase promptly thereafter on the Change of Control Settlement Date;

(4)                                 that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;

48

(5)                                 that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Settlement Date;

(6)                                 that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, properly endorsed for transfer, together with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase Form” on the reverse of the Notes completed and such customary documents as the Company may reasonably request, to the Company at the address specified in the notice prior to the termination of the Change of Control Offer;

(7)                                 that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company receives, prior to the termination of the Change of Control Offer, a facsimile or other electronic transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have the Notes purchased; and

(8)                                 that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000.

To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.15, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under such provisions by virtue of such conflict.

(b)                                 On or before the Change of Control Settlement Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof (in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) properly tendered (and not validly withdrawn), and accompanied by a completed and duly executed “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase Form” in the form attached to such Notes, in response to the Change of Control Offer.  Promptly thereafter on the Change of Control Settlement Date the Company shall:

(1)                                 pay to each Holder by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of the Notes or portions thereof so tendered (and not validly withdrawn) by such Holder; and

(2)                                 deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holders the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.

On the Change of Control Settlement Date, the Company will mail to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of Notes surrendered, if any, in accordance with Section 7.02.  The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Purchase Date.

49

(c)                                  The Change of Control provisions of this Section 4.15 shall be applicable whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable.

(d)                                 Prior to complying with any of the provisions of this Section 4.15, but in any event no later than the Change of Control Settlement Date, the Company or any Guarantor must either repay all of its other outstanding Senior Debt or obtain the requisite consents, if any, under all agreements governing such Senior Debt to permit the repurchase of Notes required by this Section 4.15.

(e)                                  The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.15 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, a Change of Control Offer by the Company or a third party may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

(f)                                   In the event that Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes accept a Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company as described above, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuers will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice as provided in Section 3.03, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to the Change of Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

Section 4.16.                         No Inducements.

The Company will not, and the Company will not permit any of its Subsidiaries, either directly or indirectly, to pay any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Beneficial Owner or Holder of any Notes for or as an inducement to any consent to any waiver, amendment or supplement of any terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, unless such consideration is offered to be paid (or agreed to be paid) to all Beneficial Owners and Holders of the Notes which so consent in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent.

Section 4.17.                         Permitted Business Activities.

The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any business other than a Permitted Business, except to such extent as would not be material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Finance Corp. shall not incur Indebtedness unless (a) the Company is a co-obligor or guarantor of such Indebtedness or (b) the net proceeds of such Indebtedness are loaned to the Company, used to acquire outstanding debt securities issued by the Company or used to repay

50

Indebtedness of the Company as permitted under Section 4.09.  Finance Corp. shall not engage in any business not related directly or indirectly to obtaining money or arranging financing for the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries.

Section 4.18.                         Sale and Leaseback Transactions.

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction; provided, however, that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into a Sale and Leaseback Transaction if:

(1)                                 the Company or that Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, could have (a) incurred Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction under the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test in the first paragraph of Section 4.09 and (b) incurred a Lien to secure such Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.12;

(2)                                 the gross cash proceeds of that Sale and Leaseback Transaction are at least equal to the fair market value, as determined in accordance with the definition of that term in Section 1.01 and set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Holders, of the property that is the subject of that Sale and Leaseback Transaction; and

(3)                                 the transfer of assets in that Sale and Leaseback Transaction is permitted by, and the Company applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with, Section 4.10.

Section 4.19.                         Covenant Suspension.

If at any time (a) the rating assigned to the Notes by both S&P and Moody’s is an Investment Grade Rating, (b) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture and (c) the Issuers have delivered to the Holders an Officers’ Certificate certifying to the foregoing provisions of this sentence, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will no longer be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.09, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11 and 4.17, clauses (1)(a) and (3) of Section 4.18, and clause (d) of Section 5.01 (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”); provided, however, that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will remain subject to all of the other provisions of this Indenture.  After the foregoing covenants have been suspended, the Company may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries. Thereafter, if either S&P or Moody’s withdraws its ratings or downgrades the ratings assigned to the Notes below the Investment Grade Rating so that the Notes do not have an Investment Grade Rating from both S&P and Moody’s, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants, subject to the terms, conditions and obligations set forth herein (each such date of reinstatement being the “Reinstatement Date”), and the Issuers shall give written notice to the Holders of any such withdrawal or downgrade. Compliance with the Suspended Covenants with respect to Restricted Payments made after the Reinstatement Date will be calculated in accordance with the terms of Section 4.07 as though such covenants had been in effect during the period since the Closing Date.

51

Section 4.20.                         Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default.  If a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary properly designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be either an Investment made as of the time of the designation that will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of Section 4.07 or represent Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company.  That designation shall only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Subsidiary so designated otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.09, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period, and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

ARTICLE 5
SUCCESSORS

Section 5.01.                         Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets.

Neither of the Issuers may, directly or indirectly, (1) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not such Issuer is the survivor), or (2) sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions to another Person, unless:

(a)                                 either (1) such Issuer is the survivor or (2) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Issuer ) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a Person organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia; provided, however, that Finance Corp. may not consolidate or merge with or into any Person other than a corporation satisfying such requirement so long as the Company is not a corporation;

(b)                                 the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Issuer) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made assumes all the obligations of such Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture or other agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders;

(c)                                  immediately after such transaction no Default or Event of Default exists;

52

(d)                                 in the case of a transaction involving the Company and not Finance Corp., either:

(i)                                     the Company or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made will, at the time of such transaction and after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of Section 4.09; or

(ii)                                  immediately after giving effect to such transaction and any related financing transactions on a pro forma basis as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition has been made, will be equal to or greater than the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company immediately before such transactions; and

(e)                                  such Issuer has delivered to the Holders an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or disposition and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture.

Notwithstanding the restrictions described in the foregoing clause (d), any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Finance Corp.) may consolidate with, merge into or dispose of all or part of its properties and assets to the Company without complying with the preceding clause (d) in connection with any such consolidation, merger or disposition.

Notwithstanding the second preceding paragraph of this Section 5.01, the Company may reorganize as any other form of entity in accordance with the following procedures, provided that:

(1)                                 the reorganization involves the conversion (by merger, sale, contribution or exchange of assets or otherwise) of the Company into a form of entity other than a limited partnership formed under Delaware law;

(2)                                 the entity so formed by or resulting from such reorganization is an entity organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

(3)                                 the entity so formed by or resulting from such reorganization assumes all the obligations of the Company under the Note Documents pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders;

(4)                                 immediately after such reorganization no Default or Event of Default exists; and

53

(5)                                 such reorganization is not materially adverse to the Holders or Beneficial Owners of the Notes (for purposes of this clause (5) a reorganization will not be considered materially adverse to the Holders or Beneficial Owners of the Notes solely because the successor or survivor of such reorganization (a) is subject to federal or state income taxation as an entity or (b) is considered to be an “includible corporation” of an affiliated group of corporations within the meaning of Section 1504(b) of the Code or any similar state or local law).

Section 5.02.                         Successor Substituted.

Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of an Issuer in accordance with Section 5.01, the successor formed by such consolidation or into or with which such Issuer is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and may exercise every right and power of, such Issuer under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor had been named as such Issuer herein and shall be substituted for such Issuer (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the “Company” or “Finance Corp.,” as the case may be, shall refer instead to the successor and not to the Company or Finance Corp., as the case may be); and thereafter such Issuer shall be discharged and released from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Notes.  The Holders shall enter into a supplemental indenture to evidence the succession and substitution of such successor and such discharge and release of such Issuer.

ARTICLE 6
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.01.                         Events of Default.

An “Event of Default” occurs if one of the following shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be involuntary or be effected by operation of law):

(a)                                 an Issuer defaults in the payment when due of interest with respect to, the Notes, and such default continues for a period of 30 days;

(b)                                 an Issuer defaults in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes when due at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required repurchase, upon declaration or otherwise;

(d)                                 the Company fails to comply with the provisions of Section 4.03 for 180 days after notice to the Company by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding of such failure;

54

(e)                                  the Company fails to comply with any other covenant or other agreement in this Indenture or the Notes for 60 days after notice to the Company by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding of such failure;

(f)                                   a default occurs under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the date of this Indenture, if such default:

(1)                                 is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of any grace period provided in such Indebtedness (a “Payment Default”); or

(2)                                 results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its Stated Maturity

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $15.0 million or more; provided, however, that if any such Payment Default is cured or waived or any such acceleration rescinded, or such Indebtedness is repaid, within a period of 60 days from the continuation of such Payment Default beyond the applicable grace period or the occurrence of such acceleration, as the case may be, such Event of Default and any consequential acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded, so long as such rescission does not conflict with any judgment or decree;

(g)                                  the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries fails to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $15.0 million (to the extent not covered by insurance by a reputable and creditworthy insurer as to which the insurer has not disclaimed coverage), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days;

(h)                                 except as permitted by this Indenture, any Subsidiary Guarantee is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee;

(i)                                     the Company, Finance Corp., any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary of the Company or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law:

(j)                                    a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

(1)                                 is for relief against the Company, Finance Corp., any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary of the Company or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company in an involuntary case;

(2)                                 appoints a Custodian of the Company, Finance Corp., any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary of the Company or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company, Finance Corp., any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary of the Company or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company, that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company; or

(3)                                 orders the liquidation of the Company, Finance Corp., any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary of the Company or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company,

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days.

Section 6.02.                         Acceleration.

If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, by notice to the Issuers, may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.  Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately, together with all accrued and unpaid interest (including, without limitation, interest accrued thereon at the Default Rate) and premium, if any, thereon.  Notwithstanding the preceding, if an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (j) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs with respect to the Company, Finance Corp., any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary of the Company or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable without further action or notice, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any, thereon.  The Required Holders may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except with respect to nonpayment

56

of principal, interest or premium, if any, that have become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.

Section 6.03.                         Other Remedies.

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

A delay or omission by any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default.  All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04.                         Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Required Holders may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any 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, if any, or interest on, the Notes.  Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05.                         Control by Majority.

The Required Holders may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Holders.

Section 6.06.                         Limitation on Suits.

A Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if the Required Holders agree to pursue the remedy. A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.

Section 6.07.                         Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, and premium, if any, 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.

ARTICLE 7
REGISTRATION, EXCHANGE AND REPLACEMENT OF NOTES

Section 7.01.                         Registration of Notes.

The Company shall maintain at its principal executive office a copy of each instrument of transfer delivered to it to effect an assignment of any Note or portion thereof and a register for

57

the recordation of the names and addresses of the Holders and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Notes owing to each Holder pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer and recordation in the Register, the Person in whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and the Issuers shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Holders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Section 7.02.                         Transfer and Exchange of Notes.

Upon surrender of any Note to the Issuers, at the address (as specified in Section 11.01) and to the attention of the officer designated by the Issuers, for registration of transfer or exchange (and, in the case of a surrender for registration of transfer, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer substantially in the “Assignment Form” attached to such Note, completed and duly executed by the Holder of such Note or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), within 10 Business Days thereafter, the Issuers shall execute and deliver, at the Issuers’ expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes (as requested by the Holder thereof) in exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Note.  Each such new Note shall be payable to such Holder (in the case of an exchange) or its registered assign (in the case of a registration of transfer) and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A.  Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.  The Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp, documentary or transfer Taxes or any other excise or property Taxes, charges or similar levies imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less than $100,000; provided that, if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a Holder of its entire holding of Notes, one Note may be in a denomination of less than $100,000.  Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuers.

For the avoidance of doubt, except as set forth in Section 7.04, no Issuer Party will have any consent right in respect of any transfer of Notes by the Purchaser or any other Holder.

Section 7.03.                         Replacement of Notes.

Upon receipt by the Issuers at the address (as specified in Section 11.01) and to the attention of the officer designated by the Issuers of evidence reasonably satisfactory to them of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note (which evidence shall be notice from the applicable Holder of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and

(a)                                 in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to them (provided that, if a Holder is, or is a nominee for, a Holder with a minimum net worth of at least $50,000,000 or a Person who is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of such term as set forth in Rule 144A(a)(1) under the

58

Securities Act, such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory); or

(b)                                 in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, within 10 Business Days thereafter, the Issuers at their own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such mutilated Note or dated the date of such mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

Section 7.04.                         Minimum Holding by Purchaser.

In no event shall the Purchaser transfer an aggregate principal amount of its Notes so as to cause the Purchaser, its Affiliates and funds managed or sub-advised by GSO Capital Partners LP or its Affiliates, collectively, to constitute less than the Required Holders at any time; provided, however, that the Issuers shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay their consent to any proposed assignment in contravention of the foregoing minimum holding requirement.

Section 7.05.                         Issuer Purchase of Notes.

The Issuers will not, and will not permit any of their Affiliates, to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Notes.  The Issuers will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by them or any of their Affiliates pursuant to any payment or prepayment of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

ARTICLE 8
PAYMENTS ON NOTES

Section 8.01.                         Placement of Payment.

Subject to Section 8.02, payments of principal, interest and all other amounts becoming due hereunder shall be made in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, at the principal executive office of the Company in such jurisdiction.  The Issuers may at any time, by notice to each Holder, change the place of payment of the Notes so long as such place of payment shall be either the principal office of the Company in such jurisdiction or the principal office of a bank or trust company in such jurisdiction.

Section 8.02.                         Home Office Payment.

Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 8.01 or in any Note to the contrary, the Issuers will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, interest and all other amounts becoming due hereunder by the method and at the address specified for such purpose as follows:

59

or by such other method or at such other address as the Purchaser or another Holder shall have from time to time specified to the Issuers in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Issuers made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, such Holder shall surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Company at its principal executive office or at the place of payment most recently designated by the Issuers pursuant to Section 8.01.  Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by a Holder or its nominee, such Holder will, at its election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Issuers in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 7.02.

ARTICLE 9
AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01.                         With Consent of Required Holders.

The Issuers, the Guarantors and the Required Holders may, subject to Section 9.02, amend or supplement any provision of this Indenture and the Notes, and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, waive any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes; provided, however, that the Issuers and the Guarantors may supplement this Indenture to add any additional Guarantor with respect to the Notes in compliance with Section 4.13 or 10.02, without the consent of any Holder.

Upon the request of the Issuers accompanied by Board Resolutions authorizing their execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the delivery to, and the consent of, the Required Holders as aforesaid, the Required Holders shall join with the Issuers and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture.

Section 9.02.                         With Consent of all Holders.

Without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

(a)                                 reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(b)                                 reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter any of the provisions with respect to the redemption or repurchase of the Notes (except as provided in Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15);

(c)                                  reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note;

60

(d)                                 waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

(e)                                  make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;

(f)                                   make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or Events of Default or the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (except as permitted in clause (g) below);

(g)                                  waive a redemption or repurchase payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15);

(h)                                 release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or

(i)                                     make any change in the preceding amendment, supplement and waiver provisions.

Upon the request of the Issuers accompanied by Board Resolutions authorizing their execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the delivery to, and the consent of, the Holders as aforesaid, the Holders shall join with the Issuers and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective under this Section or Section 9.01, it shall bind every Holder.

Section 9.03.                         Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

The Issuers may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated.  The Issuers, in exchange for all Notes, may issue 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.

Section 9.04.                         Solicitation of Holders.

(a)                                 The Issuers will provide each Holder with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such Holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, supplement, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof or of the Notes. The Issuers will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, supplement, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Article 9 to each Holder promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite Holders or, in the case of

ARTICLE 10
GUARANTEES OF NOTES

Section 10.01.                  Subsidiary Guarantees.

Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees, on a senior unsecured basis, to each Holder, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes held thereby, the Note Purchase Agreement, and the Obligations of the Issuers hereunder and thereunder, that: (a) the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, upon repurchase or redemption or otherwise, and interest (to the extent permitted by law) on the overdue principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes, and all other payment Obligations of the Issuers to the Holders hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full and performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any

62

extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, upon repurchase or redemption or otherwise.  Failing payment when so due of any amount so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately.  An Event of Default under this Indenture or the Notes shall constitute an event of default under the Subsidiary Guarantees, and shall entitle the Holders to accelerate the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the Obligations of the Issuers.

The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, the Note Puchase Agreement or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against an Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance (other than complete performance) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor.  Each Guarantor further, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of an Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against an Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Subsidiary Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the Obligations contained in the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement and this Indenture.

If any Holder is required by any court or otherwise to return to an Issuer, the Guarantors, or any Custodian or other similar official acting in relation to any of the Issuers or the Guarantors, any amount paid by an Issuer or any Guarantor to such Holder, the Subsidiary Guarantees, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.  Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to, and hereby waives, any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Obligations guaranteed hereby.

Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (a) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of its Subsidiary Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby, and (b) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purpose of its Subsidiary Guarantee.  The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Subsidiary Guarantees.

Section 10.02.                  Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

(a)                                 No Guarantor shall sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person (other than the Company or another Guarantor), unless, (i) either (1) the Person acquiring the properties or assets in any such sale or other disposition or

63

the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor, pursuant to a supplemental indenture, substantially in the form of Exhibit C, under the Notes, this Indenture and its Subsidiary Guarantee on terms set forth therein, or (2) such sale or other disposition does not violate the provisions of Section 4.10, and (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists.

(b)                                 In the case of any such consolidation or merger and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Holders and substantially in the form of Exhibit C, of the Subsidiary Guarantee and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants of this Indenture 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.

Section 10.03.                  Releases of Subsidiary Guarantees.

The Subsidiary Guarantee of a Guarantor shall be released: (1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of such Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the provisions of Section 4.10; (2) in connection with any sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of such Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the provisions of Section 4.10 and the Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as a result of such sale or other disposition; (3) if the Company designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 4.20; (4) upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred that is continuing; or (5) at such time as such Guarantor ceases to both (i) guarantee any other Indebtedness of either of the Issuers and any other Guarantor and (ii) be an obligor with respect to any Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Facility of the Company.

Upon delivery by the Company to the Holders of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that any of the conditions described in the foregoing clauses (1) — (5) has occurred, the Holders shall execute any documents reasonably requested by the Company in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee.  Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of, and premium, and interest on, the Notes and for the other obligations of such Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 10.

Section 10.04.                  Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

The obligations of each Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the

64

obligations of such Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law and not otherwise being void or voidable under any similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

SECTION 4.                            REPRESENTATION OF EACH HOLDER.  Each Holder represents and warrants as of the date hereof, as to itself only, that it is acquiring its Exchange Bonds for its own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act; provided, however, that, by making the representation herein, such Holder does not agree to hold any of its Exchange Bonds for any minimum or specific term and reserves the right to dispose of such Exchange Bonds at any time in accordance with, or pursuant to, a registration statement or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

SECTION 5.                            INDEMNIFICATION OF HOLDERS.

5.1                               Expense Reimbursement.  The Issuers shall pay all of the Holders’ fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses) arising in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the Exchange.

5.2                               Indemnification Generally.  The Issuers hereby indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, each Affiliate of each Holder, each successor and assign of the foregoing Persons and the respective directors, officers, advisors, agents and employees of each Holder and each other Person controlling any of the foregoing within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or other costs or expenses, joint or several, to which an Indemnified Party may become subject which arise out of or related to or result from any transaction, action or proceeding connected with this Agreement, the Exchange or any other matters contemplated hereby (collectively, “Liabilities”); provided that “Liabilities”

B-4

shall not include any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or other costs or expenses which result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party (to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment).  In addition to the foregoing, the Issuers agree to reimburse each Indemnified Party for all legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, defending or participating in any action or other proceeding relating to any Liabilities (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party to any such action or proceeding).  No Indemnified Party shall be liable to the Issuers or any other Person for damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through internet, electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent that such damages arise as a result of information distributed through the internet, electronic, telecommunications or other information transmissions systems by such Indemnified Party in a manner that is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment to have been grossly negligent or a result of the bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party (to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment).  No Indemnified Party shall be liable to the Issuers or any other Person for any determination made by it pursuant to this Section 5 in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Person (to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment).

5.3                               Contribution.  If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Issuers shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Issuers on the one hand and such Indemnified Party on the other hand but also the relative fault of the Issuers and such Indemnified Party, as well as any relevant equitable considerations.  The rights set forth in this Section 5.3 are in addition to any rights that the Indemnified Parties may have at common law or otherwise.

5.4                               Successors and Assigns.  The Issuers’ indemnity obligations under this Section 5 shall be in addition to any liability which the Issuers may otherwise have and shall be binding upon any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Issuers.  This Section 5 is for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties, and no other Person may rely hereon.

5.5                               No Consequential Damages.  In no event shall the Issuers have any liability to any Indemnified Party for any consequential or punitive damages, except for any such consequential or punitive damages included in any third party claim in connection with which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification.

5.6                               Defense.  If any Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Section 5 with respect to any action or proceeding brought by a third party that is also brought against the Issuers, the Issuers shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such action or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.  Upon assumption by the Issuers of the defense of any such action or proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such action or proceeding and to retain its own counsel, but the Issuers shall not be liable for any legal expenses of other counsel subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof unless (a) the Issuers have agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (b) the Issuers shall have failed to employ counsel reasonably

B-5

satisfactory to the Indemnified Party in a timely manner or (c) the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there are actual or potential conflicting interests between the Issuers and the Indemnified Party, including situations in which there are one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Issuers.  The Issuers shall not consent to the terms of any compromise or settlement of any action defended by the Issuers in accordance with the foregoing without the prior consent of the Indemnified Party (other than any such compromise or settlement exclusively requiring payment of money by the Issuers).

5.7                               Survival.  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Issuers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Issuers contained in this Section 5 shall survive the payment in full of all amounts due hereunder.

SECTION 6.                            Miscellaneous.

6.1                               GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

6.2                               Submission to Jurisdiction and Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)                                 Each of the parties to this Agreement irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the borough of Manhattan or the District Court for the Southern District of New York or any court of appeals from either thereof, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Each of the parties irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(b)                                 EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.  EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (iv) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION.

6.6                               Notices.  The rules set forth in Section 11.01 of the Indenture governing the delivery and receipt of notices shall be applicable to notices delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and such Section 11.01 is hereby incorporated in this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, as if fully set forth herein.
