Section 2.11 Temporary Notes. (a) Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

The Company in issuing the Notes may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

In the event that, pursuant to Sections 4.10 and 4.14 hereof, the Company shall be required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase their respective Notes (a "REPURCHASE OFFER"), it shall follow the procedures specified below. The Repurchase Offer shall remain open for a period of not less than 30 and not more than 60 Business Days following its commencement and no longer, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the "OFFER PERIOD"). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the "PURCHASE DATE"), the Company shall purchase the principal amount of Notes required to be purchased pursuant to Sections 4.10 and 4.14 hereof (the "OFFER AMOUNT") or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered in response to the Repurchase Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made. If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Repurchase Offer. Upon the commencement of a Repurchase Offer, the Company shall send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Repurchase Offer. The Repurchase Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Repurchase Offer, shall state: (i) that the Repurchase Offer is being made pursuant to Section 4.10 or Section 4.14 hereof, and the length of time the Repurchase Offer shall remain open; (ii) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date; (iii) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrete or accrue interest and Liquidated Damages, if any; (iv) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note (or portion thereof) accepted for payment pursuant to the Repurchase Offer shall cease to accrete or accrue interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, after the Purchase Date; (v) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Repurchase Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in integral multiples of $1,000 only; (vi) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Repurchase Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled "Option 48 of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date; (vii) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Note purchased; (viii) that, if the aggregate amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased pursuant to the terms of Section 3.02 hereof (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Trustee so that only Notes in denominations of $1,000, or integral multiples thereof, shall be purchased); and (ix) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer). On the Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes (or portions thereof) tendered pursuant to the Repurchase Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, 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 3.09. The Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of Notes tendered by such Holder, as the case may be, and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company shall promptly issue a new Note. The Trustee, upon written request from the Company shall authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount at maturity 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 respective Holder thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Repurchase Offer on the Purchase Date. The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Excess Proceeds Offer. Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof. 49 Section 3.10 Application of Trust Money. All money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.02 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. (b) The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain 50 an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

The Company will also be required (i) to supply to the Trustee and each Holder, or supply to the Trustee for forwarding to each such Holder, without cost to such Holder, copies of such reports and other documents within 15 days after the date on which the Company files such reports and documents with the SEC or the date on which the Company would be required to file such reports and documents if the Company were so required and (ii) if filing such reports and documents with the SEC is not accepted by the SEC or is prohibited under the Exchange Act, to supply at the Company's cost copies of such reports and documents to any prospective Holder promptly upon written request. In addition, the Company has agreed that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, it will furnish to the Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information specified in Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. (b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, so long as the Parent guarantees the Notes, the reports, information and other documents required to be filed and provided as described above may be those of the Parent, rather than the Company, so long as such filings (i) would satisfy the requirements of the Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) disclose the Company's results of operations and financial condition in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section in at least such detail as would be required if the Company were filing such report.

(b) If required under Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, the year-end financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.03(a) above shall be accompanied by a written statement of the Company's independent public accountants (which shall be a firm of established national reputation) that in making the examination necessary for certification of such financial statements, nothing has come to their attention that would lead them to believe that the Company has violated any provisions of Article Four or Article Five hereof or, if any such violation has occurred, specifying the nature and period of existence thereof, it being understood that such accountants shall not be liable directly or indirectly to any Person for any failure to obtain knowledge of any such violation. (c) The Company shall, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. Section 4.05 Taxes. The Company shall pay, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, any material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes. Section 4.06 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Company and each of the Guarantors covenant (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that they 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 4.07 Restricted Payments. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, take any of the following actions: (i) declare or pay any dividend on, or make any distribution to holders of, any shares of the Capital Stock of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, other than (i) dividends or distributions payable solely in Qualified Equity Interests or (ii) dividends or distributions by a Restricted Subsidiary payable to the Company or a Wholly Owned 52 Restricted Subsidiary or to all holders of Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary on a pro rata basis;

unless at the time of, and immediately after giving effect to, the proposed Restricted Payment: (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) the Company would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a); and (iii) the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments made after the Reference Date does not exceed the sum of: (A) 50% of the aggregate Consolidated Net Income of the Company during the period (taken as one accounting period) from the first day of the Company's first fiscal quarter commencing after October 30, 2001 to the last day of the Company's most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such proposed Restricted Payment (or, if such aggregate cumulative Consolidated Net Income is a loss, 100% of such amount); plus (B) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company after the Reference Date as a capital contribution or from the issuance or sale (other than to a Subsidiary) of either (1) Qualified Equity Interests of the Company or (2) debt securities or Disqualified Stock that have been converted into or exchanged for Qualified Stock of the Company, together with the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company at the time of such conversion or exchange. 53 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may take the following actions, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur: (i) the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if at the declaration date such payment would not have been prohibited by the foregoing provisions;

(v) the repurchase of any Subordinated Indebtedness at a purchase price not greater than 101% of the principal amount of such Subordinated Indebtedness in the event of a Change of Control in accordance with provisions similar to Section 4.14 hereof; provided that prior to or simultaneously with such repurchase, the Company has made the Change of Control Offer as provided in Section 4.14 hereof with respect to the Notes and has repurchased all Notes validly tendered for payment in connection with such Change of Control Offer; (vi) within 90 days after the completion of an Excess Proceeds Offer pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof (including the purchase of all Notes tendered), any purchase or redemption of Indebtedness of the Company that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and that is required to be repurchased or redeemed pursuant to the terms thereof as a result of the related Asset Sale, at a purchase price not greater than 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof (plus accrued and unpaid interest); (vii) the purchase, redemption, acquisition, cancellation or other retirement for value of shares of Capital Stock of the Company, options on any such shares or related stock appreciation rights or similar securities, or any dividend, distribution or advance to the Parent for the purchase, redemption, acquisition, cancellation or other retirement for value of shares of Capital Stock of the Parent, options on any such shares or related stock 54 appreciation rights or similar securities, in each case held by officers, directors or employees or former officers, directors or employees (or their estates or beneficiaries under their estates) of the Company, the Parent or any Subsidiary of the Company, as applicable, or by any employee benefit plan of the Company, the Parent or any Subsidiary of the Company, as applicable, upon death, disability, retirement or termination of employment or pursuant to the terms of any employee benefit plan or any other agreement under which such shares of stock or related rights were issued; provided that the aggregate amount of cash applied by the Company for such purchase, redemption, acquisition, cancellation or other retirement of such shares of Capital Stock of the Company or the Parent after the Reference Date does not exceed $7.5 million in the aggregate (excluding for purposes of calculating such amount the aggregate amount received by any Person in connection with such purchase, redemption, acquisition, cancellation or other retirement of such shares that is concurrently used to repay loans made to such Person by the Company pursuant to clause (f) of the definition of "Permitted Investment"); (viii) the payment of dividends or other distributions or the making of loans or advances to the Parent in amounts required for the Parent to pay franchise taxes and other fees required to maintain its existence and provide for all other customary operating costs of the Parent to the extent attributable to the ownership and operation of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, in respect of director fees and expenses, administrative, legal and accounting services provided by third parties and other customary costs and expenses including all costs and expenses with respect to filings with the SEC;

provided that (x) the amount of dividends paid pursuant to this clause (viii) to enable the Parent to pay Federal and state income taxes (and franchise taxes based on income) at any time shall not exceed the amount of such Federal and state income taxes (and franchise taxes based on income) actually owing by the Parent at such time to the respective tax authorities for the respective period and (y) any refunds received by the Parent attributable to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall promptly be remitted by the Parent to the Company through a contribution or purchase of common stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company; (x) the payment of dividends or other distributions or the making of loans or advances to the Parent in amounts required for the Parent to pay to the Equity Sponsors an annual amount not to exceed $500,000 for payment of management consulting or financial advisory services provided to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries; (xi) other Restricted Payments not to exceed $10 million at any one time outstanding; 55 (xii) repurchase or repurchases of Existing Notes; provided that (1) at the time of such repurchase or repurchases, no amount is outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement or any Indebtedness incurred to refinance or replace the Revolving Credit Agreement, (2) the aggregate amount of cash (or fair market value of any other assets) applied to such repurchase or repurchases under this clause (xii) does not exceed $25 million and (3) the amount of cash and Cash Equivalents held by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries immediately after giving effect to such repurchase or repurchases shall not be less than $29 million; and (xiii) repurchase or repurchases of Existing Notes; provided that (1) such repurchase or repurchases occur on the Issue Date or within two Business Days from the Issue Date, (2) the aggregate amount of cash (or fair market value of any other assets) applied to such repurchase or repurchases under this clause (xiii) does not exceed $50 million and (3) the amount of cash and cash equivalent held by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries immediately after giving effect to such repurchase or repurchases shall not be less than $29 million. (c) The actions described in clauses (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x) and (xi) of Section 4.07(b) will be Restricted Payments that will be permitted to be taken in accordance with this Section 4.07 but will reduce the amount that would otherwise be available for Restricted Payments under clause (iv)(iii) of Section 4.07(a) hereof and the actions described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (xii) and (xiii) of Section 4.07(b) will be Restricted Payments that will be permitted to be taken in accordance with this Section 4.07 and will not reduce the amount that would otherwise be available for Restricted Payments under clause (iv)(iii) of Section 4.07(a) hereof. For the purpose of making any calculations under this Indenture (i) if a Restricted Subsidiary is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the Company will be deemed to have made an Investment in an amount equal to the greater of the fair market value or net book value of the net assets of such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such designation as determined by the Board of the Company, and (ii) any property transferred to or from an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be valued at fair market value at the time of such transfer, as determined by the Board of the Company. The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair market value of any non-cash Restricted Payment shall be determined by the Board of the Company whose resolution with respect thereto shall be delivered to the Trustee, such determination to be based upon an opinion or appraisal issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing if such fair market value exceeds $10 million. Not later than the date of making any Restricted Payment, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that such Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth the basis upon which the calculations required under this Section 4.07 were computed, together with a copy of any fairness opinion or appraisal required by this Indenture. If the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments calculated under the foregoing provision includes an Investment in an Unrestricted Subsidiary or other Person that thereafter 56 becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments calculated under the foregoing provision will be reduced by the lesser of (x) the net asset value of such Subsidiary at the time it becomes a Restricted Subsidiary and (y) the initial amount of such Investment. If an Investment resulted in the making of a Restricted Payment, the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments calculated under the foregoing provision will be reduced by the amount of any net reduction in such Investment (resulting from the payment of interest or dividends, loan repayment, transfer of assets or otherwise, other than the redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary or other Person as a Restricted Subsidiary), to the extent such net reduction is not included in the Company's Consolidated Net Income; provided that the total amount by which the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments may be reduced may not exceed the lesser of (x) the cash proceeds received by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such net reduction and (y) the initial amount of such Investment. In computing the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for purposes of Section 4.07(a)(iv)(iii)(A) hereof, (i) the Company may use audited financial statements for the portions of the relevant period for which audited financial statements are available on the date of determination and unaudited financial statements and other current financial data based on the books and records of the Company for the remaining portion of such period and (ii) the Company will be permitted to rely in good faith on the financial statements and other financial data derived from its books and records that are available on the date of determination. If the Company makes a Restricted Payment that, at the time of the making of such Restricted Payment, would in the good faith determination of the Company be permitted under the requirements of this Indenture, such Restricted Payment will be deemed to have been made in compliance with this Indenture notwithstanding any subsequent adjustments made in good faith to the Company's financial statements affecting Consolidated Net Income of the Company for any period. Section 4.08 Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction of any kind on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to (i) pay dividends, in cash or otherwise, or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock, (ii) pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary, (iii) make loans or advances to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary or (iv) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary. (b) However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of: (i) any agreement (including the Credit Agreement) in effect on the Issue Date; 57 (ii) customary non-assignment provisions of any lease, license or other contract entered into in the ordinary course of business by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; (iii) the refinancing or successive refinancing of Indebtedness incurred under the agreements (including the Credit Agreement) in effect on the Issue Date, so long as such encumbrances or restrictions are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in such original agreement; (iv) any agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in existence at the time of such acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; (v) purchase money obligations for acquired property permitted under Section 4.09 hereof that impose restrictions of the nature described in clause (iv) of Section 4.08(a) hereof on the property so acquired; (vi) any agreement for the sale of a Restricted Subsidiary or an asset that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary or transfers of such asset pending its sale; (vii) secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.12 hereof that limits the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such Indebtedness; (viii) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by leases entered into in the ordinary course of business; (ix) Non-Recourse Indebtedness of any Permitted Joint Venture permitted to be incurred under this Indenture; (x) applicable law or regulation; (xi) a Receivables Program with respect to a Receivables Subsidiary; and (xii) customary provisions in joint venture, limited liability company operating, partnership, shareholder and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business reasonably consistent with past practice by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary. Section 4.09 Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock. (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, issue, assume, guarantee or in any manner become directly or indirectly liable for the payment of, or otherwise incur (collectively, "INCUR"), any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness and the issuance of Disqualified Stock), except that the Company and any 58 Subsidiary Guarantors may incur Indebtedness if, at the time of such event, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the immediately preceding four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available, taken as one accounting period, would have been equal to at least 2.0 to 1.0. (b) In making the foregoing calculation, pro forma effect will be given to: (i) the incurrence of such Indebtedness and (if applicable) the application of the net proceeds therefrom, including to refinance other Indebtedness, as if such Indebtedness was incurred and the application of such proceeds occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period; (ii) the incurrence, repayment or retirement of any other Indebtedness by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period as if such Indebtedness was incurred, repaid or retired at the beginning of such four-quarter period; and (iii) the acquisition (whether by purchase, merger or otherwise) or disposition (whether by sale, merger or otherwise) of any company, entity or business acquired or disposed of by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, since the first day of such four-quarter period, as if such acquisition or disposition occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period. In making a computation under the foregoing clause (i) or (ii), (A) the amount of Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility will be computed based on the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during such four-quarter period, (B) if such Indebtedness bears, at the option of the Company, a fixed or floating rate of interest, interest thereon will be computed by applying, at the option of the Company, either the fixed or floating rate, and (C) the amount of any Indebtedness that bears interest at a floating rate will be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if such Hedging Obligations have a remaining term at the date of determination in excess of 12 months). (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, and may permit its Restricted Subsidiaries to, incur the following Indebtedness ("PERMITTED INDEBTEDNESS"): (i) Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Credit Agreement (and the incurrence by any Subsidiary Guarantor of guarantees thereof) in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $125 million, less (A) any amounts applied to the permanent reduction of such credit facilities pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.10 hereof and (B) up to $50 million of cash (or the fair market value of any other assets) to the extent applied to repurchase Existing Notes on the Issue Date or within two Business Days from the Issue Date; (ii) Indebtedness represented by the Notes (other than the Additional Notes) and the related Guarantees; (iii) Existing Indebtedness; 59 (iv) the incurrence by the Company of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net cash proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance or replace, any Indebtedness that is permitted to be incurred under clause (ii) or (iii) above; (v) Indebtedness owed by the Company to any Restricted Subsidiary or owed by any Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (provided that such Indebtedness is held by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary); provided that: (A) any Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor owing to any such Restricted Subsidiary is unsecured and subordinated in right of payment from and after such time as the Notes shall become due and payable (whether at Stated Maturity, acceleration, or otherwise) to the payment and performance of the Company's obligations under the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations under its Guarantee, as the case may be; and (B) (x) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof and (y) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof, shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (v); (vi) Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary under Hedging Obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business; (vii) Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary consisting of guarantees, indemnities or obligations in respect of purchase price adjustments in connection with the acquisition or disposition of assets, including, without limitation, shares of Capital Stock; (viii) either (A) Capitalized Lease Obligations of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or (B) Indebtedness under purchase money mortgages or secured by purchase money security interests so long as (x) such Indebtedness is not secured by any property or assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary other than the property and assets so acquired and (y) such Indebtedness is created within 90 days of the acquisition of the related property; provided that the aggregate amount of Indebtedness under clauses (A) and (B) does not exceed 15% of Consolidated Tangible Assets less the amount of any Indebtedness incurred under clause (xvi) below at any one time outstanding; (ix) Guarantees by any Restricted Subsidiary made in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.18 hereof; (x) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently (except in the case of daylight overdrafts) drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided that such Indebtedness is extinguished within two business days of incurrence; 60 (xi) Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries represented by letters of credit for the account of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in order to provide security for workers' compensation claims, payment obligations in connection with self-insurance or similar requirements in the ordinary course of business;

(xiv) Indebtedness of the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary or any Permitted Joint Venture not permitted by any other clause of this definition, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $30 million at any one time outstanding;

and (xvi) the incurrence of Indebtedness represented by Additional Notes and the related Guarantees, the net cash proceeds of which are used to satisfy, extinguish and retire the Company and/or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries' obligations under any Indebtedness incurred under clause (viii) above; provided that (A) any property or assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary securing such Indebtedness, the obligations of which are being so satisfied, extinguished and retired, are fully released from such security and (B) such property or assets are expressly made subject to a first priority perfected Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent. (d) The Company will not incur any Indebtedness that is subordinate in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company unless it is subordinate in right of payment to the Notes to the same extent. The Company will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to incur any Indebtedness that is subordinate in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor unless it is subordinate in right of payment to such Subsidiary Guarantor's Guarantee to the same extent. For purposes of the foregoing, no Indebtedness will be deemed to be subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, solely by reason of any Liens or Guarantees arising or created in respect thereof or by virtue of the fact that the holders of any secured Indebtedness have entered into intercreditor agreements giving one or more of such holders priority over the other holders in the collateral held by them. (e) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that any proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (i) through (xvi) above, or is entitled to be incurred 61 pursuant to Section 4.09(a) hereof, the Company will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09. Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement incurred on the Issue Date shall be deemed to have been incurred on the Issue Date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (i) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness. Section 4.10 Asset Sales. (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any Asset Sale unless: (i) the consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary for such Asset Sale is not less than the fair market value of the assets sold evidenced by a resolution of the board of directors of such entity set forth in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee; (ii) the consideration received by the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such Asset Sale consists of at least 75% cash or Cash Equivalents (for purposes of this clause (ii), cash and Cash Equivalents includes (1) if such Asset Sale does not involve Collateral, any liabilities (as reflected in the Company's consolidated balance sheet) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee) that are assumed by any transferee of any such assets or other property in such Asset Sale, and where the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary is released from any further liability in connection therewith with respect to such liabilities, (2) any securities, notes or other similar obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted within 180 days of the consummation of the related Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash and Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the net cash proceeds or the Cash Equivalents (net of related costs) received upon such conversion), (3) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary in the Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, as determined by the Board of the Company, taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of: (A) $10 million; and (B) 15% of Consolidated Tangible Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Noncash Consideration (with the fair market value of each item of such Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value); and (iii) if such Asset Sale involves the transfer of Collateral, (1) all consideration received in such Asset Sale shall consist of assets that are not Excluded Assets; and 62 (2) all consideration (including cash and cash equivalents) received in such Asset Sale shall be expressly made subject to a first priority perfected Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) in favor of the Collateral Agent. (b) If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary engages in an Asset Sale, the Company may, at its option, within 12 months after such Asset Sale (i) apply all or a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds to repay or purchase Applicable Indebtedness (and, in the case of revolving loans and other similar obligations, permanently reduce the commitment thereunder), or (ii) invest (or enter into a legally binding agreement to invest) all or a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in properties and assets to replace the properties and assets that were the subject of the Asset Sale or in properties and assets that will be used in businesses of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, existing on the Issue Date or in businesses the same, similar or reasonably related thereto; provided, that, to the extent that such Net Cash Proceeds represent proceeds of Collateral, (A) none of such properties and assets obtained shall consist of Excluded Assets and (B) such properties and assets obtained shall be expressly made subject to a first priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) with respect to the Notes. If any such legally binding agreement to invest such Net Cash Proceeds is terminated, the Company may, within 90 days of such termination or within 12 months of such Asset Sale, whichever is later, invest such Net Cash Proceeds as provided in clause (i) or (ii) (without regard to the parenthetical contained in such clause (ii)) above. Pending the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in a manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. The amount of such Net Cash Proceeds not so used as set forth above in this paragraph shall constitute "EXCESS PROCEEDS". (c) When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10 million, the Company will, within 30 days thereafter, make an offer to purchase (an "EXCESS PROCEEDS OFFER") from all Holders of Notes on a pro rata basis, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture, the maximum principal amount (expressed as a multiple of $1,000) of Notes that may be purchased with the Excess Proceeds, at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date such offer to purchase is consummated. To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered pursuant to such offer to purchase is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use such deficiency for general corporate purposes. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by holders thereof exceeds the Excess Proceeds, the Notes to be purchased will be selected on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of such offer to purchase, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero. Section 4.11 Transactions with Affiliates. (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, enter into or suffer to exist any transaction with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company ("Interested Persons"), unless (i) such transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could have been obtained in an arm's-length transaction with third parties who are not Interested Persons and (ii) the Company delivers to the Trustee (x) with respect to any transaction or series of related transactions entered into after the Issue Date involving aggregate payments in excess of $5 million, a resolution of the Company's Board set forth in an officers' 63 certificate certifying that such transaction or transactions complies with clause (i) above and that such transaction or transactions have been approved by the Board (including a majority of the Disinterested Directors) of the Company and (y) with respect to a transaction or series of related transactions involving aggregate payments equal to or greater than $10 million, a written opinion as to the fairness to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of such transaction or series of transactions from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm, in each case of national standing. (b) The foregoing Section 4.11(a) will not restrict: (i) transactions among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries; (ii) the Company from paying reasonable and customary regular compensation, indemnification, reimbursement and fees to officers of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and to directors of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary who are not employees of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; (iii) transactions permitted by Section 4.07; (iv) advances to employees for moving, entertainment and travel expenses and similar expenditures in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice; (v) any Receivables Program of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; (vi) the agreements listed on Schedule II to this Indenture, in each case as in effect as of the Issue Date or any amendment thereto (so long as the amended agreement is not more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes in any material respect than such agreement immediately prior to such amendment) or any transaction contemplated thereby; and (vii) issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Parent or the Company to Affiliates. Section 4.12 Liens. The Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of its subsidiaries (other than Unrestricted Subsidiaries) to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind upon any of their property or assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom or any right to receive income therefrom, except Permitted Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind upon any of their property or assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom or any right to receive income therefrom, except Permitted Liens. 64 Section 4.13 Corporate Existence. Subject to Article Five, the Parent and the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises of the Parent, the Company and each Subsidiary; provided that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as a whole and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. Section 4.14 Offer to Repurchase upon a Change of Control. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of such Holder's Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the "CHANGE OF CONTROL OFFER") at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (the "CHANGE OF CONTROL PAYMENT"). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall notify the Trustee thereof and mail a notice, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating (1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.14 and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment; (2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or such later date as is necessary to comply with the requirements under the Exchange Act (the "CHANGE OF CONTROL PAYMENT DATE"); (3) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest; (4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date; (5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Notes completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; (6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have the Notes purchased; and (7) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof. The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture relating to such Change of Control Offer, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof. 65 (b) By 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers' Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes so tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.14, the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.14 and Section 3.09 hereof and all other provisions of this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

Section 4.18 Limitations on Issuances of Guarantees of Indebtedness. (a) The Company will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, directly or indirectly, to guarantee, assume or in any other manner become liable for the payment of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Indebtedness of any other Restricted Subsidiary, unless (i) such Restricted Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental indenture providing for a guarantee of payment of the Notes by such Restricted Subsidiary on a senior secured basis on the same terms as set forth in this Indenture and (ii) with respect to any guarantee of Subordinated Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary, any such guarantee is subordinated to such Restricted Subsidiary's guarantee with respect to the Notes at 67 least to the same extent as such Subordinated Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes, provided that the foregoing provision will not be applicable to any guarantee by any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary.

(a) If an Event of Default (other than as specified in Section 6.01(viii) or (ix) hereof) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Note then outstanding may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders will, declare the principal of, and accrued interest on, all of the outstanding Notes immediately due and payable and, upon any such declaration, such principal and such interest will become due and payable immediately. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of any such acceleration of the Notes pursuant to this Section 6.02(a). If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(viii) or (ix) hereof occurs and is continuing, then the principal of and accrued interest on all of the outstanding Notes will ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. (b) At any time after a declaration of acceleration under this Indenture, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind such declaration and its consequences if: (i) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (A) all overdue interest on, and Liquidated Damages with respect to, all Notes, (B) all unpaid principal of (and premium, if any, on) any outstanding Notes that has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by the Notes, (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest and overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes and (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee under this Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and (ii) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of amounts of principal of (or premium, if any, on), or interest on or Liquidated Damages with respect to, the Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived. No such rescission will affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 72 (c) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, in the event of a declaration of acceleration in respect of the Notes because an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(v) shall have occurred and be continuing and provided no judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically annulled if the Indebtedness that is the subject of such Event of Default has been discharged or the holders thereof have rescinded their declaration of acceleration in respect of such Indebtedness, and written notice of such discharge or rescission, as the case may be, shall have been given to the Trustee by the Company and countersigned by the holders of such Indebtedness or a trustee, fiduciary or agent for such holders, within 30 days after such declaration of acceleration in respect of the Notes, and no other Event of Default has occurred during such 30-day period which has not been cured or waived during such period. Section 6.03 Other Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest, and Liquidated Damages, if any, with respect to, the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. (b) The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee, may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase) (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration). The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that the requisite percentage of Holders have consented to such waiver and attaching copies of such consents. In case of any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the Notes, respectively. This Section 6.04 shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA and such Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the Notes, as permitted by the TIA. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 73 Section 6.05 Control by Majority. Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. 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 or Liquidated Damages, if any) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits. (a) A Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture, or the Notes or the Guarantees only if: (i) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; (iii) such Holder of a Note or Holders of Notes offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense that might be incurred by it in connection with the request or direction; (iv) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and (v) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request. (b) A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note. Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, interest on, and Liquidated Damages, if any, with respect to, the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. 74 Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(i) or (ii) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, interest, and Liquidated Damages, if any, remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent lawful, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other securities or property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. Section 6.10 Priorities. (a) If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out the money in the following order: First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; Second: to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, ratably, without 75 preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, interest, and Liquidated Damages, if any, respectively; and Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. (b) The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10. Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than ten percent in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. ARTICLE SEVEN TRUSTEE Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and is actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

(e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. (f) Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds and need not be held in an interest-bearing account, in each case except to the extent required by law or by any other provision of this Indenture.

(g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of such event is sent to the Trustee in accordance with Section 13.02 hereof, and such notice references the Notes. Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may become a creditor of, or otherwise deal with, the Company or any of its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest as described in the Trust Indenture Act, it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof. Section 7.04 Trustee's Disclaimer.

Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice to the Holders if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes. Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes. (a) Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date hereof, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA Section 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA Section 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted).

The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable and customary fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the 81 entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees, respectively, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this 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 8.05 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Company's obligations with respect to such Notes under Article Two and Section 4.02 hereof, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company's obligations in connection therewith and (d) this Article 8.

For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby.

(b) Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized or 85 permitted by the terms of this 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 this Indenture or otherwise. Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes. (a) Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes). (b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any indenture supplemental hereto. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or its duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that unless such consent shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such consent previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect. (c) Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence reasonably 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 Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture unless such amended or supplemental Indenture directly affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this 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. (d) 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. (e) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental Indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including 86 Additional Notes, if any) may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture, or the Notes. 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): (i) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or change the coin or currency in which any Note or any premium or the interest or any Liquidated Damages thereon are payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the redemption date); (ii) amend, change or modify the obligation of the Company to make and consummate an Excess Proceeds Offer with respect to any Asset Sale in accordance with Section 4.10 or the obligation of the Company to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of Control in accordance with Section 4.14, including, in each case, amending, changing or modifying any definition relating thereto; (iii) reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding Notes, the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of, or certain defaults and their consequences provided for under, this Indenture; (iv) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes or reduce the percentage or aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes the consent of whose Holders is necessary for waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or for waiver of certain Defaults or Events of Default; (v) modify the ranking or priority of the Notes or the Guarantee of any Guarantor; (vi) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Guarantee or this Indenture other than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or (vii) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions. Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in a amended or supplemental Indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect. Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Note, even if 87 notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder. Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. (a) The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. (b) Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc. The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture or Note authorized pursuant to this Article Nine if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amendment or supplemental Indenture or Note until its Board approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture or Note, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. ARTICLE TEN COLLATERAL Section 10.01 Security Documents. (a) The payment of all Note Obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees, when due (whether on an interest payment date, at Stated Maturity, upon repurchase, upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise) shall be secured as provided in the Security Documents which the Company and the Guarantors have entered into simultaneously with the execution of this Indenture and shall be secured as provided in by all Security Documents hereafter delivered as required by this Indenture. (b) Each Holder of Notes, by its acceptance of a Note, consents and agrees to the terms of each Security Document, authorizes and directs the Trustee to appoint U.S. Bank National Association as Collateral Agent on the Issue Date and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents, and authorizes and empowers each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent as set forth in the Security Documents and to perform its respective obligations and exercise its respective rights and powers thereunder. 88 Section 10.02 Opinions of Counsel. (a) The Company and the Guarantors acknowledge that all After-Acquired Property shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Security Documents. The Company and the Guarantors shall comply with the provisions of the Security Documents with respect to Liens on After-Acquired Property. Section 10.03 Possession and Use of the Collateral. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Security Documents and this Indenture, so long as the Collateral Agent has not exercised its rights with respect to the Collateral upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Company and the Guarantors shall have the right to remain in possession and retain exclusive control of the Collateral, to operate the Collateral, to alter or repair the Collateral and to collect, invest and dispose of any income therefrom. Section 10.04 Suits to Protect the Collateral. Subject to the terms of the Security Documents, the Trustee shall have power, but without the obligation to exercise such power, to institute in its name and to maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of this Indenture or any of the Security Documents, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders of the Notes in the Collateral and in the principal, interest, issues, profits, rents, revenues and other income arising therefrom, including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the security under any of the Security Documents, or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders of the Notes or the Trustee. Section 10.05 Release of Collateral. (a) The release of any Collateral from the Lien granted under the Security Documents or the release of, in whole or in part, the Liens granted by any of the Security Documents, shall not be deemed to impair the security interests in contravention of the provisions of this Indenture if and to the extent the Collateral or Liens are released in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or of the Security Documents. To the extent applicable and subject to Section 10.06 and paragraph (c) of this Section 10.05, the Company and the Guarantors shall comply with Section 314(d) of the TIA, relating to the release of property or securities from the Lien and security interest of the Security Documents and relating to the substitution therefor of any property or securities to be subjected to the Lien and security interest of the Security Documents. Any certificate or opinion required by Section 314(d) of the TIA may be made by an Officer of the Company or the relevant Guarantor except in cases where Section 314(d) of the TIA requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent Person, which Person will be an independent engineer, appraiser or other expert selected or approved by the Trustee in the exercise of reasonable care. 89 Liens securing the Note Obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees shall, upon compliance with the condition that the Company or the Parent delivers to the Trustee all documents required by the Trust Indenture Act, automatically and without the need for any further action by any Person be released (so long as such release is in compliance with the Trust Indenture Act): (1) in whole, as to all property subject to such Liens which has been taken by eminent domain, condemnation or other similar circumstances; (2) in whole, as to all property subject to such Liens, upon: (i) payment in full of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest and premium on the Notes; or (ii) satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as set forth under Article Twelve hereof; (iii) Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of this Indenture as set forth under Article Eight hereof; or (3) in part, as to any property that (a) is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Parent, the Company, or one of their Subsidiaries in a transaction not prohibited by this Indenture, at the time of such sale, transfer or disposition, to the extent of the interest sold, transferred or disposed of or (b) is owned or at any time acquired by a Guarantor that has been released from its Guarantee, concurrently with the release of such Guarantee. (b) The Trustee shall cause the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver to the Company and the Guarantors, at the Company's and Guarantors' expense, all documents that such parties shall reasonably request to evidence such release. Such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Trustee and the Collateral Agent. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company will not be required to comply with all or any portion of Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act if it determines, in good faith based on advice of counsel, that under the terms of that section and/or any interpretation or guidance as to the meaning thereof of the SEC and its staff, including "no action" letters or exemptive orders, all or any portion of Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act is inapplicable to the released Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, certain no-action letters issued by the SEC have permitted an indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act to contain provisions permitting the release of collateral from liens under such indenture in the ordinary course of the issuer's business without requiring the issuer to provide certificates and other documents under Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act, as described below under Section 10.06 hereof. (d) If any Collateral is released in accordance with any of the Security Documents and if the Company has delivered the certificates and documents required by the Security Documents, the Trustee will determine whether it has received all documentation required by Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act in connection with such release and, based 90 on such determination and the opinion of counsel delivered pursuant to this Indenture, will deliver a certificate to the Collateral Agent setting forth such determination. Section 10.06 Permitted Ordinary Course Activities with respect to Collateral. (a) So long as the Collateral Agent has not exercised its rights with respect to the Collateral upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and such transaction would not violate the Trust Indenture Act or be prohibited by the Security Documents, the Company and the Guarantors may, without any release or consent by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, conduct ordinary course activities with respect to Collateral, including, without limitation, (i) selling or otherwise disposing of, in any transaction or series of related transactions, any property subject to the Lien of the Security Documents which has become worn out, defective or obsolete or not used or useful in the business; (ii) abandoning, terminating, canceling, releasing or making alterations in or substitutions of any leases or contracts subject to the Lien of this Indenture or any of the Security Documents; (iii) surrendering or modifying any franchise, license or permit subject to the Lien of this Indenture or any of the Security Documents which it may own or under which it may be operating; (iv) altering, repairing, replacing, changing the location or position of and adding to its structures, machinery, systems, equipment, fixtures and appurtenances; (v) granting a license of any intellectual property; (vi) selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of inventory in the ordinary course of business; (vii) making cash payments (including for the scheduled repayment of Indebtedness) from cash that is at any time part of the Collateral in the ordinary course of business that are not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture and this Security Documents; and (viii) abandoning any intellectual property which is no longer used or useful in the Company's business. (b) The Company and the Guarantors shall not be required to comply with the requirement to deliver certificates pursuant to Section 10.05(a) in respect of the release of Collateral or Liens as described in paragraph (a) of this Section 10.06, provided that the Company and the Parent shall deliver to the Collateral Agent, within 30 calendar days following the end of each six-month period beginning on January 1 and July 1 of any year, an Officers' Certificate to the effect that all releases and withdrawals during the preceding six-month period (or since the Issue Date, in the case of the first such certificate) in which no release or consent of the Collateral Agent was obtained were in the ordinary course of the Company's and the 91 Guarantors' business and were not prohibited by this Indenture or any of the Security Documents. Section 10.07 Actions by the Trustee. Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents and Article Six, the Trustee may, but without any obligation to do so, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to (i) enforce any of the terms of the Security Documents and (ii) to collect and receive all amounts payable in respect of the Obligations of the Company and any Guarantors under the Security Documents and this Indenture. The Trustee shall have the power to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient in order to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any act that may be unlawful or in violation of this Indenture or the Security Documents, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interests and those of the Holders in the Collateral. No duty beyond that set forth in Section 7.01 is imposed on the Trustee pursuant to this Section 10.07. All items to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this Article Ten shall also be delivered to the Collateral Agent. Section 10.08 Purchaser Protected. In no event shall any purchaser in good faith or other transferee of any Collateral purported to be released hereunder be bound to ascertain the authority (if any) of the Trustee to direct the Collateral Agent to execute the release or to inquire as to the satisfaction of any conditions required by the provisions hereof for the exercise of such authority or to see to the application of any consideration given by such purchaser or other transferee; nor shall any purchaser or other transferee of any Collateral permitted to be sold, disposed of or transferred by this Article Ten, be under obligation to ascertain or inquire into the authority of the Company or any Guarantor, as applicable, to make any such sale or other transfer. ARTICLE ELEVEN GUARANTEES Section 11.01 Guarantee. (a) Subject to this Article Eleven, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees on a senior secured basis to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (i) the principal of, premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful (subject in all cases to any applicable grace period provided herein), and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, 92 by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. (b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Subject to Section 6.06 hereof, each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. (c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. (d) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six hereof for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee. Section 11.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in 93 respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article Eleven, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. Section 11.03 Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. (a) To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Guarantee substantially in the form included in Exhibit E shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by any of its executive officers. (b) 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. (c) If an Officer whose signature is on this 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. (d) The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. (e) In the event that the Company creates or acquires any new Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries subsequent to the date of this Indenture, if required by Section 4.19 hereof, the Company shall cause such Subsidiaries to execute supplemental indentures to this Indenture and Guarantees in accordance with Section 4.19 hereof and this Article Eleven, to the extent applicable. Section 11.04 Releases of Guarantors.

Notwithstanding TIA Section 316(c), such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such resolution, which shall be a date not earlier than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in connection therewith or the date of the most recent list of Holders forwarded to the Trustee prior to such solicitation pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof and not later than the date such solicitation is completed. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of the then outstanding Notes have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the then outstanding Notes shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than eleven months after the record date.

Interest Payment Dates: February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1, commencing February 1, 2006. Record Dates: January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15. Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. A1-3 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Note to be signed manually or by facsimile by its duly authorized officers. INSIGHT HEALTH SERVICES CORP. By: ------------------------------------ Name: ---------------------------------- Title: --------------------------------- By: ------------------------------------ Name: ---------------------------------- Title: --------------------------------- This is one of the Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2011 described in the within-mentioned Indenture. Dated: September 22, 2005 U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee By: --------------------------------- Authorized Signatory A1-4 [Reverse Side of Note] INSIGHT HEALTH SERVICES CORP. Senior Secured Floating Rate 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. (a) The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 5.25%, as determined by the calculation agent (the "Calculation Agent"), which shall initially be the Trustee, from the date hereof until maturity and shall pay the Liquidated Damages, if any, payable pursuant to Section 5 of the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Company shall pay interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, quarterly in arrears on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 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 shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of original 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 February 1, 2006. 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 and Liquidated Damages (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. (b) The amount of interest for each day that the Notes are outstanding (the "Daily Interest Amount") will be calculated by dividing the interest rate in effect for such day by 365 (or 366, in the case of a calculation made with respect to a leap year) and multiplying the result by the principal amount of the Notes. The amount of interest to be paid on the Notes for each Interest Period will be calculated by adding the Daily Interest Amounts for each day in the Interest Period. All percentages resulting from any of the above calculations will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point being rounded upwards (e.g., 9.876545% (or 0.09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or 0.0987655)) and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards). The interest rate on the Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law. The Calculation Agent will, upon the request of the Holder of any Note, provide the interest rate then in effect with respect to the Notes. All calculations made by the Calculation Agent in the absence of manifest error will be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Company, the Guarantors and the Holders of the Notes. A1-5 2. Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the 15th day of the month next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in The City of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, 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 shall be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. 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, U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall 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. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of September 22, 2005 (the "Indenture") among the Company, the Parent, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 5. Optional Redemption. The Company shall not have the option to redeem the Notes prior to November 1, 2006. Thereafter, the Company shall have the option to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on November 1 of the years indicated below:
Year Percentage - ---- ---------- 2006.................. 103.0% 2007.................. 101.5% 2008 and thereafter... 100.0%
6. Mandatory Redemption. Except as set forth in paragraph 7 below, the Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. A1-6 7. Repurchase at Option of Holder. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of such Holder's Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the "Change of Control Offer") at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (the "Change of Control Payment"). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will notify the Trustee thereof and mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on the date specified in such notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the "Change of Control Payment Date"), pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice. (b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company may, at its option, within 12 months after such Asset Sale, (i) apply all or a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds to repay or purchase Applicable Indebtedness (and, in the case of revolving loans and other similar obligations, permanently reduce the commitment thereunder), or (ii) invest (or enter into a legally binding agreement to invest) all or a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in properties and assets to replace the properties and assets that were the subject of the Asset Sale or in properties and assets that will be used in businesses of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, existing on the Issue Date or in businesses the same, similar or reasonably related thereto; provided, that, to the extent that such Net Cash Proceeds represent proceeds of Collateral, (A) none of such properties and assets obtained shall consist of Excluded Assets and (B) such properties and assets obtained shall be expressly made subject to a first priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) with respect to the Notes. If any such legally binding agreement to invest such Net Cash Proceeds is terminated, the Company may, within 90 days of such termination or within 12 months of such Asset Sale, whichever is later, invest such Net Cash Proceeds as provided in clause (i) or (ii) (without regard to the parenthetical contained in such clause (ii)) above. Pending the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in a manner that is not prohibited by the Indenture. The amount of such Net Cash Proceeds not so used as set forth above in this paragraph shall constitute "Excess Proceeds". When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10 million, the Company will, within 30 days thereafter, make an offer to purchase (an "Excess Proceeds Offer") from all Holders of Notes on a pro rata basis, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture, the maximum principal amount (expressed as a multiple of $1,000) of Notes that may be purchased with the Excess Proceeds, at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date such offer to purchase is consummated. To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered pursuant to such offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use such deficiency for general corporate purposes. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by holders thereof exceeds the Excess Proceeds, the Notes to be purchased will be selected on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of such offer to purchase, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero. 8. Selection and Notice of Redemption If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed or purchased among the Holders of the Notes in compliance with the requirements A1-7 of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or in accordance with any other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. Notices of redemption may not be conditional. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, cease to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption. 9. 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 is not required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption. Also, the Company is not required to transfer or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed. 10. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note will be treated as its owner for all purposes. 11. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal of the then outstanding Notes and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes). Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture 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 evidence the succession of another Person to the Company and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company; to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company; to add additional Events of Default; to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture by a successor Trustee; to secure the Notes; to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture as of its date; to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental Indenture and a Guarantee with respect to the Notes; or to release Collateral from the Liens created by the Indenture or the Security Documents when permitted by the Indenture and the Security Documents. A1-8 12. Defaults and Remedies. In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to the Parent, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company specifying the respective Event of Default. 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 or Liquidated Damages, if any) 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 interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes. 13. Security Interest. The Notes will be secured, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Security Documents, by a first priority Lien on the Collateral. Each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note, (i) consents and agrees to the terms of each Security Document, (ii) authorizes and directs the Trustee to appoint U.S. Bank National Association as Collateral Agent on the Issue Date, (iii) directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents and (iv) authorizes and empowers each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent to bind the Holders of Notes as set forth in the Security Documents and to perform its respective obligations and exercise its respective rights and powers thereunder. In the event of any conflict between (a) the Indenture and (b) the Security Documents, the provisions of the Security Documents shall control unless such compliance would violate the TIA. 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 Parent, the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Parent, the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws. 16. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. 17. Additional Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes. In addition to the rights provided to Holders under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of September 22, 2005, between the Company, the A1-9 Guarantors and the parties named on the signature pages thereof or, in the case of Additional Notes, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes shall have the rights set forth in one or more registration rights agreements, if any, between the Company, the Guarantors and the other parties thereto, relating to rights given by the Company and the Guarantors to the purchasers of Additional Notes (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). 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.

Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2011 Issue Date: September 22, 2005 InSight Health Services Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company", which term includes any successor under this Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or its registered assigns, the principal sum of [Amount of Note] ($[_______]) on November 1, 2011. Interest Payment Dates: February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1, commencing on February 1, 2006. Record Dates: January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15. Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. A2-3 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Note to be signed manually or by facsimile by its duly authorized officers. INSIGHT HEALTH SERVICES CORP. By: ------------------------------------ Name: ---------------------------------- Title: --------------------------------- By: ------------------------------------ Name: ---------------------------------- Title: --------------------------------- This is one of the Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2011 described in the within-mentioned Indenture. Dated: September 22, 2005 U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee By: --------------------------------- Authorized Signatory A2-4 [Reverse Side of Note] INSIGHT HEALTH SERVICES CORP. Senior Secured Floating Rate 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. (a) The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 5.25%, as determined by the calculation agent (the "Calculation Agent"), which shall initially be the Trustee, from the date hereof until maturity and shall pay the Liquidated Damages, if any, payable pursuant to Section 5 of the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Company shall pay interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, quarterly in arrears on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 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 shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of original 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 February 1, 2006. 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 and Liquidated Damages (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. (b) The amount of interest for each day that the Notes are outstanding (the "Daily Interest Amount") will be calculated by dividing the interest rate in effect for such day by 365 (or 366, in the case of a calculation made with respect to a leap year) and multiplying the result by the principal amount of the Notes. The amount of interest to be paid on the Notes for each Interest Period will be calculated by adding the Daily Interest Amounts for each day in the Interest Period. All percentages resulting from any of the above calculations will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point being rounded upwards (e.g., 9.876545% (or 0.09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or 0.0987655)) and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards). The interest rate on the Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law. The Calculation Agent will, upon the request of the Holder of any Note, provide the interest rate then in effect with respect to the Notes. All calculations made by the Calculation Agent in the absence of manifest error will be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Company, the Guarantors and the Holders of the Notes. 2. Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of A2-5 Notes at the close of business on the 15th day of the month next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in The City of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, 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 shall be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. 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, U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall 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. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of September 22, 2005 (the "Indenture") among the Company, the Parent, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. 5. Optional Redemption. The Company shall not have the option to redeem the Notes prior to November 1, 2006. Thereafter, the Company shall have the option to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice to the Holders, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on November 1 of the years indicated below:
Year Percentage - ---- ---------- 2006.................. 103.0% 2007.................. 101.5% 2008 and thereafter... 100.0%
6. Mandatory Redemption. Except as set forth in paragraph 7 below, the Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 7. Repurchase at Option of Holder. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of such Holder's Notes pursuant to the offer A2-6 described below (the "Change of Control Offer") at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (the "Change of Control Payment"). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will notify the Trustee thereof and mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on the date specified in such notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the "Change of Control Payment Date"), pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice. (b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company may, at its option, within 12 months after such Asset Sale, (i) apply all or a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds to repay or purchase Applicable Indebtedness (and, in the case of revolving loans and other similar obligations, permanently reduce the commitment thereunder), or (ii) invest (or enter into a legally binding agreement to invest) all or a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in properties and assets to replace the properties and assets that were the subject of the Asset Sale or in properties and assets that will be used in businesses of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, existing on the Issue Date or in businesses the same, similar or reasonably related thereto; provided, that, to the extent that such Net Cash Proceeds represent proceeds of Collateral, (A) none of such properties and assets obtained shall consist of Excluded Assets and (B) such properties and assets obtained shall be expressly made subject to a first priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) with respect to the Notes. If any such legally binding agreement to invest such Net Cash Proceeds is terminated, the Company may, within 90 days of such termination or within 12 months of such Asset Sale, whichever is later, invest such Net Cash Proceeds as provided in clause (i) or (ii) (without regard to the parenthetical contained in such clause (ii)) above. Pending the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in a manner that is not prohibited by the Indenture. The amount of such Net Cash Proceeds not so used as set forth above in this paragraph shall constitute "Excess Proceeds". When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10 million, the Company will, within 30 days thereafter, make an offer to purchase (an "Excess Proceeds Offer") from all Holders of Notes on a pro rata basis, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture, the maximum principal amount (expressed as a multiple of $1,000) of Notes that may be purchased with the Excess Proceeds, at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date such offer to purchase is consummated. To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered pursuant to such offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use such deficiency for general corporate purposes. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by holders thereof exceeds the Excess Proceeds, the Notes to be purchased will be selected on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of such offer to purchase, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero. 8. Selection and Notice of Redemption If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed or purchased among the Holders of the Notes in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or in accordance with any other method the Trustee A2-7 considers fair and appropriate. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. Notices of redemption may not be conditional. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, cease to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption. 9. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.

Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture 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 evidence the succession of another Person to the Company and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company; to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company; to add additional Events of Default; to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture by a successor Trustee; to secure the Notes; to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture as of its date; to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental Indenture and a Guarantee with respect to the Notes; or to release Collateral from the Liens created by the Indenture or the Security Documents when permitted by the Indenture and the Security Documents.

In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to the Parent, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company specifying the respective Event of Default. 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 or Liquidated Damages, if any) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.

The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws. 16. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. 17.

(b) Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in Article Eleven of the Indenture. 6.
