principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time as reflected in the records of the Trustee and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. The Trustee’s records shall be noted to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.

(2) Notes sold within the United States of America to QIBs pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act shall be issued initially in the form of one or more 144A Global Notes, which shall be deposited with the Custodian for DTC and registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee or the authenticating agent as provided herein.

Participants and Indirect Participants shall have no rights under the Indenture or any Global Note with respect to any Global Note held

-27-

on their behalf by the Depository or by the Trustee as custodian for the Depository, and the Depository shall be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and its Participants or Indirect Participants, the Applicable Procedures or the operation of customary practices of the Depository governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes between participants in DTC, participants in Euroclear or participants in Clearstream shall be effected by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream pursuant to customary procedures and subject to the applicable rules and procedures established by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream and their respective participants.

Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication.

One Officer must sign the Notes for the Company by manual, electronic, facsimile or .pdf signature.

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

A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under the Indenture. A Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

The Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate Notes for original issue under the Indenture, including any Additional Notes issued pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in the Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders, the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent.

(a) The Company will maintain a Registrar and a Paying Agent. The Registrar will keep a register of the Holders and the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional Paying Agents and may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to the Indenture. The Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) will have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it will 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 Company, the Trustee will 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 Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven 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.

At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least 10 days prior to the redemption date (or such shorter period as the Trustee in its sole discretion may allow), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

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

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.06, the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Trigger Event if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer with respect to the Notes in the manner, at or prior to the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.06 and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Trigger Event, with the obligation to pay and the timing of payment conditioned upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Trigger Event, if a definitive agreement to effect a Change of Control is in place at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

-51-

(d) A Change of Control Offer may be made at the same time as consents are solicited with respect to an amendment, supplement or waiver of the Indenture, Notes and/or Subsidiary Guarantees (but the Change of Control Offer may not condition tenders on the delivery of such consents).

Section 4.07 Additional Subsidiary Guarantees.

(a) If any Eligible Subsidiary of the Company other than a Subsidiary Guarantor (i) guarantees any Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or (ii) if the Company has no Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement, guarantees any Additional Indebtedness, then within 60 Business Days thereof the Company shall cause such Eligible Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto pursuant to which such Subsidiary will guarantee payment of the Notes on the same terms and conditions as those applicable to the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Indenture and will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered and constitutes a legally valid and enforceable obligation (subject to customary qualifications and exceptions). Thereafter, such Eligible Subsidiary will be a Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to the Notes until such Eligible Subsidiary’s Subsidiary Guarantee with respect to the Notes is released in accordance with the Indenture.

(b) The Company shall cause any such Eligible Subsidiary, substantially concurrently with the execution of a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 4.07(a), to pledge all of its existing and future assets constituting Collateral to secure its guarantee, and the Company shall cause all of the Capital Stock in such Eligible Subsidiary owned by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor to be pledged to secure the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees and shall cause the Liens thereon to be valid and perfected, subject to the limitations and timing requirements set forth in this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture, the Note Security Documents and the other Priority Lien Documents.

Section 4.08 Measuring Compliance.

(a) With respect to:

(1) whether any Lien is permitted to be incurred in compliance with the Indenture;

(2) any calculation of the ratios, baskets or financial metrics, including, but not limited to, Consolidated Net Tangible Assets, Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio and Total Assets, and whether a Default or Event of Default exists in connection with the foregoing;

(3) whether any condition precedent to the incurrence of Liens is satisfied;

-52-

at the option of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or a third party (the “Testing Party”), a Testing Party may select a date prior to the incurrence of any such Lien if such Testing Party has a reasonable expectation that the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries will incur Liens at a future date in connection with a corporate event, including payment of a dividend, repurchase of equity, an acquisition, merger, amalgamation, or similar transaction or repayment, repurchase or refinancing of Indebtedness (any such date, the “Transaction Date”) as the applicable date of determination, as the case may be, in each case with such pro forma adjustments as are appropriate and consistent with the pro forma adjustment provisions set forth below.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, if the Testing Party elects to use the Transaction Date as the applicable date of determination in accordance with the foregoing,

(1) any fluctuation or change in the ratios, baskets or financial metrics from the Transaction Date to the date of incurrence of such Lien will not be taken into account for purposes of determining (i) whether any such Lien is permitted to be incurred or (ii) in connection with compliance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with any other provision of the Indenture or the Notes;

(2) if financial statements for one or more subsequent fiscal quarters shall have become available, the Testing Party may elect, in its sole discretion, to redetermine all such baskets, ratios and financial metrics on the basis of such financial statements, in which case such date of redetermination shall thereafter be deemed to be the applicable Transaction Date for purposes of such baskets, ratios and financial metrics; and

(3) until such corporate event is consummated or such definitive agreements relating to such corporate event are terminated, such corporate event and all transactions proposed to be undertaken in connection therewith (including the incurrence of Liens) will be given pro forma effect when determining compliance of other transactions that are consummated after the Transaction Date and on or prior to the date of consummation of such corporate event. In addition, the Indenture will provide that compliance with any requirement relating to the absence of a Default or Event of Default may be determined as of the Transaction Date (including any new Transaction Date) and not as of any later date as would otherwise be required under the Indenture.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of the Indenture that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or financial test (including, but not limited to, any Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Net Tangible Assets or Total Assets test) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) within five Business Days of any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of the Indenture that requires compliance with a financial ratio or financial test (including any Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Net Tangible Assets or Total Assets test) (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts.

-53-

(d) For purposes of the calculation of the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio, in connection with the incurrence of any Lien pursuant to clause (13) of the definition of “Permitted Liens,” the Company may elect, pursuant to an officer’s certificate, to treat all or a portion of the commitment under any Indebtedness which is to be secured by such Lien as being incurred as of such determination date or the Company may opt to calculate any such ratios at announcement or closing of the relevant transaction and any subsequent incurrence of Indebtedness under such commitment that was so treated shall not be deemed, for purposes of this calculation, to be an incurrence of additional Indebtedness or additional Lien at such subsequent time; provided that if the Company makes such an election, for purposes of the calculation of the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio in connection with any subsequent incurrence of any Lien pursuant to clause (13) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” (other than under such commitment), the amount under such commitment that was so treated shall be deemed to be incurred as of such determination date; provided, further, that the Company may elect to revoke such election at any time pursuant to an officer’s certificate.

(2) the Successor Company (if other than the Company) expressly assumes all the obligations of the Company under the Indenture, the Notes and, if applicable, prior to a Release Event, the Note Security Documents, and in connection therewith shall cause instruments to be filed and recorded and take such other actions as may be required by Applicable Law to perfect or continue the perfection of the Lien created under the Note Security Documents on the Collateral owned by or transferred to such other Person, in each case, pursuant to documents in such form as are reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee; and

-54-

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

(4) prior to a Release Event, to the extent any assets of the Person which is merged, consolidated or amalgamated with or into the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger would constitute Collateral under the Note Security Documents, the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger will take such action as may be reasonably necessary to cause such property and assets to be made subject to the Lien of the Note Security Documents in the manner and to the extent required in the Indenture or any of the Note Security Documents and shall take all reasonably necessary action so that such Lien is perfected to the extent required by the Note Security Documents.

ARTICLE 6

(B) results in the acceleration of such indebtedness prior to its express maturity (without such acceleration having been rescinded, annulled or otherwise cured),

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated (without such acceleration having been rescinded, annulled or otherwise cured), exceeds the greater of (i) 1.5% of Total Assets and (ii) $600.0 million; provided that this clause (4) shall not apply to (i) secured indebtedness that becomes due as a result of the voluntary sale or transfer of the property or assets securing such indebtedness; (ii) Non-Recourse Debt (except to the extent that the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors that are not parties to such Non-Recourse Debt becomes directly or indirectly liable, including pursuant to any contingent obligation, for any such Non-Recourse Debt and such liability, individually or in the aggregate, exceeds the greater of (a) 1.5% of Total Assets and (b) $600.0 million), (iii) any such Payment Default that is waived (including in the form of amendment) by the requisite holders of the applicable item of Indebtedness or contested in good faith by the Company or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor; (iv) any indebtedness that is required to be converted into Qualifying Equity Interests upon the occurrence of certain designated events so long as no payments in cash or otherwise are required to be made in accordance with such conversion and (v) to the extent constituting Indebtedness, any indemnification, guarantee or other credit support obligations of the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors in connection with any tax equity financing entered into by a non-Guarantor Subsidiary or any standard securitization undertakings of the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors in connection with any securitization or other structured finance transaction entered into by a non-Guarantor subsidiary;

(5) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Subsidiary Guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary shall be held in any final and non-appealable judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason (other than in accordance with its terms) to be in full force and effect

-56-

or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors that, taken together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, or any Person acting on behalf of any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors, taken together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, shall deny or disaffirm in writing its or their obligations under its or their Subsidiary Guarantees; and

(6) (a) a court of competent jurisdiction (i) enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that is for relief against the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor that constitutes a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case; (ii) appoints a custodian for all or substantially all of the property of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary and, in each of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), the order, appointment or decree remains unstayed and in effect for at least 60 consecutive days; or (b) the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law (i) commences a voluntary case; (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case; (iii) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property; or (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; and

-57-

Section 6.02 Acceleration.

In the case of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(6), principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes that are outstanding will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the Notes that are outstanding may declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.

Section 6.03 Waiver of Past Defaults.

Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes that are then outstanding, by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on or principal of, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of the Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.04 Control by Majority.

Subject to the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes that are then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or the Notes or, subject to Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 of the Base Indenture, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability (provided that the Trustee shall not have an affirmative duty to determine whether any such direction is unduly prejudicial to any other Holder); provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest.

Section 6.05 Limitations on Suits.

In case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity and/or security satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture unless:

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

-58-

(2) Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes that are then outstanding have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3) such Holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security and/or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense;

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

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

(6) such Holders are not prohibited from taking such action pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement.

Section 6.06 Collection Suit by Trustee.

Subject to the Collateral Trust Agreement, if an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or Section 6.01(2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.

Section 6.07 Priorities.

Subject to the Collateral Trust Agreement, if the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.06 of the Base Indenture, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

Second: subject to clause Second of Section 6.07 of the Base Indenture, to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and

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

-59-

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.07.

Section 6.08 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee may 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 Company, its Subsidiaries or its or their respective creditors or properties and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may be entitled and empowered to participate as a member of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any custodian or other party making payment in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 of the Base Indenture. No provision of the Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.09 Holder Representation.

(a) Any notice of Default, notice of acceleration or instruction to the Trustee to provide a notice of Default, notice of acceleration or take any other action (a “Noteholder Direction”) provided by any one or more Holders (each, a “Directing Holder”) must be accompanied by a written representation from each such Holder to the Company and the Trustee that such Holder is not (or, in the case such Holder is DTC or its nominee, that such Holder is being instructed solely by Beneficial Owners that are not) Net Short (a “Position Representation”), which representation, in the case of a Noteholder Direction relating to a notice of Default shall be deemed repeated at all times until the resulting Event of Default is cured or otherwise ceases to exist or the Notes are accelerated. In addition, each Directing Holder must, at the time of providing a Noteholder Direction, covenant to provide the Company with such other information as the Company may reasonably request from time to time in order to verify the accuracy of such Directing Holder’s Position Representation within five Business Days of request therefor (a “Verification Covenant”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in any case in which the Holder is DTC or its nominee, any Position Representation or Verification Covenant required hereunder shall be provided by the Beneficial Owner of the Notes in lieu of DTC or its nominee, and DTC shall be entitled to rely on such Position Representation and Verification Covenant in delivering its direction to the Trustee, and such beneficial owner shall provide proof of its holdings in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee.

-60-

(b) If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Company determines in good faith that there is a reasonable basis to believe a Directing Holder was, at any relevant time, in breach of its Position Representation and provides to the Trustee an officer’s certificate stating that the Company has initiated litigation (“Litigation”) in a court of competent jurisdiction seeking a determination that such Directing Holder was, at such time, in breach of its Position Representation, and seeking to invalidate any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction, the cure period with respect to such Event of Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to such Event of Default shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending a final and non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction on such matter (a “Final Decision”). Once such officer’s certificate has been provided to the Trustee, the Trustee shall take no further action pursuant to the related Noteholder Direction until it has actual knowledge of a Final Decision. If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Company provides to the Trustee an officer’s certificate stating that a Directing Holder failed to satisfy its Verification Covenant (a “Verification Covenant Officer’s Certificate”), the cure period with respect to such Event of Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed until such time as the Company provides the Trustee with an officer’s certificate that the Verification Covenant has been satisfied (a “Covenant Satisfaction Officer’s Certificate”); provided that the Company shall promptly deliver such officer’s certificate to the Trustee upon becoming aware that the Verification Covenant has been satisfied. Any breach of the Position Representation (as evidenced by the delivery to the Trustee of the officer’s certificate stating that a Directing Holder failed to satisfy its Verification Covenant) shall result in such Holder’s participation in such Noteholder Direction being disregarded; and if, without the participation of such Holder, the percentage of Notes held by the remaining Holders that provided such Noteholder Direction would have been insufficient to validly provide such Noteholder Direction, such Noteholder Direction shall be void ab initio, with the effect that such Event of Default shall be deemed never to have occurred, acceleration voided and the Trustee shall be deemed not to have received such Noteholder Direction or any notice of such Default or Event of Default.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.09(a) or Section 6.09(b) to the contrary, (i) any Noteholder Direction delivered to the Trustee during the pendency of an Event of Default as the result of a bankruptcy or similar direction shall not require compliance with the foregoing paragraphs and (ii) a notice of Default may not be given with respect to any action taken, and reported publicly or to Holders, more than two years prior to such notice of Default. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to or investigate the accuracy of any Position Representation, enforce compliance with any Verification Covenant or verify any statements in any officer’s certificates delivered to it or otherwise make calculations with respect to Derivative Instruments, Net Shorts, Long Derivative Instruments, Short Derivative Instruments or otherwise. The Trustee shall have no obligation to monitor or determine whether a Holder is Net Short and can rely conclusively on a Directing Holder’s Position Representation, the officer’s certificates delivered by the Company and determinations made by a court of competent jurisdiction and shall have no liability for ceasing to take any action, staying any remedy or otherwise failing to act in accordance with a Noteholder Direction during the pendency of Litigation or a Noteholder Direction after a Verification Covenant Officer’s Certificate has been provided but prior to receipt of a Covenant Satisfaction Officer’s Certificate. The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility to the Company or to any Holder or any other Person in connection with any Noteholder Direction or to determine whether or not any Holder has delivered a Position Representation or that such Position Representation conforms with the Indenture or any other agreement.

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

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

Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

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

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

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

(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, indemnities and immunities of the Trustee under the Indenture, and the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and

(4) this Article 8.

-62-

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

Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06 and 4.07 hereof with respect to the Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of the Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that the Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees with respect to the Notes, the Company and the Subsidiary 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 Note Document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of the Indenture and such Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 8.04, 6.01(3), 6.01(4) and 6.01(5) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

(a) In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the Notes under either Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof:

(1) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient to pay the principal of, or interest and premium on, such Notes that are then outstanding on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether such Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;

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

-63-

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

(4) no Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit);

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument (other than the Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

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

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

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

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

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 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.

-64-

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

Section 8.06 Repayment to the Company.

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

Section 8.07 Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or Governmental Authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations under the applicable Note Documents will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 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 Section 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 9

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

Notwithstanding Article 9 of the Base Indenture and Section 9.02 hereof, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement any Note Document without the consent of any Holder:

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

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

(3) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations to Holders in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s assets pursuant to Article 5 of this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture (if applicable);

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

(5) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA;

(6) to conform the text of the Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of the Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum, to the extent that such provision in the “Description of the Notes” was intended to be a verbatim or substantially verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate;

(7) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under the Indenture of a successor Trustee pursuant to the requirements thereof;

(8) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture;

(9) to allow any Subsidiary Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto and/or a Subsidiary Guarantee with respect to the Notes;

(10) to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to the Indenture when permitted or required by the Indenture;

(11) to make, complete or confirm any grant of Collateral permitted or required by any of the Note Documents;

-66-

(12) to release, discharge, terminate or subordinate Liens on Collateral in accordance with the Note Documents; and to confirm and evidence any such release, discharge, termination or subordination;

(13) to make any amendment to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes not prohibited by the Indenture, including to facilitate the issuance and administration of Notes; provided, however, that such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer the Notes;

(14) to comply with the rules and procedures of any applicable securities depository; or

(15) with respect to the Note Documents, as provided in the Collateral Trust Agreement.

Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 11.02 of the Base Indenture and Section 9.05 hereof the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture or any other amendment of or supplement to any Note Document authorized or permitted by the terms of this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to (but may, in its sole discretion) enter into such amended or supplemental indenture or any other amendment of or supplement to any Note Document that affects its own rights, duties, indemnities or immunities under this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes.

(a) Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Note Documents (for the avoidance of doubt, other than the Base Indenture, but including, without limitation, Section 4.06 hereof) with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal aggregate amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), and, subject to Section 6.03 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on such Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of the Note Documents may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal aggregate amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, such Notes). Section 2.08 of the Base Indenture shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02.

-67-

(b) Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 11.02 of the Base Indenture and Section 9.05 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture or any amendment of or supplement to any Note Document authorized or permitted by the terms of this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture or any amendment of or supplement to any Note Document directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, indemnities or immunities under this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture or any amendment of or supplement to any Note Document.

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

(d) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail or deliver electronically to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail or deliver electronically such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Section 6.03 hereof and Section 9.02 of the Base Indenture, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of the Note Documents. However, without the consent of each Holder of the Notes affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any such Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

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

(2) reduce the principal of or extend the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of any Note (other than provisions relating to the covenant described in Section 4.06 and provisions relating to the number of days of notice to be given in the event of a redemption);

(3) reduce the rate of or extend the stated time for payment of interest on any Note;

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

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

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

-68-

(7) impair the contractual right expressly set forth in the 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; or

(8) make any change to Section 9.01 hereof and this Section 9.02, as to the Notes.

(e) Without the consent of the Holders of at least 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, no amendment or waiver may (A) make any change in any Note Security Documents or the provisions in the 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 Collateral 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 adverse to the Holders of such Notes in any material respect, other than, in each case, as provided under the terms of the Note Security Documents.

(f) Other than as expressly provided in this Section 9.02, the Base Indenture may only be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified as and to the extent provided in the Base 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 consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

Section 9.04 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

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

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

Section 9.05 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture or other amendment of or supplement to any Note Document authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities, indemnities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture or

-69-

other amendment of or supplement to any Note Document until the Board of Directors of the Company approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture or other amendment of or supplement to any Note Document, the Trustee will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 of the Base Indenture) will be fully protected in relying upon an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture or other amendment of or supplement to any Note Document is authorized or permitted by the Indenture and the Note Documents.

ARTICLE 10

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

Section 10.01 Guarantee.

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

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

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

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Subsidiary Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of its guarantee are secured by the Collateral on a senior secured basis as provided in the Note Security Documents.

(b) The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Subsidiary Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and the Indenture.

-70-

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

(d) Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it will 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 Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for the purpose of this Subsidiary Guarantee. The Subsidiary Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Subsidiary Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Subsidiary Guarantee.

Section 10.02 Limitation on Subsidiary Guarantor Liability.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Subsidiary Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary 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 Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 10.03 Subsidiary Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.04 hereof, no Subsidiary Guarantor may sell or otherwise dispose, in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor, unless immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists.

-71-

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

Except as set forth in Article 4 and Article 5 hereof, nothing contained in the Indenture or in any of the Notes will prevent any consolidation or merger of a Subsidiary Guarantor with or into the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Subsidiary Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor.

Section 10.04 Releases.

(a) The Subsidiary Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor will be released automatically:

(1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or an Affiliate of the Company;

(2) in connection with any sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or an Affiliate of the Company, if following such sale or other disposition, such Subsidiary Guarantor is not a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company;

(3) upon the release, discharge or termination of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee of all obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement;

(4) if such Subsidiary Guarantor has become a guarantor of any Additional Indebtedness, upon the release, discharge or termination of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee of all obligations of the Company under such Additional Indebtedness; or

(5) upon defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Notes as provided in Article 8 and Article 11 hereof.

-72-

(b) Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the action or event giving rise to a release has occurred as specified above, the Trustee shall, upon receipt by it of the documents described in Section 11.02 of the Base Indenture, execute any documents reasonably requested by the Company or the Trustee in order to evidence the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee.

(c) Any Subsidiary Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee as provided in this Section 10.04 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in this Article 10.

ARTICLE 11

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 11.01 Satisfaction and Discharge.

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

(1) either:

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

(B) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the distribution of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

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

(3) the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it with respect to all Notes under this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture; and

-73-

(4) the Company has delivered irrevocable written instructions to the Trustee under the Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.

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

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture as to Notes issued hereunder, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Section 11.02 and Section 8.06 hereof will survive.

Section 11.02 Application of Trust Money.

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

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or 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 application, the Company’s and any Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

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

1. Interest. Vistra Operations Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 6.950% per annum from September 26, 2023 until maturity. The Company shall pay interest semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (and without any additional interest or other payment in respect of any delay) (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), with the same force and effect as if made on such date. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be April 15, 2024. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and with respect to any period less than a full calendar month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during the period.

2. Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest on the Notes to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes on April 1 and October 1 (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date, except that interest payable at maturity will be paid to the person to whom principal is paid. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest and may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest and premium, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, Wilmington Trust, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and the Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or the Registrar without prior notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

-A-4-

4. Indenture. The Company issued the Notes as one of a duly authenticated series of securities of the Company issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture dated as of June 11, 2019 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee, as amended by the Fourteenth Supplemental Indenture dated as of September 26, 2023 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Base Indenture, the provisions of this Note shall govern and be controlling, and to the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of the Supplemental Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Company shall be entitled to issue Additional Notes pursuant to Section 2.07 of the Supplemental Indenture.

5. Optional Redemption.

(a) At any time prior to July 15, 2033, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed, plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the redemption date, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

(b) At any time on or after July 15, 2033, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the redemption date, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

(c) Except pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above, the Notes are not redeemable. The Company and its subsidiaries are not prohibited, however, from acquiring the Notes in market transactions by means other than a redemption, whether pursuant to a tender offer or otherwise.

-A-5-

extent not included in the offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to, but excluding, such redemption date. 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 or other offer to purchase, the denominator in such calculation shall include all Notes owned by an Affiliate of the Company (notwithstanding any provision of the Indenture to the contrary).

6. Offer to Repurchase Upon a Change of Control Trigger Event. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Trigger Event, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, if any, to but excluding the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date specified in the notice (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Trigger Event, the Company shall mail (or deliver electronically) a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control as required by the Indenture.

7. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be furnished at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

8. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the provisions of the Supplemental Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in connection with a transfer of Notes. There will be no service charge for any transfer or exchange of the Notes, but Holders will be required to pay all taxes due on transfer. The Company is not required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption or to transfer or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed. The registered Holder will be treated as the owner of the Note for all purposes.

9. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

10. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. The Base Indenture may be amended as provided therein. The Note Documents (for the avoidance of doubt, other than the Base Indenture) may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a

-A-6-

purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes). Without the consent of the Holders of at least 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, no amendment or waiver may (i) make any change in any Note Security Documents or the provisions in the 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 Collateral which secure the Obligations in respect of the Notes or (ii) 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 adverse to the Holders in any material respect, other than, in each case, as provided under the terms of the Note Security Documents. Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Note Documents may be amended or supplemented (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, error, defect or inconsistency, (ii) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, (iii) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations to Holders in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s assets pursuant to Article 5 of the Supplemental Indenture, (iv) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of Notes or that does not materially adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture, (v) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, (vi) to conform the text of the Indenture, the Notes, or the Subsidiary Guarantees to any provision of the “Description of the Notes” in the Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision in the “Description of the Notes” was intended to be a verbatim or substantially verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Company, (vii) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under the Indenture of a successor Trustee pursuant to the requirements thereof, (viii) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture, (ix) to allow any Subsidiary Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or Subsidiary Guarantee with respect to the Notes, (x) to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to the Indenture when permitted or required by the Indenture, (xi) to make, complete or confirm any grant of Collateral permitted or required by any of the Note Documents, (xii) to release, discharge, terminate or subordinate Liens on Collateral in accordance with the Note Documents; and to confirm and evidence any such release, discharge, termination or subordination, (xiii) to make any amendment to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes not prohibited by the Indenture, including to facilitate the issuance and administration of Notes; provided, however, that such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer the Notes; (xiv) to comply with the rules and procedures of any applicable securities depository; or (xv) with respect to the Note Documents, as provided in the Collateral Trust Agreement.

11. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default include: (1) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes; (2) default in payment when due of the principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes; (3) failure by the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor to comply with any covenant in the Indenture (other than a default specified in clause (1) or (2) above) for 60 days (or 120 days in the case of the covenant set forth in Section 4.03 of the Indenture) after written notice by the Trustee or Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; provided that this clause (3) shall not apply to any such failure being contested in good faith by the Company or applicable Subsidiary Guarantor; (4) default under any document evidencing any indebtedness for borrowed money by the Company or any

-A-7-

Subsidiary Guarantor, whether such indebtedness now exists or is created after the Issue Date, if that default: (A) is caused by a failure to pay principal when due at final (and not any interim) maturity on or prior to the expiration of any grace period provided in such indebtedness (a “Payment Default”); or (B) results in the acceleration of such indebtedness prior to its express maturity (without such acceleration having been rescinded, annulled or otherwise cured), and, in each case, the principal amount of any such indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated (without such acceleration having been rescinded, annulled or otherwise cured), exceeds the greater of (i) 1.5% of Total Assets and (ii) $600.0 million; provided that this clause (4) shall not apply to (i) secured indebtedness that becomes due as a result of the voluntary sale or transfer of the property or assets securing such indebtedness; (ii) Non-Recourse Debt (except to the extent that the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors that are not parties to such Non-Recourse Debt becomes directly or indirectly liable, including pursuant to any contingent obligation, for any such Non-Recourse Debt and such liability, individually or in the aggregate, exceeds the greater of (a) 1.5% of Total Assets and (b) $600.0 million), (iii) any such Payment Default that is waived (including in the form of amendment) by the requisite holders of the applicable item of Indebtedness or contested in good faith by the Company or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor; (iv) any indebtedness that is required to be converted into Qualifying Equity Interests upon the occurrence of certain designated events so long as no payments in cash or otherwise are required to be made in accordance with such conversion and (v) to the extent constituting Indebtedness, any indemnification, guarantee or other credit support obligations of the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors in connection with any tax equity financing entered into by a non-Guarantor Subsidiary or any standard securitization undertakings of the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors in connection with any securitization or other structured finance transaction entered into by a non-Guarantor subsidiary; (5) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Subsidiary Guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary shall be held in any final and non-appealable judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason (other than in accordance with its terms) to be in full force and effect or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors that, taken together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, or any Person acting on behalf of any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors, taken together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, shall deny or disaffirm in writing its or their obligations under its or their Subsidiary Guarantees; (6)(a) a court of competent jurisdiction (i) enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that is for relief against the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor that constitutes a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case; (ii) appoints a custodian for all or substantially all of the property of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary and, in each of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), the order, appointment or decree remains unstayed and in effect for at least 60 consecutive days; or (b) the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to

12. Security and Collateral. The Notes will be entitled to the benefits of certain Collateral pledged for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to the terms of the Note Documents. Reference is hereby made to the Note Documents for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and obligations thereunder of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Collateral Trustee, the Trustee and the Holders. The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, to the provisions contained in the Note Documents.

13. Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Affiliate of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor 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, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as Trustee (if the Indenture has been qualified under the TIA) or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Section 7.09 of the Base Indenture.

14. No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

-A-9-

15. Authentication. This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

16. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

17. CUSIP Numbers/ISINs. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers/ISINs to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers/ISINs in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
