Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Note Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.08 hereof.

The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream (or, in each case, the equivalent documents setting forth the procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream) shall be applicable to the transfer of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note that are held by the Agent Members through Euroclear or Clearstream.

Except as set forth in Section 2.08 hereof, the Global Notes may not be transferred as a whole except 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.

Agent Members shall have no rights either under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary or under such Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of such Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of an owner of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

SECTION 2.03FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE

Dollar Financial Group, Inc., a New York corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 9.75% per annum from                 until maturity and shall pay the Liquidated Damages payable pursuant to Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement referred to below. The Company will pay interest and Liquidated Damages semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the 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 if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be                . The Company shall 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 a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect; it shall pay interest (including postpetition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Liquidated Damages (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

2.METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on May 1 or November 1 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 2.14 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that all payments with respect to Global Notes the Holders of which have given wire transfer instructions to the Company will be required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof. 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, U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

4.INDENTURE. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of November 13, 2003 (“Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb).  The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms.  All capitalized terms which are defined in the Indenture and used in this Note without other definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

5.OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. (a)  Except as set forth in subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 5, the Company shall not have the option to redeem the Notes prior to November 15, 2007. Thereafter, the Notes will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated

22

Damages, if any, thereon to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on November 15 of the years indicated below:

YEAR	PERCENTAGE
2007	104.875	%
2008	102.438	%
2009 and thereafter	100.000	%

(b)Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this paragraph 5, at any time prior to November 15, 2006, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture at a redemption price of 109.75% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon to the redemption date; provided that the Company receives net cash proceeds from contributions to its equity capital by Holdings (other than contributions in exchange for Disqualified Stock or Indebtedness) from, or the issue or sale of its Capital Stock (other than Capital Stock sold to a Subsidiary of the Company and other than Disqualified Stock) in, one or more Public Equity Offerings prior to November 15, 2006; that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture remain outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and that the redemption shall occur within 60 days of such Public Equity Offering.

6.MANDATORY REDEMPTION; OFFERS TO PURCHASE; OPEN MARKET PURCHASES.  Except as set forth in paragraph 7 below, the Company shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments or offers to purchase with respect to the Notes.  The Company may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise.

7.REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDER.  Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 25 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by Section 5.14 of the Indenture.

When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, the Company shall make an Asset Sale Offer pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture to all Holders and all Pari Passu Holders to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Debt 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 and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon to the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09 hereof and the instrument or instruments governing such Pari Passu Debt. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and Pari Passu Debt tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Debt surrendered by Holders and Pari Passu Holders, respectively, exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of such offer to purchase, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase.”

23

8.NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed.  Notices of redemption may not be conditional.  On and after the redemption date, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, will cease to accrue on the principal amount of the Notes or portions of them called for redemption.

The Company is not required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company is not required to transfer or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed.

10.PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

11.AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. Without the consent of any Holder, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to provide for the assumption of the Company’s obligations to Holders in the case of a merger or consolidation, to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act or to provide for the issuance of additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture.

12.DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Events of Default include: (i) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on, or Liquidated Damages, if any, with respect to, the Notes; (ii) default in payment when due of the principal of, or premium, if any, on, the Notes; (iii) failure by the Company to comply with the provisions of Sections 5.07, 5.09, 5.10, 5.14 or 6.01 of the Indenture; (iv) failure to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement of the Company under the Indenture or the Notes continued for 60 days after written notice to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes; (v) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is Guaranteed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of the Indenture, which default (A) is caused by a failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such Indebtedness on or prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”) or (B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $5.0 million or more; (vi) failure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to pay final judgments which are

24

non-appealable aggregating in excess of $5.0 million, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days; (vii) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Guarantee of the Notes shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Guarantee of the Notes; and (viii) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary.

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 all the 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, with respect to the Company, any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or Liquidated Damages, if any) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.

The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or Liquidated Damages, if any on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration).

The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

13.TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Indenture contains certain limitations on the rights of the Trustee, should it become a creditor of the Company, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The Trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue or resign.

14.NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under the Notes, the Guarantees of the Notes, the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Pledge Agreements or the Intercreditor Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.  Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

15.AUTHENTICATION. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

25

16.ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

17.ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF TRANSFER RESTRICTED SECURITIES. In addition to the rights provided to Holders under the Indenture, Holders of Transferred Restricted Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of the date of the Indenture (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), between the Company, the Guarantors and Credit Suisse First Boston LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as representatives of the several purchasers named on Schedule A to the Purchase Agreement.

18.GUARANTEES. This Note is entitled to the benefits of the Guarantees of the Notes (including the Guarantee of the Notes endorsed hereon) made for the benefit of the Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent by each of the Guarantors.

19.SECURITY DOCUMENTS.  This Note and the Guarantees of the Notes are entitled to the benefits of each of the Security Documents.

20.INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.  This Note and the Guarantees of the Notes are subject to the subordination provisions and other limitations set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement.  Each Holder, by its acceptance of this Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, and authorizes and directs the Trustee to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith.

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

The Company will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Security Documents and/or the Intercreditor Agreement.  Requests may be made to:

GUARANTEE

For value received, each of the undersigned Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally Guarantees to any Holder of the Note upon which this Guarantee of the Notes is endorsed ,and to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Note upon which this Guarantee of the Notes is endorsed, the Security Documents or the obligations of the Company thereunder, that: (a) the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, including Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Note upon which this Guarantee of the Notes is endorsed shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on premium, if any, and interest, including Liquidated Damages, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to any such Holder, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of the Note upon which this Guarantee of the Notes is endorsed or any of such other obligations, that the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise.  Failing payment when due of any amount so Guaranteed or any performance so Guaranteed for whatever reason, each of the undersigned Guarantors shall be, jointly and severally, obligated to pay the same immediately. Each of the undersigned Guarantors hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Note upon which this Guarantee of the Notes is endorsed, the Indenture or the Security Documents, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any Guarantor, 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 of the undersigned Guarantors hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company or another Guarantor, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Guarantee of the Notes shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Note upon which this Guarantee of the Notes is endorsed,

29

the Indenture and the Security Documents. If any Holder, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or any of the Guarantors, or any Custodian or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or any of the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee, to the Collateral Agent or to such Holder, this Guarantee of the Notes, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each of the undersigned Guarantors agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to any Holder of the Note upon which this Guarantee of the Notes is endorsed in respect of any obligations Guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations Guaranteed under the Indenture.  Each of the undersigned Guarantors further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and any Holder of the Note upon which this Guarantee of the Notes is endorsed, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations Guaranteed under the Indenture may be accelerated as provided in Article Seven of the Indenture for purposes of this Guarantee of the Notes, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations Guaranteed under the Indenture and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Seven of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the undersigned Guarantor for the purpose of this Guarantee of the Notes. Each of the undersigned Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder of the Note upon which this Guarantee of the Notes is endorsed under this Guarantee of the Notes or the Indenture.

THE OBLIGATIONS OF EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED GUARANTORS TO ANY HOLDER OF THE NOTE UPON WHICH THIS GUARANTEE OF THE NOTES IS ENDORSED AND TO THE TRUSTEE AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT PURSUANT TO THIS GUARANTEE OF THE NOTES AND THE INDENTURE ARE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ARTICLE ELEVEN OF THE INDENTURE, AND REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE TO SUCH INDENTURE FOR THE PRECISE TERMS OF THIS GUARANTEE.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantor that satisfies the provisions of Section 11.04 of the Indenture shall automatically be released of its obligations hereunder without the necessity of any action by any Person and regardless of whether this Guarantee is amended to reflect such release. This is a Guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

For purposes hereof, each of the undersigned Guarantors’ liability shall be that amount from time to time equal to the aggregate liability of such Guarantor under the Note upon which this Guarantee of the Notes is endorsed, but shall be limited to the lesser of (a) the aggregate amount of the obligations of the Company under the Note upon which this Guarantee of the Notes is endorsed, the Indenture and the Security Documents and (b) the amount, if any, which would not have (A) rendered such Guarantor “insolvent” (as such term is defined in the federal Bankruptcy Law and in the Debtor and Creditor Law of the State of New York), (B) left it with unreasonably small capital at the time this Guarantee of the Notes was entered into, or at the time such Guarantor Incurred liability hereunder, after giving effect to the Incurrence of existing Indebtedness immediately prior to such time or (C) left such Guarantor with debts

beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature; provided that, it shall be a presumption in any lawsuit or other proceeding in which such Guarantor is a party that the amount Guaranteed hereby is the amount set forth in subsection (a) above unless any creditor, or representative of creditors of such Guarantor, or debtor in possession or trustee in bankruptcy of such Guarantor, otherwise proves in such a lawsuit or other proceeding that the aggregate liability of such Guarantor is limited to the amount set forth in subsection (b). In making any determination as to the solvency or sufficiency of capital of a Guarantor in accordance with the previous sentence, the right of such Guarantor to contribution from other Guarantors and any other rights such Guarantor may have, contractual or otherwise, shall be taken into account.

Each of the undersigned Guarantors hereby certifies and warrants that all acts, conditions and things required to be done and performed and to have happened precedent to the creation and issuance of this Guarantee of the Notes and to constitute the valid obligation of such Guarantor have been done and performed and have happened in due compliance with all applicable laws.

The terms of this Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

Capitalized terms used herein have the same meanings given in the Indenture, dated as of November 13, 2003 (the “Indenture”), among the Dollar Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”), the Guarantors (as defined therein) and U.S. Bank National Association, as the Trustee, unless otherwise indicated.]

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Guarantors has caused this Guarantee of the Notes to be duly executed by its duly authorized officer.

SECTION 2.04EXECUTION AND AUTHENTICATION.

The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company and the Guarantees of the Notes endorsed thereon shall be executed on behalf of each of the Guarantors respectively by one of its Officers.  The signature of any of these Officers on the Notes or the Guarantees of the Notes may be manual or facsimile.

Notes and Guarantees of the Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time Officers of the Company or a Guarantor, respectively, shall bind the Company and such Guarantor, respectively, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes and the Guarantees of the Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes and the Guarantees of the Notes.

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

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company, and with Guarantees endorsed thereon executed by each of the Guarantors, to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Notes as in this Indenture provided and not otherwise.  Subject to the limitations set forth in this Indenture, the Company may, without the consent of the Holders, issue additional Notes under this Indenture having the same terms in all respects as such Notes or similar in all respects to such Notes except for the payment of interest (1) scheduled and paid prior to the date of issuance of those additional Notes or (2) payable on the first interest payment date following the date of their issuance.  All Notes issued under this Indenture shall be treated as a single class for all purposes hereunder, including with respect to the Guarantees of the Notes and the Collateral.

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

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.  Each Guarantee of the Notes shall be dated the date of the execution of the applicable Guarantor.

No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

SECTION 2.05REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT.

The Company shall maintain an office or agency where the Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where the Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes (the “Notes Register”) and of their transfer and exchange.  Such Notes Register shall distinguish between Senior Notes and Exchange Senior Notes.  The Company 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 Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without

35

notice to any Holder. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

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

The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Note Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

SECTION 2.06PAYING AGENT TO HOLD MONEY IN TRUST.

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

SECTION 2.07HOLDER 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 TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).

SECTION 2.08REGISTRATION; TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE GENERALLY; CERTAIN TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES; SECURITIES ACT LEGENDS.

(a)Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes.  The transfer and exchange of Global Notes or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures, which shall include restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act. Beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Note. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes to Persons required to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in another Global Note shall be permitted as follows:

(i)Restricted Global Note to Regulation S Global Note.  If the owner of a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note wishes at any time to transfer such interest to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note, such transfer may be effected only in accordance with the provisions of this subsection (a)(i) and subsection (a)(v) below and subject to the Applicable Procedures.  Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Registrar, of (A) an order given by the Depositary or its authorized representative directing that a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note in a specified principal amount be credited to a

36

specified Agent Member’s account and that a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note in an equal principal amount be debited from another specified Agent Member’s account and (B) a Regulation S Certificate, in the form of Exhibit A hereto, duly executed by the owner of such beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note or his attorney duly authorized in writing, the Trustee, as Registrar but subject to subsection (a)(v) below, shall reduce the principal amount of the Restricted Global Note and increase the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note by such specified principal amount.

(ii)Regulation S Global Note to Restricted Global Note.  If the owner of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note wishes at any time to transfer such interest to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note, such transfer may be effected only in accordance with this subsection (a)(ii) and subject to the Applicable Procedures.  Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Registrar, of (A) an order given by the Depositary or its authorized representative directing that a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note in a specified principal amount be credited to a specified Agent Member’s account and that a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note in an equal principal amount be debited from another specified Agent Member’s account and (B) if such transfer is to occur during the Restricted Period, a Restricted Notes Certificate, in the form of Exhibit B hereto, duly executed by the owner of such beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note or his attorney duly authorized in writing, the Trustee, as Registrar, shall reduce the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note and increase the principal amount of the Restricted Global Note by such specified principal amount.

(iii)Restricted Non-Global Note to Restricted Global Note or Regulation S Global Note.  If the Holder of a Restricted Note (other than a Global Note) wishes at any time to transfer all or any portion of such Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note or the Regulation S Global Note, such transfer may be effected only in accordance with the provisions of this subsection (a)(iii) and subsection (a)(v) below and subject to the Applicable Procedures.  Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Registrar, of (A) such Note and instructions satisfactory to the Trustee directing that a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note or Regulation S Global Note in a specified principal amount not greater than the principal amount of such Note be credited to a specified Agent Member’s account and (B) a Restricted Notes Certificate, if the specified account is to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note, or a Regulation S Certificate, if the specified account is to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note, in either case satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by such Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing, the Trustee, as Registrar, but subject to subsection (a)(v) below, shall cancel such Note (and issue a new Note in respect of any untransferred portion thereof) and increase the principal amount of the Restricted Global Note or the Regulation S Global Note, as the case may be, by the specified principal amount.

(iv)Regulation S Non-Global Note to Restricted Global Note or Regulation S Global Note.  If the Holder of a Regulation S Note (other than a Global Note) wishes at any time to transfer all or any portion of such Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note or the Regulation S Global Note, such transfer may be effected only in accordance with this subsection (a)(iv) and subsection (a)(v) below and subject to the Applicable Procedures.  Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Registrar, of (A) such Note and instructions satisfactory to the Trustee directing that a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note or Regulation S Global Note in a specified principal amount not greater than the principal amount of such Note be credited to a specified Agent Member’s account and (B) if the transfer is to occur during the Restricted Period and the specified account is to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note, a Restricted Notes Certificate, duly executed by such Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing, the Trustee, as Registrar, but subject to subsection (a)(v) below, shall cancel such Note (and issue a new

37

Note in respect of any untransferred portion thereof) and increase the principal amount of the Restricted Global Note or the Regulation S Global Note, as the case may be, by the specified principal amount.

(v)Regulation S Global Note to be Held Through Euroclear or Clearstream during Restricted Period.  The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Depositary to ensure that, until the expiration of the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note may be held only in or through accounts maintained at the Depositary by Euroclear or Clearstream (or by Agent Members acting for the account thereof), and no person shall be entitled to effect any transfer or exchange that would result in any such interest being held otherwise than in or through such an account; provided that this subsection (a)(v) shall not prohibit any transfer or exchange of such an interest in accordance with subsection (a)(ii) above or (c) below.

(b)Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Notes. When certificated Notes are presented by a Holder to the Registrar with a request:

(x)to register the transfer of the certificated Notes; or

(y)to exchange such certificated Notes for an equal principal amount of certificated Notes of other authorized denominations,

the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested; provided, however, that the certificated Notes presented or surrendered for register of transfer or exchange:

(i)shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by his attorney, duly authorized in writing; and

(ii)if the Note is to be transferred in whole or in part and is a Restricted Note, or is a Regulation S Note and the transfer is to occur during the Restricted Period, then the Trustee shall have received (A) a Restricted Notes Certificate, duly executed by the transferor Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing, in which case the transferee Holder shall take delivery in the form of a Restricted Note, or (B) a Regulation S Certificate, satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the transferor Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing, in which case the transferee Holder shall take delivery in the form of a Regulation S Note (subject in each case to Section 2.08(f))

(c)Transfer of a Beneficial Interest in a Restricted Global Note or Regulation S Global Note for a Certificated Note.

(i)Any Person having a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note or Regulation S Global Note may upon request, subject to the Applicable Procedures, exchange such beneficial interest for a certificated Note. Upon receipt by the Trustee of written instructions or such other form of instructions as is customary for the Depositary (or Euroclear or Clearstream, if applicable), from the Depositary or its nominee on behalf of any Person having a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note or Regulation S Global Note; provided, that if such interest is a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note, or if such interest is a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note and such exchange is to occur during the Restricted Period, then such interest shall be exchanged for a Restricted Note (subject in each case to Section 2.08(f));

(ii)in which case the Trustee or the Note Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, shall, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Note Custodian, cause the aggregate principal amount of Restricted Global Note or

38

Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, to be reduced accordingly and, following such reduction, the Company shall execute and, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee a certificated Note in the appropriate principal amount.

(iii)Certificated Notes issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, pursuant to this subsection (c) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its Agent Members or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such certificated Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered. Following any such issuance of certificated Notes, the Trustee, as Registrar, shall instruct the Depositary to reduce or cause to be reduced the aggregate principal amount at maturity of the applicable Global Note to reflect the transfer.

(d)Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture (other than the provisions set forth in subsection (e) of this Section 2.08), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except 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.

(e)Authentication of Certificated Notes in Absence of Depositary.  If at any time:

(i)the Depositary (a)  notifies the Company that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Notes or (b) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary for the Global Notes is not appointed by the Company within 90 days thereafter;

(ii)the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of certificated Notes under this Indenture; or

(iii)there has occurred and is continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes, then the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an authentication order in accordance with Section 2.04 hereof, authenticate and deliver, certificated Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Notes in exchange for such Global Notes.

(f)Securities Act Legends.  Rule 144A Notes and their Successor Notes shall bear a Restricted Notes Legend, and Initial Regulation S Notes and their Successor Notes shall bear a Regulation S Legend, subject to the following:

(i)subject to the following subsections of this Section 2.08(f), a Note or any portion thereof which is exchanged, upon transfer or otherwise, for a Global Note or any portion thereof shall bear the Securities Act Legend borne by such Global Note while represented thereby;

(ii)subject to the following subsections of this Section 2.08(f), a new Note which is not a Global Note and is issued in exchange for another Note (including a Global Note) or any portion thereof, upon transfer or otherwise, shall bear the Securities Act Legend borne by such other Note; provided, that if such new Note is required pursuant to Section 2.08(b) or (c) to be issued in the form of a Restricted Note, it shall bear a Restricted Notes Legend and, if such new Note is so required to be issued in the form of a Regulation S Note, it shall bear a Regulation S Legend;

(iii)Registered Notes shall not bear a Securities Act Legend;

39

(iv)at any time after the Notes may be freely transferred without registration under the Securities Act or without being subject to transfer restrictions pursuant to the Securities Act, a new Note which does not bear a Securities Act Legend may be issued in exchange for or in lieu of a Note (other than a Global Note) or any portion thereof which bears such a legend if the Trustee has received an Unrestricted Notes Certificate, in the form of Exhibit C hereto, duly executed by the Holder of such legended Note or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and after such date and receipt of such certificate, at the direction of the Company, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such a new Note in exchange for or in lieu of such other Note;

(v)a new Note which does not bear a Securities Act Legend may be issued in exchange for or in lieu of a Note (other than a Global Note) or any portion thereof which bears such a legend if, in the Company’s judgment, placing such a legend upon such new Note is not necessary to ensure compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and the Trustee, at the direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver such a new Note; and

(vi)notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.08(f), a Successor Note of a Note that does not bear a particular form of Securities Act Legend shall not bear such form of legend unless the Company has reasonable cause to believe that such Successor Note is a “restricted note” within the meaning of Rule 144, in which case the Trustee, at the direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver a new Note bearing a Restricted Notes Legend in exchange for such Successor Note.

(g)Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in the Global Notes have been exchanged for certificated Notes, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled, all Global Notes shall be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.13 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for certificated Notes, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled, 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 the Notes Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction.

(h)General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

(i)To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate certificated Notes and Global Notes at the Registrar’s request.

(ii)No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.12, 3.06, 5.10, 5.14 and 10.05 hereto).

(iii)All certificated Notes and Global Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of certificated Notes or Global Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt (except for the differences between the Exchange Senior Notes and the Senior Notes provided for herein) and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the certificated Notes or Global Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(iv)The Company shall not be required:

40

(A)to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange 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 part; or

(C)to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the immediately following interest payment date.

(v)Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on such Notes, and neither the Trustee, any Agent nor the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(vi)The Trustee shall authenticate certificated Notes and Global Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.04 hereof.

(vii)The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

(viii)Neither the Trustee nor any of its agents shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

SECTION 2.09REPLACEMENT NOTES.

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

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

SECTION 2.10OUTSTANDING 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 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.11 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.

41

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.09 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.

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 5.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, 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 2.11TREASURY NOTES.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that, for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

SECTION 2.12TEMPORARY NOTES.

Until certificated Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes upon a written order of the Company signed by two Officers of the Company. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate certificated Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

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

SECTION 2.13CANCELLATION.

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee 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 Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 2.14DEFAULTED INTEREST.

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any), 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 5.01 hereof.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or,

42

upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

ARTICLE 3
REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

SECTION 3.01NOTICES TO TRUSTEE.

If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 45 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (i) the subsection of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price.

SECTION 3.02SELECTION OF NOTES TO BE REDEEMED.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, selection of Notes for redemption shall be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed, or, if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; provided that no Notes of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. On and after the redemption date, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, will cease to accrue on the principal amount of the Notes or portions of them called for redemption. Except as provided in this Section 3.02, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

SECTION 3.03NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof, at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date, the Company shall mail or caused to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder of Notes whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address.

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

(a)the redemption date;

(b)the redemption price;

(c)if any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or

43

Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the original Note;

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

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

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

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

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

At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

SECTION 3.04EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be conditional.

SECTION 3.05DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE.

One Business Day prior to the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, Liquidated Damages, if any, and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, Liquidated Damages, if any, and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed.

If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 5.01 hereof.

44

SECTION 3.06NOTES REDEEMED IN PART.

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and, upon the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

SECTION 3.07OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

SECTION 3.09OFFER TO PURCHASE BY APPLICATION OF EXCESS PROCEEDS.

In the event that, pursuant to Section 5.10 hereof, the Company shall be required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes (an “Asset Sale Offer”), it shall follow the procedures specified in this Section 3.09.

45

The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement and no longer, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Company shall purchase the principal amount of Notes required to be purchased pursuant to Section 5.10 hereof (the “Offer Amount”).  Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.

Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company shall send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders and all holders (“Pari Passu Holders”) of other equally ranked Indebtedness containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets (“Pari Passu Debt”). The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall state:

(b)the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;

(c)that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrue interest and Liquidated Damages, if any;

(d)that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall cease to accrue interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, after the Purchase Date;

(e)that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may only elect to have Notes in denominations of $1,000, or integral multiples thereof, (unless such amount represents the entire principal amount of Notes held by such Holder) purchased;

(f)that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer shall be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent or the Depositary, as applicable, at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Purchase Date;

(g)that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent or the Depositary, as applicable, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Note purchased;

(h)that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Debt surrendered by Holders and Pari Passu Holders, respectively, exceeds the Offer Amount, the Company shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis with the Pari Passu Debt (with such adjustments as may be

46

deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $1,000, or integral multiples thereof, shall be purchased); and

(i)that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).

On or before the Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes and Pari Passu Debt or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and Pari Passu Debt tendered, and shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09. The Paying Agent shall promptly (but in any case not later than five Business Days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount received from the Company equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Company shall authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed (or caused to be transferred by book-entry) by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase Date.

Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

55

issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary thereof and (B) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary thereof shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an Incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be;

(6)        the Incurrence by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations that are Incurred for the purpose of fixing or hedging (A) interest rate risk with respect to any floating rate Indebtedness that is permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be outstanding or (B) currency exchange risk in connection with existing financial obligations and not for purposes of speculation;

(10)      the Incurrence by a Receivables Subsidiary of Indebtedness in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction that is without recourse (other than pursuant to representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities entered into in the ordinary course of business in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction) to the Company or any of its other Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets and that is not Guaranteed by the Company or any of its other Subsidiaries; and

(11)      the Incurrence by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Indebtedness (in addition to Indebtedness permitted by any other clause of this subsection (b)) in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding not to exceed $20.0 million; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of Indebtedness that may be Incurred by any of the Foreign Subsidiaries of the Company pursuant to this clause at any time outstanding may not exceed $10.0 million.

(c)           For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 5.09, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Indebtedness described in clauses (1) through (11) of subsection (b) above or under subsection (a) above, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, classify such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 5.09 and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of such clauses or pursuant to subsection (a) above, and may re-classify any such item of Indebtedness from time to time among such clauses or subsection (a) above, so long as such item meets the applicable criteria for such category.  For avoidance of doubt, Indebtedness may be Incurred in part pursuant to one of the clauses (1) through (11) above, and in part under one or more other clauses or under subsection (a) above.  Accrual of interest, accretion of accreted value and issuance of securities paid-in-kind shall not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 5.09.

SECTION 5.10       ASSET SALES.

(a)           The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, make any Asset Sale unless:

(1)           the Company (or the Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value (as determined in good faith and evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(2)           at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Company or such Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents;

provided that the amount of:

(1)           any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet) of the Company or any Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee thereof) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to any arrangement releasing the Company or such Subsidiary from further liability; and

(2)           any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Subsidiary from such transferee that are contemporaneously (subject to ordinary settlement periods) converted by the Company or such Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion),

shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision.

(b)           Within 360 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company may apply such Net Proceeds at its option:

(c)           Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce Indebtedness under the Replacement Credit Facility or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

(d)           Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the subsection (b) above shall be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, the Company shall be required to commence an Asset Sale Offer pursuant to Section 3.09 hereof to all Holders of Notes and all Pari Passu Holders, to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Debt that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds.  The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of, and Rule 14e-1 under, the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the

57

provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Indenture by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations.  The offer price for such Asset Sale Offer shall be an amount in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon to the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09 and the instrument or instruments governing such Pari Passu Debt, respectively. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and Pari Passu Debt tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Debt surrendered by Holders and Pari Passu Holders, respectively, exceeds the amount of the Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of such offer to purchase, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

SECTION 5.11       TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.

(a)           such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

(b)           if such Affiliate Transaction involves an amount in excess of $1.0 million, the terms of the Affiliate Transaction are set forth in writing and a majority of the non-employee directors of the Company disinterested with respect to such Affiliate Transaction has determined in good faith that the criteria set forth in subsection (a) are satisfied and has approved the relevant Affiliate Transaction as evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers’ Certificate; and

(c)           if such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involves an amount in excess of $5.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to the Holders of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view is or has been issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing;

provided that:

(1)           any employment agreement entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and consistent with the past practice of the Company or such Subsidiary;

(2)           transactions between or among the Company and/or its Subsidiaries;

(3)           the payment of Earn-out Obligations pursuant to agreements entered into at such time as the recipient of such payments was not an Affiliate of the Company or such Subsidiary;

58

(4)           the payment of fees to LGP in an amount not to exceed $1.0 million per fiscal year, plus any amounts available for such payments, but not paid, in prior fiscal years, from and after the date of this Indenture;

(5)           any agreement existing on the date of this Indenture, as in effect on the date of this Indenture, or as modified, amended or amended and restated by any modification, amendment or amendment and restatement made in compliance with the applicable provisions of subsections (a), (b) and (c) above;

(6)           customary compensation of, and indemnity arrangements in favor of, directors of Holdings, the Company and its Subsidiaries; and

in each case, shall not be deemed Affiliate Transactions.

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Lien on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, other than Permitted Liens, unless all payments due under this Indenture and the Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by such Lien or assignment or conveyance.

SECTION 5.13       CORPORATE EXISTENCE.

Subject to Article Six hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

SECTION 5.14       OFFER TO REPURCHASE UPON CHANGE OF CONTROL.

(a)           Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of, and Rule 14e-1 under, the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and

(7)that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent or Depositary, as applicable, receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and

(8)that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof.

The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes so tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. The Company shall

60

publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

(c)           The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in a manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 5.14 and such third party purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

SECTION 5.15       SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS.

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction with respect to any property unless:

(a)           the Company or such Subsidiary would be entitled to (1) Incur Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 5.09(a) and (2) Incur a Lien on such property securing such Attributable Debt without equally and ratably securing the Notes pursuant to Section 5.12;

(b)           the Company defaults in the payment when due of principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon redemption (including in connection with an offer to purchase) or otherwise;

63

(c)           the Company fails to comply with the provisions of Section 5.07, 5.09, 5.10, 5.14 or 6.01 hereof;

(d)           the Company fails to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement of the Company under this Indenture or the Notes and the Default continues for a period of 60 days after written notice to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes;

(e)           a default occurs under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or payment of which is Guaranteed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the date of this Indenture, which default (1) is caused by a failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such Indebtedness on or prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”) or (2) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $5.0 million or more;

(f)            the Company or any of its Subsidiaries fails to pay final judgments which are non-appealable aggregating in excess of $5.0 million, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days;

(h)           the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law:

(1)           commences a voluntary case,

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

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

(5)           generally is not paying its debts as they become due; or

(i)            a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

64

(2)           appoints a Custodian of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or

(3)           orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary;

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days.

The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

A Default under subsection (d) is not an Event of Default until the Company does not cure the Default within 60 days after receipt of the notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.”

In the case of any Event of Default occurring by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Company with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would have had to pay if the Company then had elected to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, an equivalent premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the Notes. If an Event of Default occurs prior to November 15, 2007 by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Company with the intention of avoiding the prohibition on redemption of the Notes prior to November 15, 2007, then the premium immediately due and payable, to the extent permitted by law upon the acceleration of the Notes, for purposes of this paragraph for each of the years beginning on November 15 of the years set forth below shall be as set forth in the following table expressed as a percentage of the amount that would otherwise be due but for the provisions of this sentence, plus accrued interest, if any, to the date of payment:

Year	Percentage
2003	109.750	%
2004	108.531	%
2005	107.313	%
2006	106.094	%

SECTION 7.02       ACCELERATION.

If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in subsection (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 hereof with respect to the Company, any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Significant Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.  Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in subsection (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 hereof occurs with respect to the Company, any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes shall be due and payable immediately without further action or notice.  The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences if

65

the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.

SECTION 7.03       OTHER REMEDIES.

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

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

SECTION 7.04       WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS.

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 7.05       CONTROL BY MAJORITY.

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

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

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

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 8.07 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.

67

This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

SECTION 9.02       LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE.

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 9.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 9.02, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company 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 9.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in subsections (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(a)           the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 9.04 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due;

For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of

73

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 7.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 9.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 9.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9.04 hereof, Sections 7.01(d) through 7.01(f) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.

Anything in this Article Nine to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 9.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 9.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

SECTION 9.06       REPAYMENT TO COMPANY

Except as provided below in this Section 10.02, this Indenture and the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes). Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of at least 75% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), no amendment, supplement or waiver to this Indenture may make any change in the provisions of Sections 5.10 or 5.14 hereof that adversely affects the rights of any Holder of Notes.

Upon the request of the Company 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 8.02(b) hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture.

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

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 7.04 and 7.07 hereof, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

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

(b)           reduce the principal of, premium, if any, or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes (except as provided above with respect to Sections 5.10 and 5.14 hereof);

(c)           reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, or Liquidated Damages, if any, on any Note;

77

(d)           waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

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

(f)            make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal, premium, if any, interest or Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes;

(g)           waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (except as provided above with respect to Sections 5.10 or 5.14 hereof); or

(h)           make any changes in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions.

SECTION 10.03                     COMPLIANCE WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT.

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

SECTION 10.04                     REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENTS.

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

SECTION 10.05                     NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF NOTES.

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall 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 10.06                     TRUSTEE TO SIGN AMENDMENTS, ETC.

The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article Ten if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amendment or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 8.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

ARTICLE 11
GUARANTEES

SECTION 11.01                     GUARANTEES.

Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally Guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, including Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on premium, if any, and interest, including Liquidated Damages, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so Guaranteed or any performance so Guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, this Indenture or the Security Documents, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any Guarantor, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company or another Guarantor, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that the Guarantees of the Notes shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, this Indenture and the Security Documents. If any Holder, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or any of the Guarantors, or any Custodian or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or any of the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee, to the Collateral Agent or to such Holder, the Guarantees of the Notes, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders of Notes in respect of any obligations Guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations Guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations Guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Seven for the purposes of the Guarantees of the Notes, 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 Seven, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of the Guarantees of the Notes. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the Holders under the Guarantees of the Notes.

SECTION 11.02                     EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF GUARANTEES.

To evidence its Guarantee of the Notes set forth in Section 11.01, each Guarantor party to this Indenture on the date hereof hereby agrees to execute the Guarantee of the Notes substantially in the form set forth in Section 2.03 to be endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.  Each

79

such Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of each of the Guarantors and dated as set forth in Section 2.04 prior to the authentication of the Note on which it is endorsed, and the delivery of the Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of such Guarantees on behalf of each of the Guarantors.

To the extent not a party to this Indenture on the date hereof, each Guarantor shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guarantee in the form of Exhibit D hereto and a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor under this Article Eleven and shall Guarantee the obligations of the Company under this Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of such Guarantee and such supplemental indenture, such Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that the foregoing have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Guarantor and that such Guarantor’s Guarantee is a valid and legally binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms.

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

SECTION 11.03                     GUARANTORS MAY CONSOLIDATE, ETC. ON CERTAIN TERMS.

No Guarantor may consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person (other than the Company or another Guarantor) unless:

(a)           subject to the provisions of Section 11.04 hereof, the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company or such Guarantor) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under such Guarantor’s Guarantee of the Notes, this Indenture and the Security Documents pursuant to a supplemental indenture, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee;

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

(c)           the Company would be permitted (immediately after giving effect to such transaction, but without giving effect to the costs and expenses of such transaction) to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 5.09(a) hereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Guarantor shall be permitted to consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person pursuant to the preceding sentence if such consolidation or merger would not be permitted by Section 6.01 hereof.

In case of any such consolidation or merger and upon the assumption by the successor Person (if other than the Company or another Guarantor)  by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and reasonably satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Guarantees of the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by such Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for such Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Guarantees of the Notes to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All of the Guarantees of the Notes so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this

80

Indenture as the Guarantees of the Notes theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Guarantees of the Notes had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

Except as set forth in Articles Five and Six hereof, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company.

SECTION 11.04                     RELEASES OF GUARANTEES.

In the event of:

(a)           the defeasance or discharge of the Notes in accordance with Section 9.02 or 4.01, respectively;

(b)           a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of a Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, if the Net Proceeds are applied in accordance with Section 5.10; or

(c)           a sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor, if the Net Proceeds are applied in accordance with Section 5.10; or

(d)           the dissolution of a Guarantor which is not prohibited by Section 5.13 of this Indenture,

such Guarantor (and any of its Subsidiaries that are Guarantors) will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Guarantee of the Notes. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such defeasance or discharge or such sale or other disposition or dissolution was made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 5.10, as applicable, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee of the Notes.

Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Guarantee of the Notes shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of, premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents as provided in this Article Eleven.

SECTION 11.05                     LIMITATION ON GUARANTOR LIABILITY.

For purposes hereof, each Guarantor’s liability shall be that amount from time to time equal to the aggregate liability of such Guarantor under its Guarantee of the Notes, but shall be limited to the lesser of (a) the aggregate amount of the obligations of the Company under the Notes, this Indenture and the Security Documents and (b) the amount, if any, which would not have (A) rendered such Guarantor “insolvent” (as such term is defined in the federal Bankruptcy Law and in the Debtor and Creditor Law of the State of New York), (B) left it with unreasonably small capital at the time its Guarantee of the Notes was entered into, or at the time such Guarantor Incurred liability thereunder, after giving effect to the Incurrence of existing Indebtedness immediately prior to such time or (C) left such Guarantor with debts beyond such Guarantor’s ability to pay as such debts mature; provided that, it shall be a presumption in any lawsuit or other proceeding in which such Guarantor is a party that the amount Guaranteed pursuant to its Guarantee of the Notes is the amount set forth in subsection (a) above unless any creditor, or representative of creditors of such Guarantor, or debtor in possession or trustee in bankruptcy of such

81

Guarantor, otherwise proves in such a lawsuit or other proceeding that the aggregate liability of such Guarantor is limited to the amount set forth in subsection (b). In making any determination as to the solvency or sufficiency of capital of a Guarantor in accordance with the previous sentence, the right of such Guarantor to contribution from other Guarantors and any other rights such Guarantor may have, contractual or otherwise, shall be taken into account.

SECTION 11.06                     “TRUSTEE” TO INCLUDE PAYING AGENT.

In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article Eleven shall in such case (unless the context shall otherwise require) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully and for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article Eleven in place of the Trustee.

SECTION 11.07                     INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT

The Guarantees of the Notes and the Security Documents are subject to the subordination provisions and other limitations set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement.  Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, and authorizes and directs the Trustee to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith.

SECTION 11.08                     PRIORITY OF GUARANTEES.

Subject to the subordination provisions and other limitations set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, the Guarantees rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior Indebtedness of the Guarantors. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the Trustee and the Holders shall have the right to receive and/or retain payments by any of the Guarantors only at such times as they may receive and/or retain payments in respect of the Notes pursuant to this Indenture, including Article Eleven hereof, and the Intercreditor Agreement.

ARTICLE 12

SECTION 12.01                     SECURITY DOCUMENTS.

With respect to any Guarantees of the Notes by Guarantors now or hereafter directly owning Capital Stock of any Foreign Subsidiary, such Guarantors’ Guarantees of the Notes shall be secured by a Lien on the Collateral owned by such Guarantors, subject only to the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Administrative Agent and the lenders under the Replacement Credit Facility or any other security interest permitted by the terms of this Indenture, as provided in a Pledge Agreement in the form of Exhibit F hereto.  Each such Guarantor directly owning any Capital Stock of any Foreign Subsidiary as of the date hereof shall, with respect to such Capital Stock owned as of the date hereof and with respect to any such Capital Stock acquired by such Guarantor after the date hereof, execute and deliver to the Trustee a Pledge Agreement concurrent with the execution of this Indenture.  Each such Guarantor acquiring direct ownership of any Capital Stock of any Foreign Subsidiary after the date hereof shall, with respect to such Capital Stock acquired after the date hereof and with respect to any such Capital Stock acquired by such Guarantor after the date thereof, execute and deliver to the Trustee a Pledge Agreement concurrently with the acquisition of ownership of such Capital Stock.  Concurrently with the execution and delivery of such Pledge Agreement, such Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of

82

Counsel stating that the foregoing has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Guarantor and that such Pledge Agreement is a valid and legally binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms and creates a valid, perfected and enforceable security interest in the Collateral.  Such Opinion of Counsel shall be substantially in the form of the Opinion of Counsel delivered on the date hereof, with qualifications and assumptions substantially similar to those set forth therein, subject to changes in applicable law (including changes resulting from statutory amendments, judicial decisions, common law, interpretations by any governmental, judicial, administrative or regulatory authority having jurisdiction thereover, orders, decrees and judgments), facts or circumstances after the date hereof.  Certificates representing such Capital Stock shall be delivered at the time of execution of the Pledge Agreement or, if later, the time of acquisition of ownership of the Capital Stock represented by such certificates: (i) if prior to the Final Standstill Termination Date under the Intercreditor Agreement, to the Bailee or (ii) if subsequent to the Final Standstill Termination Date under the Intercreditor Agreement, to the Collateral Agent.

In addition, in the event the Company shall hereafter acquire direct ownership of any Capital Stock of any Foreign Subsidiary, the due and punctual payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest, including Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on premium, if any, and interest, including Liquidated Damages, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent under this Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents according to the terms hereunder or thereunder (including pursuant to any extension of time of payment or renewal) shall be secured by a Lien on the Collateral owned by the Company, subject only to the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Administrative Agent and the lenders under the Replacement Credit Facility or any other security interest permitted by the terms of this Indenture, as provided in a Pledge Agreement in the form of Exhibit F hereto.  In such event, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a Pledge Agreement concurrently with the acquisition of ownership of such Capital Stock.  Concurrently with the execution and delivery of such Pledge Agreement, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that the foregoing has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and that such Pledge Agreement is a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms and creates a valid, perfected and enforceable security interest in the Collateral.  Such Opinion of Counsel shall be substantially in the form of the Opinion of Counsel delivered on the date hereof, with qualifications and assumptions substantially similar to those set forth therein, subject to changes in applicable law (including changes resulting from statutory amendments, judicial decisions, common law, interpretations by any governmental, judicial, administrative or regulatory authority having jurisdiction thereover, orders, decrees and judgments), facts or circumstances after the date hereof.  Certificates representing such Capital Stock shall be delivered at the time of execution of the Pledge Agreement or, if later, the time of acquisition of ownership of the Capital Stock represented by such certificates: (i) if prior to the Final Standstill Termination Date under the Intercreditor Agreement, to the Bailee or (ii) if subsequent to the Final Standstill Termination Date under the Intercreditor Agreement, to the Collateral Agent.

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, take or knowingly or negligently omit to take, any action which action or omission might or would have the result of materially impairing the Liens with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders of the Notes; provided, however, that the taking of any action with respect to the Collateral that is not prohibited by the terms of the Replacement Credit Facility, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents will not be deemed to impair such security interest.

Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Security Documents (including, without limitation, the provisions providing for foreclosure and release of the

83

Collateral), as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms, and authorizes and directs the Trustee to direct the Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith.

84

of a Foreign Subsidiary, the Capital Stock of which is pledged by the Company or the Guarantor directly owning its Capital Stock, if the Net Proceeds are applied in accordance with Section 5.10, or (iv) a dissolution of a Foreign Subsidiary which is not prohibited by Section 5.13 of this Indenture the Capital Stock of which is pledged by the Company or the Guarantor directly owning its Capital Stock, the Trustee shall, at the request and expense of the Company, deliver a certificate and such other documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to the Collateral Agent instructing the Collateral Agent in accordance with the Security Documents to release the applicable Collateral from the terms of the Security Documents and hereof and to deliver to the Company such documents as the Company reasonably request to evidence the same.

(c)           The release of any Collateral from the terms hereof and of any of the Security Documents or the release, in whole or in part, of the Lien created by any of the Security Documents shall not be deemed to impair the Lien described in Section 12.01 in contravention of the provisions of this Indenture if and to the extent that the Collateral or Liens are released pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms hereof and pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of such Security Document.  The Company, the Trustee and each of the Holders acknowledge that a release of any of the Collateral or any part of the Lien in accordance with the terms of any Security Document and the terms hereof will not be deemed for any purpose to be an impairment of the Lien in contravention of the terms of this Indenture.  To the extent applicable, the Company shall comply with § 314 of the TIA relating to the release of property or securities from the security interest in the Collateral.  Any certificate or opinion required by § 314 of the Trust Indenture Act shall be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, except in cases in which § 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent person (which shall be an independent expert reasonably acceptable to the Trustee).

SECTION 12.06                     AUTHORIZATION OF RECEIPT OF FUNDS BY THE TRUSTEE UNDER THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS.

The Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed under the Security Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders according to the provisions of this Indenture.  Neither receipt by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, nor any application whatsoever, of any such funds shall operate as a payment or novation of the Company’s or any Guarantor’s Indebtedness under any Security Document or this Indenture or as a reduction of the Liens created under any Security Document, notwithstanding any law, usage or custom to the contrary.

SECTION 12.07                     AMENDMENT OF SECURITY DOCUMENTS.

(4)           no directed selling efforts have been made in the United States by or on behalf of the Owner or any affiliate thereof;

(5)           if the Owner is a dealer in securities or has received a selling concession, fee or other remuneration in respect of the Specified Notes, and the transfer is to occur during the Restricted Period, then the requirements of Rule 904(b)(1) have been satisfied;

(6)           if the Owner is an officer or director of the Company or a distributor, and is an affiliate of the Company or a distributor solely by virtue of holding such position, no selling concession, fee or other remuneration is paid in connection with such offer or sale other than the usual and customary broker’s commission that would be received by a person executing such transaction as agent; and

EXHIBIT D—Form of Guarantee

GUARANTEE

The undersigned Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally with each of the other Guarantors, unconditionally Guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents or the obligations of the Company thereunder, that: (a) the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, including Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on premium, if any, and interest, including Liquidated Damages, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise.  Failing payment when due of any amount so Guaranteed or any performance so Guaranteed for whatever reason, the undersigned Guarantor shall be, jointly and severally with each of the other Guarantors, obligated to pay the same immediately. The undersigned Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, the Indenture or the Security Documents, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any Guarantor, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. The undersigned Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company or another Guarantor, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Guarantee of the Notes shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, the Indenture and the Security Documents. If any Holder, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or any of the Guarantors, or any Custodian or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or any of the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee, to the Collateral Agent or to such Holder, this Guarantee of the Notes, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. The undersigned Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders of Notes in respect of any obligations Guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations Guaranteed hereby.  The undersigned Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations Guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Seven of the Indenture for purposes of this Guarantee of the Notes, 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 Seven of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the undersigned Guarantor for the purpose of this Guarantee of the Notes. The undersigned Guarantor 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 Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the Holders under this Guarantee of the Notes or the Indenture.

THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE UNDERSIGNED GUARANTOR TO THE HOLDERS AND TO THE TRUSTEE AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT PURSUANT TO THIS GUARANTEE OF THE NOTES AND THE INDENTURE ARE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ARTICLE ELEVEN OF THE INDENTURE, AND REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE TO SUCH

D-1

INDENTURE FOR THE PRECISE TERMS OF THIS GUARANTEE. THE TERMS OF ARTICLE ELEVEN OF THE INDENTURE ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE.

This is a continuing Guarantee and shall remain in full force and effect and shall be binding upon the undersigned Guarantor and its respective successors and assigns to the extent set forth in the Indenture until full and final payment of all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes, the Indenture and the Security Documents and shall inure to the benefit of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders and their successors and assigns and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, the rights and privileges herein conferred upon that party shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the undersigned Guarantor satisfies the provisions of Section 11.04 of the Indenture, it shall automatically be released of its obligations hereunder without the necessity of any action being taken by any Person and regardless of whether this Guarantee is amended to reflect such release. This is a Guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

For purposes hereof, the undersigned Guarantor’s liability shall be that amount from time to time equal to the aggregate liability of such Guarantor under this Guarantee of the Notes, but shall be limited to the lesser of (a) the aggregate amount of the obligations of the Company under the Notes, the Indenture and the Security Documents and (b) the amount, if any, which would not have (A) rendered such Guarantor “insolvent” (as such term is defined in the federal Bankruptcy Law and in the Debtor and Creditor Law of the State of New York), (B) left it with unreasonably small capital at the time this Guarantee of the Notes was entered into, or at the time the undersigned Guarantor Incurred liability hereunder, after giving effect to the Incurrence of existing Indebtedness immediately prior to such time or (C) left the undersigned Guarantor with debts beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature; provided that, it shall be a presumption in any lawsuit or other proceeding in which such Guarantor is a party that the amount Guaranteed pursuant to its Guarantee of the Notes is the amount set forth in subsection (a) above unless any creditor, or representative of creditors of such Guarantor, or debtor in possession or trustee in bankruptcy of such Guarantor, otherwise proves in such a lawsuit or other proceeding that the aggregate liability of such Guarantor is limited to the amount set forth in subsection (b). In making any determination as to the solvency or sufficiency of capital of the undersigned Guarantor in accordance with the previous sentence, the right of such Guarantor to contribution from other Guarantors and any other rights such Guarantor may have, contractual or otherwise, shall be taken into account.

The undersigned Guarantor hereby certifies and warrants that all acts, conditions and things required to be done and performed and to have happened precedent to the creation and issuance of this Guarantee of the Notes and to constitute the valid obligation of such Guarantor have been done and performed and have happened in due compliance with all applicable laws.

EXHIBIT E—Form of Supplemental Indenture

FORM OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (this “supplemental indenture”), dated as of                                                         , between                                     (the “Guarantor”), a direct or indirect subsidiary of Dollar Financial Group, Inc. (or its successor), a New York corporation (the “Company”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee under the indenture referred to below (the “Trustee”).

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, the Company and the Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture) have heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of November 13, 2003, providing for the issuance of 9.75% Senior Notes due 2011 (the “Notes”).

WHEREAS, Section 5.16 of the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Company is required to cause the Guarantor to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guarantor shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes, the Indenture and the Security Documents pursuant to a Guarantee of the Notes on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

WHEREAS, Section 10.01(d) of the Indenture permits a Guarantor to supplement the Indenture to provide additional benefits to Holders of the Notes without the consent of any Holders; and

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor and the Trustee 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 Indentures.

2.             AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE. The Guarantor hereby agrees, jointly and severally with all other Guarantors, to guarantee the Company’s obligations under the Notes, the Indenture and the Security Documents on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Article Eleven of the Indenture and to be bound by all other applicable provisions of the Indenture.

3.             NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under the Notes, the Guarantees of the Notes, the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Pledge Agreements or the Intercreditor Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.  Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

4.             EFFECTIVENESS. This supplemental indenture shall be effective upon execution by the parties hereto.

5.             RECITALS. The recitals contained herein shall be taken as the statements of the Company and the Guarantors and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity of this supplemental indenture.

6.             NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE.

7.             COUNTERPARTS. The parties may sign any number of copies of this supplemental indenture (including by telecopier transmission). Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.

8.             EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
