If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note.

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

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(a) hereof.

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

33

Section 2.10Temporary Notes.

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

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

Section 2.11Cancellation.

Certification of the destruction of all canceled Notes will be delivered to the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date;provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest.

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

(1) the redemption date;

(2) the redemption price;

At the Company’s request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense;provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least 18 days prior to the redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

Section 3.04Conditional Notices of Redemption.

Any redemption pursuant to this Article Three may, at the Company’s discretion, be conditioned upon (1) the occurrence of a Change of Control or (2) the closing of another transaction, including a sale of securities or other financing, in each case as specified in the notice in reasonable detail. A notice of conditional redemption will be of no effect unless all conditions to the redemption have occurred on or before the applicable redemption date or have been waived by the Company on or before the applicable redemption date. The Company will provide notice to the Holders of the Notes subject to the notice of conditional redemption of the satisfaction of all conditions as soon as practicable following occurrence of the conditions.

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

In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.06 hereof, the Company is required to commence an Collateral Disposition Offer, it will follow the procedures specified below.

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

(8) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other Priority Lien Debt surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Company will select the Notes and other Priority Lien Debt to be purchased on apro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and such other Priority Lien Debt surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $1,000, or integral multiples thereof, will be purchased); and

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

38

On or before the Purchase Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on apro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Collateral Disposition Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09. The Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Company, will authenticate and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof.

Section 4.06Collateral Dispositions.

(a) The Company will not sell, lease, sell and lease back, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose (any of the foregoing, a “Disposition”) of any Collateral (but excluding any Permitted Disposition), unless:

Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from a Disposition of Collateral pursuant to this Section 4.06, the Company may apply such Net Proceeds:

(1) to purchase other Qualified Replacement Assets;

(2) to repay Priority Lien Debt; or

(3) to make a capital expenditure with respect to assets that constitute Collateral;

providedthat the Company will be deemed to have complied with the provision described in clauses (1) and (3) of this paragraph if and to the extent that, within 365 days after the Disposition that generated the Net Proceeds, the Company has entered into and not abandoned or rejected a binding agreement to acquire the assets that would constitute Collateral or make a capital expenditure in compliance with the provision described in clauses (1) and (3) of this paragraph, and that acquisition, purchase or capital expenditure is thereafter completed within 90 days after the end of such365-day period.

Any Net Proceeds from Dispositions that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraph of this Section 4.06, together with any Net Proceeds that are earlier designated as “Excess Proceeds” by the Company, will constitute“ExcessProceeds.” Within five days of the date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $100.0 million (or earlier if the Company so elects), the Company will make an offer to purchase and/or repay, prepay or redeem, as applicable, to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Priority Lien Debt containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase (“Other Offer Notes”), and prepay any other Priority Lien Debt requiring repayment or prepayment (collectively, whether through an offer or a required prepayment, an“Collateral Disposition Offer”);provided that the percentage of such Excess Proceeds allocated and offered to the Notes in such Collateral Disposition Offer is at least equal to the percentage

42

of the aggregate principal amount of all Priority Lien Debt represented at such time by the Notes. The offer price in any Collateral Disposition Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, to the date of purchase, prepayment or redemption, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Collateral Disposition Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Other Offer Notes tendered in such Collateral Disposition Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds allocated to such Notes or Other Offer Notes tendered in such Collateral Disposition Offer, the Collateral Trustee will select the Notes and Other Offer Notespro ratabased on the aggregate principal amounts so tendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased). Upon completion of each Collateral Disposition Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each Collateral Disposition Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof or this Section 4.06, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 3.09 hereof or this Section 4.06 by virtue of such compliance.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lien on any asset constituting Collateral that is or would become Excluded Property shall be automatically released. The Collateral Trustee, in accordance with the Collateral Trust Agreement, will promptly provide any documents or releases reasonably requested by the Company to evidence any such release.

(d) For purposes of this Section 4.06, (x) if the Appraised Value of the Collateral subject to a Disposition hereunder would constitute at least 10% of the Appraised Value of (i) the Europe Routes, Europe Slots and Europe Gates, (ii) the Latin American Routes, Latin American Slots and Latin American Gates or (iii) Specified Slots (in each case, to the extent constituting Collateral and as determined by an Appraisal of such category of Collateral), then such Appraisal shall be performed within 60 days prior to the time of such removal, and (y) for all other Dispositions, any determination of the Appraised Value of the Collateral shall be based on the most recent Appraisal delivered pursuant to Section 4.09(a)(1).

then the Company will pay additional interest on all outstanding Notes (“Special Interest”) in an amount equal to 2.0%per annumof the principal amount of such Notes commencing on the earlier of (a) the date the Company delivers an Officers’ Certificate demonstrating that its Priority Debt Coverage Ratio was less than 1.6 to 1.0, or (b) the date on which the Company was required to deliver such Officers’ Certificate in accordance with this Section 4.10, and continuing until the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate demonstrating, with reasonably detailed calculations, that the Company’s Priority Debt Coverage Ratio was at least 1.6 to 1.0 as of a date subsequent to the applicable Reference Date.

(b) If the Company’s Priority Debt Coverage Ratio is less than 1.6 to 1.0 on any Reference Date, the Company may, within 45 days after such Reference Date (such period, the “Cure Period”):

(1) pledge additional assets as Cure Collateral under the Security Documents to secure Priority Lien Obligations and Junior Lien Obligations and such Cure Collateral will be included in the calculation of Appraised Value as of such Reference Date; and/or

(2) redeem, repay, prepay, repurchase or otherwise retire Priority Lien Debt, including by redeeming Notes pursuant to any available optional redemption provisions of this Indenture and such redeemed, repaid, prepaid, repurchased or otherwise retired Priority Lien Debt will not be included in the calculation of Appraised Value as of such Reference Date.

46

(c) If Special Interest would be payable on an interest payment date within the Cure Period, the Company may delay the payment of Special Interest until the following interest payment date (a “Cure Election”). If, after the pledge of Cure Collateral and/or any redemption, repayment, prepayment, repurchase or other retirement of Priority Lien Debt during the Cure Period contemplated by Section 4.10(b) and the recalculations of the Appraised Value of the Collateral pursuant Section 4.10(b), the Company’s Priority Debt Coverage Ratio as of the applicable Reference Date would have been at least 1.6 to 1.0, then the Company will be deemed to have a Priority Debt Coverage Ratio of at least 1.6 to 1.0 as of such Reference Date, and no Special Interest will accrue with respect to such Reference Date. If the Company utilizes its Cure Election and fails to pledge Cure Collateral or redeem or otherwise retire such debt during such Cure Period, Special Interest will be payable from the date specified in Section 4.10(a) on the next succeeding applicable interest payment date.

(d) Special Interest payable pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.10 will be calculated and paid in the same manner as regular interest is calculated and paid under this Indenture and all references to payments of interest will be deemed to refer to Special Interest, if applicable.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company’s failure to maintain a Priority Debt Coverage Ratio in excess of 1.6 to 1.0 will not be deemed to constitute an Event of Default for purposes of clause (4) under Section 6.01 hereof.

Section 4.11Regulatory Cooperation.

In connection with any foreclosure, collection, sale or other enforcement of Liens granted to the Collateral Trustee under the Security Documents, the Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, cooperate in good faith with the Collateral Trustee or its designee in obtaining all regulatory licenses, consents and other governmental approvals necessary or (in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Trustee or its designee) desirable to conduct all aviation operations with respect to the Collateral and will, at the request of the Collateral Trustee and in good faith, continue to operate and manage the Collateral and maintain all applicable regulatory licenses with respect to the Collateral until such time as the Collateral Trustee or its designee obtain such licenses, consents and approvals, and at such time the Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, cooperate in good faith with the transition of the aviation operations with respect to the Collateral to any new aviation operator (including, without limitation, the Collateral Trustee or its designee).

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

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.

Section 6.05Control by Majority.

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee. However, the Trustee may withhold from Holders of Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest.

Section 6.06Limitation on Suits.

Section 6.07Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Note (including Special Interest, if any), on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder;provided that a Holder shall not have the right to institute any such suit for the enforcement of payment if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this Indenture upon any property subject to such Lien.

Section 6.08Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as Trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Special Interest, if any) remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest (including Special Interest, if any) on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders of Notes may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

ARTICLE 8

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

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

Section 8.02Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

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

58

(2) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof;

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

(4) this Article 8.

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

Section 8.03Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11 and 4.12 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders of Notes (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(7) hereof will not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

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

(1) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of Notes, cash in U.S. dollars,non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm, or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Special Interest, if any) on, the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date;

(2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming 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 Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that, the Holders of Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

59

(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(4) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness), and the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings);

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture and the agreements governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound;

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

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

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

Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money andnon-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest (including Special Interest, if any), but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash ornon-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money ornon-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

60

Section 8.06Repayment to Company.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on (including Special Interest, if any), any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest (including Special Interest, if any) has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease;provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

Section 8.07Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars ornon-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or Governmental Authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be;provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including Special Interest, if any) on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 9

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

(1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

(2) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes;

(3) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s obligations to the Holders of Notes in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets;

(4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder;

61

(5) to conform the text of any of the Note Documents to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum, to the extent that such provision in that “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of such Note Documents, as determined in good faith by an officer of the Company and set forth in an Officers’ Certificate to that effect;

(6) to enter into additional or supplemental Security Documents or provide for additional Collateral;

(7) to make, complete or confirm any grant of Collateral permitted or required by this Indenture or any of the Security Documents or to release Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents; or

(8) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture as of the date of this Indenture.

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee will join with the Company in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Trustee will be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.02With Consent of Holders of Notes.

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 3.09, 4.06 and 4.08 hereof) and the Notes with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Section 2.08 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02.

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, each of the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee will join with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s and/or the Collateral Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee and/or the Collateral Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.

62

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

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company will mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by anon-consenting Holder):

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

(2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes (except as provided above with respect to Sections 3.09, 4.06 and 4.08 hereof);

(3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest or Special Interest, on any Note;

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

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

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

(7) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Sections 3.09, 4.06 and 4.08 hereof); or

(8) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.

Any amendment to, or waiver of, the provisions of this Indenture or any Security Document that has the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens securing the Notes will require the consent of holders of at least 75% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding.

Section 9.03Revocation and Effect of Consents.

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

63

Section 9.04Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

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

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

Section 9.05Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee will sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee. The Company may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors of the Company approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, each of the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.02 hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

64

(2) in respect of 10.01(1)(b), no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and any similar deposit relating to other Indebtedness, in each case, the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound (other than with respect to the borrowing of funds to be applied concurrently to make the deposit required to effect such satisfaction and discharge and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and in each case the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings);

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

Section 10.02Application of Trust Money.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest (including Special Interest, if any) for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 10.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or Governmental Authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof;provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including Special Interest, if any) on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

The Company consents and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Security Documents, as the same may be in effect from time to time, and agrees to perform its obligations thereunder in accordance therewith. The Company will deliver to the Trustee copies of all documents delivered to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to the Security Documents, and will do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be required by the provisions of the Security Documents, to assure and confirm to the Collateral Trustee the security interest in the Collateral contemplated by the Security Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Notes. The Company will take, and will cause its Subsidiaries to take, any and all actions reasonably required to cause the Security Documents to create and maintain, as security for the Priority Lien Obligations, a valid and enforceable perfected Lien in and on all the Collateral in favor of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of Notes, holders of other Priority Lien Obligations, to the extent required by, with the Lien priority required under, and subject to the qualifications set forth within, the Secured Debt Documents.

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