The Corporation initially appoints The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") to --- act as Depository Institution with respect to any Global Notes. The Corporation initially appoints the Trustee to act as Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Note Custodian with respect to any Global Notes. 17 The Trustee is authorized to enter into a letter of representations with DTC in the form provided to the Trustee by the Corporation and to act in accordance with such letter. Prior to the initial issuance of the Senior Notes, there shall be established in or pursuant to a Board Resolution of the Corporation and set forth in an Officers' Certificate of the Corporation or established in one or more supplemental indentures hereto: (i) whether any Senior Notes shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Notes and, in such case, the Depository Institution for such Global Notes (if other than DTC), and whether beneficial owners of interests in any such Global Notes may exchange such interests for other Senior Notes in the manner provided in Section 2.7, and the manner and the circumstances under which and the place or places where any such exchanges may occur if other than in the manner provided in Section 2.7, and any other terms relating to the global nature of the Global Notes and the exchange, registration or transfer thereof and the payment of any principal thereof, or interest or premium, if any, thereon; and (ii) any other terms of the Senior Notes (which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture). SECTION 2.4 Authentication and Dating.

The Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver said Senior Notes to or upon the written order of the Corporation (as set forth in a duly executed Officers' Certificate) signed by authorized officers of the Corporation. The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Senior Notes under this Section 2.4 if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or vice presidents shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders. SECTION 2.5 Date and Denomination of Senior Notes. The Senior Notes shall be issuable as registered Senior Notes without coupons and in denominations of $1,000 and any multiple thereof. The Senior Notes shall be numbered, lettered, or otherwise distinguished in such manner or in accordance with such plans as the officers of the Corporation executing the same may determine with the approval of the Trustee as evidenced by the execution and authentication thereof. Every Senior Note shall be dated the date of its authentication, shall bear interest from such date and shall be payable on such dates, in each case, as contemplated by Section 2.3. The interest installment on any Senior Note that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Senior Note (or one or more Predecessor Senior Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest installment. In the event that any Senior Note or portion thereof is called for redemption and the Redemption Date is subsequent to a Regular Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, interest on such Senior Note will be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Senior Note as provided in Section 3.1. Any interest on any Senior Note that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted --------- Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant - -------- 18 Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Corporation, at its election, as provided in clause (a) or clause (b) below: (a) The Corporation may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on Senior Notes to the Persons in whose names such Senior Notes (or their respective Predecessor Senior Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner: the Corporation shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Senior Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Corporation shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record date (the "Special ------- Record Date") for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall not be more - ----------- than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Corporation of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Corporation, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder at his or her address as it appears in the Senior Note Register (as hereinafter defined), not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Senior Notes (or their respective Predecessor Senior Notes) are registered on such Special Record Date and shall be no longer payable pursuant to the following clause (b). (b) The Corporation may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on any Senior Notes in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Senior Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Corporation to the Trustees of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5, each Senior Note delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Senior Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Senior Note. SECTION 2.6 Execution of Senior Notes. The Senior Notes shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Corporation by the manual or facsimile signature of its Chairman of the Board of Directors, President or one of its Vice Presidents, by facsimile or otherwise, and which need not be attested. Only such Senior Notes as shall bear thereon a Certificate of Authentication substantially in the form hereinbefore recited, executed by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent upon any Senior Note executed by the Corporation shall be conclusive evidence that the Senior Note so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. In case any officer of the Corporation who shall have signed any of the Senior Notes shall cease to be such officer before the Senior Notes so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, or disposed of by the Corporation, such Senior Notes nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Senior Notes had not ceased to be such officer of the Corporation; and any Senior Note may be signed on behalf of the Corporation by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Senior Note, shall be the proper officers of the Corporation, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such person was not such an officer. 19 SECTION 2.7 Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Senior Notes. At the option of the Holder, Senior Notes may be exchanged for other Senior Notes of any authorized denominations and for a like aggregate principal amount. Senior Notes to be exchanged may be surrendered at the Principal Office of the Trustee or at any office or agency to be maintained by the Corporation for such purpose as provided in Section 3.2, and the Corporation or the Trustee shall execute and register and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor the Senior Note or Senior Notes which the Holder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive. Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of any Senior Note at the Principal Office of the Trustee or at any office or agency of the Corporation maintained for such purpose as provided in Section 3.2, the Corporation or the Trustee shall execute and register and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Senior Note or Senior Notes for a like aggregate principal amount. Registration or registration of transfer of any Senior Note by the Trustee or by any agent of the Corporation appointed pursuant to Section 3.2, and delivery of such Senior Note, shall be deemed to complete the registration or registration of transfer of such Senior Note. The Corporation or the Trustee shall keep, at the Principal Office of the Trustee, a register (the "Senior Note Register") in which, subject to such -------------------- reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Corporation or the Trustee shall register all Senior Notes and shall register the transfer of all Senior Notes as in this Article Two provided. Such register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. All Senior Notes presented for registration of transfer or for exchange or payment shall (if so required by the Corporation or the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent duly executed by, the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Senior Notes, but the Corporation or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, fee or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. The Corporation or the Trustee shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of (a) any Senior Note for a period of 15 days next preceding the mailing of a notice of redemption of Senior Notes for redemption, or (b) any Senior Notes selected, called or being called for redemption in whole or in part, except in the case of any Senior Notes to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not so to be redeemed. SECTION 2.8 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Senior Notes. In case any temporary or definitive Senior Note shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Corporation shall execute, and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Senior Note of like tenor and amount bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Senior Note, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Senior Note so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Senior Note shall furnish to the Corporation and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Corporation and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Senior Note and of the ownership thereof. The Trustee may authenticate any such substituted Senior Note and deliver the same upon the written request or authorization of any officer of the Corporation. Upon the issuance of any substituted Senior Note, the Corporation may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. If any Senior Note which has matured or is about to mature 20 or has been called for redemption in full shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Corporation may, instead of issuing a substitute Senior Note, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Senior Note) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Corporation and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Corporation and to the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Senior Note and of the ownership thereof. Every substituted Senior Note issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.8 by virtue of the fact that any such Senior Note is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Corporation, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Senior Note shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Senior Notes duly issued hereunder. All Senior Notes shall be held and owned upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Senior Notes and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender. SECTION 2.9 Temporary Senior Notes. Pending the preparation of definitive Senior Notes, the Corporation may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Senior Notes (printed or lithographed). Temporary Senior Notes shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Senior Notes but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Senior Notes, all as may be determined by the Corporation. Every such temporary Senior Note shall be executed by the Corporation and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the definitive Senior Notes. Without unreasonable delay the Corporation will execute and deliver to the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent definitive Senior Notes and thereupon any or all temporary Senior Notes may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at the Principal Office of the Trustee or at any office or agency maintained by the Corporation for such purpose as provided in Section 3.2, and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Senior Notes a like aggregate principal amount of such definitive Senior Notes. Such exchange shall be made by the Corporation at its own expense and without any charge therefor except that in case of any such exchange involving a registration of transfer the Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, fee or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto. Until so exchanged, the temporary Senior Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Senior Notes authenticated and delivered hereunder. SECTION 2.10 Cancellation of Senior Notes Paid, etc. All Senior Notes surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, exchange or registration of transfer, shall, if surrendered to the Corporation or any Paying Agent, be surrendered to the Trustee and promptly canceled by it, or, if surrendered to the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent, shall be promptly canceled by it, and no Senior Notes shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. All Senior Notes canceled by any Authenticating Agent shall be delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee shall dispose of canceled Senior Notes in accordance with its customary procedures. If the Corporation shall acquire any of the Senior Notes, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Senior Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. SECTION 2.11 Global Notes. 21 (a) If the Corporation shall establish pursuant to Section 2.3 that the Senior Notes are to be issued as Global Notes, then the Corporation shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.4, authenticate and deliver, Global Notes that (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, all of the outstanding Senior Notes, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depository Institution or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depository Institution or pursuant to the Depository Institution's instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: "Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11 of the Indenture, this Senior Note may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to another nominee of the Depository Institution or to a successor Depository Institution or to a nominee of such successor Depository Institution." (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.7, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in Section 2.7, only to another nominee of the Depository Institution for such series or to a successor Depository Institution for such Senior Notes selected or approved by the Corporation or to a nominee of such successor Depository Institution. (c) If at any time the Depository Institution for the Global Notes notifies the Corporation that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository Institution for such Global Notes or if at any time the Depository Institution for such Global Notes shall no longer be registered or in good standing under the Exchange Act, or other applicable statute or regulation, and a successor Depository Institution for such Global Notes is not appointed by the Corporation within 90 days after the Corporation receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, this Section 2.11 shall no longer be applicable to the Senior Notes and the Corporation will execute, and subject to Section 2.7, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver, the Senior Notes in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Notes in exchange for such Global Notes. In addition, the Corporation may at any time determine that the Senior Notes shall no longer be represented by the Global Notes and that the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall no longer apply to the Senior Notes. In such event the Corporation will execute and, subject to Section 2.7, the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers' Certificate evidencing such determination by the Corporation, will authenticate and deliver the Senior Notes in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Notes in exchange for such Global Notes. Upon the exchange of the Global Notes for such Senior Notes in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, the Global Notes shall be canceled by the Trustee. Such Senior Notes in definitive registered form issued in exchange for the Global Notes pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depository Institution, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Senior Notes to the Depository Institution for delivery to the Persons in whose names such Senior Notes are so registered. SECTION 2.12 CUSIP Numbers. The Corporation in issuing the Senior 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 Senior 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 Senior Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the assets or securities proposed to be transferred or issued to or by the Corporation or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair market value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this covenant shall be determined by the Board of Directors, whose resolution with respect thereto shall be conclusive. SECTION 3.10 Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries. The Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to: (a) pay dividends or make any other distributions to the Corporation or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries on its Capital Stock or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any indebtedness owed to the Corporation or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; (b) make loans or advances to the Corporation or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Corporation; or (c) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Corporation or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. However, the preceding restrictions shall not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reasons of: (i) Existing Indebtedness as in effect on the Issue Date; (ii) this Indenture, the Senior Notes and the Senior Subsidiary Guarantees; (iii) applicable law; 27 (iv) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the Corporation or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Corporation as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired, provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted -------- by the terms of this Indenture to be incurred; (v) non-assignment provisions in leases, licenses or similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business; (vi) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition; (vii) Liens securing Indebtedness that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Lien; (viii) provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business; (ix) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; (x) restrictions on the transfer of assets subject to any Lien permitted under this Indenture imposed by the holder of such Lien; (xi) encumbrances or restrictions existing under or arising pursuant to any Bank Credit Facility as in effect on the Issue Date; (xii) any Purchase Money Note or other Indebtedness or other contractual requirements of a Receivables Subsidiary in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction; provided that such restrictions apply -------- only to such Receivables Subsidiary; (xiii) encumbrances or restrictions under credit facilities, indentures or other contracts relating to Permitted Debt incurred under clause (d) of Section 3.11 in effect from time to time; and (xiv) any encumbrances or restrictions imposed by any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (i) through (xii) above; provided that such -------- amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, not materially more restrictive with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in the dividends or other payment restrictions prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing. 28 SECTION 3.11 Incurrence of Indebtedness. The Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, "incur") any Indebtedness (including Acquired ----- Debt), provided, however, that the Corporation may incur Indebtedness (including -------- ------- Acquired Debt), and the Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness, if the EBITDA Coverage Ratio for the Corporation's most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred would have been at least 2.5 to 1, determined on a pro forma basis, as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period. The provisions of the first paragraph of this Section 3.11 shall not apply to the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, "Permitted Debt"): -------------- (a) the incurrence by the Corporation and any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness under any Bank Credit Facility and letters of credit under any Bank Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount(with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the face amount) of up to $350,000,000 less the aggregate amount of all Net Proceeds of Asset Sales that have been applied by the Corporation or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Corporation since the Issue Date to permanently repay Indebtedness under a Bank Credit Facility pursuant to Section 3.12 hereof; provided that the amount of -------- Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to any Bank Credit Facility in accordance with this clause (a) shall be in addition to any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to any Bank Credit Facility, in reliance on, and in accordance with, clauses (e) and (n) below or in the first paragraph hereof; (b) the incurrence by the Corporation and its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Existing Indebtedness; (c) the incurrence by the Corporation and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the Senior Notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to $167,000,000 and the related Senior Subsidiary Guarantees to be issued on the Issue Date;

(f) the incurrence by the Corporation or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance, replace, amend, restate, modify or renew, in whole or in part, Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under the first paragraph hereof or clauses (b) or (c) of this paragraph; (g) the incurrence by the Corporation or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Corporation and any Restricted Subsidiary of the Corporation; provided, however, that each of -------- ------- 29 the following shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Corporation or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (g): (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Corporation or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof, other than any such issuance or transfer of Equity Interests in connection with Liens granted to secure borrowings under any Bank Credit Facility; and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Corporation or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof, other than any sale or transfer of such Indebtedness in connection with Liens granted to secure borrowings under any Bank Credit Facility; (h) the incurrence by the Corporation or any of the Guarantors of Hedging Obligations that are incurred for the purpose of fixing or hedging interest rate risk with respect to any floating or fixed rate Indebtedness that is permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be outstanding and the incurrence of Indebtedness under Other Hedging Agreements providing protection against fluctuations in currency values or in the price of commodities and raw materials in connection with the Corporation's or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries' operations so long as management of the Corporation or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, has determined that the entering into of such Other Hedging Agreements are bona fide hedging activities; (i) the guarantee by the Corporation or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of the Corporation or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Corporation that was permitted to be incurred under this Section 3.11; (j) the incurrence by the Corporation's Unrestricted Subsidiaries of Non- Recourse Debt, provided, however, that if any such Indebtedness ceases to be -------- ------- Non-Recourse Debt of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, such event shall be deemed to constitute an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Corporation that was not permitted by this clause (j); (k) Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Corporation or a Restricted Subsidiary providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition of any business, assets or a Subsidiary, other than guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or a Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition; provided, however, that (A) such Indebtedness is not reflected on -------- ------- the balance sheet of the Corporation or any Restricted Subsidiary (contingent obligations referred to in a footnote to financial statements and not otherwise reflected on the balance sheet will not be deemed to be reflected on such balance sheet for purposes of this clause (A)) and (B) the maximum assumable liability in respect of all such Indebtedness shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds including noncash proceeds (the fair market value of such noncash proceeds being measured at the time received and without giving effect to any subsequent changes in value) actually received by the Corporation and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition; (l) the incurrence of obligations in respect of performance and surety bonds and completion guarantees provided by the Corporation or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business; (m) the incurrence of Indebtedness by a Receivables Subsidiary in a Qualified Receivables Transaction that is not recourse to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (except for Standard Securitization Undertakings); provided -------- that the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness outstanding under this clause (m) does not exceed $50 million; and 30 (n) the incurrence by the Corporation of additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) (which amount may, but need not be, incurred in whole or in part under a Bank Credit Facility) at any time outstanding, not to exceed $50 million. For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 3.11, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (a) through (n) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 3.11, the Corporation shall be permitted to classify or later reclassify such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 3.11. Indebtedness under a Bank Credit Facility outstanding on the date on which the Senior Notes are first issued and authenticated under this Indenture shall be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (a) of the definition of Permitted Debt. SECTION 3.12 Asset Sales. The Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless (x) the Corporation (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale which, taken as a whole, is at least equal to the fair market value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of, (y) such fair market value is determined by the Corporation's Board of Directors and evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee and (z) at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Corporation or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents or Marketable Securities. For purposes of this provision, each of the following shall be deemed to be cash: (a) any liabilities (as shown on the Corporation's or such Restricted Subsidiary's most recent balance sheet) of the Corporation or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Senior Notes or any Senior Subsidiary Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets; and (b) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Corporation or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted, sold or exchanged by the Corporation or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 30 days of the related Asset Sale (to the extent of the cash received in that conversion). Within 270 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Corporation may apply such Net Proceeds, at its option: (i) to repay Indebtedness under any Bank Credit Facility; (ii) to invest in or to acquire other properties or assets to replace the properties or assets that were the subject of the Asset Sale or that will be used in businesses of the Corporation or its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, existing at the time such assets are sold; and (iii) to make (or cause such Restricted Subsidiary to make) a capital expenditure or commit (or cause such Restricted Subsidiary to commit) to make a capital expenditure (such commitments to include amounts anticipated to be expended pursuant to the Corporation's capital investment plan as adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) within 365 days of such Asset Sale. Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Corporation may invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. 31 Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraph shall constitute "Excess Proceeds." When the --------------- aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $5 million, the Corporation shall make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Senior Notes. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer shall be equal to 100% of principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase and shall be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Corporation may use such Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Senior Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Senior Notes tendered. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. The Corporation 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 each repurchase of Senior Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 3.12, the Corporation shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the provisions of this Section 3.12 by virtue of such conflict. SECTION 3.13 Transactions with Affiliates. The Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each, an "Affiliate Transaction"), unless: --------------------- (a) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms taken as a whole that are no less favorable to the Corporation or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Corporation or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; (b) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving more than $2.5 million individually or in the aggregate, the Corporation delivers to the Trustee a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers' Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 3.13 and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors; and (c) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving more than $7.5 million individually or in the aggregate, the Corporation shall, prior to the consummation thereof, obtain a favorable opinion as to the fairness of such Affiliate Transaction to the Corporation and the relevant Restricted Subsidiary (if any) from a financial point of view from an Independent Financial Advisor and file the same with the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions: (i) any employment agreement entered into by the Corporation or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Corporation in the ordinary course of business; (ii) transactions between or among the Corporation and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries; (iii) payment of reasonable directors fees to Persons who are not otherwise Affiliates of the Corporation; 32 (iv) sales of Equity Interests to Affiliates of the Corporation; (v) Restricted Payments made in cash that are permitted by the provisions of Section 3.9 hereof; (vi) ordinary course purchases and sales of goods or services between or among the Corporation and its Subsidiaries (or with Kobe Steel Limited or its successors); (vii) transactions described in clause (xi) of the definition of Permitted Investments; or (viii) reasonable fees and expenses and compensation paid to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors or employees of the Corporation or any Subsidiary as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or senior management. SECTION 3.14 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. (a) If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Senior Notes shall have the right to require the Corporation to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of that Holder's Senior Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the "Change of Control Offer") on the terms set ----------------------- forth in this Section 3.14. In the Change of Control Offer, the Corporation shall offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the date of purchase (the "Change of Control Payment"). Within 30 days following any ------------------------- Change of Control, the Corporation shall mail a notice to the Trustee and each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Senior 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 this Indenture and described in such notice. The Corporation 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 Senior 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 Section 3.14, the Corporation shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the provisions of this Section 3.14 by virtue of such conflict. (b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Corporation shall, to the extent lawful: (i) accept for payment all Senior Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the Trustee an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Senior Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and (iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Senior Notes so accepted together with an Officers' Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Corporation. The Trustee shall promptly mail to each Holder of Senior Notes so tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Senior Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Senior Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Senior Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new -------- Senior Note shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. Prior to complying with any of the provisions of this Section 3.14, but in any event within 90 days following a Change 33 of Control, the Corporation shall either repay all outstanding Indebtedness under the Bank Credit Facility or obtain the requisite consents, if any, under the Bank Credit Facility to permit the repurchase of Senior Notes required by this Section 3.14. The Corporation shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. (c) The Corporation shall first comply with the covenant in the second to last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph before it shall be required to repurchase Senior Notes pursuant to the provisions described above. The Corporation's failure to comply with the aforementioned covenant may (with notice and lapse of time) constitute an Event of Default described in Section 5.1(d) but shall not constitute an Event of Default described in Sections 5.1(a) or 5.1(b). (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.14, the Corporation shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of 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 3.14 and all other provisions of this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Corporation and purchases all Senior Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. The Corporation shall announce publicly or provide written notice to the Trustee and the Holders within 15 days following the occurrence of a Change of Control. The foregoing provisions of this Section 3.14, insofar as they require the Corporation to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control, shall be applicable regardless of whether any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable. SECTION 3.15 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause an Event of Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Corporation and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary so designated shall be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of such designation and shall either reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of Section 3.9 hereof or reduce the amount available for future Investments under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as the Corporation shall determine. That designation shall only be permitted if such Investment would be permitted at that time and if such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if the redesignation would not cause a Default or an Event of Default (assuming that any Liens or Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary are deemed to be incurred immediately upon such redesignation). SECTION 3.16 Additional Senior Subsidiary Guarantees. If the Corporation or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries acquires or creates any Domestic Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture that is not a Guarantor, then the Corporation shall cause such Domestic Subsidiary (other than a Receivables Subsidiary) to execute and deliver a supplemental indenture in form and substance substantially similar to Exhibit C hereto pursuant to which it will become a Guarantor under this Indenture. SECTION 3.17 Notice of Default. The Corporation shall file with the Trustee written notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default within 30 Business Days of its becoming aware of any such Default or Event of Default. SECTION 3.18 Conduct of Business. 34 The Corporation shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any businesses which are not (i) the same as or reasonably similar to, (ii) ancillary or related to, or (iii) a reasonable extension, development or expansion of, the businesses in which the Corporation and its Restricted Subsidiaries are engaged on the date hereof. SECTION 3.19 Limitation of Ownership of Capital Stock of Certain Restricted Subsidiaries. The Corporation will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, sell or issue any share of Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary which is a Domestic Subsidiary to any Person other than the Corporation or a Restricted Subsidiary, except for: (a) the sale or issuance of Capital Stock of any Domestic Subsidiary whose primary business consists of the gear manufacturing operations of The Horsburgh & Scott Company; or (b) the sale of at least 85% of the shares of the Capital Stock of any Domestic Subsidiary held by the Corporation and its Restricted Subsidiaries effected in accordance with Section 3.12. SECTION 3.20 Limitation on Layered Indebtedness. The Corporation will not, and will not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness that is subordinate in right of payment to any other Indebtedness, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinate in right of payment to the Senior Notes to the same extent and on the same terms as such Indebtedness is subordinate to such other Indebtedness. ARTICLE 4 HOLDERS' LISTS AND REPORTS BY THE CORPORATION AND THE TRUSTEE SECTION 4.1 Holders' Lists. The Corporation shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee: (a) on a semi-annual basis on each Regular Record Date for the Senior Notes, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders of Senior Notes as of such record date; and (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after the receipt by the Corporation, of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished; provided that no such lists need be furnished so long as the Trustee -------- is in possession thereof by reason of its acting as Senior Note registrar. SECTION 4.2 Preservation and Disclosure of Lists.

The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 4.1 upon receipt of a new list so furnished. 35 (b) If three or more Holders (hereinafter referred to as "applicants") apply in writing to the Trustee and furnish to the Trustee ---------- reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Senior Note for a period of at least six months preceding the date of such application, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under such Senior Notes and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, at its election, either: (i) afford such applicants access to the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2(a); or (ii) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of Holders whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2(a), and as to the approximate cost of mailing to such Holders the form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such application.

If the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Corporation, the Trustee and the Holders of the Senior Notes, as the case may be, shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Corporation, the Trustee and the Holders of such Senior Notes shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken. SECTION 5.2 Payment of Senior Notes on Default; Suit Therefor. The Corporation covenants that if an Event of Default other than under Section 5.1(e) or (f) shall have occurred and be continuing, then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Corporation will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Senior Notes, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all such Senior Notes for principal and premium, if any, or interest, or both, as the case may be, upon the overdue principal and premium, if any (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon the overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Senior Notes; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including a reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and any other amounts owing to the Trustee hereunder other than through its negligence or bad faith. If the Corporation shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any actions or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Corporation or any other obligor on such Senior Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Corporation or any other obligor on such Senior Notes wherever situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable. If an Event of Default under Section 5.1(e) or (f) shall have occurred, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Senior Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.2, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Senior Notes and, in case of any judicial proceedings, 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 reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for any other amounts owing to the Trustee and each 39 predecessor Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Corporation or any other obligor on the Senior Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Corporation or such other obligor, unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders of the Senior Notes in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or person performing similar functions in comparable proceedings, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of its charges and expenses; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the Holders 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 such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other amounts owing to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith. Nothing herein contained shall be construed 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 Senior Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Senior Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Senior Notes, or the production thereof in any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Senior Notes. In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Senior Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of the Senior Notes parties to any such proceedings. SECTION 5.3 Application of Moneys Collected by Trustee. Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article Five shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such moneys, upon presentation of the Senior Notes in respect of which moneys have been collected, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: First: To the payment of costs and expenses of collection and reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and of all other amounts owing to the Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith; Second: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Senior Notes for principal (and premium, if any) and interest on the Senior Notes, in respect of which or for the benefit of which money has been collected, ratably, without preference of priority of any kind, according to the amounts due on such Senior Notes for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, respectively. SECTION 5.4 Proceedings by Holders. No Holder of any Senior Note shall have any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given 40 to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof specifying such Event of Default, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes then outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding, it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Senior Note with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Senior Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Senior Notes. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, however, the right of any Holder of any Senior Note to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Senior Note, on or after the same shall have become due and payable, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 5.4, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. SECTION 5.5 Proceedings by Trustee. In case of an Event of Default hereunder the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. SECTION 5.6 Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. Except as otherwise provided in the last paragraph of Section 2.8 with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost or stolen Senior Notes, all powers and remedies given by this Article Five to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders of the Senior Notes, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture or otherwise established with respect to such Senior Notes, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Senior Notes to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 5.4, every power and remedy given by this Article Five or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders. SECTION 5.7 Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority of Holders. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes then outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided, however, that -------- ------- (subject to the provisions of Section 6.1) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee shall determine that the action so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not taking part in such direction or if the Trustee being advised 41 by counsel determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or Responsible Officers shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of the Senior Notes, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes then outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Senior Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default (a) in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Senior Notes, or (b) in respect of covenants or provisions hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Senior Note affected. Upon any such waiver, the Default covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all purposes of this Indenture and the Corporation, the Trustee and the Holders of the Senior Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 5.7, said Default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Senior Notes and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing. The foregoing provisions shall be in lieu of Sections 316(a)(1)(A) and 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act and such sections are hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the Senior Notes, as permitted by the Trust Indenture Act. SECTION 5.8 Notice of Defaults. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of a default, mail to all Holders, as the names and addresses of such Holders appear upon the Senior Note Register, notice of all defaults known to the Trustee, unless such defaults shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term "defaults" for the purpose of this Section 5.8 being hereby defined to be the events specified in Section 5.1, not including periods of grace, if any, provided for therein, and irrespective of the giving of written notice specified in Section 5.1(d)); and provided that, except in the case of default in the -------- payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Senior Notes, the Trustee shall (i) not be deemed to have knowledge of a default unless a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge or receives written notice and (ii) be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders. SECTION 5.9 Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Senior Note by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, 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 Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided that the provisions of this Section 5.9 shall not apply to any suit - -------- instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Senior Notes then outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Senior Note against the Corporation on or after the same shall have become due and payable. 42 ARTICLE 6 CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE SECTION 6.1 Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. If an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived) 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 their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs. No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that: (a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred: (i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to the Senior Notes shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and (ii) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture; (b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and (c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith, in accordance with the direction of the Holders pursuant to Section 5.7, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture. None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Indenture or adequate indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to it. 43 SECTION 6.2 Reliance on Documents, Opinions, etc. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.1: (a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, note, debenture or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; (b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Corporation or any Guarantor mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers' Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any Board Resolution may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or of such Guarantor; (c) the Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;

(e) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture and by the Senior Subsidiary Guarantees; provided, however, that nothing contained herein -------- ------- shall relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (that has not been cured or waived) to exercise with respect to the Senior Notes such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and by the Senior Subsidiary Guarantees, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs; (f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, coupon or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Senior Notes; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to -------- ------- the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture and the Senior Subsidiary Guarantees, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding; (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers under this Indenture or under the Senior Subsidiary Guarantees or perform any duties hereunder or thereunder either directly or by or through agents (including any Authenticating Agent), custodians, nominees or attorneys, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent or attorney appointed by it with due care; (h) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

(j) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder; and (k) the Trustee may request that the Corporation deliver an Officers' Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers' Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers' Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded. SECTION 6.3 No Responsibility for Recitals, etc. The recitals contained herein and in the Senior Notes (except in the Certificate of Authentication of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent) shall be taken as the statements of the Corporation and the Guarantors and the Trustee and the Authenticating Agent assume no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee and the Authenticating Agent make no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture, of the Senior Subsidiary Guarantees or of the Senior Notes. The Trustee and the Authenticating Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Corporation of any Senior Notes or the proceeds of any Senior Notes authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture. SECTION 6.4 Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Certain Others May Own Senior Notes. The Trustee or any Authenticating Agent or any Paying Agent or any transfer agent or any Senior Note Registrar in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Senior Notes with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, transfer agent or Senior Note registrar. SECTION 6.5 Moneys to be Held in Trust. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.4, all moneys received by the Trustee or any Paying Agent shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purpose for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest allowed on any such moneys shall be paid from time to time upon the written order of the Corporation, signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President, any Vice President, the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the Corporation. SECTION 6.6 Compensation and Expenses of Trustee. The Corporation and the Guarantors agree to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, compensation as agreed from time to time between the Corporation and the Trustee (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), and the Corporation and the Guarantors will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable and necessary expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable and necessary compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all 45 persons not regularly in its employ and any amounts paid by the Trustee to any Authenticating Agent pursuant to Section 6.14) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Corporation and the Guarantors also agree to indemnify the Trustee (and its officers, agents, directors and employees) for, and to hold it harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claim, liability or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based on income of the Trustee) incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Corporation, a Holder or any other Person) of liability in the premises. The Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Senior Notes as to all property and funds held by it hereunder for any amount owing it or any predecessor Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.6, except with respect to funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Senior Notes. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(e) or Section 5.1(f), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law. The provisions of this Section 6.6 shall survive the termination of this Indenture. SECTION 6.7 Officers' Certificate as Evidence. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.1 and 6.2, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof. SECTION 6.8 Conflicting Interest of Trustee. If the Trustee has or shall acquire any "conflicting interest" within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee and the Corporation shall in all respects comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. SECTION 6.9 Eligibility of Trustee. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any State or Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia or a corporation or other Person permitted to act as trustee by the Commission authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal, State, Territorial, or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.9 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The Corporation may not, nor may any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Corporation, serve as the Trustee. 46 If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.9, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 6.10. SECTION 6.10 Resignation or Removal of Trustee. (a) The Trustee, or any successor trustee hereafter appointed, may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the Corporation and by mailing notice thereof to the Holders of the Senior Notes at their addresses as they shall appear on the Senior Note Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Corporation shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of its Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing of such notice of resignation to the Holders, the resigning Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Corporation, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Senior Note for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 5.9, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee. (b) If at any time any of the following shall occur: (i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 6.8 after written request therefor by the Corporation or by any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Senior Note for at least six months; or (ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.9 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Corporation or by any such Holder; or (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, the Corporation may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 5.9, any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Senior Note for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee. (c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes then outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee and nominate a successor trustee, which shall be deemed appointed as successor trustee unless within 10 days after such nomination the Corporation objects thereto, in which case the Trustee so removed or any Holder, upon the terms and conditions and otherwise as provided in Section 6.10(a), may petition, at the expense of the Corporation, any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee. (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 6.10 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 6.11. SECTION 6.11 Acceptance by Successor Trustee. 47 Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 6.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Corporation and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Corporation or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.6, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee all property and money held by such retiring trustee thereunder. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Corporation shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.6. No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 6.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 6.8 and eligible under the provisions of Section 6.9. Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 6.11, the Corporation shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Holders of the Senior Notes at their addresses as they shall appear on the Senior Note Register. If the Corporation fails to mail such notice within 10 days after the acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Corporation. SECTION 6.12 Succession by Merger, etc. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. If at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Senior Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Senior Notes so authenticated; and if at that time any of the Senior Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Senior Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Senior Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that -------- ------- the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or authenticate Senior Notes in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation. SECTION 6.13 Limitation on Rights of Trustee as a Creditor. The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship described in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent included therein. SECTION 6.14 Authenticating Agents. 48 There may be one or more Authenticating Agents appointed by the Trustee upon the request of the Corporation with power to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication and delivery of Senior Notes issued upon exchange or transfer thereof as fully to all intents and purposes as though any such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized to authenticate and deliver Senior Notes. Any such Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Corporation and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any State or Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000 and being subject to supervision or examination by federal, State, Territorial or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or the requirements of such authority, then for the purposes of this Section 6.14 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.14, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect herein specified in this Section 6.14. Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this Section 6.14, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or such Authenticating Agent. Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Corporation. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Corporation. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or if at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section 6.14, the Trustee may, and upon the request of the Corporation shall, promptly appoint a successor Authenticating Agent eligible under this Section 6.14, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Corporation and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holder as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the Senior Note Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Authenticating Agent herein. The Corporation agrees to pay to any Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services. ARTICLE 7 CONCERNING THE HOLDERS SECTION 7.1 Action by Holders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action) the fact that at the time of taking any such action the Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such Holders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of such Holder voting in favor thereof at any meeting of such Holders duly called and held in accordance with the 49 provisions of Article Eight, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of such Holders. If the Corporation shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the Corporation may, at its option, as evidenced by an Officers' Certificate, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Corporation shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given before or after the record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of outstanding Senior Notes have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and for that purpose the outstanding Senior Notes shall be computed as of the record date; provided, however, that no such -------- ------- authorization, agreement or consent by such Holders on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date. In soliciting authorizations, agreements or consents from Holders, the Corporation may, at its option but subject to applicable law, require that such authorizations, agreements or consents be given on an irrevocable basis or, alternatively, impose such limitations on the revocability of such authorizations, agreements or consents as it determines. SECTION 7.2 Proof of Execution by Holders. Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 8.5, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or his agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The ownership of Senior Notes shall be proved by the Senior Note Register or by a certificate of the Senior Note Registrar. The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section 7.2 as it shall deem necessary. The record of any Holders' meeting shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 8.6. SECTION 7.3 Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Senior Note, the Corporation, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any transfer agent and any Senior Note Registrar may deem the person in whose name such Senior Note shall be registered upon the Senior Note Register to be, and may treat him as, the absolute owner of such Senior Note (whether or not such Senior Note shall be overdue) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Senior Note and for all other purposes; and neither the Corporation nor the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent nor any Paying Agent nor any transfer agent nor any Senior Note Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any Holder for the time being or upon his order shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any such Senior Note. SECTION 7.4 Senior Notes Owned by Corporation Deemed Not Outstanding. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Senior Notes which are owned by the Corporation or any other obligor on the Senior Notes or by any Affiliate of the Corporation or of any such other obligor on the Senior Notes shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; provided that for the -------- purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only Senior Notes which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Senior Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this 50 Section 7.4 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right to vote such Senior Notes and that the pledgee is not the Corporation or any such other obligor or Affiliate of the Corporation or of any such other obligor. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. SECTION 7.5 Revocation of Consents; Future Holders Bound. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 7.1, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Senior Note (or any Senior Note issued in whole or in part in exchange or substitution therefor) the serial number of which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Senior Notes the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at the Principal Office of the Trustee and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 7.2, revoke such action so far as concerns such Senior Note (or so far as concerns the principal amount represented by any exchanged or substituted Senior Note). Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the Holder of any Senior Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Senior Note, and of any Senior Note issued in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Senior Note or any Senior Note issued in exchange or substitution therefor. ARTICLE 8 HOLDERS' MEETINGS SECTION 8.1 Purposes of Meetings. A meeting of Holders of the Senior Notes may be called at any time and from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Article Eight for any of the following purposes: (a) to give any notice to the Corporation or to the Trustee, or to give any directions to the Trustee, or to consent to the waiving of any default hereunder and its consequences, or to take any other action authorized to be taken by Holders pursuant to any of the provisions of Article Five; (b) to remove the Trustee and nominate a successor trustee pursuant to the provisions of Article Six; (c) to consent to the execution of an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.2; or (d) to take any other action authorized to be taken by or on behalf of the Holders of any specified aggregate principal amount of such Senior Notes under any other provision of this Indenture or under applicable law.

SECTION 8.4 Qualifications for Voting. To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Holders a person shall (a) be a Holder of one or more Senior Notes or (b) a person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy by a Holder of one or more such Senior Notes.

The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Corporation or by Holders as provided in Section 8.3, in which case the Corporation or the Holders calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by majority vote of the meeting. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.4, at any meeting each Holder or proxy therefor shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of Senior Notes held or represented by him; provided, however, that no vote -------- ------- shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Senior Note challenged as not outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote other than by virtue of Senior Notes held by him or instruments in writing as aforesaid duly designating him as the person to vote on behalf of other Holders. Any meeting of Holders duly called pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.2 or 8.3 may be adjourned from time to time by a majority of those present, whether or not constituting a quorum, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Senior Subsidiary Guarantee and this Article Fifteen shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws (including under any Bank Credit Facility), and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article Fifteen, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Senior Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. SECTION 15.3 Execution and Delivery of Senior Subsidiary Guarantee. To evidence its Senior Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 15.1, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Senior Subsidiary Guarantee substantially in the form included in Exhibit B hereto shall be endorsed by an officer of such Guarantor on each Senior Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by its President or one of its Vice Presidents. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Senior Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 15.1 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Senior Note a notation of such Senior Subsidiary Guarantee. If an officer of a Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Senior Subsidiary Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee or Authenticating Agent authenticates the Senior Note on which a Senior Subsidiary Guarantee is endorsed, the Senior Subsidiary Guarantee shall be, nevertheless, valid. The delivery of any Senior Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Senior Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. In the event that the Corporation creates or acquires any new Domestic Subsidiaries subsequent to the date of this Indenture, if required by Section 3.16, the Corporation shall cause such Domestic Subsidiaries to execute supplemental Indentures to this Indenture and Senior Subsidiary Guarantees in accordance with Section 3.16 and this Article Fifteen, to the extent applicable. SECTION 15.4 Guarantors May Consolidate on Certain Terms. Nothing contained in this Indenture, any Senior Subsidiary Guarantee or in any of the Senior Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of any Guarantor with or into any other Person, or successive consolidations or mergers in which such Guarantor or its successor or successors shall be a party or parties, or shall prevent any sale, 66 conveyance, transfer or other disposition of the property of the Corporation or its successor or successors as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to any other Person authorized to acquire and operate the same; provided, however, -------- ------- that each Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees that (a) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than a Guarantor or the Corporation) shall unconditionally assume all the obligations of such Guarantor, pursuant to a supplemental Indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, under the Senior Notes, this Indenture, and the Senior Subsidiary Guarantee on the terms set forth herein or therein, and (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall exist. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental Indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Senior Subsidiary Guarantee endorsed upon the Senior Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Senior Subsidiary Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Senior Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Corporation and delivered to the Trustee. All the Senior Subsidiary Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Senior Subsidiary Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Senior Subsidiary Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. Except as set forth in Articles Three and Ten hereof, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Senior Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Corporation or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Corporation or another Guarantor. SECTION 15.5 Releases Following Sale of Assets. In the event of (a) a sale or other disposition of all of the assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise or (b) a sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor, then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital stock of such Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor) will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Senior Subsidiary Guarantee. Upon delivery by the Corporation to the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Corporation in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Senior Subsidiary Guarantee. Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Senior Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Senior Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article Fifteen. * * * * * 67 The Trustee hereby accepts the trusts in this Indenture declared and provided, upon the terms and conditions herein above set forth.

EXECUTION AND DELIVERY. Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that the Senior Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Senior Note a notation of such Senior Subsidiary Guarantee. C-2 4. GUARANTEEING SUBSIDIARY MAY CONSOLIDATE, ETC. ON CERTAIN TERMS. (a) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary may not consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another corporation, Person or entity whether or not affiliated with such Guarantor unless: (i) subject to Section 15.4 of the Indenture, the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than a Guarantor or the Corporation) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor, pursuant to a supplemental Indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, under the Senior Notes, the Indenture and the Senior Subsidiary Guarantee on the terms set forth herein or therein; and (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists. (b) In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor corporation, by Supplemental Indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Senior Subsidiary Guarantee endorsed upon the Senior Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor corporation thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Senior Subsidiary Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Senior Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Corporation and delivered to the Trustee. All the Senior Subsidiary Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as the Senior Subsidiary Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture as though all of such Senior Subsidiary Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. (c) Except as set forth in Articles Three and Ten of the Indenture, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in the Indenture or in any of the Senior Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Corporation or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Corporation or another Guarantor. 5. RELEASES. (a) In the event of a sale or other disposition of all of the assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all of the capital stock of any Guarantor, then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital stock of such Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor) will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Senior Subsidiary Guarantee. Upon delivery by the Corporation to the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Corporation in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Senior Subsidiary Guarantee. (b) Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Senior Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Senior Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in Article Fifteen of the Indenture. C-3 6. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or agent of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Corporation or any Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Senior Notes, any Senior Subsidiary Guarantees, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Senior Notes by accepting a Senior Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Senior Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the Commission that such a waiver is against public policy. 7. NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY. 8. COUNTERPARTS. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. 9. EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 10 THE TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Corporation.
