(g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

(1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 or at the Registrar’s request.

(2) No service charge shall be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.10, 4.15 and 9.05).

(3) The Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

(4) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuers, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 and ending at the close of business on the day of selection;

(B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or

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

(6) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Issuers may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuers shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(7) The Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02.

(8) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile.

(9) 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 Notes (including any transfers between or among Depositary Participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Notes) 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 shall have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

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

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

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

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

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

If the Paying Agent (other than the Issuers, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by an Issuer or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlled by an Issuer or any Guarantor, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

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

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

The Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act) in accordance with its customary procedures. Certification of the disposal of all canceled Notes shall be delivered to the Issuers upon their written request therefor. The Issuers may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

If the Issuers default in a payment of interest on the Notes, they shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Issuers shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuers (or, upon five Business Days’ prior written request of the Issuers, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuers) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

The Issuers in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee will use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption will not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuers will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

The Issuers will be entitled, from time to time, subject to its compliance with Section 4.09, without consent of the Holders, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture with identical terms as the Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date other than with respect to (i) the date of issuance and initial accrual of interest, (ii) the issue price, (iii) the amount of interest payable on the first interest payment date and (iv) any adjustments in order to conform to and ensure compliance with the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws). The Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes will be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, except that Additional Notes issued with “original issue discount” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, shall not have the same CUSIP number as any Initial Notes and, to the extent required by applicable tax regulations, may be treated as a separate class for purposes of transfer and exchanges of Notes.

With respect to any Additional Notes, the Issuers will set forth in an Officer’s Certificate pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuers, copies of which will be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:

(1) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture;

(2) the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP number of such Additional Notes; and

If the Issuers elect to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07, they must furnish to the Trustee, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth:

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or are required to be purchased at any time, the Trustee shall select Notes for redemption or purchase on a pro rata basis except:

(1) if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed; or

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or are required to be purchased, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption or purchase date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase; provided, however, that the Issuers have delivered to the Trustee, at least 35 days prior to the redemption date (or such shorter or longer period as the Trustee may agree (but in no case less than 30 days prior to the redemption date)), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee make such selection as provided in the preceding paragraph.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuers in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Issuers shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 11 of this Indenture.

The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including CUSIP Number(s)) and shall state:

(3) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued in the name of the applicable Holder upon cancellation of the original Note;

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

(6) that, unless the Issuers default in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

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

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

At the Issuers’ request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuers’ name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Issuers have delivered to the Trustee, at least 35 days prior to the redemption date (or such shorter period as the Trustee may agree (but in no case less than 30 days prior to the redemption date)), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. The Issuers may provide in a notice of redemption that payment of the redemption price and the performance of the Issuers’ obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

Once a notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. Any such redemption or notice of redemption may, in the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, including the occurrence of a Change of Control.

Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the relevant redemption date or required purchase date, the Issuers shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuers any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuers in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

If the Issuers comply with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or required purchase date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Issuers to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01.

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuers shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuers a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered.

(a) At any time prior to April 15, 2016, the Issuers are entitled, on any one or more occasions, to redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under this Indenture (including Additional Notes, if any) at a redemption price of 105.250% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, using cash contributed directly or indirectly by Holdings (or any other direct or indirect parent of a Restricted Parent) to the common equity capital of a Restricted Parent in an amount not to exceed the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings by Holdings (or any other direct or indirect parent of a Restricted Parent), in each case, other than Excluded Contributions and the net proceeds of a sale of Designated Preferred Stock of Holdings or any such parent of a Restricted Parent; provided that:

(1) at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under this Indenture (excluding Notes held by the Issuers or Affiliates of the Issuers and including Additional Notes, if any) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of any such redemption; and

(2) the redemption occurs prior to 90 days after the date of the closing of such Equity Offering or equity contribution.

(b) At any time prior to April 15, 2016, the Issuers are entitled to redeem all or a part of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), subject to the rights of Holders of record of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

(c) On or after April 15, 2016, the Issuers are entitled to redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes redeemed to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on April 15 of the years indicated below, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date:

(d) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06.

The Issuers are not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10, the Issuers are required to commence an Asset Sale Offer, it shall follow the procedures specified below.

The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders and if the Issuers elect (or are required by the terms of other Pari Passu Indebtedness), all holders of other Pari Passu Indebtedness. The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Issuers shall apply all Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase of Notes and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness, if any, (on a pro rata basis, if applicable) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and other Indebtedness tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made pursuant to Section 4.01.

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

Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Issuers shall send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall state:

(6) that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Issuers, a Depositary, if appointed by the Issuers, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date;

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

(8) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Issuers shall select the Notes and other Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuers so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or integral multiples of $1,000, shall be purchased); and

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

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

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

The Issuers shall pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes. Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Issuers or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the due date money deposited by or on behalf of the Issuers in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due.

The Issuers shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuers fail to maintain any such required office or agency or fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

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

The Issuers hereby designate the New York Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Issuers in accordance with Section 2.03.

Notwithstanding the deadlines for the reports set forth in Section 4.03(a), such report by the certified independent accountants need not be provided until 120 days after the end of the relevant fiscal year, so long as the related annual report contains unaudited financial statements as of the time it is distributed in accordance with the deadlines set forth in Section 4.03(a).

(e) In addition, the Issuers agree that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, if at any time they are not required to file with the SEC the reports required by the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.03, they will furnish to the Holders and beneficial owners of Notes and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

(h) In addition, the Issuers (or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuers) shall:

(1) hold a quarterly conference call to discuss the information contained in the Financial Reports or the relevant Substitute Reports not later than ten business days from the time the Issuers furnish the Financial Reports or the relevant Substitute Reports to the Trustee (or from the time the same are filed or furnished to the SEC as provided in Section 4.03(i)); and

(i) If at any time the Notes are guaranteed by a direct or indirect parent of Holdings, and such company has furnished the Financial Reports described herein with respect to such company as required by this Section 4.03 as if such company were Holdings (including any financial information required hereby), Holdings and the Issuers shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.03. Any information filed with, or furnished to, the SEC within the time periods specified in this Section 4.03 shall be deemed to have been made available as required by this Section 4.03, and to the extent such filings comply with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding such filings, they will be deemed to comply with the requirements of this Section 4.03. If Holdings or a direct or indirect parent of Holdings files with or furnishes to the SEC (a) an Annual Report on Form 10-K with respect to a fiscal year that complies in all material respects with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding such filing, then such filing shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of Section 4.03(a)(1) with respect to the relevant fiscal year; (b) a quarterly report on Form 10-Q with respect to a fiscal quarter that complies in all material respects with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding such filing, then such filing shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of Section 4.03(a)(2) with respect to the relevant fiscal quarter; and (c) a current report on Form 8-K with respect to any of the events described Section 4.03(a)(3) that complies in all material respects with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding such filing, then such filing shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of Section 4.03(a)(3) with respect to such event (each of (a), (b) and (c), “Substitute Reports”); provided, in each case of clause (a) through (c), that (x) such filings include such disclosure as is reasonably necessary to describe any material differences between the consolidated financial information of such direct or indirect parent and the consolidated financial information of Holdings and (y) such direct or indirect parent does not conduct, transact or otherwise engage in any material business or operations other than the business and operations conducted through Holdings or its ownership of intermediate holding companies and activities incidental thereto. The subsequent filing or making available of any materials or conference call required by this Section 4.03 shall be deemed automatically to cure any Default or Event of Default resulting from the failure to file or make available such materials or conference call within the required time frame. The Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever to determine whether or not such filings referred to in this Section 4.03 have been made.

(a) The Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee, within 105 days after the end of each fiscal year of Holdings, an Officer’s Certificate signed by the principal executive officer or the principal financial officer stating that a review of the activities of Holdings and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Issuers and the Guarantors have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled their obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to his or her knowledge the Issuers and the Guarantors have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant

contained in this Indenture and are not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Issuers are taking or propose to take with respect thereto) and that to his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Issuers are taking or propose to take with respect thereto.

(b) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Issuers are taking or propose to take with respect thereto.

The Restricted Parents shall pay, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

The Issuers and each of the Guarantors covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuers and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that they shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

Section 4.09 Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock.

(a) The Restricted Parents shall not, and shall not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise (collectively, “incur”) with respect to any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Restricted Parents will not issue any shares of Disqualified Stock and will not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock; provided, however, that a Restricted Parent and/or any Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue shares of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock,

if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for Holdings’ most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or such preferred stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the preferred stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

(b) The provisions of Section 4.09(a) shall not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness or the issuance of any of the following items of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):

(A) $125.0 million less the aggregate amount of all Net Proceeds of Asset Sales applied by the Restricted Parents and their Restricted Subsidiaries since the Issue Date to permanently repay any term Indebtedness under a Credit Facility or to permanently repay any revolving credit Indebtedness under a Credit Facility and effect a corresponding commitment reduction thereunder pursuant to Section 4.10; provided, however, that no Net Proceeds shall be so deducted under this subclause (A) until $475.0 million of Net Proceeds shall have been first deducted under subclause (A) of clause (33) below; and

(5) the incurrence by a Restricted Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness or Replacement Preferred Stock in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) or any Disqualified Stock or preferred stock that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under Section 4.09(a) or clauses (2), (3), (4), (5) or (16) of this Section 4.09(b);

(6) the incurrence by a Restricted Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Restricted Parents and any of their Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:

(A) if U.S. Holdings, an Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the payee is not U.S. Holdings, an Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor, such Indebtedness must be unsecured and subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the Notes, in the case of an Issuer, or the Note Guarantee, in the case of U.S. Holdings or a Subsidiary Guarantor, except to the extent such subordination would violate a material contract as in effect on the Issue Date or is not permitted pursuant to applicable laws, rules or regulations; and

(B) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than a Restricted Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either a Restricted Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent, will be deemed, in each case, to constitute a new incurrence of such Indebtedness by such Restricted Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, which new incurrence is not permitted by this clause (6);

(7) the issuance by any Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent to a Restricted Parent or to any other Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent of shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that:

(8) the incurrence by the Restricted Parents or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations not for speculative purposes;

(A) by the Restricted Parents, the U.S. Issuer or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors of Indebtedness of a Restricted Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.09 (other than clause (22) of this Section 4.09(b)); provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu in right of payment with the Notes, then the guarantee shall be subordinated or pari passu in right of payment, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed; and

(B) by any Restricted Subsidiary that is neither the U.S. Issuer nor a Subsidiary Guarantor of Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is neither the U.S. Issuer nor a Subsidiary Guarantor;

(27) obligations of a Restricted Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent under an agreement with any governmental authority, adjoining (or common master plan) landowner or seller of real property, in each case entered into in the ordinary course of business in connection with the acquisition of real property, to entitle, develop or construct infrastructure thereupon;

Subject to the next paragraph, any indebtedness incurred under a Credit Facility pursuant to clauses (1) and (33) of this Section 4.09(b) shall be deemed for purposes of this Section 4.09 to have been incurred on the date such Indebtedness was first incurred until such Indebtedness is actually repaid, other than pursuant to “cash sweep” provisions or any similar provisions under any Credit Facility that provide that such Indebtedness is deemed to be repaid daily (or otherwise periodically). For the avoidance of doubt, if and to the extent any Indebtedness is incurred to refinance, refund or replace Indebtedness incurred under any clause or subclause of this Section 4.09(b) that is limited by a percentage of Consolidated Adjusted Total Assets, the Indebtedness so incurred may be incurred pursuant to such clause or subclause, even if such refinancing, refunding or replacing Indebtedness could not itself be incurred pursuant to such clause or subclause at such time.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (33) of Section 4.09(b), or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a), the Issuers shall be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify (based on circumstances existing at the time of such reclassification) all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09. Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement outstanding on the Issue Date will be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of this Section 4.09(b). The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock or preferred stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock will not be deemed

to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock for purposes of this Section 4.09; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Fixed Charges of Holdings as accrued (other than the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles).

(1) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

(2) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and

(3) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

(a) The Restricted Parents shall not, and shall not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(1) a Restricted Parent or any such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(2) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by such Restricted Parent or any such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash. For purposes of this clause (2), each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

(B) any liabilities, as shown on a recent consolidated balance sheet, of a Restricted Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee) that are (i) assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases such Restricted Parent or any such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from further liability or (ii) retired, cancelled or otherwise terminated in connection with such Asset Sale;

(C) any securities, Notes or other obligations received by a Restricted Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent from such transferee that are converted by the recipient into cash within 180 days of receipt, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion;

(D) any Designated Noncash Consideration the Fair Market Value of which, when taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (D) (and not subsequently converted into Cash Equivalents that are treated as Net Proceeds of an Asset Sale), does not exceed the greater of $60.0 million since the Issue Date and 3.5% of Consolidated Adjusted Tangible Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Noncash Consideration, with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value;

(E) any stock or assets of the kind referred to in clauses (2) or (4) of Section 4.10(b);

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 75% limitation referred to in clause (2) of this Section 4.10(a) shall not apply to any Asset Sale in which the cash or Cash Equivalents portion of the consideration received therefrom, determined in accordance with the foregoing provision, is equal to or greater than what the after-tax proceeds would have been had such Asset Sale complied with the aforementioned 75% limitation.

(b) Within 450 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the applicable Restricted Parent or Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may apply such Net Proceeds at its option:

(x) Obligations under (i) Indebtedness secured by Permitted Liens pursuant to clause (l) or (hh) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” (whose commitments shall be correspondingly reduced permanently upon such repayment or prepayment) or (ii) other Indebtedness secured by the assets subject to such Asset Sale;

(y) Obligations under the Notes or any other Pari Passu Indebtedness of a Restricted Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent; provided that if a Restricted Parent or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall so repay or prepay any such other Pari Passu Indebtedness, the Issuers will reduce Obligations under the Notes on a pro rata basis (based on the amount so applied to such repayments or prepayments) by, at their option, (A) redeeming Notes pursuant to Section 3.07, (B) making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09 for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, thereon up to the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased or (C) purchasing Notes through privately negotiated transactions or open market purchases, in a manner that complies with this Indenture and applicable securities law; or

(z) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent that is neither the U.S. Issuer nor a Guarantor, other than Indebtedness owed to a Restricted Parent or another Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent;

(2) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent;

(4) to acquire Additional Assets or improve or develop existing assets to be used in a Permitted Business,

provided that the requirements of clauses (2) through (4) of this Section 4.10(b) shall be extended by an additional 180 days if an agreement (including a lease, whether a capital lease or an operating lease) committing to make the acquisitions or expenditures referred to therein is entered into by a Restricted Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent within 450 days after the receipt of such Net Proceeds and such Net Proceeds are applied in accordance with such agreement.

Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Issuers may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

(c) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales (other than Excess Designated Proceeds) that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.10(b) shall constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million, within ten Business Days thereafter, the

Issuers shall make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes and if the Issuers elect (or are required by the terms of such other Pari Passu Indebtedness), all holders of other Pari Passu Indebtedness (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness, in denominations of $2,000 initial principal amount and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, that may be purchased with an amount equal to the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, or, in the case of Pari Passu Indebtedness represented by securities sold at a discount, the amount of the accreted value thereof at such time, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. In the event that a Restricted Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent prepays any Pari Passu Indebtedness that is outstanding under a revolving credit or other committed loan facility pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer, such Restricted Parent or Restricted Subsidiary shall cause the related loan commitment to be reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid. After the completion of an Asset Sale, the Restricted Parents and their Restricted Subsidiaries may make an Asset Sale Offer prior to the time they are required to do so by the second sentence of this Section 4.10(c). If a Restricted Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent completes such an Asset Sale Offer with respect to any Net Proceeds, the Restricted Parents and their Restricted Subsidiaries shall be deemed to have complied with this Section 4.10(c) with respect to the application of such Net Proceeds, and any such Net Proceeds remaining after completion of such Asset Sale Offer may be used by the Restricted Parents and their Restricted Subsidiaries for any purpose not prohibited by this Indenture. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Restricted Parents and their Restricted Subsidiaries may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

(d) The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Section 3.09 or this Section 4.10, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under Section 3.09 or this Section 4.10 by virtue of such compliance.

(a) The Restricted Parents shall not, and shall not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of their properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of a Restricted Parent involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:

(1) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that, taken as a whole, are not materially less favorable to the relevant Restricted Parent or Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by such Restricted Parent or Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

(2) an Issuer delivers to the Trustee, with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $20.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of such Issuer set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 4.11(a) and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of such Issuer disinterested with respect to such Affiliate Transaction.

(b) The following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.11(a):

(1) any employment, consultancy, advisory or other compensatory agreement, employee benefit plan, officer or director indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement entered into by a Restricted Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent in the ordinary course of business and payments pursuant thereto;

(2) transactions between or among the Restricted Parents and/or their Restricted Subsidiaries or any entity that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction;

(3) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) that is an Affiliate of a Restricted Parent solely because a Restricted Parent owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person;

(5) any transaction in which the only consideration paid by the Restricted Parents or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries is in the form of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of Holdings to Affiliates of Holdings or any equity capital contribution made to Holdings or the Restricted Parents (other than in respect of Disqualified Stock);

(6) Permitted Investments or Restricted Payments that do not violate Section 4.07;

(8) to the extent not otherwise permitted under any other clause in this Section 4.11(b), the transactions described in the Offering Circular or the March 2012 Offering Circular under the captions, “Capitalization” and “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions”, in each case on the terms described thereunder for such transaction;

(12) transactions with customers, suppliers, contractors, joint venture partners or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case which are in the ordinary course of business (including pursuant to joint venture agreements) and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture, and which are fair to the Restricted Parents and their Restricted Subsidiaries, as applicable, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of a Restricted Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent, as applicable, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party;

any such Restricted Subsidiary of obligations under any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Reference Date will only be permitted by this clause (13) to the extent that the terms of any such amendment or new agreement, taken as a whole, are not materially disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of an Issuer;

(22) (x) the guarantee by a Restricted Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent of the Indebtedness of any parent company of a Restricted Parent that becomes the parent company of a Restricted Parent in a Change of Control transaction consummated in accordance with this Indenture, or of any Indebtedness of Subsidiaries of such parent company; provided that such guarantee was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be incurred and (y) the granting by a Restricted Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Liens to secure such Indebtedness or such guarantee; provided that such Liens are permitted to be incurred under this Indenture; and

(23) transactions in which a Restricted Parent or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing stating that the financial terms of such transaction are fair to such Restricted Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, from a financial point of view (or words of similar import) or meets the requirements of clause (1) of Section 4.11(a).

(a) The Restricted Parents shall not, and shall not permit the U.S. Issuer or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors to create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien (a “Triggering Lien”) of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) securing Indebtedness upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom unless all payments due under this Indenture and the Notes (or under a Note Guarantee in the case of Liens of a Guarantor) are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Triggering Lien.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.12, (A) a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness need not be permitted solely by reference to Section 4.12(a) or to one category (or portion thereof) of Permitted Liens described in clauses (1)(a) through (ll) (or, if applicable, clause (2)(a) and (b)) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof and (B) in the event that a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of Section 4.12(a) or one or more of the categories (or portions thereof) of Permitted Liens described in clauses (1)(a) through (ll) (or, if applicable, clause (2)(a) and (b)) of the definition of “Permitted Liens,” the Issuers shall, in their sole discretion, divide, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify, or reclassify, such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies (based on circumstances existing at the time of such division, classification or reclassification) with this Section 4.12. For the avoidance of doubt, if and to the extent that any Indebtedness is incurred to refinance, refund or replace any Indebtedness secured by Liens permitted under any clause of the definition of Permitted Liens that is limited by a percentage of Consolidated Adjusted Total Assets, the Indebtedness so incurred may be secured by Liens pursuant to such clause or subclause, even if such replacing Lien could not itself be incurred pursuant to such clause or subclause at such time.

(c) With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms or in the form of common equity of a Restricted Parent or any direct or indirect parent of a Restricted Parent, the payment of dividends on preferred stock in the form of additional shares of preferred stock of the same class, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness described in the definition of “Indebtedness.”

The Restricted Parents shall not, and shall not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to the Restricted Parents and their Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; it being understood that the Restricted Parents and their Restricted Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Section 4.13 if the Restricted Parents or their Restricted Subsidiaries acquire another Person that is primarily engaged in Permitted Businesses or acquire business operations that primarily consist of Permitted Businesses and continue to operate such acquired Person’s operations or such acquired business operations, as the case may be.

(a) Holdings will not conduct, transact or otherwise engage in any business or operations, or own or acquire any assets or incur any liabilities, other than:

(1) direct or indirect ownership of the Capital Stock of the Restricted Parents;

(2) the maintenance of its legal existence, including the ability to incur fees, costs and expenses relating to such maintenance;

(3) participating in tax, accounting and other administrative matters as a member of the consolidated group of Holdings, U.S. Holdings and the Issuers;

(4) the performance of and incurrence of liabilities under, the documentation governing (i) the Credit Agreement, (ii) the Stock Purchase Agreement, (iii) the other agreements contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement and (iv) any guarantee of Indebtedness permitted under the covenant described under Section 4.09;

(5) any public offering of Capital Stock of Holdings or any other issuance or registration of Holdings’ Capital Stock for sale or resale or any issuance of equity awards under any plan for the benefit of employees of Holdings, the Restricted Parents or any of their Subsidiaries, payment of dividends, making contributions to the capital of their Subsidiaries and guaranteeing the obligations of the Restricted Parents and their Restricted Subsidiaries, including the costs, fees and expenses related thereto;

(6) holding any Restricted Payments made by a Restricted Parent in accordance with Section 4.07 pending application thereof by the recipient in the manner contemplated by Section 4.07 (if so specified);

(7) incurring fees, costs and expenses relating to overhead and general operating including professional fees for legal, tax and accounting issues;

(9) the incurrence of liabilities permitted to be incurred by it by the Credit Agreement; and

(10) activities incidental to the businesses or activities described in clauses (1) to (9) of this Section 4.14(a) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, activities related to the IPO-Related Transactions (as defined in the Offering Circular) and Holdings being an intermediate holding company between a public company direct or indirect parent and the Restricted Parents).

(b) For so long as the Notes are outstanding, Holdings will beneficially own all the Voting Stock of U.S. Holdings and the Canadian Issuer, and U.S. Holdings will beneficially own all of the Voting Stock of the U.S. Issuer, it being understood that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Holdings may interpose one or more holding companies between itself and the Restricted Parents, so long as such holding companies also agree to guarantee the Notes pursuant to a Note Guarantee and adhere to limitations that are substantially similar to the limitations on the activities of Holdings under Section 4.14(a).

(a) If a Change of Control occurs after the Issue Date, unless, prior to the time the Issuers are required to make a Change of Control Offer, the Issuers have previously or concurrently mailed a redemption notice that is or has become unconditional with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described under Section 3.07 or 11.01, the Issuers shall make an offer to purchase all of the Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of purchase, subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuers shall send notice of such Change of Control Offer by first class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of Notes to the address of such Holder appearing in the security register with a copy to the Trustee or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, with the following information:

(1) that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.15 and that all Notes tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment by the Issuers;

(2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(3) that any Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest;

(4) that, unless the Issuers default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date;

(5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Notes completed, to the Paying Agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to require the Issuers to purchase such Notes; provided that the Paying Agent receives, not later than the expiration time of the Change of Control Offer, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes purchased;

(7) that if a Holder requests that only a portion of a Note held by it be purchased, such Holder will be issued a new Note equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. The unpurchased portion of the Note must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof;

(8) if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control; and

(9) the other instructions, as determined by the Issuers, consistent with this Section 4.15, that a Holder must follow.

While the Notes are in global form and the Issuers make an offer to purchase all of the Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, a holder of Notes may exercise its option to elect for the purchase of the Notes through the facilities of DTC, subject to its rules and regulations.

The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.15, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.15 by virtue of such compliance.

(b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuers shall, to the extent lawful:

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Issuers.

The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any. The Issuers shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.15, the Issuers shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.15 and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) a notice of redemption that is or has become unconditional has been given pursuant to Section 3.07 unless and until there is a Default in payment of the applicable redemption price.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.15, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of the making of such Change of Control Offer.

The Board of Directors of a Restricted Parent may designate any Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Restricted Parents and their Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and shall reduce the Cumulative Buildup Basket or amounts available under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments or one or more clauses of Section 4.07(b), as determined by the Issuers. That designation shall only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of an Issuer or a Restricted Parent may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation would not cause a Default and either: (1) the Restricted Parents could incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test in Section 4.09(a) or (2) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be greater than such ratio for Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such designation, in each case on a pro forma basis taking into account such designation.

Any designation of a Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of a Restricted Parent giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 4.07. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the requirements of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.09, the Restricted Parents shall be in Default of Section 4.09. The Board of Directors of a Restricted Parent may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent; provided that such designation shall be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation shall only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.09 and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

The Restricted Parents shall not, and shall not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of Notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an offering of securities to Holders of Notes by the Restricted Parents or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, an exchange offer) in which a consent, waiver or amendment is sought, if such offering is intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, the Restricted Parents and their Restricted Subsidiaries may offer and issue such securities only to Holders of Notes who are eligible to receive such securities in accordance with such exemption from registration.

If at any time any existing or future Restricted Subsidiary of U.S. Holdings does not qualify as a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary and such Subsidiary is not at that time a Guarantor, then that Restricted Subsidiary will, within 30 days from being acquired, created or ceasing to qualify as a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, as applicable, become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture and deliver an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; provided that no such Restricted Subsidiary will be required to so become a Guarantor for so long as such Subsidiary does not Guarantee any Obligations or otherwise become an obligor under any Credit Agreement. The form of such supplemental indenture is attached as Exhibit E hereto.

At any time after the Notes have received Investment Grade Ratings from two Rating Agencies (a “Covenant Termination Event”), upon notice by the Issuers to the Trustee certifying that a Covenant Termination Event has occurred and that at the time of the giving of such notice no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (a “Covenant Termination Event Notice”), the Restricted Parents and their Restricted Subsidiaries will not thereafter be subject to the following provisions of this Indenture:

(6) any provision contained in Section 4.16 requiring compliance with any test for the incurrence of Indebtedness;

Upon the delivery of a Covenant Termination Event Notice pursuant to a Covenant Termination Event, the Guarantees of the Guarantors will also be released.

(a) None of Holdings, the Restricted Parents nor the U.S. Issuer shall, directly or indirectly: (1) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not it is the surviving corporation); or (2) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Restricted Parents and their Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to another Person, unless:

(1) in the case of a consolidation or merger of, or a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition by, the U.S. Issuer or U.S. Holdings, the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the U.S. Issuer or U.S. Holdings) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia;

(2) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than a Restricted Parent or the U.S. Issuer) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made assumes all the obligations of Holdings, such Restricted Parent and/or such Issuer, as applicable, under the Notes or the Note Guarantees, as applicable, and this Indenture pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee;

(3) immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

(A) on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, the Restricted Parents, or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than a Restricted Parent), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made, would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.09(a); or

(B) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of Holdings, after giving pro forma effect to such transaction and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, would be greater than the actual Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of Holdings immediately prior to such transaction.

In addition, the Restricted Parents shall not, and shall not permit their Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, lease all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Restricted Parents and their Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to any other Person.

(1) a merger of Holdings, a Restricted Parent or the U.S. Issuer with an Affiliate solely for the purpose of reincorporating Holdings, such Restricted Parent or the U.S. Issuer in another jurisdiction; provided that in the case of the U.S. Issuer and U.S. Holdings such other jurisdiction is any state of the United States or the District of Columbia;

(2) any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of assets between or among Restricted Parents and their Restricted Subsidiaries; and

(3) any sale or other transfer of assets pursuant to a Designated Asset Sale or that constitute Excess Designated Proceeds.

Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of properties or assets in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into or with which Holdings, the applicable Restricted Parent or U.S. Issuer is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to “Holdings”, a “Restricted Parent” or the “U.S. Issuer”, as applicable, shall refer instead to the successor Person and not to Holdings, such Restricted Parent or the U.S. Issuer), and may exercise every right and power of Holdings, such Restricted Parent or the U.S. Issuer, as applicable, under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as Holdings, a Restricted Parent or the U.S. Issuer herein; provided, however, that the predecessor Holdings, Restricted Parents or the U.S. Issuer, if any, shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes except in the case of a sale of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of Holdings, the Restricted Parents and their Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as whole, in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 5.01.

(2) default in the payment when due (at maturity, upon redemption, acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of, or premium, if any, on, the Notes;

(3) failure by a Restricted Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent to comply with Section 5.01;

(4) failure by Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiary of Holdings for 60 days after notice to an Issuer by the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class to comply with any of the other agreements in this Indenture;

(5) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed (other than Non-Recourse Debt and any such Indebtedness owed to Holdings, a Restricted Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent) by a Restricted Parent or any Significant Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent (or the payment of which is guaranteed by a Restricted Parent or any Significant Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date, if that default:

(A) is caused by a failure to pay principal at the final Stated Maturity of such Indebtedness (a “Payment Default”); or

(B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity,

and, in each case, the principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $40.0 million or more;

(6) with respect to any judgment or decree for the payment of money (net of any amount covered by insurance issued by a reputable and creditworthy insurer that has not contested coverage or reserved rights with respect to an underlying claim) in excess of $40.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent against a Restricted Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent, the failure by a Restricted Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, to pay such judgment or decree, which judgment or decree has remained outstanding for a period of 60 days after such judgment or decree became final and nonappealable without being paid, discharged, waived or stayed;

(7) except as permitted by this Indenture, any Note Guarantee of a Restricted Parent or any Significant Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent is declared to be unenforceable or invalid by any final and nonappealable judgment or decree or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or a Restricted Parent or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent or any Person acting on behalf of a Restricted Parent or any such Subsidiary Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations in writing under its Note Guarantee and such Default continues for 10 days after receipt of the notice specified in this Indenture;

(8) any of Holdings, a Restricted Parent, the U.S. Issuer or any Subsidiary of any of the foregoing that is a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law:

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

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

(A) is for relief against any of Holdings, a Restricted Parent, the U.S. Issuer or any Subsidiary of any of the foregoing that is a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case;

(B) appoints a custodian of any of Holdings, a Restricted Parent, the U.S. Issuer or any Subsidiary of any of the foregoing that is a Significant Subsidiary for all or substantially all of the property of Holdings, such Restricted Parent, the U.S. Issuer or such Significant Subsidiary, as applicable; or

(C) orders the liquidation of any of Holdings, a Restricted Parent, the U.S. Issuer or any Subsidiary of any of the foregoing that is a Significant Subsidiary;

In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (8) or (9) of Section 6.01, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.

Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes.

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

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

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes; provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

(1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

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

(3) such Holders have offered the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(5) Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

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

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuers (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee hereunder. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due hereunder, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and

Third: to the Issuers or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

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 or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

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

(1) the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of certificates or opinions specifically required by any provision hereof to be furnished to it, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not to confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(1) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01;

(2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05.

(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this Section 7.01.

(e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability.

(f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuers. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely in good faith upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel of its own selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

(c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care.

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(e) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from an Issuer shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of such Issuer.

(f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.

(h) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder.

(i) The Trustee may request that the Issuers deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

(j) 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.

(k) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or any Affiliate of the Issuers with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuers’ use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Issuers or upon the Issuers’ direction under any provision of this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

(a) The Issuers shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as agreed to in writing between the Issuers and the Trustee. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a Trustee of an express trust. The Issuers shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

(b) The Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuers and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuers, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense shall be determined to have been caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee shall notify the Issuers promptly of any claim of which a Responsible Officer has received written notice for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuers shall not relieve the Issuers or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Issuers or such Guarantor shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuers shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuers nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) The obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

(d) To secure the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

(e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(8) or (9) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

(a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

(b) The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuers. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuers in writing. The Issuers may remove the Trustee if:

(2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

(3) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(c) If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason, the Issuers shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuers.

(d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuers, or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition, at the expense of the Issuers, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e) If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(f) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuers. 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 the Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuers’ obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that together with its affiliates has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. No Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with either of the Issuers or any Guarantor shall serve as the Trustee.

The provisions of TIA § 311 are hereby expressly incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof with the same force and effect as if reproduced in its entirety herein. If any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with § 311 of the TIA, the provision of § 311 of the TIA shall control.

The Issuers may, at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 applied to all outstanding Notes and all obligations of the Guarantors with respect to the Note Guarantees upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

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

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

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

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

Subject to compliance with this Section 8.02, the Issuers may exercise their option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of their option under Section 8.03.

Upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, Holdings, the Restricted Parents and their Restricted Subsidiaries shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04(a), 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18 and Section 5.01 with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and the Note Guarantees, Holdings, the Restricted Parents and their

Restricted Subsidiaries may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(7) and, to the extent relating to a Significant Subsidiary of an Issuer, Sections 6.01(8) and 6.01(9) shall not constitute Events of Default.

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

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

(2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuers must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (a) the Issuers have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes shall not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and shall be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

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

(4) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement (including the Credit Agreement) or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which an Issuer or any Subsidiary of an Issuer is a party or by which an Issuer or any Subsidiary of an Issuer is bound;

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

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

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

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

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

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

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuers, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuers on their request or (if then held by the Issuers) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter be permitted to look only to the Issuers for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuers as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Note Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuers make any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of their obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the cash or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

(a) Notwithstanding Section 9.02, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes (and any other documents related thereto) without the consent of any Holder of a Note:

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

(3) to provide for the assumption of an Issuer’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders under the Notes and/or the Note Guarantees by a successor to such Issuer or such Guarantor pursuant to Article 5 or Section 10.05;

(4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits (including the addition of collateral) to the Holders or that does not adversely affect in any material respect the legal rights hereunder of any such Holder;

(5) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA (to the extent this Indenture is or becomes so qualified);

(6) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Offering Circular;

(7) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture as of the Issue Date;

(8) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes; or

(b) Upon the request of the Issuers accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amendment or supplement to this Indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02(b), the Trustee shall join with the Issuers and the Guarantors in the execution of any amendment or supplement to this Indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

(a) Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15), the Note Guarantees or the Notes (and any documents related thereto) with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes).

(b) Upon the request of the Issuers accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amendment or supplement to this Indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02(b), the Trustee shall join with the Issuers and the Guarantors in the execution of such amendment or supplement to this Indenture unless such amendment or supplement directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amendment or supplement.

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

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

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

(2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes, except as provided above with respect to Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 and except with respect to provisions specifying the notice periods for effecting a redemption;

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

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

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

(7) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Sections 3.09, 4.10 or 4.15);

(8) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(9) impair the right of any Holder of the Notes to receive payment of principal of, or interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes;

(10) make any change to or modify the ranking as to contractual right of payment of any such Note or related Guarantee that would adversely affect the Holders; or

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

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is

not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

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

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

The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplement to this Indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Issuers may not sign an amendment or supplement to this Indenture until the Board of Directors of each Issuer approves of such amendment or supplement. In executing any amendment or supplement to this Indenture, the Trustee shall be provided with and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.04, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

(a) Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuers hereunder or thereunder, that:

(1) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other Obligations of the Issuers to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

(2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other Obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuers, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims

with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuers, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuers, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture or by release in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

(c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuers, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuers or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either the Issuers or the Guarantors to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee.

(e) All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, the economic consequences resulting from the performance of their respective obligations arising under this Indenture. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under its Notes Guarantee such that its Aggregate Payments exceed its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor, to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors, multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under their respective Notes Guarantees in respect of the obligations guaranteed. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under its Notes Guarantee that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided that solely for purposes of calculating the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 10.01, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of its Notes Guarantee (including in respect of this Section 10.01), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 10.01. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. Each Contributing Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 10.01(e). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 10.01(e) shall limit or impair, by implication or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations under its Note Guarantee.

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the

Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount that shall, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.

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

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.04, neither U.S. Holdings nor any Subsidiary Guarantor may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not it is the surviving Person) another Person, other than a Restricted Parent, the U.S. Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor, unless:

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

(a) the Person (if other than a Restricted Parent, the U.S. Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor) acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person (if other than a Restricted Parent, the U.S. Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor) formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of U.S. Holdings or that Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, under this Indenture and its Note Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee; or

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuers and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5, and notwithstanding subclauses (a) and (b) of the second preceding paragraph, nothing in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of U.S. Holdings or a Subsidiary Guarantor with or into a Restricted Parent, the U.S. Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of U.S. Holdings or a Subsidiary Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to a Restricted Parent, the U.S. Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor.

(a) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.10;

(b) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of that Subsidiary Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary of a Restricted Parent, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.10;

(c) if a Restricted Parent designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor to be a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary in accordance with the definition of Non-Guarantor Subsidiary;

(d) if that Subsidiary Guarantor is released from its guarantees under all Credit Agreements (other than upon the release of all Subsidiary Guarantors from their guarantees under all Credit Agreements in connection with the termination or discharge in full of all Credit Agreements);

(e) upon legal defeasance in accordance with Article 8 or satisfaction and discharge in accordance with Article 11; or

(f) upon delivery of a Covenant Termination Event Notice pursuant to a Covenant Termination Event.

If any Subsidiary Guarantor is released from its Note Guarantee (other than a Subsidiary Guarantor so released pursuant to clause (c) above in reliance upon clause (2) or clause (4) of the definition of Non-Guarantor Subsidiary), any of its Subsidiaries that are Subsidiary Guarantors will also be released from their Note Guarantees, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, U.S. Holdings shall not be released from its Note Guarantee.

Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 10.05 shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in and subject to any limitations contained in this Article 10.

This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when:

(a) all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuers, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(b) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption that is or has become unconditional or otherwise or shall become due and payable within one year and the Issuers or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as shall be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption (for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of a discharge that occurs in connection with a redemption that is to occur on a Redemption Date, the amount to be deposited shall be the amount that, as of the date of such deposit, is deemed reasonably sufficient to make such payment and discharge on the Redemption Date, in the good-faith determination of the Board of Directors of Holdings pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of Holdings and as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate);

(2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the incurrence of any Lien in respect thereof) and the deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Issuers or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuers or any Guarantor is bound;

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

(4) the Issuers have delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be, (subject to the proviso in the first paragraph of Section 11.02).

In addition, the Issuers must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to sub-clause (b) of clause (1) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Sections 12.02 and 8.06 shall survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 shall be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including an Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law; provided that, if there is a tender offer by the Issuers for outstanding Notes that is in progress at the time of such deposit, such money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 may be applied to pay any cash consideration for any Notes validly tendered into such tender offer and not validly withdrawn so long as prior to any such application the Issuers deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee certifying that after giving effect to such application, the amount remaining on deposit with the Trustee will be sufficient, without consideration

of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes (excluding Notes delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and Notes to be repurchased in such tender offer) for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption, as the case may be.

To the extent that and so long as the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuers’ and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01; provided, however, that if the Issuers have made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes following the reinstatement of their obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

In the event of a conflict between the terms and provisions of this Indenture on the one hand and the terms and provisions of any Note or Note Guarantee on the other hand, the terms and provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

Any notice or communication by either of the Issuers, any Guarantor or the Trustee to the others is duly given if in writing and delivered in Person or mailed by first class mail (registered or certified, return receipt requested), telecopier or overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery, to the others’ address:

The Issuers, any Guarantor or the Trustee, by notice to the others, may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.

All notices and communications (other than those sent to Holders) shall be deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when answered back, if telecopied; and the next Business Day after timely delivery to the courier, if sent by overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery.

Any notice or communication to a Holder shall be mailed by first class mail, certified or registered, return receipt requested, or by courier to its address shown on the register kept by the Registrar. Failure to mail a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders.

If a notice or communication is mailed in the manner provided above within the time prescribed, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it.

If an Issuer mails a notice or communication to Holders, it shall provide a copy to the Trustee and each Agent at the same time.

Upon any request or application by an Issuer or a Restricted Parent to the Trustee to take any action under this Indenture, such Issuer or Restricted Parent, as applicable, shall furnish to the Trustee:

(1) an Officer’s Certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (which must include the statements set forth in Section 12.05) stating that, in the opinion of the signers, all conditions precedent and covenants, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been satisfied; and

(2) except with respect to the issuance of the Initial Notes, an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (which must include the statements set forth in Section 12.05) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent and covenants have been satisfied.

Each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture must include:

(1) a statement that the Person making such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition;

(2) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

(3) a statement that, in the opinion of such Person, he or she has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him or her to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant has been complied with or such condition has been satisfied; and

(4) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such Person, such condition has been satisfied or such covenant has been complied with.

The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of Holders. The Registrar or Paying Agent may make reasonable rules and set reasonable requirements for its functions.

Section 12.07 No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders.

No director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder, member or other holder of Equity Interests of the Issuers or any Guarantor, in their capacities as such and without limiting the Note Guarantees, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers or the Guarantors under the Notes, this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability that

may arise other than pursuant to a Note Guarantee. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

This Indenture may not be used to interpret any other indenture, loan or debt agreement of the Issuers or its Subsidiaries or of any other Person. Any such indenture, loan or debt agreement may not be used to interpret this Indenture.

All agreements of the Issuers in this Indenture and the Notes shall bind its successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors. All agreements of each Guarantor in this Indenture shall bind its successors, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05.

In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture. Each signed copy (including copies transmitted via telecopy or electronic mail) shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.

The Table of Contents and Headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part of this Indenture and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.

EACH OF THE ISSUERS, THE GUARANTORS AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

Each of the Canadian Issuer and the Note Guarantors organized under Canadian law hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: (1) submit itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Indenture, the Notes and, as applicable, its Note Guarantee for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, appellate courts from any thereof and courts of its own corporate domicile, with respect to actions brought against it as defendant; (2) consent that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waive any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; (3) designate and appoint U.S. Issuer as its authorized agent upon which process may be served in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Indenture, the Notes and, as applicable, its Note Guarantee that may be instituted in any federal or state court in the State of New York (and the U.S. Issuer hereby accepts such appointments); and (4) agree that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail addressed to the U.S. Issuer, with written notice of said service to such Person at the address of the U.S. Issuer set forth in this Indenture shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court.

The U.S. dollar is the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Issuers or any Note Guarantor under or in connection with the Notes, including damages. Any amount with respect to the Notes received or recovered in a currency other than U.S. dollars, whether as a result of, or the enforcement of, a judgment or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the winding-up or dissolution of the Issuers or any Note Guarantor or otherwise by any Holder of a Note or by the Trustee, in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Issuers or any Note Guarantor will only constitute a discharge to the Issuers or any Note Guarantor to the extent of the U.S. dollar amount which the recipient is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in that other currency on the date of that receipt or recovery (or, if it is not practicable to make that purchase on that date, on the first date on which it is practicable to do so).

If that U.S. dollar amount is less than the U.S. dollar amount expressed to be due to the recipient or the Trustee under the Notes, the Issuers and each Note Guarantor will indemnify such recipient and/or the Trustee against any loss sustained by it as a result. In any event, the Issuers and each Note Guarantor will indemnify the recipient against the cost of making any such purchase. For the purposes of this Section 12.17, it will be prima facie evidence of the matter stated therein, for the Holder of a Note or the Trustee to certify in a manner satisfactory to the Issuers (indicating the sources of information used) the loss it incurred in making any such purchase. These indemnities constitute a separate and independent obligation from the Issuers and each Note Guarantor’s other obligations, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any waiver granted by any Holder of a Note or the Trustee (other than a waiver of the indemnities set out herein) and will continue in full force and effect despite any other judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due under any Note or to the Trustee. For the purposes of determining the amount in a currency other than U.S. dollars, such amount shall be determined using the Exchange Rate then in effect.

For purposes of this Section 12.17, “Exchange Rate” means, on any day, the rate at which the currency other than U.S. dollars may be exchanged into U.S. dollars at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date on the Bloomberg Key Cross Currency Rates Page for the relevant currency. In the event that such rate does not appear on any Bloomberg Key Cross Currency Rate Page, the Exchange Rate shall be determined by the Issuers in good faith.

The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Trustee. The parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Trustee with such information as it may request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot Act.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Indenture to be duly executed as of April 16, 2013

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

(1) INTEREST. Taylor Morrison Communities, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Monarch Communities Inc., a British Columbia corporation (together, the “Issuers”), promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 5.25% per annum from [—] until maturity. The Issuers shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from [—]; provided that the first Interest Payment Date shall be [—]. The Issuers shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Notes. The Issuers shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Notes. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

(2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuers shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the April 1 or October 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes shall be payable as to principal, interest and premium, if any, at the office or agency of the Paying Agent within the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuers, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required with respect to principal, interest and premium, if any, on all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuers or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

(3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. An Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

(4) INDENTURE. The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of April 16, 2013 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. In the event of a conflict between the terms and provisions of the Indenture on the one hand and the terms and provisions of this Note or any Note Guarantee on the other hand, the terms and provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Issuers. Subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Issuers may issue Additional Notes.
