Section 1.06. Limited Condition Transactions. When calculating the availability under any basket, test or ratio under this Indenture or compliance with any provision of this Indenture in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction and any actions or transactions related thereto (including acquisitions, Investments, the incurrence, issuance or assumption of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock and the use of proceeds thereof, the incurrence or assumption of Liens, repayments, Restricted Payments, the designation of any Restricted Subsidiaries or Unrestricted Subsidiaries, Collateral Disposition and Asset Sales or any disposition, issuance or other transaction excluded from the definition of “Asset Sale”), in each case, at the option of the Issuer (the Issuer’s election to exercise such option, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination for availability under any such basket, test or ratio or whether any such action or transaction is permitted (or any requirement or condition therefor is complied with or satisfied (including as to the absence of any continuing Default or Event of Default)) under this Indenture shall be deemed to be the date (the “LCT Test Date”) either (a) the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (or, if applicable, the date of delivery of a notice, declaration or making of a Restricted Payment or similar event), or (b) solely in connection with an acquisition to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers or similar law or practices in other jurisdictions apply, the date on which a “Rule 2.7 announcement” of a firm intention to make an offer or similar announcement or determination in another jurisdiction subject to similar laws in respect of a target of a Limited Condition Transaction and, in each case, if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and any actions or transactions related thereto (including acquisitions, Investments, the incurrence, issuance or assumption of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock and the use of proceeds thereof, the incurrence or assumption of Liens, repayments, Restricted Payments, the designation of any Restricted Subsidiaries or Unrestricted Subsidiaries, Collateral Disposition and Asset Sales or any disposition, issuance or other transaction excluded from the definition of “Asset Sale”) and any related pro forma adjustments (disregarding for the purposes of such pro forma calculation any borrowing under a revolving credit or letter of credit facility), as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters ending prior to the LCT Test Date for which internal consolidated financial statements of the Issuer are available, the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries would have been permitted to take such actions or consummate such transactions on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket (and any related requirements and conditions), such ratio, test or basket (and any related requirements and conditions) shall be deemed to have been complied with (or satisfied) for all purposes (in the case of Indebtedness, for example, whether such Indebtedness is committed, issued or incurred at the LCT Test Date or at any time thereafter); provided, that (a) if financial statements for one or more subsequent fiscal quarters shall have become available, the Issuer may elect, in its sole discretion, to re-determine all such ratios, tests or baskets on the basis of such financial statements, in which case, such date of redetermination shall thereafter be deemed to be the applicable LCT Test Date for purposes of such ratios, tests or baskets, (b) except as contemplated in the foregoing clause (a), compliance with such ratios, tests or baskets (and any related requirements and conditions) shall not be determined or tested at any time after the applicable LCT Test Date for such Limited Condition Transaction and any actions or transactions related thereto (including acquisitions, Investments, the incurrence, issuance or assumption of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock and the use of proceeds thereof, the incurrence or assumption of Liens, repayments, Restricted Payments, the designation of any Restricted Subsidiaries or Unrestricted Subsidiaries, Collateral Disposition and Asset Sales or any disposition, issuance or other transaction excluded from the definition of “Asset Sale”) and (c) Consolidated Interest Expense for purposes of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio will be calculated using an assumed interest rate based on the indicative interest margin contained in any financing commitment documentation with respect to such Indebtedness or, if no such indicative interest margin exists, as reasonably determined by the Issuer in good faith.

-59-

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Issuer has made an LCT Election, (1) if any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would at any time after the LCT Test Date have been exceeded or otherwise failed to have been complied with as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in EBITDA or total assets of the Issuer or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded or failed to have been complied with as a result of such fluctuations; provided that if such ratios, tests or baskets improve as a result of such fluctuations, such improved ratios, tests and/or baskets may be utilized; (2) if any related requirements and conditions (including as to the absence of any continuing Default or Event of Default) for which compliance or satisfaction was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date would at any time after the LCT Test Date not have been complied with or satisfied (including due to the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default), such requirements and conditions will not be deemed to have been failed to be complied with or satisfied (and such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed not to have occurred or be continuing); and (3) in calculating the availability under any ratio, test or basket in connection with any action or transaction unrelated to such Limited Condition Transaction following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement, the date of notice or offer or date for redemption, purchase or repayment specified in a notice for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated, expires or passes, as applicable, without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio, test or basket shall be determined or tested giving pro forma effect to such Limited Condition Transaction and any actions or transactions related thereto.

In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Indenture which requires that no Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the Issuer, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default, as applicable, exists on the date of the definitive agreement, the date of notice or offer or date for redemption, purchase or repayment for such Limited Condition Transaction, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Issuer has exercised an LCT Election, and any Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default occurs following the date the definitive agreements (or, if applicable, the date of delivery of a notice, declaration or making of a Restricted Payment or similar event) for the applicable Limited Condition Transaction were entered into and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted under this Indenture.

Section 1.07. Certain Compliance Calculations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) is incurred, assumed or issued, any Lien is incurred or assumed, any Restricted Payment is made or other transaction is undertaken in reliance on a ratio basket based on the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or Consolidated Total Debt Ratio, such ratio(s) shall be calculated with respect to such incurrence, issuance or other transaction without giving effect to amounts being utilized under any other basket (other than a ratio basket based on the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or Consolidated Total Debt Ratio) on the same date. Each item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock that is incurred, assumed or issued, each Lien incurred and each other transaction undertaken will be deemed to have been incurred, assumed, issued or taken first, to the extent available, pursuant to the relevant Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or Consolidated Total Debt Ratio test. For the avoidance of doubt, when testing the availability under a ratio basket for purposes of making a Restricted Payment, Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) incurred, assumed or issued the proceeds of which are being utilized to make a Restricted Payment utilizing a non-ratio basket shall not be given effect.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) is incurred, assumed or issued, any Lien is incurred or assumed or other transaction is undertaken in reliance on a ratio basket based on the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or Consolidated Total Debt Ratio, such ratio(s) shall be calculated without regard to the incurrence of any Indebtedness under any revolving facility or letter of credit facility (1) immediately prior to or in connection therewith or (2) used to finance working capital needs of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries (as reasonably determined by the Issuer).

-60-

If a proposed action, matter, transaction or amount (or a portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one applicable basket, permission or threshold under this Indenture, the Issuer shall be entitled to divide or classify or later divide or reclassify (based on circumstances existing on the date of such reclassification) such action, matter, transaction or amount (or a portion thereof) between such baskets, permission or thresholds as it shall elect from time to time.

Any calculation, test or measure that is determined with reference to the Issuer’s financial statements (including EBITDA, Consolidated Interest Expense, Consolidated Net Income, Consolidated Total Debt Ratio, Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and Fixed Charges) may be determined with reference to the financial statements of a direct or indirect parent entity of the Issuer instead, so long as such calculation, test or measure would not differ by more than an immaterial amount when using the financial statements of such direct or indirect parent entity of the Issuer as compared to if such calculation, test or measure were made using the Issuer’s financial statements (as determined in good faith by the Issuer).

Any ratios, tests or baskets required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Indenture shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding up if there is no nearest number).

If the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary takes an action which at the time of the taking of such action would in the good faith determination of the Issuer be permitted under the applicable provisions of this Indenture based on the financial statements available at such time, such action shall be deemed to have been made in compliance with this Indenture notwithstanding any subsequent adjustments made in good faith to such financial statements affecting Consolidated Net Income, EBITDA or other applicable financial metric.

Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.08 hereof.

(c) Temporary Global Notes. Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee, as Custodian for the Depositary and registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary for the accounts of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided.

-61-

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

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

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

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

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

(e) Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. 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 shall be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Notes that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.

Section 2.02. Maturity Date.

(a) The Notes will mature on November 30, 2026 (the “Scheduled Maturity Date”) unless extended at the election of the Issuer to November 30, 2027 (the “Extended Maturity Date”) pursuant to the procedures set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 2.02.

(b) Upon not less than 30 days nor more than sixty days’ prior notice to the Holders delivered electronically or mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at such Holder’s registered address stated in the Note Register or otherwise in accordance with the Applicable Procedures (with a copy to the Trustee) (the “Extension Notice”), the Issuer shall be entitled to irrevocably elect to extend the Scheduled Maturity Date to the Extended Maturity Date. If the Issuer provides an Extension Notice, the Scheduled Maturity Date shall be extended to the Extended Maturity Date, solely to the extent (i) there is no Event of Default as of the Scheduled Maturity Date and (ii) the Issuer makes a payment on the Scheduled Maturity Date of a cash fee to Holders equal to $0.0025 per $1.00 principal amount of Notes outstanding immediately prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date (the “Extension Fee”).

(c) The Extension Notice shall (i) state that the Issuer is electing to extend the Scheduled Maturity Date to the Extended Maturity Date, (ii) reference this Section 2.02 pursuant to which the Extension Notice is being delivered and the CUSIP number and ISIN, if any, printed on the Notes and that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of any such CUSIP or, ISIN that is listed in such notice or printed on the Notes. The Extension Notice may include additional information. At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the Extension Notice in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense; provided that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least two Business Days, in the case of Global Notes, or five Business Days, in the case of Definitive Notes, before the Extension Notice is required to be delivered electronically, mailed or caused to be mailed to Holders pursuant to this Section 2.02 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such Extension Notice and attaching a copy of such Extension Notice setting forth the information as provided in the preceding sentence.

-62-

(d) Prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Scheduled Maturity Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the aggregate Extension Fee on all Notes outstanding as of the Scheduled Maturity Date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the aggregate Extension Fee on all Notes outstanding as of the Scheduled Maturity Date.

Section 2.03. Amortization Payment.

(a) The Issuer shall partially prepay, by means of a redemption, a portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes on November 15, 2025 (the “Amortization Payment Date”). The partial principal payment of the Notes shall be payable in cash on the Amortization Payment Date in an amount equal to $0.23 per $1.00 principal amount of Notes outstanding as of the Amortization Payment Date, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such portion of redeemed Notes to, but excluding, the Amortization Payment Date (the “Scheduled Amortization Payment”). The Scheduled Amortization Payment will be paid to the person in whose name the Note is registered as of 5:00 pm on November 14, 2025. In the event that the Notes are not in book-entry only form, the Issuer shall have the right to select a record date, which will be more than 14 days but less than 60 days prior to the Amortization Payment Date. The Scheduled Amortization Payment shall be implemented through a partial redemption.

(b) Amortization Payment Notice. The Issuer shall send electronically, mail or cause to be mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, a notice of redemption (the “Amortization Payment Notice”) for the Scheduled Amortization Payment at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Amortization Payment Date to each Holder of Notes at such Holder’s registered address stated in the Note Register or otherwise in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. The Amortization Payment Notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state: (i) the Amortization Payment Date; (ii) the Scheduled Amortization Payment, (iii) the name and address of the Paying Agent and that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Scheduled Amortization Payment; (iv) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making the Scheduled Amortization Payment, interest on Notes to be redeemed ceases to accrue on and after the Amortization Payment Date; (v) reference to the Section 2.03 pursuant to which the Notes are being redeemed; and (vi) the CUSIP number and ISIN, if any, printed on the Notes being redeemed and that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of any such CUSIP or, ISIN that is listed in such notice or printed on the Notes. In addition, the Amortization Payment Notice may include additional information at the Issuer’s option.

At the Issuer’s request, accompanied by a copy of the Amortization Payment Notice given at least two Business Days (or such lesser period as may be acceptable to the Trustee), in the case of Global Notes, or five Business Days (or such lesser period as may be acceptable to the Trustee), in the case of Definitive Notes before the Amortization Payment Notice is to be delivered, the Trustee shall give the Amortization Payment Notice in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense and no Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the Amortization Payment Notice.

(c) Effect of Amortization Payment Notice. The Amortization Payment Notice, if delivered electronically, mailed or caused to be mailed in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to deliver such Amortization Payment Notice or any defect in the Amortization Payment Notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall become due and payable on the Amortization Payment Date. Subject to clause (d) of this Section 2.03, on and after the Amortization Payment Date, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Scheduled Amortization Payment, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes called for redemption.

(d) Deposit of Scheduled Amortization Payment.

(i) Prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Amortization Payment Date, with respect to the Notes, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the aggregate Scheduled Amortization Payment; provided, that, to the extent any such funds are received by the Trustee or the Paying Agent

-63-

from the Issuer after such time on such date, such funds will be distributed to such Persons within one Business Day of the receipt thereof. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the aggregate Scheduled Amortization Payment.

(ii) If the Issuer complies with the provisions of clause (i) of this Section 2.03(d), on and after the Amortization Payment Date, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of Scheduled Amortization Payment, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes called for redemption. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the Amortization Payment Date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest accrued to the Amortization Payment Date not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

(e) Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. As less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed on the Amortization Payment Date, the selection of the Notes to be redeemed will be made in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. The particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Amortization Payment Date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in minimum denominations of $1.00 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof; no Notes in denominations of $1.00 or less can be redeemed in part, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed, even if not in a principal amount of at least $1.00.

Section 2.04. Execution and Authentication. At least one Officer of the Issuer shall execute the Notes on behalf of the Issuer by manual, facsimile or electronic (including “.pdf”) signature.

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

A Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto by the manual, facsimile or electronic (including “.pdf”) signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture.

On the Issue Date, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of the Issuer’s Order (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate and deliver the Notes in the aggregate principal amount or amounts specified in such Authentication Order and no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the authentication of the Notes on the Issue Date.

The Notes shall be resold initially only to (A) QIBs, (B) Persons other than U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation S) in reliance on Regulation S and (C) institutional “accredited investors” (as defined in Rules 501(a)(1), (2), (3) and (7) under the Securities Act) who are not QIBs (“IAIs”) in accordance with Rule 501 of the Securities Act in accordance with the procedures described herein.

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

Section 2.05. Registrars, Transfer Agents and Paying Agents. The Issuer shall maintain (i) one or more registrars with respect to the Notes where the Notes may be presented for registration (each, a “Registrar”), which shall be U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association as of the date of this Indenture, (ii) one or more offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented for transfer or for exchange (each, a “Transfer Agent”), which shall be U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association as of the date of this Indenture, and (iii) one or more offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented for payment (each, a “Paying Agent”), which shall be U.S. Bank Trust

-64-

Company, National Association as of the date of this Indenture. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes (“Note Register”), and of their transfer and exchange and keep such Note Register in accordance with the rules and procedures of DTC. The registered Holder of a Note will be treated as the owner of such Note for all purposes and only registered Holders shall have rights under this Indenture and the Notes. The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars, one or more co-transfer agents and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar, the term “Transfer Agent” includes any co-transfer agent and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agents. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuer fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar, Transfer Agent or Paying Agent, the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee shall act as such. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or Registrar.

The Issuer initially appoints The Depository Trust Company, its nominees and successors (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar for the Notes and the Paying Agent and Transfer Agent for the Notes and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes. In acting hereunder and in connection with the Notes, the Registrar, Paying Agent, Transfer Agent and Custodian shall act solely as agents of the Issuer, and will not thereby assume any obligations towards or relationship of agency or trust for or with any Holder of the Notes.

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

Section 2.06. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The Issuer shall require any Paying Agent with respect to the Notes other than the Trustee to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders of the Notes or the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal and premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require the Paying Agent with respect to the Notes (other than the Trustee) to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuer at any time may require the Paying Agent with respect to the Notes (other than the Trustee) to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent with respect to the Notes (if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary thereof or the Trustee) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Issuer or a Subsidiary thereof acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuer, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.07. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders.

Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.09 and 2.12 hereof. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.08 or Sections 2.09 or 2.12 hereof, 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 described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above and pursuant to Section 2.08(d) hereof.

Section 2.09. Replacement Notes. If either (x) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Registrar or the Issuer, or (y) the Issuer and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the ownership and destruction, loss or theft of any Note, then the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order and satisfaction of any other requirements of the Trustee, shall authenticate a replacement Note. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of both (i) the Trustee to protect the Trustee and (ii) the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any Authentication Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note.

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

Section 2.10. Outstanding Notes. The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and those described in this Section 2.10 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.11 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or a Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Issuer or a Guarantor holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.09 hereof, 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).

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

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

-76-

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

Section 2.11. 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 Issuer or by any Affiliate of the Issuer (other than a Debt Fund Affiliate; provided that the aggregate amount of Notes held by any Debt Fund Affiliate shall be deemed to be not outstanding to the extent in excess of 49.9% of the amount required for all purposes of calculating whether the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have taken any actions) shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to such pledged Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or a Guarantor or any Affiliate of the Issuer or a Guarantor (other than a Debt Fund Affiliate; provided that the aggregate amount of Notes held by any Debt Fund Affiliate shall be deemed to be not outstanding to the extent in excess of 49.9% of the amount required for all purposes of calculating whether the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have taken any actions).

Section 2.12. Temporary Notes. Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

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

Section 2.13. Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any such Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such cancelled Notes in its customary manner (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act). Certification of the cancellation of all cancelled Notes shall be delivered to the Issuer upon its written request therefor. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.14. Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.14. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of any such special record date. At least 15 days before any such special record date, the Issuer (or, upon the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) shall send or cause to be sent to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice at his or her address as it appears in the Note Register that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

-77-

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.14 and for greater certainty, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

Section 2.15. CUSIP Numbers; ISINs. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP numbers and ISINs (in each case, if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers and ISINs in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the accuracy of any CUSIP printed on any Note, notice or elsewhere and 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 or exchange and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or exchange shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will as promptly as practicable notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers or ISINs.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in minimum denominations of $1.00 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof; no Notes in denominations of $1.00 or less can be redeemed in part, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed, even if not in a principal amount of at least $1.00.

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

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

Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price.

(a) Prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date, with respect to the Notes, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that Redemption Date; provided, that, to the extent any such funds are received by the Trustee or the Paying Agent from the Issuer after such time on such date, such funds will be distributed to such Persons within one Business Day of the receipt thereof.

If a Note is redeemed on or after an applicable Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such Record Date in accordance with Applicable Procedures. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the Redemption Date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest accrued to the Redemption Date not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

The Issuer may redeem Notes pursuant to one or more of the relevant provisions in this Indenture, and a single notice of redemption may be delivered with respect to redemptions made pursuant to different provisions. Any such notice may provide that redemptions made pursuant to different provisions will have different Redemption Dates. In addition, if such redemption or offer to purchase is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption or repurchase date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the redemption notice or offer to purchase was sent) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion), or such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion) by the redemption or purchase date, or by the redemption or purchase date so delayed, or that such notice or offer may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer’s sole discretion if the Issuer determines that any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied or waived.

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

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 4.10, (i) to the extent that the application of any or all of the Applicable Proceeds of any Asset Sale or Casualty Event by a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Disposition”) (A) is (x) prohibited or delayed by or would violate or conflict with applicable local law, (y) restricted by applicable organizational documents or any agreement or (z) subject to other organizational or administrative impediments from being repatriated to the United States (including for the avoidance of doubt restrictions, prohibitions or impediments relating to financial assistance, corporate benefit, thin capitalization, capital maintenance and similar legal principles, restrictions on upstreaming and/or cross-streaming of Cash Equivalents intra-group and relating to the fiduciary and/or statutory duties of the directors (or equivalent Persons) of the Issuer and/or any of its Subsidiaries) or would conflict with the fiduciary and/or statutory duties of such Subsidiary’s directors (or equivalent Persons), or (B) would result in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a risk of personal or criminal liability for any officer, director, employee, manager, member of management or consultant of such Subsidiary, an amount equal to the portion of such Applicable Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied in compliance with this Section 4.10, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided that if at any time within one year following the date on which the respective payment would otherwise have been required, such repatriation of any of such affected Applicable Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, the applicable organizational document or agreement or the applicable other impediment, an amount equal to such amount of Applicable Proceeds so permitted to be repatriated will be promptly applied (net of any taxes, costs or expenses that would be payable or reserved against if such amounts were actually repatriated whether or not they are repatriated) in compliance with this Section 4.10 or (ii) to the extent that the Issuer has determined in good faith that repatriation of any or all of the Applicable Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition could have a material adverse tax or cost consequence with respect to such Applicable Proceeds (which for the avoidance of doubt, includes, but is not limited to, any prepayment whereby doing so the Issuer, any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates and/or their equityholders would incur a net tax liability (taking into account any deduction, including a dividend received deduction), including as a result of a tax dividend, a deemed dividend pursuant to Code Section 956 or a withholding tax), the Applicable Proceeds so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary and an amount equal to such Applicable Proceeds will not be required to be applied in compliance with this Section 4.10. The non-application of any prepayment amounts as a consequence of the foregoing provisions will not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a Default or an Event of Default. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Indenture shall be construed to require any Subsidiary to repatriate cash.

(c) Any Applicable Proceeds (other than any amounts excluded from this Section 4.10 as set forth in the final paragraph of Section 4.10(b)) that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in Section 4.10(b) hereof will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds”; provided that any amount of Applicable Proceeds offered to Holders of the Notes pursuant to clause (i)(C) of Section 4.10(b) shall not be deemed to be Excess Proceeds without regard to whether such offer is accepted by any Holders and any amount of Applicable Proceeds offered to Holders of the Notes pursuant to clause (i)(C) of Section 4.10(b) hereof that are not accepted shall be deemed to be Declined Proceeds. When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $100.0 million (the “Excess Proceeds Threshold”), the Issuer shall make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of the Notes and, if required or permitted by the terms of any Indebtedness that ranks pari passu in right of payment with the Notes (“Pari Passu Indebtedness”), to the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness that is, with respect to the Notes only, in an amount equal to $1.00, or an integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof, that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price, in the case of the Notes, in cash in an amount equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof (or accreted value thereof, if less), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture, and in the case of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, at the offer price required by the terms thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the agreement(s) governing such Pari Passu Indebtedness. The Issuer will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within 20 Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed the Excess Proceeds Threshold by delivering to the Holders the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. The Issuer may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any Applicable Proceeds by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Applicable Proceeds prior to the time period that may be required by this Indenture with respect to all or a part of the available Applicable Proceeds (the “Advance Portion”) in advance of being required to do so by this Indenture (an “Advance Offer”).

-104-

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

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

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

(e) The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer or an Advance Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may rely on any no-action letters issued by the SEC or other SEC guidance indicating that the staff of the SEC will not recommend enforcement action in the event a tender offer satisfies certain conditions.

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

Section 4.11. Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with any Affiliate of the Issuer (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $20.0 million at such time, unless:

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

-105-

(ii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $80.0 million at such time, the terms of such transaction have been approved by a majority of the members of the Board of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer.

(v) transactions in which the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or stating that the terms are not materially less favorable, when taken as a whole, to the Issuer or its relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis;

(vi) any agreement or arrangement as in effect as of the Issue Date (including the Working Capital Notes and the New Exchangeable Notes), or any amendment or replacement thereto (so long as any such amendment or replacement is not materially disadvantageous in the good faith judgment of the Issuer to the Holders when taken as a whole as compared to the applicable agreement or arrangement as in effect on the Issue Date);

(vii) any Intercompany License Agreements;

(viii) the existence of, or the performance by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any stockholders, investor rights or similar agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it (or any parent company of the Issuer) is a party as of the Issue Date, including in connection with the New Exchangeable Notes, and any similar agreements which it (or any parent company of the Issuer) may enter into thereafter; provided, that the existence of, or the performance by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or such parent company) of obligations under any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Issue Date shall only be permitted by this clause (viii) to the extent that the terms of any such amendment or new agreement are not otherwise, when taken as a whole, materially disadvantageous in the good faith judgment of the Issuer to the Holders than those in effect on the Issue Date;

-106-

(f) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes and such new Notes will be equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered. The unpurchased portion of the Notes must be equal to at least $1.00 or any integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof;

(g) if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control and shall describe each such condition, and, if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the Change of Control Payment Date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the notice is sent) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived, or that such repurchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the Change of Control Payment Date, or by the Change of Control Payment Date as so delayed, or such notice or offer may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer’s sole discretion if the Issuer determines that any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied or waived;

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

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

The notice, if delivered electronically or mailed in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. If (a) the notice is delivered or mailed in a manner herein provided and (b) any Holder fails to receive such notice or a Holder receives such notice but it is defective, such Holder’s failure to receive such notice or such defect shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Notes as to all other Holders that properly received such notice without defect. The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may rely on any no-action letters issued by the SEC or other SEC guidance indicating that the staff of the SEC will not recommend enforcement action in the event a tender offer satisfies certain conditions.

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

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

(n) [reserved].

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

The Issuer shall not permit any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries that are Restricted Subsidiaries (and non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries if such non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries guarantee other capital markets debt securities of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to clause (ii) below), other than Subsidiary Guarantors, Excluded Restricted Subsidiaries, MSR Facility Trusts, Securitization Subsidiaries, Warehouse Facility Trusts, Foreign Subsidiaries, FSHCO Subsidiaries, Captive Insurance Subsidiaries or Broker-Dealer Subsidiaries, to guarantee the payment of (i) the Working Capital Notes or (ii) any capital market debt securities of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $100.0 million unless:

(a) such Restricted Subsidiary within 60 days after the guarantee of such Indebtedness (i) executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit E hereto, providing for a Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary, except that with respect to a guarantee of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee, any such guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantee substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes and (ii) to the extent such Restricted Subsidiary holds assets that constitute Collateral (A) becomes a party to the applicable Collateral Documents and (B) executes and delivers such security instruments, financing statements and other related documentation as may be necessary to vest in the Collateral Trustee a security interest in such Restricted Subsidiary’s assets that constitute Collateral as security for such Restricted Subsidiary’s Guarantee and as may be necessary to have such assets added to the Collateral with the priority required under the Collateral Documents and this Indenture, and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such assets to the same extent and with the same force and effect; and

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

The Issuer may elect, in its sole discretion, to cause any Subsidiary that is not otherwise required to be a Subsidiary Guarantor to become a Subsidiary Guarantor, in which case such Subsidiary shall not be required to comply with the 60 day period described in clause (a) of this Section 4.15. No Opinion of Counsel shall be required to be delivered to the Trustee in connection with the execution of a supplemental indenture solely to add Subsidiary Guarantors in connection with this covenant.

-111-

Section 4.16. Limitations on Holding Unrestricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

(a) The Issuer shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Foreign Subsidiary) that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor to hold any Unrestricted Cash and Cash Equivalents unless the transfer of such Unrestricted Cash and Cash Equivalents to a Subsidiary Guarantor is prohibited under applicable law or the contracts entered into by such Restricted Subsidiary with non-Affiliates in the ordinary course of business (including pursuant to any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred by such Restricted Subsidiary).

(b) At any time after the Working Capital Notes Termination, at any Determination Date, if the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors collectively hold any Unrestricted Cash and Cash Equivalents in an aggregate amount in excess of $90.0 million (measured on the applicable Determination Date), the Issuer shall cause any amounts in excess of $90.0 million to be deposited into the Debt Service Reserve.

The Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Officer’s Certificate and shall be required to take all take any actions necessary to release the specified funds from the Debt Service Reserve for such permitted purpose and no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection therewith. The Collateral Trustee will invest the funds held in the Debt Service Reserve in such Eligible Debt Service Reserve Investments as the Issuer may from time to time direct in writing. In the absence of such written direction, amounts held in the Debt Service Reserve shall be held uninvested.

Section 4.17. Collateral Dispositions.

(a) Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly (each, a “Collateral Disposition”):

(i) sell, dispose, or other transfer any “call rights” with respect to Pledged Securities (the “Call Rights”) and/or any Pledged Securities (a “Call Right Disposal”); or

(ii) exercise Call Rights (or otherwise cause the redemption of any related securitization) (each, a “Call Event”), including through a sale, transfer or other monetization of the proprietary reverse mortgage loans (and other collateral assets in respect thereof),

unless the aggregate net proceeds thereof that are allocable to the Pledged Securities or Call Rights, as applicable, subject to such Call Event and any cash and cash equivalents as described in clause (A)(2) below (“Collateral Net Cash Proceeds”) are applied solely, in any order or combination:

-112-

(A) to originate or acquire (including by acquiring rights to, by exercising related Call Rights and satisfying related indebtedness) proprietary reverse mortgage loans that, in the judgement of the Issuer, are reasonably expected to be (at the time of origination) and are, within a period that begins upon such Call Event or Call Right Disposal and ends on the first month-end that occurs not earlier than 180 days following such Call Event or Call Right Disposal (such period, the “Reinvestment Period”), included in (1) asset backed securitizations that generate Pledged Securities included in Collateral in the ordinary course of business or (2) asset sales, financings, derivative, co-investment or alternative transactions that result in the monetization of such proprietary reverse mortgage loans and generate cash or cash equivalents that are subject to application solely as permitted by clauses (A) through (E) hereof;

(B) to repay (and correspondingly permanently reduce commitments under) the Working Capital Notes, in accordance with the terms thereof;

(C) to pay interest on the Notes or the New Exchangeable Notes, including through funding amounts in the Debt Service Reserve;

(D) to partially prepay the Notes with the Scheduled Amortization Payment in accordance with Section 2.03;

(E) to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.09 or fund any offer to repurchase or otherwise repurchase the New Exchangeable Notes in accordance with the New Exchangeable Notes Indenture.

(b) Prior to application of the Collateral Net Cash Proceeds as required pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A) through (E) of Section 4.17(a) hereof, the Issuer shall cause any Collateral Net Cash Proceeds to be deposited into the Collateral Disposition Deposit Account.

Section 4.18. MSR Monetization Transaction.

(a) Within ten Business Days after the occurrence of a MSR Monetization Transaction, the gross proceeds received in cash and cash equivalents by the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer from such MSR Xxxxxxxxxxxx Transaction after payment of any expenses or senior indebtedness required to be paid by the applicable agreements relating thereto (the “MSR Net Proceeds”) shall be applied solely, in order of the below:

(i) first, to repay (and correspondingly permanently reduce commitments under) the Working Capital Notes, in accordance with the terms thereof;

(ii) second, to the extent any Collateral Net Cash Proceeds have been used in accordance with clause (B) of Section 4.17(a) to repay (and correspondingly permanently reduce commitments under) the Working Capital Notes (such amount of Collateral Net Cash Proceeds so used, the “Working Capital Notes Payments Amount”), MSR Net Proceeds equal to the lesser of (i) the Working Capital Notes Payments Amount and (ii) any remaining available MSR Net Proceeds not used in accordance with the foregoing clause (a) (such amount, the “Collateral MSR Net Proceeds”), shall be treated as if such Collateral MSR Net Proceeds constitute Collateral Net Cash Proceeds from Collateral Dispositions and be used in accordance with clauses (A), (C), (D) and (E) of Section 4.17(a) in any order or combination; and

(iii) third, to the extent any MSR Net Proceeds remain after application in accordance with the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

(b) Prior to application of the Collateral MSR Net Proceeds as required pursuant to the foregoing clause (a)(ii), the Issuer shall cause any such Collateral MSR Net Proceeds to be deposited into the Collateral Disposition Deposit Account.

-113-

Section 4.19. Issue Price Determination.

(a) The Issuer shall deliver its determination of whether the Notes are publicly traded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as well as its determination of the issue price of the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes (such determinations, collectively, the “Company’s Issue Price Determination”), to the Supporting Noteholders within 10 days after the Issue Date. If the Supporting Noteholders disagree with the Company’s Issue Price Determination, the Supporting Noteholders Representative may, within 20 days after receipt of the Company’s Issue Price Determination, deliver a notice (a “Noteholder’s Disagreement Notice”) to the Issuer to such effect, specifying that the Supporting Noteholders disagree with the Company’s Issue Price Determination. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the Issuer does not receive a Noteholder’s Disagreement Notice within 20 days of the delivery of the Company’s Issue Price Determination to the Supporting Noteholders, the Supporting Noteholders will be deemed to have agreed with the Company’s Issue Price Determination and (ii) only one Noteholder’s Disagreement Notice may be delivered to the Issuer by the Supporting Noteholders Representative.

(b) If a Noteholder’s Disagreement Notice is duly delivered, the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement with the Supporting Noteholders Representative in order to determine the issue price of the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the Issuer and the Supporting Noteholders Representative are unable to resolve any dispute regarding the Company’s Issue Price Determination within the 15-day period following the delivery of a Noteholder’s Disagreement Notice, but a majority of Supporting Noteholders agree on a determination of the issue price of the Notes (such determination, the “Majority’s Issue Price Determination”), and the Issuer agrees with the Majority’s Issue Price Determination, the Majority’s Issue Price Determination shall be final and binding on the Issuer and on all of the Supporting Noteholders (subject to the procedure for appropriate disclosure on a federal income tax return prescribed in Treas. Reg. 1.1273-2(f)(9)). If the Issuer does not agree with the Majority’s Issue Price Determination or with the issue price determined by the Supporting Noteholders Representative, the parties shall refer the matter to an independent nationally recognized accounting firm (the “Third Party Expert”) within 20 days following the delivery of a Noteholder’s Disagreement Notice, for the Third Party Expert to determine whether (x) the Majority’s Issue Price Determination (if available), (y) the Company’s Issue Price Determination or (z) the issue price determined by the Supporting Noteholders Representative is the most reasonable determination of the issue price of the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Issuer and the Supporting Noteholders agree that the determination of the Third Party Expert shall be final and binding on the Issuer and on all of the Supporting Noteholders (subject to the procedure for appropriate disclosure on a federal income tax return prescribed in Treas. Reg. 1.1273-2(f)(9)). The fees, costs and expenses associated with the Third Party Expert’s determination described in the second preceding sentence shall be borne solely by the Issuer. If the Third Party Expert is unable to resolve the dispute regarding the issue price of the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes within 90 days of the Issue Date, the Issuer shall make available to the Holders its determination of the issue price, provided that if after such time the Third Party Expert determines that a different issue price is more reasonable, the Issuer shall make available to all Holders such different issue price, which different issue price shall be final and binding on the Issuer (including for purposes of preparing any IRS 1099 and 1042-S forms) and on all of the Supporting Noteholders (subject to the procedure for appropriate disclosure on a federal income tax return prescribed in Treas. Reg. 1.1273-2(f)(9)).

(c) The Trustee shall not be involved in the determination of the issue price as described in the preceding two paragraphs, the Company’s Issue Price Determination, a Noteholder’s Disagreement Notice, the Majority’s Issue Price Determination or the Third Party Expert determination and shall have no responsibility or liability in connection therewith.

Section 4.20. Suspension of Covenants.

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

-114-

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

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

(d) During the Suspension Period, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be entitled to incur Liens to the extent provided for under Section 4.12 hereof (including Permitted Liens) and any Permitted Liens which may refer to one or more Suspended Covenants shall be interpreted as though such applicable Suspended Covenant(s) continued to be applicable during the Suspension Period (but solely for purposes of Section 4.12 hereof and the definition of “Permitted Liens” and for no other covenant).

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

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

(g) Neither the Trustee nor any Agents shall have any duty to (i) monitor the ratings of the Notes, (ii) ascertain whether a Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date have occurred, or (iii) notify the Holders of any of the foregoing.

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

(ix) if (x) the Working Capital Notes Termination has not occurred or (y) if the Working Capital Notes Payments Amount exceeds the amount of Collateral MSR Net Proceeds that are required to be, and have been, treated as Collateral Net Cash Proceeds and applied as required under pursuant to Section 4.18, Xxxxxx Xxx has commenced to take action to enforce upon the Xxxxxx Xxx HMSR (including any extinguishment thereof) or any secured creditor of any financing secured by the Xxxxxx Xxx HMSR shall have taken any action to cause the financing or the Xxxxxx Xxx HMSR to be transferred to a backup issuer or “standby issuer”; and

-120-

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

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

Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Notes shall accrue interest from the date of the Event of Default and solely until such Event of Default is waived, at an interest rate per annum equal to 2.00% above the otherwise applicable interest rate. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of multiple Events of Default occurring or continuing concurrently, the interest rate shall only increase once.

Section 6.02. Acceleration. If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default of the type specified in clause (vi) or (vii) of Section 6.01(a) hereof) occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 30.0% in aggregate principal amount of all the then outstanding Notes may, by notice to the Issuer and the Trustee (if given by Holders), in either case specifying in such notice the respective Event of Default and that such notice is a “notice of acceleration,” declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately; provided that no such declaration may be made with respect to any action taken, and reported publicly or to Holders, more than two years prior to such declaration. Any notice of Default under clauses (iii), (iv), (v), (viii), (ix) or (x) of Section 6.01(a), notice of acceleration with respect to an Event of Default under clauses (iii), (iv), (v), (viii), (ix) or (x) of Section 6.01(a), written instruction to the Trustee to provide a notice of Default under clauses (iii), (iv), (v), (viii), (ix) or (x) of Section 6.01(a), notice of acceleration with respect to an Event of Default under clauses (iii), (iv), (v), (viii), (ix) or (x) of Section 6.01(a) or written instruction to the Trustee to take any other action with respect to an alleged Default or Event of Default under clauses (iii), (iv), (v), (viii), (ix) or (x) of Section 6.01(a) (a “Noteholder Direction”) provided by any one or more Holders (other than a Regulated Bank) (each, a “Directing Holder”) must be accompanied by a written representation from each such Holder to the Issuer and the Trustee that such Holder is not, or, in the case such Holder is DTC or DTC’s nominee, that such Holder is being instructed solely by beneficial owners that are not, Net Short (a “Position Representation”), which representation, in the case of a Noteholder Direction relating to a notice of Default shall be deemed repeated at all times until the resulting Event of Default is cured or otherwise ceases to exist or the Notes are accelerated. In addition, each Directing Holder must, at the time of providing a Noteholder Direction, covenant to provide the Issuer with such other information as the Issuer may reasonably request from time to time in order to verify the accuracy of such Directing Holder’s Position Representation within five Business Days of request therefor (a “Verification Covenant”). In any case in which the Holder is DTC or DTC’s nominee, any Position Representation or Verification Covenant required hereunder shall be provided by the beneficial owner of the Notes in lieu of the DTC or DTC’s nominee and DTC shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Position Representation and Verification Covenant in delivering any direction to the Trustee.

If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Issuer determines in good faith that there is a reasonable basis to believe a Directing Holder was, at any relevant time, in breach of its Position Representation and the Issuer provides to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate (a “Verification Covenant Officer’s Certificate”) certifying that the Issuer has (i) a good faith reasonable basis to believe that one or more Directing Holders were at any relevant time in breach of their Position Representation or their Verification Covenant and (ii) filed papers with a court of competent jurisdiction seeking a determination that such Directing Holders were, at such time, in breach of their Position Representation, and seeking to invalidate any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction (“Litigation”), the cure period with respect to such Event of Default shall be automatically stayed pending a final and nonappealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction on such matter (a “Final Decision”). If such Officer’s Certificate has been delivered to the Trustee, the Trustee shall refrain from acting in accordance with such Noteholder Direction until it has actual knowledge of a Final Decision or until such time as the Issuer provides to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate (a “Covenant Satisfaction Officer’s Certificate”) stating that (i) such Directing Holders have satisfied their Verification Covenant or (ii) such Directing Holders have failed to satisfy its Verification Covenant, and during such time the cure period with respect to any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction shall be automatically stayed pending satisfaction of such Verification Covenant. The Issuer shall promptly deliver such Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee following satisfaction by the applicable Directing Holder of satisfaction of its Verification Covenant or upon confirmation that such Directing Holder has failed to satisfy its Verification Covenant. Any breach of the Position Representation shall result in such Directing Holder’s participation in such Noteholder Direction being disregarded; and, if, without the participation of such Directing Holder, the percentage of Notes held by the remaining Holders that provided such Noteholder Direction would have been insufficient to validly provide such Noteholder Direction, such Noteholder Direction shall be void ab initio, with the effect that such Event of Default shall be deemed never to have occurred, and any related acceleration rescinded, and the Trustee shall be deemed not to have received such Noteholder Direction or any notice of such alleged Default or Event of Default, shall not be permitted to act thereon and shall be restricted from accepting and acting on any future Noteholder Direction in relation to such Event of Default. If the Directing Holder has satisfied its Verification Covenant, then the Trustee shall be permitted to act in accordance with such Noteholder Direction. Notwithstanding the above, if such Directing Holder’s participation is not required to achieve the requisite level of consent of Holders required under this Indenture to give such Noteholder Direction, the Trustee shall be permitted to act in accordance with such Noteholder Direction notwithstanding any action taken or to be taken by the Issuer (as described above). The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any Noteholder Direction or Officer’s Certificate delivered to it in accordance with this Indenture without verification, investigation or otherwise as to the statements made therein.

-121-

Notwithstanding anything in the preceding two paragraphs to the contrary, any Noteholder Direction delivered to the Trustee during the pendency of an Event of Default as the result of Section 6.01(a)(vi) or (vii) shall not require compliance with this Section 6.02. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.02 shall not apply to any Holder that is a Regulated Bank.

Each Holder by accepting a Note acknowledges and agrees that the Trustee (and any agent) shall not be liable to any party for acting or refraining to act in accordance with (i) this Section 6.02, (ii) any Noteholder Direction, (iii) any Officer’s Certificate or (iv) its duties under this Indenture. The Trustee shall have no obligation (i) to monitor, investigate, verify or otherwise determine if a Holder has a Net Short position, (ii) investigate the accuracy or authenticity of any Position Representation, (iii) inquire if the Issuer will seek action to determine if a Directing Holder has breached its Position Representation, (iv) enforce any Verification Covenant, (v) monitor any court proceedings undertaken in connection therewith, (vi) monitor or investigate whether any Default or Event of Default has been publicly reported or (vii) otherwise make any calculations, investigations or determinations with respect to any Derivative Instruments, Net Short position, Long Derivative Instrument, Short Derivative Instrument or otherwise. The Trustee shall have no liability for ceasing to take any action, staying any remedy or otherwise failing to act in accordance with a Noteholder Direction during the pendency of Litigation or a Noteholder Direction after it has received a Verification Covenant Officer’s Certificate but prior to receipt of a Covenant Satisfaction Officer’s Certificate.

Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, or in the case of clauses (iii), (iv), (v), (viii), (ix) or (x) of Section 6.01(a) hereof, upon a valid Noteholder Direction, to accelerate the Notes, such principal of and premium, if any, and interest will be due and payable immediately.

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

Section 6.03. Director Rights Upon an Event of Default.

(a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Supporting Noteholders Representative shall have the right to nominate one person to serve as a director on the Board of FoA America, the indirect parent of the Issuer, pursuant to the following procedures (such director, the “Notes Director”). If the Supporting Noteholders have already nominated a Notes Director pursuant to the New Exchangeable Notes Indenture, the Supporting Noteholders shall not have the right to nominate a Notes Director hereunder.

(b) Within five Business Days after notice to the Holders of the occurrence of a Default in accordance with Section 7.05 that has not been cured (the “Nomination Deadline”), the Supporting Noteholders Representative may nominate a person to serve as the Notes Director by delivering a notice to the Trustee and the Issuer (the “Director Notice”) that includes (i) the name of such Notes Director, (ii) a biographical statement of the Notes Director’s background and qualifications of similar form as would be included in a proxy statement and (iii) a written representation (the “Holdings Representation”) from the Supporting Noteholders Representative to the Issuer and the Trustee which includes (a) a representation that such Supporting Noteholders Representative is the designated representative of the Supporting Noteholders, (b) a statement of the principal amount of Notes then outstanding beneficially held (such ownership may be held through DTC or DTC’s nominee) by the Supporting Noteholders, as of the date of the Director Notice and (c) a covenant to provide the Issuer with such other information as the Issuer may reasonably request from time to time: (A) in order to verify the accuracy of the Supporting Noteholders Representative’s Holdings Representation and (B) about the Notes Director’s qualifications, holdings and other information typically required of a director of a public company, in each case, within five Business Days of request therefor (the information in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the “Required Information”). If no Director Notice is provided by the Supporting Noteholders Representative or if any Required Information is not included in such Director Notice, in each case prior to the Nomination Deadline, the Supporting Noteholders will no longer have the right to appoint a Notes Director for such Event of Default.

-122-

(c) Upon receipt of the Director Notice and the Default becoming an Event of Default, FoA America shall as promptly as practicable, to the fullest extent permitted by law, use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Notes Director to be seated on the Board of FoA America whether by election by FoA America’s stockholders or appointment by the Board of FoA America. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board of FoA America is not able to appoint the Notes Director without action by the stockholders of FoA America and the FoA America stockholders do not elect the nominated Notes Director to serve on the Board of FoA America (through no adverse action of FoA America, the Issuer or any of the Guarantors), there shall be no breach or Event of Default as a result of such failure to seat the Notes Director; provided that FoA America shall be required to reasonably attempt to have the Notes Director appointed or nominated until such Event of Default ceases or is cured or the Notes Director is seated on the Board of FoA America.

(d) The right to nominate a Notes Director shall cease upon the Supporting Noteholders no longer holding any Notes. If the Supporting Noteholders cease to hold any Notes at any time prior to the cessation or withdrawal of such Event of Default, the Notes Director shall immediately cease to be qualified as a director and shall cease to be in office as a director. Additionally, upon the cessation or waiver of such Event of Default and provided that no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Notes Director shall immediately cease to be qualified as a director and shall no longer be a director and the Supporting Noteholders shall no longer be entitled to nominate a Note Director in respect of such Event of Default; provided that upon any subsequent Event of Default, the Supporting Noteholders shall have full rights to nominate a Note Director in accordance with the procedures herein.

(e) If during the period following the delivery of a Director Notice, but prior to the time when the applicable Event of Default to which such Director Notice relates has ceased to exist or has been cured, the Issuer determines in good faith that there is a reasonable basis to believe the applicable Holdings Representation and/or Required Information is inaccurate or otherwise deficient in any material respect and the Issuer provides to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the Issuer has (i) a good faith reasonable basis to believe that the applicable Holdings Representation and/or Required Information is inaccurate or otherwise deficient in any material respect and (ii) filed papers with a court of competent jurisdiction seeking a determination that such Supporting Noteholders Representative or one or more Supporting Noteholders were, at such time, in breach of their obligations to provide the Holdings Representation and/or Required Information, and seeking to invalidate any Event of Default that resulted from or related to the right to nominate a Notes Director, the cure period with respect to such Event of Default shall be automatically stayed pending a final and nonappealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction on such matter and the Trustee shall have no liability for ceasing to take any action, staying any remedy, or otherwise failing to act until such final and nonappealable determination has been rendered.

(f) The Issuer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any Director Notice including the Required Information, in appointing or nominating the Notes Director, when delivered to it in accordance with this Indenture without verification, investigation or otherwise as to the statements made therein. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any Director Notice or Officer’s Certificate delivered to it in accordance with this Indenture without verification, investigation or otherwise as to the statements made therein.

Section 6.04. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

-123-

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

Section 6.05. Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Section 6.02, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Trustee (with a copy to the Issuer; provided that any waiver or rescission under this Section 6.05 shall be valid and binding notwithstanding the failure to provide a copy of such notice to the Issuer) may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default and its consequences under this Indenture (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer, an Advance Offer a Change of Control Offer or an Alternate Offer) or the Collateral Documents and rescind any acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences under this Indenture (except if such rescission would conflict with any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and except a continuing Default in the payment of interest on, premium, if any, or the principal of, any Note held by a non-consenting Holder). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 6.06. Control by Majority. Subject to Section 6.02 and Section 7.01(e) hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, and the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. The Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, as the case may be, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder (it being understood that the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, does not have a duty to determine whether a direction is prejudicial to the Holders of the Notes) or that would involve the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee in personal liability and may take any other action that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of the Notes. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to indemnification and/or security satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

Section 6.07. Limitation on Suits. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due on or after the respective due dates expressed in an outstanding Note, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

(a) such Holder has previously given the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, written notice that an Event of Default is continuing and, if such Event of Default is in respect of clauses (iii), (iv), (v), (viii), (ix) or (x) of Section 6.01(a) hereof, such Holder is not in breach of a Position Representation or Verification Covenant;

(b) the Holders, or in the case of clauses (iii), (iv), (v), (viii), (ix) or (x) of Section 6.01(a) hereof, Directing Holders that are not in breach of a Position Representation or Verification Covenant, comprising at least 30.0% in the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have requested in writing the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, to pursue the remedy;

(c) Holders of the Notes have offered the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, security and/or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense;

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

(e) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, a direction inconsistent with such written request within such 60-day period.

-124-

Section 6.08. Right of Holders to Sue for Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the contractual right expressly set forth in this Indenture or the Notes of any Holder of a Note to bring suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Xxxxxx’s Notes on or after the respective due dates expressed in this Indenture or the Notes, shall not be amended without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.09. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(i) or (ii) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal, if applicable, and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.10. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted.

Section 6.11. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.09 hereof, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 6.12. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 6.13. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee, their respective agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes (including the Guarantors), their creditors or their property and shall be entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee, their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee, their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

-125-

Section 6.14. Priorities. If the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee or any Agent collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

(a) FIRST, to the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee, the Agents, and their respective agents and attorneys for amounts due hereunder or under any Collateral Document, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee or the Agents and the costs and expenses of collection;

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

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

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.14.

Section 6.15. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees 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 6.15 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.08 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10.0% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

Section 6.15 Underlying Cure. Any Default or Event of Default resulting from the failure to deliver a notice, report or certificate under this Indenture shall cease to exist and be cured in all respects if the underlying Default or Event of Default giving rise to such notice, report or certificate requirement shall have ceased to exist and/or be cured (including pursuant to Section 6.05). For the avoidance of doubt, each of the parties hereto agree that any court of competent jurisdiction may (x) extend or stay any grace period set forth in this Indenture prior to when any actual or alleged Default becomes an actual or alleged Event of Default or (y) stay the exercise of remedies by the Trustee or Holders contemplated by this Indenture or otherwise upon the occurrence of an actual or alleged Event of Default, in each case of clauses (x) and (y), in accordance with the requirements of applicable law.

ARTICLE 7

Section 7.01. Duties of Trustee.

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

-127-

Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any of its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest (as such term is used in the Trust Indenture Act) it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Section 7.09 hereof.

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

The Trustee does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Issuer or any Guarantor under this Indenture. The Trustee shall not be responsible to the Holders or any other Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in this Indenture or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Trustee under or in connection with, this Indenture; the 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.

Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall deliver to Holders a notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived, or if discovered after 90 days, promptly thereafter. The Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default, except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.

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

The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee, the Agents, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and any predecessor trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) for, and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder (including the reasonable costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer or any of the Guarantors (including this Section 7.06) or defending itself against any claim whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuer or any Guarantor, or liability in connection with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder) (but excluding taxes imposed on such Persons in connection with compensation for such administration or performance). The Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim of which a Responsible Officer has received written notice for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer or the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. Except in cases where the interests of the issuers and/or Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Parties, on the other hand, may be adverse, the Issuer shall defend the claim and the applicable Indemnified Party may have separate counsel and the Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor need reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by an Indemnified Party through such Indemnified Party’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment). Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent. Any settlement which affects an Indemnified Parties may not be entered into without the consent of such Indemnified Party, unless the applicable Indemnified Parties is given a full and unconditional release from liability with respect to the claims covered thereby and such settlement does not include a statement or admission of fault, culpability, or failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

-129-

The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Section 7.06 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee and such other Indemnified Parties, as applicable.

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

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

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

Section 7.07. Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.07. The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if:

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

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

(d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

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

-130-

If a successor Xxxxxxx does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the Issuer’s expense), the Issuer or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

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

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall deliver a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.06 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.06 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.08. Successor Trustee by Xxxxxx, etc. If the Trustee or Agent consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee or Agent. Any corporation into which the Trustee or any Agent for the time being may be merged or converted shall, on the date when such merger, conversion, consolidation, sale or transfer becomes effective and to the extent permitted by applicable law, be a successor Trustee or Agent under this Indenture without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties to this Indenture. After the effective date all references in this Indenture to that Trustee or Agent shall be deemed to be references to that corporation.

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

ARTICLE 8

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

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

Section 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02 with respect to the Notes, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations under this Indenture with respect to all outstanding Notes and the related Guarantees of such series and all Defaults and Events of Default cured on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (“Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes), and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture including that of the Guarantors (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute instruments reasonably requested by the Issuer acknowledging the same) and to have cured all then existing Defaults and Events of Default, except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

-131-

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

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

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

(d) this Section 8.02.

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

If the Issuer exercises Legal Defeasance, the Liens on the Collateral will be released.

Section 8.03. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, with respect to the Notes, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from their obligations under Sections 3.08, 3.09, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17 and 4.18 hereof, and clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 5.01(a), Section 5.01(f) and Section 5.01(h) hereof with respect to all outstanding Notes and the related Guarantees, on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (“Covenant Defeasance”), and such Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to all outstanding Notes and the related Guarantees, the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and the Guarantees of the Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Section 6.01(a)(iii) (solely with respect to the covenants that are released upon a Covenant Defeasance), 6.01(a)(iv), 6.01(a)(v), 6.01(a)(vi) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries subject thereto), 6.01(a)(vii) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries subject thereto), 6.01(a)(viii), 6.01(a)(ix) and 6.01(a)(x) hereof shall not constitute Default or Events of Default.

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

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

(a) the Issuer shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amount as will be sufficient, in the opinion of an Independent Financial Advisor, without consideration of any reinvestment to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on the Notes on the Maturity Date of such principal, premium, if any, or interest on such Notes and the Issuer must specify that such Notes are being defeased to maturity;

-132-

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

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

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

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the beneficial owners of the Notes will not 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;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

-133-

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

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

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

ARTICLE 9

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01. Without Consent of Holders. Notwithstanding Section 9.02 hereof, the Issuer, any Guarantor (with respect to a Guarantee, this Indenture or the Collateral Documents to which it is a party) and the Trustee and/or Collateral Trustee (and any other Agents party thereto (to the extent applicable)), as the case may be, may amend or supplement (or direct the Collateral Trustee to amend or supplement) this Indenture, the Notes, any Guarantee or the Collateral Documents without the consent of any Holder:

In addition, the Holders will be deemed to have consented for purposes of the Collateral Documents to any of the following amendments, waivers and other modifications to the Collateral Documents: (A) to add other parties (or any authorized agent thereof or trustee therefor) holding Secured Indebtedness that is incurred in compliance with this Indenture and the Collateral Documents, (B) to establish that the Liens on any Collateral securing Secured Notes Obligations shall rank equally under the Collateral Trust Agreement with the Liens on such Collateral securing the obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees, all on the terms provided for in the Collateral Trust Agreement as in effect immediately prior to such amendment and (C) to establish that the Liens on any Collateral securing the Working Capital Notes under clauses (x) and (y) of the definition thereof shall rank in first priority and senior with the Liens on such Collateral securing the Secured Notes Obligations.

Other than as set forth above, in executing an amendment or supplement (or providing any direction to the Collateral Trustee), the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive and fully protected in relying upon an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (except if this Indenture provides that no Opinion of Counsel is required) stating that all conditions precedent to such amendment or supplement have been satisfied, that such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, and, with respect to such Opinion of Counsel, that the amendment or supplement constitutes the Issuer’s legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders. Except as provided in Section 9.01 and this Section 9.02, (i) the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees and the Collateral Documents with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of all the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), other than Notes beneficially owned by the Issuer or its Affiliates (excluding any Debt Fund Affiliate; provided that the aggregate amount of Notes held by any Debt Fund Affiliate shall be deemed to be not outstanding to the extent in excess of 49.9% of the amount required for all purposes of calculating whether the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have taken any actions) and, (ii) subject to Sections 6.05 and 6.08 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (which shall be considered waived only with respect to Notes held by consenting Holders), except a default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, any Guarantee, the Notes or the Collateral Documents may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), other than Notes beneficially owned by the Issuer or its Affiliates (excluding any Debt Fund Affiliate; provided that the aggregate amount of Notes held by any Debt Fund Affiliate shall be deemed to be not outstanding to the extent in excess of 49.9% of the amount required for all purposes of calculating whether the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have taken any actions).

Upon the request of the Issuer, and upon the filing with the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, shall join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of such amendment or supplement unless such amendment or supplement affects the Trustee’s or the Collateral Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amendment or supplement.

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

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

-136-

Without the consent of each affected Holder of Notes, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not, with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder:

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

(b) reduce the principal of or change the fixed final maturity of or the Scheduled Amortization Payment of any such Note or alter or waive the provisions with respect to the redemption of such Notes (other than provisions relating to (i) notice periods (to the extent consistent with applicable requirements of clearing and settlement systems) for redemption and conditions to redemption and (ii) Section 3.08, Section 4.10 and Section 4.14 hereof);

(c) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any such Note (other than Section 3.08, Section 4.10 and Section 4.14 hereof);

(d) (A) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such Notes, except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all the then outstanding Notes, and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration, or (B) waive a Default or Event of Default in respect of a covenant or provision contained in this Indenture, the Notes or any Guarantee which cannot be amended or modified without the consent of all affected Holders;

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

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

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

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

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

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the Holders of at least 66-2/3% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), other than Notes beneficially owned by the Issuer or its Affiliates (excluding any Debt Fund Affiliate; provided that the aggregate amount of Notes held by any Debt Fund Affiliate shall be deemed to be not outstanding to the extent in excess of 49.9% of the amount required for all purposes of calculating whether the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have taken any actions), no amendment, supplement or waiver may make any change in any Collateral Document or application of trust proceeds of the Collateral, in each case, in any manner, taken as a whole, materially adverse to the Holders or otherwise release any Collateral other than in accordance with this Indenture and the Collateral Documents.

Neither the Issuer nor any Affiliate of the Issuer shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid to all Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any payment of consideration for, or as an inducement to, any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes in connection with an exchange offer, the Issuer and any Affiliate of the Issuer may exclude (i) any Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes that is a U.S. Person, but is not a QIB and (ii) any Holder or beneficial owner of Notes in any jurisdiction (other than the United States) where the inclusion of such Holders or beneficial owners would require the Issuer or any such Affiliate of the Issuer to comply with the registration requirements or other similar requirements under any securities laws of such jurisdiction or the solicitation of such consent, waiver or amendment from, or the granting of such consent or waiver, or the approval of such amendment by, Holders or beneficial owners in such jurisdiction would be unlawful, in each case as determined by the Issuer in its sole discretion.

-137-

Other than as set forth above, in executing an amendment or supplement (or providing any direction to the Collateral Trustee), the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive and fully protected in replying upon an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (except if this Indenture provides that no Opinion of Counsel is required) stating that all conditions precedent to such amendment or supplement have been satisfied, that such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, and, with respect to such Opinion of Counsel, that the amendment or supplement constitutes the Issuer’s legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

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

The Issuer 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 9.04. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer 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 shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.05. Trustee and Collateral Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. The Trustee or Collateral Trustee, as applicable, shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable. Except as set forth in the last sentence of this Section 9.05, the Issuer may not sign an amendment, supplement or waiver until the Board of the Issuer approves it. In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, shall be provided with and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.03 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (except if this Indenture provides that no Opinion of Counsel is required) each stating that the execution of such amendment or supplement, or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer and any Guarantors party thereto, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel or resolution shall be required for the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, to execute any supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit E hereto, adding a new Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture.

-138-

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

(a) All Notes issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent together on all matters (as to which any of such Notes may vote) as one class and no series of Notes will have the right to vote or consent as a separate series on any matter. Determinations as to whether Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent shall be made in accordance with this Article 9 and Section 9.06(b) hereof.

(b) With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the Holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Notes, such percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (i) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of Notes, the Holders of which have so consented by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Notes then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, Section 2.10 and Section 2.11 of this Indenture. Any such calculation made pursuant to this Section 9.06(b) shall be made by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate.

Section 9.07. No Impairment of Right of Holders to Receive Payment. For the avoidance of doubt, no amendment to, or deletion of any of the covenants under Article 4 or Article 5 or action taken in compliance with the covenants in effect at the time of such action, shall be deemed to impair or affect any legal rights of any Holders of the Notes to receive payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes.

ARTICLE 10

GUARANTEES

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

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

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

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

-139-

Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, the Collateral Trustee and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee. The Subsidiary Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any nonpaying Subsidiary Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantees. Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Subsidiary Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Subsidiary Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

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

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

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

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

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

Section 10.03. Execution and Delivery. To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, subject to Section 10.06 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture (or a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit E hereto) shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its authorized officers.

-140-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(D) upon the merger, amalgamation, consolidation or Division of any Guarantor with and into the Issuer or another Guarantor or upon the liquidation or winding up of such Guarantor, in each case, in compliance with or in a manner not prohibited by the applicable provisions of this Indenture;

(E) the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event;

(F) as provided under Article 9;

-141-

(G) the exercise by the Issuer of its Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance option in accordance with Article 8 hereof or the discharge of the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(H) in accordance with the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other intercreditor agreement entered into in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or

(I) in the case of the Parent Guarantor, if the Parent Guarantor ceases to be the direct parent of the Issuer as a result of a transaction or designation permitted pursuant to the definition of “Parent Guarantor.”

Upon any such occurrence specified above, the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, shall, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate, at the Issuer’s expense, execute any documents reasonably requested by the Issuer in order to evidence such release and discharge in respect of the applicable Guarantor and no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection therewith.

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

ARTICLE 11

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 11.01. Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture with respect to the Notes and the Collateral Documents (other than certain rights of the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee and the Issuer’s obligations with respect thereto) shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued under the Indenture and the Liens on the Collateral for the Notes and the Guarantees will be released, when either:

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

(b) (i) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable or will become due and payable within one year, and the Issuer 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 of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the Maturity Date;

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

(iii) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by them under this Indenture; and

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

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

(a) To the extent required under this Indenture or any of the Collateral Documents, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all further actions that may be required under applicable law, or that the Collateral Trustee or the Trustee may reasonably request, in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the security interests and Liens created or intended to be created by the Collateral Documents in the Collateral. In addition, to the extent required under this Indenture or any of the Collateral Documents, from time to time, the Issuer and the Guarantors will reasonably promptly secure the obligations under this Indenture and Collateral Documents by pledging or creating, or causing to be pledged or created, perfected security interests and Liens with respect to the Collateral to the extent required by this Indenture and/or the Collateral Documents.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, reasonably promptly (and in any case no later than thirty (30) days) following the acquisition of any asset that is required to constitute Collateral, the Issuer and any applicable grantor will execute and deliver to the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Holders such UCC financing statements or take such other actions as shall be necessary to create, grant, establish and perfect the Collateral Trustee’s security interest in such assets or property for the benefit of the current and future Holders, including by joining the Collateral Documents, including the Collateral Trust Agreement, as a grantor thereunder.

Neither the Issuer nor any of the Restricted Subsidiaries shall (i) take or omit to take any action which would materially adversely affect or impair the Liens in favor of the Collateral Trustee and the Holders with respect to the Collateral except in a transaction not prohibited by this Indenture or (ii) grant any Person, or permit any Person to retain (other than the Trustee, the New Exchangeable Notes Trustee and the Collateral Trustee), any Liens on the Collateral other than Permitted Liens.

Section 12.07. Information Regarding Collateral.

(a) The Issuer shall furnish to the Collateral Trustee, with respect to the Issuer or any Guarantor, promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days of such change) written notice of any change in such Person’s (1) legal name, (2) jurisdiction of organization or formation, (3) identity or corporate structure or (4) Organizational Identification Number.

(b) The Issuer and the Guarantors shall not effect or permit any change referred to in clause (a) of this Section 12.07 unless all filings have been made under the Uniform Commercial Code and any other applicable laws that are required by this Indenture and/or the Collateral Documents in order for the Collateral to be made subject to the Lien of the Collateral Trustee under this Indenture and/or the Collateral Documents in the manner and to the extent required by this Indenture or any of the Collateral Documents and shall take all necessary action so that such Lien is perfected with the same priority as immediately prior to such change to the extent required by this Indenture and/or the Collateral Documents.

Section 12.08. Authorization of Actions to be Taken by the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee under the Collateral Documents.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Article 6 of this Indenture and the provisions of the Collateral Documents, each of the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee may (but shall in no event be required to), in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders, on behalf of the Holders, take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to (i) enforce any of its rights or any of the rights of the Holders under the Collateral Documents and (ii) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Collateral in respect of the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors hereunder and thereunder. Subject to the provisions of the Collateral Documents, the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee shall have the power, but not the obligation, to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of the Collateral Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interest and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral.

-146-

(b) None of the Collateral Trustee, Trustee, Paying Agent, Registrar, such other agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents will be responsible or liable for the existence, genuineness, value or protection of any Collateral (except the custody of Collateral in its possession using the same care it provides for its own possessory collateral and the accounting for monies actually received), for the legality, enforceability, effectiveness or sufficiency of the Collateral Documents, or for the creation, perfection, priority, sufficiency or protection of any Liens, including, without limitation, for the filing or renewal of any financing statement or any defect or deficiency. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Trustee shall be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in value of any of the Collateral, including, without limitation, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in good faith. The Trustee and the Collateral Trustee shall be permitted to use overnight carriers to transmit possessory collateral and shall not be liable for any items lost or damaged in transit. In addition, none of the foregoing will have any duties or responsibilities or obligations other than those expressly assumed by it in this Indenture and the Collateral Documents and will not be required to take any action that is contrary to applicable law or any provision of this Indenture or any of the Collateral Documents.

(b) Neither the Issuer nor its Affiliates may serve as Collateral Trustee.

The Issuer may redeem Notes pursuant to one or more of the relevant provisions in this Indenture, and a single notice of redemption may be delivered with respect to redemptions made pursuant to different provisions. Any such notice may provide that redemptions made pursuant to different provisions will have different Redemption Dates.

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of the Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

(d) The Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuer shall promptly (which shall be no more than 20 Business Days after becoming aware of such Default) deliver to the Trustee by registered or certified mail or by facsimile transmission an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.
