Interest on a Financing Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a re- sponsible financial or accounting officer of the Lead Issuer to be the rate of interest implicit in such Fi- nancing Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period ex- cept as set forth in the first paragraph of this definition. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be

determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank of- fered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Lead Issuer may designate.

Each item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock that is incurred or issued, each Lien in- curred and each other transaction undertaken will be deemed to have been incurred, issued or taken first, to the extent available, pursuant to the relevant Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio or Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio test.

ARTICLE 2 THE NOTES

Section 2.01. Form and Dating; Terms.

(a)General. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rules or usage. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(b)Global Notes. Notes issued in global form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit

A-1 hereto, including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto. Notes issued in definitive form shall be substantially in the form of Ex- hibit A-1 hereto, but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto. Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified in the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto and each shall provide that it shall represent up to the aggregate principal amount of Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as applicable, to reflect exchanges and redemp- tions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggre- gate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Cus- todian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as re- quired by Section 2.06 hereof.

(c)Temporary Global Notes. Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S shall be is- sued initially in the form of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee, as Custodian for the Depositary and registered in the name of the Depositary, duly executed by the Issuers and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided.

Following the termination of the applicable Restricted Period, the Regulation S Temporary Global Note Legend shall be deemed removed from the Regulation S Temporary Global Note, following which temporary beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note shall automatically be- come beneficial interests in the Regulation S Permanent Global Note pursuant to the Applicable Proce- dures.

The aggregate principal amount of a Regulation S Temporary Global Note and a Regulation S Permanent Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the rec- ords of the Registrar, the Trustee and/or the Paying Agent and the applicable Depositary or their respec- tive nominees, as the case may be, in connection with transfers of interest as hereinafter provided.

(d)Terms. The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited.

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

The Notes shall be subject to repurchase by the Issuers pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer or Ad- vance Offer, as the case may be, as provided in Section 4.10 hereof or a Change of Control Offer as pro- vided in Section 4.14 hereof. The Notes shall not be redeemable, other than as provided in Article 3 hereof.

Subject to compliance with Section 4.09 and Section 4.12 hereof, the Issuers may issue Notes from time to time ranking pari passu with the Initial Notes without notice to or consent of the Holders, and such Additional Notes shall be consolidated with and form a single class with the Initial Notes (ex- cept as otherwise provided for herein) and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Initial Notes, except that interest may accrue on the Additional Notes from their date of issuance (or such other date specified by the Lead Issuer); provided, however, that a separate CUSIP or ISIN will be issued for the Additional Notes, unless the Initial Notes and the Additional Notes are treated as fungi- ble for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any Additional Notes may be issued with the benefit of an in- denture supplemental to this Indenture.

Section 2.02. Execution and Authentication. At least one Officer of the Issuers shall execute the Notes on behalf of the Issuers by manual, facsimile or electronic (including “.pdf”) signature.

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

A Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and deliv- ered under this Indenture.

On the Issue Date, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer’s Order (an “Authentication Or- der”), authenticate and deliver the Initial Notes in the aggregate principal amount or amounts specified in such Authentication Order. In addition, at any time, from time to time, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate and deliver any Additional Notes for an aggregate principal amount specified in such Authentication Order for such Additional Notes issued or increased hereunder.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent (an “Authentication Agent”) acceptable to the Lead Issuer to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An Authentication Agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Lead Issuer.

Section 2.03. Registrars, Transfer Agents and Paying Agents. The Issuers shall maintain (i) one or more registrars with respect to the Notes where such Notes may be presented for registration (each, a “Registrar”), which shall be U.S. Bank National Association as of the date of this Indenture with re- spect to the Notes, (ii) one or more offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented for transfer or for exchange (each, a “Transfer Agent”), which shall be U.S. Bank National Association as of the date of this Indenture with respect to the Notes, and (iii) one or more offices or agencies where the Notes, as applicable, may be presented for payment (each, a “Paying Agent”), which shall be U.S. Bank National Association as of the date of this Indenture with respect to the Notes. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes (“Note Register”), and of their transfer and exchange and keep such Note Register in ac- cordance with the rules and procedures of DTC. The registered Holder of a Note will be treated as the

owner of such Note for all purposes and only registered Holders shall have rights under this Indenture and the Notes. The Issuers may appoint one or more co-registrars, one or more co-transfer agents and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar, the term “Transfer Agent” includes any co-transfer agent and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agents. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder.

The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this In- denture. If the Issuers fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar, Transfer Agent or Paying Agent, the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee shall act as such. Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar.

The Issuers initially appoints The Depository Trust Company, its nominees and successors

(“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. In acting hereunder and in connection with the Notes, the Transfer Agent, the Paying Agent and the Registrar shall act solely as agents of the

Issuers and will not thereby assume any obligations towards or relationship of agency or trust for or with any Holder of the Notes.

The Issuers initially appoint the Trustee to act as the Registrar for the Notes and the Paying Agent and Transfer Agent for the Notes and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

If any Notes are listed on an exchange and the rules of such exchange so require, the Issuers will satisfy any requirement of such exchange as to paying agents, registrars and transfer agents and will com- ply with any notice requirements required under such exchange in connection with any change of paying agent, registrar or transfer agent.

Section 2.04. Notes Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The Issuers shall require any Pay- ing Agent with respect to the Notes other than the Trustee to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders of the Notes or the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal and premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuers in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require the Paying Agent with respect to the Notes (other than the Trustee) to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuers at any time may require the Paying Agent with respect to the Notes (other than the Trustee) to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent with respect to the Notes (if other than Holdings or a Subsidiary thereof or the Trustee) shall have no further liability for the money. If any of Holdings or a Subsidiary thereof 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 any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuers, the Trus- tee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.05. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders.

Section 2.07. Replacement Notes. If either (x) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trus- tee, the Registrar or the Issuers, or (y) the Lead Issuer and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfac- tion of the ownership and destruction, loss or theft of any Note, then the Issuers shall issue and, the Trus- tee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order and satisfaction of any other requirements of the Trustee, shall authenticate a replacement Note. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of both (i) the Trustee to protect the Trustee and

(ii)the Issuers to protect the Issuers, the Trustee, any Agent and any Authentication Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuers and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note.

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

Section 2.08. Outstanding Notes. The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authen- ticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reduc- tions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note

does not cease to be outstanding because an Issuer or a Guarantor or an Affiliate of an Issuer or a Guaran- tor holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trus- tee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code).

Notes in exchange for or in lieu of which other Notes have been authenticated and delivered pur- suant to this Indenture shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes hereof.

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, such Note shall cease to be outstanding and interest thereon shall cease to accrue.

If a Paying Agent (other than the Issuer or a Guarantor or an Affiliate of an Issuer or a Guarantor) holds, on a Redemption Date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes (or portions thereof) payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding (including for accounting purposes) and shall cease to accrue interest on and after such date.

Section 2.09. Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Lead Issuer or by any Subsidiary or Controlled Affiliate of the Lead Issuer shall be considered as though not outstand- ing, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to such pledged Notes and that the pledgee is not the Lead Issuer or a Guarantor or any Controlled Affiliate of the Lead Issuer.

Section 2.10. Temporary Notes. Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuers may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate tem- porary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have vari- ations that the Lead Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits accorded to Holders, or beneficial holders, respectively, of Notes under this Indenture.

Section 2.11. Cancellation. The Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for can- cellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any such Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the applicable Registrar or the Paying Agent and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registra- tion of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such cancelled Notes in its customary manner (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act). Certi- fication of the cancellation of all cancelled Notes shall be delivered to the Lead Issuer its their written re- quest therefor. The Issuers may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that they have paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12. Defaulted Interest. If the Issuers default in a payment of interest on the Notes, they shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at

the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Lead Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writ- ing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed pay- ment, and at the same time the Issuers shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the ag- gregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satis- factory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when de- posited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.12. The Lead Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. The Lead Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of any such special record date. At least 15 days before any such special record date, the Lead Issuer (or, upon the written request of the Lead Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuers) shall send or cause to be sent to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice at his or her address as it appears in the Note Register that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and for greater certainty, each Note deliv- ered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

Section 2.13. CUSIP, ISIN or Common Code Numbers. The Issuers in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP, ISIN, Common Code or other similar numbers (in each case, if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP, ISIN, Common Code or other similar numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or exchange shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Lead Issuer will as promptly as practicable notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP, ISIN, Common Code or other similar numbers.

Subject to Section 3.07(e) and Section 3.08 hereof, the Issuers shall send electronically, mail or cause to be mailed by first-class mail, postage pre- paid, notices of redemption or purchase at least 10 days but not more than 60 days (except as set forth in Section 3.07(f) hereof) before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed or pur-

chased at such Holder’s registered address stated in the Note Register or otherwise in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, except that redemption or purchase notices may be delivered or mailed more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 11 hereof. Notices of redemption or purchase may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be conditional.

(d)the name and address of the Paying Agent;

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

Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption or Purchase. A notice of redemption or pur- chase, if delivered electronically, mailed or caused to be mailed in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to deliver such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemp- tion or purchase in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption or purchase of any other Note. Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date, subject to satisfaction or waiver of any conditions specified in the notice. Subject to Section 3.05 hereof, on and after the Redemption Date, unless the Issuers default in the payment of the redemption or purchase price, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes called for re- demption or purchase.

Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price.

(a)Prior to noon (New York City time) on the Redemption Date, the Issuers shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued

and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that Redemption Date; provided, however, that to the extent any such funds are received by the Paying Agent from the Issuers after such time on such due date, such funds will be distributed to such Persons within one Business Day of receipt thereof. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuers any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuers in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed.

(b)If the Issuers comply with the provisions of the preceding clause (a), on and after the Re- demption Date, unless the Issuers default in the payment of the redemption price and subject to the satis- faction or waiver of any conditions set forth in the applicable notice of redemption, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after an applicable Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemp- tion Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such Record Date in accordance with Applicable Procedures. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Issuers to comply with the preced- ing paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the Redemption Date until such princi- pal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest accrued to the Redemption Date not paid on such un- paid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

Section 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Definitive Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuers shall issue and upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder, at the expense of the Issuers, a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed; provided that each new Note will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, only an Authen- tication Order and an Officer’s Certificate and not an Opinion of Counsel are required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Note.

Section 3.07. Optional Redemption.

(a)Except as set forth in clauses (b), (d) and (e) of this Section 3.07, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Issuers’ option prior to November 1, 2024 (the “First Call Date”).

(b)At any time prior to the First Call Date, the Issuers may, at their option and on one or more occasions, redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon notice in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (A) 100.0% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus

(B) the Applicable Premium as of the Redemption Date, plus (C) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date falling prior to or on the Redemption Date.

(c)At any time on and after the First Call Date, the Issuers may, at their option and on one or more occasions, redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon notice in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date falling prior to or on the Redemption Date, if redeemed during the twelve- month period beginning on November 1 of each of the years indicated below:


Year						Notes Redemption Price
2024 ..........................................................................................						103.000%
2025 ..........................................................................................						101.500%
2026 and thereaf- ter ..........................................................................................						100.000%

(d)At any time prior to the First Call Date, the Issuers may, at their option and on one or more occasions, redeem an aggregate principal amount of Notes not to exceed the amount of the Net Cash Proceeds received by the Lead Issuer from one or more Equity Offerings or a contribution to the Lead Is- suer’s common equity capital made with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings, upon notice in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, at a redemption price equal to (i) 106.000% of the aggre- gate principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but exclud- ing, the Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of Notes of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date falling prior to or on the Redemption Date; provided that (A) the amount redeemed shall not exceed 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under this Indenture (including any Additional Notes); (B) at least 50% of the aggregate

principal amount of the Notes originally issued under this Indenture on the Issue Date remains outstand- ing immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption (unless all Notes are redeemed substan- tially concurrently); and (C) each such redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of closing of the applicable Equity Offering. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes that may be redeemed pursuant to this Section 3.07(d) cannot exceed the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds from the relevant Equity Offer- ings.

(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any tender offer, Change of Control Offer, Alternate Offer or Asset Sale Offer for the Notes, if Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate prin- cipal amount of the then outstanding Notes validly tender and do not validly withdraw such Notes in such offer and the Issuers, or any third party making such offer in lieu of the Issuers, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuers or such third party will have the right upon not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 60 days follow- ing such purchase date, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price equal to the price offered to each other Holder in such offer (which may be less than par) plus, to the ex- tent not included in the offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the Redemption Date. For the avoidance of doubt, in determining whether the Holders of at least 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have validly tendered and not validly withdrawn Notes in a tender offer, Change of Control Offer, Alternate Offer or Asset Sale Offer, as applicable, Notes owned by an Affiliate of the Issuers or by funds controlled or managed by any Affiliate of the Issuers, or any successor thereof, shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purposes of such tender offer, Change of Control Offer, Alternate Of- fer or Asset Sale Offer, as applicable.

(f)Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof. Notice of any redemption or offer to purchase and the offer to pur- chase, whether in connection with an Equity Offering, Change of Control, Alternate Offer, Asset Sale Of- fer or other transaction or event or otherwise, may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be given prior to the comple- tion or occurrence thereof, and any such redemption, offer to purchase or notice may, at the Issuers’ dis- cretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion or occur- rence of the related Equity Offering, Change of Control, Asset Sale or other transaction or event, as the case may be. The Issuers may redeem Notes pursuant to one or more of the relevant provisions in this Indenture, and a single notice of redemption may be delivered with respect to redemptions made pursuant to different provisions. Any such notice may provide that redemptions made pursuant to different provi- sions will have different Redemption Dates. In addition, if such redemption or offer to purchase is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Issuers’ discretion, the redemption or repurchase date may be delayed, from time to time, until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption or offer to purchase was sent) as any or all such con- ditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Issuers in their sole discretion), or such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Issuers in their sole discretion) by the redemption or purchase date, or by the redemption or purchase date so delayed, or that such notice or offer may be rescinded at any time in the Issuers’ sole discretion if the Issuers determine that any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied or waived. For the avoidance of doubt, if any redemption or repurchase date shall be delayed pursuant to this Section 3.07 and the terms of the applicable notice of redemption or repurchase, such redemption or repurchase date as so delayed may occur at any time after the original redemption or repurchase date set forth in the applicable notice of redemption or repurchase and after the satisfaction of any applicable con- ditions precedent, including, without limitation, on a date that is less than 10 days after the original re- demption or repurchase date or the redemption or repurchase date so delayed and more than 60 days after the date of the applicable notice of redemption or repurchase. In addition, the Issuers may provide in such

notice or offer to purchase that payment of the redemption or purchase price and performance of the Issu- ers’ obligations with respect to such redemption or offer to purchase may be performed by another Per- son.

(g)The Issuers, Holdings, its direct and indirect equityholders, including the Investors, any of its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates and members of management may acquire the Notes by means other than a redemption pursuant to this Article 3, whether by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise.

(h)Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any duty to calculate or verify the calcula- tion of the Applicable Premium.

gate principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of the Notes or such other First Lien Obli- gations, other Obligations or Pari Passu Indebtedness, as the case may be, tendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Lead Issuer so that only Notes in integral mul- tiples of $1,000 are purchased);

The Lead Issuer shall pay or discharge, and shall cause each of its Re- stricted Subsidiaries to pay or discharge, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, lawful assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate actions or where the failure to effect such payment or discharge is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

Section 4.06. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Issuers and each of the Guarantors cove- nant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wher- ever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture and the Notes; and the Issuers and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that they may law- fully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) covenant that they shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

provided that at the time of, and after giving effect to, (x) any Restricted Payment other than a Restricted Investment permitted under clause (xi)(B) of this Section 4.07(b), no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof or (y) any Restricted Investment permitted under clause (xi)(B) of this Section 4.07(b), no Event of Default under Section 6.01(a)(i), (ii), (vi) or (vii) hereof shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof.

(c)For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.07, in the event that a pro- posed Restricted Payment (or a portion thereof) meets the criteria of clauses (i) through (xxiv) of Section 4.07(b) hereof and/or one or more of the clauses contained in the definition of “Permitted Investments,” or is entitled to be made pursuant to Section 4.07(a) hereof, the Lead Issuer will be entitled to divide or classify or later divide or reclassify (based on circumstances existing on the date of such reclassification) such Restricted Payment (or a portion thereof) between such clauses (i) through (xxiv) and such Section 4.07(a) and/or one or more of the clauses contained in the definition of “Permitted Investments,” in any manner that otherwise complies with this Section 4.07.

Payment in such amount would be permitted at such time, pursuant to this Section 4.07, or pursuant to the definition of “Permitted Investments,” and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unre- stricted Subsidiary. Unrestricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to any of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Indenture.

(a)The Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contin- gently or otherwise (collectively, “incur” and collectively, an “incurrence”) with respect to any Indebt- edness (including Acquired Indebtedness) and the Issuers shall not issue any shares of Disqualified Stock and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue any shares of Disqualified Stock or any Restricted Subsidiary that is not an Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor to issue Preferred Stock; provided, that the Issu- ers may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) or issue shares of Disqualified Stock, and any Restricted Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) and issue shares of Disqualified Stock and any Restricted Subsidiary that is not an Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor may is- sue shares of Preferred Stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio on a consolidated basis of the Lead Is- suer and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the most recently ended four fiscal quarters for which internal fi- nancial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is issued would have been at least 2.00 to 1.00, de- termined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred, or the Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, and the application of proceeds therefrom had occurred at the beginning of such four- quarter period; provided that the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness (including

101

103

Preferred Stock (except to an Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary or any pledge of such In- debtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock constituting a Permitted Lien) shall be deemed, in each case, to be an incurrence of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (to the extent such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is then outstanding) not per- mitted by this clause (viii);

with the principal amount and liquidation preference of all other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock then outstanding and incurred pursuant to this clause (xxv), does not at any time outstanding exceed the greater of (a) $100.0 million and (b) 20.0% of the total assets of the Foreign Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (in each case, determined on the date of such incur- rence); it being understood that any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock incurred pursuant to this clause (xxv) may be allocated by the Lead Issuer such that it ceases to be deemed incurred or outstanding for purposes of this clause (xxv) but is instead deemed incurred under Section 4.09(a) hereof from and after the first date on which the Issuers or such Restricted Sub- sidiary could have incurred such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock under Sec- tion 4.09(a) hereof without reliance on this clause (xxv);

(xxvi)Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock incurred by the Issuers or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to the extent that the net proceeds thereof are deposited with the Trustee at or promptly after the funding of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock to satisfy and discharge the Notes or exercise the Issuers’ legal defeasance or covenant de- feasance option as described under Article 8, in each case, in accordance with this Indenture;

107

(xxix)Indebtedness attributable to (but not incurred to finance) the exercise of appraisal rights and the settlement of any claims or actions (whether actual, contingent or potential) with respect thereto, in each case, with respect to any transaction permitted under this Indentur e.

(c)For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09:

(i)in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories or subcategories of permitted Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock described in clauses (i) through

(xxix)(or subclauses thereof) of Section 4.09(b) hereof or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) hereof, the Lead Issuer, in its sole discretion, may divide or classify, and may from time to time redivide and reclassify, such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Pre- ferred Stock (or any portion thereof) and shall only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in one or more of the clauses or sub- clauses under Section 4.09(b) or under Section 4.09(a) hereof; provided that all Indebtedness out- standing under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities on the Issue Date shall be treated as incurred on the Issue Date under clause (i) of Section 4.09(b) hereof;

(ii)the Lead Issuer shall be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in more than one of the types of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock described in Section 4.09(a) and Section 4.09(b) hereof;

(iii)guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments relating to, or Liens securing, Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock that is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebt- edness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock shall not be included;

(iv)if obligations in respect of letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments are incurred pursuant to any Credit Facility and are being treated as incurred pursuant to any clause of Section 4.09(b) or Section 4.09(a) hereof and the letters of credit, bankers’ ac- ceptances or other similar instruments relate to other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Pre- ferred Stock, then such other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock shall not be in- cluded;

(v)the principal amount of any Disqualified Stock of an Issuer or a Restricted Sub- sidiary, or Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary, will be equal to the greater of the maximum mandatory redemption or repurchase price (not including, in either case, any redemption or repur- chase premium) or the liquidation preference thereof; and

(vi)for purposes of calculating the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, as applicable, in connection with the incurrence of any Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.09(a) or Section 4.09(b)

108

hereof or the creation or incurrence of any Lien pursuant to the definition of “Permitted Liens,” the Lead Issuer may elect, at its option, to treat all or any portion of the committed amount of any Indebtedness (and the issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereun- der) which is to be incurred (or any commitment in respect thereof) or secured by such Lien, as the case may be (any such committed amount elected until revoked as described below, the “Re- served Indebtedness Amount”), as being incurred as of such election date, and, if such Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio or Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, as applicable, is satisfied with respect thereto on such election date, any subse- quent borrowing or reborrowing thereunder (and the issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder) will be deemed to be permitted under this Section 4.09 or the definition of “Permitted Liens,” as applicable, whether or not the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, as applicable, at the actual time of any subsequent borrowing or reborrowing (or issuance or creation of letters of credit or bankers’ acceptances thereunder) is met; provided that for purposes of sub- sequent calculations of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, the Consolidated First Lien Net Lever- age Ratio or the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, as applicable, the Reserved Indebtedness Amount shall be deemed to be outstanding, whether or not such amount is actually outstanding, for so long as such commitments are outstanding or until the Lead Issuer revokes an election of a Reserved Indebtedness Amount.

Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, of the same class shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09. If Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock originally incurred in reliance upon a percentage of LTM EBITDA under this Section 4.09 is being refinanced and such refinancing would cause the maxi- mum amount of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock thereunder to be exceeded at such time, then such refinancing will nevertheless be permitted thereunder and such additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock will be deemed to have been incurred under the applicable provi- sion so long as the principal amount or liquidation preference of such refinancing Indebtedness, Disquali- fied Stock or Preferred Stock does not exceed the principal amount or liquidation preference of Indebted- ness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock being refinanced plus amounts permitted by the next sentence. Any Refinancing Indebtedness and any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock permitted to be incurred under this Indenture to refinance Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clauses (i), (xii)(B), (xxiii), and (xxv) of Section 4.09(b) hereof shall be deemed to include additional Indebtedness, Disquali- fied Stock or Preferred Stock incurred to pay accrued but unpaid interest or dividends, premiums (includ- ing tender premiums), defeasance costs, underwriting or initial purchaser discounts, fees, costs and ex- penses (including original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees) in connection with such refinanc- ing.

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the in- currence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, the U.S. Dollar Equivalent principal amount or liquidation preference of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock was incurred, in the case of a term obligation, or upon execution of the definitive credit agreement, in the case of revolving credit debt or delayed-draw term loan debt; provided that if such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dol- lar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount or

109

liquidation preference of such refinancing Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock does not exceed (A) the principal amount or liquidation preference of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock being refinanced plus (B) the aggregate amount of accrued but unpaid interest, fees, un- derwriting or initial purchaser discounts, premiums (including tender premiums) and other costs and ex- penses (including original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees) incurred in connection with such refinancing.

The principal amount or liquidation preference of any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Pre- ferred Stock incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

This Indenture shall not treat (1) unsecured Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to Secured In- debtedness merely because it is unsecured or (2) Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to any other In- debtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral or because it is se- cured by different collateral or issued or guaranteed by other obligors.

Section 4.10. Asset Sales.

(a)The Lead Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, con- summate an Asset Sale, unless:

(i)the Lead Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives con- sideration (including, but not limited to, by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise, in connection with, such Asset Sale) at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(ii)except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration for such Asset Sale, together with all other Asset Sales since the Issue Date (on a cumulative ba- sis), received by the Lead Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of Cash Equivalents; provided that the following amounts shall be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for purposes of this clause (ii):

(A)the greater of the principal amount and the carrying value of any liabili- ties (as reflected on the Lead Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent consoli- dated balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto or, if incurred or increased subsequent to the date of such balance sheet, such liabilities that would have been reflected on the Lead Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s consolidated balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto if such incurrence or increase had taken place on or prior to the date of such bal- ance sheet, as determined by the Lead Issuer) of the Lead Issuer or such Restricted Sub- sidiary, other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, that are (i) assumed by the transferee of any such assets (or a third party in connection with such transfer) pursuant to a written agreement which releases or indem- nifies the Lead Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from such liabilities or (ii) otherwise cancelled or terminated in connection with the transaction;

(B)any securities, notes or other obligations or assets received by the Lead Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted or reasonably

110

expected by the Lead Issuer acting in good faith to be converted by the Lead Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the Cash Equivalents received or expected to be received) or by their terms are required to be satisfied for Cash Equivalents within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale; and

(C)any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Lead Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (C) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (i) $125.0 mil- lion and (ii) 20.0% of LTM EBITDA, with the fair market value of each item of Desig- nated Non-cash Consideration being measured without giving effect to subsequent changes in value.

At the option of the Lead Issuer, the foregoing determination and calculations may be made (i) at the time the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale has been signed or (ii) at the time such Asset Sale is consummated

(b)Within 450 days after the later of (x) the date of any Asset Sale and (y) the receipt of any Net Proceeds of such Asset Sale, the Lead Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply an amount not to exceed the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale:

(i)(A) to the extent such Net Proceeds are from an Asset Sale of Collateral, to re- duce Indebtedness (through a prepayment, repayment or purchase, as applicable) as follows:

(1)Obligations under the Notes;

(2)First Lien Obligations (other than the Notes), and, in the case of revolving obligations (other than Obligations in respect of any asset-based credit facility), to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; provided that if the Lead Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary shall so reduce any First Lien Obligations other than the Notes, the Lead Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary will either (a) reduce Obligations under the Notes on a pro rata basis with such other First Lien Obligations by, at its option, (x) redeeming Notes as provided under Section 3.07 hereof or (y) purchasing Notes through open-market pur- chases or in privately negotiated transactions at market prices (which may be be- low par), or (b) make an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for a Collateral Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes on a rata- ble basis with such other First Lien Obligations for no less than 100% of the prin- cipal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, thereon up to the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased; or

(B)to the extent such Net Proceeds are from an Asset Sale that does not con- stitute Collateral, to reduce Indebtedness (through a prepayment, repayment or purchase, as applicable) as follows:

(1)Obligations under a Credit Facility to the extent such Obligations were incurred under clause (i) of Section 4.09(b) hereof and, in the case of re- volving obligations (other than Obligations in respect of any asset-based credit facility), to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;

111

(2)Obligations under Secured Indebtedness (other than Indebted- ness owed to the Lead Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary), and, in the case of re- volving obligations (other than Obligations in respect of any asset-based credit facility), to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;

(3)Obligations under any Senior Indebtedness or pension obliga- tions of the Lead Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (and, in the case of Senior Indebtedness that consists of revolving obligations (other than Obligations in re- spect of any asset-based credit facility), to correspondingly reduce any outstand- ing commitments with respect thereto); provided that if the Lead Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary shall so reduce any Senior Indebtedness, the Lead Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary will either (a) reduce Obligations under the Notes on a pro rata basis by, at its option, (x) redeeming Notes as provided under Section

3.07 hereof or (y) purchasing Notes through open-market purchases or in pri- vately negotiated transactions at market prices (which may be below par), or (b) make an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Sections 3.08 and 4.10(c) hereof) to all Holders to purchase their Notes on a ratable basis with such other Senior Indebtedness for no less than 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, thereon up to the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased;

(4)Obligations of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not an Issuer or a Guarantor, other than Indebtedness owed to the Lead Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, and, in the case of revolving obligations (other than Obligations in respect of any asset-based credit facility), to correspondingly reduce commit- ments with respect thereto; or

(5)to the extent such Net Proceeds are from an Asset Sale of prop- erty or assets of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not an Issuer or a Guarantor, Obli- gations of an Issuer or a Guarantor other than Subordinated Indebtedness and other than Indebtedness owed to the Lead Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, and, in the case of revolving obligations (other than Obligations in respect of any asset-based credit facility), to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; or

(ii)to make (A) an Investment in any one or more businesses, provided that such In- vestment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Lead Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes or continues to constitute a Restricted Subsidiary,

(B) capital expenditures or (C) acquisitions of other properties or assets that, in each of (A), (B) and (C), are used or useful in a Similar Business or replace the businesses, properties and/or as- sets that are the subject of such Asset Sale; or

(iii)any combination of the foregoing;

provided that a binding commitment or letter of intent entered into not later than such 450th day shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment or letter of intent so long as the Lead Issuer, or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment or letter of intent with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment or let- ter of intent within the later of such 450th day and 180 days after such commitment or letter of intent (an

112

“Acceptable Commitment”) or, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or termi- nated for any reason before the Net Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, the Lead Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment (a “Second Commitment”) within 180 days after such cancellation or termination; provided, further, that if any Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Collateral Excess Proceeds or Excess Proceeds, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 4.10, (i) to the extent that the application of any or all of the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale by the Lead Issuer or a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Disposition”) is (x) prohibited or delayed by applicable local law, (y) restricted by applicable organiza- tional documents or any agreement or (z) subject to other organizational or administrative impediments from being repatriated to the United States, an amount equal to the portion of such Net Proceeds so af- fected will not be required to be applied in compliance with this Section 4.10, and such amounts may be retained by the Lead Issuer or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided that if at any time within one year following the date on which the respective payment would otherwise have been required, such repat- riation of any of such affected Net Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, the applicable organizational document or agreement or the applicable other impediment, an amount equal to such amount of Net Proceeds so permitted to be repatriated will be promptly applied (net of any taxes, costs or expenses that would be payable or reserved against if such amounts were actually repatriated whether or not they are repatriated) in compliance with this Section 4.10 and (ii) to the extent that the Lead Issuer has determined in good faith that repatriation of any or all of the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition could have a material adverse tax consequence with respect to such Net Proceeds (which for the avoid- ance of doubt, includes, but is not limited to, any prepayment whereby doing so the Lead Issuer, any Re- stricted Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates and/or their equityholders would incur a tax liabil- ity, including as a result of a tax dividend, a deemed dividend pursuant to Code Section 956 or a with- holding tax), the Net Proceeds so affected may be retained by the Lead Issuer or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary and an amount equal to such Net Proceeds will not be required to be applied in compliance

with this Section 4.10. The non-application of any prepayment amounts as a consequence of the foregoing provisions will not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a Default or an Event of Default. For the avoid- ance of doubt, nothing in this Indenture shall be construed to require the Lead Issuer or any Subsidiary to repatriate cash.

(c)The Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale of Collateral (other than any amounts excluded from this Section 4.10 as set forth in the final paragraph of Section 4.10(b)) that are not invested or ap- plied as provided and within the time period set forth in Section 4.10(b) will be deemed to constitute “Collateral Excess Proceeds”; provided that any amount of Net Proceeds offered to Holders of the Notes pursuant to clause (b)(i)(A)(2)(b) of this Section 4.10 shall not be deemed to be Collateral Excess Pro- ceeds without regard to whether such offer is accepted by any Holders. When the aggregate amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds exceeds $100.0 million (the “Collateral Excess Proceeds Threshold”), the Issuers shall make an offer (a “Collateral Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of the Notes and, if required or permitted by the terms of any other First Lien Obligations or Obligations secured by a Lien permitted under this Indenture on the Collateral disposed of (which Lien is not subordinate to the Lien of the Notes with respect to the Collateral), to the holders of such other First Lien Obligations or other Obligations, to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of the Notes and such other First Lien Obligations or other Obligations that is, with respect to the Notes only, in an amount equal to $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, that may be purchased out of the Col- lateral Excess Proceeds at an offer price, in the case of the Notes, in cash in an amount equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof (or accreted value thereof, if less), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture, and in the case of such other First Lien Obligations or other Obligations, at the offer price required by the terms thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the agreement(s) governing such other First

113

Lien Obligations or other Obligations. The Issuers will commence a Collateral Asset Sale Offer with re- spect to Collateral Excess Proceeds within 20 Business Days after the date that Collateral Excess Pro- ceeds exceed the Collateral Excess Proceeds Threshold by delivering to the Holders the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. The Issuers may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making a Collateral Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Net Proceeds prior to the time period that may be required by this Indenture with re- spect to all or a part of the available Net Proceeds (the “Collateral Advance Portion”) in advance of be- ing required to do so by this Indenture (a “Collateral Advance Offer”).

To the extent that the aggregate amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of Notes and such other First Lien Obligations or Obligations secured by a Lien permitted under this Indenture on the Collateral disposed of, as the case may be, tendered pursuant to a Collateral Asset Sale Offer is less than the amount offered in the Collateral Asset Sale Offer (or in the case of a Collateral Advance Offer, the Collateral Ad- vance Portion), the Issuers may use any remaining Collateral Excess Proceeds (or in the case of a Collat- eral Advance Offer, the Collateral Advance Portion) (“Declined Collateral Proceeds”) for any purposes not otherwise prohibited under this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, if ap- plicable) of Notes or such other First Lien Obligations or other Obligations, as the case may be, surren- dered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount offered in the Collateral Asset Sale Offer (or in the case of a Collateral Advance Offer, the Collateral Advance Portion), the Issuers shall purchase the Notes (sub- ject to applicable DTC procedures as to global notes) and such other First Lien Obligations or other Obli- gations, as the case may be, on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of the Notes or such other First Lien Obligations or other Obligations, as the case may be, tendered with adjustments as necessary so that no Notes or such other First Lien Obligations or other Obligations, as the case may be, will be repurchased in part in an unauthorized denomination. Upon completion of any such Collateral Asset Sale Offer (or Collateral Advance Offer), the amount of Collat- eral Excess Proceeds (or in the case of a Collateral Advance Offer, the Collateral Advance Portion) that resulted in the requirement to make a Collateral Asset Sale Offer shall be reset to zero (regardless of

whether there are any remaining Collateral Excess Proceeds (or Collateral Advance Portion) upon such completion). Upon consummation or expiration of any Collateral Asset Sale Offer (or Collateral Advance Offer), any remaining Net Proceeds shall not be deemed Collateral Excess Proceeds and the Issuers may use such Net Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited under this Indenture.

The Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale that does not constitute Collateral (other than any amounts excluded from this Section 4.10 as set forth in the final paragraph of Section 4.10(b)) that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in Section 4.10(b) hereof will be deemed to

constitute “Excess Proceeds”; provided that any amount of Net Proceeds offered to Holders of the Notes pursuant to clause (b)(i)(B)(3)(b) of this Section 4.10 shall not be deemed to be Excess Proceeds without regard to the whether such offer is accepted by any Holders. When the aggregate amount of Excess Pro- ceeds exceeds $100.0 million (the “Excess Proceeds Threshold”), the Issuers shall make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of the Notes and, if required or permitted by the terms of any Indebted- ness that ranks pari passu in right of payment with the Notes (“Pari Passu Indebtedness”), to the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness that is, with respect to the Notes only, in an amount equal to $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 the case of the Notes, in cash in an amount equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof (or accreted value thereof, if less), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture, and in the case of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, at the offer price required by the terms thereof, in accord- ance with the procedures set forth in the agreement(s) governing such Pari Passu Indebtedness. The Issu- ers will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within 20 Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed the Excess Proceeds Threshold by delivering to the Holders the notice

114

required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. The Issuers may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Net Proceeds prior to the time period that may be required by this Indenture with re- spect to all or a part of the available Net Proceeds (the “Advance Portion”) in advance of being required to do so by this Indenture (an “Advance Offer”).

To the extent that the aggregate amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness, as the case may be, tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the amount offered in the Asset Sale Offer (or in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion), the Issuers may use any remaining Excess Proceeds (or in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion) (“Declined Pro- ceeds”) for any purposes not otherwise prohibited under this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of Notes or the Pari Passu Indebtedness, as the case may be, surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount offered in the Asset Sale Offer (or in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion), the Issuers shall purchase the Notes (subject to applicable DTC procedures as to global notes) and such Pari Passu Indebtedness, as the case may be, on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of the Notes or such Pari Passu Indebted- ness, as the case may be, tendered with adjustments as necessary so that no Notes or Pari Passu Indebted- ness, as the case may be, will be repurchased in part in an unauthorized denomination. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer (or Advance Offer), the amount of Excess Proceeds that resulted in the re- quirement to make an Asset Sale Offer shall be reset to zero (regardless of whether there are any remain- ing Excess Proceeds upon such completion). Upon consummation or expiration of any Asset Sale Offer, any remaining Net Proceeds shall not be deemed Excess Proceeds and the Issuers may use such Net Pro- ceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited under this Indenture.

A Collateral Asset Sale Offer, Asset Sale Offer, Collateral Advance Offer or Advance Offer may be made at the same time as consents are solicited with respect to an amendment, supplement or waiver of this Indenture, the Notes, Guarantees and/or Security Documents (but the Collateral Asset Sale Offer, As- set Sale Offer, Collateral Advance Offer or Advance Offer may not condition tenders on the delivery of such consents).

(d)Pending the final application of the amount of any Net Proceeds pursuant to this Section 4.10, the Lead Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Indebtedness, or otherwise use such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

(e)The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applica- ble in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to a Collateral Asset Sale Offer, an Asset Sale Offer, a Collateral Advance Offer or an Advance Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuers shall comply with the appli- cable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof.

The provisions of Section 3.08 and this Section 4.10 may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all the then outstanding Notes.

Section 4.11. Transactions with Affiliates.

(a)The Lead Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or pur- chase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Lead Issuer

115

(each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in ex- cess of $50.0 million at such time, unless:

(i)such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Lead Issuer or its relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Lead Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis or, if in the good faith judgment of the Lead Issuer, no comparable trans- action is available with which to compare such Affiliate Transaction, such Affiliate Transaction is otherwise fair to the Lead Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view and when such transaction is taken in its entirety; and

(ii)with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transac- tions involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $150.0 million at such time, the terms of such transaction have been approved by a majority of the members of the Board of the Lead Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Lead Issuer.

Any Affiliate Transaction shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of clause (ii) of this Section 4.11(a) if such Affiliate Transaction is approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors of the Lead Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Lead Issuer, if any.

(b)The provisions of Section 4.11(a) hereof shall not apply to the following:

(i)(A) transactions between or among the Lead Issuer or any of its Restricted Sub- sidiaries (or any entity that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction) and

(B) any merger, amalgamation or consolidation of the Lead Issuer into any direct or indirect par- ent company; provided that such merger, amalgamation or consolidation is otherwise consum- mated in compliance with the terms of this Indenture;

Section 4.12. Liens. The Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (except Permitted Liens) (each, a “Subject Lien”) that secures Obligations under any Indebtedness or any related guarantee of Indebted- ness, on any asset or property of the Issuers or any Guarantor, or any income or profits therefrom, or as- sign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, unless:

(a)in the case of Subject Liens on any Collateral, such Subject Lien is a Permitted Lien; and

(b)in the case of any Subject Lien on any asset or property that is not Collateral,

(i) the Notes (or a Guarantee in the case of Subject Liens on assets or property of a Guarantor) are equally and ratably secured with (or secured on a senior basis to) the Obligations secured by such Subject Lien until such time as such Obligations are no longer secured by such Subject Lien (pro- vided that, in the case such Subject Lien secures any Subordinated Indebtedness the Notes or Guarantee are secured on a senior basis to such Obligations), or (ii) such Subject Lien is a Permit- ted Lien.

Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to clause (b) of this Section

4.12 shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and dis- charge of the Subject Lien that gave rise to the obligation to secure the Notes. In addition, in the event that a Subject Lien is or becomes a Permitted Lien, the Lead Issuer may, at its option and without consent from any Holder, elect to release and discharge any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to the preceding paragraph in respect of such Subject Lien.

With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to sec ure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebt- edness with the same terms, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of curren- cies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness.

Section 4.13. Company Existence. Subject to Article 5 hereof, Holdings shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, and the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accord- ance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of Holdings or any such Restricted Subsidiary; provided that Holdings shall not be required to preserve the

119

corporate, partnership or other existence of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if Holdings in good faith shall de- termine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. For the avoidance of doubt, Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be permitted to change their organizational form.

Section 4.14. Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control. If a Change of Control occurs after the Issue Date, unless the Issuers have previously or concurrently sent a redemption notice with re- spect to all the outstanding Notes as described under Section 3.07 hereof, the Issuers shall make an offer to purchase all of the Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date falling prior to or on the Change of Control Payment Date. Within 60 days following any Change of Control, the Issuers will send (or cause to be sent) notice of such Change of Control Offer electronically or by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder to the address of such Holder appearing in the Note Register or otherwise in accordance with the Applicable Procedures with the following infor- mation:

(a)that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.14 and that all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment by the Issuers;

(b)the purchase price and the purchase date, which will be no earlier than 10 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), except in the case of a conditional Change of Control Offer made in advance of a Change of Control in accordance with clause (l) of this Section 4.14;

(c)that any Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to ac- crue interest;

(d)that unless the Issuers default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue in- terest on the Change of Control Payment Date;

(e)that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Con- trol Offer shall be required to surrender such Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Notes completed or otherwise in accordance with the pro- cedures of DTC to the Paying Agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

(f)that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes and such new Notes will be equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered. The unpurchased portion of the Notes must be equal to at least $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof;

(g)if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control and shall describe each such condition, and, if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuers’ discretion, the Change of Control Payment Date may be delayed, from time to time, until such time (includ- ing more than 60 days after the notice is sent) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or

120

waived, or that such repurchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the Change of Control Pay- ment Date, or by the Change of Control Payment Date as so delayed, or such notice or offer may be rescinded at any time in the Issuers’ sole discretion if the Issuers determine that any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied or waived;

(h)any other instructions, as determined by the Lead Issuer, consistent with this Sec- tion 4.14 that a Holder must follow; and

(i)that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to require the Issuers to purchase such Notes; provided that the applicable Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the tenth Business Day prior to the expiration date of the Change of Control Offer, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder of the Notes, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes, or a specified portion thereof, and its election to have such Notes purchased.

While the Notes are in global form and the Issuers make an offer to purchase all of the Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, a Holder may exercise its option to elect for the purchase of the Notes or withdraw such election through the facilities of DTC subject to its appli- cable rules and regulations.

The notice, if delivered electronically or mailed in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. If (a) the notice is delivered or mailed in a manner herein provided and (b) any Holder fails to receive such notice or a Holder receives such notice but it is defective, such Holder’s failure to receive such notice or such defect shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Notes as to all other Holders that properly received such notice without defect. The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities

laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connec- tion with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof.

(j)On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuers shall, to the extent permitted

by law:

(i)accept for payment all Notes issued by it or portions thereof validly ten- dered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(ii)deposit with the applicable Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggre- gate Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered and not validly withdrawn; and

(iii)deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that such Notes or portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Issuers.

(k)The Issuers shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if (i) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the

121

times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuers and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (ii) in connection with or in contempla- tion of any Change of Control, the Issuers (or any Affiliate of the Issuers) has made an offer to purchase (an “Alternate Offer”) any and all Notes validly tendered at a cash price equal to or higher than the Change of Control Payment and has purchased all Notes properly tendered in ac- cordance with the terms of the Alternate Offer.

(l)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer.

(m)A Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer may be made at the same time as consents are solicited with respect to an amendment, supplement or waiver of this Indenture, the Notes, Guarantees and/or Security Documents (but the Change of Control Offer may not condi- tion tenders on the delivery of such consents).

(n)Other than as specifically provided in this Section 4.14, any purchase pursuant to this Section 4.14 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.05 and 3.06 hereof, and references therein to “redeem,” “redemption,” “Redemption Date” and similar words shall be deemed to refer to “purchase,” “repurchase” and “Change of Control Payment Date” and similar words, as applicable.

The provisions of this Section 4.14, including the definition of “Change of Control”, may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all the then outstanding Notes.

Section 4.15. Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries. The Lead Issuer shall not permit any of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries that are Restricted Subsidiaries (and non- Wholly Owned Subsidiaries if such non-Wholly Owned Subsidiaries guarantee other Capital Markets Debt Securities of an Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor), other than an Issuer, a Subsidiary Guarantor, a Broker Dealer Subsidiary, a Captive Insurance Subsidiary, a Foreign Subsidiary or a Securitization Sub- sidiary, to guarantee the payment of (i) any Credit Facility or Capital Markets Debt Securities incurred under Section 4.09(b)(i) hereof unless:

(a)such Restricted Subsidiary within 60 days after the guarantee of such Indebted- ness executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is at- tached as Exhibit D hereto, providing for a Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary, and joinders to the Security Documents or new Security Documents and takes all actions thereunder to perfect the liens created thereunder; provided that with respect to a guarantee of Indebtedness of an Is- suer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee, any such guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantee substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes, and joinders to the Security Documents or new Security Documents, together with any filings and agreements required by the Security Documents to create or perfect the security interests for the benefit of the Holders in the Collateral of such Subsidiary, including all actions (if any) required to be taken with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary in order to satisfy the Col- lateral Requirement; and

122

(b)such Restricted Subsidiary waives and shall not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other applicable rights against Holdings, an Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Restricted Subsidiary under its Guarantee;

provided that this Section 4.15 shall not be applicable to any guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary. The Lead Issuer may elect, in its sole discretion, to cause any Subsidiary that is not otherwise required to be a Subsidiary Guarantor to pro- vide a Guarantee and to become a Subsidiary Guarantor, in which case such Subsidiary shall not be re- quired to comply with the 60 day period described in clause (a) of this Section 4.15, and to later cause the release of such Guarantee, to the extent such Subsidiary is at the time of such release not required to pro- vide a Guarantee pursuant to the above provisions.

Section 4.16. [Reserved].

Section 4.17. Suspension of Covenants.

(a)If on any date following the Issue Date, (i) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from either of the Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event” and the date thereof being referred to as the “Suspension Date”) then, Section 4.07, Section 4.08, Section 4.09, Section 4.10, Section 4.11, Section 4.15, clause (iii) of Section 5.01(a) and Section 5.01(f) hereof shall no longer be applicable to the Notes (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”) until the occurrence of the Reversion Date.

(b)During any period that the foregoing covenants have been suspended, the Lead Issuer may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(c)In the event that the Lead Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Sus- pended Covenants under this Indenture for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any sub- sequent date (the “Reversion Date”) both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rat- ing or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating (in each case, to the extent given an Investment Grade Rating by such Rating Agency), then the Lead Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to in this Indenture as the “Suspension Period.” The Guarantees of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be sus- pended during the Suspension Period. Additionally, upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds and Excess Proceeds from any Asset Sales shall be reset to zero.

(d)During the Suspension Period, the Lead Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be enti- tled to incur Liens to the extent provided for under Section 4.12 hereof (including, without limitation, Per- mitted Liens) and any Permitted Liens which may refer to one or more Suspended Covenants shall be in- terpreted as though such applicable Suspended Covenant(s) continued to be applicable during the Suspen- sion Period (but solely for purposes of Section 4.12 hereof and the definition of “Permitted Liens” and for no other covenant).

(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any such reinstatement, no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Lead Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries prior to such reinstatement wil give rise to a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture with respect to the Notes, and no Default or

123

Event of Default will be deemed to exist or have occurred as a result of any failure by the Lead Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to comply with any of the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period; provided, that (i) with respect to Restricted Payments made after such reinstatement, the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments will be calculated as though Section 4.07 hereof had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period; (ii) all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 4.09(b) hereof; (iii) any Affiliate Transaction entered into after such re- instatement pursuant to an agreement entered into during any Suspension Period shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to clause (vi) of Section 4.11(b) hereof; (iv) any encumbrance or restric tion on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not an Issuer or a Guarantor to take any action described in clauses (i) through (iii) of Section 4.08(a) hereof that becomes effective during any Suspension Period shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to clause (i) of Section 4.08(b) hereof; (v) no Subsidiary of the Lead Issuer shall be required to comply with Section 4.15 hereof after such reinstatement with respect to any guarantee or obligation entered into by such Subsidiary during any Suspension Period; and (vi) all Investments made during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been made under clause (e) of the definition of “Permitted Investments.”

(f)Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated after the Reversion Date, (1) no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind will be deemed to exist under this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants, and none of the Lead Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period, or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising during any Suspen- sion Period, in each case as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Sus- pension Period (or, upon termination of the Suspension Period or after that time based solely on any ac- tion taken or event that occurred during the Suspension Period), and (2) following a Reversion Date, the Lead Issuer and each Restricted Subsidiary will be permitted, without causing a Default or Event of De- fault, to honor, comply with or otherwise perform any contractual commitments or obligations arising during any Suspension Period and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.

(g)Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any duty to (i) monitor the ratings of the Notes, (ii) ascertain whether a Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date have occurred, or (iii) no- tify the Holders of any of the foregoing.

Section 4.18. After-Acquired Collateral.

(a)From and after the Issue Date, and subject to certain limitations and exceptions, if any of the Issuers or any Guarantor acquires any property or rights which are of a type constituting Collateral under any Security Document (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Excluded Assets or assets ex- pressly not required to be Collateral pursuant to this Indenture or the Security Documents), it will be re- quired to execute and deliver such security documents, instruments, financing statements and such certifi- cates as are required under this Indenture or any Security Document to vest in the Notes Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties, as applicable, a perfected security interest (subject to Permit- ted Liens) in such after-acquired collateral and to take such actions to add such after-acquired collateral to the Collateral, including satisfying the Collateral Requirement with respect to such after-acquired collat- eral, including and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such after-acquired collateral to the same extent and with the same force and effect.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, opinions of counsel will not be required in connection with the addition of new Guarantors or in connection with such Guarantors entering into the Security

124

Documents or to vest in the Notes Collateral Agent a perfected security interest in such after-acquired col- lateral.

(c)With respect to any Collateral constituting Material Real Property acquired after the Issue Date, the Issuers shall cause the Collateral Requirement to be satisfied within 45 days of the acquisition of such Material Real Property or such longer period as permitted under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities or as extended by the Bank Collateral Agent.

Section 4.19. Post-Closing Covenant.

Within 90 days after the Issue Date (or such longer period as permitted under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities or as extended by the Bank Collateral Agent), the Issuer shall, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, cause all insurance policies related to any property or business of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary required to be delivered pursuant to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities to name the Notes Collateral Agent as additional insured or loss payee, as appropriate, in customary form.

(iv)Holdings or an Issuer may merge with an Affiliate of Holdings or an Issuer solely for the purpose of (a) reorganizing Holdings or such Issuer in any other jurisdiction or for the pur- pose of reorganizing such Issuer in the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof or (b) formation of or collapsing a holding company structure, so long as, in each case of subclauses (a) and (b), the aggregate amount of Indebtedness of the Lead Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby.

(f)Subject to Section 10.06 hereof, no Subsidiary Guarantor shall, and the Lead Issuer shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any Per- son unless:

(i)(A) (1) such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person or (2) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Subsidiary Guaran- tor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made (such Person being herein called the “Successor Person”) expressly assumes all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture, the applicable Security Documents and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s related Guarantee pursuant to supplemental indentures or other applicable documents or instruments;

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

(C)to the extent any assets of the Person which is merged, consolidated or amalga- mated with or into such Subsidiary Guarantor are assets of the type which would constitute Col- lateral under the Security Documents, such Subsidiary Guarantor or the Successor Person will take such action, if any, as may be reasonably necessary to cause such property and assets to be made subject to the Lien of the applicable Security Documents in the manner and to the extent required in this Indenture or the applicable Security Documents and shall take all reasonably nec- essary action so that such Lien is perfected to the extent required by the applicable Security Doc- uments; or

(ii)the transaction is not prohibited by Section 4.10(a) hereof; or

(iii)in the case of assets comprising Equity Interests of Subsidiaries that are not Sub- sidiary Guarantors, such Equity Interests are sold, assigned, transferred, leased, conveyed or oth- erwise disposed of to one or more Restricted Subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.01, Holdings may contribute Capital Stock of any or all of its Subsidiaries to any Guarantor.

(h)Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 5.01 shall not apply to the Transactions.

129

(C)orders the liquidation of the Lead Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that together (as of the latest consolidated financial statements of the Lead Issuer for a fiscal quarter end provided as required under Section

4.03 hereof) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary);

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days;

(viii)the Guarantee of Holdings or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Sub- sidiary (or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors that together (as of the latest consolidated finan- cial statements for a fiscal quarter end provided as required under Section 4.03 hereof) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) shall for any reason cease to be in full force and effect or be declared null and void or any responsible officer of the Lead Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary (or the responsible officers of any group of Subsidiary Guarantors that together (as of the latest consolidated financial statements for a fiscal quarter end provided as required under Section 4.03 hereof) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), as the case may be, denies in writing that it has any further liability under its Guarantee or gives written notice to such effect, other than by reason of the termination of this Indenture or the release of any such Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture;

(ix)(A) the Liens created by the Security Documents shall at any time not constitute a valid and perfected Lien on any material portion of the Collateral intended to be covered thereby (unless perfection is expressly not required by this Indenture or the Security Documents) other than (1) in accordance with the terms of the relevant Security Document and this Indenture,

(2) the satisfaction in full of all Obligations under this Secured Indenture and the Notes or (3) any loss of perfection that results from the failure of the Notes Collateral Agent to maintain posses- sion of certificates delivered to it representing securities pledged under the Security Documents and (B) such default continues for 30 days after receipt of written notice given by the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 30% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes; and

(x)the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors that together (as of the latest consolidated financial statements for a fiscal quarter end provided as required under Section 4.03 hereof would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) shall assert, in any pleading in any court of competent jurisdiction, that any security interest in any Security Document is invalid or unenforceable.

(b)In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (iv) of Section 6.01(a) hereof, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Notes) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and with- out any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 30 days after such Event of Default arose:

(i)the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged;

(ii)the requisite number of holders thereof have rescinded or waived the accelera- tion, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default; or

(iii)the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured.

Section 6.02. Acceleration. If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default of the type specified in clause (vi) or (vii) of Section 6.01(a) hereof) occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 30% in aggregate principal amount of all the then outstanding

130

Notes may, by notice to the Lead Issuer and the Trustee (if given by Holders), in either case specifying in such notice the respective Event of Default and that such notice is a “notice of acceleration,” declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately.

Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal of and premium, if any, and interest will be due and payable immediately.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under clause (vi) or (vii) of Section 6.01(a) hereof, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. The Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default, except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.

Section 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

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

Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Trustee (with a copy to the Lead Issuer; provided that any waiver or rescission under this Section 6.04 shall be valid and binding notwithstanding the failure to provide a copy of such notice to the Lead Issuer) may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes

waive any existing Default and its consequences under this Indenture and the Security Documents (in- cluding in connection with a Collateral Asset Sale Offer, a Collateral Advance Offer, an Asset Sale Offer, an Advance Offer or a Change of Control Offer) and rescind any acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences under this Indenture and the Security Documents (except if such rescission would conflict with any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and except a continuing Default in the payment of interest on, premium, if any, or the principal of, any Note held by a non-consenting Holder). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture and the Security Documents; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto, and prior to such waiver, the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Trustee, a sum sufficient to pay all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee, Agents or Notes Collateral Agent hereunder and the compensation, ex- penses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, Agents or Notes Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel.

Section 6.05. Control by Majority. Subject to Section 7.01(e) hereof, the Holders of a major- ity in aggregate principal amount of all the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, and the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent that is not inconsistent with such direction. The Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder of a Note (it being understood that neither the Trustee nor the

131

Notes Collateral Agent shall have any duty to make a determination as to whether a direction is unduly prejudicial to the rights of a Holder) or that would involve the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, in personal liability and may take any other action that is not inconsistent with any such direc- tion received from Holders of the Notes. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to indemnification and/or security satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due on or after the respective due dates expressed in an outstanding Note, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

(a)such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of De- fault is continuing;

(b)the Holders of at least 30% in the aggregate principal amount of the then out- standing Notes have requested in writing the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(c)Holders of the Notes have offered the Trustee security and/or indemnity satisfac- tory to it against any loss, liability or expense;

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

(e)the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such written request within such 60-day pe- riod.

Section 6.07. Right of Holders to Sue for Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the contractual right expressly set forth in this Indenture or the Notes of any Holder of a Note to bring suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes on or af- ter the respective due dates expressed in this Indenture or the Notes, shall not be amended without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(i) or (ii) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuers for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal, if applicable, and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collec- tion, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

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

Section 6.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07 hereof, no right

132

or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumula- tive and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, sha l not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 6.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.

Every right and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exer- cised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 6.12. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuers or any other obligor upon the Notes (including the Guarantors), their creditors or their property and shall be entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors ap- pointed in such matter and to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliv- erable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the mak- ing of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compen- sation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be de- nied 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 re- ceive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or compo- sition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.13. Priorities. Subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if the Trustee col- lects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in the fol- lowing order:

(a)FIRST, to the Trustee, the Agents and to the Notes Collateral Agent, in each case, and their respective agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.06 hereof, includ- ing payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee, the Agents and the Notes Collateral Agent and the costs and expenses of collection;

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

(c)THIRD, to the Issuers or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct including a Guarantor, if applicable.

133

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.13.

Section 6.14. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attor- neys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.14 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10.0% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

ARTICLE 7 TRUSTEE AND AGENTS

Section 7.01. Duties of Trustee.

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

(b)Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

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

However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provi- sion hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this In- denture (but need not investigate or confirm the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

ties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if an indemnity and/or security satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not assured to it.

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

135

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

(j)[reserved].

(k)Delivery of reports, information and documents (including, without limitation, reports contemplated under Section 4.03 hereof) to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trus- tee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or deter- minable from information contained therein, including the Issuers’ compliance with any of their cove- nants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’ s Certificates).

(l)The permissive rights of the Trustee to take certain actions under this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty unless so specified herein.

(m)The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, ap- proval, bond, debenture, note or other paper or document unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, but the Trus- tee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Lead Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney, at the expense of the Issuers and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

In addition, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Trustee shall have no obligation to monitor or verify compliance by any Issuer or any Guarantor with any other obligation or covenant under this Indenture or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank

wire or facsimile or other wire communication facility.

136

(q)The Trustee shall not have any responsibility for the validity, perfection, priority, filing, continuation or enforceability of any Lien or security interest and shall have no obligations to take any action to procure or maintain such validity, perfection, priority, filing, continuation or enforceability (it being understood that such responsibility and obligation are the Issuers’).

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

Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee may retain professional advisors to assist it in performing its duties under this Indenture. The Trustee may consult with such professional ad- visors or with counsel, and the advice or opinion of such professional advisors or counsel with respect to legal or other matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or any of their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Section 7.09 hereof.

Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuers’ use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Issuers or upon the Issuers’ di- rection under any provision of this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any state- ment or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.

The Trustee does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Issuers or any other Grantor under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Security Documents. The Trustee shall not be re- sponsible to the Holders or any other Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Trustee under or in connection with, this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Inter- creditor Agreement, if any, or any Security Document; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and any Security Documents of any other party thereto; the genuineness, enforceability, collectabil- ity, 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 Obligations; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthi- ness or legal status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its Obligations under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Security Documents.

Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall deliver to Holders a notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived, or if discovered after 90 days, promptly thereafter. The Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default, except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if it determines that withhold- ing notice is in their interest. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge

137

thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received from the Issuer or any Holders of such Notes by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references such Notes, the Issuer and this Indenture.

Section 7.06. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and sev- erally, shall pay to the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent and the Agents from time to time such com- pensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. The Trustee’s, the Notes Collateral Agent’s and the Agents’ compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuers shall reimburse the Trus- tee, the Notes Collateral Agent and the Agents promptly upon request for all out-of-pocket disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such ex- penses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s, the Notes Collateral Agent’s and the Agents’ agents and counsel.

The Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee, the Notes Col- lateral Agent and the Agents and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and any predeces- sor trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents (the “Indemnified Parties”) for, and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense (including rea- sonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by them in connection with the acceptance or administra- tion of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder (including the reasonable costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against any Issuer or any of the Guarantors (including this Section 7.06) or de- fending itself against any claim whether asserted by any Holder, any Issuer or any Guarantor, or liability in connection with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder) (but excluding taxes imposed on such Persons in connection with compensation for such administration or performance). The Trustee shall notify the Lead Issuer promptly of any claim of which a Responsible Of- ficer has received written notice for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Lead Issuer shall not relieve the Issuers or the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. Except in cases where the interests of the Issuers and/or the Guarantors, on the one hand and the Indemnified Parties, on the other hand are, based on the advice of counsel, adverse, the Issuers shall defend the claim and the In- demnified Parties may have separate counsel and the Issuers shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither any Issuer nor any Guarantor need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by an Indemnified Party through such Indemnified Party’s own

willful misconduct or gross negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). Neither any Issuer nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made with- out its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any settlement which af- fects an Indemnified Party may not be entered into without the consent of such Indemnified Party, unless the applicable Indemnified Party is given a full and unconditional release from liability with respect to the claims covered thereby, and such settlement does not include a statement or admission of fault, culpabil- ity or failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

The obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors under this Section 7.06 shall survive the satis- faction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee or such Indem- nified Party, as applicable.

To secure the payment obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors in this Section 7.06, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, ex- cept money or property held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall sur- vive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

138

When the Trustee is requested to act upon instructions of one or more Holders, the Trustee shall not be required to act in the absence of indemnity and/or security against the costs, expenses and liabili- ties that may be incurred in compliance with such a request.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Sec- tion 6.01(a)(vi) or Section 6.01(a)(vii) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

Section 7.07. Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appoint- ment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of ap- pointment as provided in this Section 7.07. The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be dis- charged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Lead Issuer. The Holders of a majority in prin- cipal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Lead Issuer in writing. The Lead Issuer may remove the Trustee if:

(a)the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09 hereof;

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

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

(d)the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

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

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the Issuers’ expense), the Issuers or the Holders of at least 10% in princi- pal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the ap- pointment of a successor Trustee.

If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.09 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Lead Issuer. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effec- tive, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Inden- ture. The successor Trustee shall deliver a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.06 hereof. Not-

withstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, the Issuers’ obligations under Sec- tion 7.06 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.08. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. If the Trustee or Agent consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation,

139

the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee or Agent. Any corpora- tion into which the Trustee or any Agent for the time being may be merged or converted shall, on the date when such merger, conversion, consolidation, sale or transfer becomes effective and to the extent permit- ted by applicable law, be a successor Trustee or Agent under this Indenture without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Indenture. After the effective date all references in this Indenture to that Trustee or Agent shall be deemed to be references to that corpora- tion.

Section 7.09. Eligibility; Disqualification. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to su- pervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has, together with its parent, a combined capital and surplus of at least $150,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of con- dition.

Section 7.10. Security Documents; Intercreditor Agreements. By their acceptance of the Notes, the Holders hereby authorize and direct the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, as the case may be, to execute and deliver the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and any other Security Documents in which the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, is named as a party, including any Security Documents executed on or after the Issue Date. It is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that, in doing so, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent are not responsible for the terms or contents of such agreements, or for the validity or enforceabil- ity thereof, or the sufficiency thereof for any purpose. Whether or not so expressly stated therein, in en- tering into, or taking (or forbearing from) any action under, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or any other Security Documents, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent each shall have all of the rights, privileges, benefits, immunities, indemnities and other protections granted to it under this Indenture (in addition to those that may be granted to it under the terms of such other agreement or agreements).

Section 7.11. Limitation on Duty of Trustee in Respect of Collateral; Indemnification.

(a)Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Trustee shall have no 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 the Trustee shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or re- cording 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. The Notes Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collat- eral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee in good faith.

(b)The Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genu- ineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omis- sion to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment, for the validity or sufficiency of the Col- lateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Issuers to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the

140

Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral (except with respect to certificates deliv- ered to the Notes Collateral Agent representing securities pledged under the Security Documents). The Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or ob- servance of any of the terms of this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien In- tercreditor Agreement, if any, or the Security Documents by the Issuers, any Guarantor, the Bank Collat- eral Agent or the Junior Lien Representative.

Section 7.12. Resignation of Agents

(a)Any Agent may resign its appointment hereunder at any time without the need to give any reason and without being responsible for any costs associated therewith by giving notice to the Lead Issuer and the Trustee 30 days’ prior written notice (waivable by the Lead Issuer and the Trustee); pro- vided that in the case of resignation of the Paying Agent no such resignation shall take effect until a new Paying Agent shall have been appointed by the Lead Issuer to exercise the powers and undertake the du- ties hereby conferred and imposed upon the Paying Agent. Following receipt of a notice of resignation

from any Agent, the Lead Issuer shall promptly give notice thereof to the Holders in accordance with Sec- tion 13.01 hereof.

(b)If any Agent gives notice of its resignation in accordance with this Section 7.12 and a re- placement Agent is required and by the tenth day before the expiration of such notice such replacement has not been duly appointed, such Agent may itself appoint as its replacement any reputable and experi- enced financial institution or may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a replacement, with properly incurred costs and expenses by the Agent in relation to such petition to be paid by the Issuers. Immediately following such appointment, the Lead Issuer shall give notice of such appointment to the Trustee, the remaining Agents and the Holders whereupon the Issuers, the Trustee, the remaining Agents and the replacement Agent shall acquire and become subject to the same rights and obligations between themselves as if they had entered into an agreement in the form mutatis mutandis of this Indenture.

(c)Upon its resignation becoming effective, the Paying Agent shall forthwith transfer all moneys held by it hereunder, if any, to the successor Paying Agent or, if none, the Trustee or to the Trus- tee’s order, but shall have no other duties or responsibilities hereunder, and shall be entitled to the pay- ment by the Issuers of its remuneration for the services previously rendered hereunder and to the reim- bursement of all reasonable expenses (including legal fees) incurred in connection therewith.

(d)Notwithstanding replacement of an Agent pursuant to this Section 7.12, the Issuer’s obli- gations under Section 7.06 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Agent.

Section 7.13. Agents’ Rights.

(a)The rights, powers, duties and obligations and actions of each Agent under this Indenture are several and not joint or joint and several.

(b)Money held by a Paying Agent need not be segregated, except as required by law, and in no event shall any Paying Agent be liable for interest on any money received by it hereunder.

(c)The Agents shall have no obligation to act or to take any action if they believe they will incur costs, expenses or liabilities for which they will not be reimbursed.

(d)The Issuers and the Agents acknowledge and agree that in the event of an Event of De- fault, the Trustee may, by notice in writing to the Lead Issuer and the Agents, require that the Agents act as agents of, and take instructions exclusively from, the Trustee. Until they have received such written

141

notice from the Trustee, the Agents shall act solely as agents of the Issuers and need have no concern for the interests of the Holders.

(e)The applicable Agents hold all funds as banker subject to the terms of this Indenture and as a result, such money will not be held in accordance with the rules established by the UK Financial Conduct Authority in the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s Handbook of rules and guidance from time to time in relation to client money.

(f)The Agents shall act solely as agents of the Issuers and shall have no fiduciary or other obligation towards, or have any relationship of agency or trust, for or with any person other than the Issu- ers, except as expressly stated elsewhere in this Indenture.

(g)No Agent shall be required to make any payment of the principal, premium or interest payable pursuant to this Indenture unless and until it has received, and been able to identify or confirm receipt of, the full amount to be paid in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. To the extent that an Agent has made such payment with the prior written consent of the Issuers and for which it did not re- ceive the full amount, the Issuers swill reimburse the Agent the full amount of any shortfall.

(h)The Issuers agree to pay any and all stamp and other documentary taxes or duties which may be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, performance and enforcement of this Inden- ture by the Paying Agent.

(i)The Agents may rely upon the terms of any notice, instruction, communication or other document believed by it to be genuine and be entitled to refrain from acting, without liability, if it deter- mines that such instruction is unclear, equivocal or contradictory. In the event an Agent determines that an instruction received by it is unclear, equivocal or contradictory, the Agent shall as soon as reasonably practicable notify the instructing party of such determination.

(j)Notwithstanding anything else herein contained, each Agent may refrain without liability from doing anything that would or might in its opinion, based on the advice of counsel, be contrary to any law of any state or jurisdiction (including but not limited to the United States of America, Europe or, in each case, any jurisdiction forming a part of it and England and Wales) or any directive or regulation of any agency of any such state or jurisdiction or which would or might otherwise render it liable to any per- son or cause it to act in a manner which might prejudice its interests and may without liability do anything which is, in its opinion, necessary to comply with any such law, directive or regulation.

ARTICLE 8

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Lead Issuers may, with respect to the Notes, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof applied to all outstanding Notes and all obligations of the Guarantors with respect to the Guaran- tees upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

Section 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section

8.01hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02 with respect to Notes, the Issuers and the Guaran- tors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations under this Indenture with respect to all outstanding Notes, the re- lated Guarantees and the Security Documents and all Defaults and Events of Default cured on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (“Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means

142

that the Issuers and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below (it being un- derstood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes), and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Security Documents and this Indenture including that of the Guarantors (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuers, shall execute instruments reasonably requested by the Lead Issuer acknowledging the same) and to have cured all then existing De- faults and Events of Default, except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise ter- minated or discharged hereunder:

(a)the rights of Holders of the Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments are due solely out of the trust created pursuant to this Indenture referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;

(b)the Issuers’ obligations with respect to Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;

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

(d)this Section 8.02.

Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Lead Issuer may exercise its option under this Sec- tion 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.

Section 8.03. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Lead Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall, with respect to the Notes, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from their obligations under Sections 3.08, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15 and 4.18 hereof, and clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 5.01(a), and Section 5.01(f) hereof with respect to all outstanding Notes and the related Guarantees, on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section

8.04hereof are satisfied (“Covenant Defeasance”), and such Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “out- standing” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the con- sequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstand- ing” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstand- ing for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to all out- standing Notes and the related Guarantees, the Issuers and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant,

whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and the Guarantees of such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Lead Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Section 6.01(a)(iii) (solely with respect to the covenants that are released upon a Covenant Defeasance), 6.01(a)(iv), 6.01(a)(v), 6.01(a)(vi) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries subject thereto), 6.01(a)(vii) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries subject thereto), 6.01(a)(viii), 6.01(a)(ix) and 6.01(a)(x) hereof shall not constitute Default or Events of Default.

143

Section 8.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the condi- tions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof to the outstanding Notes:

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect the Notes:

(a)the Issuers shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amount as will be sufficient, in the opinion of an Independent Financial Advisor, without consideration of any reinvestment to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on such Notes on the stated maturity date or on the date of such redemption (including a Re- demption Date, if applicable), as the case may be, of such principal, premium, if any, or interest on such Notes and the Issuers must specify whether such Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular date of such redemption (including a Redemption Date, if applicable); provided that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount de- posited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium with respect to such Notes calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit as of the date of such redemption (including a Redemption Date, if applicable) (any such amount, the “Applicable Premium Deficit”) only re- quired to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the Redemption Date. Any Applicable Pre- mium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption;

(b)in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Lead Issuer shall have delivered to the Trus- tee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions:

(i)the Lead Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or

(ii)since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. fed- eral income tax law,

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the beneficial owners of the Notes will not rec- ognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defea- sance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(c)in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Lead Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(d)no Event of Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith or any other transactions necessary to effectuate any of the foregoing) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such de- posit;

144

(e)such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which an Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which an Issuer or any Guarantor is bound (other than that resulting from any borrowing of funds to be applied to make the deposit required to effect such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance and any similar and simultane- ous deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith or any other transactions necessary to effectuate any of the foregoing);

(f)the Lead Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuers with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuers or any Guarantor or others; and

(g)the Lead Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions), each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defea- sance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with.

Section 8.05. Deposited Money, U.S. Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Mis- cellaneous Provisions. Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and U.S. Government Securities (in- cluding the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for pur- poses of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including an Issuer or a Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

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

Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuers from time to time upon the written request of the Lead Issuer any money or U.S. Government Se- curities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee

(which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defea- sance.

Section 8.06. Repayment to Issuers. Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuers, in trust for the pay- ment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Lead Issuer on its request or (if then held by an Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Issuers for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuers as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

145

Section 8.07. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or U.S. Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ obligations under this In- denture and the Notes and the Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had oc- curred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided that if the Issuers make any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel or board resolution shall be required in connection with the addition of a Guarantor under this Indenture upon execution and delivery by such Guarantor and the Trustee of a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is at- tached as Exhibit D hereto.

147

Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders. Except as provided in Section 9.01 and this Section 9.02, the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent (or any other Agent a party hereto, to the extent applicable), may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees and the Security Documents with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of all the Notes then outstanding, including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (which shall be considered waived only with respect to Notes held by consenting Holders), except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, any Guarantee, the Notes or the Security Documents may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all the Notes then outstanding (in- cluding consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes); Section 2.08 hereof and Section 2.09 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for the purposes of this Section 9.02.

Upon the written request of the Lead Issuer, and upon the filing with the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and/or the Notes Collateral Agent of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, the Trustee and/or the Notes Collateral Agent shall join with the Issuers and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture, security doc- uments or intercreditor agreements unless such amended or supplemental indenture, security documents or intercreditor agreements affect the Trustee’s and/or the Notes Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee and/or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture, security documents or intercreditor agreements.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the par- ticular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Lead Issuer shall send to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Lead Issuer to send such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver.

Without the consent of each affected Holder of Notes, an amendment or waiver under this Section

9.02may not, with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder:

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

(b)reduce the principal of or change the fixed final maturity of any such Note or al- ter or waive the provisions with respect to the redemption of such Notes (other than provisions relating to (i) notice periods (to the extent consistent with applicable requirements of clearing and settlement systems) for redemption and conditions to redemption and (ii) Section 3.08, Section

4.10 and Section 4.14 hereof);

(c)reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any such Note;

(d)waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such Notes, except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of a

148

majority in principal amount of all the then outstanding Notes, and a waiver of the payment de- fault that resulted from such acceleration, or in respect of a covenant or provision contained in this Indenture, the Notes or any Guarantee which cannot be amended or modified without the consent of all affected Holders;

(e)make any such Note payable in money other than that stated therein;

(f)make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults;

(g)make any change in these amendment and waiver provisions;

(h)amend the contractual right expressly set forth in this Indenture or the Notes of any Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor;

(i)make any change to or modify the ranking of such Notes as to the contractual right of payment that would adversely affect the Holders; or

(j)except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, modify the Guarantees of Hold- ings or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary, or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors that, taken together (as of the latest consolidated financial statements for a fiscal quar- ter end provided as required under Section 4.03 hereof), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in any manner materially adverse to the Holders of such Notes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the Holders of at least 66-2/3% in aggre- gate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, no amendment or waiver may (A) make any change in any Security Document or the provisions in this Indenture dealing with Collateral or application of trust proceeds of the Collateral with the effect of releasing the Liens on all or substantially all of the Col- lateral which secure the Obligations in respect of the Notes or (B) change or alter the priority of the Liens securing the Obligations in respect of the Notes in any material portion of the Collateral in any way mate- rially adverse, taken as a whole, to the Holders, other than, in each case, as provided under the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, if such consents are obtained with respect to an action described in clause (A) and (B) above, such action shall be permitted under this Indenture.

Section 9.03. Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consent- ing Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives writ- ten notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

The Lead Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determin- ing the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement, or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement, or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to

149

be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days af- ter such record date unless the consent of the requisite number of Holders has been obtained.

Section 9.04. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. The Trustee may place an appropriate nota- tion about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuers in ex- change for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenti- cate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

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

Section 9.05. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. The Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable. Except as set forth in the last sentence of this Section 9.05, an Issuer may not sign an amendment, supplement or waiver until the Board of such Issuer approves it. In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall be provided with and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.03 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture or security documents or intercredi- tor agreements is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or

waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuers and any Guarantors party thereto, enforcea-

ble against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the pro- visions hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel or resolution shall be required for the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent to execute any supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit D hereto, adding a new Guarantor under this Indenture.

Section 9.06. Additional Voting Terms; Calculation of Principal Amount.

(a)All Notes issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent together on all matters (as to which any of such Notes may vote) as one class and no series of Notes will have the right to vote or con- sent as a separate series on any matter. Determinations as to whether Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent shall be made in accordance with this Article Nine and Section 9.06(b) hereof.

(b)With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the Holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Notes, such percentage shall be calcu- lated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (i) the principal amount, as of such date of deter- mination, of Notes, the Holders of which have so consented by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Notes then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, Section 2.08 and Section 2.09 of this Indenture. Any such calculation made pur- suant to this Section 9.06(b) shall be made by the Lead Issuer and delivered to the Trustee pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate.

Section 9.07. No Impairment of Right of Holders to Receive Payment. For the avoidance of doubt, no amendment to, or deletion of any of the covenants under Article 4 or action taken in compliance with the covenants in effect at the time of such action, shall be deemed to impair or affect any legal rights of any Holders of the Notes to receive payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes.

150

ARTICLE 10 GUARANTEES

Section 10.01. Guarantee. Subject to this Article 10, from and after the Issue Date, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally, guarantees, on a senior secured basis, to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its suc- cessors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the Obli- gations of the Issuers hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other Obligations of the Issuers to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or under the Notes shall be promptly paid in full, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by ac- celeration or otherwise. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. All payments under each Guarantee will be made in U.S. dollars.

The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are equivalent to the obligations of a primary obligor and shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuers any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or eq- uitable discharge or defense of a guarantor (other than payment in full of all of the Obligations of the Is- suers hereunder or under the Notes). Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuers, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuers, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee shall not be discharged except by full payment of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture or by release in accordance with the provi- sions of this Indenture.

Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01.

If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to an Issuer, the Guar- antors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either an Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, then this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be ac celer- ated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunc- tion or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and

(y)in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non- paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantees. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee shall, to the fullest extent permit- ted by applicable law, be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion

151

of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment de- termined in accordance with GAAP.

Until terminated in accordance with Section 10.06, each Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Issuers for liquidation or reorganization, should the Issuers become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Issuers’ assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of the Notes is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must other- wise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes or Guarantees, whether as a “voidable prefer- ence,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

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

The Guarantee issued by any Guarantor shall be a general senior secured obligation of such Guar- antor and shall be pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor.

Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee shall be made without set- off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.

Section 10.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uni- form Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in re- spect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under appli- cable law or being void or voidable under any law relating to insolvency of debtors.

Section 10.03. Execution and Delivery. To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, subject to Section 10.07 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture (or a supple- mental indenture in the form of Exhibit D hereto) shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its authorized officers.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes.

If an officer whose signature is on this Indenture (or a supplemental indenture in the form of Ex- hibit D hereto) no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates a Note, the Guarantee of such Guarantor shall be valid nevertheless.

152

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

If required by Section 4.15 hereof, the Lead Issuer shall cause any Restricted Subsidiary to com- ply with the provisions of Section 4.15 hereof and this Article 10, to the extent applicable.

Section 10.04. Subrogation. Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Issuers in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.01 hereof; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Issuers under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in

full.

Section 10.05. Benefits Acknowledged. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guaran- tee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such bene- fits.

Section 10.06. Release of Guarantees. Each Guarantee by a Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and shall thereupon terminate and be of no further force and effect, and no further action by such Guarantor, the Issuers or the Trustee is required for the release of such Guarantor’s Guarantee, upon:

(A)in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, any sale, exchange, issuance disposition or transfer (by merger, amalgamation, consolidation, dividend, distribution or otherwise) of (x) the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor, after which the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or (y) all or substantially all the assets of such Subsidiary Guaran- tor, in each case if such sale, exchange, issuance, disposition or transfer is not prohibited by the applicable provisions of this Indenture (including any amendments thereof);

(B)the release or discharge of the guarantee by, or direct obligation of, such Guaran- tor of Indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, or the release or discharge of such other guarantee or direct obligation that resulted in the creation of such Guarantee, except a dis- charge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee or direct obligation (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement will constitute a release for the purposes of this provision, and that if any such Guarantee is so reinstated, such Guarantee shall also be reinstated to the extent that such Guarantor would then be required to provide a Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.15 hereof);

(C)in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, the designation of any Restricted Subsidi- ary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture or the occurrence of any event following which the Subsidiary Guar- antor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary in compliance with the applicable provisions of this In- denture;

(D)upon the merger, amalgamation or consolidation of any Guarantor with and into an Issuer or another Guarantor or upon the liquidation of such Guarantor, in each case, in compli- ance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture;

(E)in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension

Event;

153

(F)as provided under Article 9 or in accordance with the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement;

(G)the exercise by the Issuers of their Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defea- sance option in accordance with Article 8 hereof or the discharge of the Issuers’ obligations under this Indenture in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or

(H)in the case of Holdings, if Holdings ceases to be the direct parent of the Issuers, subject to the assumption of all of the obligations of Holdings under this Indenture and the appli- cable Security Documents, in each case, pursuant to supplemental indentures or other applicable documents or instruments by the entity that (i) owns directly 100% of the Equity Interests of the Lead Issuer and (ii) directly or indirectly owns 100% of the Equity Interests of CSLS.

Notwithstanding clause (i)(E) above, if, after any Covenant Suspension Event, a Reversion Date shall occur, then the Suspension Period with respect to such Covenant Suspension Event shall terminate and all actions reasonably necessary to provide that the Notes shall have been unconditionally guaranteed on a secured basis by each Guarantor (to the extent such guarantee is required by Section 4.15 hereof) shall be taken within 90 days after such Reversion Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.

Section 10.07. Effectiveness of Guarantees. This Indenture shall be effective upon its execu- tion and delivery by the parties hereto. The provisions set forth in this Article 10 with respect to the Sub- sidiary Guarantors will only become operative concurrently with the consummation of the Acquisition.

ARTICLE 11 SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 11.01. Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture and related Guarantees shall be dis- charged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all Notes (other than certain rights of the Trustee and the Issuers’ obligations with respect thereto, as provided below) when either:

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

(b)(i) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have be- come due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise, will be- come due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuers, and the Issuers have or any Guarantor has irrevoca- bly deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the bene- fit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Securities, or a combina- tion thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemp- tion; provided that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium

with respect to such Notes, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calcu- lated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any Applicable Premium Deficit only re- quired to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of such redemption (including a Re- demption Date, if applicable). Any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium

154

Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemp- tion;

(ii)no Event of Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit or any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) with respect to this Indenture with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall oc- cur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or con- stitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which an Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which an Issuer or any Guarantor is bound (other than resulting from any borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith);

(iii)the Issuers have paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by them under this Indenture with respect to the Notes; and

(iv)the Issuers have delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the de- posited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the date of such redemption (in- cluding a Redemption Date, if applicable), as the case may be.

In addition, the Lead Issuer must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. Such Opin- ion of Counsel may rely on such Officer’s Certificate as to matters of fact, including clauses (b)(i), (ii),

(iii)and (iv) above.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the Notes, the provisions of Section 7.06 shall survive with respect to such Notes and if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to clause (b)(i) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Section 11.02 and Section 8.06 hereof shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

Section 11.02. Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money, and U.S. Government Securities deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including an Issuer or a Guarantor acting as its

own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money and, U.S. Government Securities have been deposited with the Trustee; but such money and, U.S. Government Securities and need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such ap- plication, each Issuer’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be re- vived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if any Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, such Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 12 COLLATERAL

Section 12.01. Security Documents.

The due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium and interest on the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an Interest Payment Date, at maturity, by acceleration, re- purchase, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium and interest on the Notes and performance of all other Obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors to the Holders, the Trus- tee or the Notes Collateral Agent under this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees, the First Lien Intercred- itor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Security Documents, according to the terms hereunder or thereunder, shall be secured as provided in the Security Documents, which de- fine the terms of the Liens that secure First Lien Notes Obligations, subject to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. The Trustee, the Issuers and the Guarantors hereby acknowledge and agree that, subject to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreements and any other applicable intercreditor agreement and as further set forth below, the Notes Collateral Agent (or its bailee) holds the Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Holders, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent and pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Security Documents (including the provisions providing for the possession, use, release and foreclosure of Collateral) and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and Jun- ior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, each as may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and this Indenture, and authorizes and directs the Notes Collateral Agent and the Trustee to enter into or join, if applicable, the Security Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement on the Issue Date, and the Security Documents and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, at any time after the Issue Date, if applicable, and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith. The Issuers shall deliver to the Notes Collateral Agent copies of all documents required to be filed pursuant to the Security Documents, and will do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be reasonably required by the next sentence of this Section 12.01, to assure and confirm to the Notes Collateral Agent the security interest in the Collateral contemplated hereby, by the Security Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Notes secured hereby, according to the intent and purposes herein expressed. On or following the Issue Date and subject to the First Lien Inter- creditor Agreement, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall, at their own expense, execute, deliver,

acknowledge, record and file or cause to be executed, delivered, acknowledged, recorded or filed any and all further documents, financing statements (including continuation statements and amendments to financ- ing statements), agreements and instruments, and take all further action that may be required under appli- cable law in order to grant, preserve, maintain, protect and perfect (or continue the perfection of) the va- lidity and priority of the Liens and security interests created or intended to be created by the Security Documents in the Collateral and cause the Collateral Requirement to be and remain satisfied; provided that for so long as there are outstanding any Senior Secured Credit Facility Obligations, no actions shall be required to be taken with respect to the perfection of the security interests in the Collateral to the extent such actions are not required to be taken with respect to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Such secu- rity interest and Liens will be created under the Security Documents and other security agreements, Mort- gages and other instruments and documents.

The terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement are hereby ratified and approved by the Trus- tee on its own behalf and on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties in all respects and the Trustee on its own behalf and on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties directs the Notes Collateral Agent to bind itself to the terms thereof on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties.

Section 12.02. Release of Collateral.

156

(a)Collateral may be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Security Documents at any time and from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Security Docu- ments, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and this Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the con- trary in the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and this Indenture, the Issuers and the Guarantors will be entitled to the release of property and other assets constituting Collateral from the Liens securing the Notes and the First Lien Notes Obligations under any one or more of the following cir- cumstances:

(i)to enable an Issuer and/or one or more Guarantors to consummate the sale, trans- fer or other disposition (including by the termination of capital leases or the repossession of the leased property in a capital lease by the lessor) of such property or assets (to a Person that is not an Issuer or Guarantor) to the extent consummated in accordance with, or not prohibited by, Sec- tion 4.10 hereof;

(ii)in the case of a Guarantor that is released from its Guarantee with respect to the Notes pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the release of the property and assets of such Guar- antor;

(iii)upon the occurrence of an Investment Grade Event, solely to the extent that nei- ther the Senior Secured Credit Facilities nor any other First Lien Obligations are secured by the Collateral following such release; or

(iv)as described under Article 9 hereof.

(b)The Liens on the Collateral securing the Notes and the Guarantees also will be released:

(i)upon payment in full of the principal of, together with accrued and unpaid inter- est on, the Notes and all other Obligations under this Indenture, the Guarantees and the Security Documents that are due and payable at or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, are paid;

(ii)upon a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under this Indenture as de- scribed under Section 8.02 and Section 8.03 hereof, or a discharge of this Indenture as described under Article 11 hereof; or

(iii)pursuant to the Security Documents or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement (in- cluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 3.04 thereof).

(c)Notwithstanding Section 12.02(a)(iii) hereof, if, after any Investment Grade Event, both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, the Lead Issuers and the Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions reasonably necessary to provide to the Notes Collateral Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes valid, perfected, first priority sec urity interests (subject to Permitted Liens) in the Collateral within ninety (90) days after such date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.

(d)With respect to any release of Collateral, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture, the Security Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, to such release have been met and that it is permitted for the Trustee and/or Notes Collateral Agent to execute and deliver the documents requested by the Lead Issuer in connection with such release and any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release prepared

157

by an Issuer, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall, execute, deliver or acknowledge (at the Is- suers’ expense) such instruments or releases to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be re- leased pursuant to this Indenture or the Security Documents or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and shall do or cause to be done (at the Issuers’ expense) all acts reasonably requested of them to release such Lien as soon as is reasonably practicable. Neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent shall be lia- ble for any such release undertaken in reliance upon any such Officer’s Certificate, and notwithstanding any term hereof or in any Security Document or in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to release any such Lien and security interest, or execute and deliver any such instrument of release, satisfaction or termination, unless and until it receives such Officer’s Certificate, upon which it shall be entitled to conclusively rely.

Section 12.03. Suits to Protect the Collateral.

Subject to the provisions of Article 7 and the Security Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee may or may direct the Notes Collateral Agent to take all actions it determines in order to:

(a)enforce any of the terms of the Security Documents; and

(b)collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Obligations hereunder.

Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall have power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent may determine to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of any of the Security Documents or this In- denture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent may determine to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral. Nothing in this

Section 12.03 shall be considered to impose any such duty or obligation to act on the part of the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent.

Section 12.04. Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Trustee Under the Security Documents.

Subject to the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed under the Security Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders according to the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 12.05. Purchaser Protected.

In no event shall any purchaser in good faith of any property purported to be released hereunder be bound to ascertain the authority of the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee to execute the applicable release or to inquire as to the satisfaction of any conditions required by the provisions hereof for the exer- cise of such authority or to see to the application of any consideration given by such purchaser or other transferee; nor shall any purchaser or other transferee of any property or rights permitted by this Article 12 to be sold be under any obligation to ascertain or inquire into the authority of an Issuer or the applica- ble Guarantor to make any such sale or other transfer.

Section 12.06. Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Trustee.

In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article 12 upon an Issuer or a Guarantor with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by

158

such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of such Issuer or such Guarantor or of any Officer or Officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article 12; and if the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent shall be in the possession of the Collateral under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent.

Section 12.07. Notes Collateral Agent.

(a)The Issuers and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby designate and ap- point the Notes Collateral Agent as its agent under this Indenture, the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Issuers and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby irrevocably authorize the Notes Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture, the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Notes Collateral Agent by the terms of this In- denture, the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and consents and agrees to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and each Security Document, as the same may be in effect or may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their respective terms. The Notes Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions con- tained in this Section 12.07. Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Notes Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Notes Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be authorized and binding upon all Holders. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture, the Secu- rity Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, the duties of the Notes Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, to which the Notes Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Notes Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder or any Grantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture, the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or otherwise exist against the Notes Collateral Agent. Without limit- ing the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Notes Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obliga- tions arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independ- ent contracting parties.

(b)The Notes Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties under this Indenture, the Secu- rity Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, by or through receivers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or with respect to any specified Person, such Person’s Affiliates, and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and attorneys-in- fact of such Person and its Affiliates (a “Related Person”), and shall be entitled to advice of counsel con- cerning all matters pertaining to such duties, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in taking action in reliance upon any advice or opinion given by legal counsel. The Notes Collateral

Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any receiver, agent, employee, attor- ney-in-fact or Related Person that it selects as long as such selection was made in good faith and with due care.

159

(c)None of the Notes Collateral Agent or any of its respective Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Inden- ture or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment) or under or in connection with any Security Document, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Inter- creditor Agreement, if any, or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Trustee or any Holder for any recital, state- ment, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Issuer or any other Grantor or Affili- ate of any Grantor, or any Officer or Related Person thereof, contained in this Indenture, the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Notes Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or the validity, effective- ness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Indenture, the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or for any failure of any Gran- tor or any other party to this Indenture, the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. None of the Notes Collateral Agent or any of its respective Related Persons shall be under any obligation to the Trustee or any Holder to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agree- ments contained in, or conditions of, this Indenture, the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or to inspect the properties, books, or rec- ords of any Grantor or any Grantor’s Affiliates.

(d)The Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in rely- ing, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, certifi- cation, telephone message, statement, or other communication, document or conversation (including those by telephone or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limita- tion, counsel to the Issuers or any other Grantor), independent accountants and other experts and advisors selected by the Notes Collateral Agent. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any inves- tigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, re- port, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document. The Notes Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture, the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes as it determines and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Holders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Notes Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Indenture, the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, in accordance with a request, direction, instruction or consent of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate princi- pal amount of the then outstanding Notes and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders.

(e)The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the oc- currence of any Default or Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Notes Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee or the Lead Issuer referring to this Indenture, describ- ing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default” and such notice references the Notes, the Indenture and the Issuers. The Notes Collateral Agent shall take such action

with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee in accordance with

160

Article 6 or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (subject to this Section 12.07).

(f)The Notes Collateral Agent may resign at any time by 30 days’ written notice to the Trus- tee and the Lead Issuer, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Notes Collateral Agent. If the Notes Collateral Agent resigns under this Indenture, the Lead Issuer shall appoint a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the intended effective date of the resignation of the Notes Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of res- ignation), the Trustee, at the written direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may appoint a successor collateral agent, subject to the consent of the Lead Issuer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required during a continuing Event of Default). If no successor collateral agent is appointed and consented to by the Lead Issuer pursuant to the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the intended effective date of resig- nation (as stated in the notice of resignation) the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as succes- sor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Notes Collateral Agent, and the term “Notes Collateral Agent” shall mean such suc- cessor collateral agent, and the retiring Notes Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Notes Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Notes Collateral Agent’s resignation hereun- der, the provisions of this Section 12.07 (and Section 7.06 hereof) shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring Notes Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Notes Collateral Agent under this Indenture.

(g)The Trustee shall initially act as Notes Collateral Agent and shall be authorized to ap- point co-Notes Collateral Agents as necessary in its sole discretion. Except as otherwise explicitly pro- vided herein or in the Security Documents or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor any of its respective officers, di- rectors, employees or agents or other Related Persons shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or real- ize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or other- wise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The Notes Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Notes Collat- eral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment.

(h)The Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, are authorized and directed to

(i)enter into the Security Documents to which it is party, whether executed on or after the Issue Date, (ii) enter into the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement on the Issue Date, (iii) enter into the Junior Lien Inter- creditor Agreement, if any, after the Issue Date, (iv) make the representations of the Holders set forth in the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agree- ment, if any, (v) bind the Holders on the terms as set forth in the Security Documents, the First Lien Inter- creditor Agreement or Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and (vi) perform and observe its obli- gations under the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Inter- creditor Agreement, if any.

(i)If at any time or times the Trustee shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, set-off or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations arising under, or relating to, this Indenture, except for any such proceeds or payments received by the Trustee from the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, or (ii) payments from the Notes Collateral

161

Agent in excess of the amount required to be paid to the Trustee pursuant to Article 6, the Trustee shall promptly turn the same over to the Notes Collateral Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Notes Collateral Agent such proceeds to be applied by the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the First Lien Inter- creditor Agreement.

(j)The Notes Collateral Agent is each Holder’s agent for the purpose of perfecting the Hold- ers’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, can be perfected only by possession. Should the Trustee obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon writ- ten request from the Lead Issuer, the Trustee shall notify the Notes Collateral Agent thereof and promptly shall, subject to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, deliver such Collateral to the Notes Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Notes Collateral Agent’s instructions.

(k)The Notes Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders 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 Notes Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or suffi- ciently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all or the Grantor’s property constituting Collateral intended to be sub- ject to the Lien and security interest of the Security Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Notes Col- lateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture, any Security Document, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, other than pursuant to the instructions of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes or as otherwise provided in the Security Documents.

(l)If an Issuer or any Guarantor (i) incurs any obligations in respect of First Lien Obliga- tions or Junior Lien Obligations (in each case, secured by Liens with a priority that is not prohibited by this Indenture) at any time when no applicable intercreditor agreement is in effect or at any time when In- debtedness constituting First Lien Obligations or Junior Lien Obligations entitled to the benefit of an ex- isting First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement is concurrently retired, and (ii) delivers to the Notes Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate so stating and requesting the Notes Collateral Agent to enter into an intercreditor agreement (on substantially the same terms as the applica- ble First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement) in favor of a designated agent or representative for the holders of the First Lien Obligations or Junior Lien Obligations so in- curred, together with an Opinion of Counsel, the Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby authorized and di- rected to) enter into such intercreditor agreement (at the sole expense and cost of the Issuers, including legal fees and expenses of the Notes Collateral Agent), bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein and perform and observe its obligations thereunder; provided that neither an Officer’s Certificate nor an Opin- ion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement to be entered into by the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent on the Issue Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall enter into any agreements or instruments necessary to effectuate the foregoing actions, as set forth in the Officer’s Certificate described above.

(m)No provision of this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or any Security Document shall require the Notes Collateral Agent (or the Trustee) 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 Holders (or the Trustee in the case of the Notes Collateral Agent) unless it shall have received indemnity and/or security satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent

162

and the Trustee against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Notes Collateral Agent relating thereto.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or the Security Documents, in the event the Notes 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 Notes Collateral Agent shall not be re- quired 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 Notes Collateral Agent has determined that the Notes 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. The Notes Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this clause (m) if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security and/or undertaking from the Issuers or the Holders to be sufficient.

(n)The Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Security 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 ju- risdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment, (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Notes 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 re- spect 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 Notes Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act.

(o)Neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters. Nei- ther the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages (included but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been in- formed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action.

(p)The Notes Collateral Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Issuer or any other Grantor under this Indenture, the First Lien Inter- creditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Security Documents. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to the Holders or any other Person for any recitals, state- ments, information, representations or warranties contained in this Indenture, the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Notes Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or any Security Document; the execution, validity, genuineness, effec- tiveness or enforceability of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agree- ment, if any, and any Security Documents of any other party thereto; the genuineness, enforceability, col- lectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, en- forceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any 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 Obligations

163

under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Security Documents. The Notes Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to any Holder or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the ob- servance or performance by any obligor of any terms of this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agree- ment, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Security Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and any Security Documents. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Security Doc- uments unless expressly set forth hereunder or thereunder. The Notes Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from the Holders with respect to the administration of this Indenture, the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any.

(q)The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabili- ties, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not lim- ited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, opera- tions 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 this Indenture, the First Lien Inter- creditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, the Security Documents or any ac- tions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Security Documents, the Notes Collateral Agent may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Notes Collateral Agent in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be con- strued as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral. In the event that the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee’s sole discretion may cause the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C.

§9601, et seq., or otherwise cause the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee to incur liability under CER- CLA or any other federal, state or local law, the Notes Collateral Agent and the Trustee each reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver. Neither the Notes Collat- eral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable to the Issuers, the Guarantors or any other Person for any envi- ronmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to the discharge, release or threatened release of hazardous materials into the envi- ronment. If at any time it is necessary or advisable for property to be possessed, owned, operated or man- aged by any Person (including the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee) other than the Issuers or the Guarantors, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes shall direct the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee in writing to appoint an appropriately qualified Person (exclud- ing the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee) who they shall designate to possess, own, operate or man- age, as the case may be, the property.

(r)Upon the receipt by the Notes Collateral Agent of a written request of the Lead Issuer signed by an Officer (a “Security Document Order”), the Notes Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and enter into, and shall execute and enter into, without the further consent of any Holder or the

164

Trustee, any Security Document to which it is a party or amendment or supplement thereto to be executed after the Issue Date (including to provide for additional Indebtedness secured by Liens with a priority that is not prohibited by this Indenture); provided that the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be required to exe- cute or enter into any such Security Document which, in the Notes Collateral Agent’s reasonable opinion is reasonably likely to adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Notes Collateral Agent or that the Notes Collateral Agent determines is reasonably likely to involve the Notes Collateral Agent in personal liability. Such Security Document Order shall (i) state that it is being delivered to the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to, and is a Security Document Order referred to in, this Section 12.07(r), and (ii) instruct the Notes Collateral Agent to execute and enter into such Security Document. Other than as set forth in this Indenture, any such execution of a Security Document shall be at the direction and ex- pense of the Issuers, upon delivery to the Notes Collateral Agent of an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of the Security Document have been satisfied. The Holders, by their acceptance of the Notes, hereby authorize and direct the Collat- eral Agent to execute such Security Documents (subject to the first sentence of this Section 12.07(r)). For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall enter into any agreements or instruments necessary to effectuate the foregoing actions, as set forth in the Security Document Order.

(s)Subject to the provisions of the applicable Security Documents, the First Lien Intercredi- tor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, agrees that the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver the First Lien In- tercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Security Documents to

which it is a party and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto, and act in accord- ance with the terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Notes Collateral Agent shall have no discre- tion under this Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or the Security Documents and shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or direction without the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate prin- cipal amount of the then outstanding Notes or the Trustee, as applicable.

(t)After the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee, acting at the direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may, subject to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, direct the Notes Collateral Agent in connection with any action required or permitted by this Indenture, the Security Documents or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any.

(u)The Notes Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders distributed under the Security Documents or the First Lien Intercreditor Agree- ment or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and to the extent not prohibited under the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, for turnover to the Trus- tee to make further distributions of such funds to itself, the Trustee and the Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.13 and the other provisions of this Indenture.

(v)In each case that the Notes Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder or under any Security Document, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, to take any action (an “Action”), including without limitation to make any determination, to give consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act hereunder or under any Security Document or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, the Notes Collateral Agent may seek direction from the Holders of a majority in ag- gregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be liable

with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. If the Notes Collateral Agent shall request direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then

165

outstanding Notes with respect to any Action, the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless and until the Notes Collateral Agent shall have received direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

(w)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or in any Security Document or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, in no event shall the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with re- spect to, the recording, filing, registering, perfection, protection or maintenance of the security interests or Liens intended to be created by this Indenture, the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any (including without limitation the filing or continuation of any UCC financing or continuation statements or similar documents or instruments), nor shall the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, and neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee makes any representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness or priority of any of the Security Documents or the security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby.

(x)Before the Notes Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting in each case at the written request or direction of an Issuer or a Guarantor, other than as set forth in this Indenture, it may require an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to the provisions of this Section

12.07 and Section 13.03 hereof. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.

(y)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Notes Collateral Agent, subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, shall act pursuant to the instructions of the Holders and the Trustee solely with respect to the Security Documents and the Collateral.

(z)The rights, privileges, benefits, immunities, indemnities and other protections given to the Trustee are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Notes Collateral Agent as if the Notes Collat- eral Agent were named as the Trustee herein and the Security Documents were named as this Indenture herein.

(aa) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein (but not with respect to express dis- cretions to the Notes Collateral Agent hereunder), whenever reference is made in this Indenture, to any discretionary action whether by consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the Notes Collateral Agent in its discretion or to any discretionary election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment, expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by the Notes Collateral Agent, it is understood that in all cases the Notes Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any such discre- tionary action if it shall not have received written instruction, advice or concurrence of the Holders or any controlling agent or representative under any intercreditor agreement or Security Document in respect of such action (in each case as applicable). The Notes Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any failure or delay in taking any actions contemplated above as a result of a failure or delay on the part of the Hold- ers or any controlling agent or representative under any intercreditor agreement or Security Document to provide such instruction, advice or concurrence.
