Secured Notes due 2020 of the Issuer.

Section 2.01 Form and Dating; Terms.
(a) General. The Notes and the Trustees certificate of authentication shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or
endorsements required by law, stock exchange rules or usage. Each Note shall be dated the date of
its authentication. The Notes shall be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples
of $1,000 in excess thereof.
(b) Global Notes. Notes issued in global form shall 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 shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached 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 shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified in the
Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note attached thereto and each shall provide
that it shall represent up to the aggregate principal amount of 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 applicable, to 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 shall 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.
(c) Terms. The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and
delivered under this Second Supplemental Indenture is unlimited.
The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly
made, a part of this Second Supplemental Indenture and the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee,
by their execution and delivery of this Second Supplemental 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 Second Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this
Second Supplemental Indenture shall govern and be controlling.
The Notes shall be subject to repurchase by the Issuer pursuant an Asset Sale Offer or
Collateral Asset Sale Offer as provided in Section 4.08 hereof or a Change of Control Offer as
provided in Section 4.07 hereof. The Notes shall not be redeemable, other than as provided in
Article 3.
Additional Notes may be created and issued from time to time by the Issuer without notice to
or consent of the Holders and shall be consolidated with and form a single class with the Initial
Notes and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Initial Notes.
Except as described under Article 9 hereof, the Notes offered by the Issuer and any Additional
Notes subsequently issued under this Second Supplemental Indenture will be treated as a single
class for all purposes under this Second Supplemental Indenture, including waivers, amendments,
redemptions and offers to purchase. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to Notes
for all purposes of this Second Supplemental Indenture include any Additional Notes that are
actually issued. Any Additional Notes shall be issued with the benefit of an indenture
supplemental to this Second Supplemental Indenture.
Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication.
At least one Officer shall execute the Notes on behalf of the Issuer by manual or facsimile
signature.
-36-
If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is
authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid.
A Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under this Second Supplemental Indenture or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated substantially in the form provided for in
Exhibit A attached hereto, by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be
conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Second
Supplemental Indenture.
On the Issue Date, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order (an Authentication
Order), authenticate and deliver the Initial Notes. In addition, at any time, from time to
time, the Trustee shall upon an Authentication Order authenticate and deliver any Additional Notes.
Such Authentication Order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated.
The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate
Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each
reference in this Second Supplemental 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 Issuer.
Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent.
The Issuer shall 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 shall keep a register of the Notes (Note
Register) and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may appoint one or more
co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term Registrar includes any
co-registrar and the term Paying Agent includes any additional paying agent. The Issuer may
change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder. The Issuer shall notify
the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Second Supplemental
Indenture. If the Issuer fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent,
the Trustee shall act as such. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or
Registrar.
The Issuer initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (DTC) to act as
Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.
The Issuer initially appoints Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas to act as the Paying Agent,
Registrar and Transfer Agent for the Notes and the Registrar to act as Custodian with respect to
the Global Notes.
Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.
The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the
Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the
Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and will
notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer 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
Issuer 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 Issuer or a Subsidiary) shall have
no further liability for the money. If the Issuer or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall
segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as
Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuer, the
Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.
-37-
Section 2.05 Holder Lists.
The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent
list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with
Trust Indenture Act Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish
to the Trustee at least two 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 Issuer shall
otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 312(a).
Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange.
(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 Issuer for Definitive Notes if:
(A) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that the
Depositary 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 Issuer within 120 days after the date
of such notice from the Depositary;
(B) the Issuer in its sole discretion determines that the Global Notes (in
whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and delivers a
written notice to such effect to the Trustee; or
(C) there has occurred and is continuing a Default or Event of Default with
respect to the Notes, and the Depositary has notified the Issuer and the Trustee of
its desire to exchange the Global Notes for Definitive Notes.
Upon the occurrence of either of the preceding events in (A) or (B) above, Definitive Notes shall
be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes also may be
exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Sections 2.07 and 2.10
hereof. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or
any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Sections 2.07 or 2.10 hereof, shall be
authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be
exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a), however, beneficial
interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b) or (c)
hereof.
(b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer
and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary,
in accordance with the provisions of this Second Supplemental Indenture. Beneficial interests in
any Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial
interest in a Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to
the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.06(b) and Section 2.06(d) hereof.
(c) Transfer or Exchange of Beneficial Interests for Definitive Notes. If any holder
of a beneficial interest in a Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a
Definitive Note or to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in
the form of a Definitive
-38-
Note, then, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.06(b) hereof, the
Trustee will cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Note to be reduced
accordingly pursuant to Section 2.06(g) hereof, and the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will
authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the instructions a Definitive Note in the
appropriate principal amount. Any Definitive Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest
pursuant to this Section 2.06(c) will be registered in such name or names and in such authorized
denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest requests through
instructions to the Registrar from or through the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect
Participant. The Trustee will deliver such Definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such
Notes are registered.
(d) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Beneficial Interests. A Holder of a
Definitive Note may exchange such Note for a beneficial interest in a Global Note or transfer such
Definitive Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a
Global Note at any time. Upon receipt of a request for such an exchange or transfer, the Trustee
shall cancel the applicable Definitive Note and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate
principal amount of one of the Global Notes.
(e) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Definitive Notes. Upon request by a
Holder of Definitive Notes and such Holders compliance with the provisions of this Section
2.06(e), the Registrar will register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Notes. Prior to such
registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting Holder must present or surrender to the
Registrar the Definitive Notes duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by its attorney, duly authorized
in writing. In addition, the requesting Holder must provide any additional certifications,
documents and information, as applicable, required pursuant to the following provisions of this
Section 2.06(e). A Holder of Definitive Notes may transfer such Notes to a Person who takes
delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note.
(f) Global Note Legend. Each Global Note shall bear a legend in substantially the
following form:
THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE SECOND
SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE
BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER
ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (I) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY
BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06 OF THE SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, (II) THIS
GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06(a) OF

WHOLE OR IN PART FOR NOTES IN DEFINITIVE FORM, THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED
EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE
OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE
DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH
SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY. UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED
REPRESENTATIVE
-39-
OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (55 WATER STREET, NEW YORK, NEW YORK) (DTC) TO THE
ISSUER OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY
CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS MAY
BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE
& CO. OR SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF
DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY
PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN
INTEREST HEREIN.
(g) 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 cancelled in whole and not in part, each such Global
Note shall be returned to or retained and cancelled 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 shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall 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 shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the
Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.
(h) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.
(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an
Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrars request.
(ii) No service charge shall 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 Issuer 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 2.07,
2.10, 3.06, 4.07 and 9.05 hereof).
(iii) Neither the Registrar nor the Issuer shall be required to register the transfer
of or exchange 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 shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer,
evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Second Supplemental
Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of
transfer or exchange.
(v) The Issuer shall not 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, (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange
any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of
any Note being redeemed in
-40-
part or (C) 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 Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is
registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes,
and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
(vii) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency
of the Issuer designated pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, the Issuer shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and mail, in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more replacement Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations
of a like aggregate principal amount.
(viii) At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any
authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender
of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Global Notes or
Definitive Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and mail, the replacement Global Notes and Definitive Notes which the
Holder making the exchange is entitled to in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02
hereof.
(ix) 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.
Section 2.07 Replacement Notes.
If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Registrar or the Issuer and the
Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the ownership and destruction, loss or theft of
any Note, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall
authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustees requirements are met. If required by the Trustee
or the Issuer, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment
of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating
agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer and/or the
Trustee may charge for their expenses in replacing a Note.
Every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Issuer and shall be entitled to all
of the benefits of this Second Supplemental Indenture equally and proportionately with all other
Notes duly issued hereunder.
Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes.
The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for
those cancelled 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 Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer 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 bona fide purchaser.
-41-
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 Issuer, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof)
holds, on a Redemption Date or Maturity Date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date,
then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease
to accrue interest.
Section 2.09 Treasury Notes.
In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in
any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer, or by any Affiliate of the Issuer,
shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether
the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned
which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the
satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgees right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent
with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or any obligor upon the Notes or
any Affiliate of the Issuer or of such other obligor.
Section 2.10 Temporary Notes.
Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the
Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary
Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the
Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate
definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.
Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled to
all of the benefits accorded to Holders, or beneficial holders, respectively, of Notes under this
Second Supplemental Indenture.
Section 2.11 Cancellation.
The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and
Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of
transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or
the Paying Agent and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer,
exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy cancelled Notes (subject to the
record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all
cancelled Notes shall be delivered to the Issuer. The Issuer 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 Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted
interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted
interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the
rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the
proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuer
-42-
shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed
to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the
Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be
held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in
this Section 2.12. The Trustee shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and
payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to
the related payment date for such defaulted interest. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer
of such special record date. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuer (or, upon
the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) shall
mail or cause to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder a notice at his or her
address as it appears in the Note Register that states the special record date, the related payment
date and the amount of such interest to be paid.
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and for greater certainty, each Note
delivered under this Second Supplemental Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange
for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to
accrue, which were carried by such other Note.
Section 2.13 CUSIP and ISIN Numbers.
The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers (if then generally in use)
and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP and/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 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 Issuer will as promptly as practicable notify the Trustee of any change in the
CUSIP or ISIN numbers.
ARTICLE 3

Section 3.01 Notices to Trustee.
If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, it shall furnish to the
Trustee and the Registrar and Paying Agent, at least 2 Business Days before notice of redemption is
required to be mailed or caused to be mailed to Holders pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof but not
more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, an Officers Certificate setting forth (i) the clause
of this Second Supplemental Indenture or the subparagraph of such Note pursuant to which the
redemption shall occur, (ii) the Redemption Date; (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be
redeemed, (iv) the redemption price (or the method of calculating it) and (v) each place that
payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Notes to be redeemed.
Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased.
If less than all of the Notes, are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any
time, the Registrar and Paying Agent shall select the Notes to be redeemed or purchased (a) if the
Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the
principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed, (b) on a pro rata basis or
(c) by lot or by such other method in accordance with the procedures of DTC. In the event of
partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased shall be
selected, unless otherwise provided herein,
-43-
not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Registrar
and Paying Agent from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase.
The Registrar and Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes
selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or
purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes
selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; no Notes of
$2,000 or less can be redeemed in part, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be
redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not
$2,000 or a multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be redeemed or purchased. Except as
provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Second Supplemental Indenture that apply to
Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or
purchase.
Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.
The Issuer shall mail or cause to be mailed by first-class mail notices of redemption at least
30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed
at such Holders registered address or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, except
that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is
issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 13 hereof. Except as set forth in Section 3.07(c)
hereof, notices of redemption may not be conditional.
The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:
(a) the Redemption Date;
(b) the redemption price (or method of calculating it);
(c) if any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of
that Note that is to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date upon surrender of such
Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the
original Note representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed will be issued
in the name of the Holder of the Notes upon cancellation of the original Note;
(d) the place and address that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of
the Notes to be redeemed;
(e) the name and address of the Paying Agent;
(f) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect
the redemption price;
(g) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on
Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;
(h) the paragraph or subparagraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Second
Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed;
(i) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP
and/or ISIN number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and
-44-
(j) if in connection with a redemption pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, any condition
to such redemption.
At the Issuers request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuers name
and at its expense; provided that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least
2 Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be mailed or caused to be mailed to
Holders pursuant to this Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by 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.
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
(except as provided for in Section 3.07(c) hereof). The notice, if mailed in a manner herein
provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the 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 designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of
the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Subject to Section 3.05 hereof, on and after
the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.
Prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption or purchase date, the Issuer shall
deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or
purchase price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that
date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with
the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the
redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.
If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the
redemption or purchase date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes
called for redemption or purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after a Record Date
but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest to the
redemption or purchase date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at
the close of business on such Record Date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase shall not
be so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Issuer to comply
with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption
or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest accrued to
the redemption or purchase date 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 or Purchased in Part.

the Issuer and all of its Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all
creditors in writing,

such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into
cash (to the extent of the cash received) within 180 days following the closing of

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 5% of Total Assets
at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the fair
market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the
time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value,
shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision and for no other purpose.
(b) Within 450 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Issuer or
such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale,
(1) to permanently reduce:
(A) Obligations constituting First Lien Obligations (and, if the Indebtedness
repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with
respect thereto) (provided that (x) to the extent that the terms of First
Lien Obligations other than Obligations under the Notes require that such First Lien
Obligations are repaid with the Net Proceeds of Asset Sales prior to repayment of
other Indebtedness, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be entitled to
repay such other First Lien Obligations prior to repaying the Obligations under the
Notes and (y) subject to the foregoing clause (x), if the Issuer or any Subsidiary
Guarantor shall so reduce First Lien Obligations, the Issuer will equally and
ratably reduce Obligations under the Notes through open-market purchases
(provided that such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount
thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below

100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and
additional interest, if any, on the pro rata principal amount of Notes);

provided that, at the time of, and after giving effect to, such repurchase,
redemption or defeasance, the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds used to repurchase,
redeem or defease Existing Notes pursuant to this subclause (b) following the Issue

(C) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, other than
Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary (or any Affiliate
thereof);
-54-
(2) to make (a) an Investment in any one or more businesses, provided that such

of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (b)
capital expenditures or (c) acquisitions of other assets, in each of (a), (b) and (c), used
or useful in a Similar Business; or
(3) to make an investment in (a) any one or more businesses, provided that such

properties or (c) acquisitions of other assets that, in each of (a), (b) and (c), replace
the businesses, properties and/or assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale;

treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as
the Issuer, or such other Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith
expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of
such commitment (an Acceptable Commitment) and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is
later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Proceeds are applied in connection
therewith, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment (a
Second Commitment) within 180 days of such cancellation or termination; provided,
further, that if any Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason
before such Net Proceeds are applied, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds.
(c) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales of Collateral that are not invested or applied as set
forth in Section 4.08(b) shall be deemed to constitute Collateral Excess Proceeds. When
the aggregate amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds exceeds $200.0 million, the Issuer shall make an
offer to all Holders of the Notes and, if required by the terms of any First Lien Obligations or
Obligations secured by a Lien permitted under this Second Supplemental Indenture (which Lien is not
subordinate to the Lien of the Notes with respect to the Collateral), to the holders of such First
Lien Obligations or such other Obligations (a Collateral Asset Sale Offer), to purchase
the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes and such First Lien Obligations or such other
Obligations that is a minimum of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof that

$200.0 million by mailing the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Second Supplemental
Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee.
Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales of non-Collateral that are not invested or applied as
provided and within the time period set forth in Section 4.08(b) shall be deemed to constitute
Excess Proceeds. When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $200.0 million,
the Issuer shall make an offer to all Holders of the Notes and, if required or permitted by the
terms of any Senior Indebtedness, to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (an Asset Sale
Offer), to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes and such Senior
Indebtedness that is a minimum of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof that
may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of
the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for the closing of
such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Second Supplemental Indenture. The
Issuer will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds
-55-
within ten Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed $200.0 million by mailing
the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Second Supplemental Indenture, with a copy to the
Trustee.
To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and such other First Lien Obligations or
Obligations secured by a Lien permitted by this Second Supplemental Indenture (which Lien is not
subordinate to the Lien of the Notes with respect to the Collateral) tendered pursuant to a
Collateral Asset Sale Offer is less than the Collateral Excess Proceeds, the Issuer may use any
remaining Collateral Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to other covenants
contained in this Second Supplemental Indenture. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes
and such Senior Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess
Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject
to other covenants contained in this Second Supplemental Indenture. If the aggregate principal
amount of Notes or other First Lien Obligations or such other Obligations surrendered by such
holders thereof exceeds the amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the
Notes and such other First Lien Obligations or such other Obligations to be purchased on a pro rata
basis based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Notes or such other First Lien
Obligations or such other Obligations tendered. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes or the
Senior Indebtedness surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the
Trustee shall select the Notes and such Senior Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis
based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Notes or such Senior Indebtedness tendered.
Upon completion of any such Collateral Asset Sale Offer or Asset Sale Offer, the amount of
Collateral Excess Proceeds or Excess Proceeds, as the case may be, shall be reset at zero.
Additionally, the Issuer may, at its option, make a Collateral Asset Sale Offer or an Asset Sale
Offer using proceeds from any Asset Sale at any time after consummation of such Asset Sale;
provided that such Collateral Asset Sale Offer or Asset Sale Offer shall be in an aggregate
amount of not less than $50.0 million. Upon consummation of such Collateral Asset Sale Offer or
Asset Sale Offer, any Net Proceeds not required to be used to purchase Notes shall not be deemed
Excess Proceeds.
(d) Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds pursuant to this Section 4.08, the
holder of such Net Proceeds may apply such Net Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness
outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner
not prohibited by this Second Supplemental Indenture.
(e) The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any
other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are
applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to a Collateral Asset Sale Offer
or an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations
conflict with the provisions of this Second Supplemental Indenture, the Issuer shall comply with
the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its
obligations described in this Second Supplemental Indenture by virtue thereof.
Section 4.09 Liens.
The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly or
indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (except Permitted Liens) that secures
obligations under any Indebtedness or any related guarantee, on any asset or property of the Issuer
or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to
receive income therefrom, other than Liens securing Indebtedness that are junior in priority to the
Liens on such property, assets or proceeds securing the Notes and related Subsidiary Guarantees.
-56-
The foregoing shall not apply to (a) Liens securing the Notes and the related Subsidiary
Guarantees, (b) Liens securing Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Credit Facilities,
including any letter of credit relating thereto, that was permitted by the terms of this Second
Supplemental Indenture to be incurred pursuant to clause (1) of Section 4.10(b) set forth in the
Existing Secured Bond Indentures as in effect on the Issue Date; provided that, with
respect to Liens securing Obligations permitted under this subclause (b), the Notes and the related
Subsidiary Guarantees are secured by Liens on the assets subject to such Liens (except any European
Collateral) to the extent, with the priority and subject to intercreditor arrangements, in each
case no less favorable to the Holders of the Notes than those described under Article 10 set forth
in the Existing Secured Bond Indentures as in effect on the Issue Date and (c) Liens which are pari
passu in priority to the Liens securing the Notes and related Subsidiary Guarantees and are
incurred to secure Obligations in respect of any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to
Section 4.10 set forth in the Existing Secured Bond Indentures as in effect on the Issue Date;
provided that, with respect to Liens securing Obligations permitted under this subclause
(c), at the time of incurrence and after giving pro forma effect thereto, the ratio of (1) the
aggregate amount of Indebtedness secured by property, assets or proceeds that secure the Notes and
related Subsidiary Guarantees that are subject to a Lien that is pari passu or senior in priority
to the Liens securing the Notes and the related Subsidiary Guarantees incurred pursuant to
subclause (b) above, this subclause (c) and clause (6) of the definition of Permitted Liens
(other than Liens securing Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clauses (4) and (18) of Section
4.10(b) set forth in the Existing Secured Bond Indentures as in effect on the Issue Date) to (2)
the Issuers EBITDA for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal
financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such event for which
such calculation is being made shall occur, in each case with such pro forma adjustments to
Indebtedness and EBITDA as are appropriate and consistent with the pro forma adjustment provisions
set forth in the definition of Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would be no greater than 4.25 to 1.0;
provided that, with respect to Liens securing Obligations permitted under this subclause
(c), the Notes and the related Subsidiary Guarantees are secured by Liens on the assets subject to
such Liens (except any European Collateral) to the extent, with the priority and subject to
intercreditor arrangements, in each case no less favorable to the Holders of the Notes than those
described under Article 10 hereof.
Section 4.10 Discharge and Suspension of Covenants.
(a) If on any date following the Issue Date (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from
both Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Second
Supplemental Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and
(ii) being collectively referred to as a Investment Grade Rating Event), the Issuer and
the Subsidiaries shall not be subject to Section 4.07 hereof (the Suspended Covenant).
(b) In the event that the Issuer and the Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended
Covenant under this Second Supplemental Indenture for any period of time as a result of the
foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the Reversion Date) one or both of the Rating
Agencies (1) withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes
below an Investment Grade Rating and/or (2) the Issuer or any of its Affiliates enters into an
agreement to effect a transaction that would result in a Change of Control and one or more of the
Rating Agencies indicate that if consummated, such transaction (alone or together with any related
recapitalization or refinancing transactions) would cause such Rating Agency to withdraw its
Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the ratings assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade
Rating, then the Issuer and the Subsidiaries shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended
Covenant under this Second Supplemental Indenture with respect to future events, including, without
limitation, a proposed transaction described in clause (2) above.
-57-
(c) In the event of any such reinstatement, no action taken or omitted to be taken by the
Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries prior to such reinstatement shall give rise to a Default or Event
of Default under this Second Supplemental Indenture with respect to Notes.

Facilities:
(1) the Issuer and the Subsidiaries shall not be subject to covenants described under
Sections 4.08 and 4.09; and
(2) Sections 4.11(c), (d) and (e) shall apply to the Issuer and become effective upon
the occurrence of such an Investment Grade Rating Event.
(c) Limitations on Mortgages.
(1) Nothing in this Second Supplemental Indenture or in the Notes shall in any way
restrict or prevent the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary from incurring any
Indebtedness, provided, however, that neither the Issuer nor any of its
Subsidiaries will issue, assume or guarantee any indebtedness or obligation secured by
Mortgages upon any Principal Property, unless the Notes shall be secured equally and ratably
with (or prior to) such Indebtedness.
(2) The provisions of Section 4.11(c)(1) shall not apply to:
(3) Mortgages securing all or any part of the purchase price of property acquired or

performance of any provision of the Notes or this Second Supplemental 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

Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing

respect to the Notes, or (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which pursuant to Article

affected); provided, subject to Section 6.02 hereof, that the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its
consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any
such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be
deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Second Supplemental Indenture; but no such

Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the then total outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on
the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or
this Second Supplemental Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the
rights of any other Holder of a Note or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.
Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Second Supplemental Indenture or the

continuing;
(2) Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have
requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

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 Second Supplemental Indenture, the right of any
Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal and premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on
or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with a Change of
Control Offer), 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(a)(1) or (2) 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 Issuer for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest 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.
Section 6.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy
under this Second Supplemental Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for
any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every
such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Issuer, the Trustee and the
Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and
thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such
proceeding has been instituted.
Section 6.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07 hereof, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy,
and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to
every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not
prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 6.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or
remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a
waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by
this Article or
-65-
by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as
may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.
Section 6.12 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee is authorized to file such
proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any
judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes, including the
Guarantors), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to participate as a
member in any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and 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.

to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to
the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.14

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of

Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this
Section 7.01.
(e) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under

shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory
to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it.
(g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a

-68-
(h) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or

irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and
regardless of the form of action.
(i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,
including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be

Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes
and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would
have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting
interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to
continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee
is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.
Section 7.04 Trustees Disclaimer.
The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or

Issuers use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Issuer or upon the Issuers
direction under any provision of this Second Supplemental Indenture, it shall not be responsible
for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it

other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Second Supplemental
Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.
Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults.
If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall
mail to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the
case of a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note,
the Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default if and so long as a
committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in
the interests of the Holders of the Notes. The Trustee shall not be deemed to know of any Default
unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice
of any event which is such a Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of
the Trustee.
Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes.
Within 60 days after each May 15, beginning with the May 15 following the date of this Second
Supplemental Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the
Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with Trust
Indenture Act Section 313(a) (but if no event described in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a) has
occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted).
The Trustee also shall comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also
transmit by mail all reports as required by Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c).
-69-
A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Notes shall be mailed to
the Issuer and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in
accordance with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(d). The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee
when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange.
Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity.
The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall pay to the Trustee from time to
time such compensation for its acceptance of this Second Supplemental Indenture and services
hereunder as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. The Trustees compensation
shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer and
the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all
reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the
compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation,
disbursements and expenses of the Trustees agents and counsel.
The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee for, and
hold the Trustee harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense
(including attorneys fees) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of
this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder (including the costs and expenses of
enforcing this Second Supplemental Indenture against the Issuer or any Guarantor (including this
Section 7.07) or defending itself against any claim whether asserted by any Holder or the Issuer or
any Guarantor, or liability in connection with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any of
its powers or duties hereunder). The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for
which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the
Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have
separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer need
not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the
Trustee through the Trustees own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.
The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 shall survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Second Supplemental Indenture or the earlier resignation or
removal of the Trustee.
To secure the payment obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantees in this Section 7.07, the
Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the
Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien
shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Second Supplemental Indenture.
When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(a)(5) or (6) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services
(including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any Bankruptcy Law.
The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of Trust Indenture Act Section 313(b)(2) to the
extent applicable. As used in this Section 7.07, the term Trustee shall also include each of the
Paying Agent, Registrar, and Transfer Agent, as applicable.
Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee.
A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become
effective only upon the successor Trustees acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section
7.08. The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and the Registrar, Paying Agent and Transfer
Agent
-70-
may resign with 90 days prior written notice and be discharged from the trust hereby created
by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing and may remove
the Registrar, Paying Agent or Transfer Agent by so notifying such Registrar, Paying Agent or
Transfer Agent, as applicable, with 90 days prior written notice. The Issuer may remove the
Trustee if:
(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;
(b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is
entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;
(c) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or
(d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.
If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any
reason, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor
Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer.
If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns
or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the Issuers expense), the Issuer or the Holders of at
least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six
months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.
A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring
Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the
Trustee under this Second Supplemental Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its
succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall 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. Notwithstanding replacement
of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuers obligations under Section 7.07 hereof
shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.
As used in this Section 7.08, the term Trustee shall also include each of the Paying Agent,
Registrar and Transfer Agent, as applicable.
Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.
If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of
its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further
act shall be the successor Trustee.
Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification.
There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation or national banking
association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any
state
-71-
thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is
subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report
of condition.
This Second Supplemental Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements
of Trust Indenture Act Sections 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture
Act Section 310(b).
Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer.
The Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a), excluding any creditor
relationship listed in Trust Indenture Act Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been
removed shall be subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.
ARTICLE 8
LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE
Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03
hereof 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 Issuers exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section
8.02, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, 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 and the Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied
(Legal Defeasance). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer shall be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes,
which shall thereafter be deemed to be outstanding only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof
and the other Sections of this Second Supplemental Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and
to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Second Supplemental Indenture
including that of the Guarantors (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer,
shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which
shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:
(a) the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments are due solely out of the
trust created pursuant to this Second Supplemental Indenture referred to in Section 8.04
hereof;
(b) the Issuers obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section
4.02 hereof;
(c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Issuers
obligations in connection therewith; and
(d) this Section 8.02.
-72-
Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuer 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 Issuers exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section
8.03, the Issuer shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04
hereof, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04,
4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, and 4.11 hereof and Section 5.01(a), Sections 5.01(b) and 5.01(c) hereof
with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section
8.04 hereof are satisfied (Covenant Defeasance), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed
not outstanding for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of
Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue
to be deemed outstanding for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes
shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance
means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Issuer may omit to comply with and shall
have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant,
whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or
by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other
document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under
Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Second Supplemental
Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuers exercise
under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(a)(3), 6.01(a)(5),
6.01(a)(6) and 6.01(a)(7) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.
Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

(1) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of
the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination
thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest due on the Notes on the stated Maturity Date or on the Redemption Date, as the case
may be, of such principal, premium, if any, or interest on such Notes, and the Issuer must
specify whether such Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular Redemption
Date;
(2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to

States Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or
(b) since the issuance of the Notes, there has been a change in the applicable
U.S. federal income tax law,
-73-
in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm
that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Notes will not
recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as applicable, 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;
(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to
customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Notes will not recognize 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;
(4) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make
such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in
each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) shall have occurred and be
continuing on the date of such deposit;
(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or
violation of, or constitute a default under the Senior Credit Facilities or any other
material agreement or instrument (other than this Second Supplemental Indenture) to which
the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound
(other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make the deposit required
to effect such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance and any similar and simultaneous
deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in
connection therewith);
(6) the Issuer shall have delivered 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;
(7) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers Certificate stating
that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of defeating, hindering,
delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or any Guarantor or others; and

Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and
exclusions) each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal
Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with.
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 Government Securities (including the proceeds
thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this
Section 8.05, the Trustee) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding
Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such
Notes and this Second Supplemental Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying
Agent (including the Issuer or a Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to
the Holders of such Notes of all
-74-
sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium and interest, but such
money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on
or assessed against the cash or 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.
Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay
to the Issuer from time to time upon the written request of the Issuer any money or 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(2) hereof), are in
excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
Section 8.06 Repayment to Issuer.
Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust
for the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for
two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the
Issuer on its request or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the
Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability
of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the
Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.
Section 8.07 Reinstatement.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or Government
Securities in accordance with Section 8.04 or 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 Issuers obligations under this Second Supplemental
Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant
to Section 8.04 or 8.05 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply
all such money in accordance with Section 8.04 or 8.05 hereof, as the case may be; provided
that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium or interest on any Note following
the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders
of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

relating to the transfer and legending of Notes as permitted by this Second Supplemental
Indenture, including, without limitation to facilitate the issuance and administration of
the Notes; provided, however, that (i) compliance with this Second
Supplemental Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in
violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (ii) such amendment
does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes; or

(13) to mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or grant any other Lien in favor of the Trustee
or the First Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, as
additional security for the payment and performance of all or any portion of the

Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its board of directors
authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the
Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer
and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or
permitted by the terms of this Second Supplemental Indenture and to make any further appropriate
agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated
to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes.
Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuer and the Trustee may amend or
supplement this Second Supplemental Indenture, any Guarantee or any Security Document and the Notes
with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes (including
Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding 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 or interest
on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or
compliance with any provision of this Second Supplemental Indenture, the Guarantees, the Security
Documents or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class
(including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase
of, the Notes). Section 2.08 hereof and Section 2.09 hereof shall determine which Notes are
considered to be outstanding for the purposes of this Section 9.02.
Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its board of directors
authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with
the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as
aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the
Trustee shall join with the Issuer in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture
unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustees own rights, duties or
immunities under this Second Supplemental Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in
its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture.
-77-
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to
approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such
consent approves the substance thereof. The consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent shall not
be necessary for any amendment, supplement or waiver to this Second Supplemental Indenture, except
for any amendment, supplement or waiver to Article 10 or 11 or as to this sentence.
After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer
shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment,
supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall
not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental
indenture or waiver.
Without the consent of each affected Holder of Notes, an amendment or waiver under this
Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):
(1) change the stated maturity of the principal of, or installment of interest, if any,
on, the Notes, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the interest thereon or any premium
payable upon redemption thereof;
(2) change the currency in which the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on
such Notes are denominated or payable;
(3) adversely affect the right of repayment or repurchase, if any, at the option of the
Holder after such obligation arises, or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed
for, any payment under any sinking fund or impair the right to institute suit for the
enforcement of any payment on or after the stated maturity thereof (or, in the case of
redemption, on or after the Redemption Date);
(4) reduce the percentage of Holders whose consent is required for modification or
amendment of this Second Supplemental Indenture or for waiver of compliance with certain
provisions of this Second Supplemental Indenture or certain defaults;
(5) modify the provisions that require Holder consent to modify or amend this Second
Supplemental Indenture or that permit Holders to waive compliance with certain provisions of
this Second Supplemental Indenture or certain defaults;
(6) make any change to or modify the ranking of the Notes or the subordination of the
Liens with respect to the Notes that would adversely affect the Holders; or
(7) except as expressly permitted by this Second Supplemental Indenture, modify the
Guarantees of any Significant Subsidiary in any manner adverse to the Holders of the Notes.
In addition, without the consent of at least 75% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then
outstanding, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not:
(1) modify any Security Document or the provisions of this Second Supplemental
Indenture dealing with the Security Documents or application of trust moneys, or otherwise
release any Collateral, in any manner materially adverse to the Holders other than in
accordance with this Second Supplemental Indenture, the Security Documents and the
Intercreditor Agreements; or
-78-
(2) modify any Intercreditor Agreement in any manner materially adverse to the Holders
other than in accordance with this Second Supplemental Indenture, the Security Documents and
the Intercreditor Agreements.
Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.
Every amendment or supplement to this Second Supplemental Indenture or the Notes shall be set
forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the Trust Indenture Act 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 Holders Note, even if notation of
the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a
Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation
before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or
waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder;
provided that any amendment or waiver that requires the consent of each affected Holder
shall not become effective with respect to any non-consenting Holder.
The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement, or waiver. If a record
date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at
such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to
consent to such amendment, supplement, or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether
or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid
or effective for more than 120 days after such record date unless the consent of the requisite
number of Holders has been obtained.
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 Issuer in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee
shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment,
supplement or waiver.
Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and
effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.
The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article
9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or
immunities of the Trustee. The Issuer may not sign an amendment, supplement or waiver until the
board of directors approves it. In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in
relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 14.04 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 Second Supplemental Indenture and that such amendment,
supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer and any Guarantors
party thereto, enforceable against them in accordance with its
-79-
terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof (including
Section 9.03). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel will be required for the
Trustee to execute any amendment or supplement adding a new Guarantor under this Second
Supplemental Indenture.
Section 9.07 Payment for Consent.
Neither the Issuer nor any Affiliate of the Issuer shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause
to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as
an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Second
Supplemental Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to all Holders and is paid
to all Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation
documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

Section 12.01 Subsidiary Guarantee.
Subject to this Article 12, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally,
fully and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and
enforceability of this Second Supplemental Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer
hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of, interest, premium on the Notes shall be
promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and

when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the
Subsidiary Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each
Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.
The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be
unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this
Second Supplemental 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 Issuer, 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 Subsidiary
Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in
the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first
against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Subsidiary
Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in
the Notes and this Second Supplemental Indenture.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under
this Section 12.01.
If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer,
the Subsidiary Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in
relation to either the Issuer or the Subsidiary Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee
or such Holder, this Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be
reinstated in full force and effect.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in
relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of
all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between the
Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the
maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof
for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or
other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and
(y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6
hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by
the Subsidiary Guarantors for the purpose of this Subsidiary

Guarantee. The Subsidiary Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any
non-paying Subsidiary Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of
the Holders under the Subsidiary Guarantees.
Each Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective
should any petition be filed by or against the Issuer for liquidation, reorganization, should the
Issuer become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or
trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Issuers assets, and shall, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if
at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or
reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes or
Subsidiary Guarantees, whether as a voidable preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, all
as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part
thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded,
reduced, restored or returned.
In case any provision of any Subsidiary Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.
The Subsidiary Guarantee issued by any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be a senior obligation of
such Subsidiary Guarantor and will be secured by a first-priority lien on the Non-Receivables
Collateral and by a second-priority lien on the Shared Receivables Collateral. The Subsidiary
Guarantees shall rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Indebtedness
of the Subsidiary Guarantor but, to the extent of the value of the Collateral, will be effectively
senior to all of the Subsidiary Guarantors unsecured Senior Indebtedness and Junior Lien
Obligations and, to the extent of the Shared Receivables Collateral, will be effectively
subordinated to the Subsidiary Guarantors Obligations under the ABL Facility and any future ABL
Obligations. The Subsidiary Guarantees will be senior in right of payment to all existing and
future Subordinated Indebtedness of each Subsidiary Guarantor. The Notes will be structurally
subordinated to Indebtedness and other liabilities of Subsidiaries of the Issuer that do not
Guarantee the Notes.
Each payment to be made by a Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of its Subsidiary Guarantee shall
be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.
As used in this Section 12.01, the term Trustee shall also include each of the Paying Agent,
Registrar and Transfer Agent, as applicable.
Section 12.02 Limitation on Subsidiary Guarantor Liability.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that
it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Subsidiary 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 Subsidiary Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the
Trustee, the Holders and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of
each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to
such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary 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 Subsidiary Guarantor in
respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article 12, result in the
obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not
-87-
constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. Each
Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in
full of all guaranteed obligations under this Second Supplemental Indenture to a contribution from
each other Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Subsidiary Guarantors pro rata
portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Subsidiary Guarantors at the
time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.
Section 12.03 Execution and Delivery.
To evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 12.01 hereof, each Subsidiary
Guarantor hereby agrees that this Second Supplemental Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such
Subsidiary Guarantor by its President, one of its Vice Presidents or one of its Assistant Vice
Presidents.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section
12.01 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement
of any notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee on the Notes.
If an Officer whose signature is on this Second Supplemental Indenture no longer holds that
office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Subsidiary Guarantee shall be valid
nevertheless.
The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall
constitute due delivery of the Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in this Second Supplemental Indenture
on behalf of the Subsidiary Guarantors.
Section 12.04 Subrogation.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders of Notes against the
Issuer in respect of any amounts paid by any Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of
Section 12.01 hereof; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
no Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or
based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Issuer under
this Second Supplemental Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full.
Section 12.05 Benefits Acknowledged.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from
the financing arrangements contemplated by this Second Supplemental Indenture and that the
guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Subsidiary Guarantee are knowingly made in
contemplation of such benefits.
Section 12.06 Release of Guarantees.
A Guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and
discharged, and no further action by such Subsidiary Guarantor, the Issuer or the Trustee is
required for the release of such Subsidiary Guarantors Guarantee, upon:
(1) (A) any sale, exchange or transfer (by merger or otherwise) of the Capital Stock
of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including any sale, exchange or transfer), after which the
applicable Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or all or substantially
all the assets
-88-
of such Subsidiary Guarantor, which sale, exchange or transfer is made in compliance
with the applicable provisions of this Second Supplemental Indenture;
(B) the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor of the
Senior Credit Facilities or such other guarantee that resulted in the creation of such
Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee;
(C) the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the definition of Unrestricted Subsidiary
hereunder;
(D) the occurrence of an Investment Grade Rating Event; or
(E) the exercise by the Issuer of its Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance
option in accordance with Article 8 hereof or the discharge of the Issuers obligations
under this Second Supplemental Indenture, in accordance with the terms of this Second
Supplemental Indenture; and
(2) such Subsidiary Guarantor delivering to the Trustee an Officers Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Second
Supplemental Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with.
Section 12.07 Parent Guarantee.
(a) The Parent Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees the punctual payment when due,
whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all of the monetary obligations of the
Issuer under this Second Supplemental Indenture and the Notes, whether for principal or interest on
the Notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise (all such obligations of the Parent Guarantor
being herein referred to as the Parent Guaranteed Obligations).
(b) It is the intention of the Parent Guarantor that the Parent Guarantee 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 the Parent Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the amount guaranteed
by the Parent Guarantor under the Parent Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will,
after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the
Parent Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, result in the obligations of the Parent
Guarantor under the Parent Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
(c) The Parent Guarantor guarantees that the Parent Guaranteed Obligations will be paid
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Second Supplemental Indenture, regardless of any law,
regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or
the rights of Holders of the Notes with respect thereto. The liability of the Parent Guarantor
under the Parent Guarantee shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
(i) any lack of validity, enforceability or genuineness of any provision of this Second
Supplemental Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of,
all or any of the Parent Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any
consent to departure from this Second Supplemental Indenture;
-89-
(iii) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or
amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guarantee, for all or any of
the Parent Guaranteed Obligations; or
(iv) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or
a discharge of, the Issuer or a guarantor.
(d) The Parent Guarantor covenants and agrees that its obligation to make payments of the
Parent Guaranteed Obligations hereunder constitutes an unsecured obligation of the Parent Guarantor
ranking pari passu with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the Parent
Guarantor that is not subordinated in right of payment to the Parent Guarantee.
(e) The Parent Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any
other notice with respect to the Parent Guarantee and any requirement that the Trustee, or the
Holders of any Notes protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any
property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the Issuer or any other
Person or any collateral.
(f) The Parent Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claims or other rights that it may now
or hereafter acquire against the Issuer that arise from the existence, payment, performance or
enforcement of the Parent Guarantors obligations under the Parent Guarantee or this Second
Supplemental Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of
the Trustee, or the Holders of any Notes against the Issuer or any collateral, whether or not such
claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including,
without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Issuer, directly or indirectly, in cash
or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such
claim, remedy or right. If any amount shall be paid to the Parent Guarantor in violation of the
preceding sentence at any time prior to the cash payment in full of the Parent Guaranteed
Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Parent Guarantee, such amount shall be held in
trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of any Notes and shall forthwith be paid to
the Trustee, to be credited and applied to the Parent Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts
payable under the Parent Guarantee, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of
this Second Supplemental Indenture and the Parent Guarantee, or be held as collateral for any
Parent Guarantor Obligations or other amounts payable under the Parent Guarantee thereafter
arising. The Parent Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from
the financing arrangements contemplated by this Second Supplemental Indenture and the Parent
Guarantee and that the waiver set forth in this Section 10.01 is knowingly made in contemplation of
such benefits.
(g) No failure on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes to exercise, and no delay
in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
remedies provided by law.
(h) The Parent Guarantee is a continuing guarantee and shall (a) subject to paragraph
12.07(i), remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the principal amount of all
outstanding Notes (whether by payment at maturity, purchase, redemption, defeasance, retirement or
other acquisition) and all other applicable Parent Guaranteed Obligations of the Parent Guarantor
then due and owing, (b) be binding upon the Parent Guarantor, its successors and assigns, and (c)
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Trustee, any Holder of Notes, and by their
respective successors, transferees, and assigns.
-90-
(i) The Parent Guarantor will automatically and unconditionally be released from all Parent
Guarantee Obligations, and the Parent Guarantee shall thereupon terminate and be discharged and of
no further force of effect, (i) upon any merger or consolidation of such Parent Guarantor with the
Issuer, (ii) upon exercise by the Issuer of its Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance
option in accordance with Article 8 hereof or the discharge of the Issuers obligations under this
Second Supplemental Indenture, in accordance with the terms of this Second Supplemental Indenture,
or (iii) upon payment in full of the aggregate principal amount of all Notes then outstanding and
all other applicable Parent Guaranteed Obligations of the Parent Guarantor then due and owing.
Upon any such occurrence specified in this paragraph 12.07(i), the Trustee shall execute upon
request by the Issuer, any documents reasonably required in order to evidence such release,
discharge and termination in respect of the Parent Guarantee. Neither the Issuer nor the Parent
Guarantor shall be required to make a notation on the Notes to reflect the Parent Guarantee or any
such release, termination or discharge.
(j) The Parent Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective
should any petition be filed by or against the Issuer for liquidation, reorganization, should the
Issuer become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or
trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Issuers assets, and shall, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if
at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or
reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes or Parent
Guarantee, whether as a voidable preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, all as though
such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof,
is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced,
restored or returned.
(k) The Parent Guarantor may amend the Parent Guarantee at any time for any purpose without
the consent of the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes; provided, however, that if
such amendment adversely affects (a) the rights of the Trustee or (b) any Holder of the Notes, the
prior written consent of the Trustee (in the case of (b), acting at the written direction of the
Holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of Notes) shall be required.
ARTICLE 13
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
Section 13.01 Satisfaction and Discharge.
This Second Supplemental Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect
as to all Notes, when either:
(1) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered, except lost, stolen or destroyed
Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore
been deposited in trust, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or
(2) (A) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have
become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise, shall
become due and payable within one year or may be called for redemption within one year under
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the
Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer, and the Issuer or any Guarantor has
irrevocably deposited
-91-
or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the
benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a
combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any
reinvestment of interest to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not
theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and
accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;
(B) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make
such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in
each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) with respect to this Second
Supplemental Indenture or the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of
such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will not result in
a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or
instrument (other than this Second Supplemental Indenture) to which the Issuer or any
Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound (other than that
resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and
simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and in each case, the granting of Liens
in connection therewith);
(C) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Second
Supplemental Indenture; and
(D) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the
deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the Redemption Date, as the
case may be.
In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officers Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the
Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Second Supplemental Indenture, if money
shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (A) of clause (2) of this Section
13.01, the provisions of Section 13.02 and Section 8.06 hereof shall survive.
Section 13.02 Application of Trust Money.
Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to Section 13.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the
provisions of the Notes and this Second Supplemental Indenture, to the payment, either directly or
through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest 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 13.01 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 Issuers or any Guarantors obligations under this Second Supplemental
Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant
to Section 13.01 hereof; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of,
premium or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer 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.

[Back of Note]
6.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2020
Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Second
Supplemental Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.
1. INTEREST. HCA Inc., a Delaware corporation, promises to pay interest on the principal
amount of this Note at 6.50% per annum from August 1, 2011 until maturity. The Issuer will pay
interest semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, or if any such day is
not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an Interest Payment Date).
Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if
no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that the first Interest
Payment Date shall be February 15, 2012. The Issuer will pay interest (including post-petition
interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from
time to time on demand at the interest rate on the Notes; it shall pay interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of
interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the
interest rate on the Notes. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of
twelve 30-day months.
2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes to the Persons who are
registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the February 1 and August 1 (whether or not
a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes
are cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as
provided in Section 2.12 of the Second Supplemental Indenture with respect to defaulted interest.
Payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the
register of Holders, provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds
will be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium on, all Global Notes and all
other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer or
the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America
as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas will act as
Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to
the Holders. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
4. SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE. The Issuer issued the Notes under the Base Indenture dated
as of August 1, 2011 (the Base Indenture) among the HCA Inc., the Guarantors named
therein, the Trustee and the Paying Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent, as supplemented by
Supplemental Indenture No. 2, dated as of August 1, 2011 (the Second Supplemental
Indenture), among HCA Inc., the Guarantors named therein, the Trustee and the Paying Agent,
Registrar and Transfer Agent. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Issuer
designated as its 6.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2020. The Issuer shall be entitled to issue
Additional Notes pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Second Supplemental Indenture. The terms of the
Notes include those stated in the Second Supplemental Indenture and those made part of the Second
Supplemental Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the Trust
Indenture Act). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the
Second Supplemental Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any
provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Second Supplemental Indenture
or the Base Indenture, the provisions of the Second Supplemental Indenture shall govern and be
controlling.
A-5
5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.
(a) Except as set forth below, the Issuer will not be entitled to redeem Notes at its option
prior to the Maturity Date.
(b) The Notes will be redeemable, at the Issuers option, at any time in whole or from time to
time in part, at a redemption, or make-whole, price equal to the greater of: 100% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and an amount equal to sum of the present
value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to be redeemed
(excluding accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date and subject to the right of Holders
on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date)
discounted from their scheduled date of payment to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis
(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using a discount rate equal to the
Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points plus, in each of the above cases, accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, to such Redemption Date.
(c) Any notice of any redemption may be given prior to the redemption thereof, and any such
redemption or notice may, at the Issuers discretion, be subject to one or more conditions
precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an Equity Offering or other corporate
transaction.
(d) If the Issuer redeems less than all of the outstanding Notes, the Registrar and Paying
Agent shall select the Notes to be redeemed in the manner described under Section 3.02 of the
Second Supplemental Indenture.
(e) Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph 5 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of
Sections 3.01 through 3.06 of the Second Supplemental Indenture.
6. MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Issuer shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or
sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
7. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Subject to Section 3.03 of the Second Supplemental Indenture, notice
of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before
the Redemption Date (except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a
Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 11 of the Second
Supplemental Indenture) to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address.
Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and
after the Redemption Date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for
redemption.
8. OFFERS TO REPURCHASE.
(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuer shall make an offer (a Change
of Control Offer) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of each Holders Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of
the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of
purchase (the Change of Control Payment). The Change of Control Offer shall be made in
accordance with Section 4.07 of the Second Supplemental Indenture.
(b) If the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries consummates an Asset Sale of
Collateral, within 10 Business Days of each date that the aggregate amount of Collateral Excess
Proceeds exceeds $200.0 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to all Holders of the Notes and, if
required by the terms of any First Lien Obligations or Obligations secured by a Lien permitted
under the Second
A-6
Supplemental Indenture (which Lien is not subordinate to the Lien of the Notes with respect to the
Collateral), to the holders of such First Lien Obligations or such other Obligations (a
Collateral Asset Sale Offer), to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the
Notes and such First Lien Obligations or such other Obligations that is a minimum of $2,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof that may be purchased out of the Collateral Excess
Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus
accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the
procedures set forth in the Second Supplemental Indenture. To the extent that the aggregate amount
of Notes and such other First Lien Obligations or Obligations secured by a Lien permitted by the
Second Supplemental Indenture (which Lien is not subordinate to the Lien of the Notes with respect
to the Collateral) tendered pursuant to a Collateral Asset Sale Offer is less than the Collateral
Excess Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining Collateral Excess Proceeds for general corporate
purposes, subject to other covenants contained in the Second Supplemental Indenture. If the
aggregate principal amount of Notes or other First Lien Obligations or such other Obligations
surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds, the Registrar
and Paying Agent shall select the Notes and such other First Lien Obligations or such other
Obligations to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or principal amount of
the Notes or such other First Lien Obligations or such other Obligations tendered. Upon completion
of any such Collateral Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds shall be reset at
zero.
(c) If the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries consummates an Asset Sale of
non-Collateral, within 10 Business Days of each date that the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds
exceeds $200.0 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to all Holders of the Notes and, if required
or permitted by the terms of any Senior Indebtedness, to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness
(an Asset Sale Offer), to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes
and such Senior Indebtedness that is a minimum of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in
excess thereof that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an
amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date
fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Second
Supplemental Indenture. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and such Senior
Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuer
may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to other covenants
contained in the Second Supplemental Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes or
Senior Indebtedness surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the
Trustee shall select the Notes and such Senior Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis
based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Notes or such Senior Indebtedness tendered.
Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.
(d) The Issuer may, at its option, make a Collateral Asset Sale Offer or Asset Sale Offer
using proceeds from any Asset Sale at any time after consummation of such Asset Sale;
provided that such Collateral Asset Sale Offer or Asset Sale Offer shall be in an aggregate
amount of not less than $50.0 million. Upon consummation of such Collateral Asset Sale Offer or
Asset Sale Offer, any Net Proceeds not required to be used to purchase Notes shall not be deemed
Excess Proceeds.
9. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes
may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Second Supplemental Indenture. The
Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees
required by law or permitted by the Second Supplemental Indenture. The Issuer need not exchange or
register the transfer of any Notes or portion of Notes selected for redemption, except for the
unredeemed portion of any Notes being redeemed in part. Also, the Issuer need not exchange or
register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be
redeemed.
A-7
10. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for
all purposes.
11. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The Second Supplemental Indenture, the Guarantees or
the Notes may be amended or supplemented as provided in the Second Supplemental Indenture.
12. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. The Events of Default relating to the Notes are defined in Section
6.01 of the Second Supplemental Indenture. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the
then outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all
outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.
Holders may not enforce the Second Supplemental Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes except as
provided in the Second Supplemental Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its
exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any
continuing Default (except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or
interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf
of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or and its consequences under the
Second Supplemental Indenture except a continuing Default in payment of the principal of, premium,
if any, or interest on, any of the Notes held by a non-consenting Holder. The Issuer is required
to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Second Supplemental
Indenture, and the Issuer is required within five (5) Business Days after becoming aware of any
Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default and what action the Issuer
proposes to take with respect thereto.
13. AUTHENTICATION. This Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Second
Supplemental Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the manual
signature of the Trustee.
14. [RESERVED].
15. GOVERNING LAW. THE SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, THE NOTES, THE PARENT GUARANTEE AND ANY
GUARANTEE WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
16. CUSIP/ISIN NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP/ISIN numbers to be printed on the
Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP/ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to
Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the
Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers placed thereon.

EXHIBIT B
[FORM OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE
TO BE DELIVERED BY SUBSEQUENT GUARANTORS]
Supplemental Indenture (this Supplemental Indenture), dated as of __________, among
__________________ (the Guaranteeing Subsidiary), a subsidiary of HCA Inc., a Delaware
Corporation (the Issuer), Law Debenture Trust Company of New York, as trustee (the
Trustee) and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Paying Agent, Registrar and
Transfer Agent
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, each of HCA Inc. and the Guarantors (as defined in the Second Supplemental Indenture
referred to below) have heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the
Second Supplemental Indenture), dated as of August 1, 2011, providing for the issuance of
an unlimited aggregate principal amount of 6.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2020 (the
Notes);
WHEREAS, the Second Supplemental Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the
Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant
to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuers
Obligations under the Notes and the Second Supplemental Indenture on the terms and conditions set
forth herein and under the Second Supplemental Indenture (the Guarantee); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Second Supplemental Indenture, the Trustee is
authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties mutually covenant and agree
for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:
(1) Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have
the meanings assigned to them in the Second Supplemental Indenture.
(2) Agreement to Guarantee. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees as follows:
(a) Along with all Guarantors named in the Second Supplemental Indenture, to jointly
and severally unconditionally guarantee to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered
by the Trustee and to the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and the Transfer Agent
and their successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the
Second Supplemental Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or
thereunder, that:
(i) the principal of and interest, premium on the Notes will be promptly paid
in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and
interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful,
and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or
thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the
terms hereof and thereof; and
(ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any
of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or
CB-1
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 and
the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same
immediately. This is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.
(b) The obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity,
regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the Second Supplemental 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
Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.
(c) The following is hereby waived: diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing
of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to
require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever.
(d) This Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the
obligations contained in the Notes, the Second Supplemental Indenture and this Supplemental
Indenture, and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary accepts all obligations of a Guarantor under the
Second Supplemental Indenture.
(e) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the
Issuer, the Guarantors (including the Guaranteeing Subsidiary), or any custodian, trustee,
liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the
Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the
extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.
(f) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in
relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in
full of all obligations guaranteed hereby.
(g) As between the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, on the one hand, and the Holders and the
Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be
accelerated as provided in Article 6 of the Second Supplemental Indenture for the purposes
of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any
declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 of the Second
Supplemental Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith
become due and payable by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary for the purpose of this Guarantee.
(h) The Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall have the right to seek contribution from any
non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the
Holders under this Guarantee.
(i) Pursuant to Section 12.02 of the Second Supplemental Indenture, after giving effect
to all other contingent and fixed liabilities that are relevant under any applicable
Bankruptcy Law or fraudulent conveyance 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 Article 12 of the
Second Supplemental Indenture, this new Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount
permissible such that the obligations
CB-2
of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary under this Guarantee will not constitute a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance.
(j) This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective
should any petition be filed by or against the Issuer for liquidation, reorganization,
should the Issuer become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or
should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Issuers
assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are,
pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or
returned by any obligee on the Notes and Guarantee, whether as a voidable preference,
fraudulent transfer or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been
made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or
returned, the Note shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed
reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
(k) In case any provision of this Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way
be affected or impaired thereby.
(l) This Guarantee shall be a general senior obligation of such Guaranteeing
Subsidiary, ranking equally in right of payment with all existing and future Senior
Indebtedness of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary but, to the extent of the value of the
Collateral, will be effectively senior to all of the Guaranteeing Subsidiarys unsecured
Senior Indebtedness and Junior Lien Obligations and, to the extent of the Shared Receivables
Collateral, will be effectively subordinated to the Guaranteeing Subsidiarys Obligations
under the ABL Facility and any future ABL Obligations. The Guarantees will be senior in
right of payment to all existing and future Subordinated Indebtedness of each Guarantor.
The Notes will be structurally subordinated to Indebtedness and other liabilities of
Subsidiaries of the Issuer that do not Guarantee the Notes, if any.
(m) Each payment to be made by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary in respect of this Guarantee
shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.

shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any
notation of such Guarantee on the Notes.

as the case may be, or the laws of the
CB-3
United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (such
Guarantor or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the Successor
Person);

any, comply with the Second Supplemental Indenture; or
(v) the transaction is made in compliance with Section 4.08 of the Second Supplemental
Indenture.

such Guarantor which sale, exchange or transfer is made in compliance with the applicable
provisions of the Second Supplemental Indenture;
(B) the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Guarantor of the Senior Credit
