If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date;provided, however, that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Record Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), nor shall anything in this paragraph be construed to render ineffective any action taken pursuant to or in accordance with any other provision of this Indenture by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Record Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in Section 1.06.

If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date;provided, however, that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Record Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and without any action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), nor shall anything in this paragraph be construed to render ineffective any action taken pursuant to or in accordance with any other provision of this Indenture by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the matter(s) to be submitted for potential action by Holders and the applicable Record Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in Section 1.06.

With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto that sets such record date may designate any day as the “Record Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Record Expiration Date to any earlier or later day,provided, however, that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Record Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in Section 1.06, on or before the existing Record Expiration Date. If a Record Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto that set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Record Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Record Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Record Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date.

Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.

In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail or receive such notice, nor any defect in any such notice, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency or validity of such notice. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be

filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

SECTION 1.07.Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under the Trust Indenture Act to be part of and govern this Indenture, such provision of the Trust Indenture Act shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, such provision shall be deemed to be so modified or excluded, as the case may be.

The Securities

SECTION 3.01.Title and Terms. The aggregate principal amount of Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture on the Issue Date is limited to $1,000,000,000 principal amount of Initial Securities and up to $1,000,000,000 principal amount of Exchange Securities exchanged therefor in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement. Additional Securities may be issued, authenticated and delivered pursuant to Section 3.13, and Securities may be authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities pursuant to Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 9.06 or 11.08 or in connection with an Offer pursuant to Sections 10.13 or 10.14.

The Securities shall be known and designated as the “6½% Senior Notes Due 2012” of the Company. Their Stated Maturity for payment of principal shall be February 15, 2012. Interest on the Securities shall accrue at the rate of 6½% per annum and shall be payable semiannually in arrears on each February 15 and August 15, commencing August 15, 2004 to the Holders of record of Securities at the close of business on February 1 and August 1, respectively, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. Subject to Section 3.13(3), interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from February 17, 2004. Interest on the Securities will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

The principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities shall be payable at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The

City of New York, or such other office maintained by the Trustee for such purpose and at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose;provided,however, that, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register.

The Securities shall be redeemable as provided in Article XI and the Securities.

The Securities shall be subject to Defeasance and/or Covenant Defeasance as provided in Article XII.

SECTION 3.02.Denominations. The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and any integral multiple thereof.

SECTION 3.03.Execution and Authentication. The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its President or one of its Vice Presidents, its Chief Operating Officer, or its Chief Financial Officer. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, which shall specify the amount of the Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Securities is to be authenticated and, in the case of an issuance of Additional Securities pursuant to Section 3.13 after the Issue Date, shall certify that such issuance is in compliance with Section 10.08; and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities as in this Indenture provided and not otherwise.

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

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

Authentication by counterpart shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.03 and the requirements of the Securities.

SECTION 3.04.Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of Definitive Securities, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

If temporary Securities are issued, the Company will cause Definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for Definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities at any office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 10.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of Definitive Securities of authorized denominations and of a like tenor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Securities.

SECTION 3.05.Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency designated pursuant to Section 10.02 being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Company may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed (a) the initial “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided and (b) the Securities Custodian with respect to the Global Securities.

The Securities shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Security for registration of transfer and in compliance with the Appendix. When a Security is presented to the Security Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Security Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if its requirements therefor are met. When Securities are presented to the Security Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other denominations, the Security Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Security Registrar’s request.

All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall be the valid obligations of the Company,

evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities except as provided in Section 3.06, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, 9.06 or 11.08 or in accordance with any Change of Control Offer pursuant to Section 10.13 or any Asset Sale Offer pursuant to Section 10.14, and in any such case not involving any transfer.

Neither the Company nor the Security Registrar shall be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities selected for redemption under Section 11.05 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part or (iii) to register the transfer of any Securities other than Securities having a principal amount of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof.

Any Holder of a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such Global Security, agree that transfers of beneficial interest in such Global Security may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the Holder of such Global Security (or its agent) or (b) any Holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Security, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Security shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.

SECTION 3.06.Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute, and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental

charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

SECTION 3.07.Payment of Interest; Rights Preserved. Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more predecessor securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest payment.

Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in paragraph (1) or (2) below:

(1) the Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner: the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 15 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given to each Holder in the manner specified in Section 1.06, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date

therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

(2) the Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause (2), such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 3.05, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

SECTION 3.08.Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.07) interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 3.09.Cancellation. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or tendered and accepted pursuant to any Change of Control Offer pursuant to Section 10.13 or any Asset Sale Offer pursuant to Section 10.14 shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in its customary manner.

SECTION 3.10.Computation of Interest. Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

SECTION 3.11.CUSIP and CINS Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” and “CINS” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP or CINS numbers in notices of redemption or repurchase as a convenience to Holders;provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption or repurchase and that reliance

may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption or repurchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP or CINS numbers.

SECTION 3.12.Deposits of Monies. Except to the extent payment of interest is made by the Company’s check pursuant to Section 3.01, prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each Redemption Date, Stated Maturity, and Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds money sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Redemption Date, Stated Maturity and Purchase Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the Paying Agent to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Stated Maturity, and Purchase Date, as the case may be.

SECTION 3.13.Issuance of Additional Securities. The Company shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Section 10.08, to issue Additional Securities under this Indenture which shall have identical terms as the Initial Securities issued on the Issue Date, other than with respect to the date of issuance and issue priceprovided, however, no Additional Securities shall be issued that are not fungible for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, with any other securities issued under this Indenture. The Initial Securities issued on the Issue Date, any Additional Securities and all Exchange Securities issued in exchange therefor shall rank equally and be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture.

With respect to any Additional Securities, the Company shall set forth in a resolution of its Board of Directors and an Officers’ Certificate, a copy of each which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:

(1) whether such Additional Securities shall be issued as part of a new or existing series of Securities and the title of such Additional Securities (which shall distinguish the Additional Securities of the series from Securities of any other series);

(2) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture, which may be in an unlimited aggregate principal amount;

(3) the issue price and issuance date of such Additional Securities, including the date from which interest on such Additional Securities shall accrue;

of those set forth in Section 2.3 of the Appendix in which any such Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Additional Securities registered, or any transfer of such Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name or names of Persons other than the depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof; and

(6) if applicable, that such Additional Securities shall not be issued in the form of Initial Securities as set forth in Exhibit A-1, but shall be issued in the form of Exchange Securities as set forth in Exhibit A-2.

(D) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest and overdue principal at the rate set forth in the Securities which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration;

(2) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and

(3) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 5.03.Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The Company and each Guarantor covenants that if

(i) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

In addition to the rights and powers set forth in Section 317(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall be entitled to file such other papers or documents as may

be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the Holders of the Securities allowed in any judicial proceeding relative to the Company, any Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Securities, its creditors, or its property, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of its charges and expenses; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for compensation and expenses, including counsel fees incurred by it up to the date of such distribution.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

SECTION 5.04.Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07.

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, distributions and advances of the Trustee, its agents and

counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

SECTION 5.06.Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07;

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, respectively;

(iv) the Trustee for 45 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

(v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 45-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities; it being understood and intended that no

one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders.

SECTION 5.08.Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.07) interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date or in the case of a Change of Control Offer or an Asset Sale Offer made by the Company and required to be accepted as to such Security, on the relevant Purchase Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 5.09.Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

SECTION 5.10.Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 5.11.Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

(ii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

SECTION 5.13.Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default

(ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected.

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 5.14.Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses), and may assess costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided, that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company or a Guarantor, in any suit instituted by the Trustee, in any suit instituted by any Holder or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, or in any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security on or after the Stated Maturity expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date or, in the case of a Change of Control Offer or an Asset Sale Offer, made by the Company and required to be accepted as to such Security, on the applicable Purchase Date, as the case may be).

SECTION 5.15.Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company and each Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or

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

Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.

No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

SECTION 6.13.Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company or a Guarantor. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company or a Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company or such Guarantor (or any such other obligor).

Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 1.06, to all Holders as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.

If an appointment is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

Covenants

SECTION 10.01.Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest. The Company shall duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture. The Company will deposit or cause to be deposited with the Trustee or its nominee, no later than the opening of business on the date of the Stated Maturity of any Security or no later than the opening of business on the due date for any installment of interest, all payments so due, which payments shall be in immediately available funds on the date of such Stated Maturity or due date, as the case may be.

SECTION 10.02.Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company or any Guarantor in respect of the Securities, the Guarantees and this Indenture may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at a Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. In the event any such notice or demands are so made or served on the Trustee, the Trustee shall promptly forward copies thereof to the Company.

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

The Company hereby initially designates the Trustee as Paying Agent and Security Registrar, and the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, located at 101 Barclay Street, Floor 8 West, New York, New York 10286, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, as one such office or agency of the Company for each of the aforesaid purposes.

SECTION 10.03.Money for Security Payments to be Held in Trust. If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any of the Securities, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient

to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents, the Company will, prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Securities, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

The Company shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will: (i) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as Paying Agent and (ii) during the continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent as such.

The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent (other than the Company) to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease;provided,however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

SECTION 10.04.Existence; Activities. Subject to Article VIII, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full

force and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory) and material franchises;provided,however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

SECTION 10.05.Maintenance of Properties. The Company shall cause all material properties used in the conduct of its business or the business of any Restricted Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order (regular wear and tear excepted), all as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times;provided,however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company from disposing of any asset (subject to compliance with Section 10.14) or from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of such material properties if such discontinuance is, as determined by the Company in good faith, desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of any Restricted Subsidiary and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

SECTION 10.06.Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Company shall pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, and (2) all lawful material claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon property of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;provided,however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

SECTION 10.07.Maintenance of Insurance. The Company shall, and shall cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to, keep at all times all of their material properties which are of an insurable nature insured against loss or damage with insurers believed by the Company to be responsible to the extent that property of similar character is usually so insured by corporations similarly situated and owning like properties in accordance with good business practice. The Company shall, and shall cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to, use the proceeds from any such insurance policy to repair, replace or otherwise restore all material properties to which such proceeds relate,provided,however, that the Company shall not be required to repair, replace or otherwise restore any such material property if the Company in good faith determines that such inaction is desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

SECTION 10.08.Limitation on Indebtedness. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or in any manner become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise (in each case, to “incur”), for the payment of any Indebtedness (including any Acquired Indebtedness) other than Permitted Indebtedness;provided,

however, that (i) the Company and any Subsidiary Guarantor will be permitted to incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness), and (ii) a Restricted Subsidiary will be permitted to incur Acquired Indebtedness, if in each case, after giving pro forma effect to (1) the incurrence of such Indebtedness and (if applicable) the application of the net proceeds therefrom, including to refinance other Indebtedness, as if such Indebtedness were incurred at the beginning of the four full fiscal quarters immediately preceding such incurrence, taken as one period; (2) the incurrence, repayment or retirement of any other Indebtedness by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period as if such Indebtedness was incurred, repaid or retired at the beginning of such four-quarter period (except that, in making such computation, the amount of Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during such four-quarter period); and (3) any Asset Sale or Asset Acquisition occurring since the first day of such four-quarter period (including to the date of calculation) as if such acquisition or disposition occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company is at least 2:1.

SECTION 10.09.Limitation on Restricted Payments. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly:

(a) declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution or payment on or in respect of Capital Stock of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or make any payment to the direct or indirect holders (in their capacities as such) of Capital Stock of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than dividends or distributions payable solely in Capital Stock of the Company (other than Redeemable Capital Stock) or in options, warrants or other rights to purchase Capital Stock of the Company (other than Redeemable Capital Stock)) (other than the declaration or payment of dividends or other distributions to the extent declared or paid to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary);

(d) make any Investment (other than any Permitted Investment) in any Person,

(such payments or Investments described in the preceding clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) are collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless, after giving effect to the proposed Restricted Payment (the amount of any such Restricted Payment, if other than

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, enter into any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the sale, transfer, disposition, purchase, exchange or lease of assets, property or services) with, or for the benefit of, any of its Affiliates (other than Restricted Subsidiaries), except (a) on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those which could have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Company, (b) with respect to a transaction or series of related transactions involving aggregate payments or value equal to or greater than $2,000,000 the Company shall have delivered an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee certifying that such transaction or transactions comply with the preceding clause (a), and (c) with respect to a transaction or series of related transactions involving aggregate payments or value equal to or greater than $5,000,000, such transaction or transactions shall have been approved by a majority of the Disinterested Members of the Board of Directors of the Company.

SECTION 10.12.Limitation on Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (the “Initial Lien”) of any kind against or upon any of its property or assets, or any proceeds therefrom, unless the Securities are equally and ratably secured (except that Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness shall be expressly subordinate to Liens securing the Securities to the same extent such Subordinated Indebtedness is subordinate to the Securities), except for Permitted Liens. Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities pursuant to the preceding sentence shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Initial Lien.

SECTION 10.13.Change of Control. (a) On or before the 30th day after the date of the occurrence of a Change of Control (the “Change of Control Date”), the Company shall make an Offer to Purchase (a “Change of Control Offer”) on a Business Day not more than 60 nor less than 30 days following the occurrence of the Change of Control (the “Change of Control Purchase Date”), all of the then Outstanding Securities tendered at a purchase price in cash (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”) equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the Change of Control Purchase Date. The Company shall be required to purchase all Securities tendered into the Change of Control Offer and not withdrawn. The Change in Control Offer shall remain open for at least 20 Business Days.

(b) On the Change of Control Purchase Date, the Company shall (i) accept for payment Securities or portions thereof (not less than $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof) tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent money, in immediately available funds, sufficient to pay the purchase price of all Securities or portions thereof so tendered and accepted and (iii) deliver to the Trustee the Securities so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the Securities or portions thereof tendered to and accepted for payment by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail or deliver to the Holders of

Securities so accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase price, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and make available for delivery to such Holders a new Security of like tenor equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Security surrendered. Any Securities not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer not later than the third Business Day following the Change of Control Purchase 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 the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

(d) The Company shall comply with Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder, to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable, in the event that a Change of Control occurs and the Company is required to purchase Securities as described above.

(e) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall not repurchase any Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company pursuant to an offer to purchase or otherwise until (1) the requirements of this Section 10.13 have been satisfied or (2) the Company shall have obtained the requisite consent under this Indenture to permit the repurchase of such Subordinated Indebtedness.

SECTION 10.14.Disposition of Proceeds of Asset Sales. The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any Asset Sale unless (a) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the shares or assets sold or otherwise disposed of and (b) at least 75% of such consideration consists of cash or Cash Equivalents or Replacement Assets (as defined below);provided,however, that (i) the amount of any liabilities (as shown on the most recent balance sheet of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary) of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary that are assumed by the transferee of such assets and (ii) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted within 90 days into cash or Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received) shall be deemed to be cash for the purposes of this provision;provided further, that the 75% limitation referred to in clause (b) will not apply to any Asset Sale in which the cash or Cash Equivalent portion of the consideration received therefrom, determined in accordance with the foregoing provision, is equal to or greater than what the after-tax proceeds would have been had such Asset Sale complied with the aforementioned 75% limitation.

To the extent that the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale are not required to be applied to repay, and permanently reduce the commitments under, Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, or are not so applied, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may apply the Net Cash

Proceeds from such Asset Sale, within 360 days of such Asset Sale, to an investment in properties and assets that replace the properties and assets that were the subject of such Asset Sale or in properties and assets that are used or useful in the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries conducted at such time or in businesses reasonably related thereto or in Capital Stock of a Person, the principal portion of whose assets consist of such property or assets (“Replacement Assets”). Any Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale that are neither used to repay, and permanently reduce the commitments under, Senior Indebtedness of the Company, nor invested in Replacement Assets within such 360-day period constitute “Excess Proceeds” subject to disposition as provided below.

When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds equals or exceeds $10,000,000, the Company shall make an offer to purchase (an “Asset Sale Offer”), from all holders of the Securities, an aggregate principal amount of Securities equal to such Excess Proceeds, at a price in cash equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the Purchase Date (the “Asset Sale Offer Price”). To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Securities tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use such deficiency for general corporate purposes. The Securities shall be purchased by the Company, at the option of the Holder thereof, in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000, on a date that is not earlier than 30 days and not later than 60 days from the date the notice is given to Holders, or such later date as may be necessary for the Company to comply with the requirements under the Exchange Act. If Securities purchasable at an aggregate Purchase Price in excess of the Purchase Amount are tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer to Purchase, the Company shall purchase Securities on a pro rata basis, based on the Purchase Price therefor, or such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (subject in each case to applicable rules of the Depositary and any securities exchange upon which the Securities may then be listed), with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate so that only Securities in denominations of $1,000 principal face amount or integral multiples thereof shall be purchased. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company is required to commence an Asset Sale Offer at any time when securities of the Company rankingpari passu in right of payment with the Securities are outstanding and the terms of such securities provide that a similar offer must be made with respect to such other securities, then the Asset Sale Offer for the Securities shall be made concurrently with such other offers and securities of each issue will be accepted on a pro rata basis in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of securities of each issue which the holders thereof elect to have purchased. Any Asset Sale Offer will be made only to the extent permitted under, and subject to prior compliance with, the terms of agreements governing Senior Indebtedness. Upon completion of such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset to zero.

On the Purchase Date under this Section 10.14, the Company shall (i) accept for payment (subject to proration as described in the Offer to Purchase) Securities or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent money, in immediately available funds, sufficient to pay the purchase price of all Securities or portions thereof so tendered and accepted and (iii) deliver to the

Trustee the Securities so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the Securities or portions thereof tendered to and accepted for payment by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail or deliver to the Holders of Securities so accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase price, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and make available for delivery to such Holders a new Security of like tenor equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Security surrendered. Any Securities not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer not later than the third business Day following the Asset Sale Offer Purchase Date.

Whenever the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds received by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries exceeds $10,000,000, such Excess Proceeds shall, prior to the purchase of Securities, be set aside by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in a separate account pending (i) deposit with the Paying Agent of the amount required to purchase the Securities tendered in an Asset Sale Offer or (ii) delivery by the Company of the Asset Sale Offer Price to the Holders of the Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. Such Excess Proceeds may be invested in Cash Equivalents, as directed by the Company, having a maturity date which is not later than the earliest possible date for purchase of Securities pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The Company will be entitled to any interest or dividends accrued, earned or paid on such Cash Equivalents.

The Company shall comply with Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder, to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable, in the event that an Asset Sale occurs and the Company is required to purchase Securities as described above.

SECTION 10.15.Limitation on Dividends and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to (a) pay dividends, in cash or otherwise, or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock or any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, (b) pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary, (c) make loans or advances to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary, (d) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary or (e) guarantee any Indebtedness of the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary, except for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of (i) applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order, (ii) customary non-assignment provisions of any contract or any lease governing a leasehold interest of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, (iii) customary restrictions on transfers of property subject to a Lien permitted under this Indenture, (iv) the Credit Agreement, as in effect on the Issue Date, (v) any agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in existence at the time of such acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired,

(vi) an agreement entered into for the sale or disposition of Capital Stock or assets of a Restricted Subsidiary or an agreement entered into for the sale of specified assets (in either case, so long as such encumbrance or restriction, by its terms, terminates on the earlier of the termination of such agreement or the consummation of such agreement and so long as such restriction applies only to the Capital Stock or assets to be sold), (vii) any agreement in effect on the Issue Date, (viii) this Indenture and the Guarantees, (ix) the indentures governing the 10¾% Notes, the 2002 10¾% Notes, the 7¾% Notes, the 9% Notes, the 1⁷/8% Convertible Notes, the 7% Notes and the 9¼% Notes, (x) joint venture agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business that prohibit actions of the type described in clauses (a), (c), (d) and (e) above, (xi) any agreement entered into with respect to a Special Purpose Vehicle in connection with a Securitization Transaction, containing customary restrictions required by the institutional sponsor or arranger of such Securitization Transaction in similar types of documents relating to the purchase of similar assets in connection with the financing thereof, (xii) restrictions relating to Foreign Subsidiaries contained in Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to clause (k) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness,” and (xiii) any agreement that amends, extends, refinances, renews or replaces any agreement described in the foregoing clauses,provided, however, that the terms and conditions of any such agreement are not materially less favorable to the Holders of the Securities with respect to such dividend and payment restrictions than those under or pursuant to the agreement amended, extended, refinanced, renewed or replaced.

SECTION 10.16.Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale/Leaseback Transaction with respect to any property unless:

(1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to:

(A) Incur Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale/Leaseback Transaction pursuant to Section 10.08; and

(B) create a Lien on such property securing such Attributable Debt without equally and ratably securing the Securities pursuant to Section 10.12;

(2) the net proceeds received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such Sale/Leaseback Transaction are at least equal to the fair value (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors) of such property; and

(3) the Company applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with Section 10.14.

(b) Notwithstanding clauses (1)(B), (2) and (3) of this Section 10.16, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into Sale/Leaseback Transactions with respect to rental fleet equipment.

SECTION 10.17.Additional Subsidiary Guaranties. The Company will cause each Domestic Subsidiary that guarantees any Indebtedness of the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary to at the same time execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guaranty Agreement pursuant to which such Domestic Subsidiary will guarantee payment of the Securities on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in this Indenture. This Section 10.17 shall not apply to any of the Company’s Subsidiaries that have been properly designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or as a Special Purpose Vehicle.

SECTION 10.18.Limitations on Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. (a) The Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” under this Indenture (a “Designation”) only if:

(i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such Designation;

(ii) the Company would be permitted to make an Investment (other than a Permitted Investment, except a Permitted Investment covered by clause (xii) of the definition thereof) at the time of Designation (assuming the effectiveness of such Designation) pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 10.09 in an amount (the “Designation Amount”) equal to the Fair Market Value of the Company’s interest in such Subsidiary on such date calculated in accordance with GAAP; and

(iii) the Company would be permitted under this Indenture to incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) pursuant to Section 10.08 at the time of such Designation (assuming the effectiveness of such Designation).

In the event of any such Designation, the Company shall be deemed to have made an Investment constituting a Restricted Payment pursuant to Section 10.09 for all purposes of this Indenture in the Designation Amount.

The Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, at any time (x) provide credit support for or subject any of its property or assets (other than the Capital Stock of any Unrestricted Subsidiary) to the satisfaction of, any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any undertaking, agreement or instrument evidencing such Indebtedness), (y) be directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary or (z) be directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness which provides that the holder thereof may (upon notice, lapse of time or both) declare a default thereon or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or payable prior to its final scheduled maturity upon the occurrence of a default with respect to any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any right to take enforcement action against such Unrestricted Subsidiary), except any non-recourse guarantee given solely to support the pledge by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Capital Stock of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. All Subsidiaries of Unrestricted Subsidiaries shall automatically be deemed to be Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of and after giving effect to such Revocation, and

(ii) all Liens and Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary outstanding immediately following such Revocation would, if incurred at such time by a Restricted Subsidiary, have been permitted to be incurred for all purposes of this Indenture.

For so long as the Securities are outstanding, whether or not the Company is subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or any successor provision thereto, the Company shall file with the Commission (if permitted by Commission practice and applicable law and regulations) the annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents which the Company would have been required to file with the Commission pursuant to such Section 13(a) or 15(d) or any successor provision thereto if the Company were so subject, such documents to be filed with the Commission on or prior to the respective dates (the “Required Filing Dates”) by which the Company would have been required so to file such documents if the Company were so subject. If, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, filing such documents by the Company with the Commission is not permitted by Commission practice or applicable law or regulations, the Company will transmit (or cause to be transmitted) by mail to the Trustee and all Holders of the Securities, as their names and addresses appear in the Securities Register, copies of such documents within 15 days after the Required Filing Date.

(2) In the event of an election to have Section 12.02 apply to the Outstanding Securities, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this instrument, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law,

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur.

(7) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion may be subject to customary assumptions and exceptions) to the effect that after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

(8) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of the Securities over the other creditors of the Company or any Guarantor with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or any Guarantor or others.

(9) No event or condition shall exist that would prevent the Company from making payments of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities on the date of such deposit or at any time ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit.

SECTION 12.06.Reinstatement. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining, or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under this Indenture, such Securities and the Guarantees from which the Company and the Guarantors have been discharged or released pursuant to Section 12.02 or 12.03 shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article with respect to such Securities, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section 12.05 with respect to such Securities in accordance with this Article;provided,however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any such Security following such reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money so held in trust.

ARTICLE XIII

Guarantee

SECTION 13.01.Guarantee. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees on a senior unsecured basis, jointly and severally, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (a) the full and prompt payment (within applicable grace periods) of principal of and interest on the Securities when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Securities and (b) the full and prompt performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Securities (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranty Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranty Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from such Guarantor, and that such Guarantor will remain bound under this Article XIII notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranty Obligation.

To the extent that any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required to pay any amounts on account of the Securities pursuant to a Guarantee in excess of an amount calculated as the product of (i) the aggregate amount payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors on account of the Securities pursuant to their respective Guarantees times (ii) the proportion (expressed as a fraction) that such Subsidiary Guarantor’s net assets (determined in accordance with GAAP) at the date enforcement of the Subsidiary Guaranties is sought bears to the aggregate net assets (determined in accordance with GAAP) of all Subsidiary Guarantors at such date, then such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be reimbursed by the other Subsidiary Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro rata, based upon the respective net assets (determined in accordance with GAAP) of such other Subsidiary Guarantors at the date enforcement of the Subsidiary Guaranties is sought. This paragraph is intended only to define the relative rights of Subsidiary Guarantors as among themselves, and nothing set forth in this paragraph is intended to or shall impair the joint and several obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under their respective Subsidiary Guaranties.

The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under any Guarantee.

Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guaranty Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Securities or the Guaranty Obligations. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranty Obligations or

any of them; (e) the failure of any Holder or Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranty Obligations; or (f) any change in the ownership of any Guarantor (subject to Section 13.05).

Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a guaranty of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guaranty of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranty Obligations.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranty Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranty Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of each Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranty Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against each Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranty Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise (within applicable grace periods), or to perform or comply with any other Guaranty Obligation (within applicable grace periods), each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranty Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranty Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (iii) all other monetary Guaranty Obligations of the Company to the Holders and the Trustee.

Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Guaranty Obligations Guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranty Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the

other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guaranty Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article V for the purposes of its Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranty Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranty Obligations as provided in Article V, such Guaranty Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purposes of this Section.

Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section.

SECTION 13.02.Limitation on Liability. Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations guaranteed hereunder by each Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable federal or state law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer.

SECTION 13.03.Execution and Delivery of Guarantees. The Guarantees to be endorsed on the Securities shall be in the form set forth in Exhibit C. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees to execute its Guarantee in such form, to be endorsed on each Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

Each Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of each respective Guarantor by any one of such Guarantor’s Chairman of the Board, Vice Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Financial Officer or Vice Presidents and any authorized signatories for any Guarantors that are not corporations. The signature of any or all of these officers on the Guarantee may be manual or facsimile.

A Guarantee bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of a Guarantor shall bind such Guarantor, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of the Security on which such Guarantee is endorsed or did not hold such offices at the date of such Guarantee.

Each Guarantee shall be registered, transferred, exchanged and cancelled, and shall be held in definitive or global form, in the same manner and together with, the Security to which it relates, in accordance with Article III.

The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee endorsed thereon on behalf of the Guarantors. Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 13.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse a Guarantee on any Security.

SECTION 13.04.Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc., on Certain Terms. Nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities or any Guarantee shall

prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or a Guarantor or the merger of a wholly owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company with and into a Guarantor or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the assets of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety or the Capital Stock of a Guarantor to the Company or a Guarantor.

SECTION 13.05.Release of Guarantors. The Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from all obligations under its Guarantee endorsed on the Securities and under this Article XIII without need for any further act or the execution or delivery or any document: (i) upon the sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of such Subsidiary Guarantor other than to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary and as permitted by this Indenture, including Section 10.14; (ii) upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor other than to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary and as permitted by this Indenture, including Section 10.14; (iii) upon Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance in accordance with Article XII; or (iv) if the Company properly designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that such transaction was made in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee endorsed on the Securities and under this Article XIII.

SECTION 13.06.Successors and Assigns. This Article XIII shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Securities shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

SECTION 13.07.No Waiver, etc. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article XIII shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article XIII at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

SECTION 13.08.Modification, etc. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article, nor the consent to any departure by a Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on a Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor or any other guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.

A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Security shall deliver a written order given in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in such Global Security or another Global Security and such account shall be credited in accordance with such order with a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Security and the account of the Person making the transfer shall be debited by an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Global Security being transferred. Transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security or the IAI Global Security to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through the Regulation S Global Security shall be made only upon receipt by the Trustee of a certification in the form provided on the reverse of the Initial Securities from the transferor to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Regulation S or (if available) Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In the case of a transfer of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security or the Rule 144A Global Security for an interest in the IAI Global Security, the transferee must furnish a signed letter substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the Trustee.

(ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Security to a beneficial interest in another Global Security, the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Security to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of Global Security from which such interest is being transferred.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4), a Global Security 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.

(iv) In the event that a Global Security is exchanged for Definitive Securities pursuant to Section 2.4 prior to the consummation of a Registered Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to such Securities, such Securities may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 (including the certification requirements set forth on the reverse of the Initial Securities intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A, Regulation S or such other applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Company.

(d)Restrictions on Transfer of Regulation S Global Security. (i) During the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Security may only be sold, pledged or transferred in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and only (1) to the Company, (2) so long as such security is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a person whom the selling holder reasonably believes is a QIB that purchases for its own account or for the account of a QIB to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (3) in an offshore transaction in accordance with Regulation S, (4) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 (if applicable) under the Securities Act, (5) to an IAI purchasing for its own account, or for the account of such an IAI, in a minimum principal amount of Securities of $250,000 or (6) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States. Prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through the Rule 144A Global Security or the IAI Global Security shall be made only in accordance with Applicable Procedures and upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certification from the transferor of the beneficial interest in the form provided on the reverse of the Initial Security to the effect that such transfer is being made to (1) a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A or (2) an IAI purchasing for its own account, or for the account of such an IAI, in a minimum principal amount of the Securities of $250,000. Such written certification shall no longer be required after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period. In the case of a transfer of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security for an interest in the IAI Global Security, the transferee must furnish a signed letter substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the Trustee.

(ii) Upon the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Security shall be transferable in accordance with applicable law and the other terms of this Indenture.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This certificate is delivered to request a transfer of $ principal amount of the 6½% Senior Notes due 2012 (the “Notes”) of United Rentals (North America), Inc. (the “Company”).

Upon transfer, the Notes would be registered in the name of the new beneficial owner as follows:

Name:

Address:

Taxpayer ID Number:

The undersigned represents and warrants to you that:

1. We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor” at least $250,000 principal amount of the Notes, and we are acquiring the Notes not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Notes in the normal course of our business. We, and any accounts for which we are acting, are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment.

2. We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the date that is two years after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which the Company or any affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the “resale restriction termination date”) only (a) to the Company,

(b) pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act, (c) in a transaction complying with the requirements of Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”), to a person we reasonably believe is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of a qualified institutional buyer to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (e) to an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that is an institutional accredited investor acquiring the Notes for its own account or for the account of such an institutional accredited investor, in each case in a minimum principal amount of the Notes of $250,000, for investment purposes and not with a view to or for offer or sale in connection with any distribution in violation of the Securities Act, or (f) pursuant to another available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in each of the foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the disposition of our property or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within our or their control and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the resale restriction termination date. If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is proposed to be made pursuant to clause (e) above prior to the resale restriction termination date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the Company and the Trustee, which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and that is acquiring such Notes for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the Company and the Trustee reserve the right prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Termination Date of the Notes pursuant to clause (d), (e) or (f) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications or other information satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee.
