ARTICLE II

THE SECURITIES

SECTION 2.01. Form and Dating. Provisions relating to the Securities are set forth in Appendix A attached hereto (“Appendix A”), which is hereby incorporated in, and expressly made part of, this Indenture. The Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1 to Appendix A, in the case of the 144A Global Securities, substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.2 to Appendix A, in the case of Securities acquired by certain institutional accredited investors within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, respectively, each of which form is hereby incorporated in, and expressly made a part of, this Indenture. The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which

the Company is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company). Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Securities set forth in Appendix A are part of the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 2.02. Execution and Authentication. An Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be valid nevertheless.

A Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee signs manually or by facsimile the certificate of authentication on the Security. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.

The Trustee, upon a written order of the Company signed by an Officer of the Company, together with the other documents required by Sections 13.02 and 13.03, shall authenticate Securities for original issue on the Issue Date in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $53,836,742.98. Such written order of the Company shall specify the amount of Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the issue of Securities is to be authenticated. For the avoidance of doubt, no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in order for the Trustee to authenticate Securities for original issuance on the Issue Date or PIK Securities for issuance in connection with any Interest Payment Date.

In connection with the payment of PIK Interest in respect of the Securities (including the PIK Securities), the Company shall be entitled, without the consent of the Holders, to increase the outstanding principal amount of the Securities or issue additional Securities (the “PIK Securities”) under this Indenture on the same terms and conditions as the Securities issued on the Issue Date (other than the issuance dates and the date from which interest will accrue). The Securities and any PIK Securities subsequently issued under this Indenture shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase.

Each Global Security will represent such of the outstanding Securities as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions, transfers of Securities, conversions and payments of PIK Interest. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby will be made by the Trustee.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Securities. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.

SECTION 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent.

If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate reasonable compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.06. The Company may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the Holders. The Company or any of its Affiliates incorporated or organized within The United States of America may act as Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or transfer agent.

The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent in connection with the Securities.

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

SECTION 2.04. Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust. Subject to Section 2.11, prior to each due date of the principal of and interest on any Security, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders of Securities or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. If the Company or any of its Affiliates acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.

SECTION 2.05. Lists of Holders of Securities. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders of Securities. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each interest payment date with respect to Securities and at such other times as the Trustee may reasonably request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders of Securities.

SECTION 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. The Securities shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Security for registration of transfer. When a Security is presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar, if any, with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of this Indenture (including Appendices A, B and C hereto) are met. When Securities are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar, if any, with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met.

Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, a Security may be transferred only to the Depositary or to any other Person if both (i) such Person is a Qualified Purchaser and (ii) either such transfer is (x) to a QIB in compliance with Rule 144A or (y) an Institutional Accredited Investor.

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

Neither the Trustee nor any agent of the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

SECTION 2.07. Replacement Securities. If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee or either the Company or the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of evidence of authentication in accordance with Section 2.02, shall authenticate a replacement Security if the Trustee’s requirements for replacement of Securities are met. 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 Security is replaced. The Trustee and the Company each may charge such Holder for their expenses in replacing such Security.

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

SECTION 2.08. Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding.

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code) in whose hands such Securities are valid obligations of the Company.

If the Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, then on and after that date such Securities (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

SECTION 2.09. Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities and deliver them in exchange for temporary Securities.

SECTION 2.10. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and dispose of (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation in accordance with its retention policy then in effect, unless the Company directs the Trustee in writing to deliver canceled Securities to the Company. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 2.11. Payment of Interest. Interest shall accrue on the Securities and any past due interest amounts thereon and shall be payable in cash quarterly in arrears at the rate of 12% per annum on each Interest Payment Date, or if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day, to Holders of record of the Securities on the Record Date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. Subject to Sections 2.14 and 4.12, the Trustee shall pay the amount specified in the Interest and Principal Payment Certification from the Distribution Account to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date. To the extent (i) the funds received by the Company pursuant to Section 2.03(a) of the MBIA Credit Agreement

are insufficient to pay interest on the Securities in cash on any date on which interest is due and payable pursuant to this Section 2.11 and (ii) no Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the MBIA Facility has occurred and is continuing, the Company may elect to pay interest in the amount of any such insufficiency in kind by treating such amount as PIK Interest; provided that if the Company shall elect to treat such amount as PIK Interest, or a combination of cash payment and PIK Interest, the payment of cash, if any, and PIK Interest shall be applied pro rata to all Holders of Securities. If the Company elects to pay interest by treating such amounts as PIK Interest as aforesaid, the Company shall so specify in the Interest and Principal Payment Certification which shall be delivered to the Trustee by no later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the third Business Day prior to the Interest Payment Date on which the respective interest payment is due and payable, which certification shall specify the amount of interest that will be payable in cash, if any, and in the form of PIK Interest. Upon such election, the outstanding principal amount of the Securities will be so increased or PIK Securities in the amount of interest specified shall be issued, as applicable. Interest shall accrue and be payable on the PIK Interest. If the Company shall issue PIK Securities as aforesaid by increasing the outstanding principal amount of such Securities, at any time or from time to time, the Company shall not be required to issue, and the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate, additional physical Securities, and the outstanding physical Securities may be deemed to represent all such PIK Securities pro rata.

SECTION 2.12. Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of principal, interest or any other amount on the Securities, including any Make-Whole Premium, or any other payment due and owing under the Note Documents, or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as such Event of Default is continuing, the Company shall pay defaulted interest, subject to Section 2.11, at the rate of 5.00% in excess of the rate which would have been payable if such overdue interest had, during the period of non-payment, constituted an outstanding amount of the Securities (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Company may pay the defaulted interest on a payment date to the persons who are Holders of Securities on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than ten days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) will send to each Holder of Securities a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

SECTION 2.13. CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, etc. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (in each case if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption 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 and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall advise the Trustee in writing of any change in any “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs or “Common Code” numbers applicable to the Securities.

SECTION 2.14. Claims Under Insurance Policy.

(a) If, by 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the second Business Day preceding any Interest Payment Date or at Maturity relating to the Securities, there are not sufficient funds in the Distribution Account to pay all principal and interest payable in cash by the Company on such Interest Payment Date as set forth in the Interest and Principal Payment Certification and the Trustee has not received a notice from the Company electing to pay PIK Interest pursuant to Section 2.11, the Trustee shall deliver to the Collateral Agent, the Insurer and the Holders by facsimile or other electronic transmission a written notice identifying such deficiency and setting forth the amount of such deficiency (a “Deficiency

Notice”) by no later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the first Business Day preceding the date such principal and interest becomes due. In the event that there is such a deficiency and the Trustee delivers a Deficiency Notice, the Trustee shall furnish to the Insurer a completed Notice of Claim (as defined in clause (b) of this Section 2.14) in the amount of the Insurance Policy Claim Amount. Any amounts paid by the Insurer to the Trustee shall be deposited into the Distribution Account and shall be paid by the Trustee or the Paying Agent to Holders in respect of the applicable principal and/or interest payment in accordance with the Interest and Principal Payment Certification, in each case, on the later of (i) the related Interest Payment Date and (ii) the Business Day received.

(b) Any notice delivered by the Trustee to the Insurer pursuant to Section 2.14(a) shall (i) be in the form attached as Exhibit A to the Insurance Policy, (ii) specify the Insurance Policy Claim Amount claimed under the Insurance Policy and (iii) constitute a “Notice” under the Insurance Policy (such notice, a “Notice of Claim”). In accordance with the provisions of the Insurance Policy, the Insurer is required to pay to the Trustee the Insurance Policy Claim Amount properly claimed thereunder on the applicable Insured Payment Date. Any payments made by the Insurer to the Trustee under the Insurance Policy shall be applied solely to the scheduled payment of the Securities in accordance with the Interest and Principal Payment Certification, and for no other purpose.

(c) The Trustee shall (i) receive in trust for the benefit of each Holder any Insurance Policy Claim Amount from the Insurer and (ii) distribute the same in accordance with Section 2.14(a) above. Any and all Insurance Policy Claim Amounts disbursed by the Trustee from claims made under the Insurance Policy shall not be considered payment by the Company with respect to such Securities, and shall not discharge the obligations of the Company with respect thereto. The Insurer shall, to the extent it makes any payment with respect to the Securities, become subrogated to the rights of the recipients of such payments to the extent of such payments. Subject to and conditioned upon any payment with respect to the Securities by or on behalf of the Insurer, the Insurer shall be entitled to all rights to the payment of interest or principal with respect to the Securities which are then due for payment to the extent of all payments made by the Insurer, and, so long as the Holders (other than the Company or any Affiliate and the Insurer) have received 100% of the principal amount of the Securities plus the Make-Whole Premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and any other payment then due and owing under the Note Documents, the Insurer may exercise any option, vote, right, power or the like with respect to the Securities to the extent that it has made payment pursuant to the Insurance Policy. To evidence such subrogation, the Trustee shall note the Insurer’s rights as subrogee upon the register of Holders upon receipt from the Insurer of proof of payment by the Insurer. The foregoing subrogation shall in all cases be subject to the rights of the Holders to receive all Insured Amounts in respect of the Securities.

(d) The Trustee shall keep a complete and accurate record of all funds deposited by the Insurer into the Distribution Account and distributed to the Holders with respect to the Insurance Policy and the allocation of such funds to payment of interest on and principal paid in respect of any Security. Upon the reasonable request of the Insurer, the Insurer or its authorized agents shall be permitted (i) to inspect the books and records of the Trustee as they may relate to the Securities, the Note Documents, or the transactions relating to the foregoing (including, without limitation, access to information reasonably required) and (ii) to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company with the independent accountants of the Company.

(e) The Trustee shall be entitled to enforce on behalf of the Holders the obligations of the Insurer under the Insurance Policy.

SECTION 2.15. Persons Deemed Owner. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Security, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee, or the Insurer may treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of

receiving payments of principal of and interest, if any on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and none of the Company, the Insurer, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 2.16. Rule 144A Information. The Company shall furnish to each Holder of the Securities, and any prospective purchasers designated by any Holder, upon request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4). For purposes of this Section 2.16 only, Holder shall include any beneficial holder of a Security, identified as such to the Company by a statement from a bank, broker or other nominees that holds the Securities for the beneficial holder in “street name,” or in any other manner acceptable to the Company.

SECTION 2.17. Investment Company Act Procedures. For so long as any Securities are Outstanding, the Company shall do the following:

(a) Notification. Each periodic report sent or caused to be sent by the Company to the Holders, which should in no event be less frequently than annually, will include a notice to the following effect:

“The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that all holders of the outstanding securities of the Company be “Qualified Purchasers” (“Qualified Purchasers”) as defined in Section 2(a)(51)(A) of the 1940 Act and related rules. Under the rules, the Company must have a “reasonable belief” that all holders of its outstanding securities, including transferees, are Qualified Purchasers or entities owned exclusively by Qualified Purchasers. Consequently, all sales and resales of the Securities must be made solely to purchasers that are Qualified Purchasers or entities owned exclusively by Qualified Purchasers. Each purchaser of a Security (or a beneficial interest therein) will be deemed (or required, as the case may be) to represent at the time of purchase that: (i) the purchaser is a Qualified Purchaser or an entity owned exclusively by Qualified Purchasers; (ii) the purchaser is (x) a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“QIB”) or (y) solely in the case of Notes issued in the form of certificated Notes, a Person that is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act or any entity in which all of the equity owners come within such paragraphs (an “IAI”)); (iii) the purchaser is acting for its own account or the account of another Qualified Purchaser meeting the requirements of clause (ii) above; (iv) the purchaser is not formed for the purpose of investing in the Company; (v) the purchaser, and each account for which it is purchasing, will hold and transfer at least the minimum denominations specified herein; and (vi) the purchaser understands that the Company may receive a list of participants holding positions in securities from one or more book-entry depositories. The Securities (or beneficial interests therein) may only be transferred to a transferee who is a both (I) a (x) Qualified Purchaser or (y) entity owned exclusively by Qualified Purchasers and (II) a Person meeting the requirements of clause (ii) above and all subsequent transferees are deemed to have made representations (i) through (vi) above.

If, notwithstanding the restrictions on transfer contained therein, the Company determines that any Holder or beneficial owner of an interest in a Security is determined not to have been a Qualified Purchaser at the time of acquisition of such Security or beneficial interest therein, the Company may require, by notice to such Holder or beneficial owner, that such Holder or beneficial owner sell all of its right, title and interest to such Security (or any interest therein) to a Person that is both (x) a (I) Qualified Purchaser or (II) entity owned exclusively by Qualified Purchasers and (y) a Person meeting the requirements of clause (ii) above, with such sale to be effected

within 30 days after notice of such sale requirement is given. If such Holder or beneficial owner fails to effect the transfer required within such 30-day period, (i) the Company (or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Company), without further notice to such Holder or beneficial owner, shall and is hereby irrevocably authorized by such Holder or beneficial owner, to cause its Security or beneficial interest therein to be transferred in a commercially reasonable sale (conducted by the Trustee in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York as applied to securities that are sold on a recognized market or that may decline speedily in value) to a Person that certifies to the Trustee and the Company, in connection with such transfer, that such Person meets the qualifications set forth above and pending such transfer, no further payments will be made in respect of such Security or beneficial interest therein held by such Holder or beneficial owner.”

(b) DTC Actions. The Company will direct DTC to take the following steps in connection with the Global Securities:

(i) The Company will direct DTC to include the marker “3c7” in the DTC 20-character security descriptor and the 48-character additional descriptor for the Global Securities in order to indicate that sales are limited to Qualified Purchasers.

(ii) The Company will direct DTC to cause each physical deliver order ticket that is delivered by DTC to purchasers to contain the 20-character security descriptor. The Company will direct DTC to cause each deliver order ticket that is delivered by DTC to purchasers in electronic form to contain a “3c7” indicator and a related user manual for participants. Such user manual will contain a description of the relevant restrictions imposed by Section 3(c)(7).

(iii) On or prior to the Issue Date, the Company will instruct DTC to send a Section 3(c)(7) Notice to all DTC participants in connection with the offering of the Global Securities.

(iv) In addition to the obligations of the Registrar set forth in Section 2.03, the Company will from time to time (upon the request of the Trustee) make a request to DTC to deliver to the Company a list of all DTC participants holding an interest in the Global Securities.

(v) The Company will cause each CUSIP number obtained for a Global Security to have a fixed field containing “3c7” and “144A” indicators, as applicable, attached to such CUSIP number.

(c) Bloomberg Screens, etc. The Company will from time to time request all third-party vendors to include on screens maintained by such vendors appropriate legends regarding Rule 144A and Section 3(c)(7) under the Investment Company Act restrictions on the Global Securities. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will request that each third-party vendor include the following legends on each screen containing information about the Securities:

(i) Bloomberg.

(1) “Iss’d Under 144A/3c7”, to be stated in the “Note Box” on the bottom of the “Security Display” page describing the Global Securities;

(3) a link to an “Additional Security Information” page on such indicator stating that the Global Securities are being offered in reliance on the exception from registration under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 to persons that are both (i) “Qualified Institutional Buyers” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act and (ii) “Qualified Purchasers” as defined under Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; and

(4) a statement on the “Disclaimer” page for the Global Securities that the Global Securities will not be and have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that the Company has not been registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and that the Global Securities may only be offered or sold in accordance with Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(ii) Reuters.

(1) a “144A – 3c7” notation included in the security name field at the top of the Reuters Instrument Code screen;

(2) a <144A3c7Disclaimer> indicator appearing on the right side of the Reuters Instrument Code screen; and

(3) a link from such <144A3c7Disclaimer> indicator to a disclaimer screen containing the following language: “These Notes may be sold or transferred only to Persons who are both (i) Qualified Institutional Buyers, as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and (ii) “Qualified Purchasers”, as defined under Section 3(c)(7) under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940.”

The Securities and the portions of them that the Trustee selects to be redeemed shall be in minimum principal amounts of $2,000 (or, in the case of Global Securities, $250,000 or less) or a whole multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for

Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the related interest payment date), and such Securities shall be canceled by the Trustee. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder.

SECTION 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to the date of any redemption pursuant to Section 3.07, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on that date other than Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption which have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of Default described in Section 6.01 (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e)) occurs and is continuing then in every such case the Trustee or the Majority Holders, if any, of the Outstanding Securities, may (i) declare the principal amount of all of the Securities and all interest thereon to be due and payable immediately, including the Make-Whole Premium, if any, and any other payments due and owing under the Note Documents, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders) and upon any such declaration such amount (or specified portion thereof) shall become immediately due and payable; (ii) enforce all of the Liens and security interests created pursuant to the Security Documents; (iii) apply any cash Collateral held by the Collateral Agent to the repayment of the Obligations in accordance with Section 6.06; and (iv) exercise all rights and remedies available to it under the Note Documents and applicable law. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e), the principal amount of all of the Securities, all interest thereon, and the Make-Whole Premium, if any, shall automatically and immediately become due and payable.

For the avoidance of doubt, upon an acceleration pursuant to this Section 6.02, the Make-Whole Premium shall be calculated as of the date of such acceleration and shall be due and owing following such an acceleration. The Company will pay the Make-Whole Premium, as compensation to the Holders for the loss of their investment opportunity and not as a penalty, whether or not an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e) has occurred and (if an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e) has occurred) without regard to whether the event causing such Event of Default is voluntary or involuntary, or whether payment occurs pursuant to a motion, plan of reorganization, or otherwise, and without regard to whether the Securities and other Notes Obligations are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether or not by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. The Company agrees that payment of the Make-Whole Premium is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE MAKE-WHOLE PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Company expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Make-Whole Premium is reasonable and the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Make-Whole Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between Holders and the Company giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Make-Whole Premium; and (D) the Company shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. The Company expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Make-Whole Premium to the Trustee for the ratable benefit of the Holders as herein described is a material inducement to Holders to purchase the Securities.

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities has been made, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article 6, the Majority Holders, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(a) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay in U.S. dollars,

(i) all overdue interest, if any, on all Outstanding Securities,

(ii) all unpaid principal of (and premium including the Make-Whole Premium, if any, on) any Outstanding Securities which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, interest, if any, on such unpaid principal (and premium including the Make-Whole Premium, if any) and all other amounts due and owing under the Note Documents at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and any other amounts due and owing under the Note Documents,

(iii) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue interest, if any, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and

(iv) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and

(b) all Events of Default with respect to Securities other than the non-payment of amounts of principal of (or premium including the Make-Whole Premium, if any, on) or interest on Securities which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.13.

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

Upon the Trustee providing any declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof pursuant to this Section 6.02 with respect to Securities all or part of which is represented by a Global Security, a record date shall automatically and without any other action by any Person be set for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities entitled to join such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, which record date shall be the close of business on the date the Trustee shall have provided such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be. The Holders of Outstanding Securities on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the day which is 90 days after such record date (or their duly appointed agents), such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may by, shall automatically and without any action by any Person be cancelled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder (or duly appointed agent thereof) from giving, before or after the expiration of such 90-day period, a declaration of acceleration, or a rescission and annulment of any such declaration, contrary to or different from a declaration previously given by a Holder, or from giving, after the expiration of such period, a declaration identical to a declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, as the case may be, that has been cancelled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in any of which events a new record date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.02.

SECTION 6.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The Company covenants that if:

(a) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of two Business Days, or

(b) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium including the Make-Whole Premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof and on any date required under Section 3.08, or any other payment due and owing under the Note Documents, the Company, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium including the Make-Whole Premium, if any) and interest, if any, and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal (and premium including the Make-Whole Premium, if any) and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, 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.

If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name, as Trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities 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 6.04. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal, premium including the Make-Whole Premium, if any, or interest, if any, or and any other payment due and owing under the Note Documents) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium including the Make-Whole Premium, if any) and interest, if any, and any other payment due and owing under the Note Documents, owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

(b) 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 payment 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 7.06.

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 Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 6.05. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. 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, disbursements 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 6.06. Application of Money Collected. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, any money collected by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Article 6 (including upon any realization of any Lien upon Collateral) shall, subject to the terms of the Security Documents, 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 including the Make-Whole Premium, if any) or interest, if any, 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 or the Collateral Agent under Section 7.06;

SECOND: To the payment of all amounts due the Majority Holders under Section 7.06;

THIRD: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of (and premium including the Make-Whole Premium, if any) and interest, if any, 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 including the Make-Whole Premium, if any) and interest, if any, respectively; and

FOURTH: The balance, if any, to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

SECTION 6.07. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, the Securities, or the other Note Documents, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder or thereunder, unless:

(a) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities;

(b) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

(c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(d) the Trustee for 30 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

(e) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Majority Holders;

it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing themselves of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such use by a Holder affects, disturbs or prejudices the rights of other Holders or obtains or seeks to obtain priority or preference over such other Holders or enforces any right under this Indenture). Nothing in this section 6.07 shall be construed as limiting the rights of otherwise qualified Holders to petition a court for the removal of a Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof.

SECTION 6.08. Unconditional Contractual Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. Subject to the following sentence, notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the contractual right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment, as provided herein and in such Security of the principal of (and premium including the Make-Whole Premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Security on the Stated Maturity or any Maturities (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such contractual rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment to, or deletion or waiver of any of the covenants described in Article 4 of this Indenture or in any other Note Document or any action taken by the Company not prohibited hereunder shall be deemed to impair or affect any rights of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, and premium, interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on, the Securities.

SECTION 6.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 6.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 2.07, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 6.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities 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 6 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.

SECTION 6.12. Control by Holders. The Majority Holders shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Outstanding Securities, provided that in each case (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law, this Indenture or the Intercreditor Agreement and (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

Upon receipt by the Trustee of any such direction with respect to Securities all or part of which is represented by a Global Security, a record date shall automatically and without any further action by any Person be set for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities entitled to join in such direction, which record date shall be the close of business on the day the Trustee shall have received such direction. The Holders of Outstanding Securities on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such direction shall have become effective by virtue of Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities on such record date (or their duly appointed agents) having joined therein on or prior to the 90th day after such record date, such direction shall automatically and without any action by any Person be cancelled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder (or a duly appointed agent of a Holder) from giving, before or after the expiration of such 90-day period, a direction contrary to or different from a direction previously given by a Holder, or from giving, after the expiration of such period, a direction identical to a direction that has been cancelled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in any of which events a new record date in respect thereof shall be set pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.12.

SECTION 6.13. Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Section 6.02, the Majority Holders may on behalf of the Holders of all the Outstanding Securities waive any past Default or Event of Default hereunder, except a default

(1) in the payment of the principal of (or premium including the Make-Whole Premium, if any) or interest on any Security or the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, or

(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 10 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected.

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to waive any past Default or Event of Default hereunder. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date (or their duly designated agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to waive any such default hereunder, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that unless such majority in principal amount shall have been obtained prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such waiver previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect.

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 and the other Note Documents; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 6.14. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, 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, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by the Majority Holders, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium including the Make-Whole Premium, if any) or interest on any Security on or after the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the redemption date).

SECTION 6.15. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company 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 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 (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; provided that this Section shall not prohibit the Company from exercising any rights it may have under this Indenture to contest any actions taken by the Trustee pursuant to this Section.

SECTION 6.16. Subrogation Rights of the Insurer. The Insurer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders as provided in the Insurance Agreement.

SECTION 6.17. Intercreditor Agreement. All rights of the Trustee and the Holders of Securities to declare an Event of Default, exercise remedies, and receive payments or proceeds of the Collateral under this Indenture are subject to, and limited by, the Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 7.01. Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.

(i) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(n) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture.

(o) The permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties.

SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Section 7.09.

SECTION 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Securities or any of the Note Documents, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company or recital in this Indenture, or any statement in any Note Document or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Securities or in the Securities other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs with respect to the Securities and is continuing and written notice of such Default has been received by the Trustee as specified in Section 7.02(j), the Trustee shall send to each Holder a notice of the Default within 5 Business Days after such written notice of it is received by a Trust Officer of the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on any Security, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders.

SECTION 7.06. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company agrees to: (a) pay to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Loan Administrator, from time to time as agreed to between the Company, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Loan Administrator, reasonable compensation for its services as has been agreed to by the Company, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Loan Administrator, which compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust; (b) reimburse the Trustee, Collateral Agent and Loan Administrator upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including, but not limited to, costs of monitoring the Collateral, costs of monitoring the Company’s compliance with the Note Documents and the MBIA Facility (provided that the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Loan Administrator shall have no duty to monitor), costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services (such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s, Collateral Agent’s and Loan Administrator’s agents, counsel, accountants, financial advisors, and experts); (c) indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless the Trustee (in its individual capacity and Trustee capacities), the Collateral Agent (in its capacity as Collateral Agent), the Loan Administrator (in its capacity as Loan Administrator) and their respective directors, officers and agents against any and all loss, damage, claims, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture and the trusts thereunder and the performance of

its duties hereunder or any of the Note Documents (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company or defending itself against any claim whether asserted by any Holder or the Company, or liability in connection with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder) and (d) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, reimburse the Majority Holders for reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursement and advances of the Majority Holders’ counsel and financial advisors. The Trustee, Collateral Agent and Loan Administrator shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee, Collateral Agent or Loan Administrator to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder or any of the Note Documents, except to the extent the Company has been prejudiced by such failure. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee, Collateral Agent and Loan Administrator may have a single separate counsel for all of them (except to the extent that representation of all of the Trustee, Collateral Agent and Loan Administrator by a single counsel would be improper due to conflict of interest, in which case each of them may retain separate counsel) and the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have been incurred by the Trustee, Collateral Agent or Loan Administrator through the Trustee’s, Collateral Agent’s or Loan Administrator’s, as applicable, own willful misconduct or gross negligence.

To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.06, the Trustee, Collateral Agent and Loan Administrator shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, Collateral Agent or Loan Administrator other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Securities.

The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee, Collateral Agent or Loan Administrator. When the Trustee, Collateral Agent or Loan Administrator incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(e) with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law or any similar federal, provincial, territorial or state law for the relief of debtors.

SECTION 7.07. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company. The Majority Holders may remove the Trustee with respect to the Securities by so notifying with 31 days prior notice to the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Company shall remove the Trustee if:

(a)

the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09;

(b)

the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

(c)

a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(d)

the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed by the Company, or is removed by the Majority Holders and such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The

successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders of the Outstanding Securities. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.06.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of 20% in principal amount of the Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.06 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

SECTION 7.08. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture.

SECTION 7.09. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. (a) There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be:

(i) a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, or of any state or territory thereof, or of the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, or

(ii) a corporation or other person organized and doing business under the laws of a foreign government permitted to act as a Trustee pursuant to a rule, regulation or other order of the Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, and subject to supervision or examination by authority of such foreign government or a political subdivision thereof substantially equivalent to supervision or examination applicable to United States institutional trustees.

(b) The Trustee shall have at all times a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

SECTION 10.02. With Consent of Holders. Except as provided above in Section 10.01 and below in this Section 10.02, the Company, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent (if applicable) may amend this Indenture and the other Note Documents, with the written consent of the Insurer (unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) solely if such amendment is adverse to the interests of the Insurer, and the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities affected (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Securities) and any past default or compliance with any provisions may also be waived with the written consent of the Insurer (unless an Insurer Default shall have occurred and be continuing) solely if such waiver is adverse to the interest of the Insurer and the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities affected.

If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date or their duly designated agents, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that unless such consent shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such consent previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect.

ARTICLE XI

SECURITY

SECTION 11.01. Security Documents; Additional Collateral.

(a) In order to secure the due and punctual payment of the Notes Obligations, (i) on the Issue Date, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Collateral Grantors have executed Security Documents granting to the Collateral Agent for the benefit (or, where applicable, as direct representative) of the Secured Creditors a perfected Lien in the Collateral, and (ii) after the Issue Date, each other affiliate of the Company that is required to become a Collateral Grantor pursuant to Section 4.17 shall execute and deliver the necessary Security Documents in order to grant to the Collateral Agent a perfected Lien in all assets of such Person which are required to, but do not already, constitute Collateral.

(b) The Company shall cause every Collateral Grantor to from time to time take the actions required by Section 4.17.

SECTION 11.02. Releases of Collateral. The Notes Obligations will no longer be required to be secured by Liens on Collateral and the Liens securing the Notes Obligations will be released:

(a) in whole, upon the payment in full of all Notes Obligations (other than contingent obligations or liabilities for which no claim or demand for payment has been made);

(b) if the Company’s obligations under this Indenture are satisfied and discharged pursuant to Article 9; and

SECTION 11.03. Release Documentation. Upon compliance with the conditions to release of all or any portion of the Collateral set forth in Section 11.02, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee shall forthwith take all necessary action (at the request of and the expense of the Company, accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel that the conditions precedent to such release have been satisfied) to release and re-convey to the applicable Collateral Grantor or the Company the applicable portion of the Collateral that is authorized to be released pursuant to Section 11.02, and shall deliver such Collateral in its possession, if any, to the applicable Collateral Grantor or the Company, including, without limitation, executing and delivering releases and satisfactions wherever required. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any such release undertaken in reliance upon any such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel, and the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to release any such Lien and security interest, or execute and deliver any such instrument of release, satisfaction or termination, unless and until it receives such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel.

SECTION 11.04. Possession and Use of Collateral; No Impairment of the Security Interests.

(a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and subject to the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents, the MBIA Facility and the Company Operating Agreement, each Collateral Grantor will be entitled to freely operate the property and assets constituting the Collateral pledged by it and to receive, invest and dispose of all cash dividends, principal, interest and other payments made upon or with respect to the Collateral pledged by it and to exercise any voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Collateral pledged by it.

(b) No Collateral Grantor shall take any action, or omit to take any action, which action or omission would have the result of impairing the validity, perfection or priority of the security interests in the Collateral created by the Security Documents, (except as expressly set forth in this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, including any action that would result in a Permitted Collateral Lien (as defined in the Security Documents)).

(c) The Collateral Agent will distribute all funds received by it in accordance with the provisions of the Security Documents, and the Trustee will distribute all funds received by it from the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

SECTION 11.05. Collateral Agent. The Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Securities hereby authorize the appointment of the Collateral Agent as the Trustee’s and the Holders’ Collateral Agent under the Security Documents, and the Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Securities hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and to take such action on their behalf under the provisions of the Security Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, the duties of the Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, in the Security Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party and the Intercreditor Agreement or as requested by the Majority

Holders (subject to this Section 11.05), nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder, the Company or any Collateral Grantor, either before or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall have no discretion under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents and shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or direction without the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes or the Trustee, as applicable.

The Trustee is authorized and directed by the Holders and the Holders by acquiring the Securities are deemed to have authorized the Trustee, as applicable, to cause the Collateral Agent to enter into and perform its obligations under the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement. The Collateral Agent is authorized and directed by the Trustee and the Holders and the Holders by acquiring the Securities are deemed to have authorized the Collateral Agent, to (i) enter into the Security Documents to which it is a party and the Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) bind the Trustee and the Holders on the terms as set forth in such Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and (iii) perform and observe its obligations and exercise its rights and powers under such Security Documents, including entering into amendments and other modifications permitted by the terms of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents. Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Security, is deemed to have consented and agreed to the terms of each Security Document and the Intercreditor Agreement, as originally in effect and as amended, restated, replaced or modified from time to time in accordance with its terms or the terms of this Indenture.

The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee or unless a written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default is received by the Collateral Agent at the address specified in Section 13.01, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture. The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee in accordance with Article 6 or the Majority Holders (subject to this Section 11.05).

The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation and makes no representation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders as to the existence, genuineness, value or protection of the Collateral or the sufficiency of any Security Documents, or that the Collateral is owned by any of the Collateral Grantors or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all of the Collateral Grantor’s property constituting Collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Security Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture or any other Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to the Trustee or any Holder as to any of the foregoing. The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall require the Collateral Agent to file financing statements or continuation statements, to record any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or be responsible for perfection or maintaining the perfection of the security interests purported to be created by the Security Documents and such responsibility shall be solely that of the Company.

Each of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee, each in its capacity as such, shall not be liable or responsible for the failure of the Company or any Collateral Grantor to maintain insurance on the Collateral, nor shall it be responsible for any loss due to the insufficiency of such insurance or by reason of the failure of any insurer to pay the full amount of any loss against which it may have insured to the Company or any Collateral Grantor, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any other Person.

The provisions of Article 7, mutatis mutandis, shall apply to the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of such preceding sentence, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents, in the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under mortgages or take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has determined that the Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, unless the Collateral Agent has received security or indemnity from the Holders in an amount and in a form all satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, protecting the Collateral Agent from all such liability. The Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described above if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Company or the Holders to be sufficient.

SECTION 11.06. Replacement of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by so notifying the Company. The Majority Holders may remove Collateral Agent with respect to the Securities by so notifying with 31 days prior notice to the Collateral Agent and may appoint a successor Collateral Agent. The Company shall remove Collateral Agent if:

(a) the Collateral Agent is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

(b) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Collateral Agent or its property; or

If the Collateral Agent resigns or is removed by the Company, or is removed by the Majority Holders and such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Collateral Agent, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Collateral Agent for any reason (the Collateral Agent in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Collateral Agent), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Collateral Agent.

A successor Collateral Agent shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Collateral Agent and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Collateral Agent shall become effective, and the successor Collateral Agent shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Collateral Agent under this Indenture. The successor Collateral Agent shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders of the Securities. The retiring Collateral Agent shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Collateral Agent to the successor Collateral Agent.

If a successor Collateral Agent does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Collateral Agent resigns or is removed, the retiring Collateral Agent or the Holders of 20% in principal amount of the Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent.

SECTION 11.07. Purchaser Protected. No purchaser or grantee of any property or rights purporting to be released from the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent shall be bound to ascertain the authority of the Collateral Agent or Trustee to execute the release or to inquire as to the existence of any conditions herein prescribed for the exercise of such authority so long as the conditions set forth in Section 11.02 have been satisfied.

ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS

SECTION 12.01. Payment of Additional Amounts.

(a) The Company shall pay any amounts due with respect to the Securities without deduction or withholding for any and all present and future withholding taxes, levies, imposts and charges (a “withholding tax”) imposed by or for the account of the United States of America, the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction in which the Company is a resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision or taxing authority of such jurisdiction (the “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. If such deduction or withholding is at any time required, the Company will, to the fullest extent allowed by law (subject to compliance by the holder of a Security with any relevant administrative

requirements), pay additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) in respect of principal amount, redemption price and interest (if any), in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture, as may be necessary so that the net amounts paid to the holder or the Trustee after such deduction or withholding will equal the principal amount, redemption price and interest (if any), on the Securities. However, the Company will not pay any Additional Amounts in the following instances:

(i) if any withholding would not be payable or due but for the fact that (i) the holder of a Security (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary of, member or shareholder of, the holder, if the holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) is a domiciliary, national or resident of, or engaging in business or maintaining a permanent establishment or being physically present in, the Taxing Jurisdiction or otherwise having some present or former connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction other than solely the holding or ownership of the Security or the collection of principal amount, redemption price, repurchase price and interest (if any), in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture, or the enforcement of the Security or (ii) where presentation is required, the Security was presented more than 30 days after the date such payment became due or was provided for, whichever is later;

(ii) if and to the extent the withholding tax is pursuant to the law in effect at the time the holder acquires Securities and the assignor to the holder was not entitled to such Additional Amounts at the time of the holder’s acquisition;

(iii) if any withholding tax would not have been imposed but for the failure to comply with Section 12.01(c), if such compliance is required by statute or by regulation as a precondition to relief or exemption from such withholding tax and such holder or beneficial owner is legally able to so comply;

(iv) if any withholding tax or deduction is required to be made in respect of any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge imposed or withheld pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, as of the date hereof (or any amended or successor version), current or future U.S. Treasury Regulations issued thereunder or any official interpretation thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code (hereinafter “FATCA”); or

(v) any combination of the instances described in the preceding clauses.

(b) If a holder receives a refund of any taxes as to which the Company has paid Additional Amounts pursuant to this Section 12.01 (including in respect of the payment of Additional Amounts pursuant to this Section 12.01), such holder shall pay to the Company an amount equal to such refund, net of all out of pocket expenses (including taxes) of the holder and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund). The Company shall repay to the holder the amount paid over pursuant to this clause (b) (plus any penalties, interest, or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) in the event that the holder is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority.

(i) Each non-U.S. holder shall (w) on or prior to the date such non-U.S. holder becomes a holder hereunder, (x) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (c) and (y) from time to time if reasonably requested by the Company or the Trustee, provide the Company, the Trustee

and the Paying Agent with two properly completed and duly executed originals of one of the following, as applicable: (A) Forms W-8ECI (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business), W-8BEN-E or other applicable W-8 Form (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under an income tax treaty) and/or W-8IMY (together with appropriate forms, certifications and supporting statements) or any successor forms, (B) in the case of a non-U.S. holder claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, Form W-8BEN-E or other applicable W-8 Form (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form and a certificate in form and substance acceptable to the Company that such non-U.S. holder is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code or (C) any other applicable document prescribed by the IRS that enables the Company to determine its withholding and reporting obligations.

(ii) Each U.S. holder shall (w) on or prior to the date such holder becomes a holder hereunder, (x) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (ii) and (y) from time to time if requested by the Company, provide the Company with two completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that the holder is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax) or any successor form.

(iii) If a payment made to a holder under this Indenture would be subject to U.S. withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such holder were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such holder shall deliver to the Company, the Trustee and the Paying Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company, the Trustee or the Paying Agent, such documentation and information prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation and information reasonably requested by the Company, the Trustee or the Paying Agent as may be necessary for the Company, the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as applicable, to comply with their respective obligations under FATCA, to determine that such holder has or has not complied with its obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this Section 12.01(c), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Issue Date.

(a) The Company, for itself and its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and the Trustee, for itself and its successors and assigns, likewise covenants and agrees, that the Subordinated Obligations, and the payment from whatever source (including, but not limited to, the Insurance Policy) of the principal of, and interest (including PIK Interest, if any) on, the Securities, are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Obligations in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement.

In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any person as a holder of Senior Obligations to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Section 14.01, the Trustee may request such person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Obligations held by such person, as to the extent to which such person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, and as to other facts pertinent to the rights of such person under this Section 14.01, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such person pending judicial determination as to the right of such person to receive such payment.

(c) Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Section 14.01, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceeding affecting the affairs of the Company is pending or upon a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in a payment or distribution under this Section 14.01, the holders of the Senior Obligations and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto.

(d) Each Holder of Securities, by his or her acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the Trustee in his or her behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Section 14.01 and appoints the Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 14.01 or any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee, or the taking of any other action by the Trustee, unless and until Trustee shall have received at the Corporate Trust Office written notice thereof from the Company, any Holder of the Securities, any paying agent of the Company or the holder or representative of any class of Senior Obligations.

(f) The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Section 14.01 with respect to any Senior Obligations at the time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Obligations, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or in the Securities of any series, nothing in this Section 14.01 shall apply to or limit claims of or payment to the Trustee under or pursuant to Article VII.

(g) With respect to holders of Senior Obligations, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Section 14.01, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.

The Company shall make all payments in respect of a certificated Security (including principal, premium and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on a certificated Security shall be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion). Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to and as provided in Section 2.11 of the Indenture are insufficient to pay interest on the Securities in cash, the Company may elect to pay any such shortfall by increasing the principal amount of this Security or issuing new Securities in accordance with Section 2.02 of the Indenture. The Company must elect the form of interest payment by delivering a notice to the Trustee on or before the third Business Day prior to the Interest Payment Date, a copy of which shall promptly be forwarded by the Trustee to the Holders. On any Interest Payment Date with respect to which the Company has elected to pay interest by increasing the principal amount of this Security, the principal amount of this Security shall be so increased.

PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, a national banking association duly organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America (the “Trustee”), shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice. The Company or any of its Affiliates incorporated or organized within The United States of America may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.

14.

NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.

WHEREAS, the Grantor, the Trustee and the Secured Party are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Subordinated Indenture, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Indenture”; capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Indenture), pursuant to which the Grantor shall issue $53,836,742.98 aggregate principal amount of 12% Subordinated Secured Notes due 2020 (the “Amended Notes”).

WHEREAS, the Grantor and the Secured Party are parties to that certain Security Agreement, dated as of January 10, 2017 (the “Original Security Agreement”), pursuant to which, in order to induce the Holders (as defined in the Original Indenture) to purchase the Original Notes, the Grantor granted a continuing Lien (as defined in the Original Security Agreement) on the Collateral (as defined in the Original Security Agreement) in order to secure the Obligations (as defined in the Original Security Agreement).

WHEREAS, the Grantor and the Secured Party desire to amend and restate the Original Security Agreement in order to induce the Holders to accept the Amended Notes and the Grantor has agreed to grant a continuing Lien on the Collateral to secure the Obligations (as hereinafter defined). Accordingly, the Grantor hereby agrees as follows:

ARTICLE I SECURITY INTEREST.

SECTION 1.01. Grant of Security. As security for the Obligations (as hereinafter defined), the Grantor hereby delivers, assigns, pledges, sets over and grants to the Secured Party a first priority security interest in, all of its right, title and interest, whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired, in and to any and all items of its personal property described on Exhibit A hereto which is executed by an authorized person of the Grantor, together with all substitutions and replacements thereof and any products and proceeds thereof including any which are described on a supplement hereto in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (the “Collateral”).

SECTION 1.02. Security for Obligations. This Agreement secures the payment of all now existing or hereafter arising obligations of the Grantor to the Secured Creditors, including the Notes Obligations, whether primary or secondary, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, joint or several, secured or unsecured, due or not, liquidated or unliquidated, arising by operation of law or otherwise, whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise (including, without limitation, interest, fees, costs or other payments on the Obligations paid or accrued after the commencement of an Insolvency

Proceeding and whether or not such claims are deemed allowed or recoverable in any Insolvency Proceeding, and payment of or for adequate protection pursuant to any Insolvency Proceeding), together with all costs of collection or enforcement, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in any collection efforts or in any action or proceeding (all such obligations being the “Obligations”).

SECTION 1.03. Grantor Remains Liable. This Agreement shall not affect the Grantor’s liability to perform all of its duties and obligations under the transactions giving rise to the Obligations. The exercise by the Secured Party of any of the rights hereunder shall not release the Grantor from any of its duties or obligations under the transactions giving rise to the Obligations, which shall remain unchanged as if this Agreement had not been executed. The Secured Party shall not have any obligation or liability under the transactions giving rise to the Obligations by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

SECTION 1.04. Supplement. From time to time the Grantor may deliver, assign, pledge, set over and grant to the Secured Party for the benefit of the Secured Creditors a first priority security interest in any additional items of personal property by delivering a supplement hereto in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto describing such items; thereafter, all such items of personal property shall be “Collateral” hereinafter and subject to the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 1.05. Continuing Agreement. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the Obligations.

ARTICLE II Title; Liens and Encumbrances. The Grantor represents and warrants that it is (or to the extent that this Agreement states that the Collateral is to be acquired after the date hereof, will be) the record and beneficial owner of, having (or to the extent that this Agreement states that the Collateral is to be acquired after the date hereof, will have) good and marketable title to, the Collateral pledged by it hereunder, free of any and all Liens or options in favor of, or claims of, any other person, except the Liens created by this Agreement, and the Grantor will promptly notify the Secured Party of any such other Lien or claim made or asserted against the Collateral and the Grantor will defend the Collateral against any such Lien or other claim.

ARTICLE III State of Organization or Residence; Legal Name. The Grantor represents and warrants to the Secured Party as follows:

SECTION 3.01. The Grantor’s state of organization is the State of Delaware. The Grantor’s chief executive office or principal office, if it is not a registered organization, as such term is defined under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York as it may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time (the “UCC”), is set forth on Schedule I hereto. The Grantor shall promptly notify the Secured Party of any change in the foregoing representations.

SECTION 3.02. The Grantor’s registered or legal name is as set forth on Schedule I hereto. The Grantor currently uses, and during the last five (5) years has used, no other names including business or trade names, except as set forth on Schedule I hereto. The Grantor shall not change such name without providing the Secured Party thirty (30) days’ prior written notice.

SECTION 3.03. The grant of the security interest in the Collateral, combined with the filing of financing statements, the execution of control agreements, the execution of assignments, and/or possession of the Collateral, each as appropriate, is effective to vest in the Secured Party a valid and perfected first priority security interest, superior to the rights of any person in and to the Collateral as set forth herein.

ARTICLE IV Perfection of Security Interest. . The Grantor shall take any and all actions and make all filings (including the filing of UCC financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto) reasonably required to create and maintain, as security for the Obligations, a valid and enforceable perfected Lien and security interest in and on all of the Collateral (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) in favor of the Secured Party for the benefit of the Secured Creditors. The Grantor authorizes the Secured Party to file all such UCC financing statements and amendments thereto pursuant to the UCC or other notices appropriate under applicable law, as the Secured Party may reasonably require, each in form satisfactory to the Secured Party. Such financing statements and amendments may contain a description of the Collateral as set forth herein or in any generic manner and may describe the Collateral as “all assets” or words of similar effect. The Secured Party may transfer, withdraw or redeem any funds or other property in each deposit account or securities account constituting Collateral without further consent by the Grantor; provided that the Secured Party will not exercise any of such rights other than during an Event of Default. The Grantor also shall pay all filing or recording costs with respect thereto, and all costs of filing or recording this Agreement or any other agreement or document executed and delivered pursuant hereto or to the Obligations (including the cost of all federal, state or local mortgage, documentary, stamp or other taxes), in each case, in all public offices where filing or recording is necessary or desirable. The Grantor authorizes the Secured Party to take all other actions which the Secured Party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to perfect or otherwise protect the Liens created hereunder and to obtain the benefits of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Intercreditor Agreement, in no event shall the Secured Party be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with respect to, the recording, filing, registering, creation, perfection, protection or maintenance of the security interests or Liens intended to be created by this Agreement (including without limitation the filing or continuation of any UCC financing statement or continuation statements or similar documents or instruments), nor shall the Secured Party be responsible for, and the Secured Party makes no representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness or priority of the security interests or Liens intended to be created hereby. The Grantor shall deliver the original of the MBIA Note (as defined in Exhibit A hereto) to the Secured Party on the date hereof and any replacement or substitutions therefore promptly upon receipt by the Grantor, in each case, endorsed in blank.

ARTICLE V Covenants Relating to Collateral. Until the Obligations shall have been paid in full, and the Indenture shall have terminated, the Grantor covenants and agrees that if the Grantor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any note, any certificate or other equity securities (including, without limitation, any certificate representing a dividend or a distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital or any certificate issued in connection with any reorganization), option or rights in respect of the Collateral, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any shares of the Collateral, or otherwise in respect thereof, the Grantor shall accept the same as the agent of the Secured Party, hold the same in trust for the Secured Party and deliver the same forthwith to the Secured Party in the exact form received, duly indorsed by the Grantor to the Secured Party, together with an undated assignment or stock power covering such certificate duly executed in blank by the Grantor and with, if the Secured Party so requests, signature guaranteed, to be held by the Secured Party, subject to the terms thereof, as collateral security for the Obligations. If any of the foregoing property so distributed in respect of the Collateral shall be received by the Grantor, the Grantor shall, until such property is paid or delivered to the Secured Party, hold such property in trust for the Secured Party, segregated from other funds or property of the Grantor, as collateral security for the Obligations. Grantor shall (i) promptly forward to the Secured Party written notification of, and grant of, a security interest to the Secured Party in any and all Commercial Tort Claims (as defined in the UCC) acquired by the Grantor or coming into existence, in each case, after the date hereof, including, but not limited to, any and all actions, suits, and proceedings before any court or governmental authority by or affecting such Grantor by executing and delivering a supplement in the form of Exhibit B describing such Commercial Tort Claim (as defined in the UCC) with reasonable specificity and (ii) execute and deliver such statements, documents and notices and do and cause to be done all such things as may be required by the Secured Party, or required by law,

including all things which may from time to time be necessary under the UCC to fully create, preserve, perfect and protect the priority of the Secured Party’s security interest in any Commercial Tort Claim (as defined in the UCC).

ARTICLE VI Collections; Other Rights.

SECTION 6.01. Except as provided herein, the Grantor shall be entitled to receive all cash interest, dividends and distributions paid in respect of the Collateral, and to exercise all voting rights with respect to the Collateral; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or right exercised or other action taken which would result in any violation of any provision of this Agreement or any other Note Document.

SECTION 6.02. All of the foregoing amounts set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section 6 so collected after the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default shall be held in trust by the Grantor for and as the property of the Secured Party, and shall not be commingled with other funds, money or property of the Grantor.

SECTION 6.03. After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Grantor will immediately upon receipt of all such checks, cash or other remittances constituting part of the Collateral or in payment for any Collateral sold, transferred, leased or otherwise disposed of, deliver any such items to the Secured Party accompanied by a remittance report in form supplied or approved by the Secured Party. The Grantor shall deliver such items in the same form received, endorsed or otherwise assigned by the Grantor where necessary to permit collection of such items.

ARTICLE VII Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more Events of Default under the Indenture shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”) under this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII Rights and Remedies.

SECTION 8.01. In the event of the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default, to the extent applicable: (i) the Secured Party may exercise exclusive control over the Collateral; (ii) the Secured Party shall have the right, with or without (to the extent permitted by applicable law) notice to the Grantor, as to any or all of the Collateral, by any available judicial procedure or without judicial process, to take possession of the Collateral and without liability for trespass to enter any premises where the Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Collateral, and generally to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the UCC or other applicable law; (iii) the Secured Party shall have the right to sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, whether in its then condition or after further preparation or processing, either at public or private sale or at any broker’s board, in lots or in bulk, for cash or for credit, with or without warranties or representations, and upon such terms and conditions, all as the Secured Party in its sole discretion may deem advisable; (iv) at the Secured Party’s request, the Grantor shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at places which the Secured Party shall select, whether on the Grantor’s premises or elsewhere, and make available to the Secured Party, without rent, all of the Grantor’s premises and facilities for the purpose of the Secured Party’s taking possession of, removing or putting the Collateral in saleable or disposable form; (v) the Secured Party shall have the right to receive any and all cash interest, dividends, distributions, payments or other proceeds paid in respect of the Collateral and made application thereof to the Obligations in accordance with Section 6.06 of the Indenture and (vi) any or all of the Collateral may be registered in the name of the Secured Party or its nominee and they may thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Collateral and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all securities or securities entitlements upon any merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other

fundamental change, or upon the exercise of the Grantor or the Secured Party of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such securities or securities entitlements, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the securities or securities entitlements with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Secured Party may determine), in each of the foregoing cases, all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Secured Party shall have no duty to the Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

SECTION 8.02. Any such sale, lease or other disposition of Collateral may be made without demand for performance or any notice of advertisement whatsoever except that where an applicable statute requires reasonable notice of sale or other disposition, the Grantor agrees that the sending of ten days’ notice by ordinary mail, postage prepaid, to the Grantor of the place and time of any public sale or of the time at which any private sale or other intended disposition is to be made, shall be deemed reasonable notice thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the Collateral may be materially diminished in value during such ten (10) day period, the Secured Party shall provide the Grantor with such shorter notice as it deems reasonable under the circumstances.

SECTION 8.03. The proceeds of any such sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral shall be applied first to the expenses of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale, selling, and the like, and to the reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by the Secured Party, and then to satisfaction of the Obligations (in accordance with Section 6.06 of the Indenture), and to the payment of any other amounts required by applicable law. If, upon the sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Party is legally entitled, the Grantor will be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon, at the rate prescribed in the agreements giving rise to the Obligations, and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect such deficiency. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands against the Secured Party arising out of the repossession, removal, retention or sale of the Collateral.

ARTICLE IX Power of Attorney. The Grantor authorizes the Secured Party and does hereby make, constitute and appoint the Secured Party, and any officer or agent of the Secured Party, with full power of substitution, as the Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power, in its own name or in the name of the Grantor: (i) to endorse any notes, checks, drafts, money orders, or other instruments of payment (including payments payable under or in respect of any policy of insurance) in respect of the Collateral that may come into possession of the Secured Party; (ii) to pay or discharge any taxes, liens, security interest or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; (iii) to demand, collect, receipt for, compromise, settle and sue for monies due in respect of the Collateral; (iv) to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to the Grantor and to notify the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to the Grantor to such address as the Secured Party may designate; (v) to exercise all membership rights, powers and privileges in connection with the Collateral to the same extent as the Grantor is entitled to exercise such rights, powers and privileges and (vi) generally to do all acts and things which the Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve and realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Party’s security interest therein. The Grantor hereby approves and ratifies all acts of said attorney or designee, who shall not be liable for any acts of commission or omission, nor for any error or judgment or mistake of fact or law except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. This power of attorney shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and thereafter as long as any of the Obligations shall be outstanding. The Secured Party may exercise this power of attorney only after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

ARTICLE X Notices. All notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by U.S. mail or sent by telecopy

(with confirmed receipt or followed by overnight delivery) to the addresses (or telecopy numbers) set forth in Section 13.01 of the Indenture. Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt or, if mailed, the third business day following the date so mailed, if earlier.

ARTICLE XI Other Security. To the extent that the Obligations are now or hereafter secured by property other than the Collateral or by the guarantee, endorsement or property of any other Person, then the Secured Party shall have the right in its sole discretion to pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take any other action with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of the Secured Party’s rights and remedies hereunder.

ARTICLE XII No Waiver; Rights Cumulative.

SECTION 12.01. No course of dealing between the Grantor and the Secured Party, or the Secured Party’s failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. Any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

SECTION 12.02. All of the Secured Party’s rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, whether established hereby or by any other agreements, instruments or documents or by law, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently.

ARTICLE XIII Limitation on Secured Party’s Duty in Respect of Collateral. The Secured Party shall not have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of it or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, except that the Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control.

ARTICLE XIV Amendments, Etc. No alteration, modification, amendment or waiver of any terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be effective or enforceable against the Secured Party unless set forth in a writing signed by the Secured Party.

ARTICLE XV Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and all obligations of the Grantor and the Secured Party hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Grantor and the Secured Party, as applicable, and shall, together with the rights and remedies of the Secured Party hereunder, inure to the benefit of the Secured Party and their respective successors and assigns.

ARTICLE XVI No Partnership. The relationship between the Secured Party and the Grantor shall be only of creditor-debtor and no relationship of agency, partner or joint- or co-venturer shall be created by or inferred from this Agreement or the other Note Documents. The Grantor shall indemnify, defend, and save the Secured Party harmless from any and all claims asserted against the Secured Party as being the agent, partner, or joint-venturer of the Grantor.

ARTICLE XVII Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the Grantor and the Secured Party with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior conflicting or inconsistent agreements, consents and understandings relating to such subject matter. The Grantor acknowledges and agrees that there is no oral agreement between the Grantor and the Secured Party which has not been incorporated in this Agreement.

ARTICLE XVIII Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other means of electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XIX Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without effecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

ARTICLE XX Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

SECTION 20.01. This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute related to or in connection with this Agreement, any Note Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the relationship of the parties hereto and the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (including, without limitation, Section 5-1401 et seq of the New York General Obligations Law but otherwise without regard to principles of conflicts of laws).

SECTION 20.02. GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT AGAINST IT AND RELATED TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND CONSENTS TO THE PLACING OF VENUE IN NEW YORK COUNTY OR OTHER COUNTY PERMITTED BY LAW. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT BY WAY OF MOTION, AS A DEFENSE OR OTHERWISE, IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS, THAT THE SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, THAT THE VENUE OF THE SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER, OR THAT THIS AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT REFERRED TO HEREIN MAY NOT BE LITIGATED IN OR BY SUCH COURTS. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GRANTOR AGREES NOT TO SEEK AND HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO ANY REVIEW OF THE JUDGMENT OF ANY SUCH COURT BY ANY COURT OF ANY OTHER NATION OR JURISDICTION WHICH MAY BE CALLED UPON TO GRANT AN ENFORCEMENT OF SUCH JUDGMENT. EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

SECTION 20.03. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10 hereto. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

ARTICLE XXII Bailee and Custodial Arrangements. Grantor agrees that it will cause any bailee or custodian now or hereafter in possession of the Collateral to acknowledge that it holds possession of

the Collateral for the Secured Party’s benefit. Grantor agrees that at any time when Grantor is obligated to deliver physical possession of any Collateral to Secured Party, Secured Party may appoint a bailee or custodian to hold physical possession of the Collateral for the Secured Party’s benefit and Grantor agrees to deliver all such physical Collateral as directed by the Secured Party.

ARTICLE XXIII The Collateral Agent.

(a) The Secured Party has been appointed to act as collateral agent hereunder by the Holders pursuant to the Indenture. Without limiting the generality of any other term or provision herein, the Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Secured Party under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Secured Party or the exercise or non-exercise by the Secured Party of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Secured Party and the other Secured Creditors, be governed by the Indenture.

(b) In entering into this Agreement, and in taking (or refraining from) any actions under or pursuant to this Agreement, the Secured Party shall be protected by and shall enjoy all of the rights, immunities, protections and indemnities granted to it under the Indenture.

This provision is intended solely for the benefit of the Secured Party and its successors and permitted assigns and is not intended to and will not entitle the other parties hereto to any defense, claim or counterclaim, or confer any rights or benefits on any party hereto.

ARTICLE XXIV Reaffirmation; Amendment and Restatement of Existing Security Agreement. The Grantor hereby continues, reaffirms and regrants a continuing security interest in and to the Collateral in order to secure the prompt and complete payment, observance and performance of, among other things, the Obligations. This Agreement amends, restates and supersedes the Original Security Agreement effective on the date hereof.
