“Affiliate” of any specified Person means any other Person, directly or indirectly, controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control” when used with respect to any Person means the power to direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Below Investment Grade Rating Event will not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus will not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Triggering Event) if any Rating Agency shall have put forth a written statement to the effect that such downgrade is not attributable in whole or in part to the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control has occurred at the time of the rating event) and the Notes are not rated below an Investment Grade Rating by either of the other two Rating Agencies.

(iv)    All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Supplemental Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(v)    Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date.

(vi)    Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary; provided, however, that (A) the Holder of any Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Depositary Participants and Persons that hold interests in Notes through

Depositary Participants, to take any action that such Holder is entitled to take with respect to such Global Note under this Indenture or the Notes; and (B) the Company and the Trustee, and their respective agents, may give effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary.

(vii)    The Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02.

(viii)    All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile.

(ix)    Each Holder of a Note agrees to indemnify the Company and the Trustee against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder’s Note in violation of any provision of this Supplemental Indenture and/or applicable United States Federal or state securities law.

(x)    The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Supplemental Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depositary Participants or Beneficial Owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Supplemental Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

(xi)    Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for the records of, or for any actions taken or not taken by, the Depositary.

(xii)    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture, any transfers, replacements or exchanges of Notes, including as contemplated in this Article 2, shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness.

Section 2.07    Replacement Notes.

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note.

Every replacement Note is an additional legally binding obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Supplemental Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.08    Outstanding Notes.

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.

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

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 of the Base Indenture, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

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

Section 2.09    Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or its Affiliates shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

Section 2.10    Temporary Notes.

Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Supplemental Indenture.

Section 2.11    Cancellation.

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such canceled Notes in its customary manner. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that they have paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12    Defaulted Interest.

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, which interest on defaulted interest shall accrue until the defaulted interest is deemed paid hereunder, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 of the Base Indenture. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.13    CUSIP Numbers.

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

Article III of the Base Indenture is hereby replaced with the following:

Section 3.01    Notices to Trustee.

If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07, they shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (i) the clause of this Supplemental Indenture

pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price.

Section 3.02    Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes for redemption as follows:

(1)    if any Notes are listed, in compliance with the requirements of the principal securities exchange on which the Notes are listed, as certified to the Trustee by the Company, and in compliance with the requirements of DTC; or

(1)    if the Notes are not so listed or such exchange prescribes no method of selection and the Notes are not held through DTC or DTC prescribes no method of selection, on a pro rata basis, subject to adjustment as described below, by lot or in accordance with any other method as the Trustee shall deem appropriate.

In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided in this Indenture, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of a Holder’s Notes are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Supplemental Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

Section 3.03    Notice of Redemption.

At least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail or electronically in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, with a copy to the Trustee.

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

(a)    the redemption date;

(b)    the redemption price;

(c)    if any Note is being redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the original Note;

(d)    the name and address of the Paying Agent;

(e)    that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

(f)    that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption and redeemed ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

(g)    the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed;

(h)    that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and

(i)    any conditions to the Company’s obligations to redeem the Notes as contemplated by Section 3.04.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3.03, a notice of redemption may be delivered electronically or mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 15 days prior to the redemption date (or such shorter period as to which the Trustee may agree in its sole discretion), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

Section 3.04    Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price; provided that any redemption or notice of any redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an equity offering, incurrence of Indebtedness, Change of Control Triggering Event or other transaction and may include various aggregate principal amounts of notes that potentially may be redeemed and the conditions precedent applicable to such amounts. If such redemption or purchase is so subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice of any redemption in respect thereof may be given prior to the completion thereof and may be partial as a result of only some of the conditions being satisfied; provided, however, that any such conditions precedent shall be set forth in the notice of redemption. Such notice shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its discretion), or such redemption or

purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed. In addition, the Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

Section 3.05    Deposit of Redemption Price.

At or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed.

If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid on the redemption date to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 of the Base Indenture.

Section 3.06    Notes Redeemed in Part.

No Notes of $2,000 principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and, upon the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

Section 3.07    Optional Redemption.

Except as set forth in this Section 3.07, the Notes are not redeemable at the option of the Company.

(a)    At any time prior to June 15, 2023, the Company may, at its option, on one or more occasions, redeem all or any portion of the Notes on not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed (or, in the case of Global Notes, delivered electronically in accordance with the procedures of DTC) to Holders of the Notes to be redeemed at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

(i)    100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date; and

(ii)    the sum, as determined by an Independent Investment Banker, of the present value of the redemption price of the Notes at June 15, 2023 (such redemption price being set forth in the table appearing in the next paragraph of this Section 3.07(a)) plus remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to June 15, 2023 on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, and accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

On and after June 15, 2023, the Company may, at its option and on one or more occasions, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon notice pursuant to Section 3.03, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on June 15 of each of the years indicated below:

If the optional redemption date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest will be paid on the redemption date to the Person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders whose Notes will be subject to redemption by the Company.

Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.01 through 3.06.

Section 3.08    Mandatory Redemption.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.09 below, the Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

Section 3.09    [Intentionally Omitted].

The following Sections 4.03 through 4.10 are hereby added to Article IV of the Base Indenture:

Section 4.03    SEC Reports.

(a)    Notwithstanding that the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, to the extent permitted by the Exchange Act, the Company will (i) file with the SEC or (ii) make publicly available to the Trustee and the registered Holders of the Notes:

(1)    all quarterly and annual information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file such Forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual financial statements by the Company’s certified independent registered accounting firm; and

(2)    all current information that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports.

(b)    In the event that the Company is not permitted to file such reports, documents and information with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Company will nevertheless make publicly available such Exchange Act information to the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes as if the Company were subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (a) in the case of quarterly reports, within 15 days after the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations and (b) in the case of annual reports, within 30 days after the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations.

(c)    In addition, the Company and the Guarantors have agreed that they will make available to the Holders and to prospective investors, upon the request of such Holders, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act so long as the Notes are not freely transferable under the Securities Act. For purposes of this Section 4.03(c), the Company and the Guarantors will be deemed to have furnished the reports to the Trustee and the Holders of Notes as required by this Section 4.03 if it has filed such reports with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system or such reports are publicly available. Delivery of reports information, notifications and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants under this

Indenture (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely on Officer’s Certificates). The Trustee shall not have any liability or responsibility for the filing, posting, timeliness or content of any such reports or information.

(d)    The Parent Guarantor or any successor parent may satisfy the obligations of the Company set forth in Section 4.03(a) through (c) provided that if the Parent Guarantor or any successor parent does not conduct substantially all of its business through the Company then the Parent Guarantor or any successor parent shall identify any material differences in the net income and revenues of the Parent Guarantor on a consolidated basis vs. those of the Company on a consolidated basis.

(e)    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture, if not filed with the SEC but made publicly available to the Trustee and the registered Holders of the Notes in the event that the Company or the Parent Guarantor or any successor parent is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, (a) such information will not be required to comply with Section 302 or Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or related Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S- K promulgated by the SEC and (b) such information will not be required to contain the separate financial information for Guarantors as contemplated by Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X or Subsidiaries whose securities are pledged to secure the Notes as contemplated by Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X or any financial statements of unconsolidated Subsidiaries or 50% or less owned Persons as contemplated by Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X or any schedules required by Regulation S-X, or in each case any successor provisions.

Section 4.04    Compliance Certificate.

(a)    The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year have been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture, and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Supplemental Indenture or the Base Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

(b)    The Company shall, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 4.05    Existence.

Subject to, and as permitted under, Article 5, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its limited liability company existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve or keep the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries, if the Company shall determine that the preservation or keeping thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Section 4.06    Limitations on Liens.

The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, incur, assume or guarantee any Indebtedness secured by a Lien on any of the Company’s or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries’ Capital Stock, properties or assets, unless the Company secures the Notes equally and ratably with the Indebtedness secured by such Lien for so long as such Indebtedness is so secured. The restrictions do not apply to Indebtedness that is secured by Permitted Liens.

Section 4.07    Limitations on Sale and Leaseback Transactions.

The Company will not and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to enter into any arrangement with any Person to lease a Principal Property (a “Sale and Leaseback Transaction”) (except for any arrangements that exist on the Issue Date or that exist at the time any Person that owns a Principal Property becomes a Restricted Subsidiary) which has been or is to be sold by the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary to such Person unless:

(a)    the Sale and Leaseback Transaction involves a lease for a term of not more than three years;

(b)    the Sale and Leaseback Transaction is entered into between the Company and any Subsidiary or between the Company’s Subsidiaries;

(c)    the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Indebtedness secured by a Lien on the Principal Property at least equal in amount to the Attributable Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 4.06 without having to secure equally and ratably the Notes; or

(d)    the proceeds of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction are at least equal to the fair market value (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith) of the Principal Property and the Company applies within 180 days after the sale an amount equal to the greater of the net proceeds of the sale or the Attributable Indebtedness associated with the Principal Property to (i) the retirement of long-term debt for borrowed money that is not subordinated to the Notes and that is not debt to the Company or a Subsidiary, or (ii) the purchase or development of other comparable property.

Section 4.08    Exemption from Limitations on Liens and Limitations on Sale and Leaseback Transactions.

Notwithstanding the limitations described under Sections 4.06 and 4.07, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are permitted to create or assume Liens to secure Indebtedness or enter into Sale and Leaseback Transactions with respect to Principal Property that would not otherwise be permitted under the limitations described under Sections 4.06 and 4.07, provided that the aggregate amount of all Indebtedness secured by such Liens (excluding Indebtedness otherwise permitted under the exceptions described in Section 4.06) and the Attributable Indebtedness with respect to all such Sale and Leaseback Transactions (excluding Attributable Indebtedness with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transactions entered into in reliance on the exceptions described in Section 4.07) at any time outstanding does not exceed the greater of (i) $125 million and (ii) 2.5% of Total Assets, measured at the date of incurrence (provided that any fees and expenses (including any premium and defeasance costs) incurred in connection with the replacement, refinancing, restructuring, extension or renewal pursuant to this Section 4.08 of Indebtedness originally incurred pursuant to this Section 4.08 shall not be deemed to constitute Indebtedness for purposes of calculating the aggregate amount of Indebtedness that may be incurred pursuant to this Section 4.08 upon such replacement, refinancing, restructuring, extension or renewal).

Section 4.09    Repurchase at the Option of Holders upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

(a)    If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes as described in Section 3.07, Holders of Notes shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of their Notes pursuant to the offer described in this Section 4.09 (the “Change of Control Offer”). In the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).

(b)    Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, or, at the Company’s option, prior to the date of consummation of any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company will mail (or deliver electronically) a notice to Holders of Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the

transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will 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 under this Indenture and described in such notice. The repurchase obligation with respect to any notice mailed prior to the consummation of the Change of Control shall be conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice.

(c)    To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.09(c), the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and

(d)    regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Indenture by virtue of such conflicts.

(e)    On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

(i)    accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(ii)    deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

(iii)    deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted.

(f)    The Paying Agent will promptly mail or otherwise deliver to each Holder of Notes (that have been properly tendered) the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee, upon an Authentication Order, will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided that each new Note will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(g)    The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

(h)    In the event that Holders of not less than 90% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes accept a Change of Control Offer and the Company purchases all of the Notes held by such Holders, the Company will have the right, upon not less than

10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all of the Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the Change of Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes that remain outstanding, to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date).

Section 4.10    Additional Guarantees.

(a)    If a Domestic Subsidiary guarantees (such guarantee being referred to as the “Triggering Guarantee”) Senior Indebtedness of the Company under the Credit Agreement, then the Company will cause such Domestic Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Domestic Subsidiary will guarantee payment of the Notes on the same terms and conditions as the original Guarantees from the initial Guarantors with such limitations as are set forth in the Triggering Guarantee.

(b)    A Guarantor will be automatically released and relieved from all its obligations under its Guarantee in the following circumstances:

(i)    upon the sale or other Disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of at least a majority of the total voting power of the Capital Stock or other interests of such Guarantor (other than to the Company or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries), as permitted under this Indenture;

(ii)    upon the sale or Disposition of all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor (other than to the Company or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries), as permitted under this Indenture; or

(iii)    if at any time when no Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes, such Guarantor no longer guarantees (or which Guarantee is being simultaneously released or will be immediately released after the release of the Guarantor) the Senior Indebtedness of the Company under the Credit Agreement.

Article V of the Base Indenture shall control, except that Section 5.01 of the Base Indenture is hereby replaced with the following:

Section 5.01    Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets.

Article VI of the Base Indenture shall control, except that Section 6.01, Section 6.02 and Section 6.06 of the Base Indenture are hereby replaced with the following:

Section 6.01    Events of Default.

(a)    Each of the following is an “Event of Default”:

(1)    default for 30 consecutive days in the payment when due of interest, including any additional interest and any additional amounts, on the Notes;

(2)    default in payment when due of the principal of, or premium (if any) on, the Notes, including any additional amount, when due and payable, at maturity, or upon acceleration or redemption;

(3)    failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under Section 5.01;

(4)    the Company remains in breach of a covenant or warranty in respect of this Indenture or any Note (other than a covenant included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of debt securities of another series) for 60 days after receipt of written notice of default, which notice must be sent by either the Trustee or Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes;

(5)    a default resulting in acceleration of Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiaries (other than intercompany Indebtedness) of at least the greater of (i) $100 million and (ii) 2.5% of Total Assets in aggregate principal amount, which acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled after 30 days’ notice thereof;

(6)    a final judgment for the payment of greater of (i) $100 million and (ii) 2.5% of Total Assets or more (excluding any amounts covered by insurance or indemnities) rendered against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries (other than any Securitization Entity), which judgment is not discharged or stayed within 60 days after (i) the date on which the right to appeal thereof has expired if no such appeal has commenced, or (ii) the date on which all rights to appeal have been extinguished.

(7)    the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries (other than any Securitization Entity) pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(a)commences a voluntary case,

(b)    consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,

(c)    consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, or

(d)    makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

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

(a)    is for relief against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries (other than any Securitization Entity) in an involuntary case;

(b)    appoints a custodian of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries (other than any Securitization Entity) or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries (other than any Securitization Entity); or

(c)    orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries (other than any Securitization Entity); and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days after (i) the date on which the right to appeal thereof has expired if no such appeal has commenced, or (ii) the date on which all rights to appeal have been extinguished;

(b)    provided that a notice of Default may not be given with respect to any action taken, and reported publicly or to Holders, more than two years prior to such notice of Default. Any notice of Default, notice of acceleration or instruction to the Trustee to provide a notice of Default, notice of acceleration or take any other action (a “Noteholder Direction”) provided by any one or more Holders (each a “Directing Holder”) must be accompanied by a written representation from each such Holder delivered to the Company and the Trustee that such Holder is not (or, in the case such Holder is DTC or its nominee, that such Holder is being instructed solely by beneficial owners that are not) Net Short (a “Position Representation”), which representation, in the case of a Noteholder Direction relating to the delivery of a notice of Default shall be deemed a continuing representation until the resulting Event of Default is cured or otherwise ceases to exist or the Notes are accelerated. In addition, each Directing Holder is deemed, at the time of providing a Noteholder Direction, to covenant to provide the Company with such other information as the Company may reasonably request from time to time in order to verify the accuracy of such Directing Holder’s Position Representation within five Business Days of request therefor (a “Verification Covenant”). In any case in which the Holder is DTC or its nominee, any Position Representation or Verification Covenant required hereunder shall be provided by the beneficial owner of the Notes in lieu of DTC or its nominee and DTC shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Position Representation and Verification Covenant in delivering its direction to the Trustee.

If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Company determines in good faith that there is a reasonable basis to believe a Directing Holder was, at any relevant time, in breach of its Position Representation and provides to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Company has initiated litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction seeking a determination that such Directing Holder was, at such time, in breach of its Position Representation, and seeking to invalidate any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to such Event of Default shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending a final and non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction on such matter. If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Company

provides to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that a Directing Holder failed to satisfy its Verification Covenant, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending satisfaction of such Verification Covenant. Any breach of the Position Representation shall result in such Holder’s participation in such Noteholder Direction being disregarded; and, if, without the participation of such Holder, the percentage of Notes held by the remaining Holders that provided such Noteholder Direction would have been insufficient to validly provide such Noteholder Direction, such Noteholder Direction shall be void ab initio, with the effect that such Event of Default shall be deemed never to have occurred, acceleration voided and the Trustee shall be deemed not to have received such Noteholder Direction or any notice of such Default or Event of Default.

Notwithstanding anything in the preceding two paragraphs of this Section 6.01(b) to the contrary, any Noteholder Direction delivered to the Trustee, during the pendency of an Event of Default arising from clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01(a) shall not require compliance with the foregoing paragraphs.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any Noteholder Direction delivered to it in accordance with this Indenture, shall have no duty to inquire as to or investigate the accuracy of any Position Representation, enforce compliance with any Verification Covenant, verify any statements in any Officers’ Certificate delivered to it, or otherwise make calculations, investigations or determinations with respect to Derivative Instruments, Net Shorts, Long Derivative Instruments, Short Derivative Instruments or otherwise. The Trustee shall not have any liability to the Company, any Holder or any other Person in acting in good faith on a Noteholder Direction.

Section 6.02    Acceleration.

In the case of an Event of Default arising from clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01 with respect to the Company, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by written notice to the Company or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Company (with a copy to the Trustee) and the Trustee may declare the Notes to be due and payable immediately. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders of such Notes rescind an acceleration and its consequences with respect to such Notes if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except non-payment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived. Any time period in this Indenture to cure any actual or alleged Default or Event of Default may be extended or stayed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 6.06    Limitation on Suits.

A Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if:

(a)    such Holder gives to the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured with respect to Notes held by such Holder;

(b)    the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the Notes must make a written request that the Trustee take action because of the default;

(c)    such Holder or Holders of Notes offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any losses, liabilities or expenses of taking that action; and

(d)    the Trustee must have failed to take action for 60 days after receipt of the notice and offer of indemnity.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.

Article VII of the Base Indenture shall control; provided that Section 7.06 shall not apply to the Notes.

Article VIII of the Base Indenture shall control.

Article IX of the Base Indenture is hereby replaced with the following:

Section 9.01    Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

(10)    conforming the provisions of this Indenture and the Notes to the “Description of Notes” section in the Offering Memorandum;

(11)    supplementing any of the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of the Notes so long as any such action shall not adversely affect the interests of any Holder of such Notes or any other series of debt securities issued hereunder;

(12)    permitting the authentication and delivery of additional series of Notes;

(13)    providing for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes subject to applicable laws;

(14)    establishing the form or terms of other debt securities issued under this Indenture and coupons of any series of such other debt securities pursuant to this Indenture and to change the procedures for transferring and exchanging such other debt securities so long as such change does not adversely affect the Holders of any outstanding debt securities, including the Notes (except as required by applicable securities laws);

(15)    making any change to this Indenture that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of any Notes;

(16)    securing any series of debt securities, including the Notes;

(17)    evidencing the acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee;

(20)    evidencing the release of any guarantor pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

Upon the request of the Company, and upon receipt by the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 9.06, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Supplemental Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.02    With Consent of Holders of Notes.

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or a tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 of the Base Indenture, any existing Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes may be waived, including by way of amendment, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or a tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes). Section 2.08 shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02.

Upon the request of the Company and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of such Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 9.06, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture.

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

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall send to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to send such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 of the Base Indenture, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or such Notes. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

(1)    extend the maturity of any payment of principal of or any installment of interest on any Notes;

(2)    reduce the principal amount of any Note, or the interest, including additional interest, thereon, or any premium payable on any Note upon redemption thereof;

(5)    change the ranking of the Notes;

(6)    impair the right to sue for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to any such Note; or

(7)    reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding Notes required to consent to any supplemental indenture, any waiver of compliance with provisions of this Indenture or specific defaults and their consequences provided for in this Indenture, or otherwise modify the sections in this Indenture relating to these consents.

Section 9.03    Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

Section 9.04    Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent thereto by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not

made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

Section 9.05    Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.06    Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be provided with and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 11.04, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, in each case from the Company, stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

The following Section 10.08 is hereby added to Article X of the Base Indenture:

Section 10.08    Additional Guarantor.

W. R. Grace & Co., a Delaware corporation, Grace Management Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Grace Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, each hereby agrees, jointly and severally with all existing Guarantors, to unconditionally guarantee the Company’s Obligations under the Notes and this Indenture on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Article 10 of the Base Indenture, including without limitation the release provisions thereof, and to be bound by all other applicable provisions of this Indenture and the Notes and to perform all of the obligations and agreements of a Guarantor under this Indenture.

Section 11.02 of the Base Indenture is hereby amended to provide the following address for notices to the Trustee; and the following Sections 11.16, 11.17 and 11.18 are hereby added to Article XI of the Base Indenture:

Section 11.02    Notices.

The address for notices to the Trustee in connection with the Notes is:

The Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee shall be at the office of the Trustee set forth in this Section 11.02.

Section 11.16    Supplemental Indenture Controls.

In case any provision of this Supplemental Indenture conflicts with any provision of the Base Indenture, the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture shall govern and be controlling, solely with respect to the Notes (and the Guarantees provided by the Parent Guarantor and any Subsidiary Guarantors endorsed thereon).

Section 11.17    Jurisdiction.

Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Indenture or the transactions contemplated by this Indenture may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City of New York or the court of the State of New York, in each case located in the City of New York (collectively, the “Specified Courts”), and each party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail (to the extent allowed under any applicable statute or rule of court) to such party’s address set forth in Section 11.01 will be effective service of process for any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court. Each of the Company, the Trustee and each Holder (by its acceptance of any Note) irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or other proceeding in the Specified Courts and irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim any suit, action or other proceeding has been brought in any inconvenient forum.

Section 11.18    Electronic Execution.

Unless otherwise provided in this Supplemental Indenture or in any Note, the words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” and “signature” and words of similar import used in or related

to any document to be signed in connection with this Supplemental Indenture, any Note or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including amendments, waivers, consents and other modifications) will be deemed to include electronic signatures and the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which will be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature in ink or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as applicable, to the fullest extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, and any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Trustee is not under any obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Trustee pursuant to reasonable procedures approved by the Trustee.

Article XII of the Base Indenture shall control.

If such redemption or purchase is so subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice of any redemption in respect thereof may be given prior to the completion thereof and may be partial as a result of only some of the conditions being satisfied; provided, however, that any such conditions precedent shall be set forth in the notice of redemption. Such notice shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its discretion), or such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed. In addition, the Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

If the optional redemption date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest will be paid on the redemption date to the Person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders whose Notes will be subject to redemption by the Company.

Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

6.    MANDATORY REDEMPTION. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 7 below, the Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

7.    REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDER.

If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes as described in Section 3.07 of the Supplemental Indenture, Holders of Notes shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of their Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”). In the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).

Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, or, at the Company’s option, prior to the date of consummation of any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company will mail (or deliver electronically) a notice to Holders of Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will 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 hereunder and described in such notice. The repurchase obligation with respect to any notice mailed prior to the consummation of the Change of Control shall be conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice.

To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 7, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations hereunder by virtue of such conflicts.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

(a)    accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(b)    deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

(c)    deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted.

The Paying Agent will promptly mail or otherwise deliver to each Holder of Notes (that have been properly tendered) the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee, upon an Authentication Order, will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered; provided that each new Note will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

In the event that Holders of not less than 90% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes accept a Change of Control Offer and the Company purchases all of the Notes held by such Holders, the Company will have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all of the Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the Change of Control Payment plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes that remain outstanding, to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date).

8.    DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Supplemental Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Supplemental Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

9.    PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

10.    AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the Supplemental Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or a tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 of the Indenture, any existing Default or compliance with any provision of the Supplemental Indenture or the Notes may be waived, including by way of amendment, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or a tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes). Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Supplemental Indenture or the Notes (i.e. curing ambiguities, omissions, mistakes, defects or inconsistencies; providing for the

11.    DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Each of the following is an Event of Default:

(1)    default for 30 consecutive days in the payment when due of interest, including any additional interest and any additional amounts, on the Notes;

(2)    default in payment when due of the principal of, or premium (if any) on, the Notes, including any additional amount, when due and payable, at maturity, or upon acceleration or redemption;

(3)    failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under Section 5.01;

(4)    the Company remains in breach of a covenant or warranty in respect of the Indenture or any Note (other than a covenant included in the Indenture solely for the benefit of debt securities of another series) for 60 days after receipt of written notice of default, which notice must be sent by either the Trustee or Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes;

(5)    a default resulting in acceleration of Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiaries (other than intercompany Indebtedness) of at least the greater of (i) $100 million and (ii) 2.5% of Total Assets in aggregate principal amount, which acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled after 30 days’ notice thereof;

(6)    a final judgment for the payment of greater of (i) $100 million and (ii) 2.5% of Total Assets or more (excluding any amounts covered by insurance or indemnities) rendered against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries (other than any Securitization Entity), which judgment is not discharged or stayed within 60 days after (i) the date on which the right to appeal thereof has expired if no such appeal has commenced, or (ii) the date on which all rights to appeal have been extinguished.

(7)    the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries (other than any Securitization Entity) pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(a)    commences a voluntary case,

(b)    consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,

(c)    consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, or

(d)    makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and

is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Company and the Trustee may declare the Notes to be due and payable immediately. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences with respect to such Notes if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except non-payment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived. Any time period in the Indenture to cure any actual or alleged Default or Event of Default may be extended or stayed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

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

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase) (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

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

13.    NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, Officer, employee, incorporator, member or stockholder of the Company, as such, shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

14.    GOVERNING LAW. THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS NOTE AND THE SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
