Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

Senior Secured Notes Offering

On November 20, 2024, Icahn Enterprises L.P. (“Icahn Enterprises”) and Icahn Enterprises Finance Corp. (“Icahn Enterprises Finance” and, together with Icahn Enterprises, the “Issuers”) closed their previously announced sale of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of new 10.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) pursuant to the purchase agreement, dated November 13, 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Issuers, Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P., as guarantor (the “Guarantor”), and Jefferies LLC, as initial purchaser (the “Initial Purchaser”). The Notes were priced at 100.000% of their face amount. The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes were approximately $495 million after deducting the Initial Purchaser’s discounts and commissions and estimated fees and expenses related to the offering, and will be used to partially redeem the Issuers’ existing 6.250% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) on December 16, 2024. The Notes will be secured by substantially all the assets directly owned by the Issuers and the Guarantor, subject to customary exceptions. Concurrently with the consummation of the Notes Offering, the Issuers granted a lien in favor of the holders of the Issuers’ 2026 Notes, 5.250% Senior Notes due 2027, 4.375% Senior Notes due 2029, 9.750% Senior Notes due 2029 and 9.000% Senior Notes due 2030 (collectively, the “Existing Notes”) such that the Existing Notes are secured equally and ratably with the Notes upon the issuance thereof.

Interest on the Notes will be payable on November 15 and May 15 of each year, commencing on May 15, 2025. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties and indemnification and contribution provisions whereby the Issuers and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on the other, have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities.

The Issuers issued the Notes under the indenture, dated November 20, 2024 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuers, the Guarantor, as guarantor, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and notes collateral agent. The Indenture contains customary events of default and covenants relating to, among other things, the incurrence of debt, affiliate transactions, liens and restricted payments. On or after May 15, 2029 (six months prior to the maturity date of the Notes), the Issuers may redeem all or a part of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. Prior to May 15, 2029 (six months prior to the maturity date of the Notes), the Issuers may redeem all or a part of the Notes by paying a “make-whole” premium. If the Issuers experience a change of control, the Issuers must offer to purchase for cash all or any part of each holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of purchase. 

A copy of the Indenture is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Form 8-K, and is incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing description of the Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture.

“144A Global Note” means a Global Note substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto bearing the Global Note Legend and the Private Placement Legend and deposited with or on behalf of, and registered in the name of, the Depositary or its nominee that will be issued in a denomination equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes sold in reliance on Rule 144A.

 

“Acquired Debt” means, with respect to any specified Person:

 

(1)            Indebtedness of any other Person existing at the time such other Person is merged with or into or became a Subsidiary of such specified Person, whether or not such Indebtedness is incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such other Person merging with or into, or becoming a Subsidiary of, such specified Person; and

 

(2)            Indebtedness secured by a Lien encumbering any asset acquired by such specified Person.

If any Additional Notes are not fungible with any other applicable series of Notes for United States federal income tax purposes or if the Company otherwise determines that any Additional Notes should be differentiated from such other series of Notes, such Additional Notes shall have a separate CUSIP number; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, such Additional Notes will still constitute a single series with all other Notes issued of the applicable series for all purposes.

(i)           General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

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

(2)            No service charge will be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 4.16 and 9.05 hereof).

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

(4)            All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will be the valid obligations of the Company, 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.

(5)           Neither the Registrar nor the Company will be required:

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

Registration of any transfer or exchange of any Note pursuant to clauses 2(C), (D) or (F) of the Private Placement Legend on any Note shall be subject to the Company’s and the Trustee’s right prior to registration of any such transfer or exchange to require the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel, certification or documentation satisfactory to them in addition to the requirements set forth in Section 2.06.

Section 2.07     Replacement Notes.

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

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

Section 2.08     Outstanding Notes.

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes 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 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 9.02 hereof.

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

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

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

Section 2.09     Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded.

34

Section 2.10     Temporary Notes.

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

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

Section 2.11     Cancellation.

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary practice (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Evidence of cancellation of all canceled Notes, or confirmation of the reduction in the aggregate principal amount outstanding represented by a Global Note, as applicable, will be delivered to the Company upon written request. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12     Defaulted Interest.

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

Any redemption may, at the Company’s option, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent. In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed.

(b)            The provisions of Section 4.08(a) will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):

(1)            the incurrence by Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor of Indebtedness represented by the Notes to be issued on the date of this Indenture;

(2)            the incurrence by Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance or replace Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was incurred under Section 4.08(a) or clauses (1), (2) or (9) of this Section 4.08(b) or any Existing Indebtedness;

(3)            the incurrence by Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor of intercompany Indebtedness between or among Icahn Enterprises and any of its Subsidiaries (including Icahn Enterprises Holdings) or the issuance of Disqualified Stock by any Guarantor to Icahn Enterprises;

(4)            the incurrence by Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor of Hedging Obligations that are incurred in the normal course of business;

42

(5)            the incurrence by Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor of Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds, so long as such Indebtedness is covered within five Business Days;

(6)            the incurrence by Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor of the Existing Indebtedness;

Neither Icahn Enterprises nor any Guarantor will incur any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the Note Guarantee, as applicable, on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness of Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor shall be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor for purposes of this paragraph solely by virtue of being unsecured or secured to a lesser extent or on a junior Lien basis.

To the extent Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor incurs any intercompany Indebtedness, (a) if Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness, such Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness of any Guarantor to or from Icahn Enterprises or another Guarantor) must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Notes and (b)(i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than Icahn Enterprises or a Subsidiary of Icahn Enterprises (including any Guarantor) and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either Icahn Enterprises or a Subsidiary of Icahn Enterprises (including any Guarantor) shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor, that is not intercompany Indebtedness; provided that in the case of clause (a), that no restriction on the payment of principal, interest or other obligations in connection with such intercompany Indebtedness shall be required by such subordinated terms except during the occurrence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.08, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (9) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.08(a), in each case, as of the date of incurrence thereof, Icahn Enterprises shall, in its sole discretion, classify (or later reclassify in whole or in part, in its sole discretion) such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 4.08 and such Indebtedness will be treated as having been incurred pursuant to such clauses or Section 4.08(a), as the case may be, designated by Icahn Enterprises.

The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, or the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.08. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.08, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that Icahn Enterprises or any Guarantor may incur pursuant to this Section 4.08 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

43

The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:

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

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

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

(A)            the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and

(B)            the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

Section 4.09          Transactions with Affiliates.

(a)            Icahn Enterprises will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries (including any Guarantor) to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, any Affiliate of Icahn Enterprises (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $15.0 million, unless:

(1)            the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to Icahn Enterprises or the relevant Subsidiary (including any Guarantor) than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by Icahn Enterprises or such Subsidiary (including any Guarantor) with an unrelated Person as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Icahn Enterprises; and

(2)            Icahn Enterprises delivers to the Trustee:

(b)            The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.09(a) hereof:

(1)            any employment agreement, employee benefit plan, officer or director indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement entered into by Icahn Enterprises or any of its Subsidiaries (including any Guarantor) in the ordinary course of business and payments pursuant thereto including payments or reimbursement of payments by Icahn Enterprises GP with respect to any such agreement, plan or arrangement entered into by Icahn Enterprises GP with respect to or for the benefit of officers or directors of Icahn Enterprises GP (other than any such agreements, plans or arrangements entered into by Icahn Enterprises or any of its Subsidiaries (including Icahn Enterprises Holdings) with the Principal (other than employee benefit plans and officer or director indemnification agreements generally applicable to officers and directors of Icahn Enterprises GP, Icahn Enterprises or its Subsidiaries (including Icahn Enterprises Holdings));

Section 6.02          Acceleration.

In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (9) or (10) of Section 6.01 hereof, with respect to the Company or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee (by written notice to the Company) or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Notes (by written notice to the Company and the Trustee) may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.

54

Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders of the Notes, rescind an acceleration and its consequences, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, interest on the Notes that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.

Section 6.03          Other Remedies.

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

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

Section 6.04          Waiver of Past Defaults.

Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all such Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase) or in respect of a covenant or provision which under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder affected by such modification or amendment; provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration, in accordance with Section 6.02. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05          Control by Majority.

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 and the Notes Collateral Agent or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or any Security Document or that the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent in personal liability, or for which the Holders have not offered and, if requested, provided to the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent.

Section 6.06          Limitation on Suits.

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

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

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

55

(3)            such Holder or Holders has offered and, if requested, provided to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

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

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

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

Section 6.07          Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

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

Section 6.08          Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including without limitation the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09          Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including without limitation any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the 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.

Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Security Agreement, if the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

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

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

Section 6.11          Undertaking for Costs.

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

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 a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

Section 7.06          [Reserved]

Section 7.07          Compensation and Indemnity.

(a)            The Company and each of the Guarantors will pay to the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent from time to time reasonable compensation as may be agreed by the Company and the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent from time to time in writing for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. Each of the Trustee’s and the Notes Collateral Agent’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company will reimburse the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include without limitation the reasonable compensation, disbursements, costs and expenses of the Trustee’s and the Notes Collateral Agent’s agents, consultants and counsel (including without limitation the costs and expenses of collection on the Notes and the Note Guarantees and the enforcement and administration of any right or remedy or observing any of its duties under this Indenture).

The Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent will notify the Company and the Guarantors promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent to so notify the Company and the Guarantors will not relieve the Company or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder.

The Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or the Security Documents by any Company or any Guarantor.

Section 7.13      Security Documents; Intercreditor Agreements.

By their acceptance of the Notes, the Holders hereby authorize and direct the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, as the case may be, to execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Security Documents in which the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, is named as a party, including any Security Documents executed after the Issuance Date. It is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that, in doing so, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent are (a) expressly authorized to make the representations attributed to Holders in any such agreements and (b) not responsible for the terms or contents of such agreements, or for the validity or enforceability thereof, or the sufficiency thereof for any purpose.

ARTICLE 8

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01      Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

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

Section 8.02      Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

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

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

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

(3)            the rights, powers, trusts, duties protections, indemnities and immunities of the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent hereunder and the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and

(4)            this Article 8.

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

Section 8.03      Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17 and 4.19 hereof, Section 5.01(a)(4) and Section 5.01(b)(4) hereof on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will 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 will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(6) hereof will not constitute Events of Default.

63

Section 8.04      Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

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

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

(2)            in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, which may be an opinion of in-house counsel to Icahn Enterprises or a Guarantor, containing customary assumptions and exceptions, confirming that:

(A)            the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or

(B)             since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law,

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(3)            in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, which may be an opinion of in-house counsel to Icahn Enterprises or a Guarantor, containing customary assumptions and exceptions, confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(4)            no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness), and the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;

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

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

(7)            the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with, and, if any Government Securities are deposited, a certificate or opinion of an accountant stating that the Government Securities (in combination with any cash) being deposited will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, interest due on the outstanding Notes on the stated maturity date or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

64

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

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

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

Subject to the Trustee’s rights under this Indenture, including but not limited to Sections 7.02(b) and 13.04, notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the written request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.06      Repayment to Company.

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

Section 8.07      Reinstatement.

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

ARTICLE 9

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01      Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and, if applicable, the Notes Collateral Agent may amend or supplement this Indenture, or the Notes or the Note Guarantees, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, without the consent of any Holder of Notes:

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

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

(3)            to provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders of the Notes and Note Guarantees by a successor to the Company or such Guarantor pursuant to Article 5 or Article 10 hereof;

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

(5)             [Reserved];

(6)            to conform the text of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees, the Security Documents or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Company’s Offering Memorandum, relating to the initial offering of the Notes, to the extent that such provision in that “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees, the Security Documents or the Notes, which intent may be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate to that effect;

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

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

(9)            or to add to the Collateral for the Notes.

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

Section 9.02      With Consent of Holders of Notes.

(a)            Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company, the Trustee and, if applicable, the Notes Collateral Agent, may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 4.13 hereof), the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) affected by such amendment or supplement voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes, the related Note Guarantees, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, such Notes). Section 2.08 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02.

66

Upon the request of the Company, and upon the filing with the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent of the documents described in Sections 7.02 and 9.06 hereof, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent will join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s and the Notes Collateral Agent's own rights, duties, protections, indemnities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.

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

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

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

(2)            reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or provide that any Note is redeemable at an earlier date or for a price less than provided in this Indenture;

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

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

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

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

(7)            release Icahn Enterprises Holdings or any other Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or

(9)            make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.

(c)           Notwithstanding this Section 9.02, without the consent of the Holders of at least 66⅔% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding no amendment or waiver may be adopted that effects

(1)            any change in any Security Document or the provisions in this Indenture dealing with Collateral with the effect of releasing the Liens on all or substantially all of the Collateral which secure the obligations of the Company and any Guarantor in respect with of the Notes,

(2)            any change in any Security Document or the provisions in this Indenture dealing with the application of any proceeds of the Collateral,

67

(3)            any change or alteration in the priority of the Liens securing the obligations of the Company and any Guarantor in respect with of the Notes in any material portion of the Collateral in any way adverse, taken as a whole, to the Holders, or

(4)            any change or modification in any Security Document or the provisions in this Indenture that would authorize the incurrence of additional Indebtedness that would be issued under the Notes Documents for the sole purpose of influencing voting thresholds without the consent of the Holders of at least 66⅔% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding,

other than, in each case, as provided under the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, if any.

Section 9.03      [Reserved]

Section 9.04      Revocation and Effect of Consents.

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

Section 9.05      Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

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

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

Section 9.06      Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent to Sign Amendments, etc.

Each of the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, will sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 unless such amendment, supplement or waiver adversely affects the rights, duties, protections, indemnities or immunities of the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable under this Indenture, in which case the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amendment, supplement or waiver. In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.04 hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, and the amendment, supplement or waiver has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and any Guarantor, and is enforceable against the Company and any Guarantor in accordance with its terms.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Holders under Section 9.01 or 9.02 to approve a particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

68

ARTICLE 10
NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 10.01      Guarantee.

(a)            Subject to this Article 10, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally guarantees, on a senior secured basis, to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:

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

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

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantor will pay the same immediately. The Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

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

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

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

(e)            The Guarantor agrees that the Guarantee shall be a general secured senior obligation of the Guarantor and will rank pari passu in right of payment to all unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Guarantor.

Section 10.02      Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

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

69

Section 10.03      Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.

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

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

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

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

Section 10.04      Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

(a)            Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05 hereof and subject to 10.04(b), no Guarantor may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless:

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

(2)            subject to Section 10.05 hereof, the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger unconditionally assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture and its Note Guarantee on the terms set forth herein or therein, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee.

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

Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and notwithstanding clause 2 above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes will prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

(b)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, any merger or consolidation of Icahn Enterprises Holdings (or an Affiliate referred to in clause (1) of the second paragraph of Section 5.01(b) or any Person that is the successor of Icahn Enterprises Holdings or any such successor ad infinitum) or any sale of all or substantially all of Icahn Enterprises Holdings’ assets (or of an Affiliate referred to in clause (1) of the second paragraph of Section 5.01(b) or any Person that is the successor of Icahn Enterprises Holdings or any such successor ad infinitum) shall be governed by Section 5.01(b) hereof and Section 10.04(a) shall not apply to any such transaction.

Section 10.05      Releases.

(a)            In the event of any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor, in each case to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transactions) the Company or another Guarantor, then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor) or the entity acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor) will be released and relieved of any obligations under the Note Guarantee; Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, will execute any documents reasonably required and requested in writing by the Company in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.

(b)            Upon Legal Defeasance in accordance with Article 8 hereof or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 11 hereof, each Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee.

Each Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 10.05 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, the Notes and for the other obligations of the Company and any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 10.

ARTICLE 11
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 11.01      Satisfaction and Discharge.

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

(1) either:

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

(b)            all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable by reason of the sending of a notice of redemption or otherwise, (2) will become due and payable within one year or (3) are to be called for redemption within 12 months under arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the reasonable expense of the Company, and in each case the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non- callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal and premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

71

(2)            no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit or will occur as a result of the deposit and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other material instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound;

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

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

In addition, the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied, and, if any Government Securities are deposited, a certificate or opinion of an accountant stating that the Government Securities (in combination with any cash) being deposited, will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal and premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest to the date of maturity or redemption, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Sections 11.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Section 11.02      Application of Trust Money.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

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

Each Holder, by accepting a Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Security Documents (including the provisions providing for the possession, use, release and foreclosure of Collateral) and the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, each as may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and this Indenture, and authorizes and directs the Notes Collateral Agent and the Trustee, as applicable, to enter into the Security Documents on the Issuance Date, and, at any time after the Issuance Date, if applicable, the Intercreditor Agreement and any joinders to the foregoing to which it is a party, at any time after the Issuance Date, if applicable, and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith.

(c)            The Company shall deliver to the Notes Collateral Agent copies of all documents required to be filed pursuant to the Security Documents, and will do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be reasonably required by the next sentence of this Section 12.01(c), to assure and confirm to the Notes Collateral Agent the security interest in the Collateral contemplated hereby, by the Security Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Notes secured hereby, according to the intent and purposes herein expressed. On or following the Issuance Date and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, the Company and the Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to execute, acknowledge, deliver, record or file or cause to be executed, acknowledged, delivered, recorded or filed, at its expense, any and all further documents, financing statements (including continuation statements and amendments to financing statements), agreements and instruments, make all filings (including filings of financing statements under the UCC and continuation statements and amendments to such financing statements that may be necessary to continue the effectiveness of such financing statements), and take all further action that may be required under applicable law in order to grant, preserve, maintain, protect and perfect (or continue the perfection of) the validity and priority of the Liens and security interests created or intended to be created by the Security Documents in the Collateral. Such security interest and Liens will be created under the Security Documents and other security agreements, mortgages and other instruments and documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall foreign-law governed security documents or perfection under foreign law be required. Further, (A) neither the Company nor any Guarantor will be required to take any action with respect to the perfection of security interests in (a) except as required pursuant to Section 4.14 hereof, any asset specifically requiring perfection through a control agreement or other control arrangements other than in respect of certain pledged Equity Interests and investment property, in each case to the extent required by the Security Documents, (b) aircraft and vehicles and other assets subject to certificates of title, except, in each of the foregoing cases, to the extent a security interest therein can be perfected by filing a UCC financing statement (and, for the avoidance of doubt, neither the Company nor any Guarantor will be obligated to note any Lien on a certificate of title or similar document), (c) letter of credit rights to the extent that a security interest therein cannot be perfected as supporting obligations on the primary collateral by filing a UCC financing statement and (d) the Excluded Property, (B) neither the Company nor any Guarantor will be required to seek or obtain any landlord lien waiver, estoppel, warehousemen waiver or other collateral access or similar letter agreement, and (C) neither the Company nor any Guarantor will be required to take actions to perfect the security interests of the Notes Collateral Agent with respect to any Collateral for which security interests are perfected by a method other than the filing of a financing statement, except as may otherwise be required by the Security Documents.

(d)            Solely for purposes of directing the Notes Collateral Agent and without liability, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement are hereby ratified and approved by the Trustee on its own behalf and on behalf of the Holders in all respects and the Trustee on its own behalf and on behalf of the Holders directs the Notes Collateral Agent to bind itself to the terms thereof (if entered into) on behalf of the Holders.

73

Section 12.02      Release of Liens on Collateral.

(a)            Collateral may be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Security Documents at any time and from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and this Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and this Indenture, the Company and the Guarantors will be entitled to the release of property and other assets constituting Collateral from the Liens securing the Notes and the Note Guarantees; and such release shall occur automatically and without further action by the Notes Collateral Agent, the Trustee or the Holders, under any one or more of the following circumstances:

(3)            any property or assets constituting Collateral, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or the Security Documents; and

(4)            any property and assets of the Company or any Guarantor, that is or becomes Excluded Property pursuant to a transaction not prohibited under this Indenture.

(b)            The security interests in all Collateral securing the Notes will also be released automatically, without the need for any further action by any Person, upon (i) payment in full of all Notes Obligations that are due and payable at or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest and premium (if any), are paid (including pursuant to a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Section 11.01) or (ii) a legal defeasance or covenant defeasance under this Indenture pursuant to Section 8.02.

(c)            With respect to any release of Collateral, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, as applicable, to such release have been met and that it is permitted for the Trustee and/or Notes Collateral Agent to execute and deliver the documents requested by the Company in connection with such release and any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release prepared by the Company, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall, execute, deliver or acknowledge (at the Company’s expense) such instruments or releases to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture or the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and shall do or cause to be done (at the Company’s expense) all acts reasonably requested of them to evidence or acknowledge the release of such Lien as soon as is reasonably practicable. Neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent shall be liable for any such release undertaken in reliance upon any such Officers’ Certificate, and notwithstanding any term hereof or in any Security Document or in the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, to the contrary, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to release any such Lien and security interest, or execute and deliver any such instrument of release, satisfaction or termination, unless and until it receives such Officers’ Certificate, upon which it shall be entitled to conclusively rely.

Section 12.03      Suits to Protect the Collateral.

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

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

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

Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall have the power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent may determine to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of any of the Security Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent may determine to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral. Nothing in this Section 12.03 shall be considered to impose any such duty or obligation to act on the part of the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent.

74

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

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

Section 12.05      Purchaser Protected.

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

Section 12.06      Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Trustee.

In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article 12 upon a Company or a Guarantor with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Company or a Guarantor or of any Officer or Officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article 12; and if the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent shall be in the possession of the Collateral under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent.

Section 12.07      Notes Collateral Agent.

(a)            The Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby designates and appoints the Notes Collateral Agent as its agent under this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby irrevocably authorizes the Notes Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Notes Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and consents and agrees to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and each Security Document, as the same may be in effect or may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their respective terms. The Notes Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 12.07. The provisions of this Section 12.07 are solely for the benefit of the Notes Collateral Agent and none of the Trustee, any of the Holders nor the Company or any of the Guarantors shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Notes Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Notes Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be authorized and binding upon all Holders. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, the duties of the Notes Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, to which the Notes Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Notes Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder, the Company or any Guarantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or otherwise exist, against the Notes Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Notes Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

75

(b)            The Notes Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties under this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, by or through receivers, agents, employees, attorneys in fact or with respect to any specified Person, such Person’s Affiliates, and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and attorneys in fact of such Person and its Affiliates (a “Related Person”), and shall be entitled to advice of counsel of its selection concerning all matters pertaining to such duties, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in taking action in reliance upon any advice or opinion given by such counsel. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any receiver, agent, employee, attorney in fact or Related Person that it selects as long as such selection was made in good faith and without gross negligence.

(c)            None of the Notes Collateral Agent nor any of its respective Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision) or under or in connection with any Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Trustee or any Holder for any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company or any other Guarantor or Affiliate of any Guarantor, or any Officer or Related Person thereof, contained in this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Notes Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or for any failure of the Company, any Guarantor or any other party to this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. None of the Notes Collateral Agent nor any of its respective Related Persons shall be under any obligation to the Trustee or any Holder to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or to inspect the properties, books, or records of the Company, any Guarantor or any of their Affiliates.

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

(e)            The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Notes Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee or the Company referring to this Indenture, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default,” and such notice references the Notes, this Indenture and the Company. The Notes Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested in accordance with, and subject to the provisions of, Article 6 by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (subject to this Section 12.07).

76

(f)            The Notes Collateral Agent may resign at any time by 30 days’ written notice to the Trustee and the Company, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Notes Collateral Agent. If the Notes Collateral Agent resigns under this Indenture, the Company shall appoint a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the intended effective date of the resignation of the Notes Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Trustee, at the written direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may appoint a successor collateral agent, subject to the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required during a continuing Event of Default). If no successor collateral agent is appointed and consented to by the Company pursuant to the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the notice of resignation) the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor at the Company’s expense. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Notes Collateral Agent, and the term “Notes Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring Notes Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Notes Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Notes Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 12.07 (and Section 7.12) shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring Notes Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Notes Collateral Agent under this Indenture.

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

(h)            The Notes Collateral Agent and the Trustee is authorized and directed to (i) enter into the Security Documents to which it is party, whether executed on or after the Issuance Date, (ii) enter into the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, after the Issuance Date, (iii) make the representations of the Holders set forth in the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, (iv) bind the Holders on the terms as set forth in the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and (v) perform and observe its obligations under the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, if any.

(i)            If at any time or times the Trustee shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, set off or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations arising under, or relating to, this Indenture, except for any such proceeds or payments received by the Trustee from the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or (ii) payments from the Notes Collateral Agent in excess of the amount required to be paid to the Trustee pursuant to Article 6, the Trustee shall promptly turn the same over to the Notes Collateral Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Notes Collateral Agent such proceeds to be applied by the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, if any.

(j)            The Notes Collateral Agent is each Holder’s agent for the purpose of perfecting the Holders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC, can be perfected only by possession. Should the Trustee obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon written request from the Company, the Trustee shall notify the Notes Collateral Agent thereof and promptly shall, subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, deliver such Collateral to the Notes Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Notes Collateral Agent’s instructions.

77

(k)            The Notes Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Company, any Guarantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Notes 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 or the Company’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 Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture, any Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, other than pursuant to the instructions of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes or as otherwise provided in the Security Documents. Neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent shall have a duty or obligation to monitor the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company or any Guarantor.

(l)            No provision of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or any Security Document shall require the Notes Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Holders unless it shall have received indemnity and/or security satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Notes Collateral Agent relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or the Security Documents, in the event the Notes Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or take any such other action if the Notes Collateral Agent has determined that the Notes Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances. The Notes Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this Section 12.07(l) if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security and/or undertaking from the Company or the Holders to be sufficient.

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

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

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

78

(o)            Upon the receipt by the Notes Collateral Agent of a written request of the Company signed by two Officers (a “Security Document Order”) and together with the documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 9.06, the Notes Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and enter into, at the expense of the Company, and shall execute and enter into, without the further consent of any Holder or the Trustee, any Security Document or amendment or supplement thereto to be executed after the Issuance Date; provided that the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute or enter into any such Security Document which, in the Notes Collateral Agent’s reasonable opinion is reasonably likely to adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Notes Collateral Agent or that the Notes Collateral Agent determines is reasonably likely to involve the Notes Collateral Agent in personal liability. Such Security Document Order shall (i) state that it is being delivered to the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to, and is a Security Document Order referred to in, this Section 12.07(o), (ii) instruct the Notes Collateral Agent to execute and enter into such Collateral Document and (iii) certify that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of the Collateral Document have been satisfied. The Holders, by their acceptance of the Notes, hereby authorize and direct the Notes Collateral Agent to execute such Security Documents (subject to the first sentence of this Section 12.07(o)).

(p)            Subject to the provisions of the applicable Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, agrees that the Notes Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Security Documents to which it is a party and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto, and act in accordance with the terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Notes Collateral Agent shall have no discretion under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or the Security Documents and shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or direction without the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

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

(r)            The Notes Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders distributed under the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and to the extent not prohibited under the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, for turnover to the Trustee to make further distributions of such funds to itself, the Trustee and the Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.10 and the other provisions of this Indenture.

(s)            In each case that the Notes Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder or under any Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, to take any action (an “Action”), including without limitation to make any determination, to give consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act hereunder or under any Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, the Notes Collateral Agent may seek direction from the Trustee (acting at the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes). The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the direction from the Trustee (acting at the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes). If the Notes Collateral Agent shall request direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes with respect to any Action, the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless and until the Notes Collateral Agent shall have received direction from the Trustee, acting at the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

79

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

(u)            Before the Notes Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting in each case at the written request or direction of the Company or the Guarantors, other than as set forth in this Indenture, it may require an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to the provisions of this Section 12.07 and Section 13.04. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.

(v)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Notes Collateral Agent, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, shall act pursuant to the instructions of the Trustee (acting at the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes) solely with respect to the Security Documents and the Collateral.

(w)            The rights, privileges, benefits, immunities, reliances, indemnities and other protections given to the Trustee hereunder, including, without limitation, Section 7.07 are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Agents and the Notes Collateral Agent as if the Agents and the Notes Collateral Agent were named as the Trustee herein and the Security Documents were named as this Indenture herein.

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

(y)            Neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for the actions or omissions of any collateral agent or any other Representative (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) under the Intercreditor Agreement, nor shall the Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent be obligated at any time to indemnify any person in connection with the exercise of any remedy under the Security Documents.

(z)            In no event shall the Notes 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 Notes Collateral Agent determines adversely affects it or otherwise subjects it to personal liability, including without limitation agreements to indemnify any contractual counterparty; provided that nothing in this clause shall be implied as imposing any such obligation on the Company to obtain any such landlord lien waiver, estoppel or collateral access letter, or any account control agreement.

Icahn Enterprises L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Icahn Enterprises”) and Icahn Enterprises Finance Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Icahn Enterprises Finance”, together with Icahn Enterprises, the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 10.000% per annum from November 20, 2024 until maturity. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year (beginning on May 15, 2025), or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be May 15, 2025. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30- day months.

(2)            METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay or cause to pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the May 1 or November 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the registered Holders of which hold $2.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes and have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

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

The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

(7)            [Reserved.]

(8)            REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER. If there is a Change of Control, the Company will be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.

(9)            Notice of Redemption. At least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall send or cause to be sent by electronic transmission, in the case of Notes that are in the form of Global Notes, or by first class mail to each Holder who holds Definitive Notes at such Holder’s registered address, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are being redeemed, except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction or discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 11 thereof. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed or purchased. In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed.

(10)          Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Company may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

This Security and Control Agreement (this “Agreement”) dated as of [                    ], 20[__] among Icahn Enterprises L.P. (the “Grantor” or “Icahn Enterprises”), Wilmington Trust, National Association in its capacity as Notes Collateral Agent on behalf of the Holders (as defined in the Indenture) (the “Secured Party”) and [                       ] in its capacity as a “bank” as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC (in such capacity, the “Financial Institution”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned in the Indenture, dated as of November 20, 2024, between the Grantor, Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Icahn Enterprises Holdings”) and the Secured Party (the “Indenture”). All references herein to the “UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York.

WHEREAS, the Grantor, Icahn Enterprises Holdings and the Secured Party on behalf of the Noteholders have entered into the Indenture relating to the Grantor’s and Icahn Enterprises Finance Corp.’s, a Delaware corporation (“Finance Corp”, together with the Grantor, the “Issuers”), 10.000% senior secured notes due 2029;

WHEREAS, the Grantor and the Secured Party are entering into this Agreement to grant the Secured Party a security interest in the Pledged Account (as hereinafter defined) and the Collateral (as hereinafter defined);

WHEREAS, the parties hereto are entering into this Agreement to perfect and ensure the priority of such security interest;

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1.         Grant of Security.

(a)           The Grantor hereby assigns, grants, hypothecates and pledges to, and grants a lien on and a security interest in favor of the Secured Party, on behalf of the Noteholders, on all estate, right, title and interest of the Grantor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in the Pledged Account and in all cash and other assets or property held therein or credited thereto or received in connection therewith and all proceeds thereof, including all rights of the Grantor to receive moneys due in respect of such Pledged Account, and all claims with respect to such Pledged Account, all income or gain earned in respect of any assets held in or credited to such Pledged Account, and all proceeds receivable or received when any asset held in or credited to such Pledged Account is collected, exchanged or otherwise disposed of, whether voluntarily or involuntarily (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as the “Collateral”).

(b)           The Grantor agrees that from time to time it shall promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may be reasonably necessary, or that the Secured Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the assignment and security interest granted or intended to be granted hereby or to enable the Secured Party to exercise or enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to the Pledged Account and the Collateral.

(c) The Grantor represents and warrants that:

(i)             the Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Grantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms and conditions;

(ii)            it has not assigned any of its rights under the Pledged Account or the Collateral;

(iii)           it has not executed and is not aware of any effective financing statement, security agreement, control agreement or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the Pledged Account or the Collateral;

G-1

(iv)           it has full power and authority to grant a security interest in and assign its right, title and interest in the Pledged Account and the Collateral; and

(v)            upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Grantor, the security interest granted to the Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement in and to the Pledged Account and the Collateral will constitute, a first priority perfected security interest.

SECTION 2.          Establishment and Maintenance of Collateral Accounts.

(a)            The Financial Institution hereby represents and warrants that it has established and currently maintains the account listed on Schedule 1 hereto as a separate account segregated from all other custodial, collateral or other accounts, and that the Grantor is its sole customer with respect to such account (such account and any successor account being referred to herein as the “Pledged Account.”) The Financial Institution agrees to act as bank with respect to the Pledged Account and covenants and agrees that it shall not change the name or account number of the Pledged Account without the prior written consent of the Secured Party or, except in an Event of Default, the Grantor;

(b)            The Financial Institution represents and warrants that the Pledged Account is a “deposit account” (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC); and

(c)            Each of the Financial Institution and the Grantor represents, warrants and covenants that no investment property (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(49) of the UCC) shall be deposited or otherwise included in the Pledged Account and agrees no funds on deposit in the Pledged Account shall be invested in any investment property.

SECTION 3.          Secured Party’s Control of the Pledged Accounts. If at any time the Financial Institution shall receive any instruction (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC, i.e., an order directing the disposition of funds in a Pledged Account) originated by the Secured Party, the Financial Institution shall comply with such instruction without further consent by the Grantor or any other person.

SECTION 4.          Grantor’s Access to the Account.

(a)            It is understood and agreed that until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, the Financial Institution shall not comply with instructions of the Grantor or any person other than the Secured Party without the express consent of the Secured Party to each such instruction;

(b)            Except if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if at any Quarterly Determination Date the amount of Collateral exceeds the amount required to then be deposited in the Pledged Account pursuant to Section 4.14 of the Indenture, the Grantor may provide a Notice of Partial Release in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto requesting that the Secured Party instruct the Financial Institution to release such excess amount to the Grantor.

SECTION 5.          Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off. In the event that the Financial Institution has or subsequently obtains by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise a security interest in the Pledged Account or the Collateral, the Financial Institution hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Secured Party. The money and other items credited to the Pledged Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any person other than the Secured Party.

SECTION 6.          Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Pledged Account and the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the Indenture or otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all right and remedies of the Secured Party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Pledged Account or any Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Obligation then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, including, without limitation, applying any or all of the cash in the Pledged Account in full or partial satisfaction of the Obligations, or otherwise selling in one or more public or private sales or retaining in full or partial satisfaction of the Obligations any or all of the Collateral granted hereunder.

G-2

SECTION 7.          Choice of Law. This Agreement shall each be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, with respect to the Pledged Account, New York shall be deemed to be the bank’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the UCC). The Pledged Account shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 8.          Conflict with Other Agreements. The Financial Institution hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that:

(a)            There are no other agreements entered into between the Financial Institution and the Grantor (or any other person) with respect to the Pledged Account or the Collateral;

(b)            It has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with any person other than the Secured Party relating to the Pledged Account or the Collateral pursuant to which it agrees or has agreed to comply with instructions (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) of such other person;

(c)            It has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with the Grantor or the Secured Party purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Financial Institution to comply with instructions with respect to the Pledged Account or the Collateral; and

(d)            In the event of any conflict between this Agreement (or any portion thereof) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into with respect to the Pledged Account or the Collateral, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

SECTION 9.          Adverse Claims. The Financial Institution represents and warrants that except for the claims and interest of the Secured Party and of the Grantor in the Pledged Account and the Collateral, it does not know of any security interest in, lien on or claim to, or other interest in, the Pledged Account or the Collateral. If any person asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against the Pledged Account or the Collateral, the Financial Institution will promptly notify the Secured Party and the Grantor thereof.

SECTION 10.        Additional Provisions Regarding Maintenance of Accounts. The Financial Institution covenants and agrees:

(a)            Statements and Confirmations. The Financial Institution will promptly send copies of all statements, confirmations and other correspondence concerning the Pledged Account or the Collateral, simultaneously to each of the Grantor and the Secured Party at the address for each set forth in Section 14 of this Agreement.

(b)            Tax Reporting. All interest, if any, relating to the Pledged Account, shall be reported to the Internal Revenue Service and all state and local taxing authorities under the name and taxpayer identification number of the Grantor.

SECTION 11.        Additional Representation and Warranty of the Financial Institution. The Financial Institution represents and warrants that this Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Financial Institution, enforceable in accordance with its terms and conditions.

SECTION 12.        Indemnification of Financial Institution and Secured Party.

(a)            The Grantor hereby agrees that the Financial Institution shall be relieved from liabilities (i) arising from the error of judgment made in good faith by it, unless it is proved that the Financial Institution was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and (ii) with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

G-3

The Financial Institution (i) will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement; (ii) may act through its attorneys and agents and will not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any attorney or agent appointed with due care; (iii) may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person and it need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any such document; and (iv) may consult with counsel of its choice and the written advice of such counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

The Grantor will indemnify the Financial Institution and hold it harmless against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Agreement, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Agreement against the Grantor (including this Section 12) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Grantor or any other person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except any such loss, liability or expense attributable to its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Financial Institution will notify the Grantor promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Financial Institution to so notify the Grantor will not relieve the Grantor of its obligations hereunder. The Grantor will defend the claim and the Financial Institution will cooperate in the defense. The Financial Institution may have separate counsel and the Grantor will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Grantor need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

(b)           The Secured Party shall be entitled to all the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to it under the Indenture, including, without limitation, its right to be compensated, reimbursed and indemnified, which shall all be extended to and shall be enforceable by the Secured Party hereunder in connection with any actions taken or omissions made by the Secured Party with respect to its duties and obligations hereunder as if such rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits were explicitly granted hereunder.

(c) The obligations of the Grantor under this Section 12 will survive the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 13.       Successors; Assignment. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither the Grantor nor the Financial Institution may delegate their obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Secured Party. Additionally, in the event that the Secured Party is replaced as Trustee under the Indenture any entity that succeeds to such role shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement. The Secured Party agrees to send written notice to the Financial Institution of any such replacement.

(d)            Each of the Collateral Agents (other than the Initial Notes Collateral Agent) and the Representatives (other than the Initial Notes Representative) agrees that it will not accept any Lien on any Collateral for the benefit of any Series of Other Secured Obligations (other than funds deposited for the satisfaction, discharge or defeasance of any Other Secured Agreement) other than pursuant to the Collateral Documents, and by executing this Agreement (or a Joinder Agreement), each such Collateral Agent and each such Representative and the Series of Secured Claimholders for which it is acting hereunder agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents applicable to it.

(e)            Each of the Secured Claimholders agrees that it will not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the perfection, priority, validity or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any of the Secured Claimholders in all or any part of the Collateral or the provisions of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair (i) the rights of any Collateral Agent or any Representative to enforce this Agreement or (ii) the rights of any Secured Claimholder to contest or support any other Person in contesting the enforceability of any Lien purporting to secure obligations not constituting Secured Obligations.

13

SECTION 2.3 No Interference; Payment Over; Exculpatory Provisions.

(a)            Each Secured Claimholder agrees that (i) it will not challenge or question or support any other Person in challenging or questioning in any proceeding the validity or enforceability of any Secured Obligations of any Series or any Collateral Document or the validity, attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien under any Collateral Document or the validity or enforceability of the priorities, rights or duties established by or other provisions of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Secured Claimholder from challenging or questioning the validity or enforceability of any Secured Obligations constituting unmatured interest or the validity of any Lien relating thereto pursuant to Section 502(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) it will not take or cause to be taken any action the purpose or intent of which is, or could be, to interfere, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral by the Applicable Collateral Agent, (iii) except as provided in Section 2.2, it shall have no right to and shall not otherwise (A) direct the Applicable Collateral Agent or any other Secured Claimholder to exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to any Shared Collateral (including pursuant to any other intercreditor agreement) or (B) consent to, or object to, the exercise by, or any forbearance from exercising by, the Applicable Collateral Agent or any other Secured Claimholder represented by it of any right, remedy or power with respect to any Collateral, (iv) it will not institute any suit or assert in any suit, bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding any claim against the Applicable Collateral Agent or any other Secured Claimholder represented by it seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise with respect to any Collateral and (v) it will not attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to challenge the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any of the Applicable Collateral Agent or any other Secured Claimholder to (i) enforce this Agreement or (ii) contest or support any other Person in contesting the enforceability of any Lien purporting to secure obligations not constituting Secured Obligations.

(b)            Each Secured Claimholder hereby agrees that if it shall obtain possession of any Shared Collateral or shall realize any proceeds or payment in respect of any Shared Collateral, pursuant to any Collateral Document or by the exercise of any rights available to it under applicable law or in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or through any other exercise of remedies (including pursuant to any intercreditor agreement), at any time prior to the Discharge of each of the Secured Obligations, then it shall hold such Shared Collateral, proceeds or payment in trust for the other Secured Claimholders having a security interest in such Shared Collateral and promptly transfer any such Shared Collateral, proceeds or payment, as the case may be, to the Applicable Collateral Agent, to be distributed by such Applicable Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1(a) hereof, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Shared Collateral purchased by any Secured Claimholder for cash pursuant to any exercise of remedies permitted hereunder.

14

(c)            None of the Applicable Collateral Agent, any Applicable Representative or any other Secured Claimholder shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Applicable Collateral Agent, such Applicable Representative or any other Secured Claimholder with respect to any Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.4 Automatic Release of Liens.

(a)            If, at any time any Shared Collateral is transferred to a third party or otherwise disposed of, in each case, in connection with any enforcement by the Applicable Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then (whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is pending at the time) the Liens in favor of the other Collateral Agents for the benefit of each Series of Secured Claimholders (or in favor of such other Secured Claimholders if directly secured by such Liens) upon such Shared Collateral will automatically be released and discharged upon final conclusion of such disposition as and when, but only to the extent, such Liens of the Applicable Collateral Agent on such Shared Collateral are released and discharged; provided that any proceeds of any Shared Collateral realized therefrom shall be applied pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof. If in connection with any such foreclosure or other exercise of remedies by the Applicable Collateral Agent, the Applicable Collateral Agent or related Applicable Representative of such Series of Secured Obligations releases any guarantor from its obligation under a guarantee of the Series of Secured Obligations for which it serves as agent prior to a Discharge of such Series of Secured Obligations, such guarantor also shall be released from its guarantee of all other Secured Obligations. If in connection with any such foreclosure or other exercise of remedies by the Applicable Collateral Agent, the equity interests of any Person are foreclosed upon or otherwise disposed of and the Applicable Collateral Agent releases its Lien on the property or assets of such Person, then the Liens of each other Collateral Agent (or in favor of such other Secured Claimholders if directly secured by such Liens) with respect to any Collateral consisting of the property or assets of such Person will be automatically released to the same extent as the Liens of the Applicable Collateral Agent are released; provided that any proceeds of any such equity interests foreclosed upon where the Applicable Collateral Agent releases its Lien on the assets of such Person on which another Series of Secured Obligations holds a Lien on any of the assets of such Person (any such assets, the “Underlying Assets”) which Lien is released as provided in this sentence (any such Proceeds being referred to herein as “Equity Release Proceeds” regardless of whether or not such other Series of Secured Obligations holds a Lien on such equity interests so disposed of) shall be applied pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof.

(b)            Without limiting the rights of the Applicable Collateral Agent under Section 4.2, each Collateral Agent and each Representative agrees to execute and deliver (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors) all such authorizations and other instruments as shall reasonably be requested by the Applicable Collateral Agent to evidence and confirm any release of Shared Collateral, Underlying Assets or guarantee provided for in this Section.

SECTION 2.5 Certain Agreements with Respect to Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings.

(a)            This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the commencement of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law by or against any Grantor or any of its subsidiaries.

15

(b)            If any Grantor shall become subject to a case (a “Bankruptcy Case”) under the Bankruptcy Code and shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, move for approval of financing (“DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, each Secured Claimholder (other than any Controlling Claimholder or any Representative of any Controlling Claimholder) agrees that it will not raise any objection to any such financing or to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Shared Collateral, unless a Representative of the Controlling Claimholders shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Controlling Claimholders, each Non- Controlling Claimholder will subordinate its Liens with respect to such Shared Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the Controlling Claimholders (other than any Liens of any Secured Claimholders constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such Shared Collateral granted to secure the Secured Obligations of the Controlling Claimholders, each Non-Controlling Claimholder will confirm the priorities with respect to such Shared Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the Secured Claimholders of each Series retain the benefit of their Liens on all such Shared Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding, with the same priority vis-à-vis all the other Secured Claimholders (other than any Liens of the Secured Claimholders constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (B) the Secured Claimholders of each Series are granted Liens on any additional collateral pledged to any Secured Claimholders as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, with the same priority vis-à-vis the Secured Claimholders as set forth in this Agreement (other than any Liens of any Secured Claimholders constituting DIP Financing Liens), (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the Secured Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 2.1(a) of this Agreement, and (D) if any Secured Claimholders are granted adequate protection with respect to the Secured Obligations subject hereto, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection are applied pursuant to Section 2.1(a) of this Agreement; provided that the Secured Claimholders of each Series shall have a right to object to the grant of a Lien to secure the DIP Financing over any Collateral subject to Liens in favor of the Secured Claimholders of such Series or its Representative that shall not constitute Shared Collateral (unless such Collateral fails to constitute Shared Collateral because the Lien in respect thereof constitutes a Declined Lien with respect to such Secured Claimholders or their Representative or Collateral Agent); provided, further, that the Secured Claimholders receiving adequate protection shall not object to any other Secured Claimholder receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate protection granted to such Secured Claimholders in connection with a DIP Financing or use of cash collateral.

(c)            If any Secured Claimholder is granted adequate protection (A) in the form of Liens on any additional collateral, then each other Secured Claimholder shall be entitled to seek, and each Secured Claimholder will consent and not object to, adequate protection in the form of Liens on such additional collateral with the same priority vis-à-vis the Secured Claimholders as set forth in this Agreement, (B) in the form of a superpriority or other administrative claim, then each other Secured Claimholder shall be entitled to seek, and each Secured Claimholder will consent and not object to, adequate protection in the form of a pari passu superpriority or administrative claim or (C) in the form of periodic or other cash payments, then the proceeds of such adequate protection must be applied to all Secured Obligations pursuant to Section 2.1.

16

SECTION 2.6 Reinstatement. In the event that any of the Secured Obligations shall be paid in full and such payment or any part thereof shall subsequently, for whatever reason (including an order or judgment for disgorgement of a preference under Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar law, or the settlement of any claim in respect thereof), be required to be returned or repaid, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be fully applicable thereto until all such Secured Obligations shall again have been paid in full in cash. This Section 2.6 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.7 [Reserved].

SECTION 2.8 Refinancings. The Secured Obligations of any Series may, subject to Section 5.14, be Refinanced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the Refinancing transaction under any Secured Debt Document) of any Secured Claimholder of any other Series, all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided that the Representative and Collateral Agent of the holders of any such Refinancing Indebtedness shall have executed a Joinder Agreement on behalf of the holders of such Refinancing Indebtedness.

SECTION 2.9 Gratuitous Bailee/Agent for Perfection.

(a)            The Applicable Collateral Agent shall be entitled to hold any Possessory Collateral constituting Shared Collateral.

(b)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Possessory Collateral and control any Control Collateral, in each case constituting Shared Collateral and any other Shared Collateral from time to time in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other Secured Claimholder (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-106(d)(3), 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC) and any assignee, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Shared Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable Collateral Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.9.

(c)            No Collateral Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to any Secured Claimholder to ensure that the Possessory Collateral and Control Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 2.9. The duties or responsibilities of each Collateral Agent under this Section 2.9 shall be limited solely to holding any Possessory Collateral and controlling any Control Collateral, in each case constituting Shared Collateral or any other Shared Collateral in its possession or control as gratuitous bailee in accordance with this Section 2.9 and delivering the Possessory Collateral constituting Shared Collateral as provided in Section 2.9(e) below.

(d)            None of the Collateral Agents or any of the Secured Claimholders shall have by reason of the Secured Debt Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the other Collateral Agents or any other Secured Claimholder, and each Collateral Agent and each Secured Claimholder hereby waives and releases the other Collateral Agents and Secured Claimholders from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to any Collateral Agent’s role under this Section 2.9 as gratuitous bailee with respect to the Possessory Collateral and Control Collateral, in each case constituting Shared Collateral or any other Shared Collateral in its possession or control.

17

(e)            At any time the Applicable Collateral Agent is no longer the Applicable Collateral Agent, such outgoing Applicable Collateral Agent shall deliver the remaining Possessory Collateral constituting Shared Collateral in its possession (if any) together with any necessary endorsements (which endorsement shall be without recourse and without any representation or warranty), first, to the then Applicable Collateral Agent to the extent Secured Obligations remain outstanding and second, to the applicable Grantor to the extent no Secured Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain possession or control of such Shared Collateral) or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. The outgoing Applicable Collateral Agent further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested in writing by the then Applicable Collateral Agent at the expense of the Company in connection with the then Applicable Collateral Agent obtaining a first-priority security interest in the Shared Collateral.

SECTION 2.10       Amendments to Collateral Documents.

(a)            Without the prior written consent of each other Collateral Agent, each Collateral Agent agrees that no Collateral Document may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, replaced or Refinanced or otherwise modified from time to time or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement, Refinancing or modification, or the terms of any new Collateral Document, would be prohibited by, or would require any Grantor to act or refrain from acting in a manner that would violate, any of the terms of this Agreement.

(b)            In determining whether an amendment to any Collateral Document is permitted by this Section 2.10, each Collateral Agent may conclusively rely on an officer’s certificate of the Company stating that such amendment is permitted by this Section 2.10 (it being understood that the delivery of such certificate shall not constitute a condition to any such amendment).

SECTION 2.11       Similar Liens and Agreements.

(a)            The parties hereto agree that it is their intention that the Collateral be identical for all Secured Claimholders provided, that this provision will not be violated with respect to any particular Series if the Secured Debt Document for such Series prohibits the Collateral Agent for that Series from accepting a Lien on such asset or property or such Collateral Agent otherwise expressly declines to accept a Lien on such asset or property (any such prohibited or declined Liens with respect to a particular Series, a “Declined Lien”). In furtherance of, but subject to, the foregoing, the parties hereto agree, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement:

(i)            upon written request by any Collateral Agent, to cooperate in good faith (and to direct their counsel to cooperate in good faith) from time to time in order to determine the specific items included in the Shared Collateral and the steps taken to perfect their respective Liens thereon and the identity of the respective parties obligated under the Initial Notes Documents and the Other Secured Debt Documents; and

18

(ii)            that the documents and agreements creating or evidencing the Liens on Shared Collateral securing the Initial Notes Obligations and the Other Secured Obligations shall, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5.2, be in all material respects the same forms of documents as one another, except that the documents and agreements creating or evidencing the Liens securing the Other Secured Obligations may contain additional provisions as may be necessary or appropriate to establish the intercreditor arrangements among the various separate classes of creditors holding Other Secured Obligations and to address any Declined Lien.

ARTICLE III.

EXISTENCE AND AMOUNTS OF LIENS AND OBLIGATIONS

Whenever any Applicable Collateral Agent or any Applicable Representative shall be required, in connection with the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder, to determine the existence or amount of any Secured Obligations of any Series, or the Shared Collateral subject to any Lien securing the Secured Obligations of any Series, it may request that such information be furnished to it in writing by each other Representative or each other Collateral Agent and shall be entitled to make such determination or not make any determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided, however, that if a Representative or a Collateral Agent shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested information, the requesting Applicable Collateral Agent or Applicable Representative shall be entitled to make any such determination or not make any determination by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, determine, including by reliance upon a certificate of the Company. Each Applicable Collateral Agent and each Applicable Representative may rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to any Grantor, any Secured Claimholder or any other person as a result of such determination.

ARTICLE IV.

THE APPLICABLE COLLATERAL AGENT

SECTION 4.1 Authority.

(a)            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing herein shall be construed to impose any fiduciary or other duty on any Applicable Collateral Agent to any Non-Controlling Claimholder or give any Non-Controlling Claimholder the right to direct any Applicable Collateral Agent, except that each Applicable Collateral Agent shall be obligated to distribute proceeds of any Shared Collateral in accordance with Section 2.1 hereof.

19

(b)            In furtherance of the foregoing, each Non-Controlling Claimholder acknowledges and agrees that the Applicable Collateral Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated), for the benefit of the Secured Claimholders, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with any Shared Collateral as provided herein and in the Collateral Documents, as applicable, without regard to any rights to which the Non-Controlling Claimholders would otherwise be entitled as a result of the Secured Obligations held by such Non-Controlling Claimholders. Without limiting the foregoing, each Non-Controlling Claimholder agrees that none of the Applicable Collateral Agent, the Applicable Representative or any other Secured Claimholder shall have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any of the Secured Obligations), or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any Secured Obligations), in any manner that would maximize the return to the Non-Controlling Claimholders, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the Non-Controlling Claimholders from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation. Each of the Secured Claimholders waives any claim it may now or hereafter have against any Collateral Agent or Representative of any other Series of Secured Obligations or any other Secured Claimholder of any other Series arising out of (i) any actions which any such Collateral Agent, Representative or any Secured Claimholder represented by it take or omit to take (including actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the Secured Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with the Collateral Documents or any other agreement related thereto or in connection with the collection of the Secured Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for the Secured Obligations; provided that nothing in this clause (i) shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Collateral Agent or Representative to enforce this Agreement, (ii) any election by any Applicable Representative or any holders of Secured Obligations, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or (iii) subject to Section 2.5, any borrowing, or grant of a security interest or administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as debtor-in-possession. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Applicable Collateral Agent shall not (i) accept any Shared Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of any Secured Obligations pursuant to Section 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, without the consent of each Representative representing holders of Secured Obligations for whom such Collateral constitutes Shared Collateral or (ii) “credit bid” for or purchase (other than for cash) Shared Collateral at any public, private or judicial foreclosure upon such Shared Collateral, without the consent of each Representative representing holders of Secured Obligations for whom such Collateral constitutes Shared Collateral.

SECTION 4.2 Power-of-Attorney.

Each Non-Controlling Representative and Collateral Agent that is not the Applicable Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Secured Claimholder of the Series for whom it is acting, hereby irrevocably appoints the Applicable Collateral Agent and any officer or agent of the Applicable Collateral Agent, which appointment is coupled with an interest with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Non-Controlling Representative, Collateral Agent or Secured Claimholder, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including the exercise of any and all remedies under each Collateral Document with respect to Shared Collateral and the execution of releases in connection therewith.

20

SECTION 4.3 Exculpatory Provisions.

The Applicable Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Secured Debt Documents to which it is a party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Applicable Collateral Agent:

(i)            shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties of any kind or nature to any Person, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii)            shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Secured Debt Documents to which the Applicable Collateral Agent is a party that the Applicable Collateral Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Applicable Representative; provided that the Applicable Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Applicable Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Secured Debt Document to which it is a party or applicable law;

(iii)            shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Applicable Representative or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or (iii) in reliance on a certificate of an authorized officer of the Grantors stating that such action is not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement. The Applicable Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default under any Secured Obligations unless and until notice describing such Event of Default is given to the Applicable Collateral Agent by the Authorized Representative of such Obligations or the Grantors;

(iv)            shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Secured Debt Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Secured Debt Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Secured Debt Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral for any Secured Obligations, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in any Secured Debt Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Applicable Collateral Agent;

21

(v)            shall not have any fiduciary duties of any kind or nature under any other Secured Debt Documents (but shall be entitled to all protections provided to the Applicable Collateral Agent therein);

(vi)           may conclusively rely on any certificate of an officer of the Grantors provided pursuant hereto; and

(vii)          need not segregate money held hereunder from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Applicable Collateral Agent shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing.

ARTICLE V.

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 5.1 Integration/Conflicts.

This Agreement, together with the other Secured Debt Documents and the Collateral Documents, represents the entire agreement of each of the Grantors and the Secured Claimholders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. There are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Representative, Collateral Agent or Secured Claimholder relative to the subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or therein. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Secured Debt Documents the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control.

SECTION 5.2 Effectiveness; Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability.

This Agreement shall become effective when executed and delivered by the parties hereto. This is a continuing agreement and the Secured Claimholders of any Series may continue, at any time and without notice to any Secured Claimholder of any other Series, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of the Company or any Grantor constituting Secured Obligations in reliance hereon. Each Representative and each Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each other Secured Claimholder represented by it, hereby waives any right it may have under applicable law to revoke this Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to those of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. All references to the Company or any other Grantor shall include the Company or such Grantor as debtor and debtor in possession and any receiver, trustee or similar person for the Company or any other Grantor (as the case may be) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect with respect to any Representative or Collateral Agent and the Secured Claimholders represented by such Representative or Collateral Agent and their Secured Obligations, on the date on which there has been a Discharge of such Series of Secured Obligations, subject to the rights of the Secured Claimholders under Section 2.6; provided, however, that such termination shall not relieve any such party of its obligations incurred hereunder prior to the date of such termination.

22

SECTION 5.3 Amendments; Waivers.

(a)            No amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed by each Representative, each Collateral Agent and the Company and each waiver, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time.

(b)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any Secured Claimholder, any Representative and Collateral Agent may become a party hereto by execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement in accordance with Section 5.14 of this Agreement and upon such execution and delivery, such Representative and Collateral Agent and the Other Secured Claimholders and Other Secured Obligations of the Series for which such Representative and Collateral Agent is acting shall be subject to the terms hereof.

(c)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any other Representative or Secured Claimholder, the Applicable Collateral Agent may effect amendments and modifications to this Agreement to the extent necessary to reflect any incurrence of any Other Secured Obligations in compliance with the Initial Notes Agreement and the other Secured Debt Documents.

SECTION 5.4 Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Grantors and their Subsidiaries.

The Representative and Collateral Agent and the other Secured Claimholders of each Series shall have no responsibility to keep the Representative, Collateral Agent or Secured Claimholders of any other Series informed of (a) the financial condition of the Grantors and their Subsidiaries and all endorsers and/or guarantors of the Secured Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Secured Obligations. The Representative and Collateral Agent and the other Secured Claimholders of each Series shall have no duty to advise the Representative, Collateral Agent or Secured Claimholders of any other Series of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances or otherwise. In the event the Representative or Collateral Agent or any of the other Secured Claimholders, in its or their sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to the Representative, Collateral Agent or Secured Claimholders of any other Series, it or they shall be under no obligation:

(a)            to make, and such Representative and Collateral Agent and such other Secured Claimholders shall not make, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided;

23

(b)            to provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion;

(c)            to undertake any investigation; or

(d)            to disclose any information, which pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is otherwise required to maintain confidential.

SECTION 5.5 Submission to Jurisdiction; Certain Waivers.

Each of the Company, each other Grantor, each Collateral Agent and each Representative, on behalf of itself and each other Secured Claimholder represented by it, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a)            submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the Collateral Documents (whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise) to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive (subject to Section 5.5(c) below) general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and appellate courts from any thereof;
