Securities offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of the Legended Regulation S Global Security, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Securities represented thereby with the Trustee, as custodian for DTC in The City of New York, and registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary for the accounts of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. Following the termination of the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in the Legended Regulation S Global Security may be exchanged for beneficial interests in Unlegended Regulation S Global Securities pursuant to Section 2.06 and the Applicable Procedures. Simultaneously with the authentication of Unlegended Regulation S Global Securities, the Trustee shall cancel the Legended Regulation S Global Security. The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Global Securities may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, in connection with transfers of interest as hereinafter provided.

(d) Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. The provisions of the “The Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” published by Euroclear and the “General Terms and Conditions” and “Customer Handbook” published by Clearstream shall be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Securities that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.

SECTION 2.02. Execution and Authentication.

At least one Officer of the Company shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time a Security is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be valid.

A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.

The aggregate principal amount of Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited.

The Company may, subject to Article Four of this Indenture and applicable law, issue Additional Securities under this Indenture, including Exchange Securities. The Securities issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Securities subsequently issued shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture.

At any time and from time to time after the execution of this Indenture, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by an Officer of the Company (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Securities for original issue in an aggregate principal amount specified in such Authentication Order. The Authentication Order shall specify the amount of Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the Securities are to be authenticated.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Company.

SECTION 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent.

The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Company may have one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent.

The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent and shall, if required, incorporate the provisions of the TIA. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any such Agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.07.

The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company shall give written notice to the Trustee in the event that the Company decides to act as Registrar. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates may act as Paying Agent.

The Company initially appoints DTC to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Securities.

SECTION 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

The Company shall require each Paying Agent to agree in writing to hold in trust for the benefit of Securityholders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities (whether such money has been paid to it by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities), and the Company and the Paying Agent shall each notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company (or any other obligor on the Securities) in making any such payment. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon making such payment the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.

SECTION 2.05. Securityholder Lists.

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Securityholders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Securityholders.

SECTION 2.06. Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities. A Global Security may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Securities shall be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Securities if (i) DTC (A) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Securities and the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days after receiving such notice or (B) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days after becoming aware of such condition; (ii) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Definitive Securities; provided that in no event shall the Legended Regulation S Global Security be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Securities other than in accordance with Section 2.06(c)(ii); or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities. Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events in (i), (ii) or (iii) above, Definitive Securities shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Securities also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10. Every Security authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Sections 2.07 or 2.10, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security.

At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Security is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security or for Definitive Securities, the principal amount of Securities represented by such Global Security shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Security by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security, such other Global Security shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Security by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

(j) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Securities and Definitive Securities upon the Company’s order or at the Registrar’s request.

(ii) No service charge shall be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Security or to a Holder of a Definitive Security for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 4.05, 4.14 and 10.05).

(iii) The Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Security selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

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

(v) The Company shall not be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Securities for redemption under Section 3.02 and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part, (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Security between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date or (D) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Security tendered and not withdrawn in connection with an Offer to Purchase.

(vi) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Security, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Securities and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

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

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 with originals to follow by mail.

SECTION 2.07. Replacement Securities.

If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, the Holder shall provide an indemnity bond in an amount sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company and the Trustee each may charge such Holder for its expenses in replacing such Security.

Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company.

SECTION 2.08. Outstanding Securities.

Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of its Affiliates holds the Security.

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

If the Paying Agent holds on a redemption date or Maturity Date money sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

SECTION 2.09. Treasury Securities.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates shall be disregarded, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities that a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

The Trustee may require an Officers’ Certificate listing securities owned by the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates.

SECTION 2.10. Temporary Securities.

Until certificates representing Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be

substantially in the form of Definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities. Until such exchange, temporary Securities shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as Definitive Securities.

SECTION 2.11. Cancellation.

The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace, reissue or resell Securities which the Company has redeemed, paid, purchased on the open market or otherwise, or otherwise acquired or have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee (subject to the record-retention requirements of the Exchange Act) may, but shall not be required to, dispose of such canceled Securities.

SECTION 2.12. Defaulted Interest.

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus any interest payable on the defaulted interest pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof, to the persons who are Securityholders on a subsequent special record date, and such term, as used in this Section 2.12 with respect to the payment of any defaulted interest, shall mean the fifteenth day next preceding the date fixed by the Company for the payment of defaulted interest, whether or not such day is a Business Day. At least 30 days before such special record date, the Company shall mail to each Securityholder and to the Trustee a notice that states such special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

SECTION 2.13. CUSIP or ISIN Number.

The Company in issuing the Securities may use a “CUSIP” or “ISIN” number, and if so, such CUSIP or ISIN number shall be included in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP or ISIN number printed in the notice or on the Securities, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN number.

SECTION 2.14. Payments of Interest.

(a) The Holder of a Definitive Security at the close of business on the regular record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Definitive Security subsequent to the regular record date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, except if and to the extent the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date, in which case such defaulted interest shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.12; and in the event of an exchange of a Definitive Security for a beneficial

interest in any Global Security subsequent to a regular record date or any special record date and prior to or on the related Interest Payment Date or other payment date under Section 2.12, any payment of the interest payable on such payment date with respect to any such Definitive Security shall be made to the Person in whose name such Definitive Security was registered on such record date. Payments of interest on the Global Securities will be made on each Interest Payment Date to the Holder of the Global Security on the record date with respect thereto; provided, however, that, in the event of an exchange of all or a portion of a Global Security for a Definitive Security subsequent to the regular record date or any special record date and prior to or on the related Interest Payment Date or other payment date under Section 2.12, any payment of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date or other payment date with respect to the Definitive Security shall be made to the Holder of the Global Security as of the applicable record date.

(b) Subject to Section 4.01, interest shall be paid to DTC, with respect to any Global Security held by DTC, on the applicable Interest Payment Date in accordance with instructions received from DTC at least five Business Days before the applicable Interest Payment Date.

The Trustee may select for redemption portions (equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal of Securities that have denominations larger than $2,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption.

SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption.

At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first class mail to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed.

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

(1) the redemption date;

(2) the redemption price;

(3) the CUSIP number (subject to Section 2.13);

(4) the name and address of the Paying Agent to which the Securities are to be surrendered for redemption;

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

(6) that, unless the Company defaults in making the redemption payment, interest on Securities called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date and the only remaining right of the Holders is to receive payment of the redemption price upon surrender to the Paying Agent; and

(7) if any Security is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Security to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption on behalf of the Company, in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided that the Company has provided the information required to be in such notice by this Section 3.03 to the Trustee at least five (5) days prior to the date on which such notice of redemption is to be given.

SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once a notice of redemption is mailed, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price, plus accrued interest thereon to the redemption date, but interest installments whose maturity is on or prior to such redemption date shall be payable to the Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant record dates referred to in the Securities. The Trustee shall not be required to (i) issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning 15 days before the date a notice of redemption is mailed and ending at the close of business on the date the redemption notice is mailed, or (ii) register the transfer or exchange of any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

SECTION 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price.

Prior to 10:00 a.m. on the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Securities to be redeemed on that date other than Securities or portions thereof called for redemption on that date which have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation.

COVENANTS

SECTION 4.01. Payment of Securities.

The Company shall pay the principal of and interest on the Securities in the manner provided in the Securities. An installment of principal or interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Trustee or Paying Agent holds on that date money designated for and sufficient to pay the installment in full and is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders of the Securities pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the same rate per annum borne by the Securities. The Company shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate per annum borne by the Securities, to the extent lawful.

SECTION 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the address of the Trustee set forth in Section 13.02.

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

The Company hereby designates the principal Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.03.

SECTION 4.03. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.

The Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, enter into any transaction with any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary), including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of property, the rendering of any service, or the making of any guarantee, loan, advance or Investment, either directly or indirectly, unless the terms of such transaction are at least as favorable as the terms that could be obtained at such time by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in a comparable transaction made on an arms-length basis with a Person that is not such an Affiliate; provided, however, that (x) in any transaction involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million, the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee stating that a majority of the disinterested directors of the Board of Directors of the Company have determined, in their good faith judgment, that the terms of such transaction are at least as favorable as the terms that could be obtained by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in a comparable transaction made on an arms-length basis between unaffiliated parties and (y), if the aggregate consideration is in excess of $25.0 million, the Company shall obtain, prior to the consummation of the transaction, a letter from a nationally recognized accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm as to the fairness of the transaction to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or stating that the terms of such transaction are at least as favorable as the terms that could be obtained at such time by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in a comparable transaction made on an arms-length basis between unaffiliated parties. The provisions of this covenant shall not apply to: (i) transactions permitted by the provisions of Section 4.06 and Permitted Investments; (ii) reasonable fees and compensation paid to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors and employees of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company; (iii) loans or advances to employees or consultants which are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith; (iv) transactions made in accordance with agreements in existence on the Issue Date (including pursuant to any amendment thereto; provided, however, that any such amendment is not more disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect), as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith; (v) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture which, in the reasonable determination of a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company or the senior management thereof, are fair to the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party; (vi) any transaction with a Restricted Subsidiary or joint venture or similar entity which would constitute a transaction with an Affiliate solely because the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an equity interest in or otherwise controls such Restricted Subsidiary, joint venture or similar entity; (vii) transactions in which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from a nationally recognized accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm as to the fairness of the transaction to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or stating that the terms of such transaction are at least as favorable as the terms that could be

obtained at such time by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in a comparable transaction made on an arms-length basis between unaffiliated parties; and (viii) the issuance or sale of any Qualified Stock of the Company.

SECTION 4.04. Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness.

(iii) Indebtedness owed by the Company to any Restricted Subsidiary or Indebtedness owed by a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that upon either (I) the transfer or other disposition by such Restricted Subsidiary or the Company of any Indebtedness so permitted under this clause (iii) to a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or (II) the issuance (other than directors’ qualifying shares), sale, transfer or other disposition of shares of Capital Stock or other ownership interests (including by consolidation or merger) of such Restricted Subsidiary that results in such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, the exception provided by this clause (iii) shall no longer be applicable to such Indebtedness and such Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been Incurred at the time of any such issuance, sale, transfer or other disposition, as the case may be;

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.04, guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness, which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness, shall not be included.

In addition, for purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.04, in the event that any proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories described in clauses (i) through (xv) of this Section 4.04, the Company will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness at the time of its Incurrence in any manner that complies with this covenant. In addition, any Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) originally classified as Incurred pursuant to clauses (i) through (xv) of this Section 4.04 may later be reclassified by the Company such that it will be deemed as having been Incurred pursuant to another of such clauses to the extent that such reclassified Indebtedness could be incurred pursuant to such new clause at the time of such reclassification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indebtedness under the Credit Facilities outstanding on the Issue Date will be deemed to have been Incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (ii) of this Section 4.04.

SECTION 4.05. Limitation on Certain Asset Dispositions.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, cause, make or suffer to exist an Asset Disposition, unless (x) the Company, or its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Disposition at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Capital Stock issued or sold or otherwise disposed of and (y) at least 75% of the proceeds from such Asset Disposition when received consists of either (I) cash or Cash Equivalents or (II) property or assets that are used or useful in the business of the Company or a Similar Business, or Capital Stock of any Person primarily engaged in a Similar Business if, as a result of the acquisition by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof, such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the amount of any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Securities) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to an agreement that releases the Company or Restricted Subsidiary from further liability shall be deemed to be cash for the purposes of this provision.

For purposes of this Section 4.05, the following are deemed to be Cash Equivalents:

(i) any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent available internal balance sheet or in the notes thereto) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary constituting Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company, but including Indebtedness other than Subordinated Indebtedness secured by assets of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) (a) that is assumed by the transferee of any such assets and for which the Company and all

Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing, (b) in respect of which neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary following such sale has any obligation and (c) that is Pari Passu Indebtedness;

(ii) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Disposition; and

(iii) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Disposition having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (iii) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed $10.0 million at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value).

(b) Within 365 days after the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt thereof, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may apply the Net Available Proceeds from such Asset Disposition to (i) repay Indebtedness secured by such assets or unsubordinated secured indebtedness and, in each case, permanently reduce any related commitment thereunder; (ii) make an investment in property, capital expenditures or assets that are used or useful in the business of the Company or a Similar Business, or Capital Stock of any Person primarily engaged in a Similar Business if, as a result of such acquisition by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or (iii) any combination of (i) and (ii) above.

(c) To the extent all or part of the Net Available Proceeds of any Asset Disposition are not applied as described in the immediately preceding paragraph within the time periods set forth therein (the “Net Proceeds Utilization Date”) (such Net Available Proceeds, the “Unutilized Net Available Proceeds”), the Company shall, within ten Business Days after such Net Proceeds Utilization Date, make an Offer to Purchase all outstanding Securities and Pari Passu Indebtedness, pro rata up to a maximum principal amount (expressed as a multiple of $1,000) of Securities and Pari Passu Indebtedness equal to such Unutilized Net Available Proceeds, at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the Purchase Date; provided, however, that the Offer to Purchase may be deferred until there are aggregate Unutilized Net Available Proceeds equal to or in excess of $15.0 million, at which time the entire amount of such Unutilized Net Available Proceeds, and not just the amount in excess of $15.0 million, shall be applied as required pursuant to this paragraph. Pending the final application of any such Net Available Proceeds, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility, if any, or otherwise invest such Net Available Proceeds in Cash Equivalents. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Securities and Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Offer to Purchase is less than the Unutilized Net Available Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes.

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

SECTION 6.01. Events of Default.

An “Event of Default” occurs if:

(a) the Company fails to pay principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security when due;

(b) the Company fails to pay any interest on any Security when due, continued for 30 days;

(c) the Company defaults in the payment of principal of and interest on Securities required to be purchased pursuant to an Offer to Purchase under Section 4.05 or 4.14 hereof when due and payable;

(d) the Company fails to perform or comply with any of the provisions of Section 5.01;

(e) the Company fails to perform any other covenant or agreement of the Company under this Indenture or the Securities and such failure continues for 30 days after written notice to the Company by the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities;

(f) the Company defaults under the terms of one or more instruments evidencing or securing Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries having an outstanding principal amount of $15.0 million or more individually or in the aggregate that has resulted in the acceleration of the payment of such Indebtedness or failure to pay principal when due at the stated maturity of any such Indebtedness;

(g) the rendering of a final judgment or judgments (not subject to appeal) against the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries (to the extent such judgments are not paid or covered by insurance provided by a reputable carrier that has the ability to perform and has acknowledged coverage in writing) in an amount of $15.0 million or more which remains undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days after the date on which the right to appeal has expired;

(h) the Company or any Material Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(1) commences a voluntary case or proceeding,

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

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

(3) orders the liquidation of the Company or any Material Subsidiary,

and in each case the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days; provided, however, that if the entry of such order or decree is appealed and dismissed on appeal then the Event of Default hereunder by reason of the entry of such order or decree shall be deemed to have been cured; or

(j) any Guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect or is declared null and void and unenforceable or is found to be invalid or any Guarantor denies its liability under its Guarantee (other than by reason of a release of such Guarantor from its Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Guarantee).

The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, U.S. Code, as amended, or any similar Federal, state or foreign law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with respect to the Company specified in Section 6.01(h) or (i)) shall occur and be continuing, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities may accelerate the maturity of all Securities; provided, however, that after such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities may rescind and annul such acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal, have been cured or waived as provided in this Indenture. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or (i) with respect to the Company occurs, the outstanding Securities will ipso facto become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy maturing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Default.

Subject to Sections 2.09, 6.07 and 10.02, prior to the declaration of acceleration of the Securities, (i) the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities by written notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default and its consequences, except a Default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Security as specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b), a default arising from failure to effect an Offer to Purchase required under Section 4.14 or a Default in respect of any term or provision of this Indenture that may not be amended or modified without the consent of each Holder affected as provided in Section 10.02 and (ii) the Holders of three-fourths of the aggregate principal amount of Securities affected thereby, on behalf of all Holders, may waive a default arising from failure to effect an Offer to Purchase required under Section 4.14. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the requisite percentage of Holders have consented to such waiver and attaching copies of such consents. In case of any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the Securities, respectively. This paragraph of this Section 6.04 shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA and such Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the Securities, as permitted by the TIA.

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Indenture and the Securities, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority.

Subject to Section 2.09, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Securityholder, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other

action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. In the event the Trustee takes any action or follows any direction pursuant to this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against any loss or expense caused by taking such action or following such direction. This Section 6.05 shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(A) of the TIA, and such Section 316(a)(1)(A) of the TIA is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the Securities, as permitted by the TIA.

SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits.

A Securityholder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless:

(1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities make a written request to the Trustee to pursue a remedy;

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

(4) the Trustee does not comply with the request specified in (2) above within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and

(5) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities (excluding Affiliates of the Company) do not give the Trustee a direction which, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with the request specified in (2) above.

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

The limitations in this Section 6.06 do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of a Security for enforcement of payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or of interest on such Security on or after the respective due dates therefor.

SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on the Securities, on or after the respective due dates therefor, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default in payment of interest or principal specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own

name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any other obligor on the Securities for the whole amount of principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest overdue on principal and to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate per annum borne by the Securities and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Securityholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by each Securityholder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 6.10. Priorities.

If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article Six, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07;

Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal and interest, respectively; and

Third: to the Company.

The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Company, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Securityholders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the

costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 shall not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder or group of Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement or the payment of the principal or interest on any Securities on or after the respective due dates therefor.

TRUSTEE

SECTION 7.01. Duties of Trustee.

(a) If a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(1) This paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01;

(d) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or to take or omit to take any action under this Indenture or take any action at the request or direction of Holders if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds is not assured to it or it does not receive an indemnity satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against such risk, liability, loss, fee or expense which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(e) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

Subject to Section 7.01:

(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting on any document whether in its original or facsimile form believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

(e) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Securityholders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered

to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(f) Provided the Trustee acts in good faith, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture.

(h) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian or other Person employed to act hereunder.

SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee is subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

SECTION 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company in this Indenture or any document issued in connection with the sale of Securities or any statement in the Securities other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults.

The Trustee shall, within 30 days after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities, give the Holders notice of all uncured Defaults or Events of Default actually known to it; provided, however, that, except in the case of an Event of Default or a Default in payment with respect to the Securities or a Default or Event of Default in complying with Section 5.01, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the Board of Directors of the Trustee, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or responsible officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders.

SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders.

If required by TIA Section 313(a), within 60 days after each July 1 beginning with the July 1 following the date of this Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder a report dated as of such July 1 that complies with TIA Section 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b), (c) and (d).

A copy of each such report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders shall be filed with the Commission, the Company and each stock exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed in accordance with TIA Section 313(d).

The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing if the Securities become listed on any securities exchange or of any delisting therefrom.

SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity.

The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for its services. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable disbursements, expenses and advances (including reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of its agents and counsel) incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services except any such disbursements, expenses and advances as shall be determined to have been caused by the Trustee’s own negligence or bad faith. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents, accountants, experts and counsel and any taxes or other expenses incurred by a trust created pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof.

The Company shall indemnify the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and their agents for, and hold them harmless against any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense, including taxes (other than franchise taxes imposed on the Trustee and taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee), arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this Section 7.07) and of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by any Securityholder or the Company or any other person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent that such loss, damage, claim, liability or expense is due to

their own negligence or bad faith. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee of which a Trust Officer has received written notice for which it may seek indemnity. However, the failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder (unless and only to the extent that such failure results in the loss or compromise of any rights or defenses). The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense (and may employ its own counsel) at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that the Company’s reimbursement obligation with respect to counsel employed by the Trustee will be limited to the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

To the extent permitted by the Senior Credit Facility, to secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Securities against all money or property held or collected by the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee, in their capacity as Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay principal of or interest on particular Securities.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or (i) occurs, the expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) and the compensation for the services shall be preferred over the status of the Holders in a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law and are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. The Company’s obligations under this Section 7.07 and any claim arising hereunder shall survive the resignation or removal of any Trustee, the discharge of the Company’s obligations pursuant to Article Nine and any rejection or termination under any Bankruptcy Law.

The provisions of this Section 7.07 shall survive the termination of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee.

SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee.

The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company in writing. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Company’s consent. The Company may remove the Trustee if:

(1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

(2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent under any Bankruptcy Law;

(3) a custodian or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. As promptly as practicable after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer, after payment of all sums then owing to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07, all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided in Section 7.07, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Securityholder.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Securityholder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.

If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or banking corporation, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification.

This Indenture shall always have a Trustee which shall be eligible to act as Trustee under TIA Sections 310(a)(1) and 310(a)(5). The Trustee (or in the case of a corporation included in a bank holding company, the related bank holding company) shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. If the Trustee has or shall acquire any “conflicting interest” within the meaning of TIA Section 310(b), the Trustee and the Company shall comply with the provisions of TIA Section 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA Section 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Company are outstanding, if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA Section 310(b)(1) are met. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinbefore specified in this Article Seven.

SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

In addition to the provisions of Section 9.01(a), the Company may, provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would arise therefrom, terminate its substantive obligations and the substantive obligations of the Guarantors, if any, in respect of the Securities and the Guarantees (except for the Company’s obligation to pay the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and the interest on the Securities and such Guarantors’ guarantee thereof) by (i) depositing with the Trustee, under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement, money or Government Obligations sufficient (without reinvestment) to pay all remaining indebtedness on the Securities to maturity or to redemption, (ii) delivering to the Trustee either an Opinion of Counsel or a ruling directed to the Trustee from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and termination of obligations and (iii) delivering to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that there has been compliance with all conditions precedent provided for herein.

(c) Legal Defeasance. In addition to the provisions of Section 9.01(a) and (b), the Company may, provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would arise therefrom, terminate all of its substantive obligations and all of the substantive obligations of the Guarantors, if any, in respect of the Securities and the Guarantees (including the Company’s obligation to pay the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on the Securities and such Guarantors’ guarantee thereof) by (i) depositing with the Trustee, under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement, money or Government Obligations sufficient (without reinvestment) to pay all remaining indebtedness on the Securities to maturity or to redemption, (ii) delivering to the Trustee either a ruling directed to the Trustee from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and termination of obligations or an Opinion of Counsel based upon such a ruling addressed to the Trustee or a change in the applicable Federal tax law since the date of this Indenture, to such effect and (iii) delivering to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that there has been compliance with all conditions precedent provided for herein.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 9.01 above, the Company’s obligations contained in Sections 2.03, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 4.02, 7.07, 7.08, 9.03 and 9.04 shall survive until the Securities are no longer outstanding. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph (b) of this Section 9.01, the Company’s obligations contained in Section 4.01 shall also survive until the Securities are no longer outstanding. Thereafter the Company’s obligations in Sections 7.07, 9.03 and 9.04 shall survive. After such delivery or irrevocable deposit and delivery of an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel,

the Trustee upon request of the Company shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ (if any) obligations under the Securities, the Guarantees and this Indenture other than those surviving obligations specified in this Section 9.01(d).

SECTION 9.02. Application of Trust Money.

The Trustee shall hold in trust money or Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to Section 9.01, and shall apply the deposited money and the money from Government Obligations in accordance with this Indenture solely to the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities. The Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 9.01 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 outstanding Securities.

SECTION 9.03. Repayment to Company.

Subject to Sections 7.07 and 9.01, the Trustee shall promptly pay to the Company upon receipt by the Trustee of the Company’s written request accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate any excess money held by it at any time.

After payment to the Company, Securityholders entitled to money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person, and all liability of the Trustee or Paying Agent with respect to such money shall thereupon cease.

SECTION 9.04. Reinstatement.

If the Trustee is unable to apply any money or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 9.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and the Guarantors’ (if any) obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 9.01 until such time as the Trustee is permitted to apply all such money or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 9.01; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of interest on or principal of any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or Government Obligations held by the Trustee.

ARTICLE TEN

AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS

SECTION 10.01. Without Consent of Holders.

The Company and the Guarantors, if any, when authorized by a resolution of their respective Boards of Directors, and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities without notice to or consent of any Securityholder:

(1) cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

(2) provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities;

(4) make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of Securities or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under this Indenture of any such Holder;

(5) conform the text of this Indenture or the Securities to any provision of the section entitled “Description of the Notes” contained in the offering memorandum, dated April 7, 2011, relating to the Securities.

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

(7) to reflect the release of a Guarantor from its obligations with respect to its Guarantee in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.03 and to add a Guarantor pursuant to the requirements of Section 4.18;

(8) evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee; or

(9) provide for the issuance of Additional Securities in accordance with this Indenture;

provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate each stating that such amendment or supplement complies with the provisions of this Section 10.01.

SECTION 10.02. With Consent of Holders.

The Company, the Guarantors, if any, and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not:

(1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of any Security;

(2) alter the optional redemption provisions of any Security or this Indenture in a manner adverse to the Holders of the Securities;

(3) reduce the principal amount of any Security;

(4) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Security;

(5) change the place or currency of payment of principal of or interest on any Security;

(6) modify any provisions of this Indenture relating to the waiver of past defaults (other than to add sections of this Indenture subject thereto) or the right of the Holders to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to any Security or the Guarantees, or the modification and amendment of this Indenture and the Securities (other than to add sections of this Indenture or the Securities which may not be amended, supplemented or waived without the consent of each Holder affected);

(7) reduce the percentage of the principal amount of outstanding Securities necessary for amendment to or waiver of compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities or for waiver of any Default;

(9) modify the ranking or priority of the Securities or the Guarantees, if any, in any manner adverse to the Holders (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that any modification (including deletion) of Section 4.17 (including the definitions relating thereto) or Section 4.15 (including the definitions relating thereto) does not constitute the modification of the ranking or priority of the Securities or the Guarantees);

(10) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Guarantee or this Indenture otherwise than in accordance with this Indenture; or

(11) modify any of the provisions (including the definitions relating thereto) relating to any Offer to Purchase required under Section 4.05 or 4.14 in a manner materially adverse to the Holders of Securities with respect to any Asset Disposition that has been consummated or Change of Control that has occurred.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 10.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

SECTION 10.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

Every amendment to or supplement of this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

SECTION 10.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of that Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. Subject to the following paragraph, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to such Holder’s Security or portion of such Security by written notice to the Trustee or the Company received before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officers’ Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Securities have consented (and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver.

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Securityholder, unless it makes a change described in the second sentence of Section 10.02. In that case the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security.

SECTION 10.05. Notation on or Exchange of Securities.

If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Security shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

SECTION 10.06. Trustee To Sign Amendments, Etc.

The Trustee shall be provided with, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate each stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Ten is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and the Guarantors, enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject to customary exceptions). The Trustee shall execute any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Ten, provided, however, that the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. In signing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it.

ARTICLE ELEVEN

GUARANTEE

SECTION 11.01. Unconditional Guarantee.

Each Guarantor who becomes a party to this Indenture hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally, guarantees to each Holder of a Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns that: the principal of and interest on the Securities will be promptly paid in full when due, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal and interest on any overdue interest on the Securities and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or under the Securities will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; subject, however, to the limitations set forth in Section 11.04. Each such Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Securities with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each such Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that the Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Securities, this Indenture, and this Guarantee. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or any Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or any Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six for the purpose of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and

(y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of this Guarantee. This Guarantee is intended to be superior to or pari passu in right of payment with the guarantee of Indebtedness made by a Guarantor that obligated such Guarantor to enter into its Guarantee, and each Guarantor’s obligations under its Guarantee is independent of any obligation of the Company or any other Guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

SECTION 11.02. Severability.

In case any provision of this Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

SECTION 11.03. Release of a Guarantor.

If (i) the Securities are defeased in accordance with Section 9.01(c), (ii) all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor is sold (including by issuance or otherwise) by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Subsidiary of the Company in a transaction constituting an Asset Disposition, and, if required by this Indenture, (x) the Net Available Proceeds from such Asset Disposition are used in accordance with Section 4.05 or (y) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate covenanting that the Net Available Proceeds from such Asset Disposition will be used in accordance with Section 4.05 and within the time limits specified by such Section 4.05, (iii) the Company properly designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary under this Indenture, or (iv) upon the release or discharge of the guarantee or pledge which resulted in the creation of such Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment by such Guarantor under such guarantee or pledge, then such Guarantor shall be released and discharged from all obligations under this Article Eleven, in the case of clause (ii) above, upon such use in the case of subclause (x) or upon such delivery in the case of subclause (y), and otherwise, in accordance with this Section 11.03. The Trustee shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Company and upon receipt at the reasonable request of the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel that the provisions of this Section 11.03 have been complied with, deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release upon receipt of a request by the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate certifying as to the compliance with this Section. Any Guarantor not so released remains liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Securities and the other obligations of the Company hereunder as provided in this Article Eleven.

SECTION 11.04. Limitation of Guarantor’s Liability.

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance hereof each Holder and the Trustee, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by such Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar U.S. Federal or state or other applicable law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and such Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that

the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to Section 11.05, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

SECTION 11.05. Contribution.

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors, the Guarantors agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under the Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from all other Guarantors in a pro rata amount, based on the net assets of each Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor), determined in accordance with GAAP, subject to Section 11.04, for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging the Company’s obligations with respect to the Securities or any other Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the Guarantee.

SECTION 11.06. Execution of Guarantee.

To further evidence their Guarantee to the Holders, any Guarantor required to Guarantee the Securities pursuant to Section 4.18 shall execute the endorsement of the Guarantee in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, which endorsement shall be delivered to each Holder to be attached to each Security. Each such Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security a notation of such Guarantee. Each such Guarantee shall be signed on behalf of each Guarantor by its Chairman of the Board of Directors, its President or one of its Vice Presidents prior to the authentication of the Security on which it is endorsed, and the delivery of such Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of such Guarantee on behalf of such Guarantor. Such signature upon the Guarantee may be the manual or facsimile signature of such officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Guarantee, and in case such officer who shall have signed the Guarantee shall cease to be such officer before the Security on which such Guarantee is endorsed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Company, such Security 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 11.07. [Reserved].

SECTION 11.08. Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc., on Certain Terms.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.03, a Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless:

(1) immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

(2) either:

(a) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Guarantor) is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia or the jurisdiction of organization of that Guarantor and assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture and its Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee; or

(b) such sale or other disposition or consolidation or merger complies with Section 4.05.

Interest.

AEP Industries Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest at the rate of 8.250% per annum on the principal amount of this Security semiannually commencing on October 15, 2011, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Securities will accrue from and including the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including April 18, 2011, through but excluding the date on which interest is paid. If an Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the interest payment to be made on such Interest Payment Date will be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date, and no additional interest will accrue as a result of such delayed payment.
