70

therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period. If since the beginning of any applicable Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this section, then such financial ratio or test (or Consolidated EBITDA) shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this section; provided that with respect to any pro forma calculations to be made in connection with any acquisition or investment in respect of which financial statements for the relevant target are not available for the same Test Period for which consolidated financial statements are available (which may, at the Company’s election, be internal financial statements), the Company shall determine such pro forma calculations on the basis of the available financial statements (even if for differing periods) or such other basis as determined on a commercially reasonable basis by the Company.

(b) Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction or the implementation of an operational initiative or operational change, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a financial officer of the Company and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of “run-rate” cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating initiatives, other operating improvements and synergies projected by the Company in good faith to be realized as a result of specified actions taken, committed to be taken or expected to be taken (in the good faith determination of the Company) relating to such Specified Transaction or such implementation of an operational initiative or operational change (calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating initiatives, other operating improvements and synergies had been realized in full on the first day of such period and as if such cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating initiatives, other operating improvements and synergies were realized in full during the entirety of such period) and “run-rate” means the full recurring benefit for a period that is associated with any action taken, committed to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken (including any savings expected to result from the elimination of a public target’s compliance costs with public company requirements), whether prior to or following the Issue Date, net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions, and any such adjustments shall be included in the initial pro forma calculations of such financial ratios or tests and during any subsequent Test Period in which the effects thereof are expected to be realized; provided that (i) such amounts are reasonably identifiable, (ii) except as set forth in the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA,” such actions are taken, committed to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken (in the good faith determination of the Company) no later than 24 months after the date of such Specified Transaction, such implementation of an operational initiative or operational change (or actions undertaken or implemented prior to the consummation of such Specified Transaction), (iii) no amounts shall be added to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in computing Consolidated EBITDA (or any other components thereof), whether through a pro forma adjustment or otherwise, with respect to such period and (iv) it is understood and agreed that, subject to compliance with the other provisions of this paragraph, amounts to be included in pro forma calculations pursuant to this paragraph may be included in Test Periods in which the Specified Transaction to which such amounts relate to is no longer being given pro forma effect pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph.

71

(c) In the event that (i) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries incurs (including by assumption or guarantees), issues or repays (including by redemption, repurchase, repayment, retirement, discharge, defeasance or extinguishment) any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility), (ii) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries issues, repurchases or redeems Disqualified Stock, (iii) any Restricted Subsidiary issues, repurchases or redeems Preferred Stock or (iv) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries establishes or eliminates any Designated Revolving Commitments, in each case included in the calculations of any financial ratio or test (and, in each case of the foregoing clauses (i) and (iv), any Lien incurred in connection therewith), (A) during the applicable Test Period or (B) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, issuance, repayment or redemption of Indebtedness, issuance, repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, or establishment or elimination of any Designated Revolving Commitments, in each case to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period (except in the case of the Interest Coverage Ratio (or similar ratio), in which case such incurrence, issuance, guarantee, discharge, defeasance, extinguishment, repayment or redemption of Indebtedness, issuance, repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, or establishment or elimination of any Designated Revolving Commitments, in each case will be given effect, as if the same had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period) and, in the case of Indebtedness for all purposes such financial ratio or test shall be calculated as if such Indebtedness in the full amount of any undrawn Designated Revolving Commitments had been incurred thereunder throughout such period, it being understood that any such committed amount under such Designated Revolving Commitments may thereafter be borrowed (and reborrowed, if applicable), in whole or in part, from time to time, without further compliance with any Basket or financial ratio or test under this Indenture (including the Interest Coverage Ratio, the Consolidated Total Debt Ratio and the Consolidated First Lien Debt Ratio).

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, in the event any Lien, Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness under the New Credit Agreement outstanding on the Issue Date, which will be deemed to have been incurred in reliance on Section 4.09(b)(1)), Disqualified Stock, Preferred Stock, Asset Sale, Investment, Restricted Payment, or other transaction, action, judgment or amount incurred under any provision in this Indenture (or any of the foregoing in concurrent transactions, a single transaction or a series of related transactions) meets the criteria of one or more than one of the categories of Baskets under this Indenture (including within any defined terms), including any Fixed Basket or Non-Fixed Basket, as applicable, the Company shall be permitted, in its sole discretion, to divide and classify and to later, at any time and from time to time, re-divide and re-classify (including to re-classify utilization of any Fixed Basket as being incurred under any Non-Fixed Basket or other Fixed Basket or utilization of any Non-Fixed Basket as being incurred under any Fixed Basket or other Non-Fixed Basket) on one or more occasions (based on circumstances existing on the date of any such re-division and re-classification) any such Lien, Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock, Preferred Stock, Asset Sale, Investment, Restricted Payment, or other transaction, action, judgment or amount, in whole or in part, among one or more than one applicable Baskets under this Indenture (in the case of re-classification or re-division, so long as the amount so re-classified or re-divided is re-classified or re-divided only within the same negative covenant and permitted at the time of such re-classification or re-division to be incurred pursuant to the applicable Basket into which

72

such amount is re-classified or re-divided at such time). For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of any Lien, Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock, Preferred Stock, Asset Sale, Investment, Restricted Payment or other transaction, action, judgment or amount that shall be allocated to each such Basket shall be determined by the Company at the time of such division, classification, re-division or reclassification, as applicable. If any Lien, Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock, Preferred Stock, Asset Sale, Investment, Restricted Payment, or other transaction, action, judgment or amount incurred under any provision in this Indenture (or any portion of the foregoing) previously divided and classified (or re-divided and re-classified) as set forth above under any Fixed Basket, could subsequently be re-divided and re-classified under a Non-Fixed Basket, such re-division and re-classification shall be deemed to occur automatically, in each case, unless otherwise elected by the Company. For all purposes hereunder, (x) “Fixed Basket” shall mean any Basket that is subject to a fixed-dollar limit (including Baskets based on a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA) and (y) “Non-Fixed Basket” shall mean any Basket that is subject to compliance with a financial ratio or test (including the Interest Coverage Ratio, the Consolidated First Lien Debt Ratio or the Consolidated Total Debt Ratio) (any such ratio or test, a “Financial Incurrence Test”).

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, in calculating any Non-Fixed Basket, (i) any amounts incurred under any revolving facility, (ii) any Indebtedness concurrently incurred to fund original issue discount or upfront fees and (iii) any amounts incurred, or transactions entered into or consummated, in reliance on a Fixed Basket in a concurrent transaction, a single transaction or a series of related transactions with the amount incurred, or transaction entered into or consummated, under an applicable Non-Fixed Basket, in each case of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), shall be disregarded in the calculation of such Non-Fixed Basket; provided that full pro forma effect shall be given to all applicable and related transactions (including the use of proceeds of all applicable Indebtedness incurred and any repayments, repurchases and redemptions of Indebtedness) and all other adjustments as to which pro forma effect may be given under this section. If any Lien, Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock, Preferred Stock, Asset Sale, Investment, Restricted Payment, or other transaction, action, judgment or amount (any of the foregoing in concurrent transactions, a single transaction or a series of related transactions) is incurred, issued, taken or consummated in reliance on categories of Baskets measured by reference to a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA, and any Lien, Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock, Preferred Stock, Asset Sale, Investment, Restricted Payment, or other transaction, action, judgment or amount (including in connection with refinancing thereof) would subsequently exceed the applicable percentage of Consolidated EBITDA if calculated based on the Consolidated EBITDA on a later date (including the date of any refinancing or re-classification), such percentage of Consolidated EBITDA will be deemed not to be exceeded (so long as, in the case of refinancing any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (and any related Lien), the principal amount or the liquidation preference of such newly incurred or issued Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock does not exceed the maximum principal amount, liquidation preference or amount of Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of the Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock being refinanced, extended, replaced, refunded, renewed or defeased).

THE NOTES

Section 2.01 Form and Dating.

(a) General. The Notes and the Trustee’s (or its Authenticating Agent’s) certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage; provided that any such notations, legends or endorsements are in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. Each note will bear interest at a rate of 7.750% per annum from the Issue Date or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for, payable semiannually on each March 31 and September 30 of each year (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on March 31, 2025 to Holders of record at the close of business on the March 15 or September 15, whether or not a Business Day, immediately preceding each Interest Payment Date. Interest will be paid on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The Notes will be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

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

(b) Global Notes. Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon (or otherwise in accordance with the Applicable Procedures (as defined below)) and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time

74

be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the custodian for the Depositary (the “Custodian”), at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06.

(c) Temporary Global Notes. Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S will be issued initially in the form of the Regulation S Permanent Global Note or, at the discretion of the Company, the Regulation S Temporary Global Note. If issued, the Regulation S Temporary Global Note will be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee, as Custodian, and registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary for the accounts of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. After the 40^th day after the later of the commencement of the offering of the Initial Notes and the Issue Date (such period through and including such 40^th day, the “Restricted Period”) and upon the receipt by the Trustee of:

(1) certificates from Euroclear and Clearstream, substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, certifying that they have received certification of non-United States beneficial ownership of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note (except to the extent of any beneficial owners thereof who acquired an interest therein during the Restricted Period pursuant to another exemption from registration under the Securities Act and who will take delivery of a beneficial ownership interest in a 144A Global Note bearing a Private Placement Legend, all as contemplated by Section 2.06(b)); and

(2) an Officer’s Certificate from the Company,

beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note will be exchanged for beneficial interests in the Regulation S Permanent Global Note pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Depositary (the “Applicable Procedures”). Simultaneously with such exchange of the Regulation S Permanent Global Note, the Trustee will cancel the Regulation S Temporary Global Note. The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note and the Regulation S Permanent Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, in connection with transfers of interests as hereinafter provided.

(d) Euroclear and Clearstream Applicable Procedures. The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream Banking” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream will be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note and the Regulation S Permanent Global Notes that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.

75

(e) Issuance of Additional Notes. Additional Notes ranking pari passu with the Initial Notes may be created and issued from time to time by the Company without notice to or consent of the Holders and shall be consolidated with and form a single class with the Initial Notes and shall have the same terms as to status or otherwise as the Initial Notes, subject to the next paragraph, which terms shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate or, at the election of the Company, a supplemental indenture; provided that (i) the Company’s ability to issue Additional Notes shall be subject to the Company’s compliance with Sections 4.09 and 4.12 and (ii) a separate CUSIP, Common Code or ISIN number will be used for Additional Notes, unless the Notes and Additional Notes are treated as fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The Company may designate the maturity date, interest rate and optional redemption provisions applicable to each series of Additional Notes, which may differ from the maturity date, interest rate and optional redemption provisions applicable to the Initial Notes. Additional Notes that differ with respect to maturity date, interest rate or optional redemption provisions from the Notes issued on the Issue Date will constitute a different series of Notes from such Initial Notes. Unless otherwise designated by the Company, Additional Notes that have the same maturity date, interest rate and optional redemption provisions as the Initial Notes will be treated as the same as the Initial Notes for all purposes under this Indenture. The Company similarly may vary the application of related other provisions (including the issue price and any applicable original issue discount legend) to any series of Additional Notes.

Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication.

At least one Officer must sign the Notes for the Company by manual signature, facsimile signature or Electronic Signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be valid.

A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature, facsimile signature or Electronic Signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee. The signature of the Trustee on a Note will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture.

The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order signed by an Officer of the Company (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate and deliver Notes for original issue, of which $950,000,000 in aggregate principal amount will be issued on the Issue Date. In addition, at any time, from time to time, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, together with an Opinion of Counsel addressing such matters as the Trustee may reasonably request, authenticate and deliver any Additional Notes for an aggregate principal amount specified in such Authentication Order for such Additional Notes issued or increased hereunder. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Company pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. Such Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such Authenticating Agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as an agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Company. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.

76

Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent.

The Company will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”), an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for transfer or exchange (the “Transfer Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The registered holder of a Note will be treated as the owner of the Note for all purposes. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents or transfer agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar, the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent and the term “Transfer Agent” includes any additional transfer agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent without prior notice to any Holder. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar, Paying Agent or Transfer Agent, the Trustee shall act as such Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar.

The Company initially appoints DTC to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes and as Registrar with respect to the Notes. The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Paying Agent with respect to the Notes. The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Transfer Agent with respect to the Notes. Each of the foregoing hereby accepts such respective appointments.

The Company shall be responsible for making calculations called for under the Notes, including but not limited to determination of redemption price, premium, if any, and any additional amounts or other amounts payable on the Notes. The Company will make the calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding on the Holders. The Company will provide a schedule of its calculations to the Trustee when requested by the Trustee, and the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of the Company’s calculations without independent verification. The Company shall forward its calculations to any Holder upon the written request of such Holder.

Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

The Company will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders and the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, the Notes, and will notify the Trustee in writing, as applicable, of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee, as applicable. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee, as applicable. Upon payment over to the Trustee, as applicable, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to any Company, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

77

Section 2.05 Holder Lists.

The Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company will furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee, as applicable, may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes.

Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.06, a Global Note may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor thereto or a nominee of such successor thereto. All Global Notes may be exchanged for Definitive Notes of the same series if:

(A) the Depositary (x) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or (y) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 120 days, or

(B) if there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes and the beneficial owners thereof have requested such exchange.

Upon the occurrence of any of the events in clauses (A) or (B) above, Definitive Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note of the same series or beneficial interests therein will be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures). Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note of the same series or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Sections 2.07 or 2.10, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note, except for Definitive Notes issued subsequent to any of the events in clause (A) or (B) above and pursuant to Section 2.06(b). A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a); provided, however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.06(a) or in Sections 2.06(b) or 2.06(c).

(b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. None of the Company, Trustee or any agent of the Company shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payment made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Note, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Notes

78

will be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act.

Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.06(b)(1).

(g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Custodian at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Custodian at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

(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 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, 3.09, 4.10, 4.13 and 9.05). In connection with any proposed transfer of Definitive Notes in exchange for Global Notes, there shall be provided to the Trustee all information necessary to allow the Trustee to comply with any applicable tax reporting obligations, including without limitation any cost basis reporting obligations under Internal Revenue Code Section 6045. The Trustee may rely on information provided to it and shall have no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy of such information.

89

(3) 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.

(4) 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 and ending at the close of business on the day of selection;

(B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part;

(C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date; or

(D) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes tendered (and not withdrawn) for repurchase in connection with a Change of Control Offer or an Asset Sale Offer.

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

(6) The Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02.

90

(9) Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary or with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof.

(10) Neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall have any duty to monitor the Company’s compliance with or have any responsibility with respect to the Company’s compliance with any federal or state securities laws in connection with registrations of transfers and exchanges of the Notes.

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

Section 2.07 Replacement Notes.

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the ownership and 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 and the Trustee may charge for their expenses in replacing a Note.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Note has become due and payable, the Company in its sole discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.07, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment, fee or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.07 in exchange for any mutilated Note or in lieu of any destroyed, lost, or stolen Note will constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and will be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and will preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Notes.

91

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 the Company 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, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.

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

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01, 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 with respect to which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice as being so owned at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee will be so disregarded.

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 upon receipt of an Authentication Order. Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits accorded to Holders, or beneficial holders, respectively, of Notes under this Indenture.

92

Section 2.11 Cancellation.

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent and any Transfer Agent will forward to the Trustee for cancellation 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 cancelled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act). Certification of the disposition of all canceled Notes will be delivered to the Company. 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, the Company 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; provided that if the Company pays the defaulted interest prior to the date that is 30 days after the date of default in payment of interest, payment shall be to the record-holders of the Notes as of the original record date. 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. If such default in interest continues for 30 days, 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. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any such special record date. 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.

Section 2.13 CUSIP, ISIN, Common Code Numbers.

The Company in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP, ISIN and “Common Code” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP, ISIN and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy of any CUSIP number printed on any note, notice or elsewhere; provided further that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will as promptly as practicable notify the Trustee in writing of any change in CUSIP, ISIN and “Common Code” numbers.

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

Section 3.01 Notices to Trustee.

If the Company elects to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 and/or paragraph 5 of such Note, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least two Business Days (unless the Trustee agrees to a shorter period) before notice of redemption is required to be delivered to Holders pursuant to Section 3.03, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (i) the paragraph or subparagraph of such Note and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the date of

93

redemption (the “Redemption Date”), (iii) the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, (iv) the redemption price (or manner of calculation if not then known), (v) that such election has been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Company, and (vi) that such election complies with any applicable covenants or conditions precedent set forth in this Indenture. If the redemption price is not known at the time such notice is to be given, the actual redemption price, calculated as described in the terms of the Notes, will be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date.

Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select the Notes for redemption in compliance with the requirements of the principal securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed, as certified to the Trustee by the Company, and in compliance with the requirements of DTC, or if the Notes are not so listed or such exchange prescribes no method of selection and the Notes are not held through DTC or DTC prescribes no method of selection, the Trustee will select on a pro rata basis, subject to adjustments so that no Note in an unauthorized denomination remains outstanding after such redemption; provided, however, that no Note of $2,000 in aggregate principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part.

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09, at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail (or with respect to Global Notes, to the extent permitted or required by the Depositary’s Applicable Procedures, sent electronically), a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address (with a copy to the Trustee) or otherwise in accordance with Applicable Procedures, except that redemption notices may be mailed or 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 and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 11.

(b) The notice will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will state:

(1) the redemption date;

(2) the redemption price, or if not then ascertainable, the manner of calculation thereof;

(3) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will state the portion of the principal amount of such Note that is to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the Holder of the Notes upon cancellation of the original Note (or transferred by book entry). In the case of a Global Note, an appropriate notation will be made on such Note (or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC) to decrease the principal amount thereof to an amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption, subject to the terms of the redemption notice (including any conditions precedent as described below). Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions of the Notes called for redemption on and after the applicable redemption date;

94

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

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

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

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

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

(9) if the redemption is conditional, the one or more conditions precedent and that the Company may delay the redemption in its discretion until such time as the condition or conditions are satisfied or waived.

(c) At the Company’s request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee at least three Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be given to Holders pursuant to this Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph (which may be the same Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 3.01).

(d) Notice of any redemption, whether in connection with an Equity Offering, Change of Control, Asset Sale or other transaction or event, may, at the Company’s discretion, be given prior to the completion thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the related Equity Offering, Change of Control, Asset Sale or other transaction or event. The Company may redeem Notes pursuant to one or more of the relevant provisions of this Indenture, and a single notice of redemption may be delivered with respect to redemptions made pursuant to different provisions. In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice of redemption shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was mailed or delivered) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), 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 (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion) by the redemption date as stated in such notice, or by the redemption date as so delayed or that such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Company’s discretion if the Company determines that any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. The Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

95

Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Except as provided in Sections 3.03(d), 3.07(f) and 4.13(a)(8), once notice of redemption is mailed or transmitted in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. The notice, if mailed or transmitted in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or by such other means as may be required hereby or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Subject to Section 3.05, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portion thereof called for redemption.

Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.

Prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the redemption date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

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

Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Company will issue, and upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company, a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered (or transfer such Note by book entry). It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, only an Authentication Order and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Note.

96

Section 3.07 Optional Redemption.

(a) At any time prior to December 18, 2026, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes (calculated after giving effect to the issuance of any Additional Notes treated as the same class as the Initial Notes) issued under this Indenture at a redemption price equal to 107.750% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding, the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of Notes on a relevant record date to receive interest on an Interest Payment Date occurring on or prior to the redemption date), with an amount not to exceed the net cash proceeds of an Equity Offering; provided that:

(1) at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under this Indenture (including any Additional Notes treated as the same class as the Initial Notes, but excluding Notes held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) remain outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption, unless all such Notes are redeemed substantially concurrently; and

(2) the redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.

(2) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;

(3) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest;

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date;

(5) that Holders electing to have a Note purchase pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may elect to have Notes purchase in minimum denominations of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided that any unpurchased portion of a Note must be in a minimum denomination of $2,000;

(6) that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer the Note by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days before the Purchase Date;

99

(7) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period (or the date otherwise set forth in the notice), a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased, or a withdrawal of the Note by book-entry transfer;

(8) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof and/or other First Lien Obligations surrendered by holders or lenders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Company will select the Notes and/or other First Lien Obligations to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and/or such other First Lien Obligations tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed, and thereafter the Trustee will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (subject to the Depositary’s Applicable Procedures with respect to the Global Notes) based on the principal amount tendered (with, in each case, such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company or the Trustee, as applicable, so that only Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased; provided that any unpurchased portion of a Note must be in a minimum denomination of $2,000); and

(9) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer), as applicable.

(e) On or before the Purchase Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment (on a pro rata basis as described above), the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09. The Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will promptly mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase, and, as applicable, the Company will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee will, upon written request from the Company, authenticate and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company will give notice in accordance with Section 13.01 or post to the Secured System the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase Date.

Principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, holds as of 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the due date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, then due.

The Company will maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of either of the Trustee or an affiliate of either of the Trustee, Transfer Agent, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee; provided that no office of the Trustee shall be an office or agency for purposes of service of legal process on any Company or any Guarantor.

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.03.

(3) from and after the Issue Date, within 15 days (or if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day), occurrence of any of the following events, furnish a report describing the following events in sufficient detail: (a) the entry or termination of non-ordinary course agreements that are material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; (b) acquisitions or dispositions that are material under GAAP standards; (c) bankruptcy of the Company; (d) a change in the Company’s independent accountants; (e) the appointment or departure of directors, the principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer; (f) the conclusion that financial statements, covering one or more years or interim periods for which the Company is required to provide under this Indenture can no longer be relied on by the Holders due to one or more material errors; and (g) any Change of Control; provided, however, that no such report will be required to be furnished if the Company determines in its good faith judgment that such event is not material to Holders or the business, assets, operations, financial position or prospects of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole;

provided, however, that the requirement to furnish any of the reports required pursuant to clauses (1), (2) and (3) of this Section 4.03(a) may be satisfied by the posting of such reports within the time periods specified above on Intralinks or any comparable password protected online data system requiring user identification and a confidentiality acknowledgement (the “Secured System”). In addition to providing such information to the Trustee, the Company will be required to make promptly available to the Holders, prospective investors, market makers affiliated with any initial purchaser and securities analysts any password or other login information relating to the Secured System, and shall make readily and promptly available on an “Investor Relations” page on its external website contact information for being provided access to the Secured System to any Holders, prospective investors, market makers affiliated with any initial purchaser and securities analysts and promptly comply with any such requests for access to the Secured System to the extent provided for herein.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) no such report shall be required to provide any information that is not otherwise similar to information currently included in the Offering Memorandum, (b) in no event shall such reports be required to include agreements or documents, except for agreements evidencing material Indebtedness (excluding any schedules and exhibits thereto), (c) such information will not be required to contain any “segment information,” (d) such reports shall not be required to provide beneficial ownership information, (e) with respect to any historical financial statements of an acquired business and related pro forma information required under GAAP and relating to transactions required to be reported pursuant to clause (3) above, such historical financial statements and pro forma information shall only be required to the

extent and in the form available to the Company (as determined by the Company in good faith), (f) no such report will be required to include any trade secrets or other confidential information that is competitively sensitive in the good faith and reasonable determination of the Company and (g) no such report will be required to include earnings per share information, free cash flow and any other information customarily excluded from reports for 144A-for-life reporting companies (even if contained in the Offering Memorandum), including any information that is not otherwise of the type and form currently included in the Offering Memorandum.

(c) The Company will be deemed to have furnished such reports referred to above to the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes if the Company, any direct or indirect parent of the Company or any Qualified Reporting Subsidiary (as defined below) has filed or furnished such reports via EDGAR or a successor filing system within the time periods specified above (including any extension as would be permitted by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act) and such reports are publicly available.

(d) For so long as the Company has designated certain of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, unless the Company determines in its good faith judgment that such presentation is not material to the Holders, then the quarterly and annual financial information required to be provided by this covenant will include a reasonably detailed unaudited presentation in any “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” or other comparable section, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Company as a group.

(e) In addition, to the extent not satisfied by the foregoing, the Company will agree that, for so long as any Notes are not freely transferrable under the Securities Act, it will furnish to Holders of the Notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision).

(f) In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the financial statements, financial information and other information and documents required to be provided as described above may be, rather than those of the Company, those of (a) any predecessor or successor of the Company or any entity meeting the requirements of clause (b) or (c) of this paragraph, (b) any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company that, together with its consolidated Subsidiaries, constitutes substantially all of the assets of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries (“Qualified Reporting Subsidiary”), (c) any direct or indirect parent company of the Company or (d) any combination of the Company and any entity meeting the requirements of clause (a), (b), or (c) of this paragraph; provided that, if the financial information so furnished relates to such Qualified Reporting Subsidiary or such direct or indirect parent of the Company, the same is accompanied by consolidating information, which may be posted to the website of the Company or Secured System, that explains in reasonable detail (including select quantitative metrics) the differences between the information relating to such Qualified Reporting Subsidiary or such parent entity (as the case may be), on the one hand, and the information relating to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand. For the avoidance of doubt, the consolidating information referred to in the proviso in the preceding sentence need not be audited.

103

(g) So long as Notes are outstanding, the Company will also use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its judgment as to what is prudent at the time, to participate in quarterly conference calls, which may be a single conference call open to investors and lenders holding other securities or Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, including the Company’s quarterly earnings call, to discuss results of operations. The Trustee has no duty to participate in or monitor such conference calls. The Trustee will not be deemed to have received notice of such conference calls unless provided by the Company to the Trustee in writing.

(h) Any Person who requests or accesses such financial information required by this covenant will be required to represent to the Company (to the reasonable good faith satisfaction of the Company) that:

(1) it is a Holder, a Beneficial Owner of the Notes, a prospective investor in the Notes or a market maker or securities analyst;

(2) it will keep such information confidential and will not communicate the information to any Person; and

(3) it is not a Person (which includes such Person’s Affiliates) that (i) is principally engaged in a Permitted Business or (ii) derives a significant portion of its revenue from operating a Permitted Business.

(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, failure by the Company to comply with any of its obligations hereunder for purposes of Section 6.01(a)(3) will not constitute an Event of Default thereunder until 270 days after the receipt of the written notice delivered thereunder.

(j) The delivery of any reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge or notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants under this Indenture (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). The Trustee shall have no duty to review or analyze reports, information and documents delivered to it. Additionally, the Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Company’s compliance with the covenants or with respect to any reports or other documents filed with the SEC or any Secured System, or participate on any conference calls.

Section 4.04 Compliance Certificate.

(a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, an Officer’s Certificate stating that in the course of the performance by the signer of his or her duties as an Officer of a Company he or she would normally have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default and whether or not the signer knew of any Default or Event of Default that occurred during such period and is continuing (and, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company or Guarantors are taking or propose to take with respect thereto) and that to his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on the Notes is prohibited.

104

(b) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 20 Business Days after any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing, an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company or Guarantors are taking or propose to take with respect thereto (for avoidance of doubt, no such Officer’s Certificate is required to be delivered if such Default or Event of Default is cured prior to the expiration of such 20 Business Day period). The Trustee will not be deemed to have knowledge of any Defaults or Events of Default unless written notice of an event, which is in fact a Default, has been delivered to the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office specified in this Indenture and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture and states that it is a “Notice of Default.”

Section 4.05 [Reserved].

Section 4.06 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

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

(c) The Company will not incur, and will not permit any Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the applicable Note Guarantee on substantially identical terms when taken as a whole (as determined by the Company); provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a junior priority basis.

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in Sections 4.09(b)(1) through 4.09(b)(32), or is entitled to be incurred as Ratio Debt, the Company will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09; provided that Indebtedness under the New Credit Agreement outstanding on the Issue Date will be deemed to have been incurred in reliance on Section 4.09(b)(1). The accrual of interest or Preferred Stock dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, 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 Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09 or Section 4.12; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof shall be included in Consolidated Interest Expense of the Company as accrued. For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt;

124

provided, that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed (a) the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced plus (b) the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, accrued and unpaid interest, premiums (including, without limitation, tender premiums) and other costs and expenses (including, without limitation, original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees) incurred in connection with such refinancing (and with respect to Indebtedness under Designated Revolving Commitments, including an amount equal to any unutilized Designated Revolving Commitments being refinanced, extended, replaced, refunded, renewed or defeased to the extent permanently terminated at the time of incurrence of such Refinancing Indebtedness). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. The principal amount of Indebtedness outstanding under any clause of this covenant will be determined after giving effect to the application of proceeds of any such Indebtedness to refinance any such other Indebtedness.

(e) 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 4.10 Asset Sales.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(1) the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration (including, by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

125

(2) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration received in the aggregate for all Asset Sales since the Issue Date (on a cumulative basis) (including, by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this Section 4.10(a)(2), each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

(A) any liabilities (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee), contingent or otherwise of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent consolidated balance sheet or in the notes thereto or, if incurred or accrued subsequent to the date of such balance sheet, such liabilities that would have been reflected on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s balance sheet or in the notes thereto if such incurrence or accrual had taken place on or prior to the date of such balance sheet in the good faith determination of the Company) that are extinguished in connection with the transactions relating to such Asset Sale or are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation or indemnity agreement that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from or indemnifies against further liability;

(B) any securities, notes or other obligations or assets received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents;

(C) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this Section 4.10(a)(2)(C) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $100.0 million and (y) 20.0% of LTM EBITDA at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured, at the Company’s option, either at the time of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale or at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value), net of any such Designated Non-cash Consideration subsequently converted into cash and Cash Equivalents;

(D) consideration consisting of Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary that is not Subordinated Indebtedness received from such transferee; and

(E) Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Sale (other than intercompany debt owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), to the extent that the Company and each other Restricted Subsidiary are released from any Guarantee of payment of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Sale.

126

(b) Within 450 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale of Collateral, the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary (as the case may be) may apply an amount (the “Asset Sale Prepayment Amount”) equal to such Net Proceeds:

(1) to reduce, prepay, repay, satisfy and discharge, redeem, or purchase, as applicable, either (i) Obligations under the Notes or (ii) First Lien Obligations, other than the Notes (and, if the Indebtedness being reduced, prepaid, repaid, satisfied and discharged, redeemed, or purchased under this clause (ii) is Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility, to correspondingly permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto); provided that in the case of any reduction, prepayment, repayment, satisfaction and discharge, redemption, or purchase pursuant to clause (ii), (x) unless such First Lien Obligations, other than the Notes, constitute Capital Markets Indebtedness, to the extent that the terms of such First Lien Obligations require that such Net Proceeds be applied to repay Indebtedness outstanding under such First Lien Obligations prior to the prepayment of other First Lien Obligations, the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary shall be entitled to repay such First Lien Obligations prior to repaying Indebtedness under the Notes, and (y) except as provided in the foregoing subclause (x), the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall equally and ratably redeem or repurchase the Notes with any First Lien Obligations repaid pursuant to clause (ii) with such Asset Sale Prepayment Amount as described above under “—Optional Redemption,” or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase a pro rata principal amount of the Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase;

(2) to repay any Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is not a Guarantor (other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary of the Company);

(3) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, a Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;

(4) to (i) make (a) acquisitions of properties (including fee and leasehold interests) and other assets, (b) a capital expenditure and (c) investments in Additional Assets or (ii) replace the businesses, properties and/or assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale;

(5) to acquire other assets (other than current assets) that are used or useful in a Permitted Business; or

(6) any combination of the foregoing.

Any Net Proceeds in respect of any sale of assets other than an Asset Sale of Collateral may be invested or utilized in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. The Company will be deemed to have complied with the provisions set forth in Sections 4.10(b)(3), 4.10(b)(4) or 4.10(b)(5) if, (i) within 450 days after the receipt of the Net Proceeds from the Asset Sale that generated the Asset Sale Prepayment Amount, the Company (or the applicable Restricted

127

Subsidiary) have entered into and not abandoned or rejected a binding agreement or commitment to acquire all or substantially all of such assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business or to make a capital expenditure or acquire such other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business and that acquisition or capital expenditure is thereafter completed within 180 days after the end of such 450-day period or (ii) in the event such binding agreement described in the preceding clause (i) is canceled or terminated for any reason before such Asset Sale Prepayment Amount is applied, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary) enter into another such binding commitment within 180 days of such cancellation or termination of the prior binding commitment; provided that if any second binding commitment is later canceled or terminated for any reason before such Asset Sale Prepayment Amount is applied within 180 days of such second binding commitment, then such Asset Sale Prepayment Amount shall constitute Excess Proceeds.

Pending the final application of any Asset Sale Prepayment Amount, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Indebtedness including under a revolving credit facility, if any, or otherwise invest or utilize such Asset Sale Prepayment Amount in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

(c) Any Asset Sale Prepayment Amount that is not applied or invested as provided in Sections 4.10(a) and 4.10(b) will constitute “Excess Proceeds”; provided that any amount of proceeds offered to Holders in accordance with Section 4.10(b)(1) or pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer (as defined below) made at any time after the Asset Sale shall be deemed to have been applied as required and shall not be deemed to be Excess Proceeds without regard to the extent to which such offer is accepted by the Holders. When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds in any fiscal year exceeds the greater of $120.0 million and 25.0% of LTM EBITDA (the “Excess Proceeds Threshold Amount”), the Company will make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of the Notes and, if required by the terms of other First Lien Obligations (in the case of an Asset Sale of Collateral) that in each case, contain provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase, prepay or redeem with an amount equal to the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase, prepay or redeem on a pro rata basis the maximum principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of Notes and such other First Lien Obligations (plus all accrued interest on the Indebtedness and the amount of all fees and expenses, including premiums, incurred in connection therewith) that may be purchased, prepaid or redeemed with an amount equal to the Excess Proceeds less the Excess Proceeds Threshold Amount. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of purchase, prepayment or redemption, subject to the right of Holders of Notes on a relevant record date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date occurring on or prior to the purchase date, and will be payable in cash. The Company may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to such Asset Sale Prepayment Amount by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Asset Sale Prepayment Amount at any time prior to the expiration of the application period or by electing to make an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Asset Sale Prepayment Amount. If the amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds the amount paid in connection with the consummation of an Asset Sale Offer (any such excess amount, “Retained Declined Proceeds”), the Company may use those Retained Declined Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes or the other First Lien Obligations, as applicable, tendered in (or required to be prepaid or redeemed in connection with) such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Company will

128

select the Notes and such other First Lien Obligations, as applicable, to be purchased on a pro rata basis, based on the amounts tendered or required to be prepaid or redeemed and thereafter the Company will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (subject to DTC’s applicable procedures with respect to the Global Notes) based on the principal amount tendered (with, in each case, such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased; provided that any unpurchased portion of a Note must be in a minimum denomination of $2,000). Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

(d) To the extent that any portion of the Net Proceeds of an Asset Sale payable in respect of the Notes is denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, the amount thereof payable in respect of the Notes shall not exceed the net amount of funds in U.S. dollars that is actually received by the Company upon converting such portion into U.S. dollars.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 4.10, (i) to the extent that the application of any or all of the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Disposition”) would be (x) prohibited or delayed by applicable local law, (y) restricted by applicable organizational documents or any agreement or (z) subject to other organizational or administrative impediments if distributed by the Foreign Subsidiary to the Company (either directly or indirectly through the applicable Subsidiaries), an amount equal to the portion of such Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied in compliance with this Section 4.10; and (ii) to the extent that the Company has determined in good faith that the distribution by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary of any or all of the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition to the Company (either directly or indirectly through the applicable Subsidiaries) could have a material adverse tax consequence to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Affiliates or direct or indirect owners (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes, but is not limited to, the incurrence of any non-de minimis Tax liability (determined in good faith by the Company), including as a result of a dividend or a withholding tax) (together with clauses (i)(x), (i)(y) and (i)(z) of this paragraph, each, a “Payment Block”), an amount equal to such Net Proceeds will not be required to be applied in compliance with this Section 4.10, provided that the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to monitor any Payment Block and/or reserve cash for future repatriation after the Company has notified the Trustee of the existence of such Payment Block. The non-application of any prepayment amounts as a consequence of the foregoing provisions will not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a Default or an Event of Default. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Indenture shall be construed to require any Subsidiary to repatriate cash.

(f) The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Section 3.09 or this Section 4.10, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 3.09 or this Section 4.10 by virtue of such compliance.

129

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of the greater of $75.0 million and 15.0% of LTM EBITDA, unless the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction at the time of such transaction or the execution of the agreement providing for such transaction in arm’s length dealings with a Person who is not such an Affiliate.

(b) The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.11(a):

(1) (i) employment, consulting and severance arrangements between the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and their respective future, present or former officers, employees, independent contractors, advisor, service provider and/or consultants (or their respective Controlled Investment Affiliates or Immediate Family Members), in each case, in the ordinary course of business and (ii) transactions pursuant to any shareholder, employee or director equity plan or stock option plan or any other management or employee benefit plan or agreement, or any equity subscription, co-invest agreement or shareholder agreement, including any arrangement including Equity Interests rolled over or otherwise re-invested by management of the Company in connection with a Permitted Acquisition;

(2) (a) transactions between or among the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (or entity that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction) or between or among Restricted Subsidiaries (or entity that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction), (b) any customary transaction with a Securitization Entity effected as part of a Qualified Securitization Transaction, including in respect of Standard Securitization Undertakings, any disposition of Securitization Assets or related assets in connection with any Qualified Securitization Transaction and any repurchase of Securitization Assets pursuant to a Securitization Repurchase Obligation, and (c) for the avoidance of doubt, any customary transaction between or among the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries effected as part of a Qualified Receivables/Equipment Facility, including in respect of Standard Receivables Undertakings, and any repurchase of Receivables Assets pursuant to a Receivables Repurchase Obligation;

(3) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company) that is an Affiliate of the Company solely because the Company owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person;

130

(4) payment of compensation, fees, indemnities and reimbursements of expenses to (pursuant to indemnity arrangements (including under customary insurance policies) or otherwise), and employee benefit and pension expenses and severance arrangements provided on behalf of or for the benefit of, officers, directors, employees, advisors, service provider or consultants or independent contractors (or their Controlled Investment Affiliates or Immediate Family Members or Permitted Transferees thereof) of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(5) any issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company to Affiliates of the Company;

Section 4.13 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Triggering Event.

(a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any portion (equal to a minimum denomination of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth in this Indenture; provided that any unpurchased portion of a Note must be in a minimum denomination of $2,000. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will offer a Change of Control Payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase (such payment, the “Change of Control Payment,” and such date of purchase, the “Change of Control Payment Date”), subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on a relevant record date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, except to the extent the Company has delivered notice to the Trustee of its intention to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 and/or paragraph 5 of such Note, the Company will deliver or cause to be delivered a notice of such Change of Control Offer electronically in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC or by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of Notes at the address of such Holder appearing in the Notes register or otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating:

(1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.13 and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment;

(2) the purchase price and the Change of Control Payment Date, which date shall be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered, pursuant to the procedures required by this Indenture, except in the case of a conditional Change of Control Offer made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event pursuant to 4.13(a)(8);

(3) that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;

(5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

134

(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the expiration of the Change of Control Offer period (or the date otherwise set forth in the notice), which shall be specified in the notice if different from the Change of Control Payment Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased or a withdrawal of the Note by book-entry transfer;

(7) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, as applicable, which unpurchased option must be equal to a minimum denomination of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof;

(8) if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control and describing each such condition, and if applicable, stating that, in the Company’s discretion, the Change of Control Payment Date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the notice is mailed or delivered) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or that such purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that the Company shall determine that any or all of such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Change of Control Payment Date (as so delayed, if applicable); and

(9) the other instructions, as determined by the Company, consistent with this Section 4.13, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes repurchased.

(b) The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.13, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.13 by virtue of such compliance. The Company may rely on any no-action letters issued by the SEC indicating that the staff of the SEC will not recommend enforcement action in the event a tender offer satisfies certain conditions.

(c) The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.13 and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.07 and/or paragraph 5 of such Note, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price on the applicable redemption date or the redemption is not consummated due to the failure of a condition precedent contained in the applicable redemption notice to be satisfied.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, or conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control Triggering Event.

135

Section 4.14 Future Guarantees.

(a) If, after the Issue Date, (a) any Wholly-Owned Domestic Restricted Subsidiary (including any newly formed, newly acquired or newly redesignated Restricted Subsidiary, but excluding any Excluded Subsidiary) that is not then a Guarantor (x) guarantees or incurs any Indebtedness under the New Credit Agreement or (y) incurs or guarantees any Capital Markets Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $200.0 million (“Certain Capital Markets Debt”) or (b) the Company otherwise elects to have any Restricted Subsidiary become a Guarantor, then, in each such case, the Company shall cause such Restricted Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent a supplemental indenture to this Indenture pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor under this Indenture and shall provide a Note Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in this Indenture and applicable to the other Guarantors and execute and deliver to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent joinders to the Security Documents or new Security Documents together with any other filings and agreements required by the Security Documents to create or perfect the Liens for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes in the Collateral of such Restricted Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of clause (a), such supplemental indenture, joinders to the Security Documents or new Security Documents together with any other such filings and agreements shall be executed and delivered to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent within 20 Business Days after the date that such Indebtedness under the New Credit Agreement or the agreement governing such Certain Capital Markets Debt has been guaranteed or incurred by such Restricted Subsidiary.

(b) Each Note Guarantee will be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by that Restricted Subsidiary without rendering the Note Guarantee, as it relates to such Restricted Subsidiary, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and any other limitations customary for such guarantees in the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of the relevant Guarantor.

(c) Each Note Guarantee shall be released upon the terms and in accordance with the provisions of Article 10.

Section 4.15 Designation of Restricted Subsidiaries and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(a) After the Issue Date, the Company may designate any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if after giving effect to such designation on a Pro Forma Basis, no Event of Default would be in existence following such designation. If such Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments in such Restricted Subsidiary by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 or under one or more clauses of the definition of “Permitted Investments,” as determined by the Company. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at the time of designation and if such Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

136

(b) Any designation of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced by delivery to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the conditions above in this paragraph and was permitted by Section 4.07.

(c) The Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by the Company of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if

(1) such Indebtedness is permitted by Section 4.09, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable reference period; and (2) no Event of Default under Section 6.01(a)(2) or solely with respect to the Company, Sections 6.01(a)(6) or 6.01(a)(7) would be in existence following such designation. Any designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall be evidenced by delivery to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions of this paragraph and was permitted by Section 4.09.

Section 4.16 Changes in Covenants When Notes Rated Investment Grade.

(a) If on any date following the Issue Date:

(1) the Notes receive two of the following: a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s, a rating of BBB- or better by S&P or a rating of BBB- or better by Fitch (or, if any of such entity ceases to rate the Notes for reasons outside of the control of the Company, the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any other “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” registered under Section 15E of the Exchange Act selected by the Company as a replacement agency) (each an “Investment Grade Rating”);

(2) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the foregoing conditions have been satisfied;

then, beginning on that day and continuing at all times thereafter and subject to the provisions of Section 4.16(c), Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11 and 4.14 (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”) will be suspended.

(b) During any period that the Suspended Covenants have been suspended, the Board of Directors of the Company may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 4.15 unless the Board of Directors of the Company would have been able, under the terms of this Indenture, to designate such Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries if the Suspended Covenants were not suspended. Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, the failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period (including any action taken or omitted to be taken with respect thereto) will not give rise to a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture.

137

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Notes no longer have an Investment Grade Rating from two or more such rating agencies, the Suspended Covenants will be reinstituted as of and from the date of such rating decline (any such date, a “Reversion Date”). The period of time between the suspension of covenants as set forth above and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.” All Indebtedness incurred and Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been incurred or issued in reliance on the exception provided by Section 4.09(b)(2) Calculations under the reinstated Section 4.07 will be made as if Section 4.07 had been in effect prior to but not during the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will not reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a). For purposes of determining compliance with Section 4.10, the Excess Proceeds from all Asset Sales not applied in accordance with Section 4.10 will be deemed to be reset to zero after the Reversion Date. In addition, for purposes of Section 4.11, all agreements and arrangements entered into by the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with an Affiliate of the Company during the Suspension Period prior to such Reversion Date will be deemed to have been entered pursuant to Section 4.11(b)(12), and for purposes of Section 4.08, all contracts entered into during the Suspension Period prior to such Reversion Date that contain any of the restrictions contemplated by such covenant will be deemed to have been entered pursuant to Section 4.08(b)(1). In addition, the obligation to grant further Note Guarantees under Section 4.14 shall be suspended.

(d) In addition, this Indenture will also permit, without causing a Default or Event of Default, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to honor, comply with or otherwise perform any contractual commitments to take actions following a Reversion Date; provided that such contractual commitments were entered into during the Suspension Period and not in contemplation of a reversion of the Suspended Covenants.

(e) The Company shall notify the Trustee indicating the occurrence of any Suspension Period or Reversion Date. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the ratings of the Notes and shall have no obligation to independently determine or verify if such events have occurred or notify the Holders of Notes of any Suspension Period or Reversion Date. The Company may provide a copy of such notice to any Holder of Notes upon request.

(f) For purposes of Section 4.14, any Person that is required to become a Guarantor because it has become a borrower under the New Credit Agreement or guarantees the New Credit Agreement Obligations during the Suspension Period shall provide a Note Guarantee within 30 days of the Reversion Date.

(g) The Trustee shall have no obligation to monitor the ratings of the Notes, independently determine or verify if a Suspension Period or Reversion Date has occurred or notify the Holders of Notes of any Suspension Period or Reversion Date.

138

(b) Subject to Section 12.01 and any other limitations and exceptions as set forth in this Indenture and any Security Document (including that certain actions will be required to be taken, or the deadline to take such actions may be extended, if the New Credit Agreement Agent exercises its discretion to forgo any such action or extend any such deadline), if (i) any Material Real Property is acquired by the Company or any Guarantor after the Issue Date or (ii) any Person that becomes a Guarantor after the Issue Date owns any Material Real Property, in each case, not constituting Excluded Assets, the Company or Guarantor (as applicable) (x) shall, within 120 days after acquisition of such Material Real Property, provide written notice to the Collateral Agent of its intent to pledge such Material Real Property and (y) deliver to the Collateral Agent (A) counterparts of a Mortgage with respect to each Mortgaged Property duly executed and delivered by the Company and Guarantor and corresponding UCC fixture filings, (B) a title insurance policy or a marked-up and signed pro forma thereof for such property available in each applicable jurisdiction (the “Mortgage Policies”) insuring the Lien of each such Mortgage as a valid first priority perfected security interest (subject to Permitted Liens), together with such endorsements, coinsurance and reinsurance as are available at commercially reasonable rates in each applicable jurisdiction and in such amounts which approximate (but need not exceed) the fair market value of the applicable Material Real Property, (C) either ALTA surveys or such existing surveys (together with no change affidavits), in each case prepared by a land surveyor duly registered and licensed in the state in which the Material Real Property described in such surveys is located and sufficient for the title company to remove all standard survey exceptions from the Mortgage Policies and issue the endorsements required in clause (B) above to the extent such coverage and endorsements are available in the applicable jurisdictions at commercially reasonable rates, (D) copies of any existing abstracts and existing appraisals and (E) opinions of local counsel to the Company or Guarantor in states in which the Mortgaged Property is located confirming the enforceability and perfection of the Mortgages and any related fixture filings.

(9) with respect to any Collateral having a Fair Market Value in excess of $100.0 million, any of the Security Documents shall for any reason not be or shall cease to be in full force and effect or is declared to be null and void (other than pursuant to the terms thereof or as a result of the failure of the Collateral Agent to maintain control over possessory collateral actually received by it), any Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent in any such Collateral purported to be covered by any of the Security Documents shall be invalid or not perfected except as expressly permitted by the terms hereof or thereof (other than the failure of the Collateral Agent to maintain control over possessory collateral actually received by it), any Lien subordination provision in respect of such Collateral shall be determined to be invalid or the Company or any Guarantor terminates or repudiates in writing or rescinds any Security Document executed by it or any of its obligations thereunder.

(b) However, a Default under Sections 6.01(a)(3), 6.01(a)(4) or 6.01(a)(5) will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or, subject to Section 9.03, the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Company of the Default and, with respect to Sections 6.01(a)(3) and 6.01(a)(5), the Company does not cure such Default within the time specified in Sections 6.01(a)(3) or 6.01(a)(5) after receipt of such notice; provided that a notice of Default may not be given with respect to any action taken, and reported publicly or to Holders, more than two years prior to such notice of Default.

143

Section 6.02 Acceleration.

(a) In the case of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(a)(6) or 6.01(a)(7) with respect to either the Company, any Domestic Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding principal of the Notes and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or, subject to Section 9.03, the Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Company (with a copy to the Trustee if given by Holders of Notes) may declare all outstanding principal of the Notes and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, to be due and payable immediately.

(b) Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any.

(c) In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as a result of the acceleration of any Indebtedness described in Section 6.01(a)(4) (excluding any resulting payment default under this Indenture or the Notes), the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if the Holders of all Indebtedness described in Section 6.01(a)(4) have rescinded the declaration of acceleration in respect of such Indebtedness within 30 days of the date of such declaration of acceleration of the Notes, and if the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, and all existing Events of Default, except non-payment of principal or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived and all amounts owing to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent have been paid.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies.

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

(b) 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.

144

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.

(a) By written notice to the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Additional Notes) at the time of such written notice is given may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, except a continuing Default or Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(a)(1) or 6.01(a)(2) (except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes).

(b) If a Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another default (the “Initial Default”) occurs, then at the time such Initial Default is cured, such Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another default that resulted solely because of that Initial Default will also be cured without any further action. Any Default or Event of Default for the failure to comply with the time periods prescribed in Section 4.03 or otherwise to deliver any notice or certificate pursuant to any other provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to be cured upon the delivery of any such report required by such covenant or such notice or certificate, as applicable, even though such delivery is not within the prescribed period specified in this Indenture. Any time period in this Indenture to cure any actual or alleged Default or Event of Default may be extended or stayed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 6.05 Control by Majority.

Subject to Section 9.03 and the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee or the Collateral Agent. However, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law, this Indenture or the Security Documents, that the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes (it being understood that neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent has an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such directions are unduly prejudicial to other Holders) or that may involve the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in personal liability. The Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent which is not inconsistent with such direction.

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

In case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent will be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any Holders of Notes unless such Holders have offered, and if requested, provided to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, indemnity or security satisfactory to each of the Trustee and Collateral Agent, as applicable, against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, when due, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture, the Notes or any Note Guarantee unless:

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

145

(2) subject to Section 9.03, Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to pursue the remedy;

(3) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, against any loss, liability or expense;

(4) the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, does not comply with such request within 60 days after receipt of the notice, 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 do not give the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, 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 of, premium on, if any, or interest on, the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Note (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control Offer), 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 Sections 6.01(a)(1) or 6.01(a)(2) occurs and is continuing, each of the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any Guarantor for the whole amount of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the compensation, reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of each of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, their agents and their respective counsel.

Section 6.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

If any of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been determined or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings or any other proceedings, the Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies hereunder of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

146

Section 6.10 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the compensation, reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel), the Collateral Agent (including any claim for the compensation, reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Collateral Agent, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims or pursuant to the Security Documents 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 each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent any amount due to it for the compensation, reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee and the Collateral Agent under Section 7.06. 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 7.06 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, composition or proposal 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 6.11 Priorities.

Subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements, if the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, including upon exercises of remedies on the Collateral, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First: to each of the Trustee, each Agent and the Collateral Agent (including any predecessor Trustee, Agent or Collateral Agent), their agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.06, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee, such Agent or the Collateral Agent and the costs and expenses of collection;

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

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

147

The Trustee, upon written notice to the Company, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.11.

Section 6.12 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 the 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 and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.12 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee.

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

(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not investigate or confirm the accuracy of the mathematical calculations or other facts contained therein).

(g) The Trustee shall not be required to give any note, bond or surety in respect of the trusts and powers under this Indenture.

(j) Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee described in Section 4.03 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s or the Guarantors’ compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on Officer’s Certificates). The Trustee is under no duty to examine such reports, information or documents to ensure compliance with the provision of this Indenture or to ascertain the correctness or otherwise of the information or the statements contained therein.

(o) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any fact or matter unless such fact or matter is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee.

(p) Whenever in the administration of this Indenture or the Notes the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder or thereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith or willful misconduct on its part conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate.

(q) The permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein and under the Security Documents shall not be construed as duties of the Trustee.

(r) The permissive rights of the Trustee to take certain actions under or pursuant to this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty and, with respect to such permissive rights, the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The rights and powers conferred on the Trustee and the Collateral Agent under the Security Documents with respect to the Collateral are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral under this Indenture and the Security Documents and shall not be construed to impose any duty upon the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to exercise any such rights or powers. No permitted exercise of any rights or powers by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent under the Note Documents shall in any way be construed as an assumption of any obligation under the UCC by the Trustee under any circumstance if such obligation is not reflected in the express terms of this Indenture.

Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee.

Each of the Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.09 and 7.10.

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee will send to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after the Trustee obtains actual knowledge thereof. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of the Trustee’s Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

It is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that, in doing so, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent are not responsible for the terms or contents of such agreements, or for the validity or enforceability thereof, or the sufficiency thereof for any purpose. Whether or not so expressly stated therein, in entering into, or taking (or forbearing from) any action under, the Intercreditor Agreements or any other Security Documents, each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights, immunities, indemnities and other protections granted to it under this Indenture (in addition to those that may be granted to it under the terms of such other agreement or agreements).

Section 7.11 Anti-Money Laundering.

The Trustee shall retain the right not to act and shall not be liable for refusing to act if, due to a lack of information or for any other reason whatsoever, the Trustee, in their sole judgment, determine that such act might cause them to be in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financings or economic sanctions legislation, regulation or guideline. Further, should the Trustee, in their sole judgment, determine at any time that their acting under this Indenture has resulted in their being in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing or economic sanctions legislation, regulation or guideline, then they shall have the right to resign on 10 days’ written notice to the Company, provided the (i) the Trustee’s written notice shall describe the circumstances of such non-compliance, and (ii) if such circumstances are rectified to the Trustee’s satisfaction within such 10-day period, then such resignation shall not be effective.

Section 7.12 Limitation on Duty of Trustee and Collateral Agent in Respect of Collateral; Indemnification.

(a) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee or Collateral Agent in good faith.

155

(b) Neither Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee and Collateral Agent, as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Company to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Indenture or the Security Documents by the Company or the Guarantors.

ARTICLE 8

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

The Company may at any time, at the option of the Board of Directors of the Company evidenced by resolutions set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 applied to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) 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 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and each of the Guarantors, if any, will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, 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, if any, 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 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 Note Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments 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 on, if any, and interest, if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04;

(2) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Sections 2.06, 2.07 and 4.02;

(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, indemnities and immunities of the Trustee under this Indenture, and the Company’s and the Guarantors’, if any, obligations in connection therewith (including without limitation, those contained in Article 7); and

156

(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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under Section 7.06 shall survive a Legal Defeasance.

Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14 and 4.15 and Section 5.01(a)(3) with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), the Note Guarantees will be released pursuant to Section 10.05 and the Notes and Note Guarantees 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 and the Note Guarantees 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, if any, 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, 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 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, Sections 6.01(a)(3) (to the extent relating to the covenants that are subject to Covenant Defeasance), 6.01(a)(4), 6.01(a)(5), 6.01(a)(8) and 6.01(a)(9) will not constitute Events of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under Section 7.06 shall survive a Covenant Defeasance.

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:

(1) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars in an amount, non-callable Government Securities, the scheduled payments of principal of and interest thereon will be in an amount, or a combination thereof in amounts, as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the outstanding Notes to the stated date for payment thereof or to the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and all

157

interest, if any, accrued to such dates, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date, provided that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purpose of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit at the date of redemption (any such amount, the “Applicable Premium Deficit”) only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of redemption. Any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption (it being understood that any defeasance shall be subject to the condition subsequent that such deficit is in fact paid and the Trustee shall have no liability whatsoever in the event that such Applicable Premium Deficit is not in fact paid after any Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance);

(2) in the case of an election under Section 8.02, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee 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 U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(3) in the case of an election under Section 8.03, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same time, as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(4) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness), and the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings);

(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 either of the Company or any of the Guarantors is a party or by which the Company or any of the Guarantors is bound;

(6) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders 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

158

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

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

Subject to Section 8.06, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.04 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 either of 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, if any, 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 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.

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 them as provided in Section 8.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a)(1)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.06 Repayment to the Company.

Subject to applicable law, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its 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.

159

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, 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, the Notes, the Security Documents and the Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Sections 8.02 or 8.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent are permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Sections 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, 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.

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holder of Notes.

(a) Except as provided in Section 9.01 and this Section 9.02, this Indenture (including the form of agreements attached thereto as exhibits), the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Security Documents (including the form of agreements attached thereto as exhibits) may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes other than the Notes beneficially owned by the Company or its Affiliates (including, without limitation, Additional Notes treated as the same class as the Initial 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, the Notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default under Sections 6.01(a)(1) or 6.01(a)(2), except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or

162

compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees or the Security Documents may be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes subject to Section 2.09 (including, without limitation, Additional Notes treated as the same class as the Initial Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes); provided that (x) if any such amendment or waiver will only affect one series of Notes (or less than all series of Notes) then outstanding under this Indenture, then only the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding (including, in each case, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes) shall be required and (y) if any such amendment or waiver by its terms will affect a series of Notes in a manner different and materially adverse relative to the manner such amendment or waiver affects other series of Notes, then the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of such adversely affected series then outstanding (including, in each case, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes) shall be required. Sections 2.08 and 2.09 shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02.

(b) Upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Sections 9.06, 13.02 and 13.03, the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, will join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture, or amendment or supplement of such Note Guarantee, Security Document or other instrument unless such amended or supplemental indenture, amendment or supplement of such Note Guarantee, Security Document or other instrument directly affects the Trustee’s and/or the Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, own rights, protection, indemnities, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture, Security Document or other instrument.

(c) 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. A consent to any amendment or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder of Notes given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Notes will not be rendered invalid by such tender.

(d) In executing any waiver, amendment, or supplemental indenture, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive and fully protected in relying upon an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all covenants and conditions precedent to such waiver, amendment or supplement have been complied with, that such waiver, amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and the Security Documents, and, with respect to such Opinion of Counsel, that the amendment or supplement constitutes our legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against us in accordance with its terms.

163

(e) 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 either attaching a copy thereof or 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, 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 or Guarantors with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or any Note Guarantees. However, without the consent of each Holder of Notes 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 alter or waive any of the provisions relating to the dates on which the Notes may be redeemed (other than altering or waiving any of the provisions relating to the dates for the redemption periods set forth in this Indenture to the extent that such alteration or waiver does not adversely affect the Holders of the Notes) or the redemption price thereof with respect to the redemption of the Notes (other than provisions relating to Change of Control and Asset Sales);

(3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any Note (other than provisions relating to Change of Control and Asset Sales);

(4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, 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 anything other than U.S. dollars;

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

(7) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions which require each Holder’s consent.

(f) In addition, without the consent of the Holders of at least 66²⁄₃% in principal amount of Notes then outstanding, no amendment, supplement or waiver may modify any Security Document, the Intercreditor Agreements or the provisions in this Indenture dealing with the Collateral or the Security Documents that would have the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents (except as permitted by the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements) or change or alter the priority of the Liens in the Collateral.

164

Section 9.03 Net Short Holders.

In connection with any determination as to whether the requisite Holders have (A) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Indenture, any Security Document or any Intercreditor Agreement or any departure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees, any Security Document or any Intercreditor Agreement or (C) directed or required the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to, or under, this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees, any Security Document or any Intercreditor Agreement, any Holder (or any Affiliate of such Person (provided that for purposes of this paragraph, Affiliates shall not include Persons that are subject to customary procedures to prevent the sharing of confidential information between such Holders and such Person and such Person is managed having independent fiduciary duties to the investors or other equityholders of such Person)) (other than any Holder that is a Regulated Bank) that, as a result of its (or its Affiliates’) interest in any total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative contract (other than any such total return swap, total rate of return swap, credit default swap or other derivative contract entered into pursuant to bona fide market making activities), has a net short position on the date, if any, that such Holder consents to such amendment, modification or waiver or takes an action of the type specified in clause (B) or (C) above (such later date, the “date of determination”) with respect to the Notes or with respect to any other tranche, class or series of Indebtedness for borrowed money incurred or issued by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries on such date of determination (including commitments with respect to any revolving credit facility) (each such item of Indebtedness, including the Notes, “Specified Indebtedness”) (each such Holder, a “Net Short Holder”) shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Holder without discretion in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Holders who are not Net Short Holders (including in any plan of reorganization). For purposes of determining whether a Holder (alone or together with its Affiliates) has a “net short position” on any date of determination: (i) derivative contracts with respect to any Specified Indebtedness and such contracts that are the functional equivalent thereof shall be counted at the notional amount of such contract in Dollars, (ii) notional amounts in other currencies shall be converted to the Dollar equivalent thereof by such Holder in a commercially reasonable manner consistent with generally accepted financial practices and based on the prevailing conversion rate (determined on a mid-market basis) on the date of determination, (iii) derivative contracts in respect of an index that includes the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any instrument issued or guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be deemed to create a short position with respect to such Specified Indebtedness, so long as (x) such index is not created, designed, administered or requested by such Holder or its Affiliates and (y) the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries and any instrument issued or guaranteed by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, collectively, shall represent less than 5% of the components of such index, (iv) derivative transactions that are documented using either the 2014 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions or the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions (collectively, the “ISDA CDS Definitions”) shall be deemed to create a short position with respect to the relevant Specified Indebtedness if such Holder or its Affiliates is a protection buyer or the equivalent thereof for such derivative transaction and (x) the relevant Specified Indebtedness is a “Reference Obligation” under the terms of such derivative transaction (whether specified by name in the related documentation, included as a “Standard Reference Obligation” on the most recent list published by Markit, if “Standard Reference Obligation” is specified as

applicable in the relevant documentation or in any other manner), (y) the relevant Specified Indebtedness would be a “Deliverable Obligation” under the terms of such derivative transaction or (z) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is designated as a “Reference Entity” under the terms of such derivative transaction, and (v) credit derivative transactions or other derivatives transactions not documented using the ISDA CDS Definitions shall be deemed to create a short position with respect to any Specified Indebtedness if such transactions offer the Holder or its Affiliates protection against a decline in the value of such Specified Indebtedness, or in the credit quality of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in each case, other than as part of an index so long as (x) such index is not created, designed, administered or requested by such Holder or its Affiliates and (y) the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, and any instrument issued or guaranteed by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, collectively, shall represent less than 5% of the components of such index. In connection with any amendment, modification or waiver of this Indenture, any Security Document or any Intercreditor Agreement, each Holder (other than any Holder that is a Regulated Bank) will be deemed to have represented to the Company, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent that it does not constitute a Net Short Holder, in each case, unless such Holder shall have notified the Company, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent prior to the requested response date with respect to such amendment, modification or waiver that it constitutes a Net Short Holder (it being understood and agreed that the Company, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely on each such representation and deemed representation). In no event shall the Trustee or the Collateral Agent be obligated to ascertain, calculate, monitor, inquire or otherwise make any determination as to whether any Holder is a Net Short Holder. None of the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any liability to the Company, Guarantor, Holder, beneficial holder or any other person in connection with determinations related to or actions taken or deemed to be taken by Net Short Holders. In any case in which the Holder is DTC or its nominee, each beneficial owner of the Notes agrees to notify DTC if it is a Net Short Holder and DTC shall be entitled to conclusively rely thereon in delivering its consent to any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees, any Security Document or any Intercreditor Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any direction, consent or waiver delivered to it in accordance with this Indenture, shall have no duty to inquire as to or investigate the accuracy of any position representation, enforce compliance with any net short covenants, verify any statements in any delivered to it, or otherwise make calculations, investigations or determinations with respect to Net Short Holders. Neither the Trustee not the Collateral Agent shall have any liability to the Company, any Holder or any other Person in acting in good faith on a direction, consent or waiver delivered to it.

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 on which the Trustee receives an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented (and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

166

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement, or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement, or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date unless the consent of the requisite number of Holders has been obtained.

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 to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, will sign any amended or supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement of the Notes, any Note Guarantee, any Security Document or other instrument, authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, protections, indemnities, obligations, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement of the Notes, any Note Guarantee, any Security Document or other instrument, the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.02, except as specified in Section 9.01(b), an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement of the Notes, any Note Guarantee, any Security Document or other instrument, is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and to the extent applicable, the Security Documents and that such supplemental indenture or amendment or supplement of the Notes, any Note Guarantee, any Security Document or other instrument, constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions.

167

ARTICLE 10

NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 10.01 Guarantee.

(a) Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors that executes this Indenture or a supplemental indenture hereto, from and after the date of such execution, jointly and severally, irrevocably, fully and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and their successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents 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 or the Trustee or the Collateral Agent under the Indenture, the Security Documents and the Notes will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (including, without limitation, interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, receivership or like proceeding, relating to the Company or any Guarantor whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding and the obligations under Section 7.06); 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 Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their 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, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by law) diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01.

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

168

(d) Each 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.

(e) Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 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, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors 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 under the Note Guarantee.

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 of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance or transfer at undervalue for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal, state, provincial or territorial law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors 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.

Section 10.03 Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.

To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture or a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit D hereto 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 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 a supplemental indenture hereto 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.

169

In the event that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries creates or acquires any Wholly-Owned Domestic Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date, if required by Section 4.14, the Company will cause such Wholly-Owned Domestic Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.14 and this Article 10, to the extent applicable.

Neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required to make a notation on the Notes to reflect a Note Guarantee or any release, termination or discharge thereof.

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

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

(1) subject to Section 10.05, the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving or continuing following any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger unconditionally assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under its Note Guarantee and this Indenture, on the terms set forth therein or herein, pursuant to a supplemental indenture; or

(2) such sale, other disposition, consolidation, amalgamation or merger is permitted and the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition if any and if required are applied in accordance with, in each case, the applicable provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation, Section 4.10.

(b) In case of any such consolidation, merger, amalgamation, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form 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.

(c) This Section 10.04 will not apply to (i) any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of assets between or among the Company and/or any Guarantor, (ii) any consolidation, amalgamation or other combination or merger of a Guarantor with or into an Affiliate for purpose of changing the legal domicile of such Guarantor, reincorporating such or changing the legal form of such Guarantor in another jurisdiction so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby, (iii) any consolidation, amalgamation or other combination, merger or transfer of all or part of the properties and assets of any Restricted Subsidiary to or with any of the Company or Guarantors, (iv) any consolidation, amalgamation or other combination, merger or transfer of all or part of the properties and assets of any Restricted Subsidiary to or with any other Restricted Subsidiary and (v) the Transactions or, any Permitted Reorganization.

170

Section 10.05 Releases.

A Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon:

(1) the sale, exchange, disposition or other transfer (including through merger, arrangement, amalgamation or consolidation) of (x) the Capital Stock of such Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) either the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, if after such transaction the Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary, or (y) all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor if such sale, exchange, disposition or other transfer is made in compliance with this Indenture and such entity is not a guarantor or a borrower (if applicable) of the New Credit Agreement Obligations (or is contemporaneously released therefrom);

(2) the Company designating such Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions set forth under Section 4.07 and the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary;”

(3) in the case of any Restricted Subsidiary that after the Issue Date is required to guarantee the Notes pursuant Section 4.14, the release or discharge of the Indebtedness incurred by or the guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness that gave rise to such guarantee whether such release or discharge occurs upon any action, event, circumstance or occurrence in accordance with the terms thereof or the repayment of the Indebtedness, in each case, that resulted in the obligation to guarantee the Notes, except if a release or discharge is by or as a result of payment in connection with the enforcement of remedies under such other guarantee or Indebtedness (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement is still considered a release and that if any such guarantee is so reinstated, such Note Guarantee shall also be reinstated to the extent that such Guarantor would then be required to provide a Note Guarantee pursuant Section 4.14);

(4) in the case of any Guarantor that becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of the Company under the New Credit Agreement whether such release or discharge occurs upon any action, event, circumstance or occurrence in accordance with the terms thereof or the repayment of the Indebtedness, in each case, under the New Credit Agreement and any other then-outstanding Certain Capital Markets Debt, except if a release or discharge is by or as a result of payment in connection with the enforcement of remedies under such other guarantee or Indebtedness (except to the extent that such Guarantor would then be required to provide a Note Guarantee pursuant Section 4.14);

171

(5) the Company’s exercise of its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option as described under Article 8, or if the Company’s Obligations under this Indenture are discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(6) such Guarantor ceasing to be a guarantor (or borrower, if applicable) under the New Credit Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case, other than pursuant to a repayment or refinancing of the New Credit Agreement, as applicable (other than in connection with the termination or payoff of the New Credit Agreement, as applicable) (except to the extent that such Guarantor would then be required to provide a Note Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.14); and

(7) with the consent of the Holders in accordance with Section 9.02.

At the request of the Company, and upon delivery to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such release complies with this Indenture and all covenants and conditions precedent thereto have been complied with, the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments reasonably requested by the Company evidencing such release of a Guarantor from its Note Guarantee (it being understood that the failure to obtain any such instrument shall not impair any automatic release pursuant to this Section 10.05).

Section 10.06 Independent Obligation.

As an original and independent obligation, each Guarantor shall (i) indemnify the Trustee and Holder and their successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns and keep the Trustee and Holders indemnified against all costs, losses, expenses and liabilities of whatever kind resulting from the failure by the Company, or any of them, to make due and punctual payment of any of the obligations guaranteed under this Article 10 or resulting from any of such obligations being or becoming void, voidable, unenforceable or ineffective against any Company or Guarantor (including, but without limitation, all legal and other costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Trustee or Holders, or any of them, in connection with preserving or enforcing, or attempting to preserve or enforce, its rights under this Article 10); and (ii) pay on demand the amount of such costs, losses, expenses and liabilities whether or not any of the Trustee or Holders has attempted to enforce any rights against any Company or Guarantor or any other Person or otherwise.

ARTICLE 11

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 11.01 Satisfaction and Discharge.

(a) This Indenture and the Security Documents will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder (except for certain surviving rights of the Trustee and Collateral Agent), when:

(1) either:

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

172

(B) all such Notes have become due and payable at final maturity or by reason of the sending of a notice of redemption or will become due and payable within one year or will be redeemed within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of a notice of redemption in the name and at the expense of the Company and 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, (i) cash in U.S. dollars in an amount, (ii) non-callable Government Securities, the scheduled payments of principal of and interest thereon will be in an amount, or (iii) a combination thereof in amounts, as will be sufficient (in case Government Securities have been deposited, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants certified in writing to the Trustee), without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on such Notes for principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the Notes to the date of maturity or redemption; provided that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any Applicable Premium Deficit only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of redemption. Any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption (it being understood that any satisfaction and discharge shall be subject to the condition subsequent that such deficit is in fact paid), provided that the Trustee shall have no liability whatsoever in the event that such Applicable Premium Deficit is not in fact paid after any satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture; the Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and

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

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

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the Company’s and Guarantors’ obligations to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 7.06 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge, and if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Section 11.02 and Section 8.06 hereof shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

173

Section 11.02 Application of Trust Money.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 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 either of the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 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; 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 their 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.

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 11.01 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.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 11 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 11.01 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect a discharge in accordance with this Article 11.

ARTICLE 12

COLLATERAL

Section 12.01 The Collateral.

From and after the Issue Date, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and the Note Guarantees when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an interest payment date, at maturity, by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise, interest on the overdue principal of and interest (to the extent permitted by law), if any, on the Notes and the Note Guarantees and performance of all other obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Indenture, and the Notes and the Security Documents, shall be secured as provided in the Security Documents (upon the entry into such documents), which will define the terms of the Liens that secure the Notes Obligations, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements. The Company and the Guarantors hereby agree that the Collateral

174

Agent shall hold the Collateral in trust for its benefit and for the benefit of all of the Holders and the Trustee, in each case pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, and the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and deliver the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements. Each Holder, by its acceptance of any Notes, consents and agrees to the terms of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements (including the provisions providing for the possession, use, release and foreclosure of Collateral) as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and this Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreements, and authorizes and directs each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to enter into the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements on the Issue Date, and at any time after the Issue Date, and to perform its respective obligations and exercise its respective rights thereunder in accordance therewith. The Collateral Agent, the Trustee and each Holder, by accepting the Notes and the Note Guarantees, acknowledges that, as more fully set forth in the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, the Collateral as now or hereafter constituted shall be held for the benefit of all the Holders, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee, and that the Lien of this Indenture and the Security Documents in respect of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Holders is subject to and qualified and limited in all respects by the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and actions that may be taken thereunder.

From and after the Issue Date, subject to the limitations set forth in the Security Documents, the Company and each of the Guarantors will execute, deliver and file, if applicable any and all documents, financing statements, financing change statements, registrations, agreements and instruments, and take all action that may be reasonably required under applicable law (including the filing of continuation financing statements and amendments to financing statements or equivalent Canadian financing statements or registrations), or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Security Documents in the Collateral, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements.

So long as the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement is in effect and prior to the repayment in full of the New Credit Agreement Obligations, if the New Credit Agreement Agent grants an extension of time pursuant to a provision in the New Credit Agreement that is substantially similar to the corresponding provisions of the definition of “Excluded Assets” or exercises its discretion under the New Credit Agreement to determine that any Subsidiary of the Company shall be excluded from any of the requirements of the New Credit Agreement requiring a Subsidiary to become a Guarantor, or that any property shall be excluded from the Collateral by falling within the definition of “Excluded Asset” (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) or otherwise excluded from the Collateral, or that any action is not required to be taken to perfect a security interest in such property (or any applicable deadline will be extended), the Collateral Agent shall automatically be deemed to accept such determination under this Indenture and the Security Documents with respect to the Notes Obligations and shall execute any documentation requested by the Company, in connection therewith, in each case, other than pursuant to a repayment or refinancing of the New Credit Agreement. The Company shall provide written notice (which may be by e-mail) to the Collateral Agent certifying as to any such determination made by the New Credit Agreement Agent which shall be binding upon the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Security Documents.

175

Section 12.02 Release of Collateral.

(a) The Liens securing the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged under any one or more of the following circumstances:

(1) to enable the Company or a Guarantor to consummate the sale, transfer or other disposition (including by the termination of capital leases or the repossession of the leased property in a capital lease by the lessor) of such property or assets (to a Person that is not the Company or a Guarantor) to the extent not prohibited under Section 4.10;

(2) upon the release of a Guarantor from its Note Guarantee pursuant to this Indenture;

(3) in respect of the property, assets and Capital Stock of a Guarantor, upon designation of such Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(4) to the extent such Collateral otherwise becomes Excluded Assets;

(5) as described under Article 9;

(6) upon any release or termination of the Lien on any Shared Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations for which the Controlling Collateral Agent acts as Authorized Representative other than (x) pursuant to a repayment or refinancing of such First Lien Obligations or (y) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default with respect to any First Lien Obligations for which the Controlling Collateral Agent does not act as Authorized Representative;

(7) in whole or in part, if the New Credit Agreement Agent releases or will release its Lien on such Collateral concurrently therewith, unless such release occurs in connection with a discharge in full in cash of the New Credit Agreement Obligations, which discharge is not in connection with a foreclosure of, or other exercise of remedies with respect to, Collateral by the New Credit Agreement Agent;

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

(9) upon a legal defeasance or covenant defeasance under this Indenture as described under Article 8 or upon the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as described under Article 11; or

(10) as otherwise provided for in any Intercreditor Agreement.

176

The Holders also irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent (a) to enter into and sign for and on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties, the Security Documents (including any subordination or intercreditor agreements with respect to Indebtedness and Liens permitted under this Indenture) for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties and (b) to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by clause (6) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” to the extent required by the holder of, or pursuant to the terms of any agreement governing, the obligations secured by such Liens.

(b) In each case described in the foregoing paragraph, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such action is permitted by this Indenture, the Security Documents and all covenants and conditions precedent to such action have been complied with, the Collateral Agent will, at the Company’s expense, execute and deliver to the Company or the applicable Guarantor such documents as the Company or such Guarantor may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the Lien granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Note Guarantee, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and applicable Security Documents. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any such release undertaken in good faith in reliance upon any such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, and notwithstanding any term hereof or in any Security Document to the contrary, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to execute and deliver any such instrument of release, satisfaction or termination, unless and until it receives such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel.

(c) The release of any Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents shall not be deemed to impair the security under this Indenture on any remaining Collateral or affect the Lien of this Indenture or the Security Documents on any remaining Collateral pursuant to this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements.

Section 12.03 Suits to Protect the Collateral.

Subject to the provisions of Article 7 and the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, the Trustee in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders, on behalf of the Holders, may or may direct the 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 Agreements, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have the power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as the Trustee 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 may in its sole discretion deem expedient 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 Collateral Agent.

177

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

Subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent are 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 Collateral Agent or the Trustee to execute the 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 the 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 shall be in the possession of the Collateral under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Trustee.

Section 12.07 Release Upon Termination of the Company’s Obligations.

In the event that the Company delivers to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate certifying that (i) payment in full of the principal of, together with accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes and all other Obligations under this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees and the Security Documents that were due and payable at or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, were paid, (ii) the Company shall have exercised its Legal Defeasance option or its Covenant Defeasance option, in each case in compliance with the provisions of Article 8, or (iii) the Company has discharged this Indenture and the Security Documents described under Article 11, and in each case, an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to such Legal Defeasance, Covenant Defeasance or discharge, as applicable, have been satisfied, the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall deliver to the Company a release of Lien in the Collateral without recourse, representations or warranties and shall do or cause to be done (at the expense of the Company) all acts reasonably requested of them to promptly release such Lien.

178

Section 12.08 Collateral Agent.

(a) The Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby designates and appoints the Collateral Agent as its agent under this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and the Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and consents and agrees to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements 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. In acting under this Indenture, the Security Documents or any Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall have all the same rights, privileges, indemnities and immunities provided hereunder and in the Security Documents and shall have all the same rights, privileges, indemnities and immunities as the Trustee set forth in Article 7 of this Indenture to the extent not otherwise expressly set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Collateral Agent hereunder, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified prior to taking action, shall survive the satisfaction, discharge or termination of this Indenture or its earlier termination, resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent, in such capacity. The Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 12.08. Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provision of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents, and the exercise by the 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 Agreements, the duties of the Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements to which the Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder or any Grantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the 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.

(b) The Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties under this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements 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 and branches (a “Related Person”), and shall be entitled to advice of counsel 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 legal counsel. The 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 with due care.

179

(c) None of the Collateral Agent or any of its respective Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or under or in connection with any Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby (except to the extent that 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), 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 Grantor (as defined in a Security Agreement or similar term used in a Security Agreement) or Affiliate of any Grantor, or any Officer or Related Person thereof, contained in this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, or for any failure of any Grantor or any other party to this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. None of the Collateral Agent or any of its respective Related Persons shall be under any obligation to the Trustee or any Holder to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements or to inspect the properties, books, or records of any Grantor or any Grantor’s Affiliates.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, 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 other Grantor), independent accountants and other experts and advisors selected by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document. The Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements unless it shall first receive such request, direction, instruction or consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes as it determines and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Holders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The 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 Agreements in accordance with a request, direction, instruction or consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (or such larger amount of Holders as required pursuant to Section 9.02) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders.

180

(e) The 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 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.” The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested in accordance with Article 6 by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (subject to this Section 12.08).

(f) The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notice to the Trustee (if the entity acting as the Trustee is not also acting as Collateral Agent hereunder) and the Company, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Collateral Agent. If the 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 Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Trustee, at the 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 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 Collateral Agent, and the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 12.08 (and Section 7.06) shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring 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 Collateral Agent under this Indenture. If the Collateral Agent consolidates, merges, converts into, sells or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to another corporation, such successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Collateral Agent.

(g) Regions Bank shall initially act as Collateral Agent and shall be authorized to appoint co-Collateral Agents as necessary in its sole discretion. Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein or in the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, neither the 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 Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the 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 determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any action taken, or errors in judgment made, in good faith by it or any of its officers, employees or agents, unless it shall have been grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

181

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

(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 Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, or (ii) payments from the 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 Collateral Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Collateral Agent such proceeds to be applied by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements. Any funds held on deposit by the Collateral Agent pending distribution shall be held on deposit under this Indenture without investment, and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability for interest or other compensation thereon.

(j) The 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 Uniform Commercial Code can be perfected only by possession. Should the Trustee obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon request from the Company, the Trustee shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof and promptly shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.

(k) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders and the Trustee shall have no obligation to the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Grantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to record or re-record or file or re-file any financing or continuation statements or amendments thereto or record any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfect or maintain the perfection of any Lien or security interest in the Collateral, or to determine whether all or the Grantor’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 value, genuineness, validity, ownership, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture, any Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreements other than pursuant to the instructions of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes or as otherwise provided in the Security Documents.

182

(l) If the Company or any Guarantor (i) incurs any obligations in respect of First Lien Obligations or Permitted Junior Lien Obligations at any time when no applicable intercreditor agreement is in effect or at any time when Indebtedness constituting First Lien Obligations or Permitted Junior Lien Obligations entitled to the benefit of an existing Intercreditor Agreement is concurrently retired, and (ii) delivers to the Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate so stating and requesting the Collateral Agent to enter into an intercreditor agreement (on substantially the same terms as the applicable Intercreditor Agreement) in favor of a designated agent or representative for the holders of the First Lien Obligations or Permitted Junior Lien Obligations so incurred, together with an Opinion of Counsel, the Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby authorized and directed to) enter into such intercreditor agreement (at the sole and reasonable expense and cost of the Company, including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel to the Collateral Agent), bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein and perform and observe its obligations thereunder; provided that neither an Officer’s Certificate nor an Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the applicable Intercreditor Agreements to be entered into by the Collateral Agent on the Issue Date.

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

(n) The Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements 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, (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Company 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 Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act.

(o) In no event shall the Collateral Agent 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.

183

(p) The Collateral Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Company or any other Grantor under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents. The 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 Agreements or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or any Security Document; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of the Intercreditor Agreements 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; 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 this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents. The 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 Agreements and the Security Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and any Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents unless expressly set forth hereunder or thereunder. The 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 Agreements.

(q) The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements, the Security Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents, the Collateral Agent or Trustee may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Collateral Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral. In the event that the Collateral Agent or the Trustee is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto which in the Collateral Agent’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, sole discretion may cause the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. §9601, et seq., or otherwise cause the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to incur liability under CERCLA or any other federal, state, provincial, territorial, local or foreign law, each of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee, as applicable, reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as the Collateral Agent

184

or the Trustee or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable to the Company, the Guarantors or any other Person for any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state, provincial, territorial, local or foreign law, rule or regulation by reason of the Collateral Agent or the Trustee’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to the discharge, release or threatened release of hazardous materials into the environment. If at any time it is necessary or advisable for property to be possessed, owned, operated or managed by any Person (including the Collateral Agent or the Trustee) other than the Company or the Guarantors, a majority in interest of Holders shall direct the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to appoint an appropriately qualified Person (excluding the Collateral Agent or the Trustee) who they shall designate to possess, own, operate or manage, as the case may be, the property.

(r) Upon the receipt by the Collateral Agent of a written request of the Company signed by an Officer (a “Security Document Order”), the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and enter into, and shall execute and enter into, without the further consent of any Holder or the Trustee, any Security Document to be executed after the Issue Date. Such Security Document Order shall (i) state that it is being delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to, and is a Security Document Order referred to in, this Section 12.08(r), and (ii) instruct the Collateral Agent to execute and enter into such Security Document and the Collateral Agent shall (without any obligation to review or negotiate the terms of such Security Document) sign any such Security Document. Any such execution of a Security Document shall be at the direction and expense of the Company, upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of the Security Document have been satisfied. The Holders, by their acceptance of the Notes, hereby authorize and direct the Collateral Agent to execute such Security Documents without risk of liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Collateral Agent be required to execute and enter into any such Security Document if the Collateral Agent determines in its reasonable discretion that such Security Document is reasonably likely to adversely affect any of the Collateral Agent’s rights, benefits, immunities, privileges or indemnities hereunder, require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or cause the Collateral Agent to incur any loss, liability or expense.

(s) Subject to the provisions of the applicable Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, agrees that the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreements 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 Collateral Agent shall have no discretion under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements 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, the Trustee or, as expressly set forth herein, the Company, as applicable, subject, in each case, to all the rights, protections, privileges, indemnities and immunities afforded the Collateral Agent and the Trustee hereunder and under the Security Documents. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary set forth herein, but subject to the provisions of Section 4.17 and Section 12.01 of this Indenture, whenever reference is made herein or in any Security Document to any discretionary action by, consent, designation, specification, requirement

185

or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the Collateral Agent or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by the Collateral Agent, unless the applicable action is permitted to be taken under this Indenture without the consent of the Holders (in which case the Collateral Agent may act at the direction of the Company), (i) such provision shall refer to the Collateral Agent exercising each of the foregoing at the instruction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (or such other number or percentage of Holders as may be required by the applicable provisions of this Indenture) and (ii) it is understood that in all cases, the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any such action if it shall not have received written instruction, advice or concurrence from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (or such other number or percentage of Holders as shall be expressly provided for by the applicable provisions of this Indenture) in respect of such action.

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

(u) The 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 Agreements and to the extent not prohibited under the Intercreditor Agreements, 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 6.11 and the other provisions of this Indenture.

(v) In each case that the Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder or under any Security Document or any Intercreditor Agreement 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 any Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent may seek direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. Subject to the provisions of Article IX, if the 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 Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, and the Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

(w) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or in any Security Document or any Intercreditor Agreement, in no event shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with respect to, (A) the recording, filing, registering, perfection, protection or maintenance of the Liens intended to be created by this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby (including without limitation the filing or continuation of any UCC

186

financing or continuation statements or similar registrations, documents or instruments), (B) the filing, re-filing, recording, re-recording or continuing of any document, financing statement, financing change statement, registration, mortgage, assignment, notice, instrument of further assurance or other instrument in any public office at any time or times or (C) providing, maintaining, monitoring or preserving insurance on or the payment of taxes with respect to the Collateral, nor shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, and neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee makes any representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness or priority of any of the Security Documents or the Liens intended to be created thereby. The actions described in items (A) through (C) shall be the sole responsibility of the Company.

(x) Before the Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting in each case at the request or direction of the Company or the Guarantors, it may require an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to the provisions of this Section 12.08 and Section 13.02.

The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture. Upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing, the Company is required to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default, its status and what action the Company and Guarantors propose to take with respect thereto.

Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.
