ARTICLE II

THE STAGE I NOTES

SECTION 2.1 Form and Dating.

The Stage I Notes and the Stage I Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture. The Stage I Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Stage I Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Stage I Notes initially shall be issued only in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The terms and provisions contained in the Stage I Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Stage I Issuer, the Guarantors and the Stage I Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Stage I Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

(a) The Stage I Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more Global Notes substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto and shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Stage I Notes represented thereby with the Stage I Trustee as custodian for the Depositary, and registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, duly executed by the Stage I Issuer and authenticated by the Stage I Trustee as hereinafter provided.

Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Stage I Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Stage I Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Stage I Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges, redemptions and transfers of interests. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Stage I Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Stage I Trustee or the Note Custodian, at the direction of the Stage I Trustee, in accordance with written instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.16 hereof.

Except as set forth in Section 2.6 hereof, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor of the Depositary or its nominee.

(b) The Stage I Notes are being issued by the Stage I Issuer only (i) to “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”)) (“QIBs”) and (ii) in reliance on Regulation S. After such initial offers, Stage I Notes that are Transfer Restricted Notes may be transferred to QIBs, in reliance on Rule 144A, outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S or to the Stage I Issuer, in accordance with certain transfer restrictions. Stage I Notes that are offered in reliance on Rule 144A shall be issued in the form of one or more permanent Global Notes substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A (the “QIB Global Note”) deposited with the Stage I Trustee, as Note Custodian, duly executed by the Stage I Issuer and authenticated by the Stage I Trustee as hereinafter provided. Stage I Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of the Regulation S Global Note, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Stage I Notes represented thereby with the Stage I Trustee, as Note Custodian for the Depositary, and registered in the name of the Depositary, duly executed by the Stage I Issuer and authenticated by the Stage I Trustee as hereinafter provided. Early termination of the Restricted Period may be effectuated upon receipt by the Stage I Trustee of (i) a written certificate from the Depositary certifying that they have received certification of non-United States beneficial ownership of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note (except to the extent of any beneficial owners thereof who acquired an interest therein during the Restricted Period pursuant to another exemption from registration under the Securities Act and who shall take delivery of a beneficial ownership interest in a QIB Global Note bearing a Restricted Notes Legend, all as contemplated by Section 2.6(e) hereof); and (ii) an Officers’ Certificate from the Stage I Issuer. The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Stage I Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, in connection with transfers of interest as hereinafter provided. The QIB Global Note and the Regulation S Global Note shall each be issued with separate CUSIP numbers. Transfers of Stage I Notes between QIBs and to or by purchasers pursuant to Regulation S shall be represented by appropriate increases and decreases to the respective amounts of the appropriate Global Note, as more fully provided in Section 2.16.

The Stage I Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any Holder, any member of (or a Participant in) DTC or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC (or its nominee) or of any Participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Stage I Notes or with respect to the delivery of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Stage I Notes (or other security or property) under or with respect to the Stage I Notes. The Stage I Trustee may rely (and shall be fully protected in relying) upon information furnished by DTC with respect to its members, Participants and any Beneficial Owners in the Stage I Notes.

(d) Stage I Notes issued in certificated form, including Global Notes, shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto.

SECTION 2.2 Execution and Authentication.

An Officer shall sign the Stage I Notes for the Stage I Issuer by manual or facsimile signature.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Stage I Note no longer holds that office at the time a Stage I Note is authenticated, the Stage I Note shall nevertheless be valid.

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

All Stage I Notes shall be dated the date of their authentication. The Stage I Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written Stage I Issuer Order signed by one Officer directing the Stage I Trustee to authenticate and deliver the Stage I Notes and certifying that all conditions precedent to the issuance of the Stage I Notes contained herein have been complied with (an “Authentication Order”) and an Opinion of Counsel, authenticate Stage I Notes for original issue up to the aggregate principal amount stated in paragraph 4 of the reverse of the Stage I Notes.

The Stage I Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Stage I Issuer to authenticate Stage I Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Stage I Notes whenever the Stage I Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Stage I Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or the Stage I Issuer or an Affiliate of the Stage I Issuer.

SECTION 2.3 Registrar; Paying Agent.

The Stage I Issuer shall maintain (i) an office or agency where Stage I Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and (ii) an office or agency where Stage I Notes may be presented for payment to a Paying Agent. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Stage I Notes (the “Note Register”) and of their transfer and exchange. The Stage I Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents; provided, however, that at all times there shall be only one Note Register. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Stage I Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Stage I Issuer shall notify the Stage I Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The Stage I Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

The Stage I Issuer initially appoints the Stage I Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and initially appoints the Corporate Trust Office of the Stage I Trustee as the office or agency of the Stage I Issuer for such purposes and as the office or agency of the Stage I Issuer where notices and demands to or upon the Stage I Issuer in respect of the Stage I Notes and this Indenture may be served and the Stage I Trustee as the agent of the Stage I Issuer to receive such notices and demands.

The Stage I Issuer initially appoints DTC to act as the Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

SECTION 2.4 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

The Stage I Issuer shall require each Paying Agent other than the Stage I Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Stage I Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Stage I Notes, and shall notify the Stage I Trustee of any Default by the Stage I Issuer in making any such payment. While any such Default continues, the Stage I Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Stage I Trustee. The Stage I Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Stage I Trustee. Upon payment over to the Stage I Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Stage I Issuer or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Stage I Issuer or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon the occurrence of events specified in Section 6.1(8) hereof, the Stage I Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Stage I Notes.

SECTION 2.5 Holder Lists.

The Stage I Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Stage I Trustee is not the Registrar, the Stage I Issuer shall furnish to the Stage I Trustee at least seven (7) Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Stage I Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Stage I Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders, including the aggregate principal amount of the Stage I Notes held by each Holder thereof, and the Stage I Trustee thereafter shall preserve such list in as current a form as is reasonably practicable.

SECTION 2.6 Book-Entry Provisions for Global Securities.

(a) Each Transfer Restricted Global Note shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Notes or the nominee of such Depositary, (ii) be delivered to the Stage I Trustee as custodian for such Depositary and (iii) bear legends as required by Section 2.6(e).

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

(b) Transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of Beneficial Owners in a Global Note may be transferred in accordance with Section 2.16 and the rules and procedures of the Depositary. In addition, Certificated Notes shall be transferred to all Beneficial Owners in exchange for their beneficial interests if (i) the Depositary notifies the Stage I Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Notes or the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Stage I Issuer within ninety (90) days of such notice or (ii) an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Stage I Trustee has actual notice has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from the Depositary to issue such Certificated Notes.

(c) In connection with the transfer of the entire Global Note to Beneficial Owners pursuant to clause (b) of this Section, such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Stage I Trustee for cancellation, and the Stage I Issuer shall execute, and the Stage I Trustee shall upon receipt of an Authentication Order authenticate and deliver, to each Beneficial Owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes of authorized denominations.

(d) The Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold an interest through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Stage I Notes.

(e) Legends. The following legends shall appear on the face of all Global Notes and Certificated Notes issued under this Indenture unless specifically stated otherwise in the applicable provisions of this Indenture:

(1) Restricted Notes Legend. Unless and until the Stage I Issuer determines that the following legend and the related restrictions on transfer are not required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act and there is delivered to the Stage I Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Stage I Trustee and a letter of representation of the Stage I Issuer reasonably satisfactory to the Stage I Trustee to that effect, each Global Note and each Certificated Note (and all Stage I Notes issued in exchange therefor or substitution therefor) shall bear the legend in substantially the following form:

(ii) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer, exchange, or redemption, but the Stage I Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such stamp or transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.2, 2.10, 3.6, 4.10, 4.14 and 9.4 hereto).

(iii) All Global Notes and Certificated Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Certificated Notes shall, upon execution by the Stage I Issuer and authentication by the Stage I Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, be the valid obligations of the Stage I Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Certificated Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(iv) The Registrar shall not be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange Stage I Notes during a period beginning at the opening of fifteen (15) days before the day of any selection of Stage I Notes for redemption under Section 3.2 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Stage I Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Stage I Note being redeemed in part, or (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Stage I Note between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date.

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

(vi) The Stage I Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Certificated Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof. Except as provided in Section 2.6(b), neither the Stage I Trustee nor the Registrar shall authenticate or deliver any Certificated Note in exchange for a Global Note.

(viii) The Stage I 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 Stage I Note (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or Beneficial Owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

(ix) Neither the Stage I Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

SECTION 2.7 Replacement Notes.

If any mutilated Stage I Note is surrendered to the Stage I Trustee, or the Stage I Issuer and the Stage I Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Stage I Note, the Stage I Issuer shall issue and the Stage I Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Stage I Note if the requirements set forth in Section 2.2 are met. If required by the Stage I Trustee or the Stage I Issuer, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Stage I Trustee and the Stage I Issuer to protect the Stage I Issuer, the Stage I Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Stage I Note is replaced. The Stage I Issuer and the Stage I Trustee may charge a Holder for their expenses in replacing a Stage I Note.

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

SECTION 2.8 Outstanding Notes.

The Stage I Notes outstanding at any time are all the Stage I Notes authenticated by the Stage I Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Stage I Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.8 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.9 hereof, a Stage I Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Stage I Issuer or an Affiliate of the Stage I Issuer holds the Stage I Note.

If a Stage I Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Stage I Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Stage I Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

If the principal amount of any Stage I Note is considered paid under Section 4.1 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

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

SECTION 2.9 Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Stage I Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Stage I Notes owned by the Stage I Issuer or by any Affiliate of the Stage I Issuer shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Stage I Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent only Stage I Notes that a Responsible Officer or the Stage I Trustee knows are so owned shall be disregarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Stage I Notes that are to be acquired by the Stage I Issuer or an Affiliate of the Stage I Issuer pursuant to an exchange offer, tender offer or other agreement shall not be deemed to be owned by such entity until legal title to such Stage I Notes passes to such entity. Stage I Notes owned by the Stage I Issuer or by any Affiliate of the Stage I Issuer which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Stage I Trustee, the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Stage I Notes and that the pledgee is not the Stage I Issuer or any obligor upon the Stage I Notes or any Affiliate of the Stage I Issuer or of such other obligor.

SECTION 2.10 Temporary Notes.

Until Certificated Notes are ready for delivery, the Stage I Issuer may prepare and the Stage I Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate temporary Stage I Notes.

All Stage I Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, if surrendered to any Person other than the Stage I Trustee, shall be delivered to the Stage I Trustee.

The Stage I Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date and shall promptly thereafter notify the Stage I Trustee in writing of any such date. At least fifteen (15) days before the special record date, the Stage I Issuer (or the Stage I Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Stage I Issuer) 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.

(e) General. By its acceptance of any Stage I Note bearing the Restricted Notes Legend, each Holder of such a Stage I Note acknowledges receipt of a Transfer Restricted Note with restrictions on transfer

of such Stage I Note set forth in this Indenture and in the Restricted Notes Legend and agrees that it shall transfer such Stage I Note only as provided in this Indenture.

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

SECTION 3.1 Notices to Stage I Trustee.

If the Stage I Issuer elects to redeem Stage I Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.7 hereof, it shall furnish to the Stage I Trustee, at least forty-five (45) days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Stage I Trustee) before a date fixed for redemption (the “redemption date”), an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (i) the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Stage I Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the Redemption Price.

SECTION 3.2 Selection of Stage I Notes to Be Redeemed.

If less than all of the Stage I Notes are to be redeemed, the Stage I Trustee, upon written direction of the Stage I Issuer and with two (2) Business Days’ notice, shall select the Stage I Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed by lot, pro rata or by any other method as the Stage I Trustee shall deem appropriate (subject to The Depository Trust Company’s procedures as applicable). No Stage I Notes of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption shall be delivered (to the extent permitted by Applicable Procedures or regulations, delivered electronically (and shall, in any event, be delivered concurrently with any corresponding notice by the Stage I Issuer to the Holders of the Existing Notes)) at least 30 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Stage I Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. If any Stage I Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Stage I Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Stage 1 Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Stage I Note will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Stage I Note. Stage I Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on Stage I Notes or portions of them called for redemption. The Stage I Trustee shall make the selection from the Stage 1 Notes outstanding and not previously called for redemption and shall promptly notify the Stage I Issuer in writing of the Stage I Notes selected for redemption. The Stage I Trustee may select for redemption portions (equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal of the Stage I Notes that have denominations larger than $2,000.

The Stage I Issuer may provide in any notice delivered in connection with any such redemption that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Stage I Issuer’s obligations may be performed by another Person; provided that the Stage I Issuer shall not be relieved of its obligations thereby.

SECTION 3.3 Notice of Redemption.

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.9, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Stage I Issuer shall mail or cause to be mailed by first class mail, in the case of Certificated Notes, and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Procedures or regulations, electronically, in the case of Global Notes, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Stage I Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address.

The notice shall identify the Stage I Notes (including the CUSIP numbers, if any) to be redeemed and shall state:

(1) the redemption date;

(2) the Redemption Price;

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

(4) the name, telephone number and address of the Paying Agent;

(5) that Stage I Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price;

(6) that, unless the Stage I Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest, if any, on Stage I Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

(7) the paragraph of the Stage I Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Stage I 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 Stage I Notes.

At the Stage I Issuer’s written request, the Stage I Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Stage I Issuer’s name and at the Stage I Issuer’s expense; provided, however, that the Stage I Issuer shall have delivered to the Stage I Trustee at least 45 days prior to the redemption date (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Stage I Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Stage I Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in the notices as provided in the preceding paragraph. The notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not a Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Stage I Note shall not affect the validity of the proceeding for the redemption of any other Stage I Note.

SECTION 3.4 Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Except as provided in this Section 3.4, once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof, Stage I Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to such date. Any redemption and notice of redemption may, at the Stage I Issuer’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent (including, in the case of a redemption related to an Equity Offering, the consummation of such Equity Offering). If redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice of redemption shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Stage I Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the stated redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed.

SECTION 3.5 Deposit of Redemption of Purchase Price.

Prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time, on each redemption date or the date on which Stage I Notes must be accepted for purchase pursuant to Section 4.14, the Stage I Issuer shall deposit with the Stage I Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Stage I Issuer is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Stage I Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Stage I Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Stage I Issuer any money deposited with the Stage I Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Stage I Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the Redemption Price of (including any Applicable Premium), and accrued interest, if any, on, all Stage I Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

SECTION 3.6 Notes Redeemed in Part.

Upon surrender of a Stage I Note that is redeemed in part, the Stage I Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of a Stage I Issuer Order, the Stage I Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Stage I Issuer a new Stage I Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Stage I Note surrendered.

SECTION 3.7 Optional Redemption.

In the event that the Stage I Issuer optionally redeems some or all of the Existing Notes in accordance with the Existing Indenture (other than with the proceeds of an Equity Offering), then the Stage I Notes shall be redeemed, in whole or in part in the same proportion as such Existing Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice (which notice shall, in any event, be delivered concurrently with the corresponding notice by the Stage I Issuer to the holders of the Existing Notes) delivered to each Holder’s registered address, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Stage I Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest (including, for the avoidance of doubt, pre-issuance interest), if any, to but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). For the avoidance of doubt, such redemption price shall be the same as the redemption price payable in respect of the Existing Notes in accordance with the Existing Indenture (as in effect as of the date hereof).

In the event that the Stage I Issuer redeems the Existing Notes with the net proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings, then the Stage I Issuer shall, in the same proportion as such Existing Notes, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Stage I Notes at a Redemption Price equal to 109.25% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including, for the avoidance of doubt, pre-issuance interest), if any, to but not including the date of redemption; provided that at least 65% of the principal amount of Stage I Notes then outstanding remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding Stage I Notes held by the Stage I Issuer or its Subsidiaries) and that any such redemption occurs within 180 days following the closing of any such Equity Offering.

SECTION 3.8 Mandatory Redemption.

Except as set forth in Section 3.11 of this Indenture, the Stage I Issuer shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Stage I Notes.

SECTION 3.9 Offer to Purchase.

On the Purchase Date, the Stage I Issuer shall purchase the aggregate principal amount of Stage I Notes required to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.10 or 4.14 hereof (the “Offer Amount”), or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Stage I Notes tendered in response to the Offer to Purchase. If the Purchase Date is on or after the interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Stage I Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest, if any, shall be payable to the Holders who tender Stage I Notes pursuant to the Offer to Purchase. The Stage I Issuer shall notify the Stage I Trustee at least 15 days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Stage I Trustee) prior to the mailing of the Offer of the Stage I Issuer’s obligation to make an Offer to Purchase, and the Offer shall be delivered by the Stage I Issuer or, at the Stage I Issuer’s request, by the Stage I Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Stage I Issuer. The Offer shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Stage I Notes pursuant to the Offer to Purchase.

On the Business Day preceding each Purchase Date, the Stage I Issuer shall irrevocably deposit with the Stage I Trustee or Paying Agent (or, if the Stage I Issuer or a Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) in immediately available funds the aggregate purchase price equal to the Offer Amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to be held for payment in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.9. On the Purchase Date, the Stage I Issuer shall, to the extent lawful, (i) accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary in the case of an Asset Sale Offer, the Offer Amount of Stage I Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Stage I Notes tendered, (ii) deliver or cause the Paying Agent or Depositary, as the case may be, to deliver to the Stage I Trustee Stage I Notes so accepted and (iii) deliver to the Stage I Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Stage I Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Stage I Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.9.

Any Stage I Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Stage I Issuer to the Holder thereof. The Stage I Issuer shall publicly announce in a newspaper of general circulation or in a press release provided to a nationally recognized financial wire service the results of the Offer to Purchase on the Purchase Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Stage I Note or any other Stage I Indenture Document, the consideration paid to each Holder on the date of such Stage II Notes Exchange Redemption (the “Exchange Redemption Date”) to redeem its Stage I Notes shall only consist of Stage II Notes issued by Stage I Issuer in exchange for an equal principal amount of such Stage I Notes and having the same terms as the Existing Notes. Unless the Exchange Redemption Date is a scheduled interest payment date for the Stage I Notes, the Stage I Issuer shall not be obligated to pay to any Holder any accrued and unpaid interest to the Exchange Redemption Date in connection with the Stage II Notes Exchange Redemption, which accrued and unpaid interest will be evidenced by the Stage II Notes issued to such Holder in exchange for its Stage I Notes (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

(b) The Stage I Issuer will only pay such redemption price for any Stage I Note through the issuance of a Stage II Note having an equal principal amount. On and after the Exchange Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on Stage I Notes called for redemption and the Stage I Notes and this Indenture will be deemed to have been satisfied and discharged in full as long as the Stage I Issuer has issued to each Holder of Stage II Notes in accordance with clause (a) above.

(xii) the consummation of the Transactions.

For purposes of this Section 4.7, if any Investment or Restricted Payment would be permitted pursuant to one or more provisions described above and/or one or more of the exceptions contained in the definition of “Permitted Investments,” the Stage I Issuer may classify such Investment or Restricted Payment in any manner that complies with this Section 4.7 and may later reclassify any such Investment or Restricted Payment so long as the Investment or Restricted Payment (as so reclassified) would be permitted to be made in reliance on the applicable exception as of the date of such reclassification.

If any Person in which an Investment is made, which Investment constitutes a Restricted Payment when made, thereafter becomes a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with this Indenture, all such Investments previously made in such Person shall no longer be counted as Restricted Payments for purposes of calculating the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments pursuant to clause (c) of the first paragraph under this Section 4.7 or clause (x) of the second paragraph under this Section 4.7, in each case to the extent such Investments would otherwise be so counted.

If the Stage I Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary transfers, conveys, sells, leases or otherwise disposes of an Investment in accordance with Section 4.10, which Investment was originally included in the aggregate amount expended or declared for all Restricted Payments pursuant to clause (c) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.7, the aggregate amount expended or declared for all Restricted Payments shall be reduced by the lesser of (i) the Net Cash Proceeds from the transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition of such Investment or (ii) the amount of the original Investment, in each case, to the extent originally included in the aggregate amount expended or declared for all Restricted Payments pursuant to clause (c) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.7.

For purposes of this Section 4.7, if a particular Restricted Payment involves a non-cash payment, including a distribution of assets, then such Restricted Payment shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the cash portion of such Restricted Payment, if any, plus an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the non-cash portion of such Restricted Payment.

SECTION 4.8 Limitation on Dividends and Other Payments Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.

The Stage I Issuer will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, cause or suffer to exist or become effective or enter into any encumbrance or restriction (other than pursuant to this Indenture, law, rules or regulation) on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Interests owned by any of the Stage I Issuer or Restricted Subsidiaries or pay any Debt or other obligation owed to any of the Stage I Issuer or Restricted Subsidiaries, (ii) make loans or advances to any of the Stage I Issuer or Restricted Subsidiaries thereof or (iii) transfer any of its property or assets to the Stage I Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiaries.

However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to the following encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(a) any encumbrance or restriction in existence on June 18, 2013 and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof; provided that the amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacement or refinancings, in the good faith judgment of the Stage I Issuer, are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend or other payment restrictions than those contained in these agreements on June 18, 2013;

(b) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement relating to an acquisition of property, so long as the encumbrances or restrictions in any such agreement relate solely to the property so acquired (and are not or were not created in anticipation of the acquisition thereof by the Stage I Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary);

(c) any encumbrance or restriction which exists with respect to a Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary after June 18, 2013, which is in existence at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, but not created in connection with or in anticipation of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary, and which is not applicable to any Person or the property or assets of any Person other than such Person or the property or assets of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary;

(d) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement effecting a permitted renewal, refunding, replacement, refinancing or extension of Debt issued pursuant to an agreement containing any encumbrance or restriction referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (c), so long as the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such refinancing agreement are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, to the Holders than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the agreements governing the Debt being renewed, refunded, replaced, refinanced or extended;

(e) customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of any lease, contract, or license of the Stage I Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or provisions in agreements that restrict the assignment of such agreement or any rights thereunder;

(f) any restriction on the sale or other disposition of assets or property securing Debt as a result of a Permitted Lien on such assets or property;

(g) any encumbrance or restriction by reason of applicable law, rule, regulation or order;

(i) restrictions on cash, Eligible Cash Equivalents or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(j) provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(k) any instrument governing Debt or Capital Interests of a Person acquired by the Stage I Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Debt or Capital Interests was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired;

(l) Liens securing Debt otherwise permitted to be incurred under this Indenture, including pursuant to Section 4.12, that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

(m) provisions of any Credit Facility and Existing Intercreditor Agreement as in effect on June 18, 2013 and provisions of any other Credit Facility or Existing Intercreditor Agreement that, as determined by management of the Stage I Issuer in its reasonable and good faith judgment, (i) will not materially impair the Stage I Issuer’s ability to make payments required under the Stage I Notes and (ii) are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than the provisions under any Credit Facility or Existing Intercreditor Agreement, as the case may be, as in effect on June 18, 2013;

(n) provisions of any agreement evidencing Debt incurred under Section 4.9 that, as determined by management of the Stage I Issuer in its reasonable and good faith judgment, (i) will not materially impair the Stage I Issuer’s ability to make payments required under the Stage I Notes and (ii) are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than customary for financings of this type;

(o) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to Purchase Money Debt and Capital Lease Obligations permitted under this Indenture, in each case, that impose encumbrances or restrictions of the nature discussed in clause (iii) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.8 on the property so acquired; and

(p) any customary encumbrances or restriction imposed pursuant to an agreement entered into for the direct or indirect sale or disposition to a Person of all or substantially all the Capital Interests or assets of the Stage I Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (or the property or assets that are subject to such restriction) pending the closing of such sale or disposition.

(iii) Debt, or pension withdrawal liabilities reflected in the most recent consolidated balance sheet of the Stage I Issuer as of June 18, 2013 that subsequently becomes Debt, of the Stage I Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary outstanding as of June 18, 2013 (other than clause (i) or (ii) above), including, without limitation, the 2015 Notes until their repurchase or redemption with the net proceeds of the issuance of Existing Notes;

(ix) the issuance by any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to the Stage I Issuer or to any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that:

(xv) Debt of the Stage I Issuer to a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that any such Debt owing to a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Stage I Notes; provided, further, that any subsequent issuance or transfer of any capital stock or any other event which results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent transfer of any such Debt (except to the Stage I Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, to be an incurrence of such Debt not permitted by this clause (xv);

(xvi) Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary to the Stage I Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary; provided that, if a Guarantor incurs such Debt to a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, such Debt is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Guarantee of such Guarantor; provided, further, that any subsequent issuance or transfer of capital stock or any other event that results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any subsequent transfer of any such Debt (except to the Stage I Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, to be an incurrence of such Debt not permitted by this clause (xvi);

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.9, (x) the outstanding principal amount of any Debt shall be counted only once such that (without limitation) any obligation arising under any Guarantees or obligations with respect to letters of credit supporting Debt otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount shall not be included and (y) except as provided above, in the event that an item of Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Debt described above, including categories of Permitted Debt and Section 4.9(a), the Stage I Issuer, in its sole discretion, shall classify, and from time to time may reclassify, all or any portion of such item of Debt and such Debt need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision of this Section 4.9 but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 4.9.

(d) The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest on Debt in the forms of additional Debt or payment of dividends on Capital Interests in the forms of additional shares of Capital Interests with the same terms and changes in the amount outstanding due solely to the result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Debt or issuance of Capital Interests for purposes of this Section 4.9.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the maximum amount of Debt that may be outstanding pursuant to this Section 4.9 will not be deemed exceeded due to the results of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Debt, the U.S. dollar equivalent principal amount of Debt denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Debt was Incurred.

(f) None of the Stage I Issuer and Guarantors will Incur any Debt that pursuant to its terms is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Debt unless such Debt is subordinated in right of payment to the Stage I Notes and the Note Guarantees to at least the same extent; provided that Debt will not be considered subordinate or junior

in right of payment to any other Debt solely by virtue of being unsecured or secured to a greater or lesser extent or with greater or lower priority.

SECTION 4.10 Limitation on Asset Sales.

(a) The Stage I Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly consummate an Asset Sale of any Notes Collateral, unless:

(1) other than in the case of an Event of Loss, the Stage I Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of;

(2) other than in the case of an Event of Loss, at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Stage I Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash, Eligible Cash Equivalents or Additional Assets;

(3) to the extent that any consideration received by the Stage I Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale constitute securities or other assets that constitute Collateral, such securities or other assets, including the assets of any Person that becomes a Guarantor as a result of such transaction, are following their acquisition added to the Collateral securing the Stage I Notes in accordance with the requirements of the Security Documents and the Existing Intercreditor Agreement; and

(4) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of, or would occur after giving effect, on a pro forma basis, to, such Asset Sale.

Within 365 days after the Stage I Issuer’s or a Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale covered by this clause (a), the Stage I Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale:

(i) to make one or more offers to the Holders of the Stage I Notes and holders of the Existing Notes (and, at the option of the Stage I Issuer, the holders of Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations) to purchase Stage I Notes and Existing Notes (and such Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations) pursuant to and subject to the conditions contained in this Indenture (each, an “Asset Sale Offer”); provided, however, that in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Debt pursuant to this clause (i), the Stage I Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary shall permanently retire such Debt and shall cause the related loan commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or purchased; provided, further, that if the Stage I Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary shall so reduce any Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations, the Stage I Issuer will equally and ratably reduce Debt under the Stage I Notes by making an offer to all Holders of Stage I Notes to purchase at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, the pro rata principal amount of the Stage I Notes, such offer to be conducted in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer but without any further limitation in amount; or

(ii) to an Investment in (a) any one or more businesses; provided that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Interests and results in the Stage I Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Interests of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (b) properties, (c) capital expenditures or (d) other assets that, in each of (a), (b), (c) and (d), replace the businesses, properties and assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale or are used or useful in a Permitted Business (clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) together, the “Additional Assets”); provided that to the extent that the assets that were subject to the Asset Sale constituted Notes Collateral, such Additional Assets shall also constitute Notes Collateral; provided, further, that the Stage I Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, promptly takes such action (if any) as may be required to cause that portion of such Investment constituting Notes Collateral to be added to the Notes Collateral securing the Stage I Notes;

provided that in the case of clause (ii) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Cash Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Stage I Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Cash Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment; provided, further, that if such commitment is later terminated or cancelled prior to the application of such Net Cash Proceeds, then such Net Cash Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds.

Any Net Cash Proceeds from the Asset Sales covered by this clause (a) that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in the preceding paragraph will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” Within 15 business days after the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10,000,000, the Stage I Issuer shall make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of the Stage I Notes, to all Holders of Existing Notes under the Existing Indenture and, if required by the terms of any Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations, to the holders of such Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations, to purchase the maximum principal amount of Stage I Notes, Existing Notes and such Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations that is $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Stage I Notes, Existing Notes and such Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Stage I Issuer may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Stage I Notes, Existing Notes or the Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Stage I Issuer shall select the Stage I Notes, the Existing Notes and such Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Stage I Notes, Existing Notes or such Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations tendered. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. After the Stage I Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary has applied the Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale of any Notes Collateral as provided in, and within the time periods required by, this clause (a), the balance of such Net Cash Proceeds, if any, from such Asset Sale of Notes Collateral shall be released by the Stage I Collateral Agent to the Stage I Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary for use by the Stage I Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary for any purpose not prohibited by the terms of this Indenture.

(b) The Stage I Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly consummate an Asset Sale of any assets that do not constitute Notes Collateral, unless:

(1) other than in the case of an Event of Loss, the Stage I Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Stage I Issuer) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of;

(3) to the extent that any consideration received by the Stage I Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale constitutes securities or other assets that constitute Collateral, such securities or other assets, including the assets of any Person that becomes a Guarantor as a result of such transaction, are following their acquisition added to the Collateral securing the Stage I Notes in accordance with the requirements of the Security Documents; and

(4) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of, or would occur after giving effect, on a pro forma basis, to, such Asset Sale.

Within 365 days after the Stage I Issuer’s or Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds from any such Asset Sale covered by this clause (b), the Stage I Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary may at its option do any one or more of the following:

(i) reduce any Debt under the ABL Credit Agreement or any Debt of the Stage I Issuer or a Guarantor that in each case is secured by a Lien on the ABL Collateral that is prior to the Lien on the ABL Collateral in favor of Holders of Stage I Notes, in each case other than Debt owed to the Stage I Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Stage I Issuer (but without, in the case of any reduction of revolving obligations under an asset based revolving credit agreement, the requirement for any permanent reduction in the amount of commitments in respect thereof);

(ii) make an Investment in Additional Assets; provided, further, that the Stage I Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, promptly takes such action (if any) as may be required to cause that portion of such Investment constituting Collateral to be added to the Collateral securing the Stage I Notes; or

(iii) to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are not from Asset Sales of Collateral, permanently reduce Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, other than Debt owed to a Stage I Issuer, a Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary;

Any Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale of any assets that do not constitute Notes Collateral that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in the preceding paragraph will be deemed to constitute “Excess ABL Proceeds”. Within 15 business days after the aggregate amount of Excess ABL Proceeds exceeds $10,000,000, the Stage I Issuer shall make an offer to all Holders of the Stage I Notes, holders of the Existing Notes, and, if required by the terms of any Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations, to the holders of such Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations (an “ABL Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum principal amount of Stage I Notes, Existing Notes and such Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations that is $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof that may be purchased out of the Excess ABL Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, 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. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Stage I Notes, Existing Notes and such Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations tendered pursuant to an ABL Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess ABL Proceeds, the Stage I Issuer may use any remaining Excess ABL Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Stage I Notes, Existing Notes or the Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess ABL Proceeds, the Stage I Issuer shall select the Stage I Notes, Existing Notes and such Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Stage I Notes, Existing Notes or such Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations tendered. Upon completion of any such ABL Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess ABL Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

Pending the final application of any Net Cash Proceeds pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 4.10, the Stage I Issuer or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net Cash Proceeds temporarily to reduce Debt outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

(c) For the purposes of this Section 4.10, any sale by the Stage I Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Capital Interests of the Stage I Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary that owns assets constituting Notes Collateral or ABL Collateral shall be deemed to be a sale of such Notes Collateral or ABL Collateral (or, in the event of a Restricted Subsidiary that owns assets that include any combination of Notes Collateral and ABL Collateral, a separate sale of each of such Notes Collateral and ABL Collateral). In the event of any such sale (or a sale of assets that includes any combination of Notes Collateral and ABL Collateral), the proceeds received by the Stage I Issuer and the

Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of such sale shall be allocated to the Notes Collateral and ABL Collateral in accordance with their respective fair market values, which shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Stage I Issuer or, at the Stage I Issuer’s election, an independent third party. In addition, for purposes of this Section 4.10, any sale by the Stage I Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Capital Interests of any Person that owns only ABL Collateral will not be subject to clause (a) above, but rather will be subject to clause (b) above.

(d) For purposes of this Section 4.10, the following are deemed to be cash or Eligible Cash Equivalents:

(1) any liabilities (as shown on the Stage I Issuer’s, or such Restricted Subsidiary’s, most recent balance sheet or in the notes thereto) of the Stage I Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and for which the Stage I Issuer and all Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing; and

(2) any securities received by the Stage I Issuer, a Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Stage I Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale.

The Stage I Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Stage I Notes pursuant to an Offer to Purchase. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture, the Stage I Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

SECTION 4.11 Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.

The Stage I Issuer will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction or series of related transactions, contract, agreement, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Stage I Issuer (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:

(i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that, taken as a whole, are not materially less favorable to the Stage I Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could reasonably have been obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction by the Stage I Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unaffiliated party; and

(ii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5,000,000, the Stage I Issuer delivers to the Stage I Trustee a resolution adopted in good faith by the majority of the Board of Directors of the Stage I Issuer approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) above; and

(iii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $20,000,000, the Stage I Issuer must obtain and deliver to the Stage I Trustee a written opinion of a nationally recognized investment banking, accounting or appraisal firm (an “Independent Financial Advisor”) stating that the transaction is fair to the Stage I Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point of view.

The foregoing limitation does not limit, and shall not apply to:

(1) Restricted Payments that are permitted by the provisions of this Indenture pursuant to Section 4.7 or Permitted Investments;

(2) the payment of reasonable and customary fees and indemnities to members of the Board of Directors of the Stage I Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary;

(3) the payment (and any agreement, plan or arrangement relating thereto) of reasonable and customary compensation and other benefits (including retirement, health, option, deferred compensation and other benefit plans) and indemnities to officers and employees of the Stage I Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary;

(4) transactions between or among the Stage I Issuer and/or the Restricted Subsidiaries;

(5) the issuance of Capital Interests (other than Redeemable Capital Interests) of the Stage I Issuer otherwise permitted hereunder and the granting of registration and other customary rights in connection therewith;

(6) any agreement or arrangement as in effect on June 18, 2013 and any amendment, extension or modification thereto so long as such amendment, extension or modification is not more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Stage I Notes in any material respect;

(7) any agreement between any Person and an Affiliate of such Person existing at the time such Person is acquired by or merged into the Stage I Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such agreement was not entered into in contemplation of such acquisition or merger, or any amendment thereto so long as such amendment, extension or modification is not more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Stage I Notes in any material respect;

(8) transactions in which the Stage I Issuer delivers to the Stage I Trustee a written opinion from an Independent Financial Advisor to the effect that the transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Stage I Issuer and any relevant Restricted Subsidiaries;

(9) any contribution of capital to the Stage I Issuer;

(10) the existence of, or the performance by the Stage I Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any stockholders agreement (including any registration rights agreement) to which it is a party as of June 18, 2013 and any similar agreements which it may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that the existence of, or the performance by the Stage I Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations under, any future amendment to any such existing agreement or any similar agreement entered into after June 18, 2013 shall only be permitted by this clause (10) to the extent that the terms of any such amendment or new agreement are not otherwise disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders when taken as a whole as compared to the original agreement in effect on June 18, 2013;

(11) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services that do not directly or indirectly, own Capital Interests in the Stage I Issuer and in which the Stage I Issuer does not, directly or indirectly, own Capital Interests, in each case, in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture and which are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with an unaffiliated party; and

(12) the Transactions and the payment of all fees and expenses related to the Transactions.

SECTION 4.12 Limitation on Liens.

(a) The Stage I Issuer will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind on or with respect to the Collateral except Permitted Collateral Liens.

(b) Subject to Section 4.12(a), the Stage I Issuer will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind, other than Permitted Liens, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom other than the Collateral without securing the Stage I Notes and all other amounts due under this Indenture and the Security Documents (for so long as such Lien exists) equally and ratably with (or prior to) the obligation or liability secured by such Lien.

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.12, (A) a Lien securing an item of Debt need not be permitted solely by reference to the above paragraph or to one category (or portion thereof) of Permitted Liens described in 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 Debt (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of the above paragraph or one or more of the categories (or portions thereof) of Permitted Liens described in the definition of “Permitted Liens,” the Stage I Issuer shall, in its sole discretion, divide, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify, or reclassify, such Lien securing such item of Debt (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.

(d) With respect to any Lien securing Debt that was permitted to secure such Debt at the time of the Incurrence of such Debt, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Debt. The “Increased Amount” of any Debt shall mean any increase in the amount of such Debt 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 Debt with the same terms or in the form of common equity of the Stage I Issuer or any direct or indirect payment of the Stage I Issuer, 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 Debt outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Debt.

SECTION 4.13 Maintenance of Property and Insurance.

Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of Article X and the provisions of the applicable Security Documents, all property (including equipment) material to, and used or useful in the conduct of the business of the Stage I Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as whole, shall be maintained and kept in good operating condition and working order (ordinary wear and tear and casualty loss excepted), and the Stage I Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall make any repairs, replacements and improvements thereto as they determine to be reasonable and prudent; provided that the Stage I Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be obligated to comply with the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.13 to the extent that the Stage I Issuer’s management determines that the maintenance and repair of such property is no longer in the best interests of the Stage I Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

The Stage I Issuer will provide or cause to be provided, for itself and its Restricted Subsidiaries, insurance (including appropriate self-insurance) on its and its Subsidiaries business and the Collateral, with recognized, financially sound insurers or with the government of the United States of America, or an agency or instrumentality thereof, in such amounts, with such deductibles and by such methods as are determined by the Stage I Issuer in good faith to be reasonable and prudent.

SECTION 4.14 Offer to Purchase upon Change of Control.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Stage I Notes will have the right to require the Stage I Issuer to repurchase all or any part of the outstanding Stage I Notes at a Purchase Price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount tendered, together with accrued and unpaid interest (including, for the avoidance of doubt, pre-issuance interest), if any, to but not including the Purchase Date pursuant to an Offer to Purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). For purposes of the foregoing, an Offer to Purchase shall be deemed to have been made if (i) within 60 days following the date of the consummation of a transaction or series of transactions that constitutes a Change of Control, the Stage I Issuer commences an Offer to Purchase all outstanding Stage I Notes at the Purchase Price (which Offer to Purchase shall, in the case of any Change of Control that also constitutes a “Change

of Control” under the Existing Indenture, be mailed concurrently with the corresponding offer by the Stage I Issuer to Holders of the Existing Notes) and (ii) all Stage I Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Offer to Purchase are purchased on the terms of such Offer to Purchase.

If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Stage I Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Stage I Notes in an Offer to Purchase upon a Change of Control and the Stage I Issuer, or any third party making the Offer to Purchase in lieu of the Stage I Issuer as described below, purchases all of the Stage I Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Stage I Issuer or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Offer to Purchase described above, to redeem all Stage I Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest (including, for the avoidance of doubt, pre-issuance interest), if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption.

On the Purchase Date, the Stage I Issuer shall, to the extent lawful, (a) accept for payment all Stage I Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, (b) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Stage I Notes or portions thereof so tendered and (c) otherwise comply with Section 3.9.

The Change of Control provisions described above will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable.

The Stage I Issuer will not be required to make an Offer to Purchase upon a Change of Control if (i) a third party makes such Offer to Purchase contemporaneously with or upon a Change of Control in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth herein applicable to an Offer to Purchase made by the Stage I Issuer and purchases all Stage I Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Offer to Purchase or (ii) a notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.7(a) or Section 3.7(b) or (iii) a notice of redemption has been given pursuant Section 3.11.

The Stage I Issuer will be required to comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws or regulations in connection with an Offer to Purchase. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of this Indenture, the Stage I Issuer will comply with Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws and regulations and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of such compliance.

In addition, an Offer to Purchase 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 making the Offer to Purchase.

SECTION 4.15 Corporate Existence.

Except as permitted by Section 11.5 and Article V hereof, as the case may be, the Stage I Issuer shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Stage I Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary; provided that the Stage I Issuer shall not be required to preserve the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries to the extent that the Stage I Issuer’s management determines that the preservation thereof is no longer in the best interests of the Stage I Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

SECTION 4.16 Limitation on Business Activities.

The Stage I Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any business other than a Permitted Business.

SECTION 4.17 Additional Note Guarantees.

The Stage I Issuer will cause (i) each of the Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiaries (other than (x) any Foreign Subsidiary and (y) any Restricted Subsidiary that is prohibited by law from guaranteeing the Stage I Notes or that would experience adverse regulatory consequences as a result of providing a guarantee of the Stage I Notes (so long as, in the case of this clause (y), such Restricted Subsidiary has not provided a guarantee of any other Debt of the Stage I Issuer or any of the Guarantors)) and (ii) any other Restricted Subsidiary that is a guarantor or co-borrower under any Credit Facility to guarantee the Stage I Notes and the Stage I Issuer’s other obligations under this Indenture within thirty (30) days of becoming a Restricted Subsidiary.

Subject to Section 4.19, such Guarantor will within thirty (30) days of becoming such Restricted Subsidiary enter into a joinder agreement to the applicable Security Documents or new Security Documents defining the terms of the security interests that secure payment and performance when due of the Stage I Notes and take all actions advisable in the opinion of the Stage I Issuer, as set forth in an Officers’ Certificate accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the Stage I Issuer to cause the Liens created by the Security Documents to be duly perfected to the extent required by such documents in accordance with all applicable law, including the filing of financing statements in the jurisdictions of incorporation or formation of the Stage I Issuer and the Guarantors. The Stage I Issuer shall also deliver an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Stage I Trustee which shall include enforceability of the Guarantee and the opinions set forth in Section 12.3. The Note Guarantees will be released as set forth in Article XI.

SECTION 4.18 Limitation on Creation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

The Stage I Issuer may designate any Subsidiary of the Stage I Issuer to be an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” as provided below, in which event such Subsidiary and each other Person that is a Subsidiary of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

The Stage I Issuer may designate any Subsidiary (including any newly formed or newly acquired Subsidiary) of the Stage I Issuer as an Unrestricted Subsidiary under this Indenture (a “Designation”) only if:

(1) no Default shall be continuing after giving effect to such Designation; and

(2) the Stage I Issuer would be permitted to make, at the time of such Designation, (i) a Permitted Investment or (ii) an Investment pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 4.7, in either case, in an amount (the “Designation Amount”) equal to the Fair Market Value of the Stage I Issuer’s proportionate interest in such Subsidiary on such date.

No Subsidiary shall be Designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary unless such Subsidiary:

(1) to the extent the Debt of the Subsidiary is not Non-Recourse Debt, any guarantee or other credit support thereof by the Stage I Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary is permitted under Section 4.9;

(2) is not party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding that would not be permitted under Section 4.11; and

(3) is a Person with respect to which neither the Stage I Issuer nor any Restricted Subsidiary has any direct or indirect obligation (a) to subscribe for additional Capital Interests or (b) to maintain or preserve the Person’s financial condition or to cause the Person to achieve any specified levels of operating results, unless such obligation is a Permitted Investment or is otherwise permitted under Section 4.7.

If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary fails to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Debt of the Subsidiary and any Liens on assets of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of the date and, if the Debt is not permitted to be incurred under Section 4.9, or the Lien is not permitted under Section 4.12, the Stage I Issuer shall be in default of the applicable covenant.

An Unrestricted Subsidiary may be designated as a Restricted Subsidiary if (i) all the Debt of such Unrestricted Subsidiary could be Incurred in accordance with Section 4.9 and (ii) all the Liens on the property and assets of such Unrestricted Subsidiary could be incurred pursuant to Section 4.12.

All Designations must be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Stage I Trustee certifying compliance with the foregoing provisions.

SECTION 4.19 Further Assurances..

(a) The Stage I Issuer will, and will cause each of the existing and future Restricted Subsidiaries to, at their expense, duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, such further agreements, documents and instruments and do or cause to be done such further acts, in each case, as may be reasonably necessary and proper to:

(i) effectuate the purposes of this Indenture and the Security Documents;

(ii) evidence, perfect, maintain and enforce the validity, effectiveness and priority of any of the Liens created, or intended to be created, by the Security Documents; and

(iii) ensure the protection and enforcement of any of the rights granted or intended to be granted to the Stage I Trustee under any other instrument executed by the Stage I Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection therewith.

SECTION 4.20 Stage I Additional Interest; Stage I Additional Interest Notice.

(a) In the event that the Stage I Issuer is required to pay Additional Interest (as defined in the Existing Indenture) to holders of Existing Notes pursuant to the Existing Registration Rights Agreement, the annual interest rate on the Stage I Notes will increase at the same times and in the same amounts as the interest rate on the Existing Notes (such increase, the “Stage I Additional Interest”). Following the cure of all Registration Defaults (as defined in the Existing Registration Rights Agreement), the interest rate on the Stage I Notes will revert to the original level.

(b) The Stage I Issuer will provide written notice (“Stage I Additional Interest Notice”) to the Trustee of its obligation to pay Stage I Additional Interest no later than five days prior to the proposed payment date for the Stage I Additional Interest, and the Stage I Additional Interest Notice shall set forth the amount of Stage I Additional Interest to be paid by the Stage I Issuer on such payment date. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any holder of Stage I Notes to determine the Stage I Additional Interest, or with respect to the nature, extent, or calculation of the amount of Stage I Additional Interest owed, or with respect to the method employed in such calculation of the Stage I Additional Interest.

The preceding clause (iii) will not prohibit a merger between the Stage I Issuer and an Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of converting the Stage I Issuer into a corporation organized under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision or state thereof; so long as, the amount of Debt of the Stage I Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby, except for Debt incurred in the ordinary course of business to pay fees, expenses and other costs associated with such transaction.

SECTION 5.2 Successor Person Substituted.

Upon any transaction or series of transactions that are of the type described in, and are effected in accordance with, conditions described in Section 5.1, the Surviving Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Stage I Issuer under this Indenture with the same effect as if such Surviving Entity had been named as the Stage I Issuer herein, as applicable; and when a Surviving Entity duly assumes all of the obligations and covenants of the Stage I Issuer pursuant to this Indenture and the Stage I Notes, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Person shall be relieved of all such obligations.

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

The Stage I Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default and shall not have any duty or responsibility in respect thereof unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Stage I Trustee has received written notice of such Event of Default or has actual knowledge of such Event of Default. Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Stage I Trustee under Section 4.3 is for informational purposes only and the Stage I Trustee’s

receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Stage I Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder or the existence of an Event of Default (as to which the Stage I Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates, except as otherwise provided herein).

SECTION 6.2 Acceleration.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (8) of Section 6.1 with respect to the Stage I Issuer) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Stage I Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Stage I Notes may declare the principal of the Stage I Notes and any accrued interest on the Stage I Notes to be due and payable immediately by a notice in writing to the Stage I Issuer (and to the Stage I Trustee if given by Holders); provided, however, that after such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Stage I Notes may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal of or interest on the Stage I Notes, have been cured or waived as provided in this Indenture.

In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Stage I Notes solely because an Event of Default described in clause (6) of Section 6.1 has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Stage I Notes shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (6) of Section 6.1 shall be remedied or cured by the Stage I Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary waived by the holders of the relevant indebtedness within 20 Business Days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if the rescission and annulment of the acceleration of the Stage I Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Stage I Trustee for the payment of amounts due on the Stage I Notes.

If an Event of Default specified in clause (8) of Section 6.1 occurs with respect to the Stage I Issuer, the principal of and any accrued interest on the Stage I Notes then outstanding shall ipso facto become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Stage I Trustee or any Holder. The Stage I Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any Default (except Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest) if the Stage I Trustee determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the Holders to do so.

SECTION 6.3 Other Remedies.

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

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

SECTION 6.4 Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Stage I Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Stage I Notes waive any past Default under this Indenture and its consequences, except a Default:

(i) in any payment in respect of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Stage I Notes (including any Stage I Note which is required to have been purchased pursuant to an Offer to Purchase which has been made by the Stage I Issuer), or

(ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Stage I Note affected.

SECTION 6.5 Control by Majority.

Subject to the terms of the Security Documents and Section 7.2(f), the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Stage I Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Stage I Trustee or exercising any trust power conferred on it. However, (i) the Stage I Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Stage I Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or that may involve the Stage I Trustee in personal liability, and (ii) the Stage I Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Stage I Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

SECTION 6.6 Limitation on Suits.

A Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Stage I Notes only if:

(a) the Holder gives to the Stage I Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default or the Stage I Trustee receives such notice from the Stage I Issuer;

(b) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Stage I Notes make a written request to the Stage I Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(c) such Holder or Holders, provide to the Stage I Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Stage I Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(d) the Stage I Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the provision of such indemnity; and

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

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

SECTION 6.7 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

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

SECTION 6.8 Collection Suit by Stage I Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Stage I Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Stage I Issuer for the whole amount of principal of, premium and interest remaining unpaid on the Stage I 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 Stage I Trustee, its agents and counsel.

SECTION 6.9 Stage I Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Stage I 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 Stage I Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Stage I Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Stage I Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Stage I Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other securities or property payable or deliverable upon the conversion or exchange of the Stage I Notes or on any such claims and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Stage I Trustee, and in the event that the Stage I Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Stage I Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Stage I Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Stage I Trustee under Section 7.7 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Stage I Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Stage I Trustee under Section 7.7 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Stage I 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 Stage I Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Stage I Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 6.10 Priorities.

Subject to the terms of the Security Documents, any money collected by the Stage I Trustee (or received by the Stage I Trustee from the Stage I Collateral Agent under any Security Documents) pursuant to this Article VI and any money or other property distributable in respect of the Stage I Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture after an Event of Default shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Stage I Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, upon presentation of the Stage I Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

First: to the Stage I Trustee (including any predecessor Stage I Trustee) and Stage I Collateral Agent, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.7 hereof, including payment of all reasonable compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Stage I Trustee or Stage I Collateral Agent and the costs and expenses of collection;

Second: to Holders of Stage I Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Stage I 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 Stage I Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest respectively; and

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

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

SECTION 6.11 Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Stage I Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Stage I 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, 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 Stage I Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Stage I Notes.

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Stage I 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 Stage I Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Stage I Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the certificates and opinions specifically required to be furnished to it to determine whether or not they conform on their face to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts or conclusions stated therein).

The Stage I Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any such document.

(b) Before the Stage I Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Stage I Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

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

(d) The Stage I 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.

(h) The rights, privileges, protections and benefits given to the Stage I Trustee, including its rights to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Stage I Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Persons employed to act hereunder or under any Security Document (including the Stage I Collateral Agent).

(k) The permissive right of the Stage I Trustee to take or refrain from taking any actions enumerated in this Indenture or any Security Document shall not be construed as a duty.

SECTION 7.3 Individual Rights of Stage I Trustee.

The Stage I Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Stage I Notes and may otherwise deal with the Stage I Issuer or any Affiliate of the Stage I Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Stage I Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Stage I Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

SECTION 7.4 Stage I Trustee’s Disclaimer.

Neither the Stage I Trustee nor the Stage I Collateral Agent shall be responsible for or make any representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Stage I Notes, or the existence, genuineness, value or protection of any Stage I Collateral (except for the safe custody of Stage I Collateral in its possession actually received by it in accordance with the terms hereof) for the legality, effectiveness or sufficiency of any Security Document, or for the creation, perfection, priority, sufficiency or protection of any Lien in the Stage I Collateral, and neither shall be accountable for the Stage I Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Stage I Notes or any money paid to the Stage I Issuer or upon the Stage I Issuer’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, neither shall be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Stage I Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Stage I Notes, any statement or recital in any document in connection with the sale of the Stage I Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than the Stage I Trustee’s certificate of authentication on the Stage I Notes.

SECTION 7.5 Notice of Defaults.

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

SECTION 7.6 Reports by Stage I Trustee to Holders of the Stage I Notes.

Within 60 days after each March 1 beginning with the March 1, 2014, and for so long as Stage I Notes remain outstanding, the Stage I Trustee shall mail to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Stage I Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b). The Stage I Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c).

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders shall be mailed to the Stage I Issuer and filed with the Commission and each stock exchange on which the Stage I Notes are listed in accordance with TIA § 313(d).

SECTION 7.7 Compensation and Indemnity.

The Stage I Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall pay to the Stage I Trustee and the Stage I Collateral Agent from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the Stage I Issuer and the Stage I Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Stage I Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Stage I Issuer shall reimburse the Stage I Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable 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 Stage I Trustee’s agents and counsel.

The Stage I Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Stage I Trustee and the Stage I Collateral Agent (which for purposes of this Section 7.7 shall include its officers, directors, stockholders, employees and agents) against any and all claims, damage, losses, liabilities or expenses including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Stage I Trustee) 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 Stage I Issuer (including this Section 7.7) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Stage I Issuer or 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, claim, damage, liability or expense shall be determined to have been caused by its own negligence or willful misconduct, in the case of the Stage I Trustee, or its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in the case of the Stage I Collateral Agent, in each case as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Stage I Trustee (or the Stage I Collateral Agent, as the case may be) shall notify the Stage I Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Stage I Trustee (or the Stage I Collateral Agent, as the case may be) to so notify the Stage I Issuer shall not relieve the Stage I Issuer of their obligations hereunder. The Stage I Issuer shall defend the claim and the Stage I Trustee (or the Stage I Collateral Agent, as the case may be) shall cooperate in the defense. The Stage I Trustee (or the Stage I Collateral Agent, as the case may be) may have one separate counsel, but at the Stage I Trustee’s (or the Stage I Collateral Agent’s, as the case may be) expense unless the named parties in any such proceeding (including impleaded parties) include both the Stage I Issuer and the Stage I Trustee (or the Stage I Collateral Agent, as the case may be) and in the reasonable judgment of the Stage I Trustee (or Stage I Collateral Agent, as the case may be) representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing or conflicting interests between them. The Stage I Issuer need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

To secure the Stage I Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in this Section 7.7, the Stage I Trustee and the Stage I Collateral Agent shall have a Lien prior to the Stage I Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Stage I Trustee or the Stage I Collateral Agent, except that held in trust to pay principal or interest, if any, on particular Stage I Notes.

In addition, and without prejudice to the rights provided to the Stage I Trustee and the Stage I Collateral Agent under any of the provisions of this Indenture, when the Stage I Trustee or the Stage I Collateral Agent incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(8) hereof 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.

“Stage I Trustee” for the purposes of this Section 7.7 shall include any predecessor Stage I Trustee and the Stage I Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder and each agent, custodian and other person employed to act hereunder or under any Security Document; provided, however, that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Stage I Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Stage I Trustee hereunder.

The Stage I Trustee shall comply with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable.

The provisions of this Section 7.7, including the obligations of the Stage I Issuer and the Guarantors hereunder, shall survive the satisfaction and discharge or termination for any reason of this Indenture or the resignation or removal of the Stage I Trustee or the Stage I Collateral Agent.

SECTION 7.8 Replacement of Stage I Trustee.

A resignation or removal of the Stage I Trustee and appointment of a successor Stage I Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Stage I Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.8.

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

(a) the Stage I Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;

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

(d) the Stage I Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

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

If a successor Stage I Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Stage I Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Stage I Trustee, the Stage I Issuer or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Stage I Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Stage I Trustee.

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

A successor Stage I Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Stage I Stage I Trustee and to the Stage I Issuer. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Stage I Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Stage I Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and the duties of the Stage I Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Stage I Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Holders. The retiring Stage I Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Stage I Trustee to the successor Stage I Trustee, provided that all sums owing to the Stage I Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.7 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Stage I Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Stage I Issuer’s obligations under and the Lien provided for in Section 7.7 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Stage I Trustee.

SECTION 7.9 Successor Stage I Trustee by Merger, Etc.

If the Stage I Trustee or any Agent consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another Person, the successor Person without any further act shall be the successor Stage I Trustee or any Agent, as applicable.

SECTION 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification.

There shall at all times be a Stage I 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 trust power and that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. The Stage I

Trustee together with its Affiliates shall at all times have a combined capital surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent annual report of condition.

This Indenture shall always have a Stage I Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA §§ 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Stage I Trustee is subject to TIA § 310(b) including the provision in § 310(b)(1); provided that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Stage I Issuer or the Guarantors are outstanding if the requirements for exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.

SECTION 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Stage I Issuer.

(a) U.S. Bank National Association is hereby designated and appointed as the Stage I Collateral Agent under the Security Documents, and is authorized and directed as the Stage I Collateral Agent for such Holders to execute and enter into each of the Security Documents and all other instruments relating to the Security Documents and (i) to take action and exercise such powers as are expressly required or permitted hereunder and under the Security Documents and all instruments relating hereto and thereto and (ii) to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are in each case, expressly delegated to the Stage I Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and thereof together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental hereto and thereto.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Indenture or the Security Documents, the Stage I Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein or therein or any fiduciary relationship with any Holder, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture or any Security Document or otherwise exist against the Stage I Collateral Agent.

(c) The Stage I Collateral Agent may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder or under the Security Documents in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel

(d) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, neither the Stage I Trustee nor the Stage I Collateral Agent shall have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and neither the Stage I Trustee nor the Stage I Collateral Agent shall be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral.

ARTICLE XI

NOTE GUARANTEES

SECTION 11.1 Note Guarantee.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the Stage I Notes and obligations of the Stage I Issuer hereunder and thereunder, and guarantees to each Holder of a Stage I Note authenticated and delivered by the Stage I Trustee and to the Stage I Trustee on behalf of such Holder, that: (i) the principal of and premium, if any and interest on the Stage I Notes shall be paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise (including the amount that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), together with interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any overdue interest, to the extent lawful, and all other obligations of the Stage I Issuer to the Holders or the Stage I Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Stage I Notes or of any such other obligations, the same shall be 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. Each of the Note Guarantees shall be a guarantee of payment and not of collection.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Stage I Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Stage I Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor.

(c) Each Guarantor hereby waives the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand for payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Stage I Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Stage I Issuer or any other Person, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor shall not be discharged as to any Stage I Note except by complete performance of the obligations contained in such Stage I Note and such Note Guarantee or as provided for in this Indenture. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in payment of principal or premium, if any or interest on such Stage I Note, whether at its Stated Maturity, by acceleration, call for redemption, purchase or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Stage I Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holder of such Stage I Note, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against each of the Guarantors to enforce such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee without first proceeding against the Stage I Issuer or any other Guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Stage I Trustee or any of the Holders are prevented by applicable law from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the maturity of the Stage I Notes, to collect interest on the Stage I Notes, or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the Stage I Notes, such Guarantor shall pay to the Stage I Trustee for the account of the Holders, upon demand therefor, the amount that would otherwise have been due and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the Stage I Trustee or any of the Holders.

(d) If any Holder or the Stage I Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Stage I Issuer or any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Stage I Issuer or any Guarantor, any amount paid by any of them to the Stage I Trustee or such Holder, the Note Guarantee of each of the Guarantors, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. This Section 11.1(d) shall remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by the Stage I Trustee or any

Holder in reliance upon such amount required to be returned. This Section 11.1(d) shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

(e) Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Stage I Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI hereof for the purposes of the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor.

SECTION 11.2 Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantees.

To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.1, each Guarantor agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B shall be endorsed on each Stage I Note authenticated and delivered by the Stage I Trustee. Such notation of Note Guarantee shall be signed on behalf of such Guarantor by an officer of such Guarantor (or, if an officer is not available, by a board member, director or member, as applicable) on behalf of such Guarantor by manual or facsimile signature. In case the officer, board member or director or member of such Guarantor who shall have signed such notation of Note Guarantee shall cease to be such Officer, board member, director or member before the Stage I Note on which such Note Guarantee is endorsed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Stage I Trustee, such Stage I Note nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered as though the Person who signed such notation of Note Guarantee had not ceased to be such officer, board member, director or member.

Each Guarantor agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.1 shall remain in full force and effect and apply to all the Stage I Notes notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Stage I Note a notation of such Note Guarantee. The delivery of any Stage I Note by the Stage I Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of any Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

The failure to endorse a Note Guarantee shall not affect or impair the validity thereof.

SECTION 11.3 Severability.

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

SECTION 11.4 Limitation of Guarantors’ Liability.

Each Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder 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 the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law or the provisions of its local law relating to fraudulent transfer or conveyance. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Stage I Trustee, the Holders and Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount that will not, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor 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 its Note Guarantee, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

SECTION 11.5 Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc., on Certain Terms.

No 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 such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person other than the Stage I Issuer or a Guarantor, unless:

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

(2) either:

(A) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under this Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture; or

(B) the transaction constitutes a sale or other disposition of the Guarantor in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.10 hereof or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Guarantor is otherwise permitted by this Indenture; and

(3) the Stage I Issuer delivers, or cause to be delivered, to the Stage I Trustee an Officers’ Certificate (upon which the Stage I Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively and exclusively rely), stating that such sale, other disposition, consolidation or merger complies with the requirements of this Indenture.

Upon any transaction or series of transactions that are of the type described in, and are effected in accordance with, conditions described in the immediately preceding paragraph, the surviving entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Guarantors under this Indenture with the same effect as if such surviving entity had been named as a Guarantor herein, as applicable; and when a surviving entity duly assumes all of the obligations and covenants of one or more Guarantors pursuant to this Indenture and the Note Guarantees, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Person shall be relieved of all such obligations.

Except as set forth in Articles IV and V hereof, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Stage I Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Stage I Issuer or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Stage I Issuer or another Guarantor.

SECTION 11.6 Release of a Guarantor.

The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released:

(a) in the event of a sale or other transfer (including by way of consolidation or merger) of Capital Interests in such Guarantor in compliance with Section 4.10 following which such Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary;

(b) in connection with any sale, disposition or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor (including by way of consolidation or merger) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Stage I Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Stage I Issuer, if the sale, disposition or transfer does not violate Sections 4.10, 5.1 or 11.5, including the application of the Net Proceeds therefrom; provided, however, that such Guarantor is released from its obligations as a borrower, its guarantees, if any, of, and all pledges and security, if any, granted in connection with, any Credit Facility and any other Debt of the Stage I Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Stage I Issuer;

(d) upon a release of such Guarantor from its obligations as a borrower, its guarantee of, and all pledges and security interest, if any, granted under the ABL Credit Agreement in connection with an enforcement action by the collateral agent under the ABL Credit Agreement; provided that (x) prior to such release, such Guarantor is also a guarantor or borrower under the ABL Credit Agreement and (y) after giving effect to such release, such Guarantor will not guarantee any indebtedness of the Stage I Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries nor be obligated as a co-borrower for any indebtedness of the Stage I Issuer;

(e) in connection with a Discharge, legal defeasance or covenant defeasance in compliance with Article VIII.

Upon any release of a Guarantor from its Note Guarantee, such Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released from its obligations under the Security Documents.

SECTION 11.7 Benefits Acknowledged.

Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that its Stage I Notes guarantee and waivers pursuant to its Note Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

SECTION 11.8 Future Guarantors.

Each Person that is required to become a Guarantor after June 18, 2013 pursuant to Section 4.17 shall promptly (but no longer than thirty (30) days of becoming required to become a Guarantor) execute and deliver to the Stage I Trustee a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit E pursuant to which such Person shall become a Guarantor. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the Stage I Issuer shall deliver to the Stage I Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate (upon which the Stage I Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively and exclusively rely) to the effect, subject to customary assumptions and qualifications, that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Person and that, subject to the application of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and to the principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity, the Guarantee of such Guarantor is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms and/or to such other matters as the Stage I Trustee may reasonably request.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE STAGE I NOTES, THE NOTE GUARANTEES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

All agreements of the Stage I Issuer and the Guarantors in this Indenture and the Stage I Notes and the Note Guarantees, as applicable, shall bind their respective successors and assigns. All agreements of the Stage I Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors and assigns.

SECTION 12.10 Severability.

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

SECTION 12.11 Counterpart Originals.

The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.

SECTION 12.13 Acts of Holders.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Stage I Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Stage I Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Stage I Trustee and the Stage I Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 12.13.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to such officer the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than such signer’s individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of such signer’s authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Stage I Trustee deems sufficient.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Stage I Note shall bind every future Holder of the same Stage I Note and the holder of every Stage I Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Stage I Trustee or the Stage I Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Stage I Note.

(e) If the Stage I Issuer shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Stage I Issuer may, at its option, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Stage I Issuer shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of outstanding Stage I Notes have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the outstanding Stage I Notes shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date.

Jack Cooper Finance Co., a Delaware corporation, or following the merger of Jack Cooper Finance Co., with and into Jack Cooper Holdings Corp. in accordance with the Indenture, Jack Cooper Holdings, Inc. (the “Stage I Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Stage I Note (the “Stage I Notes”) at the rate of 9.25% per annum. The Stage I Issuer will pay interest in United States dollars (except as otherwise provided herein) semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1, commencing on December 1, 2013, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Stage I Notes (including any Stage I Additional Interest, if any) shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including June 18, 2013. The Stage I Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate equal to then applicable interest rate on the Stage I Notes to the extent lawful; it 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 period) at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. The interest rate on the Stage I Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application.

(2) Method of Payment. The Stage I Issuer will pay interest on the Stage I Notes (except defaulted interest) on the applicable Interest Payment Date to the Persons who are registered Holders of Stage I Notes at the close of business on the May 15 and November 15 (whether or not a Business Day) preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Stage I Notes are cancelled 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 Stage I Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium and interest at the office or agency of the Stage I Issuer maintained for such purpose within or without The City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Stage I Issuer, 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 of, premium, if any, and interest on, all Global Notes and all other Stage I Notes the Holders of which shall have provided written wire transfer instructions to the Stage I Issuer and the Paying Agent at least three Business Days prior to the date of any such payment. 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.

Any payments of principal of and interest on this Stage I Note prior to Stated Maturity shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Stage I Note and of any Stage I Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. The amount due and payable at the maturity of this Stage I Note shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Stage I Note at an office of the Stage I Trustee or the Stage I Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes.

(3) Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, the Stage I Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Stage I Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Stage I Issuer may act in any such capacity.

(4) Indenture. The Stage I Issuer issued the Stage I Notes under an Indenture, dated as of November 7, 2013 (the “Indenture”), among the Stage I Issuer, the Stage I Trustee and the Stage I Collateral Agent. The terms of the Stage I Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made a part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”). To the extent the provisions of

A-6

this Stage I Note are inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture, the Indenture shall govern. The Stage I Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. The Stage I Notes issued on the Stage I Issue Date are senior secured Obligations of the Stage I Issuer limited to $150,000,000 in aggregate principal amount, plus amounts, if any, sufficient to pay premium and interest on outstanding Stage I Notes as set forth in Paragraph 2 hereof.

(5) Optional Redemption.

(a) In the event that the Stage I Issuer optionally redeems some or all of the Existing Notes in accordance with the Existing Indenture (other than with the proceeds of an Equity Offering), then the Stage I Notes shall be redeemed, in whole or in part in the same proportions as such Existing Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice (which notice shall, in any event, be delivered concurrently with the corresponding notice by JCHC to the holders of the Existing Notes) delivered to each Holder’s registered address, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Stage I Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest (including, for the avoidance of doubt, pre-issuance interest), if any, to but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). For the avoidance of doubt, such redemption price shall be the same as the redemption price payable in respect of the Existing Notes in accordance with the Existing Indenture (as in effect as of the date hereof).

(b) In the event that the Stage I Issuer redeems the Existing Notes with the net proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings, then the Stage I Issuer shall, in the same proportion as such Existing Notes, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Stage I Notes at a Redemption Price equal to 109.25% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including, for the avoidance of doubt, pre-issuance interest), if any, to but not including the date of redemption; provided that at least 65% of the principal amount of Stage I Notes then outstanding remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of any such redemption (excluding Stage I Notes held by the Stage I Issuer) and that any such redemption occurs within 180 days following the closing of any such Equity Offering.

(6) Mandatory Redemption. Except as set forth under Sections 3.10 and 3.11 of the Indenture, the Stage I Issuer shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Stage I Notes.

(7) Repurchase at Option of Holder.

(a) Upon the occurrence of certain events, the Stage I Issuer may be required to commence an Offer to Purchase as a result of a Change of Control.

(b) Holders of the Stage I Notes that are the subject of an Offer to Purchase will receive notice of an Offer to Purchase as a result of a Change of Control from the Stage I Issuer prior to any related Purchase Date and may elect to have such Stage I Notes purchased by completing the form titled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” appearing below.

(8) Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Stage I Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Stage I Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in a minimum amount of $2,000 principal amount (and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof), unless all of the Stage I Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on the Stage I Notes or portions hereof called for redemption.

(9) Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Stage I Notes are in registered form without coupons in initial denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of the Stage I Notes may be registered and the Stage I Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Stage I Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Stage I Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by this

A-7

Indenture. The Stage I Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of any Stage I Note or portion of a Stage I Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Stage I Note being redeemed in part. Also, it need not exchange or register the transfer of any Stage I Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Stage I Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

(10) Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Stage I Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

With the consent of (i) the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Stage I Notes, the Stage I Issuer and the Stage I Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental to the Indenture (together with the other consents required thereby) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or the Stage I Notes or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders under the Indenture, including the definitions therein, and (ii) the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Stage I Notes, voting as one class, the Stage I Issuer, the Stage I Trustee and the Stage I Collateral Agent may amend or otherwise modify in any manner the Security Documents or the obligations thereunder, including, without limitation, as to property that constitutes less than all or substantially all of the Stage I Collateral, release the Lien on such Stage I Collateral; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture, modification or amendment shall, without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Stage I Note affected thereby:

The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Stage I Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Stage I Notes waive any past default under the Indenture and its consequences, except a default:

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (8) above with respect to the Stage I Issuer) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Stage I Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Stage I Notes may declare the principal of the Stage I Notes and any accrued interest on the Stage I Notes to be due and payable immediately by a notice in writing to the Stage I Issuer (and to the Stage I Trustee if given by Holders); provided, however, that after such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Stage I Notes may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal of or interest on the Stage I Notes, have been cured or waived as provided in the Indenture.

In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Stage I Notes solely because an Event of Default described in clause (6) above has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Stage I Notes shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default

A-11

pursuant to clause (6) above shall be remedied or cured by the Stage I Issuer (other than in the case of subclause (6)(b) above) waived by the holders of the relevant indebtedness within 20 Business Days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if the rescission and annulment of the acceleration of the Stage I Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Stage I Trustee for the payment of amounts due on the Stage I Notes.

If an Event of Default specified in clause (8) above occurs with respect to the Stage I Issuer, the principal of and any accrued interest on the Stage I Notes then outstanding shall ipso facto become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Stage I Trustee or any Holder. The Stage I Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any Default (except Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest) if the Stage I Trustee determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the Holders to do so.

(13) Trustee Dealings with Stage I Issuer. The Stage I Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from and perform services for Stage I Issuer or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with Stage I Issuer or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Stage I Trustee.

(14) No Recourse Against Others.

FORM OF PERMITTED ADDITIONAL PARI PASSU SECURED PARTY JOINDER

[Name of Authorized Representative]

[Address of Authorized Representative]

[Date]

The undersigned is the Authorized Representative for [list names of new secured parties] who have evidenced in writing their intent and consent to become Secured Parties (the “New Secured Parties”) under the Security Agreement, dated as of June 18, 2013 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), by and among Jack Cooper Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), each of the subsidiaries signatories thereto (each such subsidiary, individually, a “Subsidiary Grantor” and, collectively, the “Subsidiary Grantors”; and together with the Issuer, the “Grantors”) and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, as the Collateral Agent. Terms used herein but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Security Agreement.

In consideration of the foregoing, the undersigned Authorized Representative hereby:

(i) represents that the Authorized Representative has been duly authorized by the New Secured Parties to become a party to the Security Agreement on behalf of the New Secured Parties under that [DESCRIBE OPERATIVE AGREEMENT] (the “New Secured Obligations”) and to act as the Authorized Representative for the New Secured Parties, including to appoint the Collateral Agent as set forth below;

(ii) acknowledges that each of the New Secured Parties has received a copy of the Security Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Indenture, and accepts, acknowledges and agrees for itself and each New Secured Party to be bound in all respects by the terms of the Security Agreement, including the provisions of the Indenture incorporated therein by reference;

(iii) appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent, as Collateral Agent for the New Secured Parties under the Security Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, to take such action as agent on its behalf and on behalf of all other Secured Parties and to exercise such powers under the Security Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms thereof;

(iv) accepts, acknowledges and agrees for itself and each New Secured Party to be bound in all respects by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement applicable to it and the New Secured Parties and agrees to serve as Authorized Representative for the New Secured Parties with respect to the New Secured Obligations and agrees on its own behalf and on behalf of the New Secured Parties to be bound by the terms thereof applicable to holders of Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations, with all the rights and obligations of a Notes Claimholder (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) thereunder and bound by all the provisions thereof (including, without limitation, Section 9.3 thereof) as fully as if it had been a Notes Claimholder on the effective date of the Intercreditor Agreement and agrees that its address for receiving notices pursuant to the Security Agreement and the other Security Documents shall be as follows:

[Address]

The New Secured Parties shall be the Authorized Representative and the holders of the New Secured Obligations.

The Authorized Representative for itself and each New Secured Party does hereby covenant and agree in favor of the Collateral Agent that:

The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Authorized Representatives or any of the Secured Parties to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Grantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Collateral Agent’s liens or security interests have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all or any Grantor’s property constituting collateral intended to be subject to the lien and security interest of the Security Agreement has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Agreement, any Notes Document or the Intercreditor Agreement other than pursuant to the instructions provided in the Security Agreement, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to the Authorized Representative or any Secured Party as to any of the foregoing.

No provision of the Security Agreement or any Notes Document shall require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Required Secured Parties unless the Collateral Agent shall have received indemnity satisfactory to the Collateral Agent against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Collateral Agent relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Security Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Notes Documents, in the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under the mortgages or take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has determined that the Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances unless the Collateral Agent has received security or indemnity from the Secured Parties in an amount and in a form all satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, protecting the Collateral Agent from all such liability. The Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described above if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Grantors or the Secured Parties to be sufficient.

The Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with the Intercreditor Agreement or any Notes Documents or instrument referred to herein or therein, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Issuers (and money held in trust by the Collateral Agent need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law) and (iii) may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act.

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

The Collateral Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Grantors under the Security Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Notes Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to the Secured Parties or any other Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any Notes Documents or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, the Security Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Notes Document; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of the Security Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and any Notes Documents of any other party thereto; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Notes Obligations; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its Notes Obligations under the Security Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Notes Documents. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to any Secured Party or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any obligor of any terms of the Security Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Notes Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in the Security Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and any Notes Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under the Security Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Notes Documents unless expressly set forth hereunder or thereunder. The Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from the Required Secured Parties with respect to the administration of the Notes Documents.

The Secured Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that the Collateral Agent shall not assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of the Security Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Notes Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the Secured Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under the Security Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Notes Documents, the Collateral Agent may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral, including without limitation the properties under the real property that constitute Collateral, and that any such actions taken by the Collateral Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral, including without limitation the real properties that constitute Collateral, as those terms are defined in Section 101(20)(E) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 9601 et seq., as amended.

(g) The Authorized Representative for itself and on behalf of the New Secured Parties, shall take such action as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to carry out the intent of the foregoing obligations of the Authorized Representative and the New Secured Parties, an including executing, acknowledging, authorizing, delivering or recording or filing additional instruments, agreements or documents.

The Collateral Agent, by acknowledging and agreeing to this Permitted Additional Pari Passu Secured Party Joinder, and in consideration of the foregoing representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Authorized Representative and each other New Secured Party accepts the appointment set forth in clause (iii) above.

THIS OTHER PARI PASSU LIEN SECURED PARTY JOINDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
