Section 1.4. Acts of Holders.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer and the Guarantors. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or the holding by any Person of a Note, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 7.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Issuer and the Guarantors, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.4.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved (1) by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof or (2) in any other manner deemed reasonably sufficient by the Trustee. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than such signer’s individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute proof of such signer’s authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee deems sufficient.

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

Any such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such board resolution, which shall be a date not more than 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in connection therewith and no later than the date such solicitation is completed. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of outstanding Notes have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act, and for that purpose the outstanding Notes shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date.

(f) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Note may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents, each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount. Any notice given or action taken by a Holder or its agents with

regard to different parts of such principal amount pursuant to this paragraph shall have the same effect as if given or taken by separate Holders of each such different part.

(g) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Holder, including a Depositary that is the Holder of a Global Note, may make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders, and a Depositary that is the Holder of a Global Note may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of interests in any such Global Note through such Depositary’s standing instructions and customary practices.

(h) With respect to any Global Note, the Issuer may fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons who are beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note held by a Depositary entitled under the procedures of such Depositary, if any, to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders; provided that if such a record date is fixed, only the beneficial owners of interests in such Global Note on such record date or their duly appointed proxy or proxies shall be entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, whether or not such beneficial owners remain beneficial owners of interests in such Global Note after such record date. No such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be effective hereunder unless made, given or taken on or prior to the expiration date, if any, designated by the Issuer.

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

(d) The Notes shall be subject to repurchase by the Issuer pursuant to a Collateral Disposition Offer or a Net Proceeds Offer as provided in Section 4.10 or a Change of Control Offer as provided in

Section 4.13, and otherwise as not prohibited by this Indenture. The Notes shall not be redeemable, other than as provided in Article III.

(e) An unlimited aggregate principal amount of Additional Notes ranking pari passu with the Initial Notes may be created and issued from time to time by the Issuer without notice to or consent of the Holders and shall be consolidated with and form a single class with the Initial Notes and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise (other than issue date, issue price and, if applicable, the first interest payment date and the first date from which interest will accrue) as the Initial Notes; provided that the Issuer’s ability to issue Additional Notes shall be subject to the Issuer’s compliance with Section 4.9 and Section 4.12; provided further that if any Additional Notes are not fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes shall have separate CUSIP and ISIN numbers from the Initial Notes.

Any Additional Notes shall be issued either pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer, pursuant to a resolution by the Board of Directors of the Issuer or pursuant to an indenture supplemental to this Indenture.

Section 2.2. Execution and Authentication.

(a) At least one Officer of the Issuer shall execute the Notes on behalf of the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that or any office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid.

(b) 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 attached hereto by the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture.

(c) On the Issue Date, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written request or order of the Issuer signed by an Officer of the Issuer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate and deliver the Initial Notes. In addition, at any time and from time to time, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate and deliver any Additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount specified in such Authentication Order for such Additional Notes issued hereunder.

(d) The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes in accordance Section 7.10 hereof. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, 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 Authenticating Agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders, the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer.

(e) The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery upon receipt of an Authentication Order from the Issuer (a) Initial Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $250,000,000, (b) subject to the terms of this Indenture, Additional Notes, and (c) any Unrestricted Global Notes (as defined in Appendix A) issued in exchange for any of the foregoing in accordance with this Indenture.

(a) The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and at least one office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes (“Note Register”) and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar, and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuer fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Issuer and/or any Restricted Subsidiary may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

(b) The Issuer initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee to act as Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

Section 2.4. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. Unless otherwise agreed with the Paying Agent, the Issuer shall, no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on each due date for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on any of the Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held in trust for the Holders entitled to the same, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it in trust for the benefit of the Holders to the Trustee. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, a Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money. If the Issuer or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuer specified in Section 6.1(8), the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.5. Holder Lists. The Trustee, for so long as it is acting as Registrar, 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 Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee at least two 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. Every Holder, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent that none of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent or any agent of any of them shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any information as to the names and addresses of the Holders, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

Section 2.6. Transfers and Exchange.

(a) The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer and in compliance with Appendix A.

(b) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.2 or at the Registrar’s request.

(c) No service charge shall be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes (other than pursuant to Section 2.7), but the Holders shall be required to pay any documentary, stamp, similar issue or transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such documentary, stamp, similar issue or transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.6, 3.8, 4.10, 4.13 and 9.4).

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

(e) Neither the Issuer nor the Registrar shall be required (1) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption in accordance with Section 3.2 and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (2) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption, or tendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) in connection with a Change of Control Offer, a Collateral Disposition Offer or a Net Proceeds Offer, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of any Note being redeemed or repurchased in part or (3) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date.

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

(g) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer designated pursuant to Section 4.2, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more replacement Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount.

(h) At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Global Notes or Definitive Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail, the replacement Global Notes and Definitive Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to in accordance with the provisions of Appendix A.

(i) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.6 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by mail or by facsimile or electronic transmission.

(j) Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing.

Section 2.7. Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if a Holder claims that its Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the ownership and loss, destruction or theft of such Note, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the

Trustee’s requirements are otherwise met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond must be provided by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer may charge the Holder for the expenses of the Issuer and the Trustee in replacing a Note. Every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Issuer and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7, in case any mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.

Section 2.8. Outstanding Notes.

(a) The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.8 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.9, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note; provided that Notes held by the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer will not be deemed to be outstanding to the extent specified in Section 3.7(c)(1).

(b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser, as such term is defined in Section 8-303 of the New York UCC.

(c) If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.1, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue from and after the date of such payment.

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

Section 2.9. Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes beneficially owned by the Issuer, or by any Affiliate of the Issuer, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has written notice as being 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 the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or any obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Issuer or of such other obligor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Notes that are to be acquired by the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer pursuant to an exchange offer, tender offer or other agreement shall not be deemed to be owned by such entity until legal title to such Notes passes to such entity. To the extent the Issuer acquires Notes, the Issuer may in its discretion, but is not required to, submit such Notes to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.10. Temporary Notes. Until Definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the 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. All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any current or future sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee. All Notes so delivered to the Trustee shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Issuer has not issued and sold, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. If the Issuer shall acquire any of the Notes, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption, cancellation or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires any of the Notes, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may, but are not required to, submit such Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section 2.11, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures. The Issuer may not issue new Notes or replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall, at the Issuer’s written request, provide certification of the disposal of cancelled Notes.

Section 2.12. Interest and Defaulted Interest.

(a) Interest, if any, on the Notes which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any interest payment date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 4.2; provided, however, that each installment of interest, if any, on the Notes may at the Issuer’s option be paid by (i) mailing a check for such interest, payable to or upon the written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 2.14 or to the address of such Person as it appears on the Note Register or (ii) wire transfer to an account located in the United States maintained by the payee; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required with respect to interest payable on all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer or the Paying Agent at least five Business Days prior to the applicable payment date. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

(b) If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it 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 4.1. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.12. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed each 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 Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of such special record date. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuer (or, upon the request of the Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) shall mail or deliver by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary, or cause to be mailed or delivered by electronic transmission in accordance with the applicable procedures

of the Depositary to each Holder a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

(c) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and for greater certainty, each Note delivered 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 interest, which were carried by such other Note.

Section 2.13. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP or ISIN numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP or ISIN numbers in notices of redemption or exchange or in Offers to Purchase 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 or in Offers to Purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or exchange or Offer to Purchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers.

Section 2.14. Persons Deemed Owners

Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 2.12) interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

None of the Issuer, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of (i) the records relating to or payments made on account of any participants in the Depositary or any beneficial ownership interests of a Global Note, (ii) maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records maintained by any Depositary or participant therein or any other Person relating to such beneficial ownership interests, or (iii) any consent given or other action taken by the Depositary or other Holder of a Note, as the registered holder thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Note, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee, or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by any Depositary, as a Holder, with respect to such Global Note or impair, as between such Depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such Global Note, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of such Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such Global Note.

ARTICLE III
REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

Section 3.1. Notices to Trustee. If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.7, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee) before sending a notice of such redemption to the Holders, a notice setting forth the (i) section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) redemption date and (iii) principal amount of Notes to be redeemed. Any such notice to the Trustee may be cancelled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being sent to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect.

Section 3.2. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. In the event that less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed among the Holders on a pro rata basis (except that any Notes represented by a Global Note will be redeemed by such method as the Depositary may require) unless otherwise required by law or any applicable depositary or stock exchange requirements; provided, however, that no Notes of $2,000 in original principal amount or less shall be selected for redemption in part.

On and after the redemption date, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption so long as the Issuer has deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the applicable redemption price pursuant to this Indenture (including accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be redeemed). The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions (equal to $1,000 or any integral multiples of $1,000 thereof) of the principal of the Notes that have minimum denominations larger than $2,000.

Section 3.3. Notice of Optional Redemption. The Issuer shall deliver or cause to be delivered in accordance with Section 12.2, a notice of optional redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed (with a copy to the Trustee), at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date (except that notices may be delivered more than 60 days before a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a transaction effected pursuant to Article VIII). Any notice of redemption made in connection with a related transaction or event (including, without limitation, a Qualified Equity Offering, Change of Control, Asset Sale, financing or other transaction) may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be given prior to the completion or the occurrence thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, the completion or occurrence of the related transaction or event, as the case may be. In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice will describe each such condition, and, if applicable, will state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions are satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion), or that such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions are not satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion) by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed, or that such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer’s discretion if as determined in good faith by the Issuer, any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. The Issuer will provide the Trustee with written notice of the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions precedent, the delay of such redemption or the rescission of such notice of redemption in the same manner that the related notice of redemption was given to the Trustee, and, at the request of the Issuer, the Trustee will send a copy of such notice to the Trustee to the Holders in the same manner that the related notice of redemption was given to such Holders. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including “CUSIP” numbers and corresponding “ISINs”, if applicable) and shall state:

(1) the redemption date;

(2) the redemption price (or the method by which it is to be determined);

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

the original Note (or appropriate adjustments to the amount and beneficial interests in a Global Note will be made, as appropriate);

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

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

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

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

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

(9) any conditions precedent to such redemption.

At the Issuer’s written request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense; provided, however, that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least three Business Days prior to the date of the giving of the notice of redemption (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in the notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. Any such request to the Trustee may be revoked or cancelled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being sent to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect. The notice sent in the manner herein provided shall be deemed to have been duly given whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note shall not affect the validity of the proceeding for the redemption of any other Note. The notice of redemption issued pursuant to Section 3.7(a) need not set forth the Applicable Premium but only the manner of calculation thereof.

Section 3.4. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is delivered in accordance with Section 3.3, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date at the applicable redemption price, subject to satisfaction of any conditions specified in the notice of redemption.

Section 3.5. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or before 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the redemption date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of all Notes to be redeemed.

If Notes called for redemption or tendered in a Collateral Disposition Offer, Net Proceeds Offer or Change of Control Offer are paid or if the Issuer has deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and unpaid and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest, if any, shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or tendered and not withdrawn in a Collateral Disposition Offer, Net Proceeds Offer or Change of Control Offer (regardless of whether certificates for such securities are actually surrendered). If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid

interest, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest, if any, shall be paid on the unpaid principal from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest, if any, not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case, at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.1.

Section 3.6. Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender and cancellation of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order from the Issuer, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered and canceled; provided that each such new Note will be in a minimum denomination of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 3.7. Optional Redemption.

(a) The Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to November 1, 2021 at the option of the Issuer, upon notice as provided in Section 3.3, at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, 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 that is on or prior to the redemption date). The Issuer will calculate the Treasury Rate and Applicable Premium and, prior to the redemption date, provide an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee setting forth the Treasury Rate and the Applicable Premium and showing the calculation of each in reasonable detail.

(b) At any time or from time to time on or after November 1, 2021, the Issuer, at its option, may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon notice as provided in Section 3.3, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, 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 that is on or prior to the redemption date), if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning November 1 of the years indicated below:

Year	Redemption Price:
2021	108.625	%
2022	105.750	%
2023	102.875	%
2024 and thereafter	100.000	%

(c) At any time or from time to time prior to November 1, 2021, the Issuer, at its option, may, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to 35.0% of the principal amount of the outstanding Notes issued under this Indenture (including any Additional Notes issued after the Issue Date), upon notice as provided in Section 3.3, in an amount not greater than the net cash proceeds of one or more Qualified Equity Offerings at a redemption price equal to 111.50% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, 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 that is on or prior to the redemption date); provided that:

(1) at least 65.0% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under this Indenture on the Issue Date (but excluding Notes held by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after giving effect to any such redemption; and

(2) the redemption occurs not more than 180 days after the date of the closing of any such Qualified Equity Offering.

Section 3.8. Special Mandatory Redemption.

(a) In the event that (1) the Acquisition is not consummated on or prior to November 30, 2018 or (2) at any time prior to November 30, 2018, the Acquisition Agreement is terminated without the Acquisition being consummated (any such event being a “Special Mandatory Redemption Event”), the Issuer will redeem all of the Notes (the “Special Mandatory Redemption”), at a price equal to 100.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”).

(b) Notice of the occurrence of a Special Mandatory Redemption Event and that a Special Mandatory Redemption is to occur (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Notice”), shall be delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee and mailed by first class mail or sent electronically to each Holder’s registered address or electronically delivered according to the procedures of DTC as to global notes, within ten Business Days after the Special Mandatory Redemption Event. At the Issuer’s written request, the Trustee shall give the Special Mandatory Redemption Notice to Holders in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense. On such date specified in the Special Mandatory Redemption Notice as shall be no more than ten Business Days (or such other minimum period as may be required by DTC) after mailing or sending the Special Mandatory Redemption Notice, the special mandatory redemption shall occur (the date of such redemption, the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”).

(c) If funds sufficient to pay the Special Mandatory Redemption Price of all of the Notes on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date are deposited with a Paying Agent or the Trustee on or before such Special Mandatory Redemption Date in accordance with Section 3.5 above, then on and after such Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Notes shall cease to bear interest and, other than the right to receive the Special Mandatory Redemption Price, all rights under such Notes shall terminate.

(d) Upon the consummation of the Acquisition, this Section 3.8 will cease to apply.

(2) issue a press release to an internationally recognized wire service no fewer than three Business Days prior to the date of the conference call required to be held in accordance with this paragraph, announcing the time and date of such conference call and either including all information necessary to access the call or directing Holders, prospective investors, broker-dealers and securities analysts to contact the appropriate person at the Issuer to contact the appropriate person at the Issuer to obtain such information.

(f) The Issuer will be deemed to have furnished such reports to the Trustee and the Holders if it (i) maintains a customary website (such as Intralinks) on which the reports required by Section 4.3(a) are posted along with details regarding the times and dates of conference calls required above and information on how to access such conference calls (provided that the Trustee and the Holders are given prior written notice of such practice before the first posting thereof) or (ii) files such reports electronically with the SEC through EDGAR (or any successor system).

In addition, for purposes of Section 6.1(5), the Issuer will not be deemed in violation of this Section 4.3 until 120 days after a report was otherwise due with respect to any failure to furnish any required information occurring on or prior to the first anniversary of the Issue Date.

(i) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt thereof shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge or notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s, any Guarantor’s or any other person’s compliance with any of the covenants in this Indenture or the Notes (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). The Trustee will not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Issuer’s, any Guarantor’s or any other person’s compliance with any of the covenants described herein or to determine whether such reports, information or documents have been posted on any website or other online data system or filed with the SEC through EDGAR (or other applicable system) or to participate in any conference calls.

Section 4.5. Taxes. The Issuer shall pay, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency all material taxes, assessments and governmental levies, except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

Section 4.6. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Issuer and each of the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture, and the Issuer and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

Section 4.7. Limitation on Restricted Payments.

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted Payment if at the time of such Restricted Payment:

(1) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a consequence thereof;

(4) the purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (A) at a purchase price not greater than 101.0% of the principal amount of such Subordinated Indebtedness in the event of a Change of Control in accordance with provisions similar to Section 4.13 or (B) at a purchase price not greater than 100.0% of the principal amount thereof in accordance with provisions similar to Section 4.10; provided that, prior to or simultaneously with such purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement, the Issuer has made the Change of Control Offer, Collateral Disposition Offer or Net Proceeds Offer, as provided in Section 4.13 or Section 4.10, as applicable, with respect to the Notes and has completed the repurchase or redemption of all Notes validly tendered for payment in connection with such Change of Control Offer, Collateral Disposition Offer or Net Proceeds Offer;

(c) For purposes of this Section 4.7, if any Restricted Payment or Investment (or any portion thereof) would be permitted pursuant to one or more provisions described in this Section 4.7and/or one or more exceptions contained in the definition of “Permitted Investments,” the Issuer may divide or classify such Restricted Payment or Investment (or portion thereof) in any manner they complies with this Section 4.7, but shall not be permitted to later divide and reclassify any such Restricted Payment or Investment (or portion thereof).

Section 4.8. Limitation on Dividend and Other Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or

otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(a) pay dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Equity Interests to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits (it being understood that the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on Common Stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Equity Interests);

(b) make loans or advances, or pay any Indebtedness or other obligation owed, to the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the subordination of loans or advances made to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness or obligations incurred by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances); or

(5) any amendment, restatement, modification, renewal, increases, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing of an agreement referred to in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4), (10) or this clause (5); provided, however, that such amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, increases, supplements, refunding, replacements or refinancing are, in the good faith judgment of the Issuer, not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the agreements referred to in such clauses on the Issue Date or the date such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged into a Restricted Subsidiary, whichever is applicable;

(6) encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of applicable law, regulation, order, approval, license, permit or similar restriction or agreement with governmental authorities with respect to assets located in their jurisdiction;

(10) any other agreement governing Indebtedness or other obligation entered into after the Issue Date that either (A) contains encumbrances and restrictions that in the good faith judgment of the Issuer are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to any Restricted Subsidiary than those in effect on the Issue Date with respect to that Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to agreements in effect on the Issue Date or those contained in this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees, or (B) contains encumbrances or restrictions that are customary and do not prohibit (except upon a default or an event of default thereunder) the payment of dividends in an amount sufficient, as determined by the Issuer in good faith, to make scheduled payments of cash interest and principal on the Notes when due;

(11) customary provisions in partnership agreements, limited liability company organizational governance documents, joint venture agreements, shareholder agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business that restrict the disposition or distribution of ownership interests in or assets of such partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, corporation or similar Person;

interest payments on the Notes, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or management of the Issuer, whose determination shall be conclusive; and

(16) supermajority voting requirements existing under corporate charters, by-laws, stockholders agreements and similar documents and agreements.

Section 4.9. Limitation on Additional Indebtedness.

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness); provided that the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur additional Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness), in each case, if, after giving effect thereto on a pro forma basis (including giving pro forma effect to the application of the proceeds thereof), the Issuer’s Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio would be at least 2.00 to 1.00 (the “Coverage Ratio Exception”).

(6) Indebtedness of the Issuer owed to and held by a Restricted Subsidiary and Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary owed to and held by the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that

(A) if the Issuer is the obligor on Indebtedness and a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor is the obligee, such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations with respect to the Notes;

(B) if a Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor is the obligee, such Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the Guarantee of such Guarantor; and

(C) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests or any other event which results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary; and

(ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person other than the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed, in each case of this clause (C), to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness not permitted by this clause (6);

(16) Indebtedness of Foreign Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $10.0 million at any time; and

(17) Indebtedness to the extent the net proceeds thereof are deposited to defease or satisfy and discharge the Notes in their entirety.

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.9, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (b)(1) through (b)(17) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception, the Issuer shall, in its sole discretion, classify such item of Indebtedness and may divide and/or classify such Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described (including in part in one category and in part in another category, including the Coverage Ratio Exception) (except that any Indebtedness incurred under the ABL Credit Agreement on the Issue Date shall be deemed to have been incurred under clause (b)(1) above and may not be reclassified), and may later divide and/or reclassify any item of Indebtedness described in clauses (b)(1) through (b)(17) above or incurred pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception (provided that at the time of reclassification it meets the criteria in such category or categories). In addition, for purposes of determining any particular amount of Indebtedness under this Section 4.9, (i) guarantees, Liens or letter of credit obligations supporting Indebtedness otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount shall not be included so long as incurred by a Person that could have incurred such Indebtedness; and (ii) the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof will be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision (or a subclause of any provision) that does not require compliance with a financial ratio (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any such amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision (or a subclause of any provision) of this Indenture that requires compliance with a financial ratio (including any Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, Pari Passu Lien Leverage Ratio and Total Secured Leverage Ratio) (any such amounts, the “Ratio-Based Amounts”), such Fixed Amounts shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio applicable to any substantially concurrent utilization of the Ratio-Based Amounts within the same covenant.

(e) The accrual of interest or Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock dividends or distributions, the accretion or amortization of accreted value or original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms and the payment of dividends or distributions on Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness under this Section 4.9; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Consolidated Interest Expense of the Issuer as accrued to the extent required by the definition thereof.

(f) For the purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of such Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the earlier of the date that such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness 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. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced, together with the amount of accrued and unpaid interest and any premium payable to the holders of such refinanced Indebtedness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.9, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur under this Section 4.9 will not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency

exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

(g) If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date (and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under this Section 4.9, the Issuer shall be in Default under this Section 4.9).

(h) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is or purports to be by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) subordinated or junior in right of payment to any other Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee, as the case may be, to the same extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to such other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be. For purposes of the foregoing, no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinate or junior in right of payment to any other Indebtedness solely by virtue of (1) being unsecured or (2) its having a junior priority with respect to the same collateral.

Section 4.10. Limitation on Asset Sales.

(a)

(1) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any Asset Sale of Collateral unless:

(A) the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration (including by way of relief from, or by way of any other Person assuming sole responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at least equal to the Fair Market Value (such Fair Market Value to be determined as of the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale) of the Collateral subject to such Asset Sale;

(B) at least 75.0% of the consideration from such Asset Sale received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of (A) cash, (B) Cash Equivalents, (C) Replacement Assets of a type which would constitute (x) Notes Priority Collateral in the case of an Asset Sale of Notes Priority Collateral or (y) ABL Priority Collateral in the case of an Asset Sale of ABL Priority Collateral (which in both cases are thereupon with their acquisition added to the Collateral securing the notes) or (D) any combination of the foregoing; and

(C) to the extent that any consideration from such Asset Sales received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, constitutes securities or other assets that are of a type or class that constitute Collateral, such securities or other assets, including the assets of any Person that becomes a Guarantor as a result of such transaction, are concurrently with their acquisition added to the Collateral securing the Notes (as Notes Priority Collateral or ABL Priority Collateral, as applicable) in the manner provided for in this Indenture or any of the Security Documents.

In the case of any Asset Sale of Collateral pursuant to a condemnation, seizure, appropriation or similar taking, including by deed in lieu of condemnation, or any actual or

constructive total loss or an agreed or compromised total loss, such Asset Sale shall not be required to satisfy the requirements of this Section 4.10(a)(1)(A) or (a)(1)(B).

(2) If at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale of Collateral is repaid or converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then the date of such repayment, conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute the date of an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Available Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this Section 4.10.

(3) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, within 365 days of the date of such Asset Sale of Collateral, the Issuer or any Guarantor, as the case may be, may (1) use any Net Available Proceeds received from Asset Sales of ABL Priority Collateral to repay, redeem, retire, defease, replace, refinance or repurchase any ABL Obligations, (2) use any Net Available Proceeds received from Asset Sales of Notes Priority Collateral to repay, redeem, retire, defease, replace, refinance or repurchase Secured Obligations; provided that if the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary repays, redeems or repurchases any Secured Obligations other than the Notes, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary must equally and ratably redeem or repurchase (or offer to repurchase) the Notes, at the Issuer’s option, as provided for in Section 3.7, through open market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at a purchase price at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any) or by making an offer to all holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest (and such offer shall be deemed for purposes of this Section 4.10 to be a use of proceeds from an Asset Sale equal to the aggregate amount of Net Available Proceeds offered to the holders of Notes, whether or not the offer is accepted by any or all holders of Notes), or (3) invest any Net Available Proceeds received from Asset Sales of Collateral in Replacement Assets that would constitute (x) Notes Priority Collateral in the case of an Asset Sale of Notes Priority Collateral and (y) ABL Priority Collateral or Notes Priority Collateral in the case of an Asset Sale of ABL Priority Collateral, which Replacement Assets are thereupon with their acquisition added to the Collateral securing the Notes; provided that the Replacement Assets shall not include the Equity Interests of Foreign Subsidiaries for purposes of the requirement unless the relevant Asset Sale consisted of the sale of Equity Interests of a Foreign Subsidiary.

(4) Any Net Available Proceeds from Asset Sales of Collateral that are not applied or invested as provided in this subsection (A) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Collateral Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Collateral Proceeds exceeds $30.0 million, the Issuer will be required to make an offer (a “Collateral Disposition Offer”) to all holders of Notes to purchase the maximum principal amount of the Notes (on a pro rata basis) and, if required by the terms of any other Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness, to the holders of such Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness (on a pro rata basis), to which the Collateral Disposition Offer applies that may be purchased out of the Excess Collateral Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and such other Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof with respect to the Notes. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to a Collateral Disposition Offer (together with, if required by the terms of any other Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness, the amount of Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness tendered pursuant to any similar requirement), is less than the Excess Collateral Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Collateral Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to the other covenants contained in this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by

holders of the Notes and, if required by the holders of Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness, holders of any Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness exceeds the amount of Excess Collateral Proceeds, the Notes and Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness to be purchased shall be selected on a pro rata basis on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of tendered Notes and Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness. Upon completion of such Collateral Disposition Offer, the amount of Excess Collateral Proceeds shall be reset at zero. The Issuer may make a Collateral Disposition Offer if Excess Collateral Proceeds are less than $30 million and prior to 365 days after an Asset Sale of Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Net Available Proceeds or Excess Collateral Proceeds are required to be applied to prepay Indebtedness under the ABL Credit Agreement or other Pari Passu ABL Lien Indebtedness, the Issuer may make a prepayment with respect to such Indebtedness out of such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Collateral Proceeds, at a price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Indebtedness, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of prepayment (and correspondingly reduce commitments with respect to the ABL Credit Agreement or other Pari Passu ABL Lien Indebtedness if such repayment is made with the proceeds of Notes Priority Collateral).

(5) Pending the final application of any such Net Available Proceeds in accordance with Section 4.10(a)(3) and (a)(4), the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Indebtedness or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

(b)

(1) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any Asset Sale (other than Asset Sales of Collateral, which shall be treated in the manner set forth in Section 4.10(a) above) unless:

(B) either (x) at least 75.0% of the consideration from such Asset Sale received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents or a combination thereof or (y) the Fair Market Value of the aggregate of all non-cash consideration for all Asset Sales since the Issue Date would not exceed 5.0% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Issuer after giving effect to such Asset Sale,

(i) in the case of any Asset Sale pursuant to a condemnation, seizure, appropriation or similar taking, including by deed in lieu of condemnation, or any actual or constructive total loss or an agreed or compromised total loss, such Asset Sale shall not be required to satisfy the requirements of Section 4.10(b)(1)(A) or (b)(1)(B);

(ii) if at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale is repaid or converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then the date of such repayment, conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute the date of an Asset

Sale hereunder and the Net Available Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this Section 4.10; and

(C) within 365 days following such Asset Sale, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Proceeds from such Asset Sale is applied by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, as follows (it being understood that actions under clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) may occur prior to actions under clause (i) during such 365-day period):

(i) to the extent the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary elects (or is required by the terms of any Indebtedness), to prepay, repay or purchase Indebtedness (other than Disqualified Equity Interests or Subordinated Indebtedness) (in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer, unless such Affiliate only sells its pro rata portion of any Notes acquired by the Issuer in any open market purchases or pursuant to any offer to purchase Notes) within 365 days after the date of such Asset Sale;

(ii) to the extent the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary elects to acquire all or substantially all of the properties and assets of a Person in a Permitted Business, to acquire any capital stock of a Person in a Permitted Business if said Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, to acquire other assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business, to make an Investment in assets that will be used or useful in a Permitted Business or to reinvest in assets of or usable in a Permitted Business (including equity securities of a Permitted Business) (including by means of an investment in such assets by a Restricted Subsidiary with Net Available Proceeds received by the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary) within 365 days from the date of such Asset Sale (provided that any assets so acquired will become part of the Collateral as (x) Notes Priority Collateral to the extent such assets are of the type that would constitute Notes Priority Collateral or (y) ABL Priority Collateral to the extent such assets are of the type that would constitute ABL Priority Collateral securing the Notes);

(iii) to the extent the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary elects to make an investment in a capital expenditure used or useful in a Permitted Business within 365 days after the date of such Asset Sale; provided that to the extent such investment is of a type which would constitute Collateral, such investment is thereupon added to the Collateral as (x) Notes Priority Collateral to the extent such investments is of the type that would constitute Notes Priority Collateral or (y) ABL Priority Collateral to the extent such investment is of the type that would constitute ABL Priority Collateral securing the Notes;

(iv) to make an offer to purchase the Notes and any Pari Passu Indebtedness with similar asset sale provisions, pro rata at 100% of the tendered principal amount thereof (or 100% of the accreted value of such other Pari Passu Indebtedness so tendered, if such Pari Passu Indebtedness was offered at a discount) plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the purchase date; and

(v) to the extent of the balance of such Net Available Proceeds after application in accordance with clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, to fund (to the extent consistent with any other applicable provision of this Indenture) any corporate purpose;

provided, however, that in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to clause (i) or (iv) above, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary will retire such

Indebtedness and will cause the related loan commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or purchased (other than Indebtedness under an asset-based debt facility, so long as the asset sold in such Asset Sale constituted part of the borrowing base of such facility prior to such Asset Sale); provided, further, that pending the final application of any such Net Available Proceeds in accordance with this clause (C), the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Indebtedness or otherwise invest such Net Available Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

(2) In the case of Section 4.10(a)(3) or Section 4.10(b)(1)(C), if, during the 365-day period following the date of the Asset Sale, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into a written agreement committing it to apply such Net Available Proceeds in accordance with the requirements of Section 4.10(a)(3) or Section 4.10(b)(1)(C) after such 365-day period, then such 365-day period will be extended with respect to the amount of Net Available Proceeds so committed for a period not to exceed 180 days, until such Net Available Proceeds are required to be applied in accordance with such agreement (or, if earlier, until termination of such agreement) or has been applied toward such construction, as the case may be.

(c) In the event of an Asset Sale that requires the purchase of Notes or in which the Issuer elects to purchase Notes pursuant to Section 4.10(b)(1)(C)(iv), the Issuer will be required to apply such Excess Proceeds to the repayment of the Notes and any other Pari Passu Indebtedness outstanding with similar provisions requiring the Issuer to make an offer to purchase such Indebtedness with the proceeds from any Asset Sale as follows:

(1) the Issuer will make an offer to purchase (a “Net Proceeds Offer”) within ten Business Days of such time from all holders of Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture in the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased out of an amount (the “Note Amount”) equal to the product of such Excess Proceeds multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness; and

(2) to the extent required by such Pari Passu Indebtedness to permanently reduce the principal amount of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, the Issuer will make an offer to purchase or otherwise repurchase or redeem such Pari Passu Indebtedness (a “Pari Passu Offer”) in an amount equal to the excess of the Excess Proceeds over the Note Amount at a purchase price of 100% of their principal amount (or 100% of the accreted value of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, if such Pari Passu Indebtedness was offered at a discount) plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, to the purchase date in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth in this Indenture with respect to the Net Proceeds Offer and in the documentation governing such Pari Passu Indebtedness with respect to the Pari Passu Offer. If the aggregate purchase price of the Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer and Pari Passu Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the remaining Excess Proceeds will be available to the Issuer for use in accordance with clause (b)(1)(C)(v) above. The Issuer shall only be required to make an Net Proceeds Offer for Notes pursuant to this Section 4.10 if the Net Available Proceeds available therefor (after application of the proceeds as provided in clauses (b)(1)(C)(i), (b)(1)(C)(ii) and (b)(1)(C)(iii) above) (the “Excess Proceeds”) exceeds $30.0 million (and any lesser amounts shall be carried forward for purposes of determining whether an Net Proceeds Offer is required with respect to the Net Available Proceeds from any subsequent Asset Sale). Upon completion of any such Net Proceeds Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. The Issuer may make a Net Proceeds Offer if Excess Proceeds are less than $30 million and prior to 365 days after an Asset Sale.

(d) The Collateral Disposition Offer or Net Proceeds Offer will remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Net Proceeds Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Net Proceeds Offer Period (the “Net Proceeds Purchase Date”), the Issuer will purchase the principal amount of Notes, Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness and Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, required to be purchased pursuant to this Section 4.10 (the “Net Proceeds Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Net Proceeds Offer Amount has been so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, all Notes, Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness and Pari Passu Indebtedness, if applicable, validly tendered in response to the Collateral Disposition Offer or the Net Proceeds Offer, as applicable.

(e) If the Net Proceeds Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, then with respect to Holders who have tendered their Notes for purchase pursuant to a Collateral Disposition Offer or Net Proceeds Offer, any accrued and unpaid interest will be paid on such Net Proceeds Purchase Date to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders of Notes who tender Notes pursuant to the Collateral Disposition Offer or Net Proceeds Offer.

(f) On or before the Net Proceeds Purchase Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Net Proceeds Offer Amount of Notes, Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness and Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, or portions of Notes, Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness and Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Collateral Disposition Offer or Net Proceeds Offer, or if less than the Net Proceeds Offer Amount has been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, all Notes, Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness and Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof in the case of the Notes. The Issuer or the applicable tender agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five Business Days after termination of the Net Proceeds Offer Period) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder of Notes or holder or lender of Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness or Pari Passu Indebtedness, as the case may be, an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes, Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness or Pari Passu Indebtedness so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn by such holder or lender, as the case may be, and accepted by the Issuer for purchase, and, in the case of Notes in non-global form, the Issuer will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon delivery of an Authentication Order from the Issuer, will authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered; provided that each such new Note will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Any Note not so accepted will be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuer to the Holder thereof. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Collateral Disposition Offer or Net Proceeds Offer, as the case may be, on the Net Proceeds Purchase Date.

(g) For purposes of Sections 4.10(a)(1)(B) and 4.10(b)(1)(B) and for no other purpose, the following shall be deemed to be cash:

(1) the amount (without duplication) of any liabilities (as shown on the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet) (other than Subordinated Indebtedness or intercompany Indebtedness) of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary that is expressly assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a written agreement that releases the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability therefor;

(2) the amount of any securities, notes or other obligations received from such transferee that are within 180 days after such Asset Sale converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash actually so received);

(3) any assets or Equity Interests of the kind referred to in clause (b)(1)(C)(ii) and (b)(1)(C)(iii) of this Section 4.10;

(4) accounts receivable of a business retained by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, following the sale of such business, provided that such accounts receivable (i) are not past due more than 60 days and (ii) do not have a payment date greater than 90 days from the date of the invoices creating such accounts receivable; and

(5) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the 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 (e), not to exceed an amount equal to 5.0% of the Issuer’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets (determined at the time of receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration), with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value.

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sale, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will be governed by Section 4.13 and/or Section 5.1 and not by this Section 4.10.

(i) The Issuer shall reasonably determine in its sole discretion in good faith whether, and to what extent, the Net Available Proceeds of an Asset Sale is attributable to Notes Priority Collateral or ABL Priority Collateral or is invested in Notes Priority Collateral or ABL Priority Collateral, taking into account all relevant factors. In the event that ABL Priority Collateral and Notes Priority Collateral (and/or other assets not constituting Collateral) is disposed of in a single transaction or series of related transactions in which the aggregate sales price or purchase price is not allocated between the ABL Priority Collateral and Notes Priority Collateral (and/or other assets not constituting Collateral), including in connection with the sale of a Guarantor which owns assets constituting both ABL Priority Collateral and Notes Priority Collateral (and/or other assets not constituting Collateral), then, solely for purposes of this Indenture, the portion of the aggregate sales price deemed to be Net Available Proceeds from the ABL Priority Collateral, on the one hand, and Notes Priority Collateral, on the other hand (and/or proceeds of other assets not constituting Collateral), or the portion of the purchase price deemed to be invested in ABL Priority Collateral or Notes Priority Collateral, as the case may be (and/or other assets not constituting Collateral), shall be reasonably allocated by the Issuer in its sole discretion in good faith, taking into account all relevant factors.

(j) The Issuer shall comply with all applicable securities laws and regulations in the United States, including, without limitation, the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to a Collateral Disposition Offer or a Net Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any applicable securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.10, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.10 by virtue of such compliance.

Section 4.11. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its assets to, or purchase any assets from, or enter into any contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving

aggregate payments or consideration to or from the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary in excess of $5.0 million, unless:

(1) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions are not materially less favorable to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could reasonably be expected to have been obtained in a comparable transaction at the time of such transaction in arm’s length dealings with a Person who is not such an Affiliate, or if in the good faith judgment of the Issuer’s Board of Directors, no comparable transaction is available with which to compare such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions, or are otherwise fair to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view; and

(2) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee, (i) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate value in excess of $20.0 million, an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions complies with clause (1) above and (ii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate value in excess of $40.0 million, an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions complies with clause (1) above and which sets forth and authenticates a resolution that has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer.

(b) The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to:

(1) transactions to the extent between or among (i) the Issuer and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or (ii) Restricted Subsidiaries;

(2) employment agreements, equity awards, compensation plans, deferred compensation plans, severance agreements and arrangements, director, trustee, officer and employee compensation (including bonuses) and other benefits (including pursuant to any employment agreement or any retirement, health, stock option or other benefit plan), payments to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and indemnification arrangements, including any other compensation plans, agreements or arrangements, benefit plans, retirement plans, savings plans, vacation plans and directors and officers insurance arrangements entered into by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business and payments pursuant thereto, in each case, as determined in good faith by the Issuer’s Board of Directors or senior management;

(3) Permitted Investments or Restricted Payments which are made in accordance with Section 4.7;

(4) any agreement in effect on the Issue Date (and performance thereunder) or as thereafter amended or replaced in any manner that, taken as a whole, is not materially less advantageous to the Issuer than such agreement as it was in effect on the Issue Date;

(5) any transaction with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Issuer) which would constitute an Affiliate of the Issuer solely because the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an equity interest in or otherwise controls such Person;

(6) advances to officers, directors and employees for moving, entertainment and travel expenses and similar expenditures, in each case, in the ordinary course of business;

(7) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture; provided that in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors of the Issuer or the senior management of the Issuer, such transactions are on terms not materially less favorable to the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could reasonably be expected to be obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Issuer;

(8) the issuance or sale of any Qualified Equity Interests of the Issuer and the granting of registration and other customary rights in connection therewith to, or the receipt of capital contributions from, Affiliates of the Issuer;

(9) any transaction where the only consideration paid by the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary is Qualified Equity Interests of the Issuer;

(10) transactions between the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary and any Person, a director of which is also a director of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer, and such director is the sole cause for such Person to be deemed an Affiliate of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that such director shall abstain from voting as a director of the Issuer or such direct or indirect parent company, as the case may be, on any matter involving such other Person;

(11) the entering into of a tax sharing agreement, or payments pursuant thereto, between the Issuer and/or one or more Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any other Person with which the Issuer or such Subsidiaries are required or permitted to file a consolidated tax return or with which the Issuer or such Subsidiaries are part of a consolidated group for tax purposes to be used by such Person to pay taxes, and which payments by the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not in excess of the tax liabilities that would have been payable by them on a stand-alone basis;

(12) transactions with respect to which the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary delivers to the Trustee a letter from an independent investment bank, appraisal firm, valuation firm or accounting firm stating that the transaction is fair to the Issuer or Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point of view or otherwise complies with the standard in Section 4.11(a)(1);

(13) pledges by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of Equity Interests of an Unrestricted Subsidiary for the benefit of lenders or other creditors of the Unrestricted Subsidiary; and

(14) Investments by Affiliates in securities of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (so long as the Investment is being generally offered to other investors on the same or more favorable terms, any participation in a tender or exchange offer for securities or debt instruments issued by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are conducted on arm’s-length terms and provide for the same price or exchange, as the case may be, to all holders accepting such tender or exchange offer, and payments to an Affiliate in respect of notes, capital stock or Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary on the same basis as concurrent payments made or offered in respect thereof to non-Affiliates.

Section 4.12. Limitation on Liens.

(a) The Issuer and each Guarantor shall not, and the Issuer shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or permit or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of their property or assets (including Equity Interests of any Subsidiary), whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, which Lien secures Indebtedness.

(b) If the Issuer or any Guarantor, directly or indirectly, shall create, incur, assume or permit or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind upon any of their property or assets (including Equity Interests of any Subsidiary), whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, (x) in the case of Liens securing any of the ABL Obligations, Pari Passu ABL Lien Indebtedness or Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness, the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall, contemporaneously with the incurrence of such Lien, grant at least a first- or second-priority Lien consistent with the relative Lien priority set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement subject to Permitted Liens, upon such property or asset as security for the Notes and the Guarantees pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement and any other applicable intercreditor agreement, and (y) in the case of Liens securing Junior Lien Obligations, the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall, contemporaneously with the incurrence of such Lien, grant a priority Lien relative to such Junior Lien Obligations subject to Permitted Liens, upon such property or asset as security for the Notes and the Guarantees pursuant to the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or other applicable intercreditor agreement.

(c) Any such Lien granted to secure the Notes pursuant to clause (b) above on property or assets (which property or assets would not otherwise constitute Collateral other than as required by clause (b) above) shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged in all respects upon (i) the release and discharge of the other Lien to which it relates (except a release and discharge upon payment of the obligation secured by such Lien during the pendency of any Default or Event of Default under this Indenture, in which case such Liens shall only be discharged and released upon payment of the Notes or cessation of such Default or Event of Default) or (ii) in the case of any such Lien in favor of any Guarantee, upon the termination and discharge of such Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

Section 4.13. Offer to Purchase upon Change of Control.

(a) Upon the occurrence of any Change of Control, unless the Issuer has issued a notice of redemption with respect to all of the Notes previously or concurrently as described in Section 3.7, each Holder will have the right, except as provided below, to require that the Issuer purchase all or any portion (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes for a cash price (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”) equal to 101.0% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase.

(b) Not later than 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice:

(1) describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control;

(2) offering to purchase, pursuant to the procedures required by this Indenture and described in the notice (a “Change of Control Offer”), on a date specified in the notice, which shall be a Business Day not earlier than 30 days, nor later than 60 days, from the date the notice is delivered (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), and for the Change of Control Purchase Price, all Notes properly tendered by such Holder pursuant to such Change of Control Offer prior

to 5:00 p.m. New York time on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date; and

(3) describing the procedures, as determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Indenture, that Holders must follow to accept the Change of Control Offer.

(1) deposit with the applicable tender agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Purchase Price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered;

(2) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; and

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

(d) The applicable tender agent will promptly deliver to each Holder who has so tendered Notes the Change of Control Purchase Price for such Notes, and, in the case of non-global forms of Notes, the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes so tendered, if any; provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(e) If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, then with respect to Holders who have tendered their Notes for purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Change of Control Payment Date will be paid on the Change of Control Payment Date to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date.

(f) A Change of Control Offer shall remain open for at least 20 Business Days or for such longer period as is required by law. The Issuer shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

(g) The Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (i) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer, (ii) a notice of redemption with respect to all outstanding Notes has been given pursuant to Section 3.7, unless or until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price, or (iii) in connection with or in contemplation of any publicly announced Change of Control, the Issuer has made an offer to purchase (such offer to purchase described in this clause (iii), an “Alternate Offer”) any and all Notes validly tendered at a cash price equal to or higher than the Change of Control Purchase Price and has purchased all Notes properly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Alternate Offer.

(h) If Holders of not less than 90.0% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer and the Issuer, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuer as described above, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer or an Alternate Offer, as applicable, to redeem all

Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to the applicable Change of Control Purchase Price or Alternate Offer price, as applicable, plus, to the extent not included in the Change of Control Purchase Price or Alternate Offer price, as applicable, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

(i) The Issuer shall comply with all applicable securities legislation in the United States, including, without limitation, the requirements of Rule 14e- 1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any applicable securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.13, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.13 by virtue of such compliance.

(j) The provisions in this Section 4.13 relating to the Issuer’s obligation to make a Change of Control Offer may be waived, modified or terminated with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained 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. The closing date of any such Change of Control Offer made in advance of a Change of Control may be changed to conform to the actual closing date of the Change of Control, whether or not later than 60 days from the date the Change of Control Offer notice is delivered as described above.

Section 4.14. Corporate Existence. Subject to Article V, the Issuer shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence of each of the Guarantors in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Issuer or any Guarantor; provided that the Issuer shall not be required to preserve the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of the Guarantors, if the Issuer shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and the Guarantors, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders. Subject to Section 5.1 and the requirements of the Pledge and Security Agreement, nothing herein shall prohibit any Guarantor or Restricted Subsidiary from converting into a corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company in the same or a different jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law (so long as all Collateral owned by such entity prior to such conversion remains Collateral owned by the entity following such conversion).

Section 4.15. Additional Guarantees.

(a) If any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer that is not already a Guarantor shall guarantee any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor under any Debt Facility (including the ABL Credit Agreement) after the Issue Date, then the Issuer shall, within five Business Days thereof, cause such Restricted Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor with respect to the Notes (provided, however, that Motley and its Subsidiaries shall execute and deliver to the Trustee such supplemental indenture on or prior to the Collateral Due Date), upon the terms and subject to the release provisions and other limitations set forth in Article XI. Any Guarantee of a Guarantor shall be released in accordance with Section 11.5.

(b) Each Restricted Subsidiary that becomes a Guarantor on or after the Issue Date shall, also within five Business Days thereof, become a party to the applicable Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and shall as promptly as practicable execute and deliver such security instruments, financing statements, certificates, Officer’s Certificates and Opinions of Counsel (to the extent, and substantially in the form, delivered on the Issue Date or the Collateral Due Date, as applicable) as may be necessary (provided, however, that Subsidiaries of the Issuer that become Guarantors on the Issue Date or on or prior to the Collateral Due Date (including Motley and its Subsidiaries that become Guarantors) shall execute and deliver such documents on or prior to the Collateral Due Date) to vest in the Collateral Agent a perfected first- or second-priority security interest, as the case may be (subject to Permitted Liens), in properties and assets that constitute Collateral as security for the Notes or the Guarantees and as may be necessary to have such property or asset added to the applicable Collateral as required under the Security Documents and this Indenture, and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such properties and assets to the same extent and with the same force and effect.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), a Foreign Subsidiary is not required to become a Guarantor hereunder if the accession of such subsidiary as a Guarantor could reasonably be expected (in good faith by the Issuer but in its sole determination) to result in material adverse tax consequences to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries and so long as the Holders’ ability to receive payment in full with respect to the Obligations under this Indenture and the Notes will not be impaired (it being understood that the materiality of such adverse tax consequences of guaranteeing the Notes by such Foreign Subsidiary shall be analyzed with respect to the incremental tax burden of the guarantee of the Notes and not the initial guarantee of Indebtedness by such Foreign Subsidiary).

Section 4.16. Limitation on Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. (a) The Board of Directors of the Issuer may designate any Subsidiary (including any newly formed or newly acquired Subsidiary or a Person becoming a Subsidiary through merger or consolidation or Investment therein) of the Issuer as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” under this Indenture (a “Designation”) only if:

(1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such Designation; and

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

(b) No Subsidiary shall be Designated as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” unless:

(1) all of the Indebtedness of such Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries shall, at the date of Designation, consist of Non-Recourse Debt, except for the pledge by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Equity Interests of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and except for any guarantee of Indebtedness of such Subsidiary by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary that is permitted as both an incurrence of Indebtedness and an Investment (in each case in an amount equal to the amount of such Indebtedness so guaranteed) permitted under Section 4.7 and Section 4.9;

(2) except to the extent permitted by Section 4.11, on the date such Subsidiary is Designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary, such Subsidiary is not party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding with the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary unless the terms of the agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding are not materially less favorable to the Issuer

or the Restricted Subsidiary than those that could reasonably be expected to have been obtained at the time from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Issuer; and

(3) such Subsidiary is a Person with respect to which neither the Issuer nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has any direct or indirect obligation (a) to subscribe for additional Equity Interests of such Person or (b) to maintain or preserve the Person’s financial condition or to cause the Person to achieve any specified levels of operating results.

(c) Any such Designation by the Board of Directors of the Issuer shall be evidenced by filing with the Trustee a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer giving effect to such Designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Designation complies with the foregoing conditions. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary fails to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of the Subsidiary and any Liens on assets of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary at such time and, if the Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred under Section 4.9 or the Lien is not permitted under Section 4.12, the Issuer shall be in default of the applicable covenant.

(d) The Board of Directors of the Issuer may redesignate an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary (a “Redesignation”) only if:

(1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of and after giving effect to such Redesignation; and

(2) all Liens, Indebtedness and Investments of such Unrestricted Subsidiary outstanding immediately following such Redesignation would, if incurred or made at such time, have been permitted to be incurred or made for all purposes of this Indenture.

Any such Redesignation shall be evidenced by filing with the Trustee a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Redesignation complies with the foregoing conditions.

Section 4.17. Effectiveness of Covenants.

(a) Following the first day (such date, a “Suspension Date”) on which (1) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from both of the Rating Agencies, and (2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the following covenants (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”):

(i) Section 4.7, Limitation on Restricted Payments;

(ii) Section 4.8, Limitation on Dividend and Other Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries;

(iii) Section 4.9, Limitation on Additional Indebtedness;

(iv) Clauses (b) and (c) of Section 4.10, Limitation on Asset Sales;

(v) Section 4.11, Limitation on Affiliate Transactions;

(vi) Section 4.15, Additional Guarantees (but only with respect to any Person that is required to become a Guarantor after the date of the commencement of the applicable Suspension Date);

(vii) Section 4.16, Limitation on Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries; and

(viii) Section 5.1(a)(3), Consolidation, Merger, Conveyance, Transfer or Lease.

(b) If at any time after a Suspension Date, a credit rating assigned to the Notes is downgraded from an Investment Grade Rating by any Rating Agency or if a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Suspended Covenants will thereafter be reinstated as if such covenants had never been suspended (the “Reinstatement Date”) and be applicable pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (including in connection with performing any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the terms of this Indenture), unless and until the Notes subsequently attain an Investment Grade Rating from both Rating Agencies and no Default or Event of Default is in existence (in which event the Suspended Covenants shall no longer be in effect for such time that the Notes maintain an Investment Grade Rating from both Rating Agencies and no Default or Event of Default is in existence); provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist under this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period (as defined below), regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reinstatement Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.”

(c) On the Reinstatement Date, (i) all Indebtedness incurred during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date so that it is classified under Section 4.9(b)(3), (ii) any transaction with an Affiliate entered into after the Suspension Date will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified under Section 4.11(b)(4), (iii) any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to take any actions described in the first paragraph of Section 4.8 entered into after the Suspension Date and existing on the Reinstatement Date will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified under clause (1) of Section 4.8 and (iv) any Investment made after the Suspension Date will be deemed to have been made on the Issue Date, so that it is classified under clause (14) of the definition of “Permitted Investment.” Calculations made after the Reinstatement Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.7 will be made as though Section 4.7 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.7(a).

(d) During any period when the Suspended Covenants are suspended, the Board of Directors of the Issuer may not designate any of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this Indenture.

(e) Promptly following the occurrence of any Suspension Date or Reinstatement Date, the Issuer will provide an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee regarding such occurrence. The Trustee shall have no obligation to monitor or independently determine or verify if a Suspension Date or Reinstatement Date has occurred or notify the Holders of any Suspension Date or Reinstatement Date. The Trustee may provide a copy of such Officer’s Certificate to any Holder of the Notes upon request.

Section 4.18. Use of Proceeds Prior to the Consummation of the Acquisition.

(a) Prior to the earlier of (1) the date of the consummation of the Acquisition and (2) the date on which the Notes are redeemed by the Issuer pursuant to Section 3.8, the Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, use the net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes for any other purpose other than making investments in Cash Equivalents or consummating the Acquisition (including the payment of fees and expenses related to the Acquisition).

(b) Upon the consummation of the Acquisition, this Section 4.18 will automatically cease to be of any force or effect.

ARTICLE V
SUCCESSORS

Section 5.1. Consolidation, Merger, Conveyance, Transfer or Lease.

(a) The Issuer shall not, directly or indirectly, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not the Issuer is the surviving Person), or sell, lease, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of or assign all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) to any Person unless:

(1) either:

(A) the Issuer will be the surviving or continuing Person; or

(B) the Person (if other than the Issuer) formed by or surviving or continuing from such consolidation or merger or to which such sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition or assignment shall be made (collectively, the “Successor”) is a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership organized and existing under the laws of the United States or of any State of the United States or the District of Columbia, and the Successor expressly assumes by agreement all of the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and the Successor shall cause such amendments, supplements or other instruments to be executed, filed and recorded in such jurisdictions as may be required by applicable law to preserve and protect the Lien on the Collateral owned by or transferred to such Successor, together with such financing statements or comparable documents as may be required to perfect any security interests in such Collateral which may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement or a similar document under the Uniform Commercial Code or other similar statute or regulation of the relevant states or jurisdictions; provided, that if the Successor is not a corporation, a Restricted Subsidiary that is a corporation expressly assumes as co-obligor all of the obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes pursuant to a supplemental indenture to this Indenture executed and delivered to the Trustee;

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the assumption of the obligations as set forth in clause (1)(B) above and the incurrence of any Indebtedness to be incurred in connection therewith, and the use of any net proceeds therefrom on a pro forma basis, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(3) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction and the assumption of the obligations as set forth in clause (1)(B) above and the incurrence of any Indebtedness to be incurred in connection therewith, and the use of any net proceeds therefrom on a pro forma basis,

(i) the Issuer or its Successor, as the case may be, could incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception or (ii) the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio for the Issuer or its Successor, as the case may be, and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be greater than or equal to such Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio prior to such transaction; and

(4) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such merger, consolidation or transfer and such agreement and/or supplemental indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture and that all covenants and conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of such agreement and/or supplemental indenture have been satisfied.

For purposes of this Section 5.1, any Indebtedness of the Successor which was not Indebtedness of the Issuer immediately prior to the transaction shall be deemed to have been incurred in connection with such transaction.

(b) Except in circumstances under which this Indenture provides for the release of the Guarantee of a Guarantor as described in Section 11.5, no Guarantor will, and the Issuer will not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not the Guarantor is the surviving Person), or sell, lease, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of or assign all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor to any Person, unless either:

(1)

(a) (A) such Guarantor will be the surviving or continuing Person; or (B) the Person (if other than such Guarantor) formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger is the Issuer or another Guarantor or assumes, by agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee of such Guarantor and this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and the successor Guarantor shall cause such amendments, supplements or other instruments to be executed, filed and recorded in such jurisdictions as may be required by applicable law to preserve and protect the Lien on the Collateral owned by or transferred to such successor Guarantor, together with such financing statements or comparable documents as may be required to perfect any security interests in such Collateral which may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement or a similar document under the Uniform Commercial Code or other similar statute or regulation of the relevant states or jurisdictions;

(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(c) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such merger or consolidation and such agreements and/or supplemental indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture and that all covenants and conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of such agreement and/or supplemental indenture have been satisfied; or

(2) the transaction is made in compliance with Section 4.10.

For purposes of the foregoing, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise, in a single transaction or series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of one or more Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer, the Equity Interests of which constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Issuer, will be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Issuer.

(c) Upon any consolidation or merger of the Issuer or a Guarantor, or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer or a Guarantor in accordance with the foregoing, in which the Issuer or such Guarantor is not the continuing obligor under the Notes or its Guarantee, as applicable, the surviving entity formed by such consolidation or merger or into which the Issuer or such Guarantor is merged or the Person to which the sale, conveyance, lease, transfer, disposition or assignment is made will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer or such Guarantor under the Notes or its Guarantee, as the case may be, this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement with the same effect as if such surviving entity had been named therein as the Issuer or such Guarantor and, except in the case of a lease, the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, will be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes or in respect of its Guarantee, as the case may be, and all of the Issuer’s or such Guarantor’s other obligations and covenants under the Notes or its Guarantee as the case may be, this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate or merge with or into or convey, transfer, sell, dispose, assign or lease, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of its assets to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) the Issuer or any Guarantor may consolidate or merge with or into or convey, transfer or lease, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or part of its properties and assets to the Issuer or another Guarantor or merge with a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Issuer or Guarantor in a State of the United States or the District of Columbia, as long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby.

ARTICLE VI
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.1. Events of Default. Each of the following is an “Event of Default”:

(1) failure to pay interest on any of the Notes when the same becomes due and payable and the continuance of any such failure for 30 days;

(2) failure to pay principal of or premium, if any, on any of the Notes when it becomes due and payable, whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption, required purchase, acceleration or otherwise;

(3) failure by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with any of their respective agreements or covenants described in Section 5.1;

(5) except as described in clauses (3) and (4) of this Section 6.1, failure by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to comply with any other covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture, the Notes, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents and continuance of this failure for 60 days after notice of the failure has been given to the Issuer by the Trustee or to the Issuer and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding;

(6) default by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under any mortgage, indenture or other instrument or agreement under which there is issued or by which there is secured or evidenced Indebtedness for borrowed money by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness now exists or is incurred after the Issue Date, other than intercompany Indebtedness, which default:

(A) is caused by a failure to pay at its Stated Maturity principal on such Indebtedness within the applicable express grace period and any extensions thereof, or

(B) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its Stated Maturity (which acceleration is not rescinded, annulled or otherwise cured within 30 days of receipt by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary of notice of any such acceleration),

and, in each case, the principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other Indebtedness with respect to which an event described in clause (A) or (B) has occurred and is continuing, aggregates $50.0 million or more;

(7) one or more final judgments entered by a court of competent jurisdiction (to the extent not covered by insurance) for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess of $50.0 million shall be rendered against the Issuer, any of its Significant Subsidiaries or group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, and the same shall remain undischarged for a period of 60 consecutive days during which execution shall not be effectively stayed;

(8) the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer or group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(i) is for relief against the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer or group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, in an involuntary case;

(ii) appoints a custodian of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer or group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer or group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or

(iii) orders the liquidation of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer or group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary

(9) any Guarantee of a Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Guarantors that, taken together, as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Issuer, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of such Guarantee and this Indenture) or is declared null and void and unenforceable or found to be invalid or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Guarantors that, taken together, as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Issuer, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) denies its liability under the Guarantee of such Guarantor (other than by reason of release of such Guarantor or such group of Guarantors from its Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Guarantee); or

(10) the occurrence of any of the following:

(A) any Security Document or any obligation under the Intercreditor Agreement is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid in any material respect or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect in any material respect, other than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the relevant Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement; provided that it will not be a Default if the sole result is that any Lien with a fair market value of not more than $20.0 million ceases to be enforceable;

(B) with respect to any Collateral having a fair market value in excess of $20.0 million, individually or in the aggregate, (x) the failure of the security interest with respect to such Collateral under the Security Documents, at any time, to be in full force and effect in any material respect for any reason other than in accordance with the terms of the relevant Security Documents and the terms of this Indenture or the Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, and other than the satisfaction in full of all obligations under this Indenture and discharge of this Indenture if such failure continues for 60 days or (y) the assertion by the Issuer or any Guarantor, in any pleading in any court of competent jurisdiction, that any such security interest is invalid or

unenforceable; provided that it will not be an Event of Default if such condition results from the action or inaction of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent; or

(C) the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary that is a Guarantor (or any such Guarantors that taken together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), or any Person acting on behalf of any of them, denies or disaffirms, in writing, any material obligation of the Issuer or such Significant Subsidiary that is a Guarantor (or such Guarantors that taken together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) set forth in or arising under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Security Document.

Section 6.2. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(8) with respect to the Issuer) shall have occurred and be continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee, by written notice to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 25.0% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may declare (an “acceleration declaration”) all amounts owing under the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such acceleration declaration, the aggregate principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(8) occurs with respect to the Issuer, then all outstanding Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration, further action or notice to the extent permitted by applicable law.

In the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(6) above, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any resulting Payment Default with respect to the Notes) will be annulled, waived and rescinded with respect to the Notes, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 30 days after such Event of Default first arose the Issuer delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that (a) the Indebtedness or Guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been paid or discharged, (b) the holders of the Indebtedness have rescinded or waived the acceleration giving rise to such Event of Default or (c) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been otherwise cured; provided, however, that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal amount of the Notes as described above be annulled, waived or rescinded upon the happening of any such events.

After such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may rescind and annul such acceleration and its consequences if:

(1) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;

(2) all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived other than nonpayment of accelerated principal and interest;

(3) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; and

(4) the Issuer has paid the Trustee and the Collateral Agent its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee and the Collateral Agent for its reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 6.3. 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, if any, 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 in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.4. Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Section 9.2, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes. 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.

Section 6.5. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent or exercising any trust power conferred on them. However, (i) the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that may involve the Trustee or the Collateral Agent in personal liability, or that the Trustee or the Collateral Agent determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders not joining in the giving of such direction and (ii) the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from the Holders.

Section 6.6. Limitation on Suits. A Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement) only if:

(1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(2) the Holder or Holders of at least 25.0% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3) such Holder or Holders offer the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liability or expense;

(4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and

(5) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request.

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

Section 6.7. Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the contractual right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of,

premium, if any, or interest on, such Note or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment, on or after the due date expressed in the Notes, shall not be modified without the consent of the Holder.

Section 6.8. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(1) or Section 6.1(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 Issuer for the whole amount of principal of, premium and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, 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, the Collateral Agent, their agents and counsel.

Section 6.9. 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 and the Collateral Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, their agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other securities or property payable or deliverable upon the conversion or exchange of the Notes or on any such claims, and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee or Collateral Agent under Section 7.6. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee or Collateral Agent under Section 7.6 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing in this Section 6.9 shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10. Priorities. (a) With respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, if the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article VI, it shall pay out the money and property in the following order:

First: to the ratable payment of fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) of the ABL Collateral Agent and the agent or representative of any Pari Passu ABL Lien Indebtedness;

Section 6.11. Undertaking for Costs.

ARTICLE VII
TRUSTEE

Section 7.1. 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 exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

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

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

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

(1) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.1;

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

(e) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to this Section 7.1.

(f) The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon facsimile, pdf or electronic transmission of documents hereunder.

Section 7.2. Rights of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting on any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, notice, report, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other document (whether in original or facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated therein.

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. Prior to taking, suffering or admitting any action, the Trustee may consult with counsel of the Trustee’s own choosing, and the

Trustee shall be fully protected from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in conclusive reliance on the advice or opinion of such counsel.

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

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.

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

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

(g) 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, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or documents, but the Trustee, 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 during normal business hours the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Issuer, subject to execution of reasonable confidentiality agreements and attorney-client privilege, and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(h) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, the Collateral Agent, the Agents and each other agent, custodian and Person employed to act hereunder.

(i) The Trustee may request that the Issuer and each of the Guarantors deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of Officers of the Issuer and each Guarantor, as applicable, authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees on behalf of the Issuer and/or the Guarantors, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any Person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any Person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

(j) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or the Trustee shall have received from the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes or from any Holder written notice thereof at its address set forth in Section 12.2 and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture and states that it is an “notice of default.” In the absence of such actual knowledge or such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume that no such Default or Event of Default exists.

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

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

(m) The Trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; provided, however, that if it acquires any conflicting interest, it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign.

(n) The Issuer will be responsible for making calculations called for under the Notes, including but not limited to determination of redemption price, premium, if any, and any other amounts payable on the Notes. The Issuer will make the calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding on the Holders of the Notes. The Issuer will provide a schedule of its calculations to the Trustee, upon request, when applicable, and the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of the Issuer’s calculations without independent verification.

Section 7.3. Individual Rights of the Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer 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 7.9.

Section 7.4. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Notes or any Guarantee, it shall not be accountable for the use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Issuer or upon the Issuer’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes, any Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee hereunder, or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication hereunder.

Section 7.5. Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall deliver to Holders a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders.

Section 7.6. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and for all services rendered by it hereunder as agreed upon in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee (which for purposes of this Section 7.6 shall include its officers, directors, employees and agents) against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses incurred by it (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, the performance of its obligations and/or exercise of its rights hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer or any Guarantor (including this Section 7.6) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the

Issuer or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense shall be caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. In the event that defense of any such claim is assumed by the Issuer or a Guarantor, it shall be done so with the Trustee’s consent, and the Trustee may have one separate counsel, and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Trustee. The Issuer need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Section 7.6 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the payment of the Notes or the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section 7.6, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal or interest, if any, on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the payment of the Notes and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(8) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

Section 7.7. Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.7.

The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuer in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee upon 30 days’ prior notice by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if:

(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.9;

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

(c) a receiver of the Trustee or of its property is appointed or any public officer takes charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation; or

(d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

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

If a successor trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, such retiring Trustee (at the expense of the Issuer), the Issuer or the Holders of at least 10.0% in

principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment 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 7.9, 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 Issuer. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor trustee shall have all the rights, powers and the duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided that all sums owing to such Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.6. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.7, the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under Section 7.6 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.8. Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc. If the Trustee or any Agent consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business (including this transaction) to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee or any Agent, as applicable.

Section 7.9. 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 or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. Such Trustee (or its parent) together with its affiliates shall at all times have a combined capital surplus of at least $50.0 million as set forth in its most recent annual report of condition.

Section 7.10. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

(a) At any time when any of the Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to the Notes which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate the Notes and the Trustee shall give written notice of such appointment to all Holders of Notes, in the manner provided for in Section 12.2. Notes so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by the Trustee, and a copy of such instrument shall be promptly furnished to the Issuer. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Notes by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent.

(b) Each Authenticating Agent shall be reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such corporation publishes or files reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.10, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published or filed. If at

any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 7.10.

(c) Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

(d) An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Issuer. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Issuer. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Issuer and shall give written notice of such appointment to all Holders of Notes, in the manner provided for in Section 12.2. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

(e) The Issuer agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.

ARTICLE VIII
DEFEASANCE; DISCHARGE OF THIS INDENTURE

Section 8.1. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Issuer may, by delivery of an Officer’s Certificate, at any time, elect to have either Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article VIII.

Section 8.2. Legal Defeasance. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.1 of the option applicable to this Section 8.2, the Issuer shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Obligations represented by the Notes and the Guarantees, which shall thereafter be deemed to be outstanding only for the purposes of Section 8.5 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all of its other Obligations under such Notes, Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on written demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute instruments acknowledging the same), and this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect as to all such Notes and Guarantees, except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust funds referred to in Section 8.4(1) (but not a Change of Control Payment or the payment pursuant to a Collateral Disposition Offer or Net Proceeds Offer); (b) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Section 2.2, Section 2.3, Section 2.4, Section 2.7, Section 2.10, and Section 4.2; (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, including without limitation thereunder, under Section 7.6, Section 8.5 and Section 8.7 and the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors in connection therewith; and (d) the provisions of this Article VIII.

Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.2 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.3. If the Issuer exercises the Legal Defeasance option, the Liens on the Collateral will be released and the Guarantees in effect at such time will automatically be released.

Section 8.3. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.1 above of the option applicable to this Section 8.3, the Issuer shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 below, be released from its obligations under Section 4.3, Section 4.5, Section 4.7, Section 4.8, Section 4.9, Section 4.10, Section 4.11, Section 4.12, Section 4.13, Section 4.15, Section 4.16 and Section 5.1(a)(3) on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not outstanding for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed outstanding for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under Section 6.1, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby.

If the Issuer exercises the Covenant Defeasance option, the Liens on the Collateral in respect of the Notes and the Guarantees will be released and the Guarantees in effect at such time will automatically be released.

Section 8.4. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 to the outstanding Notes:

(1) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, as trust funds, in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, U.S. legal tender, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient (without consideration of any reinvestment of interest) to pay the principal of and interest, if any, on the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be;

(2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that:

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

(B) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law,

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Legal 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 Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the 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;

(4) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit relates to other Indebtedness) and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowings);

(5) the Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any other material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture and the agreements governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or, if such breach, violation or default would occur, such breach, violation or default is waived as of, and for all purposes, on and after, the date of such deposit; and

(6) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the conditions precedent provided for in clauses (1) through (5) of this Section 8.4 have been complied with; provided that the opinion with respect to the condition in clause (5) may be limited to a review of instruments certified by an Officer as being the only material instruments of the Issuer.

Section 8.5. Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to Section 8.6, all U.S. legal tender and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.5, the “Deposit Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.4 or Section 8.8 in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust, shall not be invested, and shall be applied by the Deposit Trustee in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer or any Subsidiary acting as Paying Agent) as the Deposit 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, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Deposit Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.4 or Section 8.8 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.

Anything in this Article VIII to the contrary notwithstanding, the Deposit Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the written request of the Issuer and be relieved of all liability with respect to any U.S. legal tender or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.4 or Section 8.8 which are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge, as the case may be.

Section 8.7. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.2, Section 8.3 or Section 8.8, 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 obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.2, Section 8.3 or Section 8.8 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.2, Section 8.3 or Section 8.8, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer 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.

Section 8.8. Discharge. This Indenture and the Security Documents will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Notes which shall survive until all Notes have been canceled and the rights, protections and immunities of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent) as to all outstanding Notes and security granted for the Notes and the Guarantees when either:

(1) all the Notes that have been authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from this trust), have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(2) (A) all Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation otherwise (i) have become due and payable, (ii) will become due and payable, or may be called for redemption, within one year or (iii) have been called for redemption pursuant to Section 3.7 and, in any case, the Issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, U.S. legal tender, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient (without consideration of any reinvestment of interest) to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness (including all principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any) on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (provided that if such redemption is made as provided under Section 3.7(a), (x) the amount of cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, that must be irrevocably deposited will be determined using an assumed Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of such deposit and (y) the depositor must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited additional money in trust on the redemption date as necessary to pay the Applicable Premium as determined by such date) (any such amount, the “Applicable Premium Deficit”) (it being understood that any satisfaction and discharge shall be subject to the condition subsequent that such Applicable Premium Deficit is in fact paid); provided that the Trustee shall have no liability whatsoever in the event that such Applicable Premium Deficit is not in fact paid after any satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and that any Applicable Premium Deficit will 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 will be applied toward such redemption;

(B) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable by it under this Indenture; and

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

In addition, the 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 complied with. Upon the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all Liens on the Collateral securing the Notes and all Guarantees then in effect will be automatically released (without the need for any action by any party), and the Trustee and Collateral Agent shall execute acknowledgements thereof upon the reasonable request of the Issuer.

After the Notes are no longer outstanding, the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in Section 7.6, Section 8.5 and Section 8.7 shall survive any discharge pursuant to this Section 8.8.

After such delivery or irrevocable deposit and receipt of the Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, the Trustee, upon written request, shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified above.

Section 9.3. Revocation and Effect of Consents.

(5) in part, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement; or

(6) in whole or in part, as applicable, as to all or any part of the Collateral that has been taken by eminent domain, condemnation or other similar circumstances,

provided that, in the case of any release in whole pursuant to clauses (1), (2) and (4) above, all amounts owing to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent under this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement have been paid in full.

(b) To the extent a proposed release of Collateral is not automatic and requires action by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, the Issuer and each Guarantor will furnish to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, prior to each proposed release of such Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents and this Indenture, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture and the Security Documents relating to such release have been complied with.

(c) Upon compliance by the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be, with the conditions precedent set forth above, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall promptly cause to be released and

101

reconveyed (at the expense of the Issuer or the Guarantors) to the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be, the released Collateral.

Section 10.7. Authorization of Actions to be Taken by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent Under the Security Documents.

(a) Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents, each of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders, on behalf of the Holders, take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to (1) enforce any of its rights or any of the rights of the Holders under the Security Documents and (2) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Collateral in respect of the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors hereunder and thereunder. Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall have the power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of the Security Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interest and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral (including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the security interest hereunder or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders or the Trustee).

(b) Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 4.4 of the Pledge and Security Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for, nor do they make any representation regarding, the existence, genuineness 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 omission to act on its part hereunder, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Issuer to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any responsibility for recording, filing, re-recording or re-filing any financing statement, continuation statement, document, instrument or other notice in any public office at any time or times or to otherwise take any action to perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest granted to it under the Security Documents or otherwise.

(c) Where any provision of this Indenture requires that additional property or assets be added to the Collateral and a security interest with respect to such property or assets would not be created or perfected without preparation and execution of additional documentation, the Issuer and each Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent the following:

(1) a request from the Issuer that such Collateral be added;

(2) the form of instrument adding such Collateral, which, based on the type and location of the property subject thereto, shall be in substantially the form of the applicable Security Documents entered into on the Collateral Due Date, with such changes thereto as the Issuer shall consider appropriate, or in such other form as the Issuer shall deem proper; provided that any such changes or such form are administratively satisfactory to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent; and

(3) such financing statements, if any, as the Issuer shall deem necessary to perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Collateral.

102

(d) The Trustee and the Collateral Agent, in giving any consent or approval under the Security Documents or in executing any Security Documents, shall be entitled to receive, as a condition to such consent or approval or to executing such document in the case of a request to execute a Security Document, a request of the Issuer and, in all cases, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that all conditions precedent specified in this Indenture with respect to the action or omission for which consent or approval is to be given have been satisfied or that such action or omission for which consent or approval is not being given does not violate this Indenture, and the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be fully protected in giving such consent or approval on the basis of such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel.

(e) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, whenever reference is made in this Indenture or any Security Document to any discretionary action 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 Collateral Agent or to any 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 Collateral Agent, it is understood that in all cases the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any such action under this Indenture if it shall not have received such written instruction, advice or concurrence of the Trustee (acting at the direction of the Holders and otherwise in accordance with this Indenture, Intercreditor Agreements and other Security Documents), and such indemnity from the Holders as it deems appropriate. This provision is intended solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors and permitted assigns and is not intended to and will not entitle the other parties hereto to any defense, claim or counterclaim, or confer any rights or benefits on any party hereto.

Section 10.8. Notes Collateral Account.

(a) The Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed under, and in accordance with, the Security Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders according to the provisions of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement.

(b) The Issuer shall establish upon the first Asset Sale of Notes Priority Collateral, with the Collateral Agent the Notes Collateral Account, which shall at all times hereafter until this Indenture shall have terminated, be maintained with, and under the control of, the Collateral Agent. The Net Available Proceeds from any Asset Sale of Notes Priority Collateral shall be deposited in such Notes Collateral Account pending distribution in accordance with Section 4.10(a) of this Indenture.

Section 10.9. Information Regarding Collateral.

(a) The Issuer shall furnish to the Collateral Agent, with respect to the Issuer or any Guarantor, promptly (and in any event within no more than thirty days of such change) written notice of any change in such Person’s (i) legal name, (ii) jurisdiction of organization or formation, (iii) identity or corporate structure or (iv) legal identification number. The Issuer and the Guarantors will take all necessary action so that the Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture and/or the Security Documents is perfected with the same priority as immediately prior to such change to the extent required by this Indenture and/or the Security Documents. The Issuer shall also promptly notify the Collateral Agent if any material portion of the Collateral is damaged, destroyed or condemned.

(b) Each year, within 120 days after the end of the preceding fiscal year, the Issuer shall deliver to each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent a certificate of a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuer setting forth the information required pursuant to the schedules required

103

by this Indenture and/or the Security Documents or confirming that there has been no change in such information since the date of the prior annual certification.

Section 10.10. Negative Pledge. The Issuer and each Guarantor shall not, and the Issuer shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, further pledge the Collateral as security or otherwise, subject to Permitted Liens.

Section 10.11. Regarding the Collateral Agent

(a) The Collateral Agent is authorized and empowered to appoint one or more subagents or co-collateral agents as it deems necessary or appropriate.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 4.4 of the Pledge and Security Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any 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 Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all of the Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s property constituting collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Security Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture or any Security Document other than pursuant to the instructions of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes or as otherwise provided in the Security Documents.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture or the Security Documents, in the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under the mortgages or take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has determined that the Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances. The Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this clause if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Issuer or the Holders to be sufficient.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for (i) any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with this Indenture 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 jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, and (ii) interest on any money received by it except as the Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Issuer (and money held in trust by the Collateral Agent shall be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law).

(e) The Collateral Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords similar property held for its own benefit and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in value of any of the Collateral, including, without limitation, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith.

104

(f) The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of this Indenture, the Security Documents or any actions 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 and the Security Documents, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Collateral Agent or the Trustee in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Collateral Agent or the Trustee shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral. In the event that the 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, which in the Collateral Agent’s or the Trustee’s sole discretion may cause the 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 Collateral Agent or the Trustee to incur liability under CERCLA or any other federal, state or local law, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as the 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 Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any other Person for any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Collateral Agent’s 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 environment. If at any time it is necessary or advisable for property to be possessed, owned, operated or managed by any Person (including the Collateral Agent or the Trustee) other than the Issuer or the Guarantors, subject to the terms of the Security Documents, a majority in interest of Holders shall direct the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to appoint an appropriately qualified Person (excluding the Collateral Agent or the Trustee) whom it shall designate to possess, own, operate or manage, as the case may be, such property.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Collateral Agent hereunder, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified prior to taking action, shall survive the satisfaction, discharge or termination of this Indenture or earlier termination, resignation or removal of the Trustee, in such capacity, with respect to the holders of the ABL Priority Collateral or the Other Pari Passu Lien Obligations, as applicable, to the extent the Security Documents remain in force thereafter.

ARTICLE XI
GUARANTEES

Section 11.1. Guarantees.

(a) For value received, each Guarantor, fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor and each other Person which may become a Guarantor hereunder, guarantees the Notes and obligations of the Issuer hereunder and thereunder, and guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee, that: (i) the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes shall be paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, together with interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any overdue interest, if any, to the extent lawful, and all other Obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee under this Indenture or the Notes shall be paid in full or performed, all in

105

accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or of any such other obligations, the same shall be paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Each of the Guarantees shall be a guarantee of payment and not of collection.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the 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 Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor.

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

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

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

(f) Each Guarantor that makes a payment for distribution under its Guarantee is entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under this Indenture to seek contribution from each other Guarantor in a pro rata amount of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment in accordance with GAAP.

106

Section 11.2. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 11.1, each Guarantor agrees that this Indenture or a supplemental indenture in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by an Officer of such Guarantor (or, if an Officer is not available, by a board member or director) on behalf of such Guarantor by manual or facsimile signature. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 11.1 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes. In case the Officer, board member or director of such Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture or supplemental indenture, as applicable, no longer holds such or any office at the time the Trustee authenticates any Note, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

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

Section 11.3. Severability. In case any provision of any Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 11.4. Limitation of Guarantors’ Liability. Each Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law or the provisions of its local law relating to fraudulent transfer or conveyance. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee and the related security granted as Collateral therefor (other than a company that is a direct or indirect parent of the Issuer) shall be limited to the maximum amount that will not, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor (including, without limitation, any guarantees under the ABL Credit Agreement) and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or the related security granted as Collateral therefor, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee or the related security granted as Collateral therefor constituting a fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent preference or fraudulent transfer or otherwise reviewable under applicable law.

Section 11.5. Releases. A Guarantor shall be automatically released from its Obligations under its Guarantee and this Indenture (without the need for any action by any party) upon:

(a)

(1) any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.10 of this Indenture;

(2) any sale, exchange or transfer (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of all or a portion of the Equity Interests of such Guarantor after which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary, which sale, exchange or transfer does not violate Section 4.10 of this Indenture;

(3) the proper Designation of such Guarantor by the Issuer as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

107

(4) upon the release of an Obligation by such Guarantor under the ABL Credit Agreement or such other Debt Facility that initially triggered such Guarantor’s obligations to incur such Guarantee if such Guarantor would not then otherwise be required to guarantee the Notes pursuant to this Indenture;

(5) if the Issuer exercises its Legal Defeasance option or its Covenant Defeasance option pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 or if its Obligations under this Indenture are discharged in accordance with Section 8.8; or

(6) liquidation or dissolution of such Guarantor; provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and

(b) the Issuer delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the release of such Guarantor’s Guarantee have been complied with.

Upon the release of any Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably requested in order to evidence the release of the Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee.

Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article XI.

Section 11.6. Benefits Acknowledged. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that its guarantee and waivers pursuant to its Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

The parties hereto, by written notice to the others, may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.

All notices and communications (other than those sent to Holders and the Trustee or the Collateral Agent) shall be deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five (5) Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when receipt acknowledged, if telecopied; and the next Business Day after timely delivery to the courier, if sent by overnight air courier promising next Business Day delivery.

Any notice or communication to a Holder and the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall be mailed by first class mail or by overnight air courier promising next Business Day delivery to its address shown on the register kept by the Registrar. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as the Notes are Global Notes, notices to be given to the Holders shall be given to the Depositary, in accordance with its applicable policies as in effect from time to time. Failure to mail a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders. Any notice mailed or delivered to a Holder in the aforesaid manner shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether or not such Holder actually receives such notice.

In respect of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to verify or confirm that the Person sending instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications or information by electronic transmission is, in fact, a Person authorized to give such instructions, directions, reports notices or other communications or information on behalf of the party purporting to send such electronic transmission; and the Trustee shall not have any liability for any losses, liability, costs or expenses incurred or sustained by any party as a result of such reliance upon or compliance with such instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications or information. Each other party agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of electronic methods to submit instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications or indemnifications to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, notices, reports or other communications or information, and the risks of interception and misuse by third parties.

If a notice or communication is delivered in the manner provided above within the time prescribed, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it, except in the case of notices or communications given to the Trustee, which shall be effective only upon actual receipt.

If the Issuer delivers a notice or communication to Holders, it shall mail a copy to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent at the same time.

109

In case, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Holders of Notes when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be sufficient giving of such notice for every purpose hereunder.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language, except that any published notice may be in an official language of the country of publication.

Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

Section 12.3. Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent. Upon any request or application by the Issuer to the Trustee to take any action under this Indenture (other than in connection with the issuance of the Initial Notes), the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee upon request:

(a) an Officer’s Certificate (which shall include the statements set forth in Section 12.4) stating that, in the opinion of the signer, all conditions precedent and covenants, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been satisfied; and

(b) an Opinion of Counsel (which shall include the statements set forth in Section 12.4) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent and covenants have been satisfied.

In case of any application or request as to which the furnishing of other specified documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such particular application or request, no additional Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel need be furnished.

Section 12.4. Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion. Each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture (other than any certificate required by Section 4.4 or Section 10.9 hereof) shall include substantially:

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

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

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

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

In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other Persons as to other matters, and any one Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

110

Any certificate or opinion of an Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such Officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his or her certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an Officer or Officers of the Issuer stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Issuer, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Section 12.5. Rules by Trustee and Agents. The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of Holders. Each of the Agents may make reasonable rules and set reasonable requirements for its functions.

Section 12.6. No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders. No director, officer, employee, incorporator, partner, member or stockholder of the Issuer or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of the Issuer under the Notes or this Indenture, of any Guarantor under its Guarantee or of the Issuer or any Guarantor under the Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents 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 and the Guarantees.

Section 12.7. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE GUARANTEES. Each of the parties to this Indenture each hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Notes, the Guarantees, this Indenture or the Security Documents, and all such parties hereby irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or federal court and hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent that they may legally do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding.

Section 12.8. No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements.

The Rule 144A Global Note, the IAI Global Note, the Regulation S Global Note and any Unrestricted Global Note are each referred to herein as a “Global Note” and are collectively referred to herein as “Global Notes.” 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 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 redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in

accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.6 of the Indenture and Section 2.2(c) of this Appendix A.

(c) Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 2.1(c) shall apply only to a Global Note deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary.

Subject to any provisions contained in the Indenture, the registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under the Indenture or the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer, the Guarantors or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of such Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

(1) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing; and

(2) in the case of Transfer Restricted Notes, must be transferred or exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to Section 2.2(b) of this

Appendix A or otherwise in accordance with the Restricted Notes Legend, and be accompanied by a certification from the transferor in the form provided on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A for exchange or registration of transfers and, as applicable, delivery of such legal opinions, certifications and other information as may be requested pursuant thereto.

(b) Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Note for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Note. A Definitive Note may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Definitive Note, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar, together with:

(i) a certification from the transferor in the form provided on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A for exchange or registration of transfers and, as applicable, delivery of such legal opinions, certifications and other information as may be requested pursuant thereto; and

(ii) written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Custodian to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Note to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Global Note, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such increase,

the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Note and cause, or direct the Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Global Note to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Note to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Note so canceled. If the applicable Global Note is not then outstanding, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon an Authentication Order, a new applicable Global Note in the appropriate principal amount.

(i) The transfer and exchange of Global Notes or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 2.2(d) of this Appendix A, if any) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall deliver to the Registrar a written order given in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in such Global Note, or another Global Note, and such account shall be credited in accordance with such order with a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Note and the account of the Person making the transfer shall be debited by an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Global Note being transferred.

(ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Note to a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix A (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.3 of this Appendix A), a Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole and not in part if the transfer is by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary

to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

(d) Restrictions on Transfer of Global Notes; Voluntary Exchange of Interests in Transfer Restricted Global Notes for Interests in Unrestricted Global Notes.

(i) Transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note or an IAI Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through another Transfer Restricted Global Note shall be made in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and the Restricted Notes Legend and only upon receipt by the Trustee of a certification from the transferor in the form provided on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A for exchange or registration of transfers and, as applicable, delivery of such legal opinions, certifications and other information as may be requested pursuant thereto. In addition, in the case of a transfer of a beneficial interest in either a Regulation S Global Note or a Rule 144A Global Note for an interest in an IAI Global Note, the transferee must furnish a signed letter substantially in the form of Exhibit B to the Trustee.

(ii) During the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Note may only be sold, pledged or transferred through Euroclear or Clearstream in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, the Restricted Notes Legend on such Regulation S Global Note and any applicable securities laws of any state of the U.S. Prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through a Rule 144A Global Note or an IAI Global Note shall be made only in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and the Restricted Notes Legend and upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certification from the transferor of the beneficial interest in the form provided on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A for exchange or registration of transfers. Such written certification shall no longer be required after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period. Upon the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Note shall be transferable in accordance with applicable law and the other terms of the Indenture.

(iii) Upon the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note may be exchanged for beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note upon certification in the form provided on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A for an exchange from a Regulation S Global Note to an Unrestricted Global Note.

(iv) Beneficial interests in a Transfer Restricted Note that is a Rule 144A Global Note or an IAI Global Note may be exchanged for beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note if the Holder certifies in writing to the Registrar that its request for such exchange is in respect of a transfer made in reliance on Rule 144 (such certification to be in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Form of Note in Exhibit A) and/or upon delivery of such legal opinions, certifications and other information as the Issuer or the Trustee may reasonably request.

(v) If no Unrestricted Global Note is outstanding at the time of a transfer contemplated by the preceding clauses (iii) and (iv), the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon an Authentication Order, a new Unrestricted Global Note in the appropriate principal amount.

Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

Section 2.3 Definitive Notes.

(a) A Global Note deposited with the Depositary or with the Trustee as Custodian pursuant to Section 2.1 may be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of Definitive Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note, in exchange for such Global Note, only if such transfer complies with Section 2.2 of this Appendix A and (i) the Depositary notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Depositary for such Global Note or at any time the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and, in each case, a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of such notice or after the Issuer becomes aware of such cessation, or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from the Depositary.

To the extent any such promissory note is a demand note, each Pledgor party thereto agrees, if requested by the Collateral Agent, to immediately demand payment thereunder upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default specified under Section 6.1 of the Indenture, unless such demand would not be commercially reasonable or

Pledgor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any reasonable and documented payment made or any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.3(g) shall be interpreted as excusing any Pledgor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Pledgor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance and preservation as set forth herein or in the other Notes Documents;

(i) Each Pledgor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Pledgor’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, during the continuance of an Event of Default, of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of the Pledged Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Pledgor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto;

(j) each Pledgor that is an issuer of the Pledged Collateral confirms that it has received notice of the security interest granted hereunder and consents to such security interest and agrees to transfer record ownership of the securities issued by it in connection with any request by the Collateral Agent if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and

(k) with respect to any certificates delivered to the Collateral Agent representing an Equity Interest, either such certificates are Securities as defined in Article 8 of the UCC of the applicable jurisdiction as a result of actions by the issuer or otherwise, or, if such certificates are not Securities, such Pledgor has so informed the Collateral Agent and has taken all steps necessary to perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein as a General Intangible.

The Collateral Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, shall have the right (in its sole and absolute discretion) to hold the Pledged Securities in the name of the applicable Pledgor, endorsed or assigned in blank or in favor of the Collateral Agent or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in its own name as pledgee or the name of its nominee (as pledgee or as sub-agent). If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Pledgor will promptly give to the Collateral Agent copies of any

notices or other communications received by it with respect to Pledged Securities registered in the name of such Pledgor.

(ii) The Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver, to each Pledgor, or cause to be executed and delivered to such Pledgor, in each case at the expense of Pledgor, all such proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as such Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Pledgor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to subparagraph (i) above.

After all Events of Default have been cured or waived and the Company has delivered to the Collateral Agent a certificate to that effect, each Pledgor shall have the right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers that such Pledgor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) above and (ii) the obligations of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(ii) above shall be reinstated.

(g) Each Pledgor represents and warrants (as of the date hereof or the most recent date it is required to execute a new Intellectual Property Security Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof or of the other Notes Documents, as applicable) that a fully executed Intellectual Property Security Agreement containing a description of all Article 9 Collateral that consists of material United States federally issued Patents (and Patents for which United States federal registration applications are pending), material United States federally registered Trademarks (and Trademarks for which United States federal registration applications are pending) and material United States federally registered Copyrights (and Copyrights for which United States federal registration applications are pending) has been delivered for recording with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 261, 15 U.S.C. § 1060 or 17 U.S.C. § 205 and the regulations thereunder, as applicable, to protect the validity of and to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest (or, in the case of Patents and Trademarks, notice thereof) in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, in respect of all Article 9 Collateral consisting of such material Intellectual Property in which a security interest may be perfected by recording with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, and no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary (other than such actions as are necessary to perfect the Security Interest with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of material United States federally issued, registered or

pending Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights acquired or developed after the date hereof).

(h) As to itself and its Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property (the Intellectual Property Collateral), to each Pledgor’s knowledge:

(i) The Intellectual Property Collateral set forth on Schedule II includes all material issued or applied for United States federal Patents (if any), material registered or applied for United States federal Trademarks (if any), material registered or applied for United States federal Copyrights (if any), material domain names owned by such Pledgor (if any) and all IP Agreements with respect to the foregoing to which the Pledgor is a party (if any), in each case, as of the date hereof.

(ii) The Intellectual Property Collateral is subsisting and has not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, and, to the best of such Pledgor’s knowledge, is valid and enforceable, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect. As of the date hereof, such Pledgor is not aware of any uses of any item of Intellectual Property Collateral that would be expected to lead to such item becoming invalid or unenforceable, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect.

(iii) Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect, such Pledgor has (A) made or performed all commercially reasonable acts, including without limitation filings, recordings and payment of all required fees and taxes, required to maintain and protect its interest in each and every item of Intellectual Property Collateral in full force and effect in the United States and (B) used proper statutory notice in connection with its use of each Patent, Trademark and Copyright in the Intellectual Property Collateral.

(iv) With respect to each IP Agreement, the absence, termination or violation of which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect: (A) such Pledgor has not received any notice of termination or cancellation under such IP Agreement; (B) such Pledgor has not received any notice of a breach or default under such IP Agreement, which breach or default has not been cured or waived; and (C) such Pledgor is not in breach or default thereof in any material respect, and no event has occurred that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a breach or default or permit termination, modification or acceleration under such IP Agreement.

Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect, no Intellectual Property Collateral is subject to any outstanding consent, settlement, decree, order, injunction, judgment or ruling restricting the use of any Intellectual Property

Collateral or that would impair the validity or enforceability of such Intellectual Property Collateral.

3.3 Covenants

(a) Subject to the rights of such Pledgor under the Notes Documents to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of Collateral, each Pledgor shall, at its own expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to defend title to the Article 9 Collateral (excluding any Intellectual Property that is not material to the normal conduct of the business of the Pledgors taken as a whole) against all persons and to defend the Security Interest of the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, in such Article 9 Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien that is not a Permitted Lien.

(b) Each Pledgor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent, with prompt notice thereof to the Pledgors, to supplement this Agreement by supplementing Schedule II or adding additional schedules hereto to specifically identify any asset or item that may constitute a material registered or applied for United States federal Copyright (if any), a material issued or applied for United States federal Patent (if any), a material registered or applied for United States federal Trademark (if any) or an IP Agreement (if any); provided that any Pledgor shall have the right, exercisable within 60 days after the Company has been notified by the Collateral Agent or the ABL Collateral Agent of the specific identification of such Article 9 Collateral (or such later date as the ABL Collateral Agent may agree under the ABL Credit Agreement in its sole discretion with respect to such Article 9 Collateral), to advise the Collateral Agent in writing of any inaccuracy of the representations and warranties made by such Pledgor hereunder with respect to such Article 9 Collateral. Each Pledgor agrees that it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such action as shall be necessary in order that all representations and warranties hereunder shall be true and correct with respect to such Article 9 Collateral within 60 days after the date it has been notified by the Collateral Agent or the ABL Collateral Agent of the specific identification of such Article 9 Collateral (or such later date as the ABL Collateral Agent may agree under the ABL Credit Agreement in its sole discretion with respect to such Article 9 Collateral).

(c) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to verify under reasonable procedures the validity, amount, quality, quantity, value, condition and status of, or any other matter relating to, the Article 9 Collateral, including, in the case of Accounts or Article 9 Collateral in the possession of any third person, by contacting Account Debtors or the third person possessing such Article 9 Collateral for the purpose of making such a verification. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to share any information it gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured Party.

(d) At its option, the Collateral Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9 Collateral (excluding any Intellectual Property that is not material to the normal conduct of the business of the Pledgors taken as a whole) and not a Permitted Lien, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of such Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Pledgor fails to do so as required by the Indenture or this Agreement, and each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any reasonable and documented payment made or any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.3(d) shall be interpreted as excusing any Pledgor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Pledgor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance and preservation as set forth herein or in the other Notes Documents.

(e) Each Pledgor (rather than the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party) shall remain liable for the observance and performance of all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Article 9 Collateral and each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties from and against any and all liability for such performance.

(f) None of the Pledgors shall make or permit to be made an assignment, pledge or hypothecation of the Article 9 Collateral owned by it or in which it has an interest or shall grant any other Lien in respect of the Article 9 Collateral owned by it or in which it has an interest, except as not prohibited by the Indenture. None of the Pledgors shall make or permit to be made any transfer of the Article 9 Collateral owned by it or in which it has an interest, except transfers permitted by the Indenture.

(g) Each Pledgor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Pledgor’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, during the continuance of an Event of Default, of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of the Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Pledgor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto. In the event that any Pledgor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required by the Indenture or to pay any premium in whole or part relating thereto, the Collateral Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the Pledgors hereunder or any Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as the Collateral Agent reasonably deems advisable.

All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this Section 3.3(g), including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the Pledgors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Obligations secured hereby.

(h) Each Pledgor shall furnish to the Collateral Agent promptly (and in any event within no more than 30 days of such change) written notice of any change in such Pledgor’s (1) legal name, (2) jurisdiction of organization or formation, (3) identity or corporate structure or (4) Organizational Identification Number. The Pledgors shall take all necessary action so that such lien is perfected with the same priority as immediately prior to such change to the extent required by the Indenture and/or the Collateral Documents. The Pledgors shall also promptly notify the Collateral Agent if any material portion of the Collateral is damaged, destroyed or condemned.(1)

3.4 Other Actions

In order to further ensure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, the Security Interest in the Article 9 Collateral, each Pledgor agrees, in each case at such Pledgor’s own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Article 9 Collateral:

(a) Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper. If any Pledgor shall at any time own or acquire any Instruments (other than debt obligations which constitute Pledged Debt and checks received and processed in the ordinary course of business) or Tangible Chattel Paper, in each case, evidencing an individual amount in excess of $2,500,000, such Pledgor shall promptly (and in any event within 60 days of its acquisition or such longer period as the Collateral Agent or the ABL Collateral Agent may permit under the ABL Credit Agreement in its sole discretion) endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as are necessary.

(b) Investment Property. If any security of a Subsidiary now owned or hereafter acquired by any Pledgor is uncertificated and is issued to such Pledgor or its nominee directly by such Subsidiary, such Pledgor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent of such uncertificated securities and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, promptly to either (i) cause such Subsidiary to agree to comply with instructions from the Collateral Agent as to such security, without further consent of any Pledgor or such nominee, or (ii) cause such Subsidiary to register the Collateral Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, as the registered owner of such security.

(1) Conformed to align with the First Amendment to the ABL.

(c) Electronic Chattel Paper. Such Pledgor shall create, store and otherwise maintain all records comprising electronic Chattel Paper in a manner such that: (i) a single authoritative copy of each such record exists which is unique, identifiable and, except as provided in clause (iv) below, unalterable, (ii) the authoritative copy of each such record shall identify the Collateral Agent as the assignee thereof, (iii) the authoritative copy of each such record is communicated to and maintained by the Collateral Agent or its designee, (iv) copies or revisions that add or change any assignees of such record can be made only with the participation of the Collateral Agent, (v) each copy (other than the authoritative copy) of such record is readily identifiable as a copy and (vi) any revision of the authoritative copy of such record is readily identifiable as an authorized or unauthorized revision.

(d) Commercial Tort Claims. In the event any commercial tort claim in excess of $2,500,000 arises or otherwise becomes known after the date hereof, the applicable Pledgor will deliver to the Collateral Agent a supplement to Schedule V hereto describing such claim and expressly subjecting such claim, all judgments and/or settlements with respect thereto and all Proceeds thereof to the Security Interests hereunder.

(e) Letter of Credit Rights. If any Letter-of-Credit Rights are hereafter acquired by any Pledgor, the applicable Pledgor will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent a fully executed consent in such other form as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent. Absent the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the provisions of this paragraph (e) shall not apply to (i) Letter of Credit Rights arising in respect of any individual letter of credit having a face or stated amount of less than $2,500,000 or (ii) letters of credit in respect of which a Pledgor, after diligently using commercially reasonable and good faith efforts, fails to obtain from the issuer of such letter of credit the consent contemplated by the preceding sentence.

3.5 Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral

(a) Each Pledgor agrees that it will not knowingly do any act or omit to do any act (and will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to prevent its licensees from doing any act or omitting to do any act) whereby any Patent that is material to the normal conduct of the business of the Pledgors taken as a whole may become prematurely invalidated, abandoned, lapsed or dedicated to the public.

(b) Each Pledgor will, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its licensees or its sublicensees to, for any Trademark material to the normal conduct of such the business of the Pledgors taken as a whole, (i) maintain such Trademark in full force free from any adjudication of abandonment or invalidity for non-use and (ii) maintain the quality of products and services offered under such Trademark in a manner consistent with the operation of such Pledgor’s business.

(c) For each work covered by any Copyright material to the normal conduct of the business of the Pledgors taken as a whole that it publishes, displays and distributes, such Pledgor will, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its licensees or its sublicensees to, use copyright notice as required under applicable copyright laws.

(d) Each Pledgor shall notify the Collateral Agent promptly if it knows that any Patent, Trademark or Copyright, in each case material to the normal conduct of the business of the Pledgors taken as a whole, may imminently become abandoned, lapsed or dedicated to the public, or of any materially adverse determination or development, excluding office actions and similar determinations or developments in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office, any court or any similar office of any country, regarding such Pledgor’s ownership of any such material Patent, Trademark or Copyright or its right to register or to maintain the same.

(e) Each Pledgor, either by itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, shall (i) inform the Collateral Agent on an annual basis of each application for, or registration or issuance of, any Patent or Trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and each registration of any Copyright with the United States Copyright Office or any comparable office or agency in any other country filed by or on behalf of, or issued to, or acquired by, any Pledgor during the preceding twelve-month period, in each case to the extent such application or registration relates to Intellectual Property (if any) material to the normal course of the business of the Pledgors taken as a whole business and (ii) execute and deliver any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as are necessary to evidence the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Patent, Trademark or Copyright and the perfection thereof.

(f) Each Pledgor shall exercise its reasonable business judgment consistent with its past practice in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office or any comparable office or agency in any other country with respect to maintaining and pursuing each application relating to any Patent, Trademark and/or Copyright (and obtaining the relevant grant or registration) material to the normal conduct of the business of the Pledgors taken as a whole and to maintain (i) each issued Patent that is material to the normal conduct of the business of the Pledgors taken as a whole and (ii) the registrations of each Trademark and each Copyright, in each case that is material to the normal conduct of the business of the Pledgors taken as a whole, including, when applicable and necessary in such Pledgor’s reasonable business judgment, timely filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance fees, and, if any Pledgor believes necessary in its reasonable business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings against third parties.

(g) In the event that any Pledgor knows or has reason to know that any Article 9 Collateral consisting of a Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the normal conduct of the business of the Pledgors taken as a whole has been materially infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Pledgor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent and shall, if such Pledgor deems it necessary in its reasonable business judgment, promptly sue and recover any and all damages, and take such other actions as are reasonably appropriate under the circumstances.

3.6 Covenants Regarding Deposit Accounts

(a) With respect to each Deposit Account, Securities Account or Commodity Account (other than any Excluded Account for so long as such account is an Excluded Account) maintained by a Pledgor (each, a “Collateral Deposit Account”) and established on or before the date that is sixty (60) days after the date hereof, each Pledgor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent, Deposit Account Control Agreements duly executed by such Pledgor and each financial institution holding such deposit account of such Pledgor, as set forth in this Agreement, promptly and, in any event, by no later than the date required under the security documents to the ABL Credit Agreement.

(b) With respect to each Collateral Deposit Account established after the date that is sixty (60) days following the date hereof, each Pledgor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent, Deposit Account Control Agreements duly executed by such Pledgor and each financial institution holding such deposit account of such Pledgor promptly and in any event, no later than the date that is thirty (30) days following the date that such account is established.

4. REMEDIES; APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS

4.1 Remedies Upon Default

(a) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Pledgor agrees to deliver on demand or make available each item of Collateral to the Collateral Agent at the address of the Collateral Agent specified under Section 12 of the Indenture or any place or places otherwise specified by the Collateral Agent, and it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right to take any of or all the following actions at the same or different times:

(i) those rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, the Indenture or any other Note Document (as applicable);

(ii) with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Article 9 Collateral by the

applicable Pledgors to the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) or to license or sublicense subject to any such licensee’s obligation to maintain the quality of the goods and/or services provided under any Trademark consistent with the quality of such goods and/or services provided by the Pledgors immediately prior to the Event of Default), whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or a nonexclusive basis, any such Article 9 Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing or trademark co-existence arrangements to the extent that waivers thereunder cannot be obtained with the use of commercially reasonable efforts, which each Pledgor hereby agrees to use);

(iii) with or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the Article 9 Collateral and without liability for trespass to the applicable Pledgor to enter any premises where the Article 9 Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Article 9 Collateral; and

(iv) generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law (including, without limitation, any law governing the exercise of a bank’s right of setoff or bankers’ lien) or in equity. The Collateral Agent agrees and covenants not to exercise any of the rights or remedies set forth in the preceding sentence unless and until the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 4.1(a) above, each Pledgor agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable Law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized in connection with any sale of a security (if it deems it advisable to do so) pursuant to the foregoing to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who represent and agree that they are purchasing such security for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof. Upon consummation of any such sale or other disposition of Collateral pursuant to this Section 4.1, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing or trademark co-existence arrangements to the extent that waivers thereunder cannot be obtained with the use of commercially reasonable efforts, which each Pledgor hereby agrees to use). Each such purchaser at any such sale or other disposition shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives and releases (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal

that such Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Pledgors 10 Business Days’ written notice (which each Pledgor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale, and each Pledgor agrees that the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC. At any such sale, the Collateral, or the portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In the case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in the event that any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in the case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon notice given in accordance with provisions above. Each Pledgor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with clause (b) above. Each Pledgor also acknowledges that any private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private.

(d) At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section 4.1, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase for cash, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Pledgor (all such rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain

and dispose of such property in accordance with Section 4.2 hereof without further accountability to any Pledgor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Pledgor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.1 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions. The Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral so sold at any public sale (or, if the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations, at any private sale).

4.2 Apportionment, Application, and Reversal of Payments

(a) The Collateral Agent shall promptly apply the proceeds, moneys or balances of any collection or sale of Collateral realized through the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies hereunder, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash at any time when remedies are being exercised hereunder, as provided in Section 6.10 of the Indenture.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement and the Indenture. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the purchase money by the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

(c) If, after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of any Obligations, the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible set off, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received

by the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party and the Company shall be liable to pay to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, and shall indemnify the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and hold the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties harmless for the amount of such payment or proceeds surrendered. The provisions of this Section 4.2(c) shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action that may have been taken by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds, and any such contrary action so taken shall be without prejudice to the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ rights under this Agreement and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment or application of proceeds having become final and irrevocable. The provisions of this Section 4.2(c) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

4.3 Securities Act, Etc.

In view of the position of the Pledgors in relation to the Pledged Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any similar federal statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the Federal Securities Laws) with respect to any sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral permitted hereunder. Each Pledgor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Collateral Agent if the Collateral Agent were to attempt to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral could sell or otherwise dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Collateral Agent in any attempt to sell or otherwise dispose of all or part of the Pledged Collateral under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Collateral Agent in its sole and absolute discretion, (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws or, to the extent applicable, Blue Sky or other state securities laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a price that the Collateral Agent in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section 4.3 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Collateral Agent sells.

4.4 Limitation on Duty of Collateral Agent in Respect of Collateral

Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, neither the Collateral Agent nor the Secured Parties shall have any duty to exercise any rights or take any steps to preserve the rights of any Pledgor in the Collateral in its or their possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party be liable to any Pledgor or any other Person for failure to meet any obligation imposed by Section 9-207 of the UCC or any successor provision. Each Pledgor agrees that the Collateral Agent shall at no time be required to, nor shall the Collateral Agent be liable to any Pledgor for any failure to, account separately to any Pledgor for amounts received or applied by the Collateral Agent from time to time in respect of the Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property, and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith.

5.1 Concerning the Collateral Agent

The provisions of the Indenture relating to the Collateral Agent, including, without limitation, the provisions relating to resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent and the protections, rights, indemnities (including Section 7.6 thereof), privileges and immunities of the Collateral Agent are incorporated herein by this reference, mutatis mutandis, and shall survive any termination of the Indenture or removal or resignation of the Collateral Agent or Trustee, if applicable. In furtherance and not in derogation of the protections, rights, indemnities, privileges and immunities of the Collateral Agent therein set forth:

The Collateral Agent is authorized to take all such actions as are provided to be taken by it as Collateral Agent hereunder and all other action reasonably incidental thereto. In connection with exercising any right or discretionary duty, act or right hereunder (including, without limitation, the exercise of any rights following the occurrence of an Event of Default), the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to request and rely upon the direction of the Holders of the Notes given in accordance with the Indenture. The Collateral Agent shall not have any liability for taking any action at such direction or for its failure to take any action pending the receipt of such direction in accordance with the Indenture.

Except as set forth in Section 4.4 of this Security Agreement, nothing in this Security Agreement shall be interpreted as giving the Collateral Agent responsibility for or any

duty concerning the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the liens granted hereunder or giving the Collateral Agent any obligation to take any action to procure or maintain such validity, perfection, priority or enforceability. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Agreement by any Pledgor. In no event shall the Collateral Agent be required to execute and deliver any landlord lien waiver, estoppel or collateral access letter, or any account control agreement or any instruction or direction letter delivered in connection with such document that the Collateral Agent determines adversely affects it or otherwise subjects it to personal liability, including without limitation agreements to indemnify any contractual counterparty.

5.2 Appointment of Co-Collateral Agent

At any time or times, in order to comply with any legal requirement in any jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent may in consultation with the Company and, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, with the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) appoint another bank or trust company or one or more other persons, either to act as co-agent or co-agents, jointly with the Collateral Agent, or to act as separate agent or agents on behalf of the Secured Parties with such power and authority as may be necessary for the effectual operation of the provisions hereof and may be specified in the instrument of appointment (which may, in the discretion of the Collateral Agent, include provisions for the protection of such co-agent or separate agent similar to the provisions of Section 5.1). Notwithstanding any such appointment but only to the extent not inconsistent with such legal requirements or, in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Agent, not unduly burdensome to it or any such co-agent, each Pledgor shall, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, be entitled to deal solely and directly with the Collateral Agent rather than any such co-agent in connection with the Collateral Agent’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

6. MISCELLANEOUS

6.1 Notices

All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 12.2 of the Indenture. All communications and notices hereunder to any Pledgor shall be given to it in care of the Company, with such notice to be given as provided in Section 12.2 of the Indenture.

6.2 Security Interest Absolute

To the extent permitted by law, all rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Security Interest in the Article 9 Collateral, the security interest in the Pledged Collateral and all obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Note Document, any other agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any

other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any Note Document or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Pledgor in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement (other than a defense of payment or performance of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made).

6.3 Limitation by Law

All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.

6.4 Binding Effect; Several Agreement

This Agreement shall become effective as to any party to this Agreement when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such party shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such party, the Collateral Agent and each of their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such party, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, except that no party shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as permitted by this Agreement or any other Note Document. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each party and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released in accordance with Section 6.9 or 6.14, as applicable.

6.5 Successors and Assigns

Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Pledgor or the Collateral Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective permitted successors and assigns; provided that no Pledgor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement except as permitted by Section 6.4.

6.6 Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification

(a) The parties hereto agree that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder by the Pledgors, and the Collateral Agent and its Related Parties shall be indemnified by the Pledgors, in each case of this clause (a), mutatis mutandis, as provided in Section 7.6 of the Indenture.

(b) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents. The provisions of this Section 6.6 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the resignation of the Collateral Agent, the termination of this Agreement or any other Note Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Note Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party.

6.7 Power of Attorney

Each Pledgor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as the attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, in each case upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to applicable Law, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and reasonable notice by the Collateral Agent to the Company of its intent to exercise such remedies, with full power of substitution either in the Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Pledgor, (a) to receive, endorse, assign or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to ask for, demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all moneys due or to become due under and by virtue of any Collateral; (d) to sign the name of any Pledgor on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Collateral; (e) to send verifications of Accounts to any Account Debtor; (f) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise, realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (g) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (h) to notify, or to require any Pledgor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Collateral Agent; (i) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral; and (j) to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral

for all purposes; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.7 to the contrary, the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.7 unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own or their Related Parties’ gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment.

6.8 GOVERNING LAW

THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THIS AGREEMENT IS SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, AND, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 12.9 OF THE INDENTURE, NO OTHER PERSONS SHALL HAVE ANY RIGHT, BENEFIT, PRIORITY OR INTEREST UNDER, OR BECAUSE OF THE EXISTENCE OF, THIS AGREEMENT.

6.9 Waivers; Amendment

(a) No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or under any other Note Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or remedy, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The rights, powers and remedies of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Notes Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Pledgor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 6.9, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of

Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle any Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Pledgor or Pledgors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with the terms of Article IX of the Indenture. The Collateral Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate of an officer of the Company as to whether any waiver, amendment or modification contemplated by this Section 6.9(b) is permitted.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Collateral Agent may (in its sole discretion) grant extensions of time or waivers of the requirement for the creation or perfection of security interests in or the obtaining of insurance (including title insurance) or surveys with respect to particular assets (including extensions beyond the date hereof for the perfection of security interests in the assets of the Pledgors on such date) where it reasonably determines, in consultation with the Company, that perfection or obtaining of such items cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required by this Agreement or the other Notes Documents.

6.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

(a) EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY:

(i) SUBMITS FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF, TO THE EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, THE COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF;

(ii) CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS, AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

(iii) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO SUCH PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 12.2 OF THE INDENTURE OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH THE COLLATERAL AGENT SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED PURSUANT THERETO; AND

(iv) AGREES THAT NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

(b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

6.11 Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (i) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) the parties hereto shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

6.12 Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 6.4 hereof.

6.13 Headings

Article and Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

6.14 Termination or Release

(a) This Agreement and the pledges made by the Pledgors herein and all other security interests granted by the Pledgors hereby shall automatically terminate and be released upon the occurrence of Payment in Full.

(b) In addition, at any time and from time to time prior to such termination of the Security Interests, (x) the Collateral Agent shall release any of the Collateral if it is sold or otherwise disposed of or liquidated in compliance with the requirements of Section 4.10 of the Indenture and the proceeds of such sale, disposition or liquidation are applied in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture or (y) the Collateral Agent may release any of the Collateral subject to Section 10.6 of the Indenture. Upon any release of Collateral pursuant to this Section 6.14, none of the Secured Parties shall have any continuing right or interest in such Collateral or the Proceeds thereof.

(c) The security interest in any portion of the Collateral shall be automatically released upon such portion of the Collateral becoming an Excluded Asset (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Pledgor upon its reasonable request without any further inquiry).

(d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 6.14, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any Pledgor at such Pledgor’s expense all documents that such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release (including Uniform Commercial Code termination statements), and will duly assign and transfer to such Pledgor at such Pledgor’s expense, any of such Collateral that is in the possession of the Collateral Agent and has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this Agreement; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable opinion, would expose the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such termination or release without representation or warranty. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 6.14 shall be made without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent. Upon fifteen (15) Business Days’ prior written notice from the Company to the Collateral Agent, and absent any written objection thereto from the Collateral Agent to the Company (which written objection shall describe in reasonable detail the basis therefore) on or prior to such fifteenth Business Day, in connection with any release pursuant to this Section 6.14, the applicable Pledgor shall be permitted to take any action in connection therewith consistent with such release including, without limitation, the filing of Uniform Commercial Code

termination statements with respect to the released portion of the Collateral. Upon the receipt of any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release prepared by the Company, the Collateral Agent shall execute, deliver or acknowledge such instruments or releases to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Agreement; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute, deliver or acknowledge any such document on terms which, in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable opinion, would expose the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such termination or release without representation or warranty; and provided, further, that any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those being released) upon (or obligations (other than those being released) of the Pledgors in respect of) all interests retained by the Pledgors, including the proceeds of any sale, transfer or other disposition, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral except to the extent otherwise released in accordance with the provisions of the Notes Documents. The Pledgors agree to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent (and its representatives and counsel) in connection with the execution and delivery of such release documents or instruments.

6.15 Additional Subsidiaries

Upon execution and delivery by any Subsidiary that is required or permitted to become a party hereto by Section 4.15 of the Indenture of a supplemental indenture thereto and a New Pledgor Accession Agreement to this Security Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit [·], such Subsidiary shall become a Pledgor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Pledgor herein. The execution and delivery of such New Pledgor Accession Agreement shall not require the consent of any other party to this Agreement. The rights and obligations of each party to this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new party to this Agreement.

6.16 General Authority of the Collateral Agent

(a) By acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and any other Collateral Documents, each Secured Party (whether or not a signatory hereto) shall be deemed irrevocably (i) to consent to the appointment of the Collateral Agent as its agent hereunder and under such other Collateral Documents, (ii) to confirm that the Collateral Agent shall have the authority to act as the exclusive agent of such Secured Party for the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement and such other Collateral Documents against any Pledgor, the exercise of remedies hereunder or thereunder and the giving or withholding of any consent or approval hereunder thereunder relating to any Collateral or any Pledgor’s obligations with respect thereto, (iii) to agree that it shall not take any action to enforce any provisions of this Agreement or any other Collateral Document against any Pledgor, to exercise any remedy hereunder or thereunder or to give any consents or approvals hereunder or thereunder except as expressly provided in this

Agreement or any other Collateral Document and (iv) to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and any other Collateral Documents.

(b) Each Pledgor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by Section 7.2 (h) and Article 10 of the Indenture and such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Pledgors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the applicable Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Pledgor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

(c) It is expressly understood and agreed that the obligations of the Collateral Agent as holder of the Collateral and interests therein and with respect to the disposition thereof, and otherwise under this Agreement, are only those expressly set forth in this Agreement and Article 10 of the Indenture. The Collateral Agent shall act hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in Section 7.2(h) and Article 10 of the Indenture.

6.17 Person Serving as Collateral Agent

On the date hereof, the Collateral Agent hereunder is the same legal entity as the Trustee under the Indenture. Written notice of resignation by the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.2 of the Indenture shall also constitute notice of resignation as the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, unless the Collateral Agent shall otherwise agree by notice to the Company (and if so agreed and notified by the Collateral Agent, provided that the Company does not object) in accordance with Section 12.2 of the Indenture.

6.18 Survival of Agreement

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Pledgors in the Notes Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Note Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Notes Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit under the Notes Documents, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Secured Party or any other person and notwithstanding that any Secured Party or any other person may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any Notes Document is executed and delivered or any credit is extended under the Indenture, and shall continue in full force and effect until Payment In Full.

6.19 Intercreditor Agreement

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the liens and security interests securing the Obligations hereunder and the exercise of any right or remedy with respect thereto are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.

6.20 Reinstatement

Each Pledgor hereby confirms that all Collateral encumbered by this Pledge and Security Agreement will continue to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of all the Obligations and remain in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of this Agreement should any petition be filed by or against any Pledgor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Pledgor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Pledgor’s assets, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof (including a payment effected through exercise of a right of set-off), is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by a Secured Party in its discretion), all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof (including a payment effected through exercise of a right of set-off), is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

6.21 Conflicts

In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall control.

WHEREAS, in connection with the Indenture, the Grantors have entered into the Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of November [·], 2018 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”) in order to induce the Secured Parties to purchase or otherwise acquire the Notes, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; and

WHEREAS, under the terms of the Security Agreement, the Grantors have granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, among other property, certain intellectual property of the Grantors, and have agreed as a condition thereof to execute this Patent Security Agreement for recording with the United States Patent and Patent Office.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Grantor agrees as follows:

SECTION 1. Grant of Security. Each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a security interest in all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the following (the “Collateral”): each Grantor’s registered Patents and Patents for which applications are pending in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, including those set forth in Schedule A hereto.

SECTION 2. Security for Obligations. The grant of a security interest in the Collateral by each Grantor under this Patent Security Agreement secures the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), in full, of its Obligations.

SECTION 3. Recordation. This Patent Security Agreement has been executed and delivered by the Grantors for the purpose of recording the grant of security interest herein with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Each Grantor authorizes and requests that the Commissioner for Patents record this Patent Security Agreement.

Each Grantor does hereby acknowledge and confirm that the grant of the security interest hereunder to, and the rights and remedies of, the Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral are more fully set forth in the Security Agreement, the terms and provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein.

The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 8. Concerning the Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent is executing this Patent Security Agreement solely in its capacity as Collateral Agent under the Security Agreement. Collateral Agent shall enjoy all the same rights, protections, immunities and indemnities granted to it under the Indenture or the Security Agreement as though set forth in full herein.

(a) any Senior Lien in respect of such Collateral, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be and shall remain senior and prior to any Junior Lien in respect of such Collateral (whether or not such Senior Lien is subordinated to any Lien securing any other obligation); and

(b) any Junior Lien in respect of such Collateral, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to any Senior Lien in respect of such Collateral.

2.2 Prohibition on Contesting Liens. In respect of any Collateral, the Junior Representative, on behalf of each Junior Secured Party, in respect of such Collateral agrees that it shall not, and hereby waives any right to:

(a) contest, or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency Proceeding), the priority, validity or enforceability of any Senior Lien on such Collateral; or

(b) demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or claim the benefit of any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or similar right which it may have in respect of such Collateral or the Senior Liens on such Collateral, except to the extent that such rights are expressly granted in this Agreement.

2.3 Nature of Obligations. The Notes Representative on behalf of itself and the other Notes Secured Parties acknowledges that a portion of the ABL Obligations represents debt that is revolving in nature and that the amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased, reduced or repaid and subsequently reborrowed, and that the terms of the ABL Obligations or any ABL Agreement may be waived, modified, extended, amended, restated or supplemented in accordance with the terms thereof from time to time, and that the aggregate amount of the ABL Obligations may be increased, replaced or refinanced, in each event, without notice to or consent by the Notes Secured Parties and without affecting the provisions hereof. The ABL Representative on behalf of

itself and the other ABL Secured Parties acknowledges that Notes Obligations may be replaced or refinanced and the amount of any Note Obligations may be increased, reduced or repaid, and any Note Document or any provision thereof may be waived, modified, extended, amended, restated or supplemented in accordance with the terms thereof from time to time, and the aggregate amount of the Note Obligations may be increased, replaced ore refinanced, in each event, without notice to or consent by the ABL Secured Parties and without affecting the provisions hereof. The Lien Priorities provided in Section 2.1 shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any such amendment, modification, supplement, extension, repayment, reborrowing, increase, replacement, renewal, restatement or refinancing of either the ABL Obligations or the Notes Obligations, or any portion thereof. The provisions of this Section 2.3 are not intended to constitute a waiver of any restrictions (i) contained in the ABL Agreement applicable to the amount or terms of the Notes Obligations or (ii) contained in the Notes Agreement applicable to the amount or terms of the ABL Obligations.

2.4 No New Liens. (a) Until the ABL Obligations Payment Date, no Notes Secured Party shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Loan Party securing any Notes Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of the ABL Representative under the ABL Documents, subject to the Lien Priority set forth herein (it being understood that, following the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Notes Agreement, the Notes Secured Parties may elect to take a security interest in real property). If any Notes Secured Party shall (nonetheless and in breach hereof) acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Loan Party securing any Notes Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of the ABL Representative under the ABL Documents, subject to the Lien Priority set forth herein, then the Notes Representative (or the relevant Notes Secured Party) shall, without the need for any further consent of any other Notes Secured Party and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Notes Document be deemed to also hold and have held such lien for the benefit of the ABL Representative as security for the ABL Obligations (subject to the Lien Priority and other terms hereof) and shall promptly notify the ABL Representative in writing of the existence of such Lien.

(b) Until the Notes Obligations Payment Date, no ABL Secured Party shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Loan Party securing any ABL Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of the Notes Representative under the Notes Documents, subject to the Lien Priority set forth herein (it being understood that, following the occurrence of an Event of Default under the ABL Agreement, the ABL Secured Parties may elect to take a security interest in real property). If any ABL Secured Party shall (nonetheless and in breach hereof) acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Loan Party securing any ABL Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of the Notes Representative under the Notes Documents, subject to the Lien Priority set forth herein, then the ABL Representative (or the relevant ABL Secured Party) shall, without the need for any further consent of any other ABL Secured Party and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other ABL Document be deemed to also hold and have held such lien for the benefit of the Notes Representative as security for the Notes Obligations (subject to the Lien Priority and other terms hereof) and shall promptly notify the Notes Representative in writing of the existence of such Lien.

2.5 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the ABL Security Documents and the Notes Security Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Common Collateral, the Notes Obligations are fundamentally different from the ABL Obligations and should be separately classified in any plan of reorganization, plan of liquidation or similar plan proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that claims in respect of the ABL Obligations and the Notes Obligations constitute claims in the same class (rather than separate

classes of secured claims), then the ABL Secured Parties and the Notes Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of ABL Obligations claims and Notes Obligations claims against the Loan Parties (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the ABL Priority Collateral or Notes Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the other Secured Parties), the ABL Secured Parties or the Notes Secured Parties, respectively, shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of Post-Petition Interest that is available from each pool of Priority Collateral for each of the ABL Secured Parties and the Notes Secured Parties, respectively, before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the other Secured Parties, with the other Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the respective other Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries.

2.6 Agreements Regarding Actions to Perfect Liens. (a) The ABL Representative agrees on behalf of itself and the other ABL Secured Parties that all mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds and similar instruments (collectively, “mortgages”) now or thereafter filed against Real Property in favor of or for the benefit of the ABL Representative shall contain the following notation: “The lien created by this mortgage on the property described herein is junior and subordinate to the lien on such property created by any mortgage, deed of trust or similar instrument now or hereafter granted to Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Notes Representative, in accordance with the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement dated as of [·], 2018, as amended from time to time.”

(b) Each of the ABL Representative and the Notes Representative hereby acknowledges that, to the extent that it holds, or a third party holds on its behalf, physical possession of or “control” (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) over Common Collateral pursuant to the ABL Security Documents or the Notes Security Documents, as applicable, such possession or control is also for the benefit of the Notes Representative and the other Notes Secured Parties or the ABL Representative and the other ABL Secured Parties, as applicable, solely to the extent required to perfect their security interest in such Common Collateral; provided that control by the Notes Representative of the Prepayment Account shall not be for the benefit of the ABL Representative and the other ABL Secured Parties. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed to impose any duty on the ABL Representative or the Notes Representative (or any third party acting on either such Person’s behalf) with respect to such Common Collateral or provide the Notes Representative, any other Notes Secured Party, the ABL Representative or any other ABL Secured Party, as applicable, with any rights with respect to such Common Collateral beyond those specified in this Agreement, the ABL Security Documents and the Notes Security Documents, as applicable, provided that subsequent to the occurrence of the ABL Obligations Payment Date (so long as the Notes Obligations Payment Date shall not have occurred), the ABL Representative shall (i) deliver to the Notes Representative, at the Loan Parties’ sole cost and expense, the Common Collateral in its possession or control together with any necessary endorsements to the extent required by the Notes Documents or (ii) direct and deliver such Common Collateral as a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise directs; provided, further, that subsequent to the occurrence of the Notes Obligations Payment Date (so long as the ABL Obligations Payment Date shall not have occurred), the Notes Representative shall (i) deliver to the ABL Loan Representative, at the Loan Parties’ sole cost and expense, the Common Collateral in its possession or control together with any necessary endorsements to the extent required by the ABL Documents or (ii) direct and deliver such Common Collateral as a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise directs. The provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as between the ABL Secured Parties and the Notes Secured Parties and shall not impose on the ABL Secured Parties or the Notes Secured Parties any obligations in respect of the

disposition of any Common Collateral (or any proceeds thereof) that would conflict with prior perfected Liens or any claims thereon in favor of any other Person that is not a Secured Party.

SECTION 3. Enforcement Rights.

3.1 Exclusive Enforcement. Until the Senior Obligations Payment Date has occurred, whether or not an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Loan Party, the Senior Secured Parties shall have the exclusive right to take and continue any Enforcement Action (including the right to credit bid their debt) with respect to the Senior Collateral, without any consultation with or consent of any Junior Secured Party, but subject to the proviso set forth in Section 5.1. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a default or an event of default under the Senior Documents, the Senior Representative and the other Senior Secured Parties may take and continue any Enforcement Action with respect to the Senior Obligations and the Senior Collateral in such order and manner as they may determine in their sole discretion in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Senior Documents.

(ii) they will not contest, oppose, object to, interfere with, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings (including without limitation the filing of an Insolvency Proceeding) or otherwise, any foreclosure, sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Senior Collateral by any Senior Secured Party or any other Enforcement Action taken (or any forbearance from taking any Enforcement Action) in respect of the Senior Collateral by or on behalf of any Senior Secured Party;

(iii) they have no right to (x) direct either the Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party to exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to the Senior Collateral or pursuant to the Senior Security Documents in respect of the Senior Collateral or (y) consent or object to the exercise by the Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party of any right, remedy or power with respect to the Senior Collateral or pursuant to the Senior Security Documents with respect to the Senior Collateral or to the timing or manner in which any such right is exercised or not exercised (or, to the extent they may have any such right described in this clause (iii), whether as a junior lien creditor in respect of the Senior Collateral or otherwise, they hereby irrevocably waive such right);

(iv) they will not institute any suit or other proceeding or assert in any suit, Insolvency Proceeding or other proceeding any claim against any Senior Secured Party seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise, with respect to, and no Senior Secured Party shall be liable for, any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Senior Secured Party with respect to the Senior Collateral or pursuant to the Senior Documents in respect of the Senior Collateral;

(v) they will not commence judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of any Senior Collateral, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce their interest in or realize upon, the Senior Collateral; and

(vi) they will not seek, and hereby waive any right, to have the Senior Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of the Senior Collateral;

3.3 Judgment Creditors. In the event that any Notes Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Common Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor, such judgment lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the ABL Liens and the ABL Obligations) to the same extent as all other Liens securing the Notes Obligations are subject to the terms of this Agreement. In the event that any ABL Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Common Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor, such judgment lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the Notes Liens and the Notes Obligations) to the same extent as all other Liens securing the ABL Obligations are subject to the terms of this Agreement.

3.4 Cooperation; Sharing of Information and Access.

(b) In the event that the ABL Representative shall, in the exercise of its rights under the ABL Security Documents or otherwise, receive possession or control of any books and Records of any Loan

Party which contain information identifying or pertaining to the Notes Priority Collateral, the ABL Representative shall promptly notify the Notes Representative of such fact and, upon request from the Notes Representative and as promptly as practicable thereafter, either make available to the Notes Representative such books and Records for inspection and duplication or provide to the Notes Representative copies thereof. In the event that the Notes Representative shall, in the exercise of its rights under the Notes Security Documents or otherwise, receive possession or control of any books and records of any Loan Party which contain information identifying or pertaining to any of the ABL Priority Collateral, the Notes Representative shall promptly notify the ABL Representative Agent of such fact and, upon request from the ABL Representative and as promptly as practicable thereafter, either make available to the ABL Representative such books and records for inspection and duplication or provide the ABL Representative copies thereof.

(c) If the Notes Representative, or any agent or representative of the Notes Representative, or any receiver, shall, after the commencement of any Enforcement Action, obtain possession or physical control of any of the Notes Priority Collateral, the Notes Representative shall promptly notify the ABL Representative in writing of that fact, and the ABL Representative shall, within ten Business Days thereafter, notify the Notes Representative in writing as to whether the ABL Representative desires to exercise access rights under this Agreement. In addition, if the ABL Representative, or any agent or representative of the ABL Representative, or any receiver, shall obtain possession or physical control of any of the Notes Priority Collateral in connection with an Enforcement Action, then the ABL Representative shall promptly notify the Notes Representative that the ABL Representative is exercising its access rights under this Agreement and its rights under Section 3.4 under either circumstance. Upon delivery of such notice by the ABL Representative to the Notes Representative, the ABL Representative and the Notes Representative shall confer in good faith to coordinate with respect to the ABL Representative’s exercise of such access rights, with such access rights to apply to any parcel or item of Notes Priority Collateral access to which is reasonably necessary to enable the ABL Representative during normal business hours to convert ABL Priority Collateral consisting of raw materials and work-in-process into saleable finished goods and/or to transport such ABL Priority Collateral to a point where such conversion can occur, to otherwise prepare ABL Priority Collateral for sale and/or to arrange or effect the sale of ABL Priority Collateral, all in accordance with the manner in which such matters are completed in the ordinary course of business. Consistent with the definition of “Access Period,” access rights will apply to differing parcels or items of Notes Priority Collateral at differing times, in which case, a differing Access Period will apply to each such parcel or items. During any pertinent Access Period, (i) the ABL Representative and its agents, representatives and designees shall have an irrevocable, non-exclusive right to have access to, and a rent-free right to use, the relevant parcel or item the Notes Priority Collateral for the purposes described above and (ii) the ABL Representative shall be obligated hereunder to reimburse the Notes Representative for all operating costs of such Notes Priority Collateral incurred after the commencement of the relevant Access Period (it being understood that operating costs shall not

include insurance) to the extent (x) incurred as a result of the exercise by the ABL Representative of its access rights and (y) actually paid by the Notes Representative or the Notes Secured Parties. The ABL Representative shall take proper and reasonable care under the circumstances of any Notes Priority Collateral that is used by the ABL Representative during the Access Period and repair and replace any damage (ordinary wear-and-tear excepted) caused by the ABL Representative or its agents, representatives or designees, and leave the Notes Collateral in substantially the same condition as it was at the commencement of the occupancy, use or control by the ABL Representative or its agents, representatives or designees (ordinary wear-and-tear excepted), and the ABL Representative shall comply with all applicable laws in all material respects in connection with its use or occupancy or possession of the ABL Priority Collateral. The ABL Representative shall indemnify and hold harmless the Notes Representative and the Notes Creditors for any injury or damage to Persons or property (ordinary wear-and-tear excepted) and for any losses, claims, liabilities or expenses directly resulting from the occupancy, use or control by the ABL Representatives or its agents, representatives or designees or by the acts or omissions of Persons under its control; provided, however, that the ABL Representative and the ABL Creditors will not be liable for any diminution in the value of Notes Priority Collateral caused by the absence of the ABL Priority Collateral therefrom. The ABL Representative and the Notes Representative shall cooperate and use reasonable efforts to ensure that their activities during the Access Period as described above do not interfere materially with the activities of the other as described above, including the right of Notes Representative to show the Notes Priority Collateral to prospective purchasers and to ready the Notes Priority Collateral for sale. Consistent with the definition of the term “Access Period,” if any order or injunction is issued or stay is granted or is otherwise effective by operation of law that prohibits the ABL Representative from exercising any of its rights hereunder, then the Access Period granted to the ABL Representative under this Section 3.4 shall be stayed during the period of such prohibition and shall continue thereafter for the number of days remaining as required under this Section 3.4. The Notes Representative shall not foreclose or otherwise sell, remove or dispose of any of the Notes Priority Collateral during the Access Period with respect to such Notes Priority Collateral if the ABL Representative (acting in good faith) informs the Notes Representative in writing that such Notes Priority Collateral is reasonably necessary to enable the ABL Representative to convert, transport or arrange to sell the ABL Priority Collateral as described above; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall restrict the Notes Representative from foreclosing or otherwise selling, removing, transferring or disposing of any Notes Priority Collateral prior to the expiration of the Access Period if the purchaser, assignee or transferee agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 3.4(c) in writing (for the benefit of the ABL Representative and the ABL Secured Parties).

3.5 No Additional Rights For the Loan Parties Hereunder. Except as provided in Section 3.6 hereof, if any ABL Secured Party or Notes Secured Party shall enforce its rights or remedies in violation of the terms of this Agreement, no Loan Party shall be entitled to use such violation as a defense to any action by any ABL Secured Party or Notes Secured Party, nor to assert such violation as a counterclaim or basis for set off or recoupment against any ABL Secured Party or Notes Secured Party.

3.6 Actions Upon Breach. (a) If any ABL Secured Party or Notes Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, commences or participates in any action or proceeding against any Loan Party or the Common Collateral, such Loan Party, with the prior written consent of the ABL Representative or the Notes Representative, as applicable, may interpose as a defense or dilatory plea the making of this Agreement, and any ABL Secured Party or Notes Secured Party, as applicable, may intervene and interpose such defense or plea in its or their name or in the name of such Loan Party.

(b) Should any ABL Secured Party or Notes Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take, attempt to or threaten to take any action with respect to the Common Collateral (including,

without limitation, any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement), or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, any ABL Secured Party or Notes Secured Party (in its own name or in the name of the relevant Loan Party), as applicable, or the relevant Loan Party, may obtain relief against such ABL Secured Party or Notes Secured Party, as applicable, by injunction, specific performance and/or other appropriate equitable relief, it being understood and agreed by each of the ABL Representative on behalf of each ABL Secured Party and the Notes Representative on behalf of each Notes Secured Party that (i) the ABL Secured Parties’ or Notes Secured Parties’, as applicable, damages from its actions may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and (ii) each Notes Secured Party or ABL Secured Party, as applicable, waives any defense that the Loan Parties and/or the Notes Secured Parties and/or ABL Secured Parties, as applicable, cannot demonstrate damage and/or be made whole by the awarding of damages.

SECTION 4. Application of Proceeds of Senior Collateral; Dispositions and Releases of Lien; Notices and Insurance.

4.1 Application of Proceeds.

(a) Application of Proceeds of Senior Collateral.

5.5 Avoidance Issues. If any Senior Secured Party is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Loan Party, because such amount was avoided or ordered to be paid or disgorged for any reason, including without limitation because it was found to be a fraudulent or preferential transfer, any amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of set-off or otherwise, then the Senior Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the Senior Obligations Payment Date shall be deemed not to have occurred. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto. The Junior Secured Parties agree that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or

The Notes Representative, for and on behalf of itself and the Notes Secured Parties, agrees that no payment to the ABL Representative or any ABL Secured Party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle the Notes Representative or any Notes Secured Party to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until the ABL Obligations Payment Date. Following the ABL Obligations Payment Date, the ABL Representative agrees to execute such documents, agreements, and instruments as the Notes Representative or any Notes Secured Party may reasonably request to evidence the transfer by subrogation to any such Person of an interest in the ABL Obligations resulting from payments to the ABL Representative by such Person, so long as all costs and expenses (including all reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in connection therewith by the ABL Representative are paid by the Loan Parties upon request for payment thereof. The ABL Representative, for and on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that no payment to the Notes Representative or any Notes Secured Party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle the ABL Representative or any ABL Secured Party to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until the Notes Obligations Payment Date. Following the Notes Obligations Payment Date, the Notes Representative agrees to execute such documents, agreements, and instruments as the ABL Representative or any ABL Secured Party may reasonably request to evidence the transfer by subrogation to any such Person of an interest in the Notes Obligations resulting from payments to the Notes Representative by such Person, so long as all costs and expenses (including all reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in connection therewith by the Notes Representative are paid by the Loan Parties upon request for payment thereof.

10.2 Further Assurances. Each of the Notes Representative and the ABL Representative will, at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the other party may reasonably request, in order to protect any right or interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the ABL Representative or the Notes Representative to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder; provided, however, that no party shall be required to pay over any payment or distribution, execute any instruments or documents, or take any other action referred to in this Section 10.2, to the extent that such action would contravene any law, order or other legal requirement or any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, and in the event of a controversy or dispute, such party may interplead any payment or distribution in any court of competent jurisdiction, without further responsibility in respect of such payment or distribution under this Section 10.2.

10.3 Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any ABL Document or any Notes Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

(b) Upon receipt of a notice from the Loan Parties stating that the Loan Parties (or any of them) have entered into a Replacement Notes Agreement (which notice shall include the identity of the new Notes Representative, if applicable), the ABL Representative shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days of the applicable request, unless otherwise agreed by the Notes Representative or the new Notes Representative, as applicable) (i) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Loan Parties or the new Notes Representative shall reasonably request in order to provide to the new Notes Representative or the applicable new Notes Secured Parties the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) deliver to the new Notes Representative any Notes Priority Collateral held by it, together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the new Notes Representative to obtain control of such Notes Priority Collateral), and (iii) take such other actions as the Loan Parties or the new Notes Representative may reasonably request to provide the new Notes Representative or the applicable Notes Secured Parties the benefits of this Agreement.

(c) In executing, or permitting any amendments, modifications or supplements, the ABL Representative and the Notes Representative shall each be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that the execution of such amendment, modification or supplement is authorized or permitted by the terms of this Agreement; it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no further inquiry shall be required of the ABL Representative and the Notes Representative as to whether such amendment, modification or supplement is authorized or permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

(e) The Notes Documents may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms and the Notes Obligations may be refinanced in accordance with the terms of the Notes Documents, in each case without notice to, or the consent of, ABL Representative (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the refinancing transaction under any Notes Document), all without affecting the lien subordination or other provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that, in the case of a refinancing secured by the Common Collateral, the holders of such refinancing debt (or an authorized representative or their behalf) bind themselves to the terms of this Agreement pursuant to a written agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to ABL Representative.

The Notes Representative and the ABL Representative hereby agree that no party shall have any duty to advise any other party of information known to it regarding the financial condition of the Loan Parties or any such circumstances (except as otherwise provided in the ABL Documents and Notes Documents). In the event the Notes Representative or the ABL Representative, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any information to any other party to this Agreement, it shall be under no obligation (a) to provide any such information to such other party or any other party on any subsequent

occasion, (b) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, or (c) to disclose any other information.

Each such party agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the any ABL Secured Party or Notes Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each ABL Secured Party, each Notes Secured Party and each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so (i) any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section and (ii) the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding.

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.9. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
