InSight Health Services Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation and the direct parent corporation of Acquisition Corp.

The payment of principal of, premium and interest on the Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior subordinated and unsecured basis, jointly and severally by (i) the Parent, (ii) each of the Company's directly and indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries listed in Schedule A hereto and (iii) any wholly owned subsidiary of InSight formed or acquired after the date hereof that executes an additional guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and respective successors and assigns of the Parent and the subsidiaries of the Company referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) above (the subsidiaries referred to in (ii) and (iii) above, the "Subsidiary Guarantors"). The Notes and the Guarantees attached thereto are herein collectively referred to as the "Securities." As described in the draft preliminary offering memorandum prepared by Acquisition Corp., with the assistance of InSight, dated as of September 21, 2001 describing the terms of the Notes, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit I and made a part hereof (the "Draft Offering Memorandum"), the Notes are being sold as part of the financing that will be used to consummate the substantially concurrent acquisition of InSight, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 29, 2001 (as amended, the "Merger Agreement") among InSight, the Parent and Acquisition Corp., pursuant to which Acquisition Corp. will merge with and into InSight (the "Merger"), and InSight will be the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent.

The Merger is subject to the approval of the holders of a majority of the capital stock of the Company. The proceeds from the offering of the Notes, together with (i) borrowings by Acquisition Corp. under the Credit Agreement (as defined herein) that will provide up to $275 million of senior secured credit facilities consisting of (1) a $50 million six-year revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and (2) a seven-year delayed-draw term loan facility and a seven-year term loan B facility in the aggregate amount of $225 million (collectively, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the "Credit Facilities"), (ii) an equity contribution by the Equity Sponsors and the Related Parties of up to $101.5 million less the net value of the Option Rollover (as defined below) (the "Equity Contribution") and (iii) the rollover of options by certain members of InSight's senior management into the Parent (the "Option Rollover"), will be used, among other things, to (x) pay the purchase price for the outstanding shares of common stock, options and warrants of InSight as contemplated under the Merger Agreement (the "Merger Consideration") and (y) repurchase, by tender offer (the "Tender Offer"), the entire outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 9-5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 of InSight (the "Existing Notes") and consummate the solicitation of consents from holders of the Existing Notes to the elimination of certain covenants and certain events of default from the indenture governing the Existing Notes (the "Consent Solicitation") and (z) repay certain other existing indebtedness of InSight and its subsidiaries as described under the caption "Use of Proceeds" in the Draft Offering Memorandum and pay related fees and expenses (the transactions described in this sentence collectively, the "Transaction").

No "reportable event" (as defined under ERISA) has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any "employee benefit plan" established or maintained by InSight, its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates. No "employee benefit plan" established or maintained by InSight, its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates, if such "employee benefit plan" were terminated, would have any "amount of unfunded benefit liabilities" (as defined under ERISA). Neither InSight, its Subsidiaries nor any of their ERISA Affiliates has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any "employee benefit plan" or (ii) Sections 412, 4971, 4975 or 4980B of the Code. Each "employee benefit plan" established or maintained 28 by InSight, its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification.

Redemption Procedures. (a) Notices to Holders. If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of this Agreement, it shall mail to each Holder, at least 30 days (or, if the Notes are then held only by the Purchaser and/or any of its Rule 501(b) Affiliates, 15 days) but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officers' Certificate setting forth (i) the clause of this Agreement pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price. (b) Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. In case the Company is entitled to, and elects to, redeem less than all of the Notes, the Company shall redeem the Notes pro rata from each Holder (or as nearly pro rata as practicable). For all purposes of this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Notes shall relate, in the case of any Notes redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Notes which has been or is to be redeemed. No Notes in amounts of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole 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. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Agreement that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. (c) Notice of Redemption. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at least 30 days (or, if the Notes are then held only by the Purchaser and/or any of its Rule 501(b) Affiliates, 15 days) but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state: 1. the redemption date; 2. the redemption price; 30 3. if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount at maturity 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 of the original Note shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note; 4. the name and address of the Paying Agent (if other than the Company); 5. that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price and become due on the date fixed for redemption; 6. that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest, if any, on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; and 7. the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Agreement pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed. (d) Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with this Agreement, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional. (e) Deposit of Redemption Price. One Business Day prior to the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed. If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Holder in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in this Agreement. (f) Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered. No Notes in denominations of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. (g) Optional Redemption. (i) Except as set forth in clause (ii) of this Section 4(g), the Notes shall not be redeemable at the Company's option prior to October 15, 2006. Thereafter, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes from time to time, upon not less 31 than 30 days' (or, if the Notes are then held only by the Purchaser and/or any of its Rule 501(b) Affiliates, 15 days) nor more than 60 days' notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on October 15 of the years indicated below:

(ii) At any time prior to October 17, 2004, the Company may redeem (i) up to 35% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a redemption price of 112.125% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, or (ii) all, but not less than all, of the Notes at a redemption price equal to $18,000,000, in each case in connection with the initial Public Equity Offering of the Company (or of the Parent, to the extent such proceeds are contributed to the common equity of the Company); provided that the redemption must occur within 60 days of the date of the closing of such initial Public Equity Offering. (h) Mandatory Redemption. Except as set forth in Section 5(j) and 5(o) hereof, the Company is not required to make a mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. (i) Repurchase Offers. In the event that, pursuant to Sections 5(j) and 5(o) hereof, the Company shall be required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase their respective Notes (a "Repurchase Offer"), it shall follow the procedures specified below: (1) The Repurchase Offer shall remain open for a period of not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days following its commencement, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the "Offer Period"). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the "Purchase Date"), the Company shall purchase the principal amount of Notes required to be purchased pursuant to Sections 5(j) and 5(o) hereof (the "Offer Amount") or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered in response to the Repurchase Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made. (2) If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Repurchase Offer. (3) Upon the commencement of a Repurchase Offer, the Company shall send, by first class mail, postage prepaid, a notice to each of the Holders. 32 The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Repurchase Offer. The Repurchase Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Repurchase Offer, shall state: (A) that the Repurchase Offer is being made pursuant to this Section and Section 5(j) or Section 5(o) hereof, and the length of time the Repurchase Offer shall remain open; (B) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date; (C) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrete or accrue interest; (D) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note (or portion thereof) accepted for payment pursuant to the Repurchase Offer shall cease to accrete or accrue interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, after the Purchase Date; (E) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Repurchase Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in integral multiples of $1,000 only; (F) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Repurchase Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Company, a depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date; (G) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the offer period of the Repurchase Offer, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Note purchased; and (H) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer). (4) On the Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes (or portions thereof) tendered pursuant to the Repurchase Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered. The Company or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an 33 amount equal to the purchase price of Notes tendered by such Holder, as the case may be, and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company, shall promptly issue a new Note and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount at maturity equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the respective Holder thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Repurchase Offer on the Purchase Date.

The Company covenants and agrees with the Purchaser as follows: (a) Payment of Notes. (i) The Company shall pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes. Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, holds as of 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due. (ii) The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate equal to 1% per annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful. (b) [Intentionally Omitted]. (c) Reports. Whether or not required by the SEC, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will file with the SEC all such annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents that the Company would be required to file if it were subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) under the Exchange Act. The Company shall also be required (i) to supply to each Holder, without cost to such Holder, copies of such reports and documents within 15 days after the date on which the Company files such reports and documents with the SEC or the date on which the Company would be required to file such reports and documents if the Company were so required and (ii) if filing such reports and documents is not accepted by the SEC or is prohibited under the Exchange Act, to supply at the Company's cost copies of such reports and documents to any prospective Holder promptly upon written request. 34 Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Parent guarantees the Notes, the reports, information and other documents required to be filed and provided as described above may be those of the Parent, rather than of the Company, so long as such filings (i) would satisfy the requirements of the Exchange Act and (ii) disclose the results of operations and financial condition in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section in at least such detail as would be required if the Company were filing such report. (d) Compliance Certificate. The Company and each Guarantor shall deliver to the Holders, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers' Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge, the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. So long as not contrary to the then current recommendations of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the year-end financial statements delivered pursuant to clause 1 of Section 5(c) above shall be accompanied by a written statement of the Company's independent public accountants (which shall be the Independent Accountants or another firm of established national reputation) that in making the examination necessary for certification of such financial statements, nothing has come to their attention that would lead them to believe that the Company has violated any provisions of Section 5 of this Agreement or, if any such violation has occurred, specifying the nature and period of existence thereof, it being understood that such accountants shall not be liable directly or indirectly to any Person for any failure to obtain knowledge of any such violation. The Company shall, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, deliver to the Holders, forthwith upon any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers' Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. (e) Taxes. The Company shall pay, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, any material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes. (f) Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Company and each of the Guarantors covenant (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist 35 upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Agreement. (g) Restricted Payments. (i) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, take any of the following actions: (1) declare or pay any dividend on, or make any distribution to holders of, any shares of the Capital Stock of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, other than (i) dividends or distributions payable solely in Qualified Equity Interests or (ii) dividends or distributions by a Restricted Subsidiary payable to the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary or to all holders of Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary on a pro rata basis; (2) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value, directly or indirectly, any shares of Capital Stock, or any options, warrants or other rights to acquire such shares of Capital Stock, of the Company, any direct or indirect parent of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (other than a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary); (3) make any principal payment on, or repurchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, prior to any scheduled principal payment, sinking fund payment or maturity, any Subordinated Indebtedness; or (4) make any Investment (other than a Permitted Investment) in any Person (such payments or other actions described in (but not excluded from) clauses (1) through (4) being referred to as "Restricted Payments"), unless at the time of, and immediately after giving effect to, the proposed Restricted Payment: (A) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (B) the Company would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in clause (i) of Section 5(i) hereof; and (C) the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments made after the Closing Date does not exceed the sum of: (I) 50% of the aggregate Consolidated Net Income of the Company during the period (taken as one accounting period) from the first day of the Company's first fiscal quarter commencing after the Closing Date to the last day of the Company's most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such proposed Restricted Payment (or, if such aggregate 36 cumulative Consolidated Net Income is a loss, minus 100% of such amount); plus (II) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company after the Closing Date as a capital contribution or from the issuance or sale (other than to a Subsidiary) of either (1) Qualified Equity Interests of the Company or (2) debt securities or Disqualified Stock that have been converted into or exchanged for Qualified Stock of the Company, together with the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company at the time of such conversion or exchange. (ii) The preceding provisions will not prohibit, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur: (1) the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if at the declaration date such payment would not have been prohibited by the foregoing provisions; (2) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any shares of Capital Stock of the Company, in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of a substantially concurrent issuance and sale (other than to a Subsidiary) of, Qualified Equity Interests of the Company or of the Parent, the proceeds of which are contributed to the Company as a capital contribution on a substantially concurrent basis;

provided that the aggregate amount of cash applied by the Company for such purchase, redemption, acquisition, cancellation or other retirement of such shares of Capital Stock of the Company or the Parent after the Closing Date does not exceed $7,500,000 in the aggregate (excluding for purposes of calculating such amount the aggregate amount received by any Person in connection with such purchase, redemption, acquisition, cancellation or other retirement of such shares that is concurrently used to repay loans made to such Person by the Company pursuant to clause (f) of the definition of "Permitted Investment"); (7) the payment of dividends or other distributions or the making of loans or advances to the Parent in amounts required for the Parent to pay franchise taxes and other fees required to maintain its existence and provide for all other customary operating costs of the Parent to the extent attributable to the ownership and operation of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, in respect of director fees and expenses, administrative, legal and accounting services provided by third parties and other customary costs and expenses including all costs and expenses with respect to filings with the SEC;

and (10) other Restricted Payments not to exceed $10,000,000 at any one time outstanding. (iii) The actions described in clauses (5), (6), (7), (8), (9) and (10) of Section 4(g)(ii) will be Restricted Payments that will be permitted to be taken in accordance with this Section 4(g) but will reduce the amount that would otherwise be available for Restricted Payments under clause (i)(4)(C) of this Section 4(g) and the actions described in clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) of the second paragraph of Section 4(g)(ii) will be Restricted Payments that will be permitted to be taken in accordance with this Section 4(g) and will not reduce the amount that would otherwise be available for Restricted Payments under clause (i)(4)(C) of this Section 4(g). (iv) For the purpose of making any calculations under this Agreement (i) if a Restricted Subsidiary is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the Company will be deemed to have made an Investment in an amount equal to the greater of the fair market value or net book value of the net assets of such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such designation as determined by the Board of the Company, and (ii) any property transferred to or from an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be valued at fair market value at the time of such transfer, as determined by the Board of the Company. The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair market value of any non-cash Restricted Payment shall be determined by the Board of the Company whose resolution with respect thereto shall be delivered to the Holders, such determination to be based upon an opinion or appraisal issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing if such fair market value exceeds $10,000,000. Not later than the date of making any Restricted Payment, the Company shall deliver to the Holders an Officers' Certificate stating that such Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth the basis upon which the calculations required under this Section 4(g) were computed, together with a copy of any fairness opinion or appraisal required by this Agreement. (v) If the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments calculated under the foregoing provision includes an Investment in an Unrestricted Subsidiary or other Person that thereafter becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments calculated under the foregoing provision will be reduced by the lesser of (x) the net asset value of such Subsidiary at the time it becomes a Restricted Subsidiary and (y) the initial amount of such Investment. (vi) If an Investment resulted in the making of a Restricted Payment, the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments calculated under the foregoing provision will be reduced by the amount of any net reduction in such Investment (resulting from the payment of interest or dividends, loan repayment, transfer of assets or otherwise, other than the redesignation 39 of an Unrestricted Subsidiary or other Person as a Restricted Subsidiary), to the extent such net reduction is not included in the Company's Consolidated Net Income; provided that the total amount by which the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments may be reduced may not exceed the lesser of (x) the cash proceeds received by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such net reduction and (y) the initial amount of such Investment. (vii) In computing the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for purposes of the foregoing clause (i)(4)(C)(I) of this Section 4(g), (i) the Company may use audited financial statements for the portions of the relevant period for which audited financial statements are available on the date of determination and unaudited financial statements and other current financial data based on the books and records of the Company for the remaining portion of such period and (ii) the Company will be permitted to rely in good faith on the financial statements and other financial data derived from its books and records that are available on the date of determination. If the Company makes a Restricted Payment that, at the time of the making of such Restricted Payment, would in the good faith determination of the Company be permitted under the requirements of this Agreement, such Restricted Payment will be deemed to have been made in compliance with this Agreement notwithstanding any subsequent adjustments made in good faith to the Company's financial statements affecting Consolidated Net Income of the Company for any period. (h) Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. (i) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction of any kind on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to (1) pay dividends, in cash or otherwise, or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock, (2) pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary, (3) make loans or advances to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary or (4) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary. (ii) However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of: (1) any agreement (including the Credit Agreement) in effect on the Closing Date; (2) customary non-assignment provisions of any lease, license or other contract entered into in the ordinary course of business by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; (3) the refinancing or successive refinancing of Indebtedness incurred under the agreements (including the Credit Agreement) in effect on the Closing Date, so long as such encumbrances or restrictions are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in such original agreement; (4) any agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in existence at the time of such acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof), which encumbrance or restriction is 40 not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; (5) purchase money obligations for acquired property permitted under Section 5(i) that impose restrictions of the nature described in clause (4) of Section 5(h)(i) on the property so acquired; (6) any agreement for the sale of a Restricted Subsidiary or an asset that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary or transfers of such asset pending its sale; (7) secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 5(l) hereof that limits the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such Indebtedness; (8) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by leases entered into in the ordinary course of business; (9) Non-Recourse Indebtedness of any Permitted Joint Venture permitted to be incurred under this Agreement; (10) applicable law or regulation; (11) a Receivables Program with respect to a Receivables Subsidiary; and (12) customary provisions in joint venture, limited liability company operating, partnership, shareholder and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business reasonably consistent with past practice by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary. (i) Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock. (i) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, issue, assume, guarantee or in any manner become directly or indirectly liable for the payment of, or otherwise incur (collectively, "incur"), any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness and the issuance of Disqualified Stock), except that the Company and any Subsidiary Guarantors may incur Indebtedness if, at the time of such event, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the immediately preceding four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available, taken as one accounting period, would have been equal to at least 2.0 to 1.0. (ii) In making the foregoing calculation for any four-quarter period that includes the Closing Date, pro forma effect will be given to the Transaction, as if such transactions had occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period. In addition (but without duplication), in making the foregoing calculation, pro forma effect will be given to: (1) the incurrence of such Indebtedness and (if applicable) the application of the net proceeds therefrom, including to refinance other 41 Indebtedness, as if such Indebtedness was incurred and the application of such proceeds occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period; (2) the incurrence, repayment or retirement of any other Indebtedness by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period as if such Indebtedness was incurred, repaid or retired at the beginning of such four-quarter period; and (3) the acquisition (whether by purchase, merger or otherwise) or disposition (whether by sale, merger or otherwise) of any company, entity or business acquired or disposed of by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, since the first day of such four-quarter period, as if such acquisition or disposition occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period. In making a computation under the foregoing clause (1) or (2), (A) the amount of Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility will be computed based on the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during such four-quarter period, (B) if such Indebtedness bears, at the option of the Company, a fixed or floating rate of interest, interest thereon will be computed by applying, at the option of the Company, either the fixed or floating rate, and (C) the amount of any Indebtedness that bears interest at a floating rate will be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if such Hedging Obligations have a remaining term at the date of determination in excess of 12 months). (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, and may permit its Restricted Subsidiaries to, incur the following Indebtedness ("Permitted Indebtedness"): (1) Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Credit Agreement (and the incurrence by any Guarantor of guarantees thereof) in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $375,000,000, less any amounts applied to the permanent reduction of such credit facilities pursuant to the provisions of Section 5(j); (2) Indebtedness represented by the Notes (other than the Additional Notes) and the Guarantees; (3) Existing Indebtedness; (4) the incurrence by the Company of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net cash proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance or replace, any Indebtedness that is permitted to be incurred under clause (2) or (3) above; (5) Indebtedness owed by the Company to any Restricted Subsidiary or owed by any Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (provided that such Indebtedness is held by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary); provided that: 42 (A) any Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor owing to any such Restricted Subsidiary is unsecured and subordinated in right of payment from and after such time as the Notes shall become due and payable (whether at Stated Maturity, acceleration, or otherwise) to the payment and performance of the Company's obligations under the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations under its Guarantee, as the case may be; and (B) (x) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof and (y) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof, shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (5); (6) Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary under Hedging Obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business; (7) Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary consisting of guarantees, indemnities or obligations in respect of purchase price adjustments in connection with the acquisition or disposition of assets, including, without limitation, shares of Capital Stock; (8) either (A) Capitalized Lease Obligations of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or (B) Indebtedness under purchase money mortgages or secured by purchase money security interests so long as (x) such Indebtedness is not secured by any property or assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary other than the property and assets so acquired and (y) such Indebtedness is created within 90 days of the acquisition of the related property; provided that the aggregate amount of Indebtedness under clauses (A) and (B) does not exceed 15% of Consolidated Tangible Assets at any one time outstanding; (9) Guarantees by any Restricted Subsidiary made in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(s); (10) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently (except in the case of daylight overdrafts) drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided that such Indebtedness is extinguished within two business days of incurrence; (11) Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries represented by letters of credit for the account of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in order to provide security for workers' 43 compensation claims, payment obligations in connection with self-insurance or similar requirements in the ordinary course of business; (12) the incurrence of Non-Recourse Indebtedness by Permitted Joint Ventures that are Restricted Subsidiaries; (13) Indebtedness incurred by a Receivables Subsidiary pursuant to a Receivables Program; provided that, after giving effect to any such incurrence of Indebtedness, the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness incurred under this clause (13) and then outstanding does not exceed $30,000,000; and (14) Indebtedness of the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary or any Permitted Joint Venture not permitted by any other clause of this definition, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $30,000,000 at any one time outstanding. (iv) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 5(i), in the event that any proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (1) through (14) of Section 5(i)(iii), or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 5(i)(i), the Company will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this covenant. Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement immediately following the Acquisition shall be deemed to have been incurred on the date of the Acquisition in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of Section 5(i)(iii). (j) Asset Sales. (i) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any Asset Sale unless (x) the consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary for such Asset Sale is not less than the fair market value of the assets sold evidenced by a resolution of the board of directors of such entity set forth in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Holders and (y) the consideration received by the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such Asset Sale consists of at least 75% cash or Cash Equivalents (for purposes of this clause (y), cash and Cash Equivalents includes (A) any liabilities (as reflected in the Company's consolidated balance sheet) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee) that are assumed by any transferee of any such assets or other property in such Asset Sale, and where the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary is released from any further liability in connection therewith with respect to such liabilities, (B) any securities, notes or other similar obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted within 180 days of the consummation of the related Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash and Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the net cash proceeds or the Cash Equivalents (net of related costs) received upon such conversion) and (C) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary in the Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, as determined by the Board of the Company, taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of: 44 (1) $10,000,000; and (2) 15% of Consolidated Tangible Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Noncash Consideration (with the fair market value of each item of such Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value). (ii) If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary engages in an Asset Sale, the Company may, at its option, within 12 months after such Asset Sale, (1) apply all or a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds to the permanent reduction of amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement (and to correspondingly reduce the commitments, if any, with respect thereto) or to the permanent repayment of other Senior Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, provided that the repayment of any Indebtedness incurred under the Credit Agreement in connection with the acquisition of any Facility with the proceeds of any subsequent Sale and Leaseback Transaction relating to such Facility shall not be required to result in the permanent reduction of the amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement or correspondingly permanently reduce the commitments thereunder, or (2) invest (or enter into a legally binding agreement to invest) all or a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in properties and assets to replace the properties and assets that were the subject of the Asset Sale or in properties and assets that will be used in the businesses of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, existing on the Closing Date or in businesses the same, similar or reasonably related thereto. If any such legally binding agreement to invest such Net Cash Proceeds is terminated, the Company may, within 90 days of such termination or within 12 months of such Asset Sale, whichever is later, invest such Net Cash Proceeds as provided in clause (1) or (2) (without regard to the parenthetical contained in such clause (2)) above. Pending the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in a manner that is not prohibited by this Agreement. The amount of such Net Cash Proceeds not so used as set forth above in this paragraph shall constitute "Excess Proceeds." (c) When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10,000,000, the Company will, within 30 days thereafter, make an offer to purchase (an "Excess Proceeds Offer") from all Holders of Notes on a pro rata basis, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement, the maximum principal amount (expressed as a multiple of $1,000) of Notes that may be purchased with the Excess Proceeds, at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, to the date such offer to purchase is consummated. To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered pursuant to such offer to purchase is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use such deficiency for general corporate purposes. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by holders thereof exceeds the Excess Proceeds, the Notes to be purchased will be selected on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of such offer to purchase, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero. (iii) The Company 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 each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Excess Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict 45 with the Asset Sales provisions of this Agreement, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 5(j) of this Agreement by virtue of such conflict. (k) Transactions with Affiliates. (i) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, enter into or suffer to exist any transaction with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company ("Interested Persons"), unless (1) such transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could have been obtained in an arm's-length transaction with third parties who are not Interested Persons and (2) the Company delivers to the Holders (x) with respect to any transaction or series of related transactions entered into after the Closing Date involving aggregate payments in excess of $5,000,000, a resolution of the Company's Board set forth in an officers' certificate certifying that such transaction or transactions complies with clause (1) above and that such transaction or transactions have been approved by the Board (including a majority of the Disinterested Directors) of the Company and (y) with respect to a transaction or series of related transactions involving aggregate payments equal to or greater than $10,000,000, a written opinion as to the fairness to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of such transaction or series of transactions from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm, in each case of national standing. (ii) The foregoing Section 5(k)(i) will not restrict: (1) transactions among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries; (2) the Company from paying reasonable and customary regular compensation, indemnification, reimbursement and fees to officers of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and to directors of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary who are not employees of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; (3) transactions permitted by Section 5(g); (4) advances to employees for moving, entertainment and travel expenses and similar expenditures in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice; (5) any Receivables Program of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; (6) the agreements listed on Schedule E hereto, in each case as in effect as of the Closing Date or any amendment thereto (so long as the amended agreement is not more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes in any material respect than such agreement immediately prior to such amendment) or any transaction contemplated thereby; and (7) sales of Equity Interests to Affiliates. 46 (l) Liens. (i) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien securing Pari Passu Indebtedness or Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company on or with respect to any of its property or assets, including any shares of stock or Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary, whether owned at the Closing Date or thereafter acquired, or any income, profits or proceeds therefrom, or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive income thereon, unless: (1) in the case of any Lien securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the Notes are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Lien; and (2) in the case of any Lien securing Pari Passu Indebtedness, the Notes are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to or ranks equally with such Lien. (ii) The Company shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien securing Pari Passu Indebtedness or Subordinated Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor on or with respect to such Subsidiary Guarantor's properties or assets, including any shares of stock or Indebtedness of any other Restricted Subsidiary, whether owned at the date of this Agreement or thereafter acquired, or any income, profits or proceeds therefrom, or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive income thereon, unless: (1) in the case of any Lien securing Pari Passu Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor, each Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor is secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to or ranks equally with such Lien; and (2) in the case of any Lien securing Subordinated Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor, each Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor is secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Lien. (m) [Intentionally Omitted.] (n) Limitation on Senior Subordinated Debt. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall incur, create, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable for any Indebtedness or guarantee, as applicable, that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Senior Indebtedness and senior in any respect in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor's Guarantee, respectively. (o) Offer to Repurchase upon a Change of Control. (i) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of such Holder's Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the "Change of Control Offer") at an offer price (the "Change of Control Payment") in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (the "Change of Control Payment Date"). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder, describing the transaction or transactions that 47 constitute the Change of Control and stating (1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 5(o) and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment; (2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or such later date as is necessary to comply with the requirements under the Exchange Act (the "Change of Control Payment Date"); (3) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest; (4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date; (5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Notes completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; (6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have the Notes purchased; and (7) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof. The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Agreement relating to such Change of Control Offer, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Agreement by virtue thereof. (ii) By 2:00 p.m. (noon) Eastern Time on the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holders the Notes so accepted together with an Officers' Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder so tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Company shall promptly execute and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5(o), the Company shall 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 Section 5(o) and Section 4(i) hereof and all other provisions of this Agreement applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. 48 (p) Limitation on Issuances and Sales of Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company (i) shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue any Capital Stock unless after giving effect thereto the Company's percentage interest (direct and indirect) in the Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary is at least equal to its percentage interest prior thereto, and (ii) shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, transfer, convey, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary to any Person (other than the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary); provided that this covenant will not prohibit (x) the sale or other disposition of all, but not less than all, of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in compliance with the other provisions of this Agreement, (y) the sale or other disposition of a portion of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Subsidiary Guarantor) whether or not as a result of such sale or disposition such Restricted Subsidiary continues or ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary if (A) at the time of such sale or disposition, the Company could make an Investment in the remaining Capital Stock held by it or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries in an amount equal to the amount of its remaining Investment in such Person pursuant to Section 5(g) of this Agreement and (B) such sale or disposition is permitted under, and the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary applies the Net Cash Proceeds of any such sale in accordance with, the provisions of Section 5(j) of this Agreement, or (z) the ownership by directors of director's qualifying shares or the ownership by foreign nationals of Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent mandated by applicable law. The Company shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue any Preferred Stock other than to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor. (q) Unrestricted Subsidiaries. (i) The Board of the Company may designate any Subsidiary (including any newly acquired or newly formed Subsidiary) to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary so long as (1) such Subsidiary has no Indebtedness other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness, (2) no default with respect to any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary would permit (upon notice, lapse of time or otherwise) any holder of any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to declare a default on such other Indebtedness or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or payable prior to its stated maturity, (3) any Investment in such Subsidiary made as a result of designating such Subsidiary an Unrestricted Subsidiary will not violate the provisions of Section 5(g), (4) neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary has a contract, agreement, arrangement, understanding or obligation of any kind, whether written or oral, with such Subsidiary other than those that might be obtained at the time from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Company, (5) neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary has any obligation to subscribe for additional shares of Capital Stock or other equity interests in such Subsidiary, or to maintain or preserve such Subsidiary's financial condition or to cause such Subsidiary to achieve certain levels of operating results, and (6) such Unrestricted Subsidiary has at least one director on its board of directors that is not a director or executive officer of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and has at least one executive officer that is not a director or executive officer of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not designate any Subsidiary Guarantor (whether or not existing as of the Closing Date) as an Unrestricted Subsidary. (ii) The Board of the Company may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (1) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing following such designation and (2) the Company could, at the time of making such 49 designation and giving such pro forma effect as if such designation had been made at the beginning of the applicable four quarter period, incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in clause (i) of Section 5(i) (treating any Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary as the incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary). (r) Payments for Consent. Neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries will, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid or is paid to all Holders that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. (s) Limitations on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, directly or indirectly, to guarantee, assume or in any other manner become liable for the payment of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Indebtedness of any other Restricted Subsidiary, unless (i) such Restricted Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental agreement providing for a guarantee of payment of the Notes by such Restricted Subsidiary on a senior subordinated basis on the same terms as set forth in this Agreement and (ii) with respect to any guarantee of Subordinated Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary, any such guarantee is subordinated to such Restricted Subsidiary's guarantee with respect to the Notes at least to the same extent as such Subordinated Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes; provided that the foregoing provision will not be applicable to any guarantee by any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary. Any guarantee by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Notes pursuant to the preceding paragraph may provide by its terms that it will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon (i) any sale, exchange or transfer to any Person not an Affiliate of the Company of all of the Company's and the Restricted Subsidiaries' Capital Stock in, or all or substantially all the assets of, such Restricted Subsidiary (which sale, exchange or transfer is not prohibited by this Agreement) or (ii) the release or discharge of the guarantee that resulted in the creation of such guarantee of the Notes, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee. (t) Additional Guarantees. The Company shall provide to the Holders, on the date that any Person (other than a Foreign Subsidiary) becomes a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary, a supplement to this Agreement, executed by such new Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary, providing for a full and unconditional guarantee on a senior subordinated basis by such new Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company's obligations under the Notes and this Agreement to the same extent as that set forth in this Agreement. (u) Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets.

(i) Requirements. If the Company receives, on or prior to the Final Remarketing Date, a written request from BAS or the Purchaser for the exchange of the Notes for Remarketed Notes pursuant to this Section, the Company shall exchange all (but not less than all) of the outstanding Notes (including any Notes to be retained by the Purchaser, BAS or any of their Rule 501(b) Affiliates) for new notes having identical terms (except as provided in the Pricing Notice and clause (ii) below) in an equal aggregate principal amount (the "Remarketed Notes"). Such written request (the "Exchange Notice") shall state the date on which the 56 Remarketed Notes are requested to be issued (the "Exchange Date"), which date shall not be less than three Business Days following the date on which the Exchange Notice is delivered. On the second Business Day following the date on which the Exchange Notice is given (the "Pricing Date"), the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a Purchase Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit H hereto (the "Purchase Agreement"), executed by the Company and each Guarantor in respect of the purchase by the Purchaser of Remarketed Notes in consideration of the exchange of the Notes. On the Pricing Date, BAS shall deliver to the Company a written notice (the "Pricing Notice") which shall state: (x) the interest rate, maturity, no-call period, redemption premium and payment dates of the Remarketed Notes (in each case determined in accordance with the provisions of clause (ii) below) and (y) the principal amount of any Additional Remarketed Notes to be issued pursuant to clause (iv) below. On the Exchange Date the Company shall: (I) enter into an indenture (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, with such changes as may be necessary to provide for the terms of the Remarketed Notes determined pursuant to clause (ii) below)) pursuant to which the Remarketed Notes will be issued and authenticated (the "Exchange Indenture"), which shall have been duly executed by the trustee thereunder (the "Trustee") and to whom irrevocable instructions shall have been given to authenticate the Remarketed Notes necessary for such exchange; (II) execute and deliver to the Holders, and cause the Trustee to authenticate, the Remarketed Notes in an amount equal to (x) the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, plus (y) the principal amount, if any, of Additional Remarketed Notes specified in the notice referred to above; (III) execute and deliver to BAS a Remarketed Notes Registration Rights Agreement among BAS, the Company and the Guarantors in substantially the form of Exhibit E attached hereto; (IV) pay in cash any or all accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes; and (V) pay to BAS in immediately available funds (or by such other means as provided in the Fee Letter) the placement fees provided under the second or third paragraph, as the case may be, of Section 2 of the Fee Letter, in the amount calculated by BAS as provided in the Fee Letter and notified to the Company. (ii) Terms of Remarketed Notes. The interest rate, maturity, no-call period, redemption premium and payment dates of the Remarketed Notes shall be determined as follows: (1) the interest rate of the Remarketed Notes shall be determined by BAS in its sole discretion; provided that such interest rate shall not be greater than 12-1/8% per annum; (2) the maturity of the Remarketed Notes shall be determined by BAS after consultation with the Sponsor Parties based on market conditions existing at the time of the issuance of the Remarketed Notes; provided that in no event shall the maturity of the Remarketed Notes be extended by more than six months beyond the term of the Notes remaining at the time of the exchange of the Notes for Remarketed Notes, and in no event shall the maturity of the Remarketed Notes be more than ten years from the date of their issuance; provided further that BAS will use its commercially reasonable efforts to market and sell Remarketed Notes having a maturity as near as equal to the then remaining term of the Notes as practicable; 57 (3) the no-call period and the date (the "Redemption Premium Expiration Date") on which a redemption premium is no longer payable by the Company upon redemption of the Remarketed Notes shall be determined by BAS after consultation with the Sponsor Parties, based on customary market standards existing at the time of the marketing of the Remarketed Notes; (4) the initial redemption premium with respect to any Remarketed Notes to be redeemed shall be equal to one-half of the interest rate on the Remarketed Notes, which redemption premium shall decline ratably, on each anniversary of the last day of the no-call period, to zero on the Redemption Premium Expiration Date; and (5) the payment dates shall be determined by BAS after consultation with the Sponsor Parties. (6) In addition to the foregoing, Sections 4.07 to 4.20 and Section 5.01 of the Exchange Indenture, and the defined terms used in such Sections, may be changed at the request of BAS with the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. (iii) Procedure for Exchange. (1) On or before the Exchange Date, each Holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing Notes held by such Holder, in the manner and at the place designated in the Exchange Notice. The Company shall cause the Remarketed Notes to be executed and authenticated by the Trustee on the Exchange Date and, upon surrender in accordance with the Exchange Notice of the certificates for any Notes so exchanged (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the notice shall so state), such shares shall be exchanged by the Company into Remarketed Notes. The Company shall pay interest on the Remarketed Notes at the rate and on the dates described in the Exchange Indenture. (2) If the Exchange Notice has been mailed as aforesaid, and if on or before the Exchange Date (A) the Exchange Indenture shall have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and the Trustee and (B) all Remarketed Notes necessary for such exchange shall have been duly executed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee with irrevocable instructions to authenticate the Remarketed Notes necessary for such exchange, then interest will cease to accrue on the Notes on and after the Exchange Date and the rights of the Holders of Notes as to those Notes shall cease on and after the Exchange Date (except the right to receive Remarketed Notes and an amount in cash, to the extent applicable, equal to the accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to the Exchange Date); and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Remarketed Notes issuable upon exchange shall be treated for all purposes as the registered Holder or Holders of such Remarketed Notes as of the Exchange Date. (iv) Additional Remarketed Notes. In the event that, prior to the Exchange Date, the Company has redeemed more than $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes, but less than all of the Notes, pursuant to Section 4(g)(ii) of this Agreement, BAS shall have the option to purchase from the Company, on the Exchange Date, additional Remarketed Notes (the "Additional Remarketed Notes") in a maximum principal amount equal to the Option Amount, at 58 a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Additional Remarketed Notes, payable in immediately available funds on the Exchange Date.

The Remarketed Notes shall be sold at par; provided that, with the consent of the Sponsor Parties, BAS may sell the Remarketed Notes at a price below par. (c) No General Solicitation. The Notes and Remarketed Notes will be offered by approaching prospective subsequent purchasers on an individual basis. No general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Rule 502 under the Securities Act) will be used in the United States in connection with the offering of Notes or the Remarketed Notes.

Upon original issuance by the Company, and until such time as the same is no longer required under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Securities and the Remarketed Notes (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof) shall bear the following legend: THIS NOTE AND THE GUARANTEES ENDORSED HEREON HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes ("Accelerating Holders") may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Company specifying the respective Event of Default. At any time after a declaration of acceleration under this Agreement, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Holders, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company, may rescind such declaration and its consequences if: (i) the Company has paid to the Holders (1) all overdue interest on all Notes, (2) all unpaid principal of (and premium, if any, on) any outstanding Notes that has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by the Notes, and (3) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest and overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes; and (ii) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of amounts of principal of (or premium, if any, on) or interest on the Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived. No such rescission will affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 64 Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, in the event of a declaration of acceleration in respect of the Notes because an Event of Default specified in Section 11(a)(v) shall have occurred and be continuing and provided no judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Holders, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically annulled if the Indebtedness that is the subject of such Event of Default has been discharged or the holders thereof have rescinded their declaration of acceleration in respect of such Indebtedness, and written notice of such discharge or rescission, as the case may be, shall have been given to the Holders by the Company and countersigned by the holders of such Indebtedness or a trustee, fiduciary or agent for such holders, within 30 days after such declaration of acceleration in respect of the Notes, and no other Event of Default has occurred during such 30-day period which has not been cured or waived during such period. (c) Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Accelerating Holders may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Agreement. The Accelerating Holders may maintain a proceeding even if they do not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon and during the continuance of 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 12. Indemnification. (a) Indemnification of the Purchaser and BAS. The Company and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, BAS, their directors, officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser or BAS within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which the Purchaser or BAS or such controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Parent or the Company), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based (i) in whole or in part upon any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of Acquisition Corp., InSight or the Guarantors contained herein; or (ii) in whole or in part upon any failure of Acquisition Corp., InSight or the Guarantors to perform its obligations hereunder or under law; or (iii) any act or failure to act or any alleged act or failure to act by the Purchaser or BAS in connection with, or relating in any manner to, the offering contemplated hereby, and which is included as part of or referred to in any loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising out of or based upon any matter covered by clause (i) above; provided that the Company and the Guarantors shall not be liable under this clause (iii) to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final judgment that such loss, claim, damage, liability or action resulted directly from any such acts or failures to act undertaken or omitted to be taken by the Purchaser or BAS through its gross negligence or willful misconduct; and to reimburse the Purchaser, BAS and each such 65 controlling person for any and all expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Purchaser) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by the Purchaser, BAS or such controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 12 shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Company or the Guarantors may otherwise have. (b) [Intentionally Omitted]. (c) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 12 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 12, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise than under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 12 or to the extent it is not prejudiced as a proximate result of such failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided that, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party's election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 12 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with local counsel), approved by the Purchaser, representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. (d) Settlements. The indemnifying party under this Section 12 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final non-appealable judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, 66 liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 12(c) hereof, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the final terms of such proposed settlement as soon as practicable prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding. Section 13. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 12 is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 12, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in Section 12 with respect to notice of commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 13; provided that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under Section 12 for purposes of indemnification. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 13, each director, officer and employee of the Purchaser and BAS and each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser or BAS within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Purchaser and BAS. Section 14. The Notes. 67 (a) Form and Execution. (i) The Notes shall be in the form of Exhibit F hereto. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of Acquisition Corp. by its President or any of its Vice Presidents under its corporate seal reproduced thereon attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Notes may be manual or facsimile. (ii) Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of Acquisition Corp. shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes. (b) Terms of the Notes. The terms of the Notes shall be as set forth in Exhibit F. Without limiting the foregoing: (i) Stated Maturity. The Stated Maturity of the principal of Notes shall be as provided in Exhibit F. (ii) Interest. The Notes will bear interest as provided in Exhibit F. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. (c) Denominations. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. (d) Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange, Security Register. The Company shall maintain a register (the "Security Register") for the registration or transfer of the Securities. The name and address of the Holder of each Note, records of any transfers of the Securities and the name and address of any transferee of a Note shall be entered in the Security Register and the Company shall, promptly upon receipt thereof, update the Security Register to reflect all information received from a Holder. There shall be no more than one Holder for each Note, including all beneficial interests therein. (e) Registration of Transfer. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at the office or agency of the Company, the Company shall execute and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities, of any authorized denominations and like aggregate principal amount. (f) Exchange. At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes, of any authorized denominations and of like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute and deliver the Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. (g) Effect of Registration of Transfer or Exchange. All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 68 (h) Requirements; Charges. Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed, by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges not involving any transfer. (i) Certain Limitations. If the Notes are to be redeemed in part, the Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any such Notes selected for redemption under Section 4(b) and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. (j) Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Company, the Company shall execute and deliver in exchange therefor a new Note of the same principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. If there shall be delivered to the Company (a) evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (b) such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save each of it and any agent harmless, then, in the absence of notice that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and deliver, in replacement of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of a like principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in their discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note. Upon the issuance of any new Note pursuant to this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section in replacement of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes. (k) Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the Person in 69 whose name such Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue and neither the Company nor any agent of the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary. (l) Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Company, be delivered to the Company and shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company shall cancel any Notes previously issued and delivered hereunder which the Company may have reacquired. (m) Home Office Payment. So long as any Purchaser or its nominee shall be the holder of any Note, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or such Note to the contrary, the Company will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, premium, if any, and interest by such method and at such address as such Purchaser shall have from time to time specified to the Company in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Company made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, such Purchaser shall surrender such Note for cancellation reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Company at its principal executive office. Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by such Purchaser or its nominee such Purchaser will, at its election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which original issue discount has accreted or interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 14(d). The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 14(m) to any direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by such Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as such Purchaser made in this Section 14(m). Section 15. Subordination. (a) Agreement to Subordinate. The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Section 15, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness (whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed), and that the subordination is for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness. (b) Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy. The holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company will be entitled to receive payment in full of all Obligations due in respect of Senior Indebtedness of the Company (including interest after the commencement of any bankruptcy proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Senior Indebtedness of the Company) before the Holders will be entitled to receive any payment with respect to the Notes (except that Holders may receive and retain securities that are subordinated at least to the same extent as the Notes to the Senior Indebtedness and securities issued in exchange for Senior Indebtedness ("Permitted Junior Securities"), in the event of any distribution to creditors of the Company: (i) in a liquidation or dissolution of the Company; (ii) in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its property; (iii) 70 in an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (iv) in any marshaling of the Company's assets and liabilities. (c) Default on Designated Senior Indebtedness. (i) The Company may not make any payment in respect of the Notes (except in Permitted Junior Securities): (1) In the event any default in the payment of principal of, interest or premium, if any, on any Designated Senior Indebtedness shall have occurred and be continuing beyond any applicable period of grace (a "Payment Event of Default"); or (2) If any event of default other than as described in clause (1) above with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness (a "Non-payment Event of Default") shall have occurred and be continuing permitting the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness to declare such Designated Senior Debt due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable and the Holders receive a notice of such default (a "Payment Blockage Notice") from (A) with respect to the Designated Senior Indebtedness arising under the Credit Agreement, the Agent Bank or (B) with respect to any other Designated Senior Indebtedness, the holders or Representatives of any such Designated Senior Indebtedness; (ii) Payments on the Notes may and shall be resumed (1) in the case of a Payment Event of Default, upon the date on which such default is cured or waived and (2) in case of a Non-payment Event of Default, the earlier of the date on which such Non-payment Event of Default is cured or waived or 179 days after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received unless the maturity of any Designated Senior Indebtedness has been accelerated. (iii) No new period of payment blockage may be commenced by a Payment Blockage Notice unless and until (i) 360 days have elapsed since the first day of the effectiveness of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice and (ii) all scheduled payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that have come due have been paid in full in cash. No Non-payment Event of Default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the Trustee shall be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice, unless such default has been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 days. (d) Acceleration of Securities. If payment of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify holders of Senior Indebtedness of the acceleration. (e) When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. In the event that any Holder receives any payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes (except in Permitted Junior Securities) at a time when such payment is prohibited by Section 15 hereof and such Holder has actual knowledge that such payment is prohibited by Section 15 hereof, such payment shall be held by such Holder in trust for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the 71 Company. Upon proper written request of the holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, such Holder shall deliver the amounts in trust to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their proper Representative. (f) Notice by the Company. The Company shall promptly notify the Paying Agent and the Holders in writing of any facts known to the Company that would cause a payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Section 15, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the subordination of the Notes to the Senior Indebtedness as provided in this Section 15. (g) Subrogation. After all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full and until the Notes are paid in full, Holders shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the Company to the same extent as the Notes are subordinated and which is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions applicable to Senior Indebtedness to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holders have been applied to the payment of Senior Indebtedness. A distribution made under this Section 15 to holders of Senior Indebtedness that otherwise would have been made to Holders is not, as between the Company and Holders, a payment by the Company on the Notes. (h) Relative Rights. This Section 15 defines the relative rights of Holders and holders of Senior Indebtedness. Nothing in this Agreement shall: (a) impair, as between the Company and Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with their terms; (b) affect the relative rights of Holders and creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to holders of Senior Indebtedness; or (c) prevent any Holder from exercising its available remedies upon a Default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders and owners of Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to Holders. If the Company fails because of this Section 15 to pay principal of or interest on a Note on the due date, the failure is still a Default or Event of Default. (i) Subordination May Not Be Impaired by the Company. No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or any Holder or by the failure of the Company or any Holder to comply with this Agreement. (j) Distribution or Notice to Representative. Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Indebtedness, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Section 15, the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of 72 competent jurisdiction or upon any certificate of such Representative or of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Holders for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Section 15. (k) Authorization to Effect Subordination. Each Holder of Notes, by the Holder's acceptance thereof, agrees to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Section 15. If the Holders do not file a proper proof of claim or proof of debt in order to have these claims allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Securities), their creditors and their property at least 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim, the lenders under the Credit Agreement are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders of the Notes. Section 16. Guarantees. (a) Guarantee. Subject to this Section 16 each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (i) the principal of and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful (subject in all cases to any applicable grace period provided herein), and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Agreement, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes 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 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 covenant that this Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Agreement. If any Holder is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either 73 the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either of the above to such Holder, the Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 11 hereof for the purposes 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 declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Section 11 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee. (b) Subordination of Guarantee. The Obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee pursuant to this Section 16 shall be junior and subordinated to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor (including Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor incurred after the date hereof) on the same basis as the Notes are junior and subordinated to the prior payment in full all Senior Indebtedness of the Company, as described in Section 15 hereof. For the purposes of the foregoing sentence, the Holders shall have the right to receive and/or retain payments by any of the Guarantors only at such times as they may receive and/or retain payments in respect of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement, including Section 15 hereof. (c) Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Securities, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Section 16, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. (d) Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 16(a), each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Guarantee substantially in the form included in Exhibit G shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note issued by the Company and that this Agreement shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by its President or one of its Vice Presidents. 74 Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 16(a) shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee. If an Officer whose signature is on this Agreement or on the Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Company issues the Note on which a Guarantee is endorsed, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. The delivery of any Note by the Company shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Agreement on behalf of the Guarantors. In the event that the Company creates or acquires any new Subsidiaries subsequent to the date of this Agreement, if required by Section 5(t) hereof, the Company shall cause such Subsidiaries to execute Guarantees in accordance with Section 5(t) hereof and this Section 16, to the extent applicable. (e) Releases of Guarantors. A Guarantor (other than the Parent) will be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all of its obligations under its Guarantee without any further action on the part of any Holder upon a sale or other disposition to a Person not an Affiliate of the Company of all of the Capital Stock of, or all or substantially all of the assets of, such Subsidiary Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, which transaction is carried out in accordance with Section 5(j) of this Agreement; provided that any such termination shall occur (x) only to the extent that all obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under all of its guarantees of, and under all of its pledges of assets or other security interests which secure any Indebtedness of the Company shall also terminate upon such sale, disposition or release and (y) only if the Holders are furnished with written notice of such release together with an Officers' Certificate from such Subsidiary Guarantor to the effect that all of the conditions to release in this Section 16(e) have been satisfied. Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Agreement as provided in this Section 16. 75 Section 17. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Acquisition Corp., InSight, the Guarantors and of their officers and of the Purchaser and BAS set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Purchaser, BAS or Acquisition Corp., InSight or the Guarantors or any of its or their partners, officers or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

(b) Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. Section 2.09 Outstanding Notes. (a) The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.10 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(b) hereof. (b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. (c) If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. (d) If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any of the foregoing) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest. Section 2.10 Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the 38 purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Section 2.11 Temporary Notes. (a) Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. (b) Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture. Section 2.12 Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.

Certification of the disposition of all canceled Notes shall be delivered to the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. Section 2.13 Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date, provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. Section 2.14 CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice 39 of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the "CUSIP" numbers. ARTICLE THREE REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT; SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE Section 3.01 Notices to Trustee.

If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

(b) The actions described in clauses (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix) and (x) of Section 4.07(b) will be Restricted Payments that will be permitted to be taken in accordance with this Section 4.07 but will reduce the amount that would otherwise be available for Restricted Payments under clause (iv)(iii) of Section 4.07(a) hereof and the actions described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of Section 4.07(b) will be Restricted Payments that will be permitted to be taken in accordance with this Section 4.07 and will not reduce the amount that would otherwise be available for Restricted Payments under clause (iv)(iii) of Section 4.07(a) hereof. For the purpose of making any calculations under this Indenture (i) if a Restricted Subsidiary is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the Company will be deemed to have made an Investment in an amount equal to the greater of the fair market value or net book value of the net assets of such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such designation as determined by the 50 Board of the Company, and (ii) any property transferred to or from an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be valued at fair market value at the time of such transfer, as determined by the Board of the Company. The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair market value of any non-cash Restricted Payment shall be determined by the Board of the Company whose resolution with respect thereto shall be delivered to the Trustee, such determination to be based upon an opinion or appraisal issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing if such fair market value exceeds $10 million. Not later than the date of making any Restricted Payment, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that such Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth the basis upon which the calculations required under this Section 4.07 were computed, together with a copy of any fairness opinion or appraisal required by this Indenture. If the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments calculated under the foregoing provision includes an Investment in an Unrestricted Subsidiary or other Person that thereafter becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments calculated under the foregoing provision will be reduced by the lesser of (x) the net asset value of such Subsidiary at the time it becomes a Restricted Subsidiary and (y) the initial amount of such Investment. If an Investment resulted in the making of a Restricted Payment, the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments calculated under the foregoing provision will be reduced by the amount of any net reduction in such Investment (resulting from the payment of interest or dividends, loan repayment, transfer of assets or otherwise, other than the redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary or other Person as a Restricted Subsidiary), to the extent such net reduction is not included in the Company's Consolidated Net Income; provided that the total amount by which the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments may be reduced may not exceed the lesser of (x) the cash proceeds received by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such net reduction and (y) the initial amount of such Investment. In computing the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for purposes of Section 4.07(a)(iii)(A) hereof, (i) the Company may use audited financial statements for the portions of the relevant period for which audited financial statements are available on the date of determination and unaudited financial statements and other current financial data based on the books and records of the Company for the remaining portion of such period and (ii) the Company will be permitted to rely in good faith on the financial statements and other financial data derived from its books and records that are available on the date of determination. If the Company makes a Restricted Payment that, at the time of the making of such Restricted Payment, would in the good faith determination of the Company be permitted under the requirements of this Indenture, such Restricted Payment will be deemed to have been made in compliance with this Indenture notwithstanding any subsequent adjustments made in good faith to the Company's financial statements affecting Consolidated Net Income of the Company for any period. 51 Section 4.08 Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction of any kind on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to (i) pay dividends, in cash or otherwise, or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock, (ii) pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary, (iii) make loans or advances to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary or (iv) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary. (b) However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of: (i) any agreement (including the Credit Agreement) in effect on the Reference Date; (ii) customary non-assignment provisions of any lease, license or other contract entered into in the ordinary course of business by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; (iii) the refinancing or successive refinancing of Indebtedness incurred under the agreements (including the Credit Agreement) in effect on the Reference Date, so long as such encumbrances or restrictions are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in such original agreement; (iv) any agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in existence at the time of such acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; (v) purchase money obligations for acquired property permitted under Section 4.09 hereof that impose restrictions of the nature described in clause (iv) of Section 4.08(a) hereof on the property so acquired; (vi) any agreement for the sale of a Restricted Subsidiary or an asset that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary or transfers of such asset pending its sale; (vii) secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.12 hereof that limits the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such Indebtedness; (viii) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by leases entered into in the ordinary course of business; (ix) Non-Recourse Indebtedness of any Permitted Joint Venture permitted to be incurred under the Indenture; 52 (x) applicable law or regulation; (xi) a Receivables Program with respect to a Receivables Subsidiary; and (xii) customary provisions in joint venture, limited liability company operating, partnership, shareholder and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business reasonably consistent with past practice by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary. Section 4.09 Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock. (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, issue, assume, guarantee or in any manner become directly or indirectly liable for the payment of, or otherwise incur (collectively, "INCUR"), any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness and the issuance of Disqualified Stock), except that the Company and any Subsidiary Guarantors may incur Indebtedness if, at the time of such event, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the immediately preceding four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available, taken as one accounting period, would have been equal to at least 2.0 to 1.0. (b) In making the foregoing calculation for any four-quarter period that includes the Reference Date, pro forma effect will be given to the Transactions, as if such transactions had occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period. In addition (but without duplication), in making the foregoing calculation, pro forma effect will be given to: (i) the incurrence of such Indebtedness and (if applicable) the application of the net proceeds therefrom, including to refinance other Indebtedness, as if such Indebtedness was incurred and the application of such proceeds occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period; (ii) the incurrence, repayment or retirement of any other Indebtedness by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period as if such Indebtedness was incurred, repaid or retired at the beginning of such four-quarter period; and (iii) the acquisition (whether by purchase, merger or otherwise) or disposition (whether by sale, merger or otherwise) of any company, entity or business acquired or disposed of by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, since the first day of such four-quarter period, as if such acquisition or disposition occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period. In making a computation under the foregoing clause (i) or (ii), (A) the amount of Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility will be computed based on the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during such four-quarter period, (B) if such Indebtedness bears, at the option of the Company, a fixed or floating rate of interest, interest thereon will be computed by applying, at the option of the Company, either the fixed or floating rate, and (C) the amount of any Indebtedness that bears interest at a floating rate will be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any 53 Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if such Hedging Obligations have a remaining term at the date of determination in excess of 12 months). (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, and may permit its Restricted Subsidiaries to, incur the following Indebtedness ("PERMITTED INDEBTEDNESS"): (i) Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Credit Agreement (and the incurrence by any Guarantor of guarantees thereof) in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $375 million, less any amounts applied to the permanent reduction of such credit facilities pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.10 hereof; (ii) Indebtedness represented by the Notes (other than the Additional Notes) and the Guarantees; (iii) Existing Indebtedness; (iv) the incurrence by the Company of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net cash proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance or replace, any Indebtedness that is permitted to be incurred under clause (ii) or (iii) above; (v) Indebtedness owed by the Company to any Restricted Subsidiary or owed by any Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (provided that such Indebtedness is held by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary); provided that: (A) any Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor owing to any such Restricted Subsidiary is unsecured and subordinated in right of payment from and after such time as the Notes shall become due and payable (whether at Stated Maturity, acceleration, or otherwise) to the payment and performance of the Company's obligations under the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations under its Guarantee, as the case may be; and (B) (x) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof and (y) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof, shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (v); (vi) Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary under Hedging Obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business; (vii) Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary consisting of guarantees, indemnities or obligations in respect of purchase price adjustments in connection with the acquisition or disposition of assets, including, without limitation, shares of Capital Stock; 54 (viii) either (A) Capitalized Lease Obligations of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or (B) Indebtedness under purchase money mortgages or secured by purchase money security interests so long as (x) such Indebtedness is not secured by any property or assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary other than the property and assets so acquired and (y) such Indebtedness is created within 90 days of the acquisition of the related property; provided that the aggregate amount of Indebtedness under clauses (A) and (B) does not exceed 15% of Consolidated Tangible Assets at any one time outstanding; (ix) Guarantees by any Restricted Subsidiary made in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.19 hereof; (x) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently (except in the case of daylight overdrafts) drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided that such Indebtedness is extinguished within two business days of incurrence; (xi) Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries represented by letters of credit for the account of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in order to provide security for workers' compensation claims, payment obligations in connection with self-insurance or similar requirements in the ordinary course of business; (xii) the incurrence of Non-Recourse Indebtedness by Permitted Joint Ventures that are Restricted Subsidiaries; (xiii) Indebtedness incurred by a Receivables Subsidiary pursuant to a Receivables Program; provided that, after giving effect to any such incurrence of Indebtedness, the aggregate principal amount of all Indebtedness incurred under this clause (xiii) and then outstanding does not exceed $30 million; and (xiv) Indebtedness of the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary or any Permitted Joint Venture not permitted by any other clause of this definition, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $30 million at any one time outstanding. (d) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that any proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (i) through (xiv) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) hereof, the Company will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09. Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement immediately following the Acquisition shall be deemed to have been incurred on the date of the Acquisition in reliance on the exception provided by clause (i) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness. 55 Section 4.10 Asset Sales. (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any Asset Sale unless (i) the consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary for such Asset Sale is not less than the fair market value of the assets sold evidenced by a resolution of the board of directors of such entity set forth in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee and (ii) the consideration received by the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such Asset Sale consists of at least 75% cash or Cash Equivalents (for purposes of this clause (ii), cash and Cash Equivalents includes (1) any liabilities (as reflected in the Company's consolidated balance sheet) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by any transferee of any such assets or other property in such Asset Sale, and where the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary is released from any further liability in connection therewith with respect to such liabilities, (2) any securities, notes or other similar obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted within 180 days of the consummation of the related Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash and Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the net cash proceeds or the Cash Equivalents (net of related costs) received upon such conversion) and (3) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary in the Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, as determined by the Board of the Company, taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of: (A) $10 million; and (B) 15% of Consolidated Tangible Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Noncash Consideration (with the fair market value of each item of such Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value). (b) If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary engages in an Asset Sale, the Company may, at its option, within 12 months after such Asset Sale, (i) apply all or a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds to the permanent reduction of amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement (and to correspondingly reduce the commitments, if any, with respect thereto) or to the permanent repayment of other Senior Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, provided that the repayment of any Indebtedness incurred under the Credit Agreement in connection with the acquisition of any Facility with the proceeds of any subsequent Sale and Leaseback Transaction relating to such Facility shall not be required to result in the permanent reduction of the amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement or correspondingly permanently reduce the commitments thereunder, or (ii) invest (or enter into a legally binding agreement to invest) all or a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in properties and assets to replace the properties and assets that were the subject of the Asset Sale or in properties and assets that will be used in the businesses of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, existing on the Reference Date or in businesses the same, similar or reasonably related thereto. If any such legally binding agreement to invest such Net Cash Proceeds is terminated, the Company may, within 90 days of such termination or within 12 months of such 56 Asset Sale, whichever is later, invest such Net Cash Proceeds as provided in clause (i) or (ii) (without regard to the parenthetical contained in such clause (ii)) above. Pending the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in a manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. The amount of such Net Cash Proceeds not so used as set forth above in this paragraph shall constitute "EXCESS PROCEEDS". (c) When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10 million, the Company will, within 30 days thereafter, make an offer to purchase (an "EXCESS PROCEEDS OFFER") from all Holders of Notes on a pro rata basis, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture, the maximum principal amount (expressed as a multiple of $1,000) of Notes that may be purchased with the Excess Proceeds, at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date such offer to purchase is consummated. To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered pursuant to such offer to purchase is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use such deficiency for general corporate purposes. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by holders thereof exceeds the Excess Proceeds, the Notes to be purchased will be selected on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of such offer to purchase, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero. Section 4.11 Transactions with Affiliates. (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, enter into or suffer to exist any transaction with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company ("Interested Persons"), unless (i) such transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could have been obtained in an arm's-length transaction with third parties who are not Interested Persons and (ii) the Company delivers to the Trustee (x) with respect to any transaction or series of related transactions entered into after the Reference Date involving aggregate payments in excess of $5 million, a resolution of the Company's Board set forth in an officers' certificate certifying that such transaction or transactions complies with clause (i) above and that such transaction or transactions have been approved by the Board (including a majority of the Disinterested Directors) of the Company and (y) with respect to a transaction or series of related transactions involving aggregate payments equal to or greater than $10 million, a written opinion as to the fairness to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of such transaction or series of transactions from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm, in each case of national standing. (b) The foregoing Section 4.11(a) will not restrict: (i) transactions among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries; (ii) the Company from paying reasonable and customary regular compensation, indemnification, reimbursement and fees to officers of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and to directors of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary who are not employees of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; 57 (iii) transactions permitted by Section 4.07; (iv) advances to employees for moving, entertainment and travel expenses and similar expenditures in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice; (v) any Receivables Program of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; (vi) the agreements listed on Schedule II to this Indenture, in each case as in effect as of the Reference Date or any amendment thereto (so long as the amended agreement is not more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes in any material respect than such agreement immediately prior to such amendment) or any transaction contemplated thereby; and (vii) sales of Equity Interests to Affiliates. Section 4.12 Liens. The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien securing Pari Passu Indebtedness or Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company on or with respect to any of its property or assets, including any shares of stock or Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary, whether owned at the Closing Date or thereafter acquired, or any income, profits or proceeds therefrom, or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive income thereon, unless: (i) in the case of any Lien securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the Notes are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Lien; and (ii) in the case of any Lien securing Pari Passu Indebtedness, the Notes are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to or ranks equally with such Lien. (b) The Company will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien securing Pari Passu Indebtedness or Subordinated Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor on or with respect to such Subsidiary Guarantor's properties or assets, including any shares of stock or Indebtedness of any other Restricted Subsidiary, whether owned at the date of this Indenture or thereafter acquired, or any income, profits or proceeds therefrom, or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive income thereon, unless: (i) in the case of any Lien securing Pari Passu Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor, each Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor is secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to or ranks equally with such Lien; and (ii) in the case of any Lien securing Subordinated Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor, each Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor is secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Lien. 58 Section 4.13 Corporate Existence. Subject to Article Five, the Parent and the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises of the Parent, the Company and each Subsidiary; provided that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as a whole and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. Section 4.14 Limitation on Layering Debt. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor will incur, create, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable for any Indebtedness or guarantee, as applicable, that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Senior Indebtedness and senior in any respect in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor's Guarantee, respectively. Section 4.15 Offer to Repurchase upon a Change of Control. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of such Holder's Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the "CHANGE OF CONTROL OFFER") at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages thereon, if any, to the date of purchase (the "CHANGE OF CONTROL PAYMENT"). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall notify the Trustee thereof and mail a notice, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating (1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.15 and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment; (2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or such later date as is necessary to comply with the requirements under the Exchange Act (the "CHANGE OF CONTROL PAYMENT DATE"); (3) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest; (4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date; (5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Notes completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; (6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have the Notes purchased; and (7) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof. The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under 59 the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture relating to such Change of Control Offer, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof. (b) By 2:00 p.m. (noon) Eastern Time on the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers' Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes so tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.15, the Company shall 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 Section 4.15 and Section 3.09 hereof and all other provisions of this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. Section 4.16 Limitation on Issuances and Sales of Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company (a) will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue any Capital Stock unless after giving effect thereto the Company's percentage interest (direct and indirect) in the Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary is at least equal to its percentage interest prior thereto, and (b) will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, transfer, convey, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary to any Person (other than the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary); provided that this covenant will not prohibit (i) the sale or other disposition of all, but not less than all, of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in compliance with the other provisions of this Indenture, (ii) the sale or other disposition of a portion of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Subsidiary Guarantor) whether or not as a result of such sale or disposition such Restricted Subsidiary continues or ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary if (A) at the time of such sale or disposition, the Company could make an Investment in the remaining Capital Stock held by it or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries in an amount equal to the amount of its remaining Investment in such Person pursuant to Section 4.07 hereof and (B) such sale or disposition is permitted under, and the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary applies the Net Cash Proceeds of any such sale in accordance with, Section 4.10 hereof, or (iii) the ownership by directors of director's qualifying shares or the ownership by foreign nationals of Capital Stock of any 60 Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent mandated by applicable law. The Company will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue any Preferred Stock other than to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor. Section 4.17 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. (a) The Board of the Company may designate any Subsidiary (including any newly acquired or newly formed Subsidiary) to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary so long as (i) such Subsidiary has no Indebtedness other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness, (ii) no default with respect to any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary would permit (upon notice, lapse of time or otherwise) any holder of any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to declare a default on such other Indebtedness or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or payable prior to its stated maturity, (iii) any Investment in such Subsidiary made as a result of designating such Subsidiary an Unrestricted Subsidiary will not violate the provisions of Section 4.07 hereof, (iv) neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary has a contract, agreement, arrangement, understanding or obligation of any kind, whether written or oral, with such Subsidiary other than those that might be obtained at the time from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Company, (v) neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary has any obligation to subscribe for additional shares of Capital Stock or other equity interests in such Subsidiary, or to maintain or preserve such Subsidiary's financial condition or to cause such Subsidiary to achieve certain levels of operating results, and (vi) such Unrestricted Subsidiary has at least one director on its board of directors that is not a director or executive officer of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and has at least one executive officer that is not a director or executive officer of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not designate any Subsidiary Guarantor (whether or not existing as of the Closing Date) as an Unrestricted Subsidary. (b) The Board of the Company may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing following such designation and (ii) the Company could, at the time of making such designation and giving such pro forma effect as if such designation had been made at the beginning of the applicable four quarter period, incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a) (treating any Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary as the incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary). Section 4.18 Payments for Consent. Neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries will, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder 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 that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. 61 Section 4.19 Limitations on Issuances of Guarantees of Indebtedness. (a) The Company will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, directly or indirectly, to guarantee, assume or in any other manner become liable for the payment of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Indebtedness of any other Restricted Subsidiary, unless (i) such Restricted Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental indenture providing for a guarantee of payment of the Notes by such Restricted Subsidiary on a senior subordinated basis on the same terms as set forth in this Indenture and (ii) with respect to any guarantee of Subordinated Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary, any such guarantee is subordinated to such Restricted Subsidiary's guarantee with respect to the Notes at least to the same extent as such Subordinated Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes, provided that the foregoing provision will not be applicable to any guarantee by any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary.

Section 4.20 Additional Guarantees. The Company shall provide to the Trustee, on the date that any Person (other than a Foreign Subsidiary) becomes a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary, a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, executed by such new Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary, providing for a full and unconditional guarantee on a senior subordinated basis by such new Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company's obligations under the Notes and this Indenture to the same extent as that set forth in this Indenture.

ARTICLE SIX DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES Section 6.01 Events of Default. "EVENT OF DEFAULT", wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body): (i) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on, or Liquidated Damages with respect to, the Notes (whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions of Article Ten of this Indenture); (ii) default in payment when due of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) the Notes when due (whether or not prohibited by Article Ten of this Indenture); (iii) failure by the Parent or the Company, as applicable, or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with the provisions of Sections 4.07, 4.09, 4.10, 4.15 and 5.01; (iv) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or agreement of the Company or any Guarantor contained in this Indenture or in any Guarantee (other than a default in the performance, or breach, of a covenant or agreement that is specifically dealt with elsewhere herein), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after written notice has been given to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; (v) (x) an event of default has occurred under any mortgage, bond, indenture, loan agreement or other document evidencing an issue of Indebtedness of the Company, the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, which issue individually or in the aggregate has an aggregate outstanding principal amount of not less than $10 million, and such default has resulted in such Indebtedness becoming, whether by declaration or otherwise, due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise become due and payable or (y) 64 a default (a "PAYMENT DEFAULT") in any payment when due at final maturity of any such Indebtedness; (vi) failure by the Company, the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay one or more final judgments the uninsured portion of which exceeds in the aggregate $10 million, which judgment or judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days; (vii) any Guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect or is declared null and void or any such Guarantor denies that it has any further liability under any Guarantee, or gives notice to such effect (other than by reason of the termination of this Indenture or the release of any such Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture); (viii) the entry of a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises adjudging the Company, the Parent or any Significant Subsidiary a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustments or composition of or in respect of the Company, the Parent or any Significant Subsidiary under any Bankruptcy Law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company, the Parent or any Significant Subsidiary or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or (ix) the institution by the Company, the Parent or any Significant Subsidiary of proceedings to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any Bankruptcy Law, or the consent by it to the filing of any such petition or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company, the Parent or any Significant Subsidiary or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due. Section 6.02 Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default (other than as specified in Section 6.01(viii) or (ix) hereof) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders will, declare the principal of, and accrued interest on, all of the outstanding Notes immediately due and payable and, upon any such declaration, such principal and such interest will become due and payable immediately. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of any such acceleration of the Notes pursuant to this Section 6.02(a). If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(viii) or (ix) hereof occurs and is continuing, then the principal of and accrued interest on all of the outstanding Notes will ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 65 (b) At any time after a declaration of acceleration under this Indenture, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind such declaration and its consequences if: (i) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (A) all overdue interest on, and Liquidate Damages with respect to, all Notes, (B) all unpaid principal of (and premium, if any, on) any outstanding Notes that has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by the Notes, (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest and overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes and (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee under this Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and (ii) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of amounts of principal of (or premium, if any, on), interest on or Liquidated Damages with respect to, the Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived. No such rescission will affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. (c) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, in the event of a declaration of acceleration in respect of the Notes because an Event of Default specified in Section 501(e) shall have occurred and be continuing and provided no judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically annulled if the Indebtedness that is the subject of such Event of Default has been discharged or the holders thereof have rescinded their declaration of acceleration in respect of such Indebtedness, and written notice of such discharge or rescission, as the case may be, shall have been given to the Trustee by the Company and countersigned by the holders of such Indebtedness or a trustee, fiduciary or agent for such holders, within 30 days after such declaration of acceleration in respect of the Notes, and no other Event of Default has occurred during such 30-day period which has not been cured or waived during such period. Section 6.03 Other Remedies. (a) 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, and Liquidated Damages, if any, with respect to, the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. (b) The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon and during the continuance of 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 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee, may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of 66 Default in the payment of interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase) (provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration). 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 Notes, respectively. 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 Notes, as permitted by the TIA. 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. Section 6.05 Control by Majority. Holders of a majority in 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. 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 other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability. 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 the payment of principal or interest or Liquidated Damages, if any) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits. (a) A Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture, or the Notes or the Guarantees only if: (i) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; (iii) such Holder of a Note or Holders of Notes offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense that might be incurred by it in connection with the request or direction; (iv) 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 (v) 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. 67 (b) 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. Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, interest on, and Liquidated Damages, if any, with respect to, the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), 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 specified in Section 6.01(i) or (ii) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, interest, and Liquidated Damages, if any, remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent lawful, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, 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 is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other securities or property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 68 Section 6.10 Priorities. (a) If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out the money in the following order: First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection; Second: to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, interest, and Liquidated Damages, if any, respectively; and Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. (b) The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes 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 a 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, 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 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than ten percent in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. ARTICLE SEVEN TRUSTEE Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of 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 its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 7.01. (e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture at the request of any Holders, unless such Holder shall have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, costs, liability or expense that might be incurred by it in connection with the request or direction. (f) Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. Section 7.02 Certain Rights of Trustee.

Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may become a creditor of, or otherwise deal with, the Company or any of its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest as described in the Trust Indenture Act, it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof. Section 7.04 Trustee's Disclaimer.

Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes. 71 Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes.

The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable and customary fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees, respectively, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Company's obligations with respect to such Notes under Article Two and Section 4.02 hereof, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company's obligations in connection therewith and (d) this Article 8.

Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.19, 4.20 and 5.01 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, "COVENANT DEFEASANCE"), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not "outstanding" for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed "outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, S ections 6.01(iii) through (vii) shall not constitute Events of Default.

(a) Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the "TRUSTEE") pursuant to 76 Section 8.04 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 (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium and Liquidated Damages, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. (b) The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 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. (c) Anything in this Article Eight to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(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 8.06 Repayment to the Company. Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof, 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, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Company. Section 8.07 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company's obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if 77 any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company 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 NINE AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders of Notes. (a) Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company, the Guarantors, and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes without the consent of any Holder of a Note: (i) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company in this Indenture and in the Notes; or (ii) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders, or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company; or (iii) to add additional Events of Defaults; or (iv) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; or (v) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under this Indenture by a successor Trustee; or (vi) to secure the Notes; or (vii) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision in this Indenture that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision in this Indenture, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Indenture, provided that such actions pursuant to this clause do not adversely affect the interests of the Holders in any material respect; or (viii) to comply with any requirements of the SEC in order to effect and maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; or (ix) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture as of its date; or (x) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental Indenture and a Guarantee with respect to the Notes; or (xi) to provide for the issuance of the Exchange Notes pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 78 Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Trustee may amend any provisions of the Indenture or the Notes concerning (i) the subordination of the Notes and the Guarantees or (ii) legal defeasance or covenant defeasance without, in either case, the prior written consent of the Agent Bank, acting on behalf of the Banks under the Credit Agreement. (b) Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of any amended or supplemental Indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes. (a) Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 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 Additional Notes, if any) (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes). (b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any indenture supplemental hereto. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or its duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that unless such consent shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such consent previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect. (c) Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence reasonably 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 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental Indenture unless such amended or supplemental Indenture directly 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. 79 (d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. (e) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company 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. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture, or the Notes. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): (i) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any Note, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or change the coin or currency in which any Note or any premium or the interest or any Liquidated Damages thereon are payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the redemption date); (ii) amend, change or modify the obligation of the Company to make and consummate an Excess Proceeds Offer with respect to any Asset Sale in accordance with the covenant described under Section 4.10 or the obligation of the Company to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of Control in accordance with Section 4.15, including, in each case, amending, changing or modifying any definition relating thereto; (iii) reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding Notes, the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of, or certain defaults and their consequences provided for under, this Indenture; (iv) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes or reduce the percentage or aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes the consent of whose Holders is necessary for waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or for waiver of certain Defaults or Events of Default; (v) modify the ranking or priority of the Notes or the Guarantee of any Guarantor; or (vi) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Guarantee or this Indenture other than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. (vii) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions. 80 Section 9.03 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 9.04 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 thereafter binds every Holder. Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. (a) The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. (b) Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc. The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture or Note authorized pursuant to this Article Nine if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amendment or supplemental Indenture or Note until its Board approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture or Note, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. ARTICLE TEN SUBORDINATION Section 10.01 Agreement to Subordinate. The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article Ten, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness (whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed), and that the subordination is for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness. 81 Section 10.02 Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy. The holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company will be entitled to receive payment in full of all Obligations due in respect of Senior Indebtedness of the Company (including interest after the commencement of any bankruptcy proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Senior Indebtedness of the Company) before the Holders will be entitled to receive any payment with respect to the Notes (except that Holders may receive and retain securities that are subordinated at least to the same extent as the Notes to Senior Indebtedness and any securities issued in exchange for Senior Indebtedness ("PERMITTED JUNIOR SECURITIES") and payments made from the trust pursuant to Article Eight hereunder), in the event of any distribution to creditors of the Company: (i) in a liquidation or dissolution of the Company; (ii) in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its property; (iii) in an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (iv) in any marshaling of the Company's assets and liabilities. Section 10.03 Default on Designated Senior Indebtedness. (a) The Company may not make any payment in respect of the Notes (except in Permitted Junior Securities or from the trust pursuant to Article Eight hereof): (i) in the event any default in the payment of principal of, interest or premium, if any, on Designated Senior Indebtedness occurs and is continuing beyond any applicable period of grace (a "PAYMENT EVENT OF DEFAULT"), or (ii) any Non-payment Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to Designated Senior Indebtedness which permits holders of the Designated Senior Indebtedness as to which such default relates to accelerate its maturity and the Trustee receives a notice of such default (a "PAYMENT BLOCKAGE NOTICE") from (A) with respect to the Designated Senior Indebtedness arising under the Credit Agreement, the Agent Bank, or (B) with respect to any other Designated Senior Indebtedness, the holders or the representative of the holders of any such Designated Senior Indebtedness. (iii) Payments on the Notes may and shall be resumed (x) in the case of a Payment Event of Default, upon the date on which such default is cured or waived and (y) in case of a Non-payment Event of Default, the earlier of the date on which such Non-payment Event of Default is cured or waived or 179 days after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received unless the maturity of any Designated Senior Indebtedness has been accelerated. No new period of payment blockage may be commenced by a Payment Blockage Notice unless and until (i) 360 days have elapsed since the first day of the effectiveness of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice and (ii) all scheduled payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that have come due have been paid in full in cash. No Non-payment Event of Default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the Trustee shall be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice, unless such default has been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 days. 82 Section 10.04 Acceleration of Securities. If payment of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify holders of Senior Indebtedness of the acceleration. Section 10.05 When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. (a) In the event that the Trustee or any Holder receives any payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes (except in Permitted Junior Securities or from the trust pursuant to Article Eight hereof) at a time when such payment is prohibited by Article Ten hereof and the Trustee or such Holder, as applicable, has actual knowledge that such payment is prohibited by Article Ten hereof, such payment shall be held by the Trustee or such Holder, as applicable, in trust for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company. Upon proper written request of the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, the Trustee or such Holder, as the case may be, shall deliver the amounts in trust to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their proper Representative under the indenture or other agreement (if any) pursuant to which Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of all Obligations with respect to Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such Obligations in full in accordance with their terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Indebtedness. (b) With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform only such obligations on the part of the Trustee as are specifically set forth in this Article Ten, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and shall not be liable to any such holders if the Trustee shall pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders or the Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article Ten, except if such payment is made as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee. Section 10.06 Notice by the Company. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing of any facts known to the Company that would cause a payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Article Ten, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the subordination of the Notes to the Senior Indebtedness as provided in this Article Ten. Section 10.07 Subrogation. After all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full and until the Notes are paid in full, Holders shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with the holders of all Indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the Company to the same extent as the Notes are subordinated and which is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions applicable to Senior Indebtedness to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holders have been applied to the payment of Senior Indebtedness. A distribution made under this Article Ten to holders of 83 Senior Indebtedness that otherwise would have been made to Holders is not, as between the Company and Holders, a payment by the Company on the Notes. Section 10.08 Relative Rights. (a) This Article Ten defines the relative rights of Holders and holders of Senior Indebtedness. Nothing in this Indenture shall: (i) impair, as between the Company and Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with their terms; (ii) affect the relative rights of Holders of Notes and creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to holders of Senior Indebtedness; or (iii) prevent the Trustee or any Holder of Notes from exercising its available remedies upon a Default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders and owners of Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to Holders. (b) If the Company fails because of this Article Ten to pay principal of or interest on a Note on the due date, the failure is still a Default or Event of Default. Section 10.09 Subordination May Not Be Impaired by the Company. No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or any Holder or by the failure of the Company or any Holder to comply with this Indenture. Section 10.10 Distribution or Notice to Representative. (a) Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Indebtedness, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative. (b) Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article Ten, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction or upon any certificate of such Representative or of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders of Notes for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article Ten. Section 10.11 Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article Ten or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts 84 that would prohibit the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee, and the Trustee and the Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes, unless the Trustee shall have received at its Corporate Trust Office at least five Business Days prior to the date of such payment written notice of facts that would cause the payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Article Ten. Only the Company or a Representative may give the notice. Nothing in this Article Ten shall impair the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof. (b) The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Indebtedness with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. Section 10.12 Authorization to Effect Subordination. Each Holder, by the Holder's acceptance thereof, agrees and directs the Trustee on such Holder's behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article Ten, and appoints the Trustee to act as such Holder's attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to in Section 6.09 hereof at least 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim, the lenders under the Credit Agreement are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders of the Notes. ARTICLE ELEVEN GUARANTEES Section 11.01 Guarantee. (a) Subject to this Article Eleven each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (i) the principal of, premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful (subject in all cases to any applicable grace period provided herein), and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. 85 (b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes 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. Subject to Section 6.06 hereof, each 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 covenant that this Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. (c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. (d) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, 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 hereof for the purposes 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 declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee. Section 11.02 Subordination of Guarantee. The Obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee pursuant to this Article Eleven shall be junior and subordinated to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor (including Senior Indebtedness of the Guarantor incurred after the date hereof) on the same basis as the Notes are junior and subordinated to the prior payment in full all Senior Indebtedness of the Company, as described in Article Ten hereof. For the purposes of the foregoing sentence, the Trustee and the Holders shall have the right to receive and/or retain payments by any of the Guarantors only at such times as they may receive and/or retain payments in respect of the Notes pursuant to this Indenture, including Article Ten hereof. Section 11.03 Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

Pending the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in a manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. The amount of such Net Cash Proceeds not so used as set forth above in this paragraph shall constitute "Excess Proceeds". When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10 million, the Company will, within 30 days thereafter, make an offer to purchase (an "Excess Proceeds Offer") from all Holders of Notes on a pro rata basis, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture, the maximum principal amount (expressed as a multiple of $1,000) of Notes that may be purchased with the Excess Proceeds, at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date such offer to purchase is consummated. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by holders thereof exceeds the Excess Proceeds, the Notes to be purchased will be selected on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of such offer to purchase, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero. 8. Selection and Notice of Redemption If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed or purchased among the Holders of the Notes in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or in accordance with any other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. Notices of redemption may not be conditional. If any Note is to be A1-7 redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, cease to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption. 9. 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 Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company is not required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption. Also, the Company is not required to transfer or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed. 10. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note will be treated as its owner for all purposes. 11. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or 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 Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the 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 of the then outstanding Notes and Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes). Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture or 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 evidence the succession of another Person to the Company and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company; to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company; to add additional Events of Default; to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture by a successor Trustee; to secure the Notes; to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture as of its date; or to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental Indenture and a Guarantee with respect to the Notes. 12. Defaults and Remedies. In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to the Parent, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other 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 by notice in writing to the Company specifying the respective Event of Default. The Trustee may withhold from Holders A1-8 of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or Liquidated Damages, if any) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes. 13. Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee. 14. No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Parent, the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Parent, the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws. 15. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent. 16. Additional Rights of Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes. In addition to the rights provided to Holders under the Indenture, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of [___], 200[_], between the Company, the Parent, the Guarantors and the parties named on the signature pages thereof or, in the case of Additional Notes, Holders of Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes shall have the rights set forth in one or more registration rights agreements, if any, between the Company, the Parent, the Guarantors and the other parties thereto, relating to rights given by the Company and the Guarantors to the purchasers of Additional Notes (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). 17.

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

(e) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors, or any Custodian, Trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. (f) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. (g) As between the Guarantors, 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 of the Indenture for the purposes 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 declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee.

Subordination. The Obligations of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary under its Guarantee pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture shall be junior and subordinated to the Senior Indebtedness of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary on the same basis as the Notes are junior and subordinated to the Senior Indebtedness of the Company. For the purposes of the foregoing sentence, the Trustee and the Holders shall have the right to receive and/or retain payments by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary only at such time as they may receive and/or retain payments in respect of the Notes pursuant to the Indenture, including Article Ten thereof. 4. Execution and Delivery. Each Guaranteeing Subsidiary agrees that the Guarantees shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee. 5. Guaranteeing Subsidiary May Consolidate, Etc., on Certain Terms. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.05 of the Indenture, a Subsidiary Guarantor may not consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person or convey, sell, assign, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any other Person (other than the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor) unless: (i) subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, the Person formed by or surviving such consolidation or merger (if other than such Subsidiary Guarantor) or to which such properties and assets are transferred assumes all of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture and its Guarantee, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee; (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (iii) the Subsidiary Guarantor delivers, or causes to be delivered, to the Trustee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such transaction complies with the requirements of this Indenture.

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and reasonably satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed by a Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for a Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All the Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as the Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture as though all of such Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. 6. Releases. (a) A Subsidiary Guarantor will be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all of its obligations under its Guarantee without any further action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes upon a sale or other disposition to a Person not an Affiliate of the Company of all of the Capital Stock of, or all or substantially all of the assets of, such Subsidiary Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, which transaction is carried out in accordance with Section 4.10 hereof; provided that any such termination shall occur (x) only to the extent that all obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under all of its guarantees of, and under all of its pledges of assets or other security interests which secure any Indebtedness of the Company shall also terminate upon such sale, disposition or release and (y) only if the Trustee is furnished with written notice of such release together with an Officers' Certificate from such Subsidiary Guarantor to the effect that all of the conditions to release in this Section 6 have been satisfied. (b) Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in Article Eleven of the Indenture. 7. No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Parent, the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Parent, the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Notes, this Indenture, the Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws. 8. NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY. 9.

(i) Each of the Parent and Acquisition Corp. has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. (ii) Each of the Parent and Acquisition Corp. has the corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement and the Securities. (iii) All of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each of the Parent and Acquisition Corp. has been duly authorized and validly issued, is fully paid and non-assessable. All the outstanding shares of capital stock of Acquisition Corp. are owned of record by the Parent and, immediately following the Merger as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of InSight will be owned of record by the Parent. (iv) The issuance and sale of the Notes by Acquisition Corp. will not be subject to any preemptive right arising by operation of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of Acquisition Corp. or the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or under any agreement listed on Schedule I to this opinion. (v) The Note Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Parent and Acquisition Corp., and is a valid and binding agreement of the Parent and Acquisition Corp., enforceable in accordance with its terms, except with respect to any indemnification or contribution provision thereof and subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights and remedies and general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered at a proceeding at law or in equity). (vi) The Notes are in the form contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement, have been duly authorized by Acquisition Corp. for issuance and sale pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement and, when executed by Acquisition Corp. in the manner provided in the Note Purchase Agreement and delivered against payment of the purchase price therefor, will constitute valid and binding obligations of Acquisition Corp., enforceable against Acquisition Corp. in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights and remedies and general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered at a proceeding at law or in equity). (vii) The Guarantee by the Parent of the Notes is in the form contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement, has been duly authorized for issuance and sale pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement and, at the Closing Date, will have been duly executed by the Parent and, when the Notes have been authenticated in the manner provided for in the Note Purchase Agreement and delivered against payment of the purchase price therefor, will constitute the valid and binding agreement of the Parent, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights and remedies and general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered at a proceeding at law or in equity), and will be entitled to the benefits of the Note Purchase Agreement. (viii) No consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or registration or filing with, any court or other governmental or regulatory authority or agency of the federal government of the United States or the State of New York, is required for the execution, delivery and performance at the Closing by the Parent or Acquisition Corp. of the Note Purchase Agreement or the Securities, as applicable, or the issuance and delivery by Acquisition Corp. of the Securities, or consummation at the Closing of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, except as may be required under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Trust Indenture Act or applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws. (ix) The execution and delivery of the Note Purchase Agreement and the Securities by the Parent and Acquisition Corp., the performance by the Parent and Acquisition Corp. of their respective obligations thereunder (i) will not result in any violation of the provisions of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Parent or Acquisition Corp., as applicable, (ii) will not constitute a breach of, or Default, or result in the imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Parent or Acquisition Corp., as applicable, pursuant to any material contract, loan agreement, note indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease or other agreement or instrument to which the Parent or Acquisition Corp., as applicable, is a party; or (iii) to the best knowledge of such counsel, will not result in any violation of any law or administrative regulation, which a lawyer exercising customary professional diligence would reasonably recognize as being applicable to the Parent and Acquisition Corp. with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement. (x) Acquisition Corp. is not, and after receipt of payment for the Securities will not be, an "investment company" requiring it to register under the Investment Company Act. Immediately following the assumption of the Notes in connection with the Merger and the application of the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities as contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement, InSight will not be an "investment company" requiring it to register under the Investment Company Act. (xi) Assuming the accuracy of the representations, warranties and covenants of InSight and the Purchaser contained in the Note Purchase Agreement, no registration of the Notes or the Guarantees under the Securities Act is required in connection with the purchase of the Securities by the Purchaser in the manner contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement. (xii) To best of our knowledge, there are no pending or threatened legal or governmental proceedings to which the Parent or Acquisition Corp. is a party that would be required to be described by Item 103 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act if the Parent or Acquisition Corp. were registering the Notes under the Securities Act. (xiii) None of the sale, issuance, execution or delivery of the Notes, the assumption by operation of law of the obligations of Acquisition under the Notes in connection with the Merger or the application of the proceeds therefrom in the manner contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement, will contravene Regulation T (12 C.F.R. Part 220), Regulation U (12 C.F.R. Part 221) or Regulation X (12 C.F.R. Part 224) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. (xiv) The Merger Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Acquisition Corp. and the Parent and approved and adopted by the Parent as the sole stockholder of Acquisition Corp. and (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by InSight) is enforceable against each in accordance with its terms, except with respect to any indemnification or contribution provision thereof and subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights and remedies and general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered at a proceeding at law or in equity, and further assuming that the Merger Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York). All of the obligations of Acquisition Corp. under the Note Purchase Agreement will become obligations of InSight by operation of law upon consummation of the Merger pursuant to Section 259(a) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. EXHIBIT C-1 [FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL TO INSIGHT] The form of opinion of Hunton & Williams, counsel for InSight, to be delivered pursuant to Section 5 of the Note Purchase Agreement shall be as follows. (i) InSight is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and, based solely on a Certificate of Good Standing issued by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on October [__], 2001, in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. (ii) InSight has corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Draft Offering Memorandum and to enter into and perform its obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement. (iii) Based solely on certificates of public officials and officers of InSight (which certificates shall be attached as exhibits to such opinion), and the documents attached to such certificates (including the organizational documents of InSight), InSight is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify or to be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change. (iv) Based solely on certificates of public officials and officers of InSight (which certificates shall be attached as exhibits to such opinion), and the documents attached to such certificates (including the organizational documents of the Subsidiary Guarantors), each Subsidiary Guarantor is in valid existence and in good standing under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of incorporation or formation as set forth on Schedule I hereto. Based solely on certificates of public officials and officers of InSight (which certificates shall be attached as exhibits to such opinion), and the documents attached to such certificates (including the organizational documents of the Subsidiary Guarantors), and assuming the laws of the State of Texas and the State of Indiana are comparable to the laws of Delaware or North Carolina, each Subsidiary Guarantor (a) has corporate or entity power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Draft Offering Memorandum and (b) to the best of our knowledge, is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or limited partnership, as the case may be, to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify or to be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change. (v) All of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each Subsidiary Guarantor, if a corporation, has been duly authorized and, to our knowledge, has been validly issued and is fully paid and non-assessable and is owned by InSight, directly or through subsidiaries, free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or any pending or threatened claim. (vi) The Note Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by InSight and each Subsidiary Guarantor, and is a valid and binding agreement of InSight and each Subsidiary Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms. (vii) The Guarantees by the Subsidiary Guarantors of the Notes are in the respective forms contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement, have been duly authorized for issuance and sale pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement and the Indenture and, on the Closing Date, will have been duly executed by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors and, immediately following the consummation of the Merger, will constitute valid and binding agreements of the Subsidiary Guarantors, enforceable in accordance with their terms. (viii) To our knowledge, there are no pending or threatened legal or governmental proceedings to which InSight or any of its subsidiaries is a party that would be required to be described by Item 103 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act if InSight was registering the Notes under the Securities Act. (ix) Immediately prior to the assumption of the Notes in connection with the Merger and the application of the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities as contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement, InSight is not an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act. The enforceability of the Note Purchase Agreement and the Guarantees by the Subsidiary Guarantors of the Notes is limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) general principles of equity, whether considered at law or in equity. Any rights to indemnity or contribution under the Note Purchase Agreement and the Guarantees by the Subsidiary Guarantors of the Notes may be limited by federal and state securities laws and public policy considerations. In addition, we express no opinion regarding (i) the submission to jurisdiction to the extent it relates to the subject matter jurisdiction of any court, (ii) the enforceability of any waiver of a trial by jury or waiver of objection to venue or claim of an inconvenient forum with respect to proceedings, (iii) the waiver of any right to have service of process made in the manner presented by applicable law, (iv) the appointment of any Person as attorney in fact insofar as exercise of such power of attorney may be limited by public policy or limitations referred to elsewhere in this opinion, (v) the enforceability of indemnification or contribution provided for in the Agreements for claims, losses or liabilities in an unreasonable amount or for claims, losses or liabilities attributable to the indemnified party's negligence, (vi) the ability of any Person to receive the remedies of specific performance, injunctive relief, liquidated damages or any similar remedy in any proceeding, (vii) any right to the appointment of a receiver, (viii) any right to obtain possession of any property or the exercise of self-help remedies or other remedies without judicial process, (ix) any waiver or limitation concerning mitigation of damages, (x) the availability of the right of rescission, (xi) any law or regulation relating to federal, state or local taxation, federal or state environmental regulation, local laws, labor laws, intellectual property laws, antitrust laws or those relating to zoning, land use or subdivision laws, ERISA and similar matters, (xii) the effect of the law of any jurisdiction (other than the State of New York) that limits the rate(s) of interest that may be charged or collected, (xiii) the enforceability of any right to receive interest on interest, or (xiv) any fraudulent transfer and fraudulent conveyance laws. EXHIBIT D [FORM OF OPINION OF GENERAL COUNSEL FOR INSIGHT] The form of opinion of Marilyn U. MacNiven-Young, general counsel for InSight to be delivered pursuant to Section 5 of the Note Purchase Agreement shall be as follows. (i) To such counsel's knowledge, InSight and each Subsidiary Guarantor has such permits, licenses, franchises, certifications, accreditations and authorizations (collectively, "Authorizations") from all regulatory or governmental officials, bodies or tribunals as are necessary to own, lease and operate its respective properties and to conduct its business in the manner described in the Draft Offering Memorandum and is eligible to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs as and to the extent described in the Draft Offering Memorandum and, to such counsel's knowledge, InSight and each Subsidiary Guarantor has fulfilled and performed all of its material obligations with respect to such Authorizations or eligibility and no event has occurred which allows, or after notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation or termination thereof except where such revocation or termination would not result in a Material Adverse Change. (ii) The execution and delivery of the Note Purchase Agreement by InSight and the Subsidiary Guarantors and the performance by InSight and the Subsidiary Guarantors of their respective obligations thereunder (i) will not result in any violation of the provisions of the limited partnership agreement, charter or by-laws of InSight or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, or (ii) will not constitute a breach of, or Default under or result in the imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of InSight or any Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to (x) any contract, loan agreement, note indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease or other agreement or instrument filed by InSight with the SEC, or (y) to such counsel's knowledge, any statute, rule or regulation or any judgment, order or decree of any governmental authority or court or arbitrator applicable to InSight or any Subsidiary Guarantor.

Section 2. Holders. A Person is deemed to be a holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (each, a "HOLDER") whenever such Person owns Transfer Restricted Securities. Section 3. Registered Exchange Offer. (a) Unless the Exchange Offer shall not be permitted by applicable federal law (after the procedures set forth in Section 6(a)(i) below have been complied with), the Company and the Guarantors shall (i) cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be filed with the Commission as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but in no event later than 120 days after the Closing Date (such 120th day being the "FILING DEADLINE"), (ii) use its best efforts to cause such Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective at the earliest possible time, but in no event later than 180 days after the Closing Date (such 180th day being the "EFFECTIVENESS DEADLINE") and (iii) in connection with the foregoing, (A) file all pre-effective amendments to such Exchange Offer Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to cause it to become effective, (B) file, if applicable, a post-effective amendment to such Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430A under the Act and (C) cause all necessary filings, if any, in connection with the registration and qualification of the Exchange Notes to be made under the Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as are necessary to permit Consummation of the Exchange Offer, and (iv) upon the effectiveness of such Exchange Offer Registration Statement, commence and Consummate the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall be on the appropriate form permitting (i) registration of the Exchange Notes to be offered in exchange for the Notes that are Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) resales of Exchange Notes by any Broker-Dealer that tendered Notes into the Exchange Offer that such Broker-Dealer acquired for its own account as a result of market making activities or other trading activities (other than Notes acquired directly from the Company or any of their respective Affiliates) as contemplated by Section 3(c) below. (b) The Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be effective continuously, and shall keep the Exchange Offer open for a period of not less than the minimum period required under applicable federal and state securities laws to Consummate the Exchange Offer; provided, however, that in no event shall such period be less than 30 days. The Company and the Guarantors shall cause the Exchange Offer to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws. No securities other than the Exchange Notes shall be included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. The Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective 4 reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer to be Consummated on the earliest practicable date after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has become effective, but in no event later than 45 days thereafter, and in no event shall such Exchange Offer be Consummated later than 210 days after the Closing Date (such 210th day being the "CONSUMMATION DEADLINE"). (c) The Company shall include a "Plan of Distribution" section in the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and indicate therein that any Broker-Dealer who holds Transfer Restricted Securities that were acquired for the account of such Broker-Dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Notes acquired directly from the Company or any of their respective Affiliates), may exchange such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer. Such "Plan of Distribution" section shall also contain all other information with respect to such sales by such Broker-Dealers that the Commission may require in order to permit such sales pursuant thereto, but such "Plan of Distribution" shall not name any such Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by any such Broker-Dealer, except to the extent required by the Commission as a result of a change in policy, rules or regulations after the date of this Agreement. See the Shearman & Sterling no-action letter (available July 2, 1993). Because any such Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Act in connection with its initial sale of any Exchange Notes received by such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, the Company and the Guarantors shall permit the use of the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement by such Broker-Dealer to satisfy such prospectus delivery requirement through the Consummation Deadline and thereafter as provided in the remainder of this paragraph. To the extent necessary to ensure that the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is available for sales of Exchange Notes by any Broker-Dealer that acquired Exchange Notes as a result of market-making or similar activities such that the Broker-Dealer would be required to deliver a prospectus under the Act upon a subsequent sale or other disposition of the Exchange Notes, then the Company and the Guarantors agree to use their respective reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented, amended and current as required by and subject to the provisions of Section 6(a) and (c) hereof and in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, the Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period of 180 days (as extended pursuant to Section 6(d)(i)) from the Consummation Deadline or such shorter period as will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto if any such Broker-Dealer desiring such action shall notify the Company in writing that such Broker-Dealer acquired Exchange Notes as a result of market-making or other similar activities such that the Broker-Dealer would be required to deliver a prospectus under the Act upon a subsequent sale or other disposition of the Exchange Notes. The Company and the Guarantors shall provide copies of the latest version of such Prospectus to such Broker-Dealers, in such number as such Broker-Dealers may reasonably request promptly upon such request, and in no event later than two Business Days after the date of such request, at any time during such period. 5 Section 4. Shelf Registration. (a) If (i) the Exchange Offer is not permitted by applicable law (after the Company and the Guarantors have complied with the procedures set forth in Section 6(a)(i) below) or (ii) any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall notify the Company in writing within 30 days following the Consummation Deadline that (A) such Holder was prohibited by law or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange Offer or (B) such Holder may not resell the Exchange Notes acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such resales by such Holder or (C) such Holder is a Broker-Dealer and holds Notes acquired directly from the Company or any of their Affiliates, or (iii) the Exchange Offer has not been Consummated on or prior to the Consummation Deadline, then the Company and the Guarantors shall: (x) cause to be filed, on or prior to 45 days after the earliest of (i) the date on which the Company determines that the Exchange Offer Registration Statement cannot be filed as a result of clause (a)(i) above, (ii) the date on which the Company receives the notice specified in clause (a)(ii) above, or (iii) if the Exchange Offer has not been consummated on or prior to the Consummation Deadline, the Consummation Deadline (such earliest date, the "FILING DEADLINE"), a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act (which may be an amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (the "SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENT")), relating to all Transfer Restricted Securities, and (y) shall use their respective best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become effective on or prior to 90 days after the Filing Deadline for the Shelf Registration Statement (such 90th day the "EFFECTIVENESS DEADLINE"). If, after the Company and the Guarantors filed an Exchange Offer Registration Statement that satisfies the requirements of Section 3(a) above, the Company and the Guarantors are required to file and make effective a Shelf Registration Statement solely because the Exchange Offer is not permitted under applicable federal law (i.e., clause (a)(i) above), then the filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of clause (x) above; provided that, in such event, the Company and the Guarantors shall remain obligated to use best efforts to meet the Effectiveness Deadline set forth in clause (y). To the extent necessary to ensure that the Shelf Registration Statement is available for sales of Transfer Restricted Securities by the Holders thereof entitled to the benefit of this Section 4(a) and the other securities required to be registered therein pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii) hereof, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective best efforts to keep any Shelf Registration Statement required by this Section 4(a) continuously effective, supplemented, amended and current as required by and subject to the provisions of Sections 6(b) and (c) hereof and in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, the Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period of at least two years (as extended pursuant to Section 6(c)(i)) following the Closing Date, or such shorter period as will terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto. (b) Provision by Holders of Certain Information in Connection with the Shelf Registration Statement. No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may include any of its Transfer Restricted Securities in any Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such Holder furnishes to the Company in writing, within 20 days after receipt of a request therefor, the information specified in Item 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K, as applicable, 6 of the Act for use in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus included therein. No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall be entitled to liquidated damages pursuant to Section 5 hereof unless and until such Holder shall have provided all such information. Each selling Holder agrees to promptly furnish additional information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not materially misleading. The Company shall not be obligated to supplement such Shelf Registration Statement after it has been declared effective by the Commission more than one time per quarterly period solely to reflect additional Holders. Section 5. Liquidated Damages. If (i) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement required by this Agreement is not filed with the Commission on or prior to the Filing Deadline, (ii) such Exchange Offer Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline or the Exchange Offer has not been Consummated on or prior to the Consummation Deadline or (iii) a Shelf Registration Statement has not been declared effective on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iii), a "REGISTRATION DEFAULT"), then the Company will pay to each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities affected thereby liquidated damages in an amount equal to $.05 per week per $1,000 in principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities held by such Holder for each week or portion thereof that the Registration Default continues for the first 30-day period immediately following the occurrence of a Registration Default referred to in clause (i) above or for the first 90-day period following the occurrence of a Registration Default referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) above. The amount of the liquidated damages shall increase by an additional $.05 per week per $1,000 in principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities with respect to each subsequent 30-day period in the case of clause (i) above or 90-day period in the case of clauses (ii) or (iii) above until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount of liquidated damages of $.30 per week per $1,000 in principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (1) upon filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, in the case of (i) above, (2) upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and the Consummation of the Exchange Offer, in the case of (ii) above or (3) upon effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, in the case of (iii) above, as applicable, the liquidated damages payable with respect to the Transfer Restricted Securities as a result of such clause (i), (ii) or (iii), as applicable, shall cease. All accrued liquidated damages shall be paid to the Holders entitled thereto, in the manner provided for the payment of interest in the Indenture, on each Interest Payment Date, as more fully set forth in the Indenture and the Notes. Notwithstanding the fact that any securities for which liquidated damages are due cease to be Transfer Restricted Securities, all obligations of the Company and the Guarantors to pay accrued liquidated damages with respect to such securities shall survive until such time as such obligations with respect to such securities shall have been satisfied in full. Section 6. Registration Procedures. (a) Exchange Offer Registration Statement. In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company and the Guarantors shall (x) comply with all applicable provisions of Section 6(c) below, (y) use their respective reasonable best efforts to effect such exchange and to permit the resale of Exchange Notes by any Broker-Dealer that tendered in the Exchange Offer Notes that such Broker-Dealer acquired for its own account as a 7 result of its market making activities or other trading activities (other than Notes acquired directly from the Company or any of their Affiliates) being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and (z) comply with all of the following provisions: (i) If, following the date hereof there has been announced a change in Commission policy with respect to exchange offers such as the Exchange Offer, that in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company raises a substantial question as to whether the Exchange Offer is permitted by applicable federal law, the Company and the Guarantors hereby agree to seek a no-action letter or other favorable decision from the Commission allowing the Company and the Guarantors to Consummate an Exchange Offer for such Transfer Restricted Securities. The Company and the Guarantors hereby agree to pursue the issuance of such a decision to the Commission staff level, but shall not be required to take commercially unreasonable action to effect a change of Commission policy. In connection with the foregoing, the Company and the Guarantors hereby agree to take all such other actions as may be requested by the Commission or otherwise reasonably required in connection with the issuance of such decision, including without limitation (A) participating in telephonic conferences with the Commission, (B) delivering to the Commission staff an analysis prepared by counsel to the Company setting forth the legal bases, if any, upon which such counsel has concluded that such an Exchange Offer should be permitted and (C) diligently pursuing a resolution (which need not be favorable) by the Commission staff. (ii) As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer, each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (including, without limitation, any Holder who is a Broker-Dealer) shall furnish, upon the request of the Company, prior to the Consummation of the Exchange Offer, a written representation to the Company and the Guarantors (which may be contained in the letter of transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an Affiliate of the Company, (B) it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the Exchange Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer and (C) it is acquiring the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business. As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer each Holder using the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the Exchange Notes shall acknowledge and agree that if the resales are of Exchange Notes obtained by such Holder in exchange for Notes acquired directly from the Company or an Affiliate thereof, it (1) could not, under Commission policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement, rely on the position of the Commission enunciated in Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the Commission's letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and similar no-action letters (including, if applicable, any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above), and (2) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction and that such a secondary resale transaction must be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K. 8 (iii) Prior to effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall provide a supplemental letter to the Commission (A) stating that the Company and the Guarantors are registering the Exchange Offer in reliance on the position of the Commission enunciated in Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) as interpreted in the Commission's letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and, if applicable, any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above, (B) including a representation that neither the Company nor any Guarantor has entered into any arrangement or understanding with any Person to distribute the Exchange Notes to be received in the Exchange Offer and that, to the best of the Company's and each Guarantor's information and belief, each Holder participating in the Exchange Offer is acquiring the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes received in the Exchange Offer and (C) any other undertaking or representation required by the Commission as set forth in any no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above, if applicable. (b) Shelf Registration Statement. In connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall: (i) comply with all the provisions of Section 6(c) below and use their respective reasonable best efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof (as indicated in the information furnished to the Company pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof), and pursuant thereto the Company and the Guarantors will prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement relating to the registration on any appropriate form under the Act, which form shall be available for the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof within the time periods and otherwise in accordance with the provisions hereof, and (ii) issue, upon the request of any Holder or purchaser of Notes covered by any Shelf Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement, Exchange Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Notes sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and surrendered to the Company for cancellation; the Company shall register Exchange Notes on the Shelf Registration Statement for this purpose and issue the Exchange Notes to the purchaser(s) of securities subject to the Shelf Registration Statement in the names as such purchaser(s) shall designate. (c) General Provisions. In connection with any Registration Statement and any related Prospectus required by this Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors shall: (i) use their respective reasonable best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective and provide all requisite financial statements for the period specified in Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement, as applicable. Upon the occurrence of any event that would cause any such Registration Statement or the Prospectus 9 contained therein (A) to contain an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein (in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (B) not to be effective and usable for resale of Transfer Restricted Securities during the period required by this Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors shall file promptly an appropriate amendment to such Registration Statement curing such defect, and, if Commission review is required, use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment to be declared effective as soon as practicable. (ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the applicable Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the applicable period set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as the case may be; cause the Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act, and to comply fully with Rules 424, 430A and 462, as applicable, under the Act in a timely manner; and comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus; (iii) with respect to a Shelf Registration Statement, advise each selling Holder promptly and, if requested by such selling Holder, confirm such advice in writing, (A) when the Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to any applicable Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective, (B) of any request by the Commission for amendments to the Registration Statement or amendments or supplements to the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto, (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement under the Act or of the suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes, (D) of the existence of any fact or the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto or any document incorporated by reference therein untrue, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Registration Statement in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Prospectus in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or any state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under state securities or Blue Sky laws, the Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time; (iv) subject to Section 6(c)(i), if any fact or event contemplated by Section 6(c)(iii)(D) above shall exist or have occurred, prepare a supplement or post-effective 10 amendment to the Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Transfer Restricted Securities, the Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (v) furnish to the Purchaser and, with respect to a Shelf Registration Statement, each selling Holder named in any Registration Statement or Prospectus in connection with such exchange or sale, if any, before filing with the Commission, copies of any Registration Statement or any Prospectus included therein or any amendments or supplements to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (including all documents incorporated by reference after the initial filing of such Registration Statement), which documents will be subject to the review and comment of such Holders in connection with such sale, if any, for a period of at least five Business Days, and the Company will not file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (including all such documents incorporated by reference) to which such Holders shall reasonably object within five Business Days after the receipt thereof. A Holder shall be deemed to have reasonably objected to such filing if such Registration Statement, amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as applicable, as proposed to be filed, contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein (in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or fails to comply with the applicable requirements of the Act; (vi) with respect to a Shelf Registration Statement, promptly prior to the filing of any document that is to be incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement or Prospectus, provide copies of such document to each selling Holder, upon such selling Holder's reasonable request, in connection with such exchange or sale, if any; (vii) with respect to a Shelf Registration Statement, subject to appropriate confidentiality agreements being entered into, make available, at reasonable times, for inspection by each selling Holder and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents of the Company and the Guarantors and cause at reasonable times the Company's and the Guarantors' officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Holder, attorney or accountant at reasonable times in connection with such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto subsequent to the filing thereof and prior to its effectiveness; (viii) with respect to a Shelf Registration Statement, if requested by any selling Holders in connection with such sale, promptly include in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, pursuant to a supplement or post-effective amendment if necessary, such information as such Holders may reasonably request to have included therein, including, without limitation, information relating to the "Plan of Distribution" of the Transfer Restricted Securities; and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or 11 post-effective amendment as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company is notified of the matters to be included in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; (ix) with respect to a Shelf Registration Statement, furnish to each selling Holder in connection with such exchange or sale, without charge, at least one copy of the Registration Statement, as first filed with the Commission, and of each amendment thereto, including all documents incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits (including exhibits incorporated therein by reference); (x) with respect to a Shelf Registration Statement, deliver to each Holder, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Holder reasonably may request; the Company and the Guarantors hereby consent to the use (in accordance with law, rules, regulations and orders) of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each selling Holder in connection with the public offering and the sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto; (xi) upon the request of any Holders who collectively hold an aggregate principal amount of Notes in excess of 20% of the outstanding Transferred Securities (the "REQUESTING HOLDERS") enter into an underwriting agreement and make such representations and warranties and take all such other actions in connection therewith as may be reasonable and customary in underwritten offerings in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to any applicable Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement as may be reasonably requested by any Requesting Holder in connection with any sale or resale pursuant to any applicable Registration Statement. In such connection, the Company and the Guarantors shall: (A) upon request of any Requesting Holder furnish (or in the case of paragraphs (2) and (3) below, use their best efforts to cause to be furnished) to each Requesting Holder, upon Consummation of the Exchange Offer or upon the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be: (1) a certificate, dated such date, signed on behalf of the Company and each Guarantor by (x) the President or any Vice President and (y) a principal financial or accounting officer of the Company, and such Guarantor, confirming, as of the date thereof, the matters set forth in Section 5(e) of the Purchase Agreement and such other similar matters as such Holders may reasonably request; (2) an opinion, dated the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer or the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, of counsel for the Company, covering matters similar to those set forth in paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of Section 5 of the Purchase Agreement and Exhibits A, B and C thereto, subject to the same conditions with respect thereto and to the delivery thereof and such other matter as such Requesting Holder may reasonably request which are 12 customarily covered in Company counsel opinions to underwriters in underwritten public offerings, and in any event including a statement to the effect that such counsel has participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company and the Guarantors, representatives of the independent public accountants for the Company and the Guarantors and have considered the matters required to be stated therein and the statements contained therein, although such counsel has not independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements; and that such counsel advises that, on the basis of the foregoing (relying as to materiality to the extent such counsel deems appropriate upon the statements of officers and other representatives of the Company and the Guarantors) and without independent check or verification), no facts came to such counsel's attention that caused such counsel to believe that the applicable Registration Statement, at the time such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto became effective and, in the case of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as of the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or that the Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement as of its date and, in the case of the opinion dated the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer, as of the date of Consummation, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Without limiting the foregoing, such counsel may state further that such counsel assumes no responsibility for, and has not independently verified, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the financial statements, notes and schedules and other financial data and statistical data included in any Registration Statement contemplated by this Agreement or the related Prospectus; and (3) a customary comfort letter, dated the date of Consummation of the Exchange Offer, or as of the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, from the Company's independent accountants specified in the Purchase Agreement, in the customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in comfort letters to underwriters in connection with underwritten public offerings, and covering the matters set forth in the comfort letters delivered pursuant to Section 5(a) of the Purchase Agreement subject to the same conditions with respect thereto and to the delivery thereof; and (B) deliver such other documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the selling Holders to evidence compliance with the matters covered in clause (A) above and with any customary conditions contained in the any agreement entered into by the Company and the Guarantors pursuant to this clause (xi); 13 (xii) prior to any public offering of Transfer Restricted Securities, cooperate with the selling Holders and their counsel in connection with the registration and qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the selling Holders may reasonably request and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement; provided, however, that neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required to register or qualify as a foreign corporation where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to the service of process in suits or to taxation, other than as to matters and transactions relating to the Registration Statement, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject; (xiii) in connection with any sale of Transfer Restricted Securities that will result in such securities no longer being Transfer Restricted Securities, cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Transfer Restricted Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends; and to register such Transfer Restricted Securities in such denominations and such names as the selling Holders may request at least two Business Days prior to any sale of such Transfer Restricted Securities; (xiv) use their respective best efforts to cause the disposition of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Transfer Restricted Securities, subject to the proviso contained in clause (xii) above; (xv) provide a CUSIP number for all Transfer Restricted Securities not later than the effective date of a Registration Statement covering such Transfer Restricted Securities and provide the Trustee under the Indenture with certificates for the Transfer Restricted Securities which are in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company; (xvi) otherwise use their respective reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make generally available to its security holders with regard to any applicable Registration Statement, as soon as practicable, a consolidated earnings statement meeting the requirements of Rule 158 (which need not be audited) covering a twelve-month period beginning after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as such term is defined in paragraph (c) of Rule 158 under the Act); (xvii) cause the Indenture to be qualified under the TIA not later than the effective date of the first Registration Statement required by this Agreement and, in connection therewith, cooperate with the Trustee to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for such Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the TIA; and execute and use its best efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents that may be required to effect such changes and all other forms and 14 documents required to be filed with the Commission to enable such Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner; (xviii) provide promptly to each Holder, upon request, each document filed with the Commission pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act if not obtainable from the Commission; and (xix) the Company and the Guarantors will be deemed not to have used their reasonable best efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, to become, or to remain, effective during the requisite period if the Company or any of the Guarantors voluntarily and knowingly takes any action that would, or omits to take any action which omission would, result in any such Registration Statement not being declared effective or in the Holders of Registrable Securities covered thereby not being able to exchange or offer and sell such Registrable Securities during that period as and to the extent contemplated hereby, unless (i) such action is required by applicable law or (ii) such action is taken by the Company and the Guarantors in good faith and for valid business reasons (but not including avoidance of the Company's or the Guarantors', as applicable, obligations hereunder), including a material corporate transaction, so long as the Company and the Guarantors promptly comply with the requirements of Section 6(c)(iv) thereof, if applicable. (d) Restrictions on Selling Holders. With respect to a Shelf Registration Statement, each selling Holder agrees by acquisition of a Transfer Restricted Security that, upon receipt of the notice referred to in Section 6(c)(iii)(C) or any notice from the Company of the existence of any fact or the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 6(c)(iii)(D) hereof, or upon receipt of a notice from the Company pending the announcement of a material corporate transaction that the Shelf Registration Statement is unusable (in each case, a "SUSPENSION NOTICE"), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement until (i) such selling Holder has received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(c)(iv) hereof, or (ii) such selling Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (in each case, the "RECOMMENCEMENT DATE"). Each Holder receiving a Suspension Notice hereby agrees that it will either (i) destroy any Prospectuses, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder's possession which have been replaced by the Company with more recently dated Prospectuses or (ii) deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder's possession of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted Securities that was current at the time of receipt of the Suspension Notice. The time period regarding the effectiveness of such Registration Statement set forth in Section 3 or 4 hereof, as applicable, shall be extended by a number of days equal to the number of days in the period from and including the date of delivery of the Suspension Notice to the date of delivery of the Recommencement Date. Section 7. Registration Expenses. (a) All expenses incident to the Company's and the Guarantors' performance of or compliance with this Agreement will be borne, jointly and severally, by the Company and the Guarantors, regardless of whether a Registration 15 Statement becomes effective, including without limitation: (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses; (ii) all fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state Blue Sky or securities laws; (iii) all expenses of printing (including printing certificates for the Exchange Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer and printing of Prospectuses), messenger and delivery services and telephone; (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the Guarantors and one counsel for the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities chosen by the Holders of a majority of the outstanding Transfer Restricted Securities; (v) all application and filing fees in connection with listing the Exchange Notes on a national securities exchange or automated quotation system pursuant to the requirements hereof; and (vi) all fees and disbursements of independent certified public accountants of the Company and the Guarantors (including the expenses of any special audit and comfort letters required by or incident to such performance). The Company will, in any event, bear its and the Guarantors' internal expenses (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the fees and expenses of any Person, including special experts, retained by the Company or the Guarantors. (b) In connection with any Registration Statement required by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and the Shelf Registration Statement), the Company and the Guarantors will reimburse the Purchaser and the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities who are tendering Notes into the Exchange Offer and/or selling or reselling Notes or Exchange Notes pursuant to the "Plan of Distribution" contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable, for the reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one counsel, who shall be Shearman & Sterling unless another firm shall be chosen by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities for whose benefit such Registration Statement is being prepared. Section 8. Indemnification. (a) The Company and the Guarantors agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its directors, officers, any underwriter in any underwritten public offering of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), from and against (i) any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) pursuant to which Transfer Restricted Securities are registered under the Act, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (ii) any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim 16 whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, provided that (subject to Section 8(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company and the Guarantors; and (iii) any and all expenses whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by any indemnified party, subject to the limitations in Section 8(c) below), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under subparagraph (i) or (ii) above; provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company and the Guarantors by the Purchaser, such Holder or such underwriter expressly for use in a Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto); provided, further, that the Company will not be liable to any Purchaser, Holder (in its capacity as Holder) or underwriter (or any person who controls such party within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) with respect to any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any preliminary Prospectus to the extent that the Company shall sustain the burden of proving that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense resulted from the fact that such Purchaser, Holder (in its capacity as Holder) or underwriter, as the case may be, sold Transfer Restricted Securities to a Person to whom such Purchaser, Holder (in its capacity as Holder) or underwriter, as the case may be, failed to send or give, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Securities a copy of the final Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) if the Company has previously furnished copies thereof (sufficiently in advance of the closing of such sale to allow for distribution of the final Prospectus in a timely manner) to such Purchaser, Holder (in its capacity as Holder) or underwriter, as the case may be, and the loss, liability, claim, damage or expense of such Purchaser, Holder (in its capacity as Holder) or underwriter, as the case may be, resulted solely from an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in or omitted from such preliminary Prospectus which was corrected in the final Prospectus. (b) Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantors, and their respective directors and officers, and each person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the Company, or the Guarantors to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Guarantors set forth in section (a) above, but only with reference to information relating to such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement. In no event shall any Holder, its directors, officers or any Person who controls such Holder be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the amount by which the total amount received by such Holder with respect to its sale of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds (i) the amount paid by such Holder for such Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) the amount of any damages that such Holder, its directors, officers or any Person who controls such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 17 (c) In case any action shall be commenced involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b) (the "INDEMNIFIED PARTY"), the indemnified party shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "INDEMNIFYING PERSON") in writing and the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of such action, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party and the payment of all fees and expenses of such counsel, as incurred (except that in the case of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to both Sections 8(a) and 8(b), a Holder shall not be required to assume the defense of such action pursuant to this Section 8(c), but may employ separate counsel and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel, except as provided below, shall be at the expense of the Holder). Any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnified party unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such action or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party within a reasonable period of time after notification by the indemnified party or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, and the indemnified party shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party). In any such case, the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties and all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed promptly following receipt of invoice therefor as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by a majority of the Holders, in the case of the parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company and Guarantors, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). The indemnifying party under this Section 8 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final non-appealable judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 8(c) hereof, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the final terms of such proposed settlement as soon as practicable prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such 18 indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding. (d) To the extent that the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, from their sale of Transfer Restricted Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 8(d)(i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and of the Holder, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and of the Holder, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or such Guarantor, on the one hand, or by the Holder, on the other hand, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in the third sentence of Section 8(c), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The Company, the Guarantors and each Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any matter, including any action that could have given rise to such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or judgments. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Holder, its directors, its officers or any Person, if any, who controls such Holder shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the total received by such Holder with respect to the sale of Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds (i) the amount paid by such Holder for such Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) the amount of any damages which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

The Company and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that any failure by the Company and/or the Guarantors to comply with their respective obligations under Sections 3 and 4 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Purchaser or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Purchaser or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Company's and the Guarantors' obligations under Sections 3 and 4 hereof. The Company and the Guarantors further agree to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate. (b) No Inconsistent Agreements.

Thereafter, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on October 15 of the years indicated below:
YEAR PERCENTAGE 2006................................... 106.063% 2007................................... 104.042% 2008................................... 102.021% 2009 and thereafter.................... 100.000%

Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on the date specified in such notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by the Agreement and described in such notice. (b) Within 12 months after the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company may at its option: (i) apply all or a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds to the permanent reduction of amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement (and to correspondingly reduce the commitments, if any, with respect thereto) or to the permanent repayment of other Senior Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, provided that the repayment of any Indebtedness incurred under the Credit Agreement in connection with G-4 the acquisition of any Facility with the proceeds of any subsequent Sale and Leaseback Transaction relating to such Facility shall not be required to result in the permanent reduction of the amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement or correspondingly permanently reduce the commitments thereunder, or (ii) invest (or enter into a legally binding agreement to invest) all or a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in properties and assets to replace the properties and assets that were the subject of the Asset Sale or in properties and assets that will be used in the businesses of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, existing on the Closing Date or in businesses the same, similar or reasonably related thereto. If any such legally binding agreement to invest such Net Cash Proceeds is terminated, the Company may, within 90 days of such termination or within 12 months of such Asset Sale, whichever is later, invest such Net Cash Proceeds as provided in clause (i) or (ii) (without regard to the parenthetical contained in such clause (ii)) above. Pending the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in a manner that is not prohibited by this Agreement. The amount of such Net Cash Proceeds not so used as set forth above in this paragraph shall constitute "Excess Proceeds." When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10,000,000, the Company will, within 30 days thereafter, make an offer to purchase (an "Excess Proceeds Offer") from all Holders of Notes on a pro rata basis, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement, the maximum principal amount (expressed as a multiple of $1,000) of Notes that may be purchased with the Excess Proceeds, at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, to the date such offer to purchase is consummated.

Upon completion of such offer to purchase, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero. 7. Selection and Notice of Redemption. In case the Company is entitled to, and elects to, redeem less than all of the Notes, the Company shall redeem the Notes pro rata from each Holder (or as nearly pro rata as practicable). For all purposes of this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Notes shall relate, in the case of any Notes redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Notes which has been or is to be redeemed. Notices of redemption may not be conditional. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption. 8. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.

Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Agreement or the Notes may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company; to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company; to add additional Events of Default; to secure the Notes; or to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental agreement to the Agreement and a Guarantee with respect to the Notes. 11. Defaults and Remedies. In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to the Parent, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, 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 by notice in writing to the Company specifying the respective Event of Default. Holders of the Notes may enforce the Agreement or the Notes as provided in the Agreement. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Company may waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Agreement except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or Liquidated Damages on, or the principal of, the Notes. 12. No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Parent, the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Parent, the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Notes, the Agreement, the Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

The Company has no reason to believe that it or any Subsidiary will not be able (i) to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such policies expire or (ii) to obtain comparable coverage from similar institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted and at a cost that would not result in a Material Adverse Change. To the best of the Company's knowledge, after due inquiry, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has been denied any insurance coverage which it has sought or for which it has applied and there are no claims by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any current insurance policy as to which any insurance company or institution is denying, or will deny, liability or coverage or defending under a reservation of rights clause.

In computing the amount of contingent liabilities at any time, it is intended that such liabilities will be computed at the amount which, in light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability. (dd) No Unlawful Contributions or Other Payments. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to the best of the Company's or any Guarantor's knowledge, any employee or agent of the Company or any Subsidiary, has made any contribution or other payment to any official of, or candidate for, any federal, state or foreign office in 14 violation of any law or of the character necessary to be disclosed in the Offering Memorandum in order to make the statements therein not misleading.

(gg) ERISA Compliance. The Company and its Subsidiaries and any "employee benefit plan" (as defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder (collectively, "ERISA")) established or maintained by the Company, its Subsidiaries or their "ERISA Affiliates" (as defined below) are in compliance in all respects with ERISA or, if not in compliance, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

No "reportable event" (as defined under ERISA) has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any "employee benefit plan" established or maintained by the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates. No "employee benefit plan" established or maintained by the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates, if such "employee benefit plan" were terminated, would have any "amount of unfunded benefit liabilities" (as defined under ERISA). Neither the Company, its Subsidiaries nor any of their ERISA Affiliates has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any liability under (i) Title IV of ERISA with respect to termination of, or withdrawal from, any "employee benefit plan" or (ii) Sections 412, 4971, 4975 or 4980B of the Code. Each "employee benefit plan" established or maintained by the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification. (hh) Regulation S Compliance. The Company, the Guarantors and their respective Affiliates and all authorized persons acting on their behalf (other than the Initial Purchaser, as to whom the Company and the Guarantors make no representation) have complied with and will comply with the offering restrictions requirements of Regulation S in connection with the offering of the Securities outside the United States and, in connection therewith, the Offering Memorandum will contain the disclosure required by Rule 902(h).

Section 6. Reimbursement of Initial Purchaser's Expenses. If the issuance and sale to the Initial Purchaser of the Securities on the Closing Date is not consummated because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or to comply with any provision hereof, the Company agrees to, and Holdings agrees to cause the Company to, reimburse the Initial Purchaser upon demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that shall have been incurred by the Initial Purchaser in connection with the proposed offering and sale of the Securities. Section 7. Offer, Sale and Resale Procedures. The Initial Purchaser, on the one hand, and Holdings and the Company, on the other hand, hereby establish and agree to observe the following procedures in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities: (a) Offers and Sales Only to Qualified Institutional Buyers and Non-U.S. Persons. Offers and sales of the Securities will be made only by the Initial Purchaser or Affiliates thereof qualified to do so in the jurisdictions in which such offers or sales are made. Each such offer or sale shall only be made (A) to persons whom the offeror or seller reasonably believes to be qualified institutional buyers (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or (B) non-U.S. persons outside the United States to whom the offeror or seller reasonably believes offers and sales of the Securities may be made in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities Act, upon the terms and conditions set forth in Annex I hereto, which Annex I is hereby expressly made a part hereof. 23 (b) No General Solicitation. The Securities will be offered by approaching prospective Subsequent Purchasers on an individual basis. No general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act) will be used in the United States in connection with the offering of the Securities. (c) Restrictions on Transfer. Upon original issuance by the Company, and until such time as the same is no longer required under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Notes (and all securities issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof, other than the Exchange Securities) shall bear a legend substantially in the form set forth in Section 10(d) of the Note Purchase Agreement. Following the sale of the Securities by the Initial Purchaser to Subsequent Purchasers pursuant to the terms hereof, the Initial Purchaser shall not be liable or responsible to the Company for any losses, damages or liabilities suffered or incurred by the Company, including any losses, damages or liabilities under the Securities Act, arising from or relating to any resale or transfer of any Security. Section 8. Indemnification. (a) Indemnification of the Initial Purchaser. Each of Holdings, the Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Initial Purchaser, its directors, officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls the Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which the Initial Purchaser or such controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of Holdings and the Company), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based (i) upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (ii) in whole or in part upon any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company or any Guarantor contained herein; or (iii) in whole or in part upon any failure of the Company or any Guarantor to perform its obligations hereunder or under law; or (iv) any act or failure to act or any alleged act or failure to act by the Initial Purchaser in connection with, or relating in any manner to, the offering contemplated hereby, and which is included as part of or referred to in any loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising out of or based upon any matter covered by clause (i) above to the extent such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is not covered in items (i) through (iii) (subject to the limitations set forth below), provided that none of the Company or any Guarantor shall be liable under this clause (iv) to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final judgment that such loss, claim, damage, liability or action resulted directly from any such acts or failures to act undertaken or omitted to be taken by the Initial Purchaser through its gross negligence or 24 willful misconduct; and to reimburse the Initial Purchaser and each such controlling person for any and all expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Initial Purchaser) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchaser or such controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Initial Purchaser expressly for use in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto). The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that Holdings or the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors may otherwise have. (b) Indemnification of the Company and the Guarantors and their Directors and Officers. The Initial Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Holdings and the Company and each of their respective directors and each person, if any, who controls the Company or Holdings within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which Holdings or the Company or any such director, or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Initial Purchaser), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or arises out of or is based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Initial Purchaser expressly for use therein; and to reimburse Holdings and the Company or any such director or controlling person for any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by Holdings or the Company or any such director or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. Holdings and the Company hereby acknowledge that the only information that the Initial Purchaser has furnished to the Company expressly for use in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) are the statements set forth in [(A) the seventh full paragraph on introductory page ii of the Offering Memorandum, (B) the second sentence under the caption "Risk Factors--You cannot be sure that an active trading market will develop for these notes," and (C) the first sentence of the third paragraph, the first three sentences of the fourth paragraph, the third sentence of the sixth paragraph and the eight paragraph under the caption "Plan 25 of Distribution" in the Offering Memorandum](8); and the Initial Purchaser confirms that such statements are correct. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Initial Purchaser may otherwise have. (c) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise than under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8 or to the extent it is not prejudiced as a proximate result of such failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party's election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with local counsel), approved by the indemnifying party (the Initial Purchaser in the case of Section 8 and Section 9), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. (d) Settlements. The indemnifying party under this Section 8 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final non-appealable judgment for the plaintiff, ------------------------ (8) To be updated based on Offering Memorandum. 26 the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 8(c) hereof, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the final terms of such proposed settlement as soon as practicable prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding. 27 Section 9. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 8 is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by Holdings, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of Holdings and the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties herein which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by Holdings and the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds, if any, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total discount, if any, received by the Initial Purchaser bear to the aggregate initial offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of Holdings, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or any such inaccurate or alleged inaccurate representation or warranty relates to information supplied by Holdings, the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, or the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8(c), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in Section 8(c) with respect to notice of commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 9; provided that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under Section 8(c) for purposes of indemnification. The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 9. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, the Initial Purchaser shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the discount received by the Initial Purchaser in connection with the Securities distributed by them. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to 28 contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9, each director, officer and employee of the Initial Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls the Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Initial Purchaser, and each director of Holdings and the Company and each person, if any, who controls Holdings and the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as Holdings and the Company. Section 10. [Intentionally Omitted.] Section 11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of Holdings and the Company of their officers and of the Initial Purchaser set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser, Holdings or the Company or any of its or their partners, officers or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

(xvii) The execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the DTC Letter of Representations, the Securities and the Indenture by the Company ------------------------ (12) To be updated based on Offering Memorandum. A-3 and the Guarantors, the performance by the Company and the Guarantors of their respective obligations thereunder (i) will not result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or by-laws of the Company or any Guarantor, as applicable, (ii) will not constitute a breach of, or Default, or result in the imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any Guarantor, as applicable, pursuant to any material contract, loan agreement, note indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor, as applicable, is a party; or (iii) to the best knowledge of such counsel, will not result in any violation of any law, administrative regulation or administrative or court decree applicable to the Company or any Guarantor.

(xx) Assuming the accuracy of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and the Initial Purchaser contained in the Purchase Agreement, no registration of the Notes or the Guarantees under the Securities Act, and no qualification of an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act with respect thereto, is required in connection with the exchange of the Existing Notes for the Securities [(or, with respect to the Additional Notes, the purchase thereof)] by the Initial Purchaser or the initial resale of the Securities by the Initial Purchaser to Qualified Institutional Buyers or non-U.S. persons in the manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Offering Memorandum other than any registration or qualification that may be required in connection with the Exchange Offer contemplated by the Offering Memorandum or in connection with the Registration Rights Agreement.

(xxi) The documents incorporated by reference in the Offering Memorandum (other than the financial statements and related notes thereto and other financial, statistical and accounting data and supporting schedules therein, as to which no opinion need be rendered), when they were filed with the Commission, complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act. (xxii) To such counsel's knowledge, there are no pending or threatened legal or governmental proceedings to which Holdings, the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party that would be required to be described by Item 103 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act if the issuance of the Notes were being registered under the Securities Act but is not so described in the Offering Memorandum. A-4 (xxiii) None of the sale, issuance, execution or delivery of the Notes will contravene Regulation T (12 C.F.R. Part 220), Regulation U (12 C.F.R. Part 221) or Regulation X (12 C.F.R. Part 224) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The enforceability of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Indenture, the DTC Letter of Representations, the Notes, the Guarantees of the Notes by the Guarantors is subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) general principles of equity, whether considered at law or in equity. We express no opinion with respect to the indemnification and contribution provisions contained in the Registration Rights Agreement and the Indenture. We have participated in various conferences with the officers and other representatives of the Company and its independent certified public accountants. In some conferences you and your counsel also participated. At those conferences, the contents of the Offering Memorandum and Prospectus were discussed and revised. Since the dates of those conferences, we have inquired of certain officers whether there has been any material change in the affairs of the Company. Because of the inherent limitations in the independent verification of factual matters, and the character of determinations involved in the preparation of offering memoranda under the Securities Act, we are not passing upon, and do not assume any responsibility for, and make no representation that we have independently verified, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Offering Memorandum, other than to the extent set forth in paragraphs (xiv) and (xv) above. Also, we do not express any opinion or belief as to the financial statements or other financial and statistical information contained in the Offering Memorandum, or derived therefrom, or incorporated therein by reference. However, subject to the foregoing, on the basis of our participation in the conferences referred to above and our examination of the documents referred to herein, we advise you that nothing has come to the attention of the attorneys of this firm who have been engaged in the representation of the Company in connection with the Company's issuance and sale of the Notes that leads us to believe that the Offering Memorandum, as of its date or at the Closing Date, contained or contains an untrue statement of material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. A-5 EXHIBIT B FORM OF OPINION OF GENERAL COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY (i) The statements in the Offering Memorandum under the captions ["Risk Factors--Risks Relating to Our Company and Our Industry--Changes in the rates or methods of third-party reimbursements for diagnostic imaging and therapeutic services could result in reduced demand for our services or create downward pricing pressure, which would result in a decline in our revenues and harm our financial position," "Risk Factors--Risks Relating to Our Company and Our Industry--We may be unable to renew or maintain our customer contracts which would harm our business and financial results," "Risk Factors--Risks Relating to Government Regulation of Our Business," "Business--Diagnostic Imaging and Other Equipment," "Business--Properties," "Business--Reimbursement of HealthCare Costs," "Business--Government Regulation," "Business--Compliance Program," "Business--Legal Proceedings" and "Business--Company History,"](1)3 insofar as such statements constitute matters of law, summaries of legal matters, proceedings, documents or legal conclusions, have been reviewed by such counsel and fairly present and summarize, in all material respects, the matters referred to therein.
