(2) the interest component of Capitalized Lease Obligations paid, accrued and/or scheduled to be paid or accrued by such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries during such period as determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP;

Section 2.4. Paying Agents to Hold Money in Trust.

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

Notes and portions thereof selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder 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. No Notes of a principal amount of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part.

Section 3.3. Notice of Optional or Special Redemption.

In the event Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to Section 3.7 or 3.8 hereof, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date, the Issuers shall mail a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed in whole or in part, with a copy to the Trustee.

The notice shall identify the Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed (including the CUSIP number, if any) and shall state:

(a) the Redemption Date;

(b) the Redemption Price;

-39-

(c) if any Note is being redeemed in part, 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 will be issued;

(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, Additional Interest, if any, and, unless the Redemption Date is after a record date and or before the succeeding interest payment date, accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date;

(f) that, unless the Issuers default in making the redemption payment, interest and any Additional Interest on Notes called for redemption will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Notes is to receive payment of the Redemption Price, any Additional Interest and, unless the Redemption Date is after a record date and on or before the succeeding interest payment date, accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Notes redeemed;

(g) if fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed, as well as the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be outstanding after such partial redemption;

(h) the paragraph of the Notes pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and

(i) 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 that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes.

At the Issuers’ request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuers’ name and at its expense; provided that the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date, 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 3.4. Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is mailed, Notes or portions thereof called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price. Upon surrender to any Paying Agent, such Notes or portions thereof shall be paid at the Redemption Price, plus Additional Interest, if any, and accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest which are due and payable on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, registered as such, at the close of business on the relevant record date for the payment of such installment of interest.

Section 3.5. Deposit of Redemption Price.

On or before 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on each Redemption Date, the Issuers shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the aggregate amount due on all Notes to be redeemed on that date, including without limitation any accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the Redemption Date. Upon written request by the Issuers, the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuers any money not required for that purpose.

-40-

Unless the Issuers default in making such payment, interest and any Additional Interest on the Notes to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the applicable Redemption Date, whether or not such Notes are presented for payment. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender because of the failure of the Issuers to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest will be paid on the unpaid principal, from the applicable Redemption Date until such principal is paid, and on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.1 hereof.

Section 3.6. Notes Redeemed in Part.

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuers shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuers a new Note equal in principal amount to portion of the Note surrendered that is not to be redeemed.

Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.8 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.1 through 3.6 hereof.

The proviso to the foregoing sentence is referred to as the “Coverage Ratio Exception.”

-50-

(b) Neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall incur, directly or indirectly, any Indebtedness which is or purports to be by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) subordinated to any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) made expressly subordinate to the Notes or the Guarantee of such Guarantor to the same extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to such other Indebtedness.

(c) In addition to the limitation imposed by the first paragraph of this covenant, any issuance of Additional Notes shall be subject to the further requirements that (a) the principal amount thereof shall not exceed $50.0 million, (b) 100% of the net proceeds of such issuance shall be applied to finance improvements or additions to the Primary Collateral, (c) the Mortgages shall be amended, if necessary, and additional mortgages granting a security interest in any additional Primary Collateral on terms no less favorable to the Holders than the terms of the Mortgages shall be delivered by the Company, as applicable, prior to or contemporaneously with such additional issuance so that the maximum amount secured by the Mortgages and such additional mortgages shall be an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under this Indenture (including any Additional Notes previously issued and the Additional Notes that are the subject of such issuance) less the aggregate principal amount of Notes theretofore redeemed, discharged, defeased or repurchased and (d) the Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, have performed or caused to be performed all acts and executed any and all documents (including, without limitation, the authorization of any financing statement and continuation statement) for filing under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code or under any other statute, rule or regulation of any applicable federal, state or local jurisdiction, including any filings in local real estate land record offices which are necessary or reasonably requested by the Trustee in order to grant and confirm the validity, perfection and first priority (subject to Permitted Liens) of the Liens in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders on such additional Primary Collateral.

Section 4.10. Limitation on Asset Sales.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

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

(2) at least 75% (or 100% in the case of an Asset Sale of Primary Collateral) of the consideration received by the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from such Asset Sale is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents and is received at the time of such disposition (provided that (A) the amount of any liabilities of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee thereof) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and (B) any securities or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary in exchange for any such assets (other than assets which constitute Collateral) that are converted into cash within 180 days after the consummation of such Asset Sale (to the extent of the cash received) shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision);

(3) if such Asset Sale involves the disposition of Collateral, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary has complied with the provisions described in Article X;

(4) if such Asset Sale involves the disposition of Primary Collateral, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale remaining after repayment (including a corresponding commitment reduction, if applicable) of any Indebtedness secured by a Permitted

-51-

Lien on such asset (the “Available Amount”) shall be paid directly by the purchaser of the Primary Collateral to the Trustee for deposit into the Collateral Account for the benefit of the Trustee, and, to the extent required by the Collateral Documents, such property shall be made subject to the Lien of the applicable Collateral Documents;

(5) if such Asset Sale involves the disposition of Secondary Collateral, the proceeds are applied in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement to the extent required therein; and

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

(a) in the case of an Asset Sale that does not involve Primary Collateral only, to prepay any Secured Indebtedness;

(b) to make an investment in properties and assets that replace the properties and assets that were the subject of such Asset Sale or in properties and assets (including inventory and Capital Stock) that will be used in the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as existing on the Issue Date or in businesses reasonably related thereto (“Replacement Assets”) or, in the case of Asset Sales which do not comprise Primary Collateral, to make a Permitted Investment; provided that any Replacement Assets acquired with any Net Cash Proceeds of an Asset Sale of Collateral shall be owned by the Company or a Guarantor and shall not be subject to any Liens other than Permitted Liens and the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Trustee such Collateral Documents or other instruments as shall be reasonably necessary to cause such property or assets to become subject to the Lien of the applicable Collateral Documents; and/or

Clauses (1) and (2) of the Section 4.10(a) need not be satisfied to the extent the Collateral to be released consists solely of Secondary Collateral with respect to which the required Secondary Collateral Lenders have given their consent and authorized the release of same or to the extent the Secondary Collateral to be released is disposed of by the agent on behalf of the required Secondary Collateral Lenders in connection with the exercise of rights or remedies under the Credit Agreement or other Secondary Collateral Loans, in each case so long as the proceeds therefrom are applied in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement.

(b) On the 361st day after an Asset Sale (a “Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date”), such aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds which have not been applied on or before such Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as permitted in clauses (6)(a), (6)(b) and (6)(c) of Section 4.10(a) (each a “Net Proceeds Offer Amount”) shall be applied by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to make an offer to purchase (the “Net Proceeds Offer”) on a date (the “Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date”) not less than 30 nor more than 45 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, from all Holders on a pro rata basis, that amount of Notes equal to the Net Proceeds Offer Amount at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase; provided, however, that if at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale which does not involve Collateral is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then such conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this Section 4.10. Pending application of the Net Cash Proceeds, the Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales of Primary Collateral shall be deposited

-52-

in the Collateral Account. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer is less than the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the Company may apply any remaining Net Cash Proceeds to any purpose consistent with this Indenture and, following the consummation of each Net Proceeds Offer, the Net Proceeds Offer Amount shall be reset to zero. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the Issuers may commence a Net Proceeds Offer prior to the expiration of 360 days after the occurrence of an Asset Sale.

(c) The Issuers may defer the Net Proceeds Offer until there is an aggregate unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount that, when added to the Net Loss Proceeds then accumulated, is equal to or in excess of $10.0 million (the “Total Offer Amount”) (at which time, the entire unutilized Total Offer Amount, and not just the amount in excess of $10.0 million, shall be applied as required pursuant to the preceding paragraph).

(d) Notwithstanding Sections 4.10(a) and (b), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be permitted to consummate an Asset Sale without complying with such sections to the extent that:

(1) the consideration for such Asset Sale constitutes Replacement Assets; and

(2) such Asset Sale is for fair market value; provided that to the extent such Asset Sale consists of Collateral, the Replacement Assets shall be owned by the Company or a Guarantor and shall not be subject to any Liens other than Permitted Liens and the Company or such Guarantor shall execute and deliver to the Trustee such Collateral Documents or other instruments as shall be reasonably necessary to cause such property or assets to become subject to the Lien of the applicable Collateral Documents.

(e) In the event of the transfer of substantially all (but not all) of the property and assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as an entirety to a Person in a transaction permitted under Section 4.10, which transaction does not constitute a Change of Control, the successor corporation shall be deemed to have sold the properties and assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries not so transferred for purposes of this Section 4.10, and shall comply with the provisions of this covenant with respect to such deemed sale as if it were an Asset Sale. In addition, the fair market value of such properties and assets of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries deemed to be sold shall be deemed to be Net Cash Proceeds for purposes of this covenant.

(f) The Issuers will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the “Asset Sale” provisions of this Indenture, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under the “Asset Sale” provisions of this Indenture by virtue thereof.

Section 4.11. Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or permit to exist any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any of its Affiliates (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), other than (x) Affiliate Transactions permitted under Section 4.11(c) and (y) Affiliate Transactions on terms that are no less favorable than those that might reasonably have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary.

-53-

(b) All Affiliate Transactions (and each series of related Affiliate Transactions that are similar or part of a common plan) involving aggregate payments or other property with a fair market value in excess of $2.5 million shall, prior to the consummation thereof, be approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, such approval to be evidenced by a Board Resolution stating that such disinterested members (or the disinterested member, if there is only one disinterested member) have determined that such transaction complies with the foregoing provisions. If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company enters into an Affiliate Transaction (or a series of related Affiliate Transactions that are similar or part of a common plan) involving aggregate payments or other property with a fair market value in excess of $5.0 million, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall, prior to the consummation thereof, obtain a favorable opinion as to the fairness of such transaction or series of related transactions to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point of view, from an Independent Financial Advisor and file the same with the Trustee.

(1) fees and compensation paid to and indemnity provided on behalf of officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors or senior management;

(2) transactions exclusively between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or exclusively between or among such Restricted Subsidiaries;

(4) Restricted Payments and Permitted Investments permitted by this Indenture;

(5) loans or advances in the ordinary course of business to officers, directors or employees of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, including advances for travel and moving expenses;

(6) any employment, severance or termination agreement entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business;

(7) transactions with customers, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services which are fair to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors of the Company; and

(8) issuance of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company and the granting of registration rights with respect to that Qualified Capital Stock.

Section 4.12. Limitation on Liens.

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

-54-

Subsidiaries may incur Liens on property or assets that are not Collateral if (i) in the case of any such Liens securing Indebtedness that is expressly subordinate or junior in right of payment to the Notes, the Notes are secured by a Lien on such property or assets that is senior in priority to such Liens and (ii) in the case of all other such Liens, the Notes are equally and ratably secured. In the event that the Lien the existence of which gives rise to a Lien securing the Notes or a Guarantee pursuant to the foregoing exception ceases to exist, the Lien securing the Notes or a Guarantee required by the foregoing exception shall automatically be released and the Trustee shall execute appropriate documentation as requested by the Company.

Section 4.13. Continued Existence.

Subject to Article V hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its corporate or other existence and the corporate or other existence of Finance Corp. and each Guarantor in accordance with the organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or Finance Corp. or such Guarantor and (ii) the material rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company or Finance Corp. or such Guarantor, except to the extent that the applicable Board of Directors determines in good faith that the preservation of such right, license or franchise is no longer necessary or desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuers and the Guarantors, taken as a whole.

Section 4.14. Insurance Matters.

The Company shall provide or cause to be provided, for itself and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, insurance (including appropriate self-insurance) against loss or damage of the kinds that, in the reasonable, good faith opinion of the Company, are adequate and appropriate for the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in a prudent manner, with reputable insurers or with the government of the United States of America or an agency or instrumentality thereof, in such amounts, with such deductibles, and by such methods as shall be customary, in the reasonable, good faith opinion of the Company, for corporations similarly situated in the industry, unless the failure to provide such insurance (together with all other such failures) would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Section 4.15. Offer to Repurchase upon Change of Control.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes shall have the right to require the Issuers to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of such Holder’s Notes (a “Change of Control Offer”) at a Purchase Price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, thereon to the Purchase Date. The Change of Control Offer shall be made in compliance with the applicable procedures set forth in Article III hereof and shall include all instructions and materials necessary to enable Holders to tender their Notes.

The Issuers will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuers and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

The Issuers will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under this Section 4.15 by virtue thereof.

Section 4.16. Guarantees of Restricted Subsidiaries.

Each Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (other than a Foreign Restricted Subsidiary) shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee on a senior basis all obligations of the Issuers under the Notes, and shall agree to be bound by this Indenture and the Collateral Documents and, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, pledge its assets as collateral for its Guarantee in accordance therewith.

Section 4.17. Conduct of Business.

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

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of Notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid or is paid to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

Section 4.19. Events of Loss.

(a) In the event of an Event of Loss with respect to any Primary Collateral, the Company or the affected Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, will apply the Net Loss Proceeds from such Event of Loss, within 360 days after receipt, at its option:

(2) to make capital expenditures with respect to Primary Collateral or to acquire properties or assets that will (a) constitute Primary Collateral and (b) be used or useful in the Permitted Business of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that any Collateral acquired with any Net Loss Proceeds shall be owned by the Company or a Guarantor and shall not be subject to any Liens other than Permitted Liens and the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Trustee such Collateral Documents or other instruments as shall be reasonably necessary to cause such property or assets to become subject to the Lien of the applicable Collateral Documents; and/or

(3) a combination of the uses permitted by the foregoing clauses (1) and (2);

provided that if during such 360-day period the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary enters into a definitive agreement committing it to apply such Net Loss Proceeds in accordance with the requirements of clause (a)(1) or (a) (2) or if the application of such Net Loss Proceeds is part of a project authorized by the Board of Directors in good faith that will take longer than 360 days to complete, and such project has begun, such 360-day period will be extended with respect to the amount of Net Loss Proceeds so committed until required to be paid in accordance with such agreement (or, if earlier, until termination of such agreement) or until completion of such project, as the case may be.

-56-

(b) On the 361st day after an Event of Loss or, if later, the extended date provided in the preceding paragraph (a “Loss Proceeds Offer Trigger Date”), such aggregate amount of Net Loss Proceeds which have not been applied on or before such Loss Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as permitted in clauses (a)(1), (a)(2) and (a)(3) (each a “Loss Proceeds Offer Amount”) shall be applied by the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor to make an offer to purchase (the “Loss Proceeds Offer”) on a date (the “Loss Proceeds Offer Payment Date”) not less than 30 nor more than 45 days following the applicable Loss Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, from all Holders on a pro rata basis, that amount of Notes equal to the Loss Proceeds Offer Amount at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase. Pending application of the Net Loss Proceeds, the Net Loss Proceeds shall be deposited in the Collateral Account. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes tendered pursuant to a Loss Proceeds Offer is less than the Loss Proceeds Offer Amount, the Company may apply any remaining Net Loss Proceeds to any purpose consistent with this Indenture and, following the consummation of each Loss Proceeds Offer, the Loss Proceeds Offer Amount shall be reset to zero. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the Issuers may commence a Loss Proceeds Offer prior to the expiration of 360 days after the occurrence of an Event of Loss.

(c) The Issuers may defer any Loss Proceeds Offer until there is an aggregate unutilized Total Offer Amount equal to or in excess of $10.0 million (at which time, the entire unutilized Total Offer Amount, and not just the amount in excess of $10.0 million, shall be applied as required pursuant to the preceding paragraph).

(d) The Issuers will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to a Loss Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any applicable securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuers will comply with such securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof.

(ii) appoints a custodian or receiver of the Company, Finance Corp. or any Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of any of the foregoing;

Section 6.2. Acceleration.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(f) or (g) hereof with respect to either Issuer) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes may declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Issuers and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration” (an “Acceleration Notice”), and the same shall become immediately due and payable.

-61-

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(f) or (g) hereof occurs and is continuing with respect to either Issuer, then all unpaid principal of and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become and be due and payable without any declaration or act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Issuers and the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences:

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

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

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

(4) if the Issuers have paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances; and

(5) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 6.1(f) or (g) hereof, the Trustee shall have received an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

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

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, and any recovery or judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes. 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.

Section 6.4. Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may waive any existing Default or Event of Default under this Indenture, and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Notes. 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.

-62-

Section 6.5. Control by Majority.

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it.

(c) such Holder or Holders of Notes offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and

(e) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to any such Holder).

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 (x) have become due and payable or (y) will become due and payable on the maturity date within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuers.

Section 8.5. Deposited Money and U.S. Government Securities to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to Section 8.6 hereof, all money and U.S. Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.5 only, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (other than either of the Issuers) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal or Redemption Price of, and Additional Interest, if any, interest on, the Notes, that such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Issuers shall pay and indemnify, on a joint and several basis, the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or U.S. Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

Anything in this Article VIII to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuers from time to time upon the request of the Issuers any money or U.S. Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.4 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent

-72-

public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.4(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.6. Repayment to the Issuers.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by either of the Issuers, in trust for the payment of the principal, Redemption Price or Purchase Price of, or Additional Interest, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuers on their written request or (if then held by either of the Issuers) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof as a general creditor, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, at the expense of the Company, may cause to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national editions), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days after the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuers.

Section 8.7. Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or U.S. Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order of judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations of the Issuers under this Indenture, and the Notes and the Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if either of the Issuers makes any payment with respect to any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE IX

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.1. Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

Notwithstanding Section 9.2 of this Indenture, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes, any Security Document or any other agreement or instrument entered into by it in connection with this Indenture, the Notes or the Collateral Documents without the consent of any Holder of a Note:

(a) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency so long as such change does not, in the opinion of the Trustee (which opinion may be formulated in reliance on such evidence as the Trustee deems appropriate, including, without limitation, solely on an opinion of counsel), adversely affect the rights of any of the Holders in any material respect.

(b) to provide for uncertificated notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes;

(c) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s obligations to the Holders of the Notes in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets pursuant to Article V hereof;

(d) to comply with the requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

(e) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder of the Notes; or

(f) to enter into a supplemental indenture to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes.

Upon the request of the Issuers, accompanied by a resolution of the Board (evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate) authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.6 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Issuers 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 Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.2. With Consent of Holders of Notes.

Except as provided below in this Section 9.2, the Issuers (and, if applicable, the Guarantors) and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral Documents and any other agreement or instrument entered into by it in connection with this Indenture, the Notes or the Collateral Documents with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.2, 6.4 and 6.7 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes).

Without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

(1) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment;

(2) reduce the rate of or change or have the effect of changing the time for payment of interest, including defaulted interest, on any Notes;

(3) reduce the principal of or change or have the effect of changing the fixed maturity of any Notes, or change the date on which any Notes may be subject to redemption or reduce the redemption price therefor;

(4) make any Notes payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;

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

-74-

(6) after the Issuers’ obligation to purchase Notes arises hereunder, amend, change or modify in any material respect the obligation of the Issuers to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of Control, or make and consummate a Net Proceeds Offer with respect to any Asset Sale that has been consummated or make and consummate a Loss Proceeds Offer with respect to any Event of Loss that has occurred or, after such Change of Control has occurred, such Asset Sale has been consummated, or such Event of Loss has occurred, as the case may be, modify any of the provisions or definitions with respect thereto;

(7) subordinate the Notes or any Guarantee to any other Indebtedness; or

(8) except as otherwise permitted herein, release any Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary or substantially all of the Collateral.

Upon the written request of the Issuers accompanied by a resolution of their Board (evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate) authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.6 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Issuers in the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture unless such amended or supplemental Indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under 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 9.2 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 9.2 becomes effective, the Issuers shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuers to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental Indenture or waiver.

Section 9.3. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in a amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

Section 9.4. Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and therefore binds every Holder.

-75-

Section 9.5. 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 Issuers in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall 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 9.6. Trustee to Sign Amendment, Etc.

The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Issuers may not sign an amendment or supplemental Indenture until their respective Board of Directors approves such amendment or supplemental indenture. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be provided with, in addition to the documents required by Sections 15.4 and 15.5 hereof, and, subject to Section 7.1, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, (ii) no Event of Default shall occur as a result of the execution of the amended or supplemental indenture which is the subject of such Officers’ Certificate or the delivery of such Opinion of Counsel and (iii) the amended or supplemental indenture complies with the terms of this Indenture.

Section 11.6. Waiver of Subrogation.

Until all Obligations are paid in full, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claims or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against either of the Issuers that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under the Guarantee and this Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification, and any

-84-

right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder against either of the Issuers, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from either of the Issuers, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Notes shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders, and shall, forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied upon the Notes, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 11.6 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 11.7. Execution of Guarantee.

To evidence their guarantee to the Holders set forth in this Article XI, the Guarantors hereby agree to execute the Guarantee in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, which shall be endorsed on each Note ordered to be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

Each such Guarantee shall be signed on behalf of each Guarantor by one of its authorized Officers prior to the authentication of the Note on which it is endorsed, and the delivery of such Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of such Guarantee on behalf of such Guarantor. Such signatures upon the Guarantee may be by manual or facsimile signature of such officers and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Guarantee, and in case any such officer who shall have signed the Guarantee shall cease to be such officer before the Note on which such Guarantee is endorsed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Issuers, such Note nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed the Guarantee had not ceased to be such officer of the Guarantor.

Section 11.8. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.

Each Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive each such Guarantor from performing its Guarantee as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) each such Guarantor hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

(Back of Note)

10.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2012

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

1. Interest. The Issuers promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate of 10.25% per annum from the date of original issuance until maturity and shall pay Additional Interest pursuant to Section 4 of the Registration Rights Agreement referred below. The Issuers will pay interest and Additional Interest semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Note will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be November 15, 2004. The Issuers shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue payments of the principal, Purchase Price and Redemption Price of this Note from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest, if any, (without regard to any applicable grace periods) hereon from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

2. Method of Payment. The Issuers will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Additional Interest, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the May 1 and November 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Any such installment of interest or Additional Interest, if any, not punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holders on such Interest Payment Date, and may be paid to the registered Holders at the close of business on a special interest payment date to be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such defaulted interest, notice whereof shall be given to the registered Holders not less than ten days prior to such special interest payment date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. The Notes will be payable as to principal, Redemption Price, Purchase Price, interest and Additional Interest, if any, at the office or agency of the Issuers maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuers, payment of interest and Additional Interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal, Redemption Price and Purchase Price of, and interest and Additional Interest (if any) on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Trustee or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, The Bank of New York, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. Either of the Issuers may act in any such capacity.

4. Indenture and Guarantees. The Issuers issued $150 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes under an Indenture dated as of May 5, 2004 (the “Indenture”) among the Issuers, the

A-4

Guarantors and the Trustee and may issue up to an additional $50 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes under the Indenture in accordance with the provisions thereof. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S.C. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes include all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. The Notes are general obligations of the Company.

5. Optional Redemption. The Issuers may redeem any or all of the Notes at any time on or after May 15, 2008, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice in amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof at the Redemption Prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) set forth below, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning May 15 of the years indicated below:


Year	Redemption Price
2008	102.563	%
2009	105.125	%
2010 and thereafter	100.000	%

in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed.

If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the particular Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed by lot, pro rata or by any other method the Trustee shall deem fair and reasonable.

6. Special Redemption. In the event the Issuers complete one or more Equity Offerings on or before May 15, 2007, the Issuers, at their option, may use the net cash proceeds from any such Public Equity Offering to redeem up to 35% of the original principal amount of the Notes (a “Special Redemption”) at a Redemption Price of 110.25% of the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest (if any), to the date of redemption; provided, however, that at least 65% of the original principal amount of the Notes will remain outstanding immediately after any such redemption; and provided, further, that such redemption shall occur within 90 days after the date of the closing of any such Equity Offering. If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the particular Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed either: (1) in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed; or (2) by lot, only on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to DTC procedures).

7. Mandatory Redemption. Except as set forth in Paragraph 9 below with respect to repurchases of Notes in certain events, the Issuers shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments with respect to the Notes.

8. Notice of Redemption. Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, a notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days (or 45 days in the case of mandatory redemption) before the Redemption Date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption as long as the Issuers have deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable redemption price.

9. Repurchase at Option of Holder.

A-5

each Holder’s Notes at a Purchase Price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of repurchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuers shall send by first-class mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

(b) On the 361st day after an Asset Sale (the “Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date”), such aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds which have not been applied on or before such Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as permitted in clauses (6)(a), (3)(b) and (6)(c) of paragraph (a) of Section 4.10 of the Indenture (each, a “Net Proceeds Offer Amount”) shall be applied by the Issuers or such Restricted Subsidiary to make an offer to purchase (the “Net Proceeds Offer”), on a date (the “Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date”) not less than 30 nor more than 45 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, from all Holders on a pro rata basis, that amount of Notes equal to the Net Proceeds Offer Amount at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase. Each Net Proceeds Offer will be mailed to the record Holders as shown on the register of Holders within 25 days following the Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, with a copy to the Trustee, and shall comply with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. Upon receiving notice of the Net Proceeds Offer, Holders may elect to tender their Notes in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000 in exchange for cash. To the extent Holders properly tender Notes in an amount exceeding the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the tendered Notes will be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate amounts of Notes tendered (and the Trustee shall select the tendered Notes of tendering Holders on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Notes tendered). A Net Proceeds Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 business days or such longer period as may be required by law. The Issuers may defer the Net Proceeds Offer until there is an aggregate unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount that, when added to the Net Loss Proceeds the accumulated, is equal to or in excess of $10.0 million (the “Total Offer Amount”) (at which time, the entire unutilized Total Offer Amount, and not just the amount in excess of $10.0 million, shall be applied as required above).

(c) On the 361st day after an Event of Loss or, if later, the extended date provided in the preceding paragraph (a “Loss Proceeds Offer Trigger Date”), such aggregate amount of Net Loss Proceeds which have not been applied on or before such Loss Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as permitted in Sections 4.19(a)(1), (a)(2) and (a)(3) of the Indenture (each a “Loss Proceeds Offer Amount”) shall be applied by the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor to make an offer to purchase (the “Loss Proceeds Offer”) on a date (the “Loss Proceeds Offer Payment Date”) not less than 30 nor more than 45 days following the applicable Loss Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, from all Holders on a pro rata basis, that amount of Notes equal to the Loss Proceeds Offer Amount at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Excess Loss Proceeds to be used to purchase Notes, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes tendered pursuant to a Loss Proceeds Offer is less than the Loss Proceeds Offer Amount, the Issuers may apply any remaining Net Loss Proceeds to any purpose consistent with the Indenture and, following the consummation of each Loss Proceeds Offer, the Loss Proceeds Offer Amount shall be reset to zero. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the Issuers may commence a Loss Proceeds Offer prior to the expiration of 360 days after the occurrence of an Event of Loss. The Issuers may defer any Loss Proceeds Offer until there is an aggregate unutilized Total Offer Amount equal to or in excess of $10.0 million (at which time, the entire unutilized Total Offer Amount, and not just the amount in excess of $10.0 million, shall be applied as required above)..

10. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuers may require a

A-6

Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuers 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, it need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

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

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

13. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default include: (i) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest or Additional Interest, on the Notes; (ii) default in payment when due of stated principal, Redemption Price or Purchase Price of the Notes when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon redemption, repurchase or otherwise (including the failure to make a payment to purchase Notes tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, a Net Proceeds Offer or a Loss Proceeds Offer); (iii) failure by the Issuers to comply with any covenant contained in the Indenture or in the Collateral Documents for 45 days after notice to the Issuers by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding; (iv) default under certain other agreements relating to Indebtedness of the Issuers which default (a) is caused by a failure to pay any amount due at the stated maturity thereof or (b) results in the acceleration (which acceleration is not rescinded, annulled or otherwise cured within 20 days of receipt of notice of any such acceleration) of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity and, in each case, the principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a default for failure to pay principal at final stated maturity or the maturity of which has been so accelerated (in each case with respect to which the 20-day period described above has elapsed), aggregates $10.0 million or more; (v) certain final judgments for the payment of money that remain undischarged for a period of 60 days, provided that the aggregate of all such undischarged judgments exceeds $10.0 million; and (vi) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company, Finance Corp. or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, the entire principal amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes shall become immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to payment on any Note) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may waive any existing or past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture, and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, or interest on any Notes. The Issuers are required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuers are required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

A-7
