the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the report of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or a nationally recognized investment banking firm, to pay and discharge the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption or maturity date, as the case may be;

(2)  

in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that:

(a)  

the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or

(b)

since the date of the Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law,

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(3)  

in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company or others;






33


(7)  

the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with; and

(8)  

no event or condition shall exist that would prevent the Company from making payments of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes on the date of such deposit on the date of such deposit.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by clause (2) above with respect to a Legal Defeasance need not be delivered if all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable or (2) will become due and payable on the maturity date within one year for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company.

If the funds deposited with the Trustee to effect legal defeasance or covenant defeasance are insufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when due, then the obligations of the Company under this Indenture will be revived and no such defeasance will be deemed to have occurred.

the Company has paid all other sums payable with respect to the Notes under the Indenture by the Company; and

(3)  

the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent under the Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture with respect to the Notes have been complied with.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture with respect to the Notes, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 607 of the Base Indenture and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee under Section 405(1)(b), the obligations of the Trustee under Section 408 of the Base Indenture and Section 606 of the Base Indenture shall survive such satisfaction and discharge, in each case, with respect to the Notes.

(3)  

to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; and

(4)  

if the Company has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances.

(b)

applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order,

(c)

any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of an Acquired Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition); provided, however, that such restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Acquired Person,

(h)

provisions in joint venture agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, partnership agreements, limited liability company operating agreements and other similar agreements, in each case entered into in the ordinary course of business,

(l)

any agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred subsequent to the Issue Date by Section 1017 of this Supplemental Indenture (A) if the encumbrance and restrictions contained in any such agreement or instrument taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the holders of the Notes than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the Credit Facility in effect as of the Issue Date (as determined in good faith by the Company) or (B) if such encumbrance or restriction is not materially more disadvantageous to the holders of the Notes than is customary in comparable financings (as determined in good faith by the Company) and either (x) the Company determines that such encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect the Company’s ability to make






43


principal or interest payments on the Notes as and when they become due or (y) such encumbrance or restriction applies only if a default occurs in respect of a payment or financial covenant relating to such Indebtedness; or

(m)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither (a) customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of any lease entered into in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice, nor (b) Liens permitted under this Indenture, shall in and of themselves be considered a restriction on the ability of the applicable Restricted Subsidiary to transfer such agreements or assets, as the case may be.

(11)

any transactions, arrangements or agreements effected as part of a Qualified Receivables Financing or a Qualified Equipment Financing;

(12)

(b)

After the Springing Guarantee Date, the Company will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor (other than a Foreign Subsidiary) to Guarantee any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary unless such Restricted Subsidiary simultaneously executes a supplemental indenture to this Indenture in the form of Exhibit B of this Supplemental Indenture providing for the Guarantee of the payment of the Notes by such Restricted Subsidiary.  Such Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed released from its obligations under a Subsidiary Guarantee provided pursuant to the preceding sentence at any such time that such Restricted Subsidiary is released from all of its obligations under its Guarantee of such other Indebtedness unless such release results from the payment under such Guarantee of other Indebtedness. In addition, a Subsidiary Guarantor will be automatically released fr om its Subsidiary Guarantee upon (1) the sale, disposition, exchange or other transfer (including through merger, consolidation or otherwise) of the Capital Stock (including any sale, disposition or other transfer following which the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary), of the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor if such sale, disposition, exchange or other transfer is made in compliance with, and the release is otherwise in compliance with the Indenture, (2) the Company designating such Subsidiary Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 1010 and Section 1020 of this Supplemental Indenture and the definition of “Investment”, (3) the Company’s exercise of its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option set forth in Article Four of this Supplemental Indenture or if the Company’s obligations are discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, and (4) during any Suspension Period.

Each Subsidiary Guarantee will be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be Guaranteed by that Subsidiary Guarantor without rendering the Subsidiary Guarantee, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under a Subsidiary Guarantee shall be entitled to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in  a pro rata amount based on the fair market value of the net assets of each Subsidiary Guarantor.

(c)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any such reinstatement, no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries prior to the Reversion Date will give rise to a Default or Event






55


of Default under this Indenture with respect to the Notes; provided that (1) with respect to Restricted Payments made after such Reversion Date, the amount of Restricted Payments made will be calculated as though Section 1010 of this Supplemental Indenture had been in effect prior to and during the Suspension Period; (2) all Indebtedness incurred or issued, or Disqualified Stock issued, during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to Section 1013(b)(3) or Section 1017(b) of this Supplemental Indenture; (3) to the extent any Indebtedness is incurred or issued during the Suspension Period that would have required the Restricted Subsidiaries to become Subsidiary Guarantors and such Indebtedness is outstanding on the Reversion Date, such requirement will become effective on the Reversion Date; and (4) if Section 1020(a)(1) of this Supplemental Indenture is applicable on the Reversion Date, the applicable Restricted Subsidiaries shall be required to comply with such covenant.

NOW, THEREFORE, THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH:


For and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the Notes by the Holders thereof, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of the Notes, as follows:

The following Article 14 is hereby added to the Indenture solely with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantees pursuant to Section 1020 of the Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 3, 2009 (the “Original Supplemental Indenture”) with respect to the obligations set forth below.


All terms not defined herein shall be as defined in the Original Supplemental Indenture.


ARTICLE 14


Subsidiary Guarantees


SECTION 1401. Subsidiary Guarantee Obligations.


Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Notes when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Company under the Original Supplemental Indenture and the Notes and (b) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Company under the Original Supplemental Indenture and the Notes (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”).  Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from such Subsidiary Guarantor and that such Subsidiary Guarantor will remain bound un der this Article 14 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives notice of any Default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations.  The Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by (1) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person (including any Subsidiary Guarantor) under the Original Supplemental Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (2) any extension or renewal of any thereof; or (3) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other Subsidiary Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations .






2


Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guaranty herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection).

Except as expressly set forth in Sections 402 and 1020 of the Original Supplemental Indenture and Section 1402 of this Supplemental Indenture, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the No tes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any Default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Subsidiary Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (A) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, and (B) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law).

Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all Guaranteed Obligations.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 5 of the Original Supplemental Indenture for the purposes of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guaranty herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 5 of the Original Supplemental Indenture, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwi th become due and payable by such Subsidiary Guarantor for the purposes of this Section.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section.


SECTION 1402. Limitation on Liability.


Any term or provision of this Supplemental Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Supplemental Indenture, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.







3


SECTION 1403. Successors and Assigns.


This Article 14 shall be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Supplemental Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Supplemental Indenture.


SECTION 1404. No Waiver.


To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 14 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 14 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.


SECTION 1405. Modification.


To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article 14, nor the consent to any departure by any Subsidiary Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No notice to or demand on any Subsidiary Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Subsidiary Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.


SECTION 1406. Contribution.


Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment under its Subsidiary Guaranty shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Subsidiary Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Subsidiary Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.


SECTION 1407. Counterparts.


The Subsidiary Guarantee shall be enforceable whether or not the Subsidiary Guarantor has executed a counterpart to the Note, and no signature by the Subsidiary Guarantor on the Note shall be required.
