(d) Redemption. The provisions of Article III of the Base Indenture regarding redemption are supplemented by the provisions of Article IV of this Supplemental Indenture;

(f) Discharge and Defeasance. The provisions of Articles V and XII of the Base Indenture regarding discharge and defeasance are deleted and replaced in their entirety by the provisions of Article VIII of this Supplemental Indenture;

(g) Events of Default. The provisions of Section 8.01 of the Base Indenture regarding Events of Default are deleted and replaced in their entirety by the provisions of Article VII of this Supplemental Indenture;

(h) Mergers; Transfers of Assets. The provisions of Article XI of the Base Indenture regarding mergers and transfers of assets are deleted and replaced in their entirety by Article VI of this Supplemental Indenture;

(i) Consents and Waivers. The provisions of Sections 10.01 and 10.02 of the Base Indenture regarding consents and waivers are deleted and replaced in their entirety by the provisions of Article IX of this Supplemental Indenture;

To the extent that the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture (including those referred to in clauses (a) through (l) above) conflict with any provision of the Base Indenture, the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

Section 1.03 Authentication; Designation and Amount of Notes.

One Responsible Officer shall sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

If a Responsible Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid.

The Trustee shall authenticate the Notes upon receipt of a written authentication order by the Company (an "Authentication Order").

A Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual or facsimile signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under the Indenture.

The Notes shall be known and designated as the "9.625% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011." The aggregate principal amount of the Initial Notes to be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee shall be an amount up to $200,000,000 (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, Notes pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.07, 3.05 or 10.06 of the Base Indenture). The aggregate principal amount of Additional Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture on one or more occasions is unlimited; provided the issuance of any Additional Notes is subject to compliance with Section 5.01 of this Supplemental Indenture.

The Notes (including the Initial Notes and any Additional Notes, Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes) shall together constitute one series for purposes of the Base Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture, including, without limitation, vote, waivers, consents, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Supplemental Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Company.

Section 1.04 Form and Dating.

(a) General. The Notes and the Trustee's certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A to this Supplemental Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture, and the Company and the

Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound hereby and thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

(b) Global Notes. The Initial Notes and, unless specified in a Board Resolution and Officer's Certificate as provided in clause (d) below, any Additional Notes shall be issued initially in the form of a Global Note or Global Notes. Subject to Article III of this Supplemental Indenture, Notes issued in global form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A (including the Global Note Legend thereon), and Notes issued in definitive form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A (but without the Global Note Legend thereon). Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Note Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Article III of this Supplemental Indenture.

UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR SECURITIES IN DEFINITIVE FORM, THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY. THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY SHALL ACT AS THE DEPOSITARY UNTIL A SUCCESSOR SHALL BE APPOINTED BY THE COMPANY AND THE REGISTRAR. UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (55 WATER STREET, NEW YORK, NEW YORK) ("DTC") TO THE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

(d) Additional Notes. The terms of any Additional Notes shall be substantially identical to those of the Initial Notes (except for the first interest payment date and except that Additional Notes may be issued as Restricted Additional Notes or Unrestricted Additional Notes). With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company shall set forth in a Board Resolution and in an Officer's Certificate, a copy of each of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:

(1) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture;

(2) the issue price and issue date of such Additional Notes and the amount of interest payable on the first interest payment date applicable thereto; and

(3) whether such Additional Notes shall be Restricted Additional Notes or Unrestricted Additional Notes, and in the case of Restricted Additional Notes, (i) limitations on purchasers for such Restricted Additional Notes (e.g., issuances to qualified institutional buyers (as defined in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act) only) and (ii) registration obligations relating to the Restricted Additional Notes, including relating to additional interest payable on such Notes in the event of the failure by the Company to register such Notes during the periods specified in the applicable Registration Rights Agreement.

Section 1.05 Registrar and Paying Agent.

The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange ("Registrar") and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment ("Paying Agent"). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term "Registrar" includes any co-registrar and the term "Paying Agent" includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Supplemental Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Note Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

Section 1.06 Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust.

The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 1.07 Defaulted Interest.

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date (a "Special Record Date"), in each case at the rate provided in the Notes. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such Special Record Date and payment date; provided that no such Special Record Date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the Special Record Date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or

cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the Special Record Date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 1.08 Outstanding Notes.

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 1.09, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.

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

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 6.01 of the Base Indenture, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

Section 1.09 Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

(y) without duplication, the sum of:

In the event that a proposed Restricted Payment or any portion thereof meets the criteria of more than one of the clauses in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company will be permitted to classify such Restricted Payment or portion thereof as being within any one or more such clauses in respect of which it meets the criteria.

Section 5.03 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 the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the Capital Stock, property or assets issued, sold or otherwise disposed of (as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors); and

(2) at least 75% of the consideration received by the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from such Asset Sale shall be in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents, Replacement Assets or any combination of the foregoing received at the time of such disposition.

Following the consummation of an Asset Sale, the Company shall apply, or cause such Restricted Subsidiary to apply, the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale within 360 days of receipt thereof either:

(a) to prepay any Senior Debt, any Guarantor Senior Debt or any then outstanding Existing Notes and, in the case of any Senior Debt or any Guarantor Senior Debt under any revolving credit facility, effect a permanent reduction in the availability under such revolving credit facility;

(b) acquire properties and assets (including Asset Acquisitions or capital expenditures) that replace the properties and assets that were the subject of such Asset Sale or properties and assets that will be used in the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as existing on the Issue Date or in businesses reasonably related thereto ("Replacement Assets"); and/or

For purposes of clause (2) above, the amount of any liabilities, as shown on the Company's or such Restricted Subsidiary's most recent balance sheet, of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and any cash proceeds in respect of any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted into cash within 30 days following the consummation of such Asset Sale, to the extent of the cash received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in that conversion, shall be deemed to constitute cash received at the time of such disposition.

Any Net Cash Proceeds resulting from Asset Sales consummated after the Issue Date that are not timely applied as permitted in the two preceding paragraphs shall constitute "Excess Proceeds". If on any date (an "Excess Proceeds Offer Trigger Date") the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds, excluding any amounts thereof previously applied pursuant to this paragraph, exceeds $10.0 million, the Company and/or a Restricted Subsidiary shall, within 30 days thereafter, make an offer (the "Excess Proceeds Offer") to purchase from all Holders on a pro rata basis, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, the maximum principal amount of Notes that can be so purchased at such price with such Excess Proceeds (the "Excess Proceeds Offer Amount").

Each Excess Proceeds Offer will be mailed to the record Holders as shown on the register of Holders, with a copy to the Trustee, and shall comply with the procedures set forth in Section 4.02. Upon receiving notice of the Excess Proceeds Offer, Holders may elect to tender their Notes in whole

or in part in integral multiples of $1,000 in exchange for cash. To the extent Holders properly tender Notes in an amount exceeding the Excess Proceeds Offer Amount, Notes of tendering Holders shall be purchased on a pro rata basis (based on amounts tendered). Any Excess Proceeds Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days or such longer period as may be required by law.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Excess Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Section 4.02 and this Section 5.03, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the provisions of Section 4.02 and this Section 5.03 by virtue thereof.

Section 5.04 Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.

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

(1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock;

(2) make loans or advances or to pay any Indebtedness or other obligation owed to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; or

(3) transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;

except for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(a) applicable law, regulations or orders;

(b) the Indenture and the Notes;

(c) customary non-assignment provisions of any contract or agreement to which any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company is a party;

(d) any instrument governing Acquired Indebtedness, which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person or the properties or assets of the Person so acquired;

(e) agreements existing on the Issue Date to the extent and in the manner such agreements are in effect on the Issue Date, including the Senior Credit Facilities;

(f) any instrument or agreement governing Indebtedness incurred to Refinance the Indebtedness governed by any instrument or agreement referred to in clause (b), (d) or (e) above or governing any other Indebtedness the incurrence of which is permitted under the Indenture; provided, however, the restrictions and encumbrances contained in the instruments and agreements referred to in clauses (b), (d) and (e) above, taken as a whole, are not materially less favorable to the Company than the restrictions and encumbrances contained in the instruments and agreements referred to in clauses (b), (d) and (e), taken as a whole, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company;

(g) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of any Capital Stock, property or assets that restricts or encumbers transfers of such Capital Stock, property or assets pending the consummation of such sale or other disposition; or

(h) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary that restricts or encumbers distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition.

Section 5.05 Limitation on Preferred Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries.

The Company will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any Preferred Stock (other than to the Company or to a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) or permit any Person (other than the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) to own any Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company.

Section 5.06 Limitation on Liens.

The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or permit or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind against or upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries whether owned on the Issue Date or acquired after the Issue Date, or any proceeds therefrom, or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive income or profits therefrom unless:

(1) in the case of Liens securing Indebtedness that is expressly subordinate or junior in right of payment to the Notes or a Guarantee, the Notes or such Guarantee, respectively, are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; and

(2) in all other cases, the Notes or such Guarantee, respectively, are equally and ratably secured, except for:

(a) Liens existing as of the Issue Date to the extent and in the manner such Liens are in effect on the Issue Date;

(b) Liens securing Senior Debt and Liens securing any Guarantor Senior Debt;

(d) Liens of the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company on assets of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;

(e) Liens securing Refinancing Indebtedness which is incurred to Refinance any Indebtedness which has been secured by a Lien permitted under the Indenture and which has been incurred in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture; provided, however, that such Liens: (i) are no less favorable to the Holders and are not more favorable to the lienholders with respect to such Liens than the Liens in respect of the Indebtedness being Refinanced; and (ii) do not extend to or cover any property or assets of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries not securing the Indebtedness so Refinanced; and

(f) Permitted Liens.

Section 5.07 Prohibition on Incurrence of Senior Subordinated Debt.

The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor to, incur or suffer to exist Indebtedness that is senior in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor's Guarantee, respectively, and subordinate in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, respectively.

Section 5.08 Offer to Repurchase upon Change of Control.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (the date of such occurrence, the "Change of Control Date"), each Holder shall have the right to require the purchase of all or a portion of such Holder Notes pursuant to an offer to purchase (the "Change of Control Offer") at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest thereon to the date of purchase. Prior to the mailing of the notice to the Holders and the Trustee provided for in paragraphs

(b) and (c) below but in any event within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company hereby covenants to (i) repay in full and terminate all commitments under Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities and all other Senior Debt the terms of which require repayment upon a Change of Control (or that prohibits a Change of Control Offer) or to offer to repay in full and terminate all commitments under all Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities and all other such Senior Debt and to repay the Indebtedness of each lender which has accepted such offer or (ii) obtain the requisite consents under the Senior Credit Facilities and all other such Senior Debt to permit the repurchase of the Notes as provided for in paragraph (d) below. The Company shall first comply with the covenant in the immediately preceding sentence before it shall be required to repurchase the Notes pursuant to this Section 5.08. The Company's failure to comply with the covenants described in the second preceding sentence (and any failure to send the notice described in this Section 5.08 as a result of the prohibition in the preceding sentence) may (with notice and lapse of time) constitute an Event of Default described in clause (c) of Section 7.01 but shall not constitute an Event of Default described in clause (b) of Section 7.01.

(b) The notice to the Holders and the Trustee shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable the Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer. The notice will govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer.

(c) Within 30 days following the Change of Control Date the Company shall send, by first class mail, a notice to the Holders and the Trustee stating:

(1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 5.08 and that all Notes validly tendered will be accepted for payment;

(2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be a Business Day that is no earlier than 30 days nor later than 45 days from the date such notice is mailed (the "Offer Payment Date") other than as may be required by law;

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

(4) that any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Offer Payment Date unless the Company shall default in the payment of the purchase price of the Notes and the only remaining right of the Holder is to receive payment of the purchase price upon surrender of the applicable Note to the Paying Agent;

(5) that Holders electing to have a portion of a Note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer may only elect to have such Note purchased in integral multiples of $1,000;

(6) that if a Holder elects to have a Note purchased pursuant to the Change of Control Offer it will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled "Option to Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Offer Payment Date;

(7) that a Holder will be entitled to withdraw its election if the Company or the Trustee receives, not later than the third Business Day preceding the Offer Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of Notes such Holder delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Note purchased;

(8) that if Notes are purchased only in part a new Note of the same type will be issued in principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered; and

(9) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or

transferred by book-entry transfer) in the name of the Holder upon cancellation of the original Note.

(d) On or before the Offer Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, all Notes or portions thereof validly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, and shall deliver to the Trustee 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 5.08. The Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in all case not later than five days after the Offer Payment Date) mail or deliver to each tendering 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 promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Company shall authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on the Offer Payment Date.

(e) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to an offer hereunder. To the extent the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions under this Section, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section by virtue thereof.

(f) The Company is not required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party (i) makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner and at the time and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Section, and (ii) purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer.

Section 5.09 Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or permit to exist any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any of its Affiliates (each an "Affiliate Transaction"), other than (x) Affiliate Transactions permitted under paragraph (b) below and (y) Affiliate Transactions on terms that are not materially less favorable in the aggregate than those that might reasonably have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm's-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary.

All Affiliate Transactions (and each series of related Affiliate Transactions which are similar or part of a common plan) involving aggregate payments or other property with a fair market value in excess of $2.5 million shall be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, such approval to be evidenced by a Board Resolution stating that such Board of Directors has determined that such transaction complies with the foregoing provisions. If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company enters into an Affiliate Transaction (or a series of related Affiliate Transactions related to a common plan) that involves an aggregate fair market value of more than $7.5 million, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall, prior to the consummation thereof, obtain a favorable opinion as to the fairness of such transaction or series of related transactions to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point of view, from an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing in the United States and file the same with the Trustee.

(b) The restrictions set forth in the first paragraph of this covenant shall not apply to:

(1) any issuance of securities, or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, employment arrangements, stock options and stock ownership plans and other reasonable fees, compensation, benefits and indemnities paid or entered into by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business to or with officers, directors or employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors or senior management;

(2) transactions exclusively between or among the Company and any of its Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries or exclusively between or among such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries, provided such transactions are not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture;

(3) any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date or any amendment thereto or any transaction contemplated thereby (including pursuant to any amendment thereto) in any replacement agreement thereto so long as any such amendment or replacement agreement is not more disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date; and

(4) Restricted Payments permitted by the Indenture.

Section 5.10 Limitation of Guarantees by Restricted Subsidiaries.

The Company will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, by way of the pledge of any intercompany note or otherwise, to assume, guarantee or in any other manner become liable with respect to any Indebtedness of the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (other than: (1) Permitted Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; (2) Indebtedness under Currency Agreements in reliance on clause (5) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness; or (3) Interest Swap Obligations incurred in reliance on clause (4) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness), unless, in any such case:

(1) such Restricted Subsidiary executes and delivers, or has previously executed and delivered, a supplemental indenture to the Indenture, providing a guarantee of payment of the Notes by such Restricted Subsidiary; and

(2) (a) if any such assumption, guarantee or other liability of such Restricted Subsidiary is provided in respect of Senior Debt, the guarantee or other instrument provided by such Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such Senior Debt may be superior to the Guarantee pursuant to subordination provisions no less favorable to the Holders of the Notes than those contained in the Indenture and (b) if such assumption, guarantee or other liability of such Restricted Subsidiary is provided in respect of Indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Notes, the guarantee or other instrument provided by such Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such subordinated Indebtedness shall be subordinated to the Guarantee pursuant to subordination provisions no less favorable to the Holders of the Notes than those contained in the Indenture.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Guarantee by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Notes shall provide by its terms that it shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, upon:

(1) the unconditional release of such Restricted Subsidiary from its liability in respect of the Indebtedness in connection with which such Guarantee was executed and delivered pursuant to the preceding paragraph; or

(2) any sale or other disposition (by merger or otherwise) to any Person which is not a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of all of the Company's Capital Stock in, or all or substantially all of the assets of, such Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (a) such sale or

disposition of such Capital Stock or assets is otherwise in compliance with the terms of the Indenture and (b) such assumption, guarantee or other liability of such Restricted Subsidiary has been released by the holders of the other Indebtedness so guaranteed.

Section 5.11 Additional Subsidiary Guarantees.

If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries transfers or causes to be transferred, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, any property to any Domestic Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, or if the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall organize, acquire or otherwise invest in another Domestic Restricted Subsidiary having total assets with a book value in excess of $1.0 million, then such transferee or acquired or other Restricted Subsidiary shall:

(1) execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company's obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms set forth in the Indenture; and

(2) deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary. Thereafter, such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary shall be a Guarantor for all purposes of the Indenture.

Section 5.12 Conduct of Business.

The Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not engage in any businesses which are not the same, similar, ancillary, complementary or reasonably related to the businesses in which the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are engaged on the Issue Date.

Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the Commission, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will furnish the Holders of Notes:

(1) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file such Forms, including a "management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations" that describes the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries and, with respect to the annual information only, a report thereon by the Company's certified independent accounts; and

(2) all current reports (excluding exhibits) that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports;

in each case within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and regulations. For purposes of the foregoing covenant, any information or reports that are filed with the Commission and accessible by the public through EDGAR or any similar successor or replacement system that may be adopted by the Commission shall, upon becoming so accessible, be deemed to have been furnished to the Holders of the Notes.

In addition, whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the Commission, the Company will file a copy of all such information and reports with the Commission for public availability within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and regulations (unless the Commission will not accept such a filing) and make such information available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request.

Section 5.14 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

The Company and each Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of the Indenture; and the Company and each Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

Section 7.02 Acceleration.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (f) or (g) above with respect to the Company) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes may declare the principal of and accrued interest on all the Notes to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a "notice of acceleration" (the "Acceleration Notice"), and the same:

(a) shall become immediately due and payable; or

(b) if there are any amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Facilities, shall become immediately due and payable upon the first to occur of an acceleration under the Senior Credit Facilities or five Business Days after receipt by the Company and the Representative under the Senior Credit Facilities of such Acceleration Notice but only if such Event of Default is then continuing.

If an Event of Default specified in clause (f) or (g) above with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes as described in the preceding paragraph, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences:

(a) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;

(b) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration;

The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes) may, by notice to the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past Default hereunder and its consequences, except a Default:

(b) in respect of a Section of the Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Note affected.

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of the Indenture; provided, however, no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 7.04 Notice of Defaults.

In addition to its obligations under Section 6.08 of the Base Indenture, the Company shall, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon any Responsible Officer of the Company becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officer's Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "Legal Defeasance"). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 8.05 and the other Sections of the Indenture referred to in clauses (a) through (d) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and

the Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04(a), and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal amount of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due;

For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 7.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of the Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, the failure to comply with the terms of Section 7.01(d), Section 7.01(e) and Section 7.01(h) shall not constitute Events of Default.

order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company's obligations under the Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE IX

Amendment, Supplement and Waiver

Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

(a) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

(b) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes or to alter the provisions of Article III (including the related definitions) in a manner that does not materially adversely affect any Holder;

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Sections 9.02 and 10.03 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of the Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes.

Except as provided in this Section 9.02, the Indenture, the Guarantees and the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Section 1.08 shall determine which Notes are considered to be "outstanding" for purposes of this Section 9.02.

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Sections 9.02 and 10.03 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture unless such amended or supplemental Indenture affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental Indenture or waiver.

However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

(5) make any change in provisions of the Indenture protecting the right of each Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on such Note on or after the due date thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment, or permitting Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes to waive Defaults or Events of Default;

(6) alter the Company's obligation to purchase Notes arises thereunder, amend, change or modify in any material respect the obligation of the Company to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of Control or make and consummate an Excess Proceeds Offer with respect to any Asset Sale that has been consummated or, after such Change of Control has occurred or such Asset Sale has been consummated, modify any of the provisions or definitions with respect thereto;

(7) modify or change any provision of the Indenture or the related definitions affecting the subordination or ranking of the Notes or any Guarantee in a manner which adversely affects the Holders; or

(8) release any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary from any of its obligations under its Guarantee or the Indenture otherwise than in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

No amendment of, or supplement or waiver to, the Indenture shall adversely affect the rights of any holder of Senior Debt or Guarantor Senior Debt under this Section 9.02, Article X or Article XII without the consent of such holder of Senior Debt or Guarantor Senior Debt, as the case may be.

ARTICLE X

Subordination

Section 10.01 Securities Subordinated to Senior Debt.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company, for itself and its successors, and each Holder agrees that the payment of all Obligations owing on or relating to the Notes to the Holders is subordinated, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article X, to the prior payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents, or such payment duly provided for to the satisfaction of the holders of Senior Debt, of all Obligations on Senior Debt (including all Obligations with respect to the Senior Credit Facilities, whether outstanding on the Issue Date or thereafter incurred). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article X, payments and distributions made relating to the Notes pursuant to a trust fund established under Section 8.04(a) pursuant to the terms of Article VIII (so long as all of the conditions contained in Section 8.04 were satisfied at the time of such deposit) shall not be subordinated to Senior Debt under this Article X.

This Article X shall constitute a continuing offer to all Persons who become holders of, or continue to hold, Senior Debt, and such provisions are made for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt and such holders are made obligees hereunder and any one or more of them may enforce such provisions.

Section 10.02 Suspension of Payment When Senior Debt Is in Default.

without limitation, guarantees of the foregoing items which constitute Senior Debt) (a "Payment Default"), then no payment or distribution of any kind or character shall be made by or on behalf of the Company or any other Person on its or their behalf with respect to any Obligations owing on, or with respect to, the Notes or to acquire any of the Notes for cash or property or otherwise until such Payment Default (and all other Payment Defaults) shall have been cured or waived in accordance with the terms of the documentation governing the respective Senior Debt or ceased to exist or all Senior Debt with respect to which any Payment Default has occurred and is continuing shall have been discharged or paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents.

(b) If any event of default (other than a Payment Default) occurs and is continuing with respect to any Designated Senior Debt (as such event of default is defined in the instrument creating or evidencing such Designated Senior Debt) permitting the holders of such Designated Senior Debt then outstanding to accelerate the maturity thereof (a "Non-payment Default"), and if the Representative for the respective issue of Designated Senior Debt gives notice of the event of default to the Trustee stating that such notice is a payment blockage notice (a "Payment Blockage Notice"), then during the period (the "Payment Blockage Period") beginning upon the delivery of such Payment Blockage Notice and ending on the earlier of (x) the date on which all events of default with respect to all Designated Senior Debt have been cured or waived or ceased to exist, (y) 180 days after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received, or (z) the date on which the Trustee receives notice thereof from the Representative for the respective issue of Designated Senior Debt terminating the Payment Blockage Period, neither the Company nor any other Person on its behalf shall (i) make any payment of any kind or character with respect to any Obligations owing on, or with respect to, the Notes or (ii) acquire any of the Notes for cash or property or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) in no event will a Payment Blockage Period extend beyond 180 days from the date the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received by the Trustee and (y) only one such Payment Blockage Period may be commenced within any 360 consecutive days. For all purposes of this Section 10.02(b), no event of default which existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period with respect to the Designated Senior Debt shall be, or be made, the basis for the commencement of a second Payment Blockage Period by the Representative of such Designated Senior Debt whether or not within a period of 360 consecutive days, unless such event of default shall have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days (it being acknowledged that any subsequent action, or any breach of any financial covenants for a period ending after the date of commencement of such Payment Blockage Period that, in either case, would give rise to an event of default pursuant to any provisions under which an event of default previously existed or was continuing shall constitute a new event of default for this purpose).

(c) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment shall be received by the Trustee or any Holder when such payment is prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.02, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior Debt (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amount of Senior Debt held by such holders) or their respective Representatives, as their respective interests may appear. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on information regarding amounts then due and owing on the Senior Debt, if any, received from the holders of Senior Debt (or their Representatives) or, if such information is not received from such holders or their Representatives, from the Company and only amounts included in the information provided to the Trustee shall be paid to the holders of Senior Debt.

Nothing contained in this Article X shall limit the right of the Trustee or the Holders to take any action to accelerate the maturity of the Notes and all other Obligations owing on, or with respect to, the Notes pursuant to Article VII or to pursue any rights or remedies hereunder (subject to the rights, if any, under this Article X, of the holders of Senior Debt in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon exercise of any such remedy); provided that all Senior Debt thereafter due or declared to be due shall first be paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents before the Holders are

entitled to receive any payment of any kind or character with respect to Obligations owing under the Notes.

Section 10.03 Obligations Subordinated to Prior Payment of All Senior Debt on Dissolution, Liquidation or Reorganization of Company.

(a) Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any total or partial liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or marshaling of assets of the Company or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding relating to the Company or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all Obligations in respect of Senior Debt due or to become due shall first be paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents, or such payment duly provided for to the satisfaction of the holders of the Senior Debt (including interest after the commencement of any bankruptcy or other like proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Senior Debt whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in any such proceeding), before any payment or distribution of any kind or character is made on account of any Obligations on, or with respect to, the Notes or for the acquisition of any of the Notes for cash or property or otherwise. Upon any such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization, receivership or similar proceeding, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders or the Trustee would be entitled, except for the provisions hereof, shall be paid by the Company or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, or by the Holders or by the Trustee if received by it, directly to the holders of Senior Debt (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Debt held by such holders) or their respective Representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior Debt may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of Senior Debt remaining unpaid until all such Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents after giving effect to any concurrent payment, distribution or provision therefor to or for the holders of Senior Debt.

(b) To the extent any payment of Senior Debt (whether by or on behalf of the Company, as proceeds of security or enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise) is declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be paid to any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other similar Person under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, fraudulent conveyance or similar law, then, if such payment is recovered by, or paid over to, such receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other similar Person, the Senior Debt or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be deemed to be reinstated and outstanding as if such payment had not occurred.

It is further agreed that any diminution (whether pursuant to court decree or otherwise, including without limitation for any of the reasons described in the preceding sentence) of the Company's obligation to make any distribution or payment pursuant to any Senior Debt, except to the extent such diminution occurs by reason of the repayment (which has not been disgorged or returned) of such Senior Debt in cash or Cash Equivalents, shall have no force or effect for purposes of the subordination provisions contained in this Article X, with any turnover of payments as otherwise calculated pursuant to this Section 10.03 to be made as if no such diminution had occurred.

(c) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by any Holder when such payment or distribution is prohibited by this Section 10.03, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior Debt (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amount of Senior Debt held by such holders) or their respective Representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior Debt may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of Senior Debt remaining unpaid until all such Senior Debt has

been paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents, after giving effect to any concurrent payment, distribution or provision therefor to or for the holders of such Senior Debt.

Section 10.04 Payments May Be Paid Prior to Dissolution.

Nothing contained in this Article X or elsewhere in this Supplemental Indenture shall prevent (i) the Company, except under the conditions described in Sections 10.02 and 10.03, from making payments at any time for the purpose of making payments of principal of and interest on the Obligations owing under the Notes, or from depositing with the Trustee, any monies for such payments, or (ii) in the absence of actual knowledge by the Trustee that a given payment would be prohibited by Section 10.02, 10.03, 12.02 or 12.03, the application by the Trustee of any monies deposited with it by or on behalf of the Company for the purpose of making such payments of principal of, and interest on, the Obligations owing under the Notes to the Holders entitled thereto unless at least one Business Day prior to the date upon which such payment would otherwise become due and payable the Trustee shall have actually received the written notice provided for in Section 10.13 and in the first sentence of Section 10.02(b) or in the last sentence of this Section 10.04 (provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders receiving any payments made in contravention of Section 10.02 and/or 10.03 (and the respective such payments) shall otherwise be subject to the provisions of Section 10.02 and Section 10.03). The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, although any delay or failure to give any such notice shall have no effect on the subordination provisions contained herein.

Section 10.05 Holders To Be Subrogated to Rights of Holders of Senior Debt.

Subject to the payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all Senior Debt, the Holders shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Debt to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to the Senior Debt until the Obligations owing under the Notes shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no such payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Debt by or on behalf of the Company, or by or on behalf of the Holders by virtue of this Article X, which otherwise would have been made to the Holders shall, as between the Company and the Holders, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Debt, it being understood that the provisions of this Article X are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Debt, on the other hand.

Section 10.06 Obligations of the Company Unconditional.

Nothing contained in this Article X or elsewhere in this Supplemental Indenture is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Debt, and the Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders the principal of and any interest on the Obligations owing under the Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders and creditors of the Company other than the holders of the Senior Debt, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent any Holder or the Trustee on its behalf from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Supplemental Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article X, of the holders of Senior Debt in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

Section 10.07 Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.

Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Debt, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative.

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article X, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article IX, and the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any

order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization or similar case or proceeding is pending, or upon a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or the Holders, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article X. Nothing in this Article X shall apply to the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee in its capacity as such under or pursuant to Section 9.06 of the Base Indenture. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself or itself to be a holder of any Senior Debt (or a trustee on behalf of, or other representative of, such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of such Senior Debt or a trustee or representative on behalf of any such holder.

In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that any evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article X, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Debt held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article X, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.

Section 10.08 Subordination Rights Not Impaired by Acts or Omissions of the Company or Holders of Senior Debt.

No right of any present or future holders of any Senior Debt to enforce subordination as provided herein shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms of this Supplemental Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.

Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Senior Debt may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee, without incurring responsibility to the Trustee or the Holders and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article X or the obligations hereunder of the Holders to the holders of the Senior Debt, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Debt, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Debt, or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Debt is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Debt; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of Senior Debt; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company and any other Person.

Section 10.09 Holders Authorize Trustee To Effectuate Subordination of Obligations.

Each Holder authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, as between the holders of Senior Debt and the Holders, the subordination provided in this Article X, and appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for such purposes, including, in the event of any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of credits or otherwise) tending towards liquidation of the business and assets of the Company, the filing of a claim for the unpaid balance of its Obligations owing under the Notes and accrued interest in the form required in those proceedings.

If the Trustee does not file a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required in such proceeding prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim or claims, then the holders of the Senior Debt or their Representative shall have the right to file and are or is hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee or the holders of Senior Debt or their Representative to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations owing under the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee or the holders of Senior Debt or their Representative to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 10.10 This Article X Not To Prevent Events of Default.

The failure to make a payment on account of principal of or interest on the Obligations owing under the Notes by reason of any provision of this Article X will not be construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default.

Section 10.11 Amendments or Modifications to Article X.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Supplemental Indenture, no amendment or modification to any provision of this Article X or the related definitions used herein (other than to cure any ambiguity, defect, mistake or inconsistency herein, so long as such amendment or modification does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of Senior Debt without the consent of such holder of Senior Debt) shall be permitted without the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), or if required by Section 9.02(7), by each holder affected.

Section 10.12 Acceleration of Notes.

If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify holders of Senior Debt of the acceleration.

Section 10.13 Notice to Trustee; Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.

The Company shall give prompt notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Notes or the Guarantee Obligations pursuant to the provisions of this Article X or Article XII, as the case may be, although any delay or failure to give any such notice shall have no effect on the subordination provisions contained herein.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article X or any other provision of the Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee, and (in the absence of actual knowledge that the respective payment will violate the applicable provisions of this Article X or Article XII) the Trustee and the Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes, unless the Trustee shall have received at least one Business Day prior to the date of such payment written notice of facts that would cause the payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Article X (although the receipt of such payment shall otherwise be subject to the applicable provisions of this Article X) or Article XII (although the receipt of such payment shall otherwise be subject to the applicable provisions of Article XII). Only the Company, a Guarantor, a holder of Senior Debt or a Representative therefor may give the notice. Nothing in this Article X shall impair the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee in its capacity as such under or pursuant to Section 9.06 of the Base Indenture. Nothing in this Section 10.13 is intended to or shall relieve any Holder of Notes from the obligations imposed under Sections 10.02(c) and 10.03(c) with respect to other distributions received in violation of the provisions hereof.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Debt with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights.

ARTICLE XI

Guarantee

Section 11.01 Unconditional Guarantee.

Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally, guarantees (such guarantee to be referred to herein as the "Guarantee"), subject to Article XII, to each of the Holders and to the Trustee and their respective successors and assigns that (i) the principal of and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any interest, if any, to the extent lawful, of the Notes and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Notes or of any 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 or otherwise, subject, however, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, to the limitations set forth in Section 11.05. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Supplemental Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any of the Holders with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, this Supplemental Indenture and in this Guarantee. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or any Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or any Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VII for the purposes of this Guarantee, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VII, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of this Guarantee.

Section 11.02 Subordination of Guarantee.

The obligations of each Guarantor to the Holders and to the Trustee pursuant to the Guarantee of such Guarantor and this Supplemental Indenture are expressly subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Guarantor Senior Debt of such Guarantor, to the extent and in the manner provided in Article XII.

Section 11.03 Severability.

In case any provision of this Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 11.04 Release of a Guarantor.

In the event of a sale or other disposition of all of the properties and assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, the sale of all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor, whether by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, in either case provided that such sale or other disposition

complies with Section 5.03 (other than provisions for future application of the Net Cash Proceeds), or in the event of the designation of any Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the Indenture, the Guarantor's Guarantee will be released.

In addition to releases pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Guarantee of any Person which becomes a Guarantor after the Issue Date shall be released in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 5.10.

The Trustee shall promptly deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release upon receipt of a request by the Company accompanied by an Officer's Certificate certifying as to the compliance with this Section 11.04. Any Guarantor not so released remains liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes as provided in this Article XI.

Section 11.05 Limitation of Guarantor's Liability.

Each Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each of the Holders hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by such Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar Federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and such Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor (including, but not limited to, all Guarantor Senior Debt 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 Guarantee or pursuant to Section 11.07, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 11.06 Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

Each Guarantor (other than any Guarantor whose Guarantee is to be released in accordance with the terms of the Guarantee and the Indenture in connection with any transaction complying with the provisions of Section 5.03) will not, and the Company will not cause or permit any Guarantor to, consolidate with or merge with or into any Person other than the Company or any other Guarantor unless:

(1) the entity formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Guarantor) or to which such sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia;

(2) such entity assumes by supplemental indenture all of the obligations of the Guarantor on the Guarantee; and

(3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(4) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the use of any net proceeds therefrom on a pro forma basis, the Company could satisfy the provisions of clause (2) of Section 6.01.

Any merger or consolidation of a Guarantor with and into the Company (with the Company being the surviving entity) or another Guarantor that is a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company need only comply with clause (2) above.

Section 11.07 Contribution.

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors, the Guarantors agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Guarantor (a "Funding Guarantor") under its Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from all

other Guarantors in a pro rata amount based on the Adjusted Net Assets of each Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor) for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging the Company's obligations with respect to the Obligations. "Adjusted Net Assets" of such Guarantor at any date shall mean the lesser of (x) the amount by which the fair value of the property of such Guarantor exceeds the total amount of liabilities, including, without limitation, contingent liabilities (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date (other than liabilities of such Guarantor under Subordinated Indebtedness)), but excluding liabilities under the Guarantee, of such Guarantor at such date and (y) the amount by which the present fair salable value of the assets of such Guarantor at such date exceeds the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities of such Guarantor on its debts including, without limitation, Guarantor Senior Debt (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date and after giving effect to any collection from any Subsidiary of such Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such Subsidiary under the Guarantee), excluding debt in respect of the Guarantee of such Guarantor, as they become absolute and matured.

Section 11.08 Waiver of Subrogation.

Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor's obligations under its Guarantee and this Supplemental Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights unless and until the Notes shall have been paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Notes shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders, and shall, subject to the provisions of Article X, Section 11.02 and Article XII, forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied upon the Notes, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Supplemental Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Supplemental Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 11.08 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 11.09 Evidence of Guarantee.

To evidence their guarantees to the Holders set forth in this Article XI, each of the Guarantors hereby agrees to execute the notation of Guarantee in substantially the form included in Exhibit B. Each such notation of Guarantee shall be signed on behalf of each Guarantor by an Officer or an assistant Secretary by manual or facsimile signature.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee.

If an Officer or assistant Secretary whose signature is on the Indenture or on the Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Guarantee is endorsed, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

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

Section 11.10 Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.

Each Guarantor covenants that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or

other law that would prohibit or forgive such Guarantor from performing its Guarantee as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Supplemental Indenture; and each Guarantor hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

ARTICLE XII

Subordination of Guarantee Obligations

Section 12.01 Guarantee Obligations Subordinated to Guarantor Senior Debt.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Guarantors, for itself and its successors, and each Holder agrees that the payment of all Guarantee Obligations of such Guarantor are subordinated, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article XII, to the prior payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents, or such payment duly provided for to the satisfaction of the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt, of all Obligations on Guarantor Senior Debt of such Guarantor (including all Obligations of such Guarantor with respect to the Senior Credit Facilities, whether outstanding on the Issue Date or thereafter incurred).

This Article XII shall constitute a continuing offer to all Persons who become holders of, or continue to hold, Guarantor Senior Debt, and such provisions are made for the benefit of the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt and such holders are made obligees hereunder and any one or more of them may enforce such provisions.

Section 12.02 Suspension of Guarantee Obligations When Guarantor Senior Debt Is in Default

(a) If any default occurs and is continuing in the payment when due, whether at maturity, upon any redemption, by declaration or otherwise, of any principal of, interest on, unpaid drawings for letters of credit issued in respect of, or regularly accruing fees with respect to, any Guarantor Senior Debt (including, without limitation, guarantees of the foregoing items which constitute Guarantor Senior Debt), then no payment or distribution of any kind or character shall be made by or on behalf of such Guarantor or any other Person on its or their behalf with respect to any Guarantee Obligations or to acquire any of the Notes for cash or property or otherwise until such Payment Default (and all other Payment Defaults) shall have been cured or waived in accordance with the terms of the documentation governing the respective Guarantor Senior Debt or ceased to exist or all Guarantor Senior Debt with respect to which any Payment Default has occurred and is continuing shall have been discharged or paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents.

(b) During any Payment Blockage Period (as determined in accordance with Section 10.02(b)), neither any Guarantor nor any other Person on any Guarantor's behalf shall (i) make any payment of any kind or character with respect to any Guarantee Obligations or (ii) acquire any of the Notes for cash or property or otherwise.

(c) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment shall be received by the Trustee or any Holder when such payment is prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.02, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amount of Guarantor Senior Debt held by such holders) or their respective Representatives, as their respective interests may appear. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on information regarding amounts then due and owing on the Guarantor Senior Debt, if any, received from the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt (or their Representatives) or, if such information is not received from such holders or their Representatives, from a Guarantor and only amounts included in the information provided to the Trustee shall be paid to the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt.

Section 12.03 Guarantee Obligations Subordinated to Prior Payment of All Guarantor Senior Debt on Dissolution, Liquidation or Reorganization of Such Guarantor.

(a) Upon any payment or distribution of assets of any Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any total or partial liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or marshaling of assets of such Guarantor or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding relating to such Guarantor or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all Obligations in respect of Guarantor Senior Debt due or to become due shall first be paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents, or such payment duly provided for to the satisfaction of the holders of the Guarantor Senior Debt (including interest after the commencement of any bankruptcy or other like proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Guarantor Senior Debt whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in any such proceeding), before any payment or distribution of any kind or character is made on account of any Guarantee Obligations or for the acquisition of any of the Notes for cash or property or otherwise. Upon any such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization, receivership or similar proceeding, any payment or distribution of assets of such Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders or the Trustee would be entitled, except for the provisions hereof, shall be paid by such Guarantor or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, or by the Holders or by the Trustee if received by them, directly to the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of Guarantor Senior Debt held by such holders) or their respective Representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Guarantor Senior Debt may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of Guarantor Senior Debt remaining unpaid until all such Guarantor Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents after giving effect to any concurrent payment, distribution or provision therefor to or for the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt.

(b) To the extent any payment of Guarantor Senior Debt (whether by or on behalf of a Guarantor, as proceeds of security or enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise) is declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be paid to any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other similar Person under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, fraudulent conveyance or similar law, then, if such payment is recovered by, or paid over to, such receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other similar Person, the Guarantor Senior Debt or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be deemed to be reinstated and outstanding as if such payment had not occurred.

(c) It is further agreed that any diminution (whether pursuant to court decree or otherwise, including without limitation for any of the reasons described in the preceding sentence) of the Guarantor's obligation to make any distribution or payment pursuant to any Guarantor Senior Debt, except to the extent such diminution occurs by reason of the repayment (which has not been disgorged or returned) of such Guarantor Senior Debt in cash or Cash Equivalents, shall have no force or effect for purposes of the subordination provisions contained in this Article X, with any turnover of payments as otherwise calculated pursuant to this Section 12.03 to be made as if no such diminution had occurred.

(d) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of any Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by any Holder when such payment or distribution is prohibited by this Section 12.03, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amount of Guarantor Senior Debt held by such holders) or their respective Representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Guarantor Senior Debt may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of Guarantor Senior

Debt remaining unpaid until all such Guarantor Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents, after giving effect to any concurrent payment, distribution or provision therefor to or for the holders of such Guarantor Senior Debt.

Section 12.04 Payments May Be Paid Prior to Dissolution.

Nothing contained in this Article XII or elsewhere in this Supplemental Indenture shall prevent (i) any Guarantor, except under the conditions described in Sections 12.02 and 12.03, from making payments at any time for the purpose of making payments on Guarantee Obligations, or from depositing with the Trustee any monies for such payments, or (ii) in the absence of actual knowledge by the Trustee that a given payment would be prohibited by Section 12.02 or 12.03, the application by the Trustee of any monies deposited with it by or on behalf of a Guarantor for the purpose of making such payments on Guarantee Obligations to the Holders entitled thereto unless at least one Business Day prior to the date upon which such payment would otherwise become due and payable the Trustee shall have actually received the written notice provided for in Section 12.13 and in the first sentence of Section 10.02(b) or in the last sentence of this Section 12.04 (provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders receiving any payments made in contravention of Sections 12.02 and/or 12.03 (and the respective such payments) shall otherwise be subject to the provisions of Section 12.02 and Section 12.03). Each Guarantor shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of such Guarantor, although any delay or failure to give any such notice shall have no effect on the subordination provisions contained herein.

Section 12.05 Holders To Be Subrogated to Rights of Holders of Guarantor Senior Debt.

Subject to the payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all Guarantor Senior Debt, the Holders shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt of such Guarantor to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of such Guarantor applicable to such Guarantor Senior Debt until all amounts owing on or in respect of the Guarantee Obligations shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no such payments or distributions to the holders of such Guarantor Senior Debt by or on behalf of such Guarantor, or by or on behalf of the Holders by virtue of this Article XII, which otherwise would have been made to the Holders shall, as between such Guarantor and the Holders, be deemed to be a payment by such Guarantor to or on account of such Guarantor Senior Debt, it being understood that the provisions of this Article XII are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt, on the other hand.

Section 12.06 Guarantee Obligations of the Guarantors Unconditional.

Nothing contained in this Article XII or elsewhere in this Supplemental Indenture or in the Guarantees is intended to or shall impair, as among the Guarantors, their creditors other than the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt, and the Holders, the obligation of the Guarantors, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders all amounts due and payable under the Guarantees as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders and creditors of the Guarantors other than the holders of the Guarantor Senior Debt, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent any Holder or the Trustee on its behalf from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Supplemental Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article XII, of the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt in respect of cash, property or securities of the Guarantors received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

Section 12.07 Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating.

Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of the Guarantor Senior Debt, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative.

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of a Guarantor referred to in this Article XII, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article IX of the Base Indenture, and the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization or similar case or proceeding is pending, or upon a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or the Holders, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Guarantor Senior Debt and other Indebtedness of such Guarantor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article XII. Nothing in this Article XII shall apply to the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee in its capacity as such under or pursuant to Section 9.06 of the Base Indenture. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself or itself to be a holder of the Guarantor Senior Debt (or a trustee on behalf of, or other representative of, such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of such Guarantor Senior Debt or a trustee or representative on behalf of any such holder.

In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that any evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of the Guarantor Senior Debt to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article XII, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of the Guarantor Senior Debt held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article XII, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.

Section 12.08 Subordination Rights Not Impaired by Acts or Omissions of the Guarantors or Holders of Guarantor Senior Debt.

No right of any present or future holders of any Guarantor Senior Debt to enforce subordination as provided herein shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Guarantor or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by any Guarantor with the terms of this Supplemental Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.

Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee, without incurring responsibility to the Trustee or the Holders and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article XII or the obligations hereunder of the Holders to the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Guarantor Senior Debt, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Guarantor Senior Debt, or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Guarantor Senior Debt is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Guarantor Senior Debt; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of Guarantor Senior Debt; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Guarantors and any other Person.

Section 12.09 Holders Authorize Trustee To Effectuate Subordination of Guarantee Obligations.

Each Holder, by its acceptance of the Guarantee Obligations, authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, as between the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt and the Holders, the subordination provided in this Article XII, and appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for such purposes, including, in the event of any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of any Guarantor (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of credits or otherwise) tending towards liquidation of the business and assets of any Guarantor, the filing of a claim for the unpaid balance under its Guarantee Obligations and accrued interest in the form required in those proceedings.

If the Trustee does not file a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required in such proceeding prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim or claims, then the holders of the Guarantor Senior Debt or their Representative shall have the right to file and are or is hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee or the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt or their Representative to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Guarantee Obligations or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee or the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt or their Representative to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 12.10 This Article XII Not To Prevent Events of Default.

The failure to make a payment on account of principal of or interest on the Guarantee Obligations by reason of any provision of this Article XII will not be construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default.

Section 12.11 Amendments or Modifications to Article XII.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Supplemental Indenture, no amendment or modification to any provision of this Article XII or the related definitions used herein (other than to cure any ambiguity, defect, mistake or inconsistency herein, so long as such amendment or modification does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of any Guarantor Senior Debt without the consent of such holder of Guarantor Senior Debt) shall be permitted without the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes) or, if required by Section 9.02(7), by each Holder affected.

Section 12.12 Acceleration of Notes.

If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify holders of Guarantor Senior Debt of the acceleration.

Section 12.13 Notice to Trustee; Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.

Each Guarantor shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to such Guarantor which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Guarantee Obligations or the Notes pursuant to the provisions of this Article XII, although any delay or failure to give any such notice shall have no effect on the subordination provisions contained herein.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article XII or any other provision of the Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee, and (in the absence of actual knowledge that the respective payment will violate the applicable provisions of this Article XII or Article X) the Trustee and the Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes, unless the Trustee shall have received at least one Business Day prior to the date of such payment written notice of facts that would

cause the payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Article XII (although the receipt of such payment shall otherwise be subject to the applicable provisions of this Article XII) or Article X (although receipt of such payment shall otherwise be subject to the applicable provisions of Article X). Only the Company, a Guarantor, a holder of Senior Debt or a Representative therefor may give the notice. Nothing in this Article XII shall impair the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee in its capacity as such under or pursuant to Section 9.06 of the Base Indenture. Nothing in this Section 12.13 is intended to or shall relieve any Holder of Notes from the obligations imposed under Sections 12.02(c) and 12.03(c) with respect to other distributions received in violation of the provisions hereof.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold the Guarantor Senior Debt with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights.

HOLLYWOOD ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION
9.625% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

1. Interest. Hollywood Entertainment Corporation, an Oregon corporation (the "Company"), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at % per annum. The Company shall pay interest semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an "Interest Payment Date"). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be [ ]. The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest, if any (without regard to any applicable grace periods), from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Notes to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on March 1 and September 1 immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date (each, a "Regular Record Date"), even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 1.07 of the Supplemental Indenture referred to below with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal and premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payments of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders, and provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest and premium, if any, on all Global Notes. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, BNY Western Trust Company, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

4. Indenture. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (the "Securities") issued under an indenture, dated as of January 25, 2002 (the "Base Indenture"), as amended by the Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 18, 2002 (the "Supplemental Indenture" and, together with the Base Indenture, the "Indenture"), between the Company and BNY Western Trust Company, as trustee (the "Trustee"), and is one of the "Notes" referred to in the Supplemental Indenture, to which the Base Indenture, Supplemental Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Notes shall be known and designated as the "9.625% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011." The aggregate principal amount of the Initial Notes to be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee shall be an amount up to $225,000,000 (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, Notes pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.07, 3.05 or 10.06 of the Base

A-3

Indenture). The aggregate principal amount of Additional Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture on one or more occasions is unlimited; provided the issuance of any Additional Notes is subject to compliance with Section 5.01 of the Supplemental Indenture. Unless otherwise expressly specified, references in the Note to specific Article or Section numbers refer to Articles and Sections contained in the Supplemental Indenture, and not the Base Indenture or any other document.

5. Subordination. The Notes are subordinated in right of payment, in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Indenture, to the prior payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all Senior Debt of the Company, whether outstanding on the date of the Indenture or thereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed. The Guarantees of each of the Guarantors are subordinated in right of payment, in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Indenture, to the Guarantor Senior Debt of each Guarantor on the same basis as the Notes are subordinated to the Senior Debt of the Company. Each Holder by its acceptance hereof agrees to be bound by such provisions and authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee, on its behalf, to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided for in the Indenture.

6. Optional Redemption.

(a) Except as set forth in subparagraph (b) of this Paragraph 6, the Notes are not redeemable before March 15, 2007. Thereafter, the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof) if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on March 15 of the years indicated below:

Year	Percentage
2007	104.813	%
2008	102.406	%
2009 and thereafter	100.000	%

In addition, the Company must pay accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes redeemed.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time, or from time to time, on or prior to March 15, 2006, the Company may, at its option, use the net cash proceeds from one or more Public Equity Offerings to redeem up to 35% of the principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture at a redemption price of [ ]% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of redemption; provided that:

(i) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately after any such redemption; and

(ii) the Company makes such redemption not more than 90 days after the consummation of any such Public Equity Offering.

7. Mandatory Redemption. The Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments with respect to the Notes.

8. Repurchase at Option of Holder.

(a) If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder will have the right, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, to require that the Company purchase all or a portion of such Holder's Notes pursuant to the offer described in the Indenture (the "Change of Control Offer") pursuant to Section 5.08, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of purchase. Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control occurred, the Company must send, by first-class mail, a notice to each Holder, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the

A-4

purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 45 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the "Change of Control Payment Date").

(b) If the Company or a Subsidiary consummates any Asset Sale, under certain circumstances the Company is required to commence an offer to all Holders of Notes (an "Excess Proceeds Offer") pursuant to Section 5.03. The offer price for the Notes (the "Excess Proceeds Offer Amount") will be at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer is less than the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the Company (or such Subsidiary) may use such remaining Net Proceeds Offer Amount for general corporate purposes or for any other purpose not prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof exceeds the amount of Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive a Net Proceeds Offer from the Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Notes.

9. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be mailed, by first-class mail, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption, unless the Company fails to make such payment.

10. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

11. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

12. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, if any, voting as a single class, and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, if any, voting as a single class. Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to provide for the assumption of the Company's or Guarantor's obligations to Holders of the Notes in case of a merger or consolidation, to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, to comply with the requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, to allow any Guarantor to

A-5

execute a supplemental indenture to the Indenture and/or a Guarantee with respect to the Notes or to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture of a successor Trustee.

13. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default are set forth in the Indenture.

If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare the principal of and accrued interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy with respect to the Company, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium or additional interest, if any, or interest on the Notes or in respect of a section of the Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

14. Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

15. No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any of the Guarantors, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or such Guarantor under the Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

16. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

17. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

18. CUSIP Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

The Company will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to:
