Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On May 21, 2012, Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (the “Company”) entered into (1) a supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to the indenture, dated as of March 10, 2009 (the “2017 Indenture”), among the Company, as issuer, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, as guarantors (the “Guarantors”), and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), pursuant to which its 13% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”) were issued, (2) an amendment (the “ICA Amendment”) to the intercreditor agreement, dated as of March 10, 2009 (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, Bank of America, N.A., as agent under the Company’s asset-backed revolving credit facility (the “ABL Agent”), and Bank of America, N.A. and Royal Bank of Canada, as lenders under such asset-back revolving credit facility (the “ABL Lenders”), relating to the 2017 Notes, (3) an indenture (the “2020 Indenture”) between the Company and the Trustee providing for the issuance by the Company of $350 million aggregate principal amount of 7.500% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”), and (4) a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) among the Company and Goldman, Sachs & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, and RBC Capital Markets, LLC (collectively, the “Purchasers”) relating to the 2020 Notes.

Supplemental Indenture relating to the 2017 Notes

The Supplemental Indenture eliminates from the 2017 Indenture substantially all of the restrictive covenants, certain affirmative covenants and certain events of default, and permits the Company to, among other things, incur the indebtedness evidenced by the 2020 Notes. The Supplemental Indenture also eliminates definitions and cross-references that are no longer needed, effects conforming changes to the 2017 Notes and effects waivers of any and all defaults and events of default, and any noncompliance by the Company with any provision of the 2017 Indenture, the 2017 Notes or the Security Documents (as defined in the 2017 Indenture), that may have resulted from the issuance of the 2020 Notes or otherwise existed on May 21, 2012, to the extent that the same may be waived with the consent of the registered holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2017 Notes.

The foregoing description of the Supplemental Indenture is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Supplemental Indenture, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

ICA Amendment

The ICA Amendment modifies a provision of the Intercreditor Agreement that could otherwise require the lenders or holders of indebtedness that refinances or replaces the 2017 Notes to bind themselves in writing by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement so that such provision only applies to lenders or holders of secured indebtedness that refinances or replaces the 2017 Notes.

The foregoing description of the ICA Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the ICA Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 4.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

2020 Indenture relating to the 2020 Notes

The Company entered into the 2020 Indenture in connection with the issuance of the 2020 Notes. The Company will be required to pay interest on the 2020 Notes each June 1 and December 1, beginning December 1, 2012. The 2020 Notes will mature on June 1, 2020. The Company may redeem the 2020 Notes, in whole or in part, on or after June 1, 2016, at the redemption prices set forth in the 2020 Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption, and prior to June 1, 2016, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a “make-whole” premium set forth in the 2020 Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. The Company may also redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes on or prior to June 1, 2015 at a redemption price equal to 107.5% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings. The Company may be required to make an offer to purchase the 2020 Notes in certain circumstances described in the 2020 Indenture, including in connection with a change in control.

2

The 2020 Indenture contains covenants, which include limitations on restricted payments, dividends and other payments affecting “Restricted Subsidiaries” (as defined in the 2020 Indenture), incurrence of debt, asset sales, transactions with affiliates, liens, guarantees of debt of the Company by domestic Restricted Subsidiaries, creation of unrestricted subsidiaries, mergers and consolidations.

The 2020 Indenture contains customary events of default, including: (1) the Company’s failure to pay the principal on any 2020 Notes when due, at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise; (2) the Company’s failure to pay interest on any 2020 Notes for 30 days after such interest becomes due; (3) the Company’s failure to perform, or its breach of, any other covenant in the 2020 Indenture for 60 days after written notice from the Trustee or holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the 2020 Notes demanding cure; (4) nonpayment at maturity or the acceleration of maturity of debt of the Company and any significant subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a significant subsidiary (a “Significant Subsidiary Group”)) in a principal amount in the aggregate of $25.0 million or more; (5) the Company’s or any significant subsidiary’s (or a Significant Subsidiary Group’s) failure to pay a final judgment in excess of $25.0 million which is not discharged for a period of 60 days during which a stay is not in effect; (6) certain events of bankruptcy affecting the Company or any significant subsidiary (or a Significant Subsidiary Group); and (7) any guarantee of the 2020 Notes by a significant subsidiary (or a Significant Subsidiary Group) ceasing to be in full force and effect, being held in a judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or found to be invalid, or a guarantor denying its liability under any such guarantee.

If an event of default described in clause (6) of the preceding paragraph has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Company, the 2020 Indenture provides that the principal and accrued interest on the 2020 Notes will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holder. If any other event of default occurs and is continuing, the 2020 Indenture provides that either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the 2020 Notes may declare the principal and accrued interest of all the 2020 Notes to be due and payable immediately.

The foregoing description of the 2020 Indenture is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2020 Indenture, which is filed as Exhibit 4.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Registration Rights Agreement

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to file under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), no later than 180 days after May 21, 2012, a registration statement (the “Exchange Offer Registration Statement”) relating to an exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) pursuant to which notes (the “Exchange Notes”) substantially identical to the 2020 Notes are exchanged (except that such Exchange Notes will be registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and will not contain terms with respect to the special interest payments described below). The Company is also obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective no later than 210 days following May 21, 2012. The Company also agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to commence and complete the Exchange Offer promptly after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has become effective, hold the offer open for at least 30 days and exchange Exchange Notes for all 2020 Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn before the expiration of the Exchange Offer.

In the event that the Company defaults on these registration obligations, the Company will be obligated to pay special interest to affected holders of 2020 Notes as provided in the 2020 Indenture.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 4.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

(c) notwithstanding clause (a) or (b) above, interest on Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis, to the extent such interest is covered by agreements relating to Hedging Protection Obligations, shall be deemed to accrue at the rate per annum resulting after giving effect to the operation of these agreements.

THE NOTES

Section 2.01 Form and Dating.

(a) General. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

(b) Global Notes. Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to

33

reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof. Notes offered and sold to a QIB in reliance on Rule 144A shall be issued initially in the form of one or more 144A Global Notes and numbered from 1 upward with the prefix “RA”, Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of one or more Regulation S Global Notes and numbered from 1 upward with the prefix “RS”, Notes issued to Institutional Accredited Investors shall be issued initially in the form of one or more IAI Global Notes and numbered from 1 upward with the prefix “IAI”, and Unrestricted Global Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent Global Notes with the Global Legend and numbered from 1 upward with the prefix “R”, which in each case shall be deposited with the Custodian, and registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided.

Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication.

At least one Officer must sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

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

A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Company pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07 hereof.

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

Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent.

The Company will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents, provided, that at all times there shall be only one Note register. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the provisions of Section 317(b) of the TIA. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that related to such Agent. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

34

The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

The Company initially appoints the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes and as the agency of the Company where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served.

Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

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

Section 2.05 Holder Lists.

The Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA §312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company will furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA §312(a).

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes if:

(i) the Company delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary;

By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Global Notes Legend or the Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and agrees that it shall transfer such Note only as provided in this Indenture.

(h) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

(i) General Provisions Relating to Transfers, Exchanges and Global Notes.

(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrar’s request.

(ii) No service charge will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 4.10, 4.14 and 9.05 hereof).

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

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

(v) Neither the Registrar nor the Company will be required:

(A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection; or

(B) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date.

(vi) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is

46

registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to the record date provisions of the Notes) interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

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

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

(ix) The registered holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including any Participants or Indirect Participants of the Depositary and Persons that may hold an interest in such Participants or Indirect Participants, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or any Note.

(x) Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, any Participant or Indirect Participant in the Depositary or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any Participant or Indirect Participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in Global Notes or with respect to the delivery to any Participant or Indirect Participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Global Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Global Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Company and the Trustee may rely conclusively and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, Participants, Indirect Participants and any beneficial owners. Nothing herein shall prevent the Company, any Agent or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and the Participants and Indirect Participants of the Depositary, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note. The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Global Note (including any transfers between or among Participants, Indirect Participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

Section 2.07 Replacement Notes.

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

47

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07, in case any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.

The provisions of this Section 2.07 shall be 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.

Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes.

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

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

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.

If the Paying Agent (other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) 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 will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.09 Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Notes that are to be acquired by the Company, a Guarantor or any other Person pursuant to an exchange offer, tender offer or other agreement shall not be deemed to be owned by such entity until legal title to such Notes passes to such entity.

Section 2.10 Temporary Notes.

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

48

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

Section 2.11 Cancellation.

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act). Certification of the disposition of all canceled Notes will 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 2.12 Defaulted Interest.

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it will 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 will 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 will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may 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) will mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.13 CUSIP or ISIN Numbers

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

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION

Section 3.01 Notices to Trustee.

If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it must furnish to the Trustee, at least 45 days (or shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee) before a redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth:

(i) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur;

(ii) the redemption date;

49

(iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed; and

(iv) the redemption price, if then accertainable.

and further certifying that all conditions provided for in this Indenture to such redemption have been complied with.

Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate (or, in the case of Notes issued in global form pursuant to Article 2 hereof, beneficial interests in such Notes may be selected for redemption by the applicable clearing system in accordance with their customary procedures).

In the event of partial redemption, the particular Notes to be redeemed will be selected, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption.

The Trustee will promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes selected for redemption will be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed; provided, further that portions of Notes may be selected for redemption in denominations equal to $1,000 or integral multiples thereof, except that the unredeemed portion of a Note shall be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.

At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company will 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, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 11 hereof; provided that notices of redemption shall be given to the Depositary in accordance with the procedures therefor.

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

(i) the redemption date;

(ii) the redemption price, or if not then ascertainable, the manner of calculation thereof;

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

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

50

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

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

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

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

At the Company’s request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. A notice of redemption mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not a Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note shall not affect the validity of the proceeding for the redemption of any other Note.

Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, 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.

Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption Price.

On or before 10:00 A.M., (New York City time) on each redemption date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price (including the accrued interest and Special Interest, if any, payable in connection with such redemption) for all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price (including the accrued interest and Special Interest, if any, payable in connection with such redemption) for all Notes to be redeemed.

If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If any Note called for redemption is not 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.

Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed in Part.

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of interest on, or in respect of, the Notes, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Special Interest to the extent that Special Interest would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement and express mention of the payment of Special Interest in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Special Interest in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

Section 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Company will maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

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

Section 4.05 Taxes.

The Company will pay, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all 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.

Section 4.06 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

The Company and each of the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

(d) If any Person in which an Investment is made, which Investment constitutes a Restricted Payment when made, thereafter becomes a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with this Indenture, all

58

such Investments previously made in such Person shall no longer be counted as Restricted Payments for purposes of calculating the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments pursuant to Section 4.07(a)(iii) hereof, in each case to the extent such Investments would otherwise be so counted.

Section 4.08 Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

Section 4.09 Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, incur any Indebtedness, other than Permitted Indebtedness; provided, however, that the Company, or any Guarantor

60

(or any Restricted Subsidiary which Guarantees the Notes at the time of such incurrence) may incur Indebtedness if on the date of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, after giving effect to the incurrence thereof and application of proceeds therefrom, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company would be equal to or greater than 2.0 to 1.0.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09:

(i) In the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness, or is permitted to be incurred pursuant to the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in this Section 4.09, the Company, in its sole discretion, will be permitted to classify and/or divide all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence or later reclassify and/or divide all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09; provided, however that all Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement which is in existence or available on the Issue Date, and any renewals, extensions, substitutions, refundings, refinancings or replacements thereof, will be deemed to have been incurred on such date under clause (2) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness,” and the Company will not be permitted to reclassify any portion of such Indebtedness thereafter.

(ii) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-dominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-dominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any premium or fees and expenses related thereto, of such Indebtedness being refinanced. The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company may incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies.

(iii) Guarantees or obligations with respect to letters of credit supporting Indebtedness otherwise included in the determination of the amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of Indebtedness.

(iv) Accrual of interest or dividends, accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Equity Interests or Preferred Stock, and the reclassification of Preferred Stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Equity Interests or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09.

61

Section 4.10 Limitation on Asset Sales.

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

(i) the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(ii) at least 75% of the consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from such Asset Sale is cash or Cash Equivalents, Replacement Assets or a combination thereof; provided that the amount of (A) any liabilities (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary, as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet, that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets, (B) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within 180 days of the time of such disposition, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received and (C) any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (C) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of $50.0 million and 3.0 % of the Company’s Total Assets, with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-Cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value, will each be deemed to be cash for the purposes of this clause (ii); provided that the 75% limitation referred to above will not apply to any sale, transfer or other disposition of assets in which the cash portion of the consideration received therefor is equal to or greater than what the after-tax net proceeds would have been had such transaction complied with the aforementioned 75% limitation.

(b) Within 365 days of the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Company may apply directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, or cause such Restricted Subsidiary to apply, an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale thereof either:

(i) to repay (A) Indebtedness that is secured by a Lien, including Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, (B) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor (provided that the assets disposed of in the applicable Asset Sale consisted of assets of such Restricted Subsidiary or any other Restricted Subsidiary that is not also a Guarantor) and (C) Pari Passu Indebtedness; provided however, that in the event any Pari Passu Indebtedness is repaid in satisfaction of this covenant, a Pro Rata Share (as defined below) of the Notes is substantially concurrently redeemed or repurchased (including pursuant to a tender offer or open market repurchases) with a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds at a price no less than 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon;

(ii) to reinvest in Replacement Assets;

(iii) to acquire assets constituting, or any Equity Interests of, a Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition, such assets are owned by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or the Person owning such Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;

(iv) to make a capital expenditure in or that is used or useful in a Permitted Business or to make expenditures for maintenance, repair or improvement of existing properties and assets in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; or

62

(v) a combination of prepayment, investment, acquisition or expenditure permitted by the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv);

provided that, if during such 365 day period the Company or Restricted Subsidiary enters into a definitive written agreement committing it to apply such Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with the requirements of clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, such 365 day period shall be extended with respect to the amount of Net Cash Proceeds so committed until the later of the date required to be paid in accordance with such agreement and 180 days. Pending the final application of any Net Cash Proceeds pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Cash Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

On the later of the 366th day after an Asset Sale and the first day after the date on which the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary agreed to apply such Net Cash Proceeds pursuant to a definitive written agreement contemplated by the proviso to the preceding paragraph; provided that such date may be earlier, as the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may determine (the “Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date”), the aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds that have not been applied on or before such Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as permitted in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of the preceding paragraph (each, a “Net Proceeds Offer Amount”) will be applied by the Company to make an offer to repurchase (the “Net Proceeds Offer”) on a date (the “Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date”) not less than 30 nor more than 60 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, from all Holders on a pro rata basis that amount of Notes equal to the Net Proceeds Offer Amount multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding and the denominator of which is the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness then outstanding (the “Pro Rata Share”), at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Net Proceeds Offer Amount is less than $50.0 million, the application of the Net Cash Proceeds constituting such Net Proceeds Offer Amount to a Net Proceeds Offer may be deferred until such time as such Net Proceeds Offer Amount plus the aggregate amount of all Net Proceeds Offer Amounts arising subsequent to the Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date relating to such initial Net Proceeds Offer Amount from all Asset Sales by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries aggregates at least $50.0 million, at which time the Company will apply all Net Cash Proceeds constituting all Net Proceeds Offer Amounts that have been so deferred to make a Net Proceeds Offer, the first date the aggregate of all such deferred Net Proceeds Offer Amounts is at least $50.0 million being deemed to be a Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date. To the extent that the aggregate purchase price of Notes tendered pursuant to any Net Proceeds Offer is less than the Pro Rata Share, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may use such amount for any purpose not prohibited by this Indenture. Upon completion of any Net Proceeds Offer, the Net Proceeds Offer Amount shall be reset to zero.

Notice of a Net Proceeds Offer will be mailed to the Holders as shown on the register of Holders, not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before the payment date for the Net Proceeds Offer, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice will state:

(i) that the Net Proceeds Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.10 and the length of time the Net Proceeds Offer will remain open;

(ii) the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date, the Pro Rata Share amount and the purchase price;

(iii) that any Note not accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest;

63

(iv) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date;

(v) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes (or the substantial equivalent thereof contained in a letter of transmittal) completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date;

(vi) 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 Net Proceeds Offer 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 his election to have the Notes purchased;

(vii) that to the extent Holders validly tender Notes in an amount that exceeds the Pro Rata Share, Notes of tendering Holders will be repurchased on a pro rata basis based on amounts tendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000, or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be repurchased); provided, that, in the case of Notes issued in global form, beneficial interests in such Notes shall be repurchased on a pro rata basis based on amounts tendered only if such proration is consistent with the procedures of the applicable clearing system; otherwise, such beneficial interests shall be selected for repurchase in accordance with such procedures; and

(viii) 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 of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided, that the unpurchased portion of a Note shall be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000.

Upon receiving notice of the Net Proceeds Offer, Holders may elect to tender their Notes in whole or in part (in integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount; provided, that the unpurchased portion of any Note may not be less than $2,000).

On the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

(i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer; provided that to the extent Holders validly tender Notes in an amount exceeding the Pro Rata Share, Notes of tendering Holders will be selected for repurchase on a pro rata basis based on the amount tendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000, or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be repurchased); provided, further that, in the case of Notes issued in global form, beneficial interests in such Notes shall be repurchased on a pro rata basis based on amounts tendered only if such proration is consistent with the procedures of the applicable clearing system; otherwise, such beneficial interests shall be selected for repurchase in accordance with such procedures;

64

(ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price to be paid in such Net Proceeds Offer in respect of Notes or portions of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn and accepted by the Company for purchase; and

(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes validly accepted for payment together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.

The Paying Agent will promptly mail (but in any case not later than five days after the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date) to each Holder of Notes accepted for payment the applicable payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Net Proceeds Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.10, the Company will not be required to make any required Net Proceeds Offer if (1) a third party makes the Net Proceeds Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.10 and purchases all Notes required to be purchased in connection with the Net Proceeds Offer pursuant to this Section 4.10, or (2) notice of redemption has been given to the Holders pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.

If an offer is made to repurchase the Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer, the Company will and will cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with all tender offer rules under state and federal securities laws, including, but not limited to, Section 14(e) under the Exchange Act and Rule 14e 1 thereunder, to the extent applicable to such offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.10, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.10 by virtue thereof.

Section 4.11 Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or Guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company in any transaction or series of related transactions (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $10.0 million unless:

(i) such Affiliate Transaction, as determined by the Company in good faith, is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company or its relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis;

(ii) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate with respect to such Affiliate Transaction stating that the Company has approved such Affiliate Transaction and stating that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) above; and

(iii) for any transaction or series of related transactions with an aggregate value of $20.0 million or more, such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the board of directors of the Company, if any.

65

(b) The following items will be deemed not to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.11(a) hereof:

(i) payment of reasonable fees and compensation paid to, or loans made to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, former, current or future officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company or any Subsidiary (including any employment agreements, employee benefit plans or indemnification agreements entered into with such Persons) as determined, in good faith, by the Company;

(ii) any transaction between the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or between Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company;

(iii) any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date or any amendment thereto or any transaction contemplated thereby (including pursuant to any amendment thereto) or in any replacement agreement thereto so long as any such amendment or replacement agreement is, as determined by the Company, not more materially disadvantageous to the Holders when taken as a whole than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date;

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

(v) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture which are, in the determination of the Company, fair to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party;

(vi) commercially reasonable transactions between the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary and any joint venture or any Unrestricted Subsidiary and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture which are, in the determination of the Company at the time of entry into such transactions, fair to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party;

(vii) the issuance or sale of any Equity Interests of the Company;

(viii) transactions as to which the Company delivers to the Trustee a written opinion of a nationally recognized investment banking, accounting, consulting or appraisal firm to the effect that the transaction is fair, from a financial point of view or otherwise, to the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary that is a party thereto, as the case may be;

(ix) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) that is an Affiliate of the Company solely because the Company owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, Capital Stock in, or controls, such Person;

(x) any contribution of capital to the Company; and

(xi) sales or other dispositions of accounts receivable and related assets and interests therein of the type specified in the definition of “Qualified Receivables Transaction” to a Receivable Subsidiary in a Qualified Receivables Transaction and Permitted Investments and other transactions in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction and any other Standard Securitization Undertakings in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction.

Section 4.12 Limitation on Liens.

(a) Except for Permitted Liens, the Company will not, and will not permit:

(i) the Company or any of the Guarantors, directly or indirectly, to create, incur or assume any Lien securing Indebtedness on their properties or assets; or

(ii) any of its non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to create, incur or assume any Debt Securities Lien on their properties or assets;

in each case upon any property or asset now owned or hereafter acquired by them, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to creating, incurring or assuming Permitted Liens on their properties or assets:

(i) the Company and any of the Guarantors may create, incur or assume any Lien securing Indebtedness on any of their properties or assets (including, but not limited to, any Capital Stock of its Subsidiaries); and

(ii) any of the Company’s non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries may create, incur or assume Debt Securities Liens on any of its properties or assets (including, but not limited to, any Capital Stock of its Subsidiaries);

in each case, if the Notes are secured equally and ratably with (or, if the Indebtedness to be secured by the Lien is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, prior to) the Indebtedness so secured, as the case may be, for so long as such obligations are so secured.

Any Lien granted pursuant to clause (b) above shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged in all respects upon (i) the release and discharge of the other Lien to which it relates (except a release and discharge upon payment of the obligation secured by such Lien during the pendency of any Default or Event of Default under this Indenture, in which case such Liens shall only be discharged and released upon payment of the Notes or cessation of such Default or Event of Default), (ii) in the case of any such Lien in favor of any Notes Guarantee, upon the termination and discharge of such Notes Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or (iii) any sale, exchange or transfer (other than a transfer constituting a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company that is governed by the provisions of Section 5.01 hereof) in compliance with this Indenture to any Person (not an Affiliate of the Company) of the property or assets secured by such initial Lien, or of all of the Capital Stock held by the Company, any Guarantor or any non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in, or all or substantially all the assets of, any Guarantor or any non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, creating such initial Lien

Section 4.13 Corporate Existence.

Except for transactions permitted by Article 5 hereof and the consequences of such transactions, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect:

(a) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary; and

67

(b) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

Section 4.14 Change of Control.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder will have the right to require that the Company repurchase all or a portion (in integral multiples of $1,000) of such Holder’s Notes, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”); provided, that the unpurchased portion of any Note may not be less than $2,000.

(b) Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control occurred, the Company will send, by first class mail, a notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, offering to purchase the Notes as described above (the “Change of Control Offer”). The notice will state:

(i) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.14 and that all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn will be accepted for payment;

(ii) the payment date, which must be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(iii) that any Note not accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest;

(iv) 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 will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;

(v) 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” attached to the Notes (or the substantial equivalent thereof contained in a letter of transmittal) completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, 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;

(vi) 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 his election to have the Notes purchased; and

(vii) 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 $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(c) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

(i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

68

(ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn; and

(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted for payment together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.

The Paying Agent will promptly mail (but in any case not later than five days after the Change of Control Payment Date) to each Holder of Notes accepted for payment the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.14, the Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) 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 4.14 and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

(f) 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 those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change in Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.14, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.14 by virtue of such compliance.

Section 4.15 Subsidiary Guarantees.

(a) After the Issue Date, the Company will cause each of its Domestic Subsidiaries (other than (x) any Domestic Subsidiary that is prohibited by law from guaranteeing the Notes or that would experience adverse regulatory consequences as a result of providing a Guarantee of the Notes (so long as, in the case of this clause (x), such Domestic Subsidiary has not provided a Guarantee of any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor), (y) any Receivable Subsidiary and (z) any Immaterial Subsidiary) to Guarantee the Notes by executing and delivering a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, providing a Guarantee of payment of the Notes by such Domestic Subsidiary, in substantially the form attached as Exhibit F hereto.

(b) Additionally, the Company will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Guarantor) to Guarantee any Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor unless, in any such case:

(i) such Restricted Subsidiary executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, providing a Guarantee of payment of the Notes by such Restricted Subsidiary in substantially the form attached as Exhibit F hereto; and

69

(ii) if such Guarantee is provided in respect of Indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Notes, the Guarantee or other instrument provided by such Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such subordinated Indebtedness is similarly subordinated to the Notes Guarantee;

provided that this paragraph shall not be applicable to any Guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary (i) that (x) existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and (y) was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, or (ii) of any Indebtedness (or obligations in respect of such Indebtedness) permitted to be incurred pursuant to clauses (2), (3), (4), (8), (9), (11) (subject to the proviso contained therein), (16), (18) and (20) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness”.

(c) Each Notes Guarantee by a Restricted Subsidiary will be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by that Restricted Subsidiary without rendering the Notes Guarantee, as it relates to such Restricted Subsidiary, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

(d) Any Notes Guarantee by a Restricted Subsidiary will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, upon:

(i) the release of such Restricted Subsidiary from its liability in respect of the Indebtedness in connection with which such Notes Guarantee was executed and delivered pursuant to Section 4.15(b) (except a release by or as a result of payment under such Indebtedness);

(ii) any sale or other disposition (by merger or otherwise) to any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company, of the Company’s Capital Stock in such Restricted Subsidiary such that, after giving effect to any such sale or disposition, such Person is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that:

(A) such sale or disposition of such Capital Stock is otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture; and

(B) the Company is deemed to have made an Investment on the date of any such sale or disposition equal to the Fair Market Value of the Capital Stock of such entity not sold or disposed plus the Fair Market Value of any guarantee by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of such entity;

(iii) any sale or other disposition (by merger or otherwise) to any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company, of all of the Company’s Capital Stock in, or all or substantially all of the assets of, such Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that:

(A) such sale or disposition of such Capital Stock or assets is otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture; and

70

(B) such Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary has been released by the holders of the other Indebtedness so guaranteed;

(iv) the designation of such Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the terms of this Indenture; or

(v) the exercise by the Company of Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance in accordance with Article 8 hereof or the satisfaction and discharge of the Company’s obligations in accordance with Article 11 hereof.

Section 4.16 Limitation on Creation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(a) The Company may designate any Subsidiary of the Company to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary as provided below, in which event such Subsidiary and each other Person that is a Subsidiary of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

(b) The Company may designate any Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary unless such Subsidiary owns any Equity Interests of, or owns or holds any Lien on any property of, any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, provided that either:

(i) the Subsidiary to be so designated has total assets of $1,000 or less; or

(ii) immediately after giving effect to such designation, the Company could make a Restricted Payment to or a Permitted Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary in an amount equal to the greater of the Fair Market Value or book value of such Subsidiary pursuant to Section 4.07 hereof and such amount is thereafter treated as a Restricted Payment or a Permitted Investment, as applicable, for the purpose of calculating the amount available for additional Restricted Payments or Permitted Investments, as applicable, thereunder.

(c) An Unrestricted Subsidiary may be designated as a Restricted Subsidiary if (i) all the Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary could be Incurred under Section 4.09 hereof and (ii) all the Liens on the property and assets of such Unrestricted Subsidiary could be incurred pursuant to Section 4.12 hereof.

Section 4.17 Suspension of Certain Covenants When Notes Rated Investment Grade

During any period of time that (i) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from at least two Rating Agencies and (ii) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”),

(a) the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the following provisions (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”) of this Indenture:

(i) Section 4.07

(ii) Section 4.08

(iii) Section 4.09

(iv) Section 4.10

71

(v) Section 4.11; and

(vi) Sections 4.15(a) and (b);

(b) Section 4.12 of this Indenture shall be replaced in its entirety with:

“The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, Incur or permit to exist any Lien (the “Initial Lien”) on any Restricted Property securing any Indebtedness, other than Permitted Liens, without effectively providing that the Notes shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) the obligations so secured for so long as such obligations are so secured. Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to the preceding sentence shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Initial Lien.

Notwithstanding the restrictions described above, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may, directly or indirectly, Incur or permit to exist any Lien that would otherwise be subject to the restrictions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph without effectively providing that the Notes shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) the obligations so secured if, at the time of such Incurrence or permission, after giving effect thereto and to the retirement of any secured Indebtedness which is concurrently being retired, the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (determined without duplication) secured by Liens on Restricted Property (other than Permitted Liens (other than Permitted Liens incurred pursuant to clause (2) of the definition thereof)) plus all Attributable Debt of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of Sale and Leaseback Transactions with respect to any Restricted Property, does not exceed the greater of (a) the amount permitted under clause (2) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” and (b) 15% of the Company’s Total Assets.

“Restricted Property” means (a) any manufacturing facility (or portion thereof) owned or leased by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and located within the continental United States that, in the good faith opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors, is of material importance to the Company’s business taken as a whole, but no such manufacturing facility (or portion thereof) shall be deemed of material importance if its gross book value of property, plant and equipment (before deducting accumulated depreciation) is less than 3% of the Company’s Total Assets measured as of the end of the most recent quarter for which financial statements are available; or (b) any Capital Stock of any Subsidiary of the Company owning a manufacturing facility (or a portion thereof) covered by clause (a). As used in this definition, “manufacturing facility” means property, plant and equipment used for actual manufacturing and for activities directly related to manufacturing such as quality assurance, engineering, maintenance, staging areas for work in process administration, employees, eating and comfort facilities and manufacturing administration, and it excludes sales offices, research facilities and facilities used only for warehousing, distribution or general administration.”; and

(c) the definition of “Permitted Liens” shall be replaced in its entirety with the following definition:

“Permitted Liens” means:

(1) Liens existing on the Suspension Date (other than Liens to secure Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement);

(2) Liens securing Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under clause (2) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness”;

72

(3) Liens on property of any entity (including shares of stock owned by such entity) which becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company after the date on which the Notes are originally issued; provided that such Liens are in existence at the time such entity becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and were not created in anticipation thereof and do not extend to any other property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary;

(4) Liens upon property, including software and license rights with respect to software, acquired after the date on which the Notes are originally issued (by purchase, construction or otherwise) by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, any of which Liens either (A) existed on such property before the time of its acquisition and was not created in anticipation thereof, or (B) was created solely for the purpose of securing Indebtedness representing, or incurred to finance, refinance or refund, the cost (including the cost of construction) of such property; provided that no such Lien shall extend to or cover any property of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary other than the property so acquired and improvements thereon; and provided, further, that the principal amount of Indebtedness secured by any such Lien shall not exceed (at the time of incurrence) 100% of the fair market value (as determined in good faith by a senior financial officer of the Company) of such property at the time it was acquired (by purchase, construction or otherwise);

(5) Liens in favor of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary;

(6) Liens incurred with respect to any environmental remediation program;

(7) any extension, renewal or replacement (which replacement can occur after termination of the relevant agreement) of the foregoing; provided, however, that the Liens permitted hereunder shall not be spread to cover any additional Indebtedness or property (other than a substitution of like property); and

(8) Liens to secure Capitalized Lease Obligations and Purchase Money Debt permitted to be incurred pursuant to clause (8) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness”; provided that such Liens do not extend to any property or assets other than the property or assets acquired pursuant to such Capitalized Lease Obligations or with the proceeds of such Purchase Money Debt or property affixed or appurtenant thereto and any proceeds thereof.

Upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event (the “Suspension Date”), the amount of Net Cash Proceeds that have not been invested or applied as provided under Section 4.10 hereof shall be set at zero as of such date. In the event that, on any date subsequent to any Suspension Date (the “Reversion Date”), the Notes do not have an Investment Grade Rating from at least one Rating Agency, or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to in this description as the “Suspension Period.” Notwithstanding the reinstatement of the Suspended Covenants, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period (or upon termination of the Suspension Period or after that time based solely on events that occurred during the Suspension Period).

Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 hereof will be made as though Section 4.07 hereof had been in effect since

73

the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period that would not otherwise have been permitted pursuant to clauses (ii)(A), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (viii), (x), (xi) and (xii) of Section 4.07(b) hereof will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a). On the Reversion Date all Indebtedness Incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified as having been Incurred under clause (3) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness,” except for Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” (which Indebtedness shall be classified as having been Incurred under clauses (1) or (2) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness,” respectively).

There can be no assurance that the Notes will achieve or maintain an Investment Grade Rating.

For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any action taken by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in compliance with this Indenture during a Suspension Period, or taken after such Suspension Period pursuant to the requirements of any contract or binding commitment entered into in good faith during such Suspension Period, constitute a breach of any covenant contained in this Indenture.

ARTICLE 5

Section 6.02 Acceleration.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(vi) or 6.01(vii) hereof with respect to the Company) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes may declare the principal of and accrued interest on all the Notes to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Company and (if given by the Holders) to the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration.” Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(vi) or 6.01(vii) hereof with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, then such amount shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of Notes.

At any time after a declaration of acceleration or automatic acceleration with respect to the Notes as described in the preceding paragraph, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may rescind and cancel such declaration or automatic acceleration and its consequences:

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

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

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

(d) if the Company has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances; and

(e) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in Sections 6.01(vi) and 6.01(vii) hereof, the Trustee has received an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies.

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

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

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may waive any existing Default or Event of Default (including in connection with an offer to purchase the Notes), and its consequences,

77

except a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Notes. Upon any such waiver, such Default or Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any Default or Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture.

Section 6.05 Control by Majority.

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

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

No Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

(i) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

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

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

(iv) the Trustee does not comply with such request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

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

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

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 of, premium, if any, on, or interest or Special Interest, if any, on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Notes (including in connection with Notes accepted for payment pursuant to an offer to purchase made pursuant to Section 4.10 or 4.14 hereof), 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) hereof 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, on, and interest and Special Interest, if any, remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest 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 and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.

78

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 all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (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 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.

Section 6.10 Priorities.

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First: to the Trustee, its agents and counsel for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses 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, and interest and Special Interest, 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, and interest and Special Interest, if any, respectively; and

Third: to the Company or to such other party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

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

79

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 6.11 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 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

81

Neither the Company nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof.

ARTICLE 8

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The Company may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and each Guarantor will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which will 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 clauses (i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees 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 will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(i) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium and Special Interest, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;

(ii) the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary notes, registration, transfer and exchange of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment of the Notes and provisions that money for security payments are to be held in trust;

(iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith; and

(iv) this Article 8.

Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.

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 and each Guarantor will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03 and 4.04 hereof (to the extent such covenants are not expressly required by the TIA) and Sections 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15, 4.16 and 4.17 hereof with respect to the

85

outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will 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 will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Company may omit to comply with and will 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 will 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 and Note Guarantees will 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, Sections 6.01(iii) (to the extent relating to the covenants that are subject to the Covenant Defeasance), (iv), (v) and (viii) hereof will not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof:

(i) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars sufficient, non-callable Government Securities, the scheduled payments of principal and interest on which will be sufficient, or a combination thereof sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, in the written opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants delivered to the Trustee (which opinion need only be given if Government Securities have been so deposited), to pay the principal of, or interest and premium, if any, on the outstanding Notes to the Stated Maturity or to the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;

(ii) in the case of an election under Section 8.01 hereof applicable to Section 8.02 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an opinion of U.S. tax counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that:

(A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or

(B) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law,

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

(iii) in the case of an election under Section 8.01 hereof applicable to Section 8.03 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an opinion of U.S. tax counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize

86

income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(iv) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound (other than this Indenture and any agreements or instruments governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced, in each case, resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and any similar deposit relating to other Indebtedness and any grant of any Lien to secure such borrowing);

(v) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Company or others;

(vi) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each to the effect that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied; and

(vii) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of Title 11 of the United States Code.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by clause (ii) above with respect to a Legal Defeasance need not be delivered if all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (x) have become due and payable, or (y) will become due and payable within one (1) year by reason of the giving of a notice of redemption or otherwise or are to be called for redemption within one (1) year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company.

In the event of Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, the Note Guarantees in effect at such time shall automatically terminate.

Section 8.05 Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will 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, if any, and interest and Special Interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities 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.

87

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities 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(i) hereof (which opinion need only be given if Government Securities have been deposited under Section 8.04)), 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 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, on, or interest or Special Interest, if any, on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest or Special Interest, if any, has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to 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, will 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 will not be less than 30 days nor more than 60 after the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

Section 8.07 Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.05 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 and the Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.05 hereof; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, on, or interest or Special Interest, if any, on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will 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; provided further that neither the failure of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to have complied with such revived and reinstated obligations during the period (for purposes of this Section 8.07, the “Suspension Period”) subsequent to such deposit pursuant to Section 8.04 and prior to such reinstatement and revival, nor compliance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with any contractual obligation entered into in compliance with this Indenture during the Suspension Period, will constitute a Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind under this Indenture, the Notes or any Note Guarantees.

88

ARTICLE 9

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Company, the Guarantors, if any, and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees, if any:

(i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency;

(ii) to comply with Section 5.01 hereof;

(iii) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s or any Guarantor’s obligations to the extent otherwise permitted under this Indenture;

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

(v) to add covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company or any Guarantor;

(vi) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

(vii) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under this Indenture of a successor trustee thereunder pursuant to the requirements thereof;

(viii) to add a Guarantor or a corporate co-issuer under this Indenture;

(ix) to conform the text of this Indenture or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Offering Circular, to the extent that the Trustee has received an Officers’ Certificate from the Company stating that such text constitutes an unintended conflict with the description of the corresponding provision in the “Description of Notes” section of the Offering Circular;

(x) to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the restrictions on the transfer and legending of Notes, including, without limitation, to facilitate the issuance, transfer and exchange of the Notes; or

(xi) to mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or grant any other Lien in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, as security for the payment and performance of all or any portion of the Notes, in any property or assets.

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amendment or supplement, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Sections 7.02, 9.06, 12.04 and 12.05 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company and the Guarantors, if any, in the execution of any amendment or supplement 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 will not be obligated to enter into such amendment or supplement that adversely affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amendment or supplement.

89

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes.

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Sections 4.10 and 4.14 hereof), the Notes or the Note Guarantees, if any, with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, on, or interest or Special Interest, if any, on, the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes).

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amendment or supplement, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Sections 7.02, 9.06, 12.04 and 12.05 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such amendment or supplement unless such amendment or supplement adversely affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amendment or supplement.

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

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company will 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, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment or supplement or waiver. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

(i) reduce the amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(ii) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest, including defaulted interest, on any Notes;

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

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

(v) at any time after a Change of Control has occurred or the requirement to make a Net Proceeds Offer has occurred, amend, change or modify the obligation of the Company to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer in relation to such Change of Control in accordance with Section 4.14 hereof, or such Net Proceeds Offer in accordance with Section 4.10 hereof, as the case may be, including amending, changing or modifying any definition relating thereto;

90

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

(vii) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under their Notes Guarantees or this Indenture other than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes will be set forth in an 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, except to the extent that the consent is by its express terms irrevocable, 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 amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

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

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

Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee will sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors of the Company approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.04 hereof, 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 10

NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 10.01 Guarantee.

(a) Subject to this Article 10, each party to become a Guarantor hereby, will jointly and severally, unconditionally Guarantee 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, on, and interest and Special Interest, 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, premium, if any, on, and interest and Special Interest, if any, on, the Notes, if lawful, 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 performance 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 will be jointly and severally obligated to pay or perform or cause the payment or performance of the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a Guarantee of payment and not a Guarantee of collection.

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are 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. 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 Note Guarantee will 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 Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will 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, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and

92

payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors will 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 Note Guarantee.

Section 10.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note 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 Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that 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 Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 10.03 Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.

To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto will be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.

If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

In the event that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries creates or acquires any Domestic Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, if required by Section 4.15 hereof, the Company will cause such Domestic Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.15 hereof and this Article 10, to the extent applicable.

Section 10.04 Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05 hereof, no Guarantor may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee is automatically and unconditionally released pursuant to Section 4.15(d) in connection with such sale or disposition or:

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

93

(ii) either:

(A) subject to Section 10.05 hereof, the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger unconditionally assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under its Note Guarantee on the terms set forth herein pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; or

(B) the Net Cash Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation, Section 4.10 hereof.

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or other disposition and upon such assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the 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 Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the predecessor Guarantor and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and notwithstanding clauses (ii)(A) and (B) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes will prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

ARTICLE 11

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 11.01 Satisfaction and Discharge.

This Indenture will be satisfied and discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when:

(i) either:

(A) all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(B) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, have become due and payable or will become due and payable within one year by reason of the giving of a notice of redemption or otherwise or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving

94

of notice of redemption in the name, and at the expense of the Company and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars sufficient, non-callable Government Securities, the scheduled payments of principal of and interest on which will be sufficient, or a combination thereof, sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, in the written opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants delivered to the Trustee (which opinion need only be given if Government Securities have been so deposited), to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Notes for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

(ii) in respect of subclause (B) of clause (i) of this Section 11.01, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and any similar deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound (other than with respect to the borrowing of funds to be applied concurrently to make the deposit required to effect such satisfaction and discharge and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and in each case the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings);

(iii) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and

(iv) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes as they become due on and prior to maturity or on and prior to the redemption date, as the case may be.

In addition, the Company must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee to the effect that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (i) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Sections 11.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive. In addition, the provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Section 11.02 Application of Trust Money; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and interest and Special Interest, if any, for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be

95

revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, on, or interest or Special Interest, if any, on, any Notes because of 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 or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent; provided further that neither the failure of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to have complied with such revived and reinstated obligations during the period (for purposes of this Section 11.02, the “Suspension Period”) subsequent to such deposit pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof and prior to such reinstatement and revival, nor compliance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with any contractual obligation entered into in compliance with this Indenture during the Suspension Period, will constitute a Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind under this Indenture, the Notes or any Note Guarantees.

The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 11.01 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.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 11 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 11.01 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 11.01 hereof (which opinion need only be given if Government Securities have been deposited under Section 11.01)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Attention: Corporate Trust Administration

The Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee, by notice to the others, may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.

The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by e-mail, telecopier or other similar electronic methods; provided, however, that (a) the party providing such electronic instructions or directions, subsequent to the transmission thereof, shall, if requested by the Trustee, provide originally executed instructions or directions to the Trustee in a timely manner and (b) such originally executed instructions or directions shall be signed by an authorized representative of the party providing such instructions or directions. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions or directions notwithstanding such instructions or directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction or direction or if the subsequent written instruction or direction is never received. The party providing instructions or directions by e-mail, telecopier or other similar electronic methods, as aforesaid, agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

All notices and communications (other than those sent to Holders) will be deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when receipt acknowledged, if transmitted by email, telecopier or other similar electronic methods; and the next Business Day after timely delivery to the courier, if sent by overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery.

Any notice or communication to a Holder will be mailed by first class mail, or by overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery to its address shown on the register kept by the Registrar; provided that notices to the Depositary shall be given in accordance with its procedures therefor. Any notice or communication will also be so mailed to any Person described in TIA §313(c), to the extent required by the TIA. Failure to mail a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it will not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders.

In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be

97

waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

If a notice or communication is mailed in the manner provided above within the time prescribed, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it.

If the Company mails a notice or communication to Holders, it will mail a copy to the Trustee and each Agent at the same time.

Section 12.03 Communication by Holders of Notes with Other Holders of Notes.

Any Holder may communicate pursuant to TIA §312(b) with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Notes. The Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and anyone else shall have the protection of TIA §312(c).

(ii) an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (which must include the statements set forth in Section 12.05 hereof) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent and covenants have been satisfied.

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.

Section 12.08 Governing Law.

THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES 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.

Section 12.14 Acts of Holders.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one (1) or more instruments (including instruments in facsimile, digital or other electronic form) of substantially similar tenor signed (including signatures in facsimile, digital or other electronic form) by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing (including signatures in facsimile, digital or other electronic form); and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section 12.14.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to such officer the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than such signer’s individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of such signer’s authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

(c) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note register maintained under Section 2.03 hereunder.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

(e) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of outstanding Notes have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the outstanding Notes shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective (pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, to the extent applicable) not later than six (6) months after the record date.

The Company agrees (x) to include in the Exchange Registration Statement a prospectus for use in any resales by any holder of Exchange Securities that is a broker-dealer or is otherwise subject to prospectus delivery requirements and (y) to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Exchange Registration Statement effective for a period (the “Resale Period”) beginning when Exchange Securities are first issued in the Exchange Offer and ending upon

4

the earlier of the expiration of the 90^th day after the Exchange Offer has been completed or such time as such broker-dealers no longer own any Registrable Securities. With respect to such Exchange Registration Statement, such holders shall have the benefit of the rights of indemnification and contribution set forth in Subsections 6(a), (c), (d) and (e) hereof.

(b) If (i) on or prior to the time the Exchange Offer is completed existing law or Commission interpretations are changed such that the debt securities received by holders other than Restricted Holders in the Exchange Offer for Registrable Securities are not or would not be, upon receipt, transferable by each such holder without restriction under the Securities Act, (ii) the Effective Time of the Exchange Registration Statement is not within 180 days following the Closing Date and the Exchange Offer has not been completed within 270 days of such Effective Time or (iii) any holder of Registrable Securities notifies the Company prior to the 20^th Business Day following the completion of the Exchange Offer that: (A) it is prohibited by law or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange Offer, (B) it may not resell the Exchange Securities to the public without delivering a prospectus and the prospectus supplement contained in the Exchange Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such resales or (C) it is a broker-dealer and owns Securities acquired directly from the Company or an affiliate of the Company, then the Company shall, in lieu of (or, in the case of clause (iii), in addition to) conducting the Exchange Offer contemplated by Section 2(a), use commercially reasonably efforts to file under the Securities Act as soon as practicable, but no later than 60 days after the date of such notice (and no earlier than the time at which the Company is obligated to file an Exchange Registration Statement), a “shelf” registration statement providing for the registration of, and the sale on a continuous or delayed basis by the holders of, all of the Registrable Securities, pursuant to Rule 415 or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission (such filing, the “Shelf Registration” and such registration statement, the “Shelf Registration Statement”). The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to become or be declared effective as promptly as practicable, but in any event no later than 180 days after the date of the notice of such Shelf Registration Statement filing obligation (but no earlier than 210 days after the Closing Date); provided, that if at any time the Company is or becomes a “well-known seasoned issuer” (as defined in Rule 405) and is eligible to file an “automatic shelf registration statement” (as defined in Rule 405), then the Company shall file the Shelf Registration Statement in the form of an automatic shelf registration statement as provided in Rule 405. The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective for a period ending on the earlier of the second anniversary of the Effective Time or such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities outstanding; provided however, that the Company not be obligated to keep such Shelf Registration Statement effective for a period of more than 180 days from the date the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective if the Shelf Registration Statement is required to be filed solely to permit resale by a participating broker-dealer that holds the initial notes or Exchange Securities acquired directly from the company or one of its affiliates. No holder shall be entitled to be named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement or to use the prospectus forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities unless such holder is an Electing Holder. The Company agrees after the Effective Time of the Shelf Registration Statement and promptly upon the written request of any holder of Registrable Securities that is not then an Electing Holder, to use commercially reasonable efforts to enable such holder to use the prospectus forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, any action necessary to identify such holder as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement (whether by post-effective amendment thereto or by filing a prospectus pursuant to Rules 430B and 424(b) under the Securities Act identifying such holder), provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall relieve any such holder of the

5

obligation to return a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire to the Company in accordance with Section 3(d)(iii) hereof; provided further that each holder shall promptly furnish additional information required to be disclosed in order to make any information previously furnished to the Company by such holder not misleading. The Company further agrees to supplement or make amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement, as and when required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or rules and regulations thereunder for shelf registration, and the Company agrees to furnish to each Electing Holder copies of any such supplement or amendment prior to its being used or promptly following its filing with the Commission.

(c) In the event that (i) the Company has not filed the Exchange Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement on or before the date on which such registration statement is required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b), respectively, or (ii) such Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement has not become effective or been declared effective by the Commission on or before the date on which such registration statement is required to become or be declared effective pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b), respectively, or (iii) the Exchange Offer has not been completed within 60 days after the Effective Time of the Exchange Registration Statement relating to the Exchange Offer (if the Exchange Offer is then required to be made), or (iv) any Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement required by Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) hereof is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter either be withdrawn by the Company or shall become subject to an effective stop order issued pursuant to Section 8(d) of the Securities Act suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement (except as specifically permitted herein) without being succeeded immediately by an additional registration statement filed and declared effective (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a “Registration Default” and each period during which a Registration Default has occurred and is continuing, a “Registration Default Period”), then, as liquidated damages for such Registration Default, subject to the provisions of Section 9(b), special interest (“Special Interest”), in addition to the Base Interest, shall accrue on all Registrable Securities then outstanding at a per annum rate of 0.25% for the first 90 days of the Registration Default Period and at a per annum rate of 0.50% for the balance of the Registration Default Period.

(d) The Company shall take all actions necessary or advisable to be taken by it or them to ensure that the transactions contemplated herein are effected as so contemplated.

(e) Any reference herein to a registration statement or prospectus as of any time shall be deemed to include any document incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, therein by reference as of such time; and any reference herein to any post-effective amendment to a registration statement or to any prospectus supplement as of any time shall be deemed to include any document incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, therein by reference as of such time.

6. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each of the holders of Registrable Securities included in an Exchange Registration Statement, and each of the Electing Holders as holders of Registrable Securities included in a Shelf Registration Statement, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such holder may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Exchange Registration Statement or any Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, under which such Registrable Securities or Exchange Securities were registered under the Securities Act, or any preliminary, final or summary prospectus (including, without limitation, any “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433) contained therein or furnished by the Company to any such holder, any such Electing Holder, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each such holder, and each such Electing Holder, as the case may be, for any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any such person in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, or preliminary, final or summary prospectus (including, without limitation, any “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433), or amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such person expressly for use therein.

(b) Indemnification by the Electing Holders. The Company may require, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, that the Company shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from each Electing Holder of such Registrable Securities included in such Shelf Registration Statement, severally and not jointly, to (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Company and all other Electing Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Shelf Registration Statement, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the

16

Company or such other Electing Holders of Registrable Securities may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, or any preliminary, final or summary prospectus (including, without limitation, any “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433) contained therein or furnished by the Company to any Electing Holder, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein 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 reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Electing Holder expressly for use therein, and (ii) reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that no such Electing Holder shall be required to undertake liability to any person under this Section 6(b) for any amounts in excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds to be received by such Electing Holder from the sale of such Electing Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration.

(c) Notices of Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of written notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party pursuant to the indemnification provisions of or contemplated by this Section 6, notify such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such action; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under the indemnification provisions of or contemplated by Section 6(a) or Section 6(b) hereof. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, such indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary or (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. The indemnifying party shall not be required to indemnify the indemnified party for any amount paid or payable by the indemnified party in the settlement or compromise of, or entry into any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder, without the written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

17

(d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provisions contemplated by Section 6(a) or Section 6(b) are unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or by such indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 6(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 this Section 6(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d), no Electing Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such holder from the sale of any Registrable Securities (after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable thereto) exceeds 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 Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The holders’ obligations in this Section 6(d) to contribute shall be several in proportion to the principal amount of Registrable Securities registered by them and not joint.

(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer, director and partner of each holder, each Electing Holder, and each person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of the Securities Act; and the obligations of the holders and the Electing Holders contemplated by this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective holder or Electing Holder may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company (including any person who, with his consent, is named in any registration statement as about to become a director of the Company) and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, as well as to each officer and director of the other holders and to each person, if any, who controls such other holders within the meaning of the Securities Act.

18

7. Underwritten Offerings.

Each holder of Registrable Securities hereby agrees with the Company and each other such holder that the Company shall have no obligation to provide for or arrange any underwritten offering hereunder, and no holder of Registrable Securities shall have any right to require or participate in any underwritten offering hereunder unless (a) the Company gives its prior written consent to such underwritten offering (which consent may be granted or withheld by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion), (b) the managing underwriter or underwriters thereof shall be designated by Electing Holders holding at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities to be included in such offering, provided that such designated managing underwriter or underwriters is or are reasonably acceptable to the Company, (c) each holder of Registrable Securities participating in such underwritten offering agrees to sell such holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled selecting the managing underwriter or underwriters hereunder and (d) each holder of Registrable Securities participating in such underwritten offering completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. The Company hereby agrees with each holder of Registrable Securities that, to the extent it consents to an underwritten offering hereunder, it will negotiate in good faith and execute all indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, including using all commercially reasonable efforts to procure customary legal opinions and auditor “comfort” letters.

8. Rule 144.

(a) Facilitation of Sales Pursuant to Rule 144. The Company covenants to the holders of Registrable Securities that to the extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act, the Company shall use commercially reasonably efforts to timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act (including the reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144) and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder, and shall take such further action as any holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar or successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities in connection with that holder’s sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall deliver to such holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

(b) Availability of Rule 144 Not Excuse for Obligations under Section 2. The fact that holders of Registrable Securities may become eligible to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 shall not (1) cause such Securities to cease to be Registrable Securities by any means other than pursuant to the definition of Registrable Securities or (2) excuse the Company’s obligations set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement, including without limitation the obligations in respect of an Exchange Offer, Shelf Registration and Special Interest.

19

(b) Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that there would be no adequate remedy at law if the Company fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder and that the Purchasers and the holders from time to time of the Registrable Securities may be irreparably harmed by any such failure, and accordingly agree that the Purchasers and such holders, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity, shall be entitled to compel specific performance of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in any court of the United States or any State thereof having jurisdiction.

All the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto, and the holders from time to time of the Registrable Securities and the respective successors and assigns of the foregoing parties hereto. In the event that any transferee of any holder of Registrable Securities shall acquire Registrable Securities, in any manner, whether by gift, bequest, purchase, operation of law or otherwise, such transferee shall, without any further writing or action of any kind, be deemed a beneficiary hereof for all purposes and such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities such transferee shall be entitled to receive the benefits of, and be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by all of the applicable terms and provisions of this Agreement. If the Company shall so request, any such successor, assign or transferee shall agree in writing to acquire and hold the Registrable Securities subject to all of the applicable terms hereof.

(e) Survival.

(Date)

Reference is hereby made to the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement (the “Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement”) among Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (the “Company”) and the Purchasers named therein. Pursuant to the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has filed or will file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form [    ] (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) for the registration and resale under Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the Company’s 7.500% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Securities”). A copy of the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement is attached hereto. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement.

Each beneficial owner of Registrable Securities (as defined below) is entitled to have the Registrable Securities beneficially owned by it included in the Shelf Registration Statement. In order to have Registrable Securities included in the Shelf Registration Statement, this Notice of Registration Statement and Selling Securityholder Questionnaire (“Notice and Questionnaire”) must be completed, executed and delivered to the Company’s counsel at the address set forth herein for receipt ON OR BEFORE [Deadline for Response]. Beneficial owners of Registrable Securities who do not properly complete, execute and return this Notice and Questionnaire by such date (i) will not be named as selling securityholders in the Shelf Registration Statement and (ii) may not use the Prospectus forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities.

Certain legal consequences arise from being named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and related Prospectus. Accordingly, holders and beneficial owners of Registrable Securities are advised to consult their own securities law counsel regarding the consequences of being named or not being named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and related Prospectus.

The term “Registrable Securities” is defined in the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement.

	(b)	Set forth below is Interpretation A.65 of the Commission’s July 1997 Manual of Publicly Available Interpretations regarding short selling:
		“An issuer filed a Form S-3 registration statement for a secondary offering of common stock which is not yet effective. One of the selling shareholders wanted to do a short sale of common stock “against the box” and cover the short sale with registered shares after the effective date. The issuer was advised that the short sale could not be made before the registration statement becomes effective, because the shares underlying the short sale are deemed to be sold at the time such sale is made. There would, therefore, be a violation of Section 5 if the shares were effectively sold prior to the effective date.”

By returning this Notice and Questionnaire, the undersigned Selling Securityholder will be deemed to be aware of the foregoing interpretation.

Exhibit 99.1

Louisiana-Pacific Corporation Announces Receipt of Noteholder Consents,

Closing of Debt Offering, Early Settlement of Tender Offer and

Consent Solicitation and Call for Redemption

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – May 21, 2012 – Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (“LP”) (NYSE:LPX) today announced the early tender results for its previously announced offer to purchase and solicitation of consents for its 13% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”). As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 18, 2012 (the “Consent Deadline”), holders of approximately $233.8 million, or 95.92% of the outstanding principal amount, of the 2017 Notes had validly tendered their 2017 Notes for purchase by LP and validly delivered their consents to amend the indenture governing the 2017 Notes and the related intercreditor agreement.

LP also announced the completion of its previously announced offering of $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 7.500% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”). The issuance and sale of the 2020 Notes generated net proceeds of approximately $342.0 million, after deducting discounts and commissions and payment of related transaction expenses. LP intends to use the net proceeds of the offering of the 2020 Notes to repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire all of its outstanding the 2017 Notes, to pay related transaction costs and for other general corporate purposes. The completion of the offering of the 2020 Notes satisfied the financing condition for LP’s previously announced cash tender offer and consent solicitation with respect to any and all of the outstanding 2017 Notes.

In addition, LP announced that it has accepted for purchase and paid for all 2017 Notes validly tendered at or before the Consent Deadline, and that it has delivered an irrevocable notice of redemption for the redemption of all 2017 Notes not validly tendered at or before the Consent Deadline for redemption on June 20, 2012.

LP’s tender offer and consent solicitation are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in LP’s Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated May 7, 2012 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent (the “Letter of Transmittal”). The tender offer will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on June 4, 2012 (the “Expiration Time”), unless extended or earlier terminated. Following the Consent Deadline, tendered 2017 Notes may not be withdrawn and the related consents delivered may not be revoked, except as required by law. No consents delivered after the Consent Deadline will be accepted or paid for, and holders of 2017 Notes tendered after the Consent Deadline but prior to the Expiration Time will be entitled to receive the tender offer consideration of $956.17 per $1,000 principal amount of 2017 Notes at maturity but will not be entitled to receive any consent payment.

This news release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell the 2017 Notes and does not set forth all the terms and conditions of the tender offer and consent solicitation. Holders of 2017 Notes should carefully read LP’s Offer to Purchase and Letter of Transmittal for a complete description of all terms and conditions before any decision is made with respect to the tender offer and consent solicitation. LP does not make any recommendation as to whether or not any holder should tender 2017 Notes. Additional information concerning the terms of the tender offer and consent solicitation, the procedure for tendering 2017 Notes and the conditions to the tender offer and consent solicitation may be obtained by calling Goldman,

Sachs & Co. by calling (800) 828-3182. Copies of the Offer to Purchase and Letter of Transmittal may be obtained from Global Bondholder Services Corporation, at 65 Broadway – Suite 404, New York, New York 10006, (866) 470-3800.
