For the purpose of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any sale, purchase or other transaction, or the amount of income or earnings relating thereto and the amount of the Consolidated Interest Expense associated with any Debt Incurred or Repaid in connection therewith, the pro forma calculations in respect thereof (including in respect of anticipated cost savings or synergies relating to any such sale, purchase or other transaction, subject to the limitations described in the definition of “EBITDA”) shall be as determined in good faith by the chief financial officer of the Issuer. If any Debt bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Debt shall be calculated as if the base interest rate in effect for such floating rate of interest on the date of determination had been the applicable base interest rate for the entire period (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to such Debt if such Interest Rate Agreement has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). In the event the Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary is sold during the period, the Issuer shall be deemed, for purposes of clause (1) above, to have Repaid during such period the Debt of such Restricted Subsidiary to the extent the Issuer and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer liable for such Debt after such sale.

but excluding amortization of debt issuance cost, and commitment fees, which shall be excluded from Consolidated Interest Expense.

“Consolidated Net Income” means, for any period, the net income (loss) of the Issuer and its consolidated Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that there shall not be included in such Consolidated Net Income:

(a) any net income (loss) of any Person (other than the Issuer) if such Person is not a Restricted Subsidiary, except that:

(1) subject to the exclusion contained in clause (d) below, the equity of the Issuer and its consolidated Restricted Subsidiaries in the net income of any such Person for such period shall be included in such Consolidated Net Income up to the aggregate amount of cash distributed by such Person during such period to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary as a dividend or other distribution (subject, in the case of a dividend or other distribution to a Restricted Subsidiary, to the limitations contained in clause (c) below), and

(2) the equity of the Issuer and its consolidated Restricted Subsidiaries in a net loss of any such Person other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary for such period shall be included in determining such Consolidated Net Income;

(b) any net income (loss) of any Restricted Subsidiary if such Restricted Subsidiary is subject to restrictions, directly or indirectly, on the payment of dividends or the making of distributions, directly or indirectly, to the Issuer, except that:

(1) subject to the exclusion contained in clause (d) below, the equity of the Issuer and its consolidated Restricted Subsidiaries in the net income of any such Restricted Subsidiary for such period shall be included in such Consolidated Net Income up to the aggregate amount of cash distributed by such Restricted Subsidiary during such period to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary as a dividend or other distribution (subject, in the case of a dividend or other distribution to another Restricted Subsidiary, to the limitation contained in this clause), and

(2) the equity of the Issuer and its consolidated Restricted Subsidiaries in a net loss of any such Restricted Subsidiary for such period shall be included in determining such Consolidated Net Income; provided, that for the purpose of calculating Consolidated Net Income as a component of EBITDA, the exclusion from Consolidated Net Income set forth in this clause (b) with respect to a Foreign Restricted Subsidiary shall be disregarded;

(c) any gain (or loss) realized upon the sale or other disposition of any Property of the Issuer or any of its consolidated Subsidiaries that is not sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business;

(d) any extraordinary, non-recurring or unusual gain or loss and any gain or loss in connection with the extinguishment or refinancing of Debt;

(e) the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles;

(f) any non-cash compensation expense realized for grants of performance shares, stock options or other rights to officers, directors and employees of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such shares, options or other rights can be redeemed at the option of the holder only for Capital Stock of the Issuer (other than Disqualified Stock); and

(g) the non-cash effects of purchase accounting under Accounting Standards Codification of the Financial Accounting Standards Board 805 and the amortization of intangibles and any impairment thereof.

THE NOTES

Section 2.01 Form and Dating.

(a) General. The Notes shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage in addition to those set forth on Exhibit A. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Issuer and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

(b) Form of Notes. Notes shall be issued initially in global form and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto, as applicable). Notes issued in definitive form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto, as applicable). Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions and transfers of interests therein. 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 by the Depositary, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.

(c) Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 2.01(c) shall only apply to Global Notes deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary. Participants and Indirect Participants shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Trustee as the custodian for the Depositary or under such Global Note, and the Depositary shall be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Participants or Indirect Participants, the Applicable Procedures or the operation of customary practices of the Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

(d) Participant and Indirect Participant Procedures Applicable. The provisions of operating procedures or terms and conditions governing use or other similar provisions with respect to a Participant shall be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in Global Notes that are held by Participants or Indirect Participants.

Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication. (a) One Officer of the Issuer shall sign the Notes for the Issuer by manual, electronic or facsimile signature.

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

(c) A Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual, electronic or facsimile signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

(d) The Trustee shall, upon a written order of the Issuer signed by an Officer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue.

(e) The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes. Unless otherwise provided in the appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Issuer or any of its respective Subsidiaries.

(f) The Issuer may issue Additional Notes from time to time after the offering of the Initial Notes. The issuance of Additional Notes will be subject to the provisions of Section 2.14 and Section 4.09 hereof. The Initial Notes and any Additional Notes subsequently issued under this Indenture shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase.

Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent. (a) The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuer fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

(b) The Issuer initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

(c) The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Note Custodian with respect to the Global Notes, and the Trustee hereby agrees so to act.

Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. (a) Each Paying Agent shall, and the Issuer shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by the

Paying Agent to the Trustee. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Issuer or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuer, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

(b) The Issuer may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) if applicable, acceptance of an appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Issuer and such successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above. The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee; provided, however, that the Trustee may resign as Paying Agent or Registrar only if the Trustee also resigns as Trustee in accordance with Section 7.08.

Section 2.05 Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the 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 or such shorter time as the Trustee may allow, as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders.

Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Issuer for Definitive Notes if (1) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary, (2) the Issuer in its sole discretion determines that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee; or (3) an Event of Default entitling the Holders to accelerate shall have occurred and be continuing and the Registrar has received a written request from the Depositary to issue Definitive Notes. Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events in (1), (2) or (3) above, Definitive Notes shall be issued in denominations of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof and in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee in writing. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10 hereof. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or 2.10 hereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06 (a); however, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.06(b) or (c) hereof.

(b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Notes shall be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also shall require compliance with either clause (i) or (ii) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following clauses, as applicable:

(i) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Restricted Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Private Placement Legend. Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.06(b)(i).

(ii) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.06(b)(i) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar (1) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase. Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.06(d) hereof.

(iii) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in a Restricted Global Note to Another Restricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.06(b)(ii) above and the Registrar receives the following:

(A) if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the 144A Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (1) thereof; and

(B) if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (2) thereof.

(iv) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in a Restricted Global Note for Beneficial Interests in an Unrestricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be exchanged by any Holder thereof for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note or transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note if the exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.06(b)(ii) above and the Registrar receives the following:

(A) if the Holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, a certificate from such Holder in the form of Exhibit C hereto, including the certifications in item (1)(a) thereof; or

(B) if the Holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, a certificate from such Holder in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (4) thereof;

and, in each such case set forth in this Section 2.06(b)(iv), if the Registrar or the Issuer so requests or if the Applicable Procedures so require, an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Registrar to the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act.

If any such transfer is effected pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(iv) at a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of beneficial interests transferred pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(iv).

(v) Transfer or Exchange of Beneficial Interests in Unrestricted Global Notes for Beneficial Interests in Restricted Global Notes Prohibited. Beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note cannot be exchanged for, or transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of, a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note.

(c) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, except as set forth in Section 2.06(c)(ii), beneficial interests in a Temporary Regulation S Global Note shall not be exchangeable for interests in a Rule 144A Global Note, a permanent global note (the “Permanent Regulation S Global Note”) or any other Note prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to such Temporary Regulation S Global Note, and then, after the expiration of the Restricted Period, may be exchanged for interests in a Rule 144A Global Note or the Permanent Regulation S Global Note only upon certification in form reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee that the beneficial ownership interests in such Temporary Regulation S Global Note are owned either by non-U.S. persons or U.S. persons who purchased such interests in a transaction that did not require registration under the Securities Act.

(ii) Prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, (A) beneficial interests in a Temporary Regulation S Global Note may be exchanged for beneficial interests in a Rule 144A Global Note only if (I) such exchange occurs in connection with a transfer of the Notes pursuant to Rule 144A, (II) the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate to the effect that the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Note is being transferred to a Person who the transferor reasonably believes to be a QIB and is purchasing for its own account or the account of a QIB, in each case in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, and (III) the transfer is in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and other jurisdictions; provided, however, that after the expiration of the Restricted Period, such certification requirements shall not apply to such transfers of beneficial interests in a Restricted Global Note representing Regulation S Global Notes, and (B) beneficial ownership interests in Temporary Regulation S Global Notes may only be sold, pledged or transferred in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary and only (I) to the Issuer, (II) in an offshore transaction in accordance with Regulation S (other than a transaction resulting in an exchange for an interest in a Permanent Regulation S Global Note) or (III) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each case, in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States.

(iv) Temporary Regulation S Legend. The following legend shall appear on the face of each Temporary Regulation S Global Note.

“THE RIGHTS ATTACHING TO THIS TEMPORARY REGULATION S GLOBAL NOTE, AND THE CONDITIONS AND PROCEDURES GOVERNING (I) THE EXCHANGE OF BENEFICIAL INTERESTS IN THIS TEMPORARY REGULATION S GLOBAL NOTE FOR INTERESTS IN THE PERMANENT REGULATION S GLOBAL NOTE OR RULE 144A GLOBAL NOTE AND (II) THE TRANSFER OF INTERESTS IN THIS TEMPORARY REGULATION S GLOBAL NOTE, ARE AS SPECIFIED IN THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO HEREIN.”

(e) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or cancelled in whole and not in part, then such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a

beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

(f) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02, the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon the Issuer’s order.

(ii) No service charge shall be made to a Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessment or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes, assessments or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 4.12, 4.17 and 9.05 hereof).

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

(iv) Neither the Registrar nor the Issuer shall be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part or (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

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

(vi) The Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.

(vii) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile.

(viii) The Trustee is hereby authorized to enter into a letter of representations with the Depositary in the form provided by the Issuer and to act in accordance with such letter.

Section 2.07 Replacement Notes. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if a Holder of a Note claims that any Note has been destroyed, lost or stolen and the Issuer receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s and the Issuer’s requirements are met, including the requesting Holder satisfying the requirements of the Trustee and the Issuer within a reasonable time after such Holder has notice of such destruction, loss or theft, and the Registrar shall not register a transfer prior to receiving such notification. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements of replacing such Note).

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note had become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer, in its discretion, may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph.

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuer (but shall not be an Incurrence of Debt) and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

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

Section 2.08 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 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or its Affiliate holds the Note.

(a) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser in whose hands such Note is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer.

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

(c) If the Paying Agent holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay all principal, premium and interest, if any, on the Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.09 Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, amendment, supplement, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer, or by any Affiliate of the Issuer, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, amendment, supplement, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

Section 2.10 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 Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuer consider appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes; provided that such Definitive Notes issued in replacement for the temporary Notes shall not be an Incurrence of Debt. Until such exchange, holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as definitive Notes.

Section 2.11 Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. Upon direction of the Issuer, the Trustee 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 accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act). The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or redeemed or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall not authenticate Notes in place of cancelled Notes other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

Section 2.12 Payment of Interest; Defaulted Interest. Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Note is being registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest payment.

If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest, if any, 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, at the election of the Issuer, either (i) the Regular Record Date or (ii) 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, whether it is electing to pay such defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on the Regular Record Date or a special record date and the date of the proposed payment. If the Issuer elects to fix a special record date, (a) the Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date, provided that no such special record date shall be less than 5 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest and (b) at least 10 days before the 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 mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.13 CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Issuer, in issuing the Notes, may use CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, 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 a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers.

Section 2.14 Issuance of Additional Notes. The Issuer shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Sections 4.09 and 4.11 hereof, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture which shall have identical terms as the Initial Notes, other than with respect to the issue date, the issue price and amount of interest payable on the first Interest Payment Date applicable thereto. The Initial Notes issued on the date hereof and any Additional Notes shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; provided, however, that any Additional Notes that are not fungible with the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall have a separate CUSIP and/or ISIN number.

With respect to any Additional Notes, the Issuer shall set forth in a Board Resolution of its Board of Directors and an Officer’s Certificate, a copy of each of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:

(a) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture;

(b) the issue price, the issue date, the first Interest Payment Date and the CUSIP and/or ISIN number of such Additional Notes; and

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

Section 3.01 Notices to Trustee. If the Issuer elects to redeem the Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof and paragraph 5 of the Notes, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 10 days before a redemption date unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (i) the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price. Any such notice may be cancelled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being mailed to any Holder and shall, if so canceled, be void and of no effect.

Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed at any time and such Notes are not listed on any national securities exchange, the Trustee, in its sole discretion, will select the Notes for redemption on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. If such Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, the Trustee will select such Notes for redemption in compliance with the requirements of such exchange. No Notes of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption. Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail at least 10 days but not more than 60 days (except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture) before the redemption date, the Issuer shall mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail or, if the Notes are held through the Depositary, through the Applicable Procedures, a notice of redemption to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address.

The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including the CUSIP number) and shall state:

(a) the redemption date;

(b) the redemption price or a calculation or formula for calculation of the redemption price;

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

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

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

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

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

(h) any condition precedent to such redemption; and

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

At the Issuer’s direction, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 10 days, or such shorter period allowed by the Trustee, prior to the redemption date, an Officer’s Certificate directing the Trustee to give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in this Section 3.03.

Any notice of redemption made in connection with a related transaction or event (including, without limitation, a Change of Control, Asset Sale, financing or other transaction) may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be given prior to the completion or the occurrence thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, the completion or occurrence of the related transaction or event, as the case may be. In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice will describe each such condition, and if applicable, will state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions are satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion), or that such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions are not satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion) by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed, or that such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer’s discretion if as determined in good faith by the Issuer, any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. The Issuer will provide the Trustee with written notice of the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions precedent, the delay of such redemption or the rescission of such notice of redemption in the same manner that the related notice of redemption was given to the Trustee, and, at the request of the Issuer, the Trustee will send a copy of such notice to the holders in the same manner that the related notice of redemption was given to such holders. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price. Such notice, if mailed or otherwise provided in the manner provided by Section 3.03, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given whether or not the Holder receives such notice.

Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption Price. On or before 11:00 a.m. Eastern time on the redemption date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes (or portions of Notes) to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed.

If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest, if any, shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption, whether or not such Notes are presented for payment. If a Note is redeemed on or after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest, if any, shall be paid on the unpaid principal from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall issue and, upon the Issuer’s written request, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

Section 3.07 Optional Redemption. (a) Except as set forth in clause (b) or (c) of this Section 3.07, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Issuer’s option prior to March 15, 2022. On or after such date, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice (except that redemption notices may be provided more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if such notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of Notes of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the redemption date).

(b) In addition, at any time on or prior to March 15, 2022, the Issuer may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under this Indenture at a redemption price equal to 110.00% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the redemption date), with the net cash proceeds of any one or more Equity Offerings; provided that:

(i) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under this Indenture (excluding Notes held by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and

(ii) the redemption occurs within 120 days of the closing of such Equity Offering.

(c) At any time on or prior to March 15, 2022, the Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part at the option of the Issuer, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice (except that redemption notices may be provided more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if such notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture), mailed by first-class mail to each holder’s registered address or, if the Notes are held through the Depositary, through the Applicable Procedures, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Notes to be redeemed plus the Applicable Premium then in effect, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of the redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the redemption date) (the “Make-Whole Redemption Date”).

(d) The Issuer may acquire Notes by means other than redemption, whether by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with applicable securities laws, so long as such acquisitions do not otherwise violate the terms of this Indenture.

Section 3.08 Mandatory Redemption. The Issuer shall not be required to make any sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. Except as provided in Section 4.12 or 4.17, the Issuer shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or repurchase with respect to the Notes.

Section 3.09 Offer To Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds(a) . (a) In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.12 hereof, the Issuer shall be required to commence a Collateral Sale Offer or Non-Collateral Sale Offer, as the case may be (each, an “Asset Sale Offer”), it shall follow the procedures specified below.

(b) The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Issuer shall purchase the principal amount of Notes required to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.12 hereof (the “Offer Amount”) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

If the Purchase Date is on or after a Regular Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.

Upon the commencement of the Asset Sale Offer, the Issuer shall send, by first class mail or, if the Notes are held through the Depositary, through the Applicable Procedures, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall state:

(i) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.12 hereof and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer shall remain open;

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

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

(iv) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall cease to accrue interest, if any, after the Purchase Date;

(v) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof only;

(vi) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer shall be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Issuer, the Depositary, or the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the expiration of the Offer Period;

(vii) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased;

(viii) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the Issuer shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof shall be purchased); and

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

On or before the Purchase Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09. The Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five Business Days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Issuer for purchase, and the Issuer shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Issuer shall authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuer to the Holder thereof. The Issuer shall publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase Date.

Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.01 through Section 3.06 hereof.

Section 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency. (a) The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency (which may be an office or drop facility of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

(b) The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations.

(b) If such filings are not made with the Commission, or such filings are not generally available on the Internet free of charge, the Issuer shall, within 15 days of each Required Filing Date, at the Issuer’s option, either (i) transmit by mail to holders of the Notes, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, without cost to such holders or (ii) post such information on a password-protected online data system (which may be nonpublic and maintained by the Issuer or a third party) that will require a confidentiality acknowledgement, and shall make such information available to holders, any eligible bona fide prospective investors in the Notes that certify their status as such to the reasonable satisfaction of the Issuer, any bona fide securities analysts (to the extent providing analysis of investment in the Notes to investors and prospective investors therein) and any bona fide market maker in the Notes, and, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii), provide the Trustee copies of the annual reports, quarterly reports and other periodic reports that the Issuer would be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Issuer were subject to such Section 13(a) or 15(d). Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

excluding, in the case of clause (1) or (2),

(x) any such Debt or Disqualified Stock issued or sold to the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer or an employee stock ownership plan or trust established by the Issuer or any such Subsidiary for the benefit of their employees, and

(2) the portion (proportionate to the Issuer’s equity interest in such Unrestricted Subsidiary) of the Fair Market Value of an Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time such Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the foregoing sum in clause (1) or (2) above shall not exceed, in the case of any Person, the amount of Investments previously made (and treated as a Restricted Payment for purposes of clause (a)(iii) of this Section 4.10) by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Person.

(ii) at least 75% of the consideration paid to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such Asset Sale is in the form of

(A) cash or cash equivalents;

(B) notes or obligations that are converted into cash (to the extent of the cash received) within 90 days of such Asset Sale;

(C) the assumption by the purchaser of liabilities of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantee) as a result of which the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer obligated with respect to such liabilities;

(D) Additional Assets of the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor that constitute Qualifying Assets and/or

(E) Designated Non-Cash Consideration; and

(iii) to the extent that any consideration from such Asset Sales received by the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, constitutes securities or other assets that constitute Collateral, such securities or other assets, including the assets of any Person that becomes a Guarantor as a result of such transaction that constitute Collateral, are added to the Collateral securing the Notes (as Notes Priority Collateral or ABL Priority Collateral, as applicable) in the manner provided for in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture or any of the Security Documents.

(b) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Net Available Cash (or any portion thereof) from Asset Sales of Collateral may be applied by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary elects (or is required by the terms of any Debt):

(i) with respect to Net Available Cash from Asset Sales of ABL Priority Collateral, to permanently Repay (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto in the case of revolving borrowings) ABL Obligations and Pari Passu ABL Lien Debt other than a Foreign ABL Facility (it being understood and agreed that any payment of ABL Obligations of the Issuer and/or any Subsidiary Guarantor under an ABL Credit Agreement that also governs a Foreign ABL Facility will be permitted under this clause (b)(i));

(ii) with respect to Net Available Cash from Asset Sales of Notes Priority Collateral, to permanently Repay (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto in the case of revolving borrowings) Secured Notes Collateral Obligations; provided that if the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary Repays any Secured Notes Collateral Obligations other than the Notes, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary must equally and ratably redeem or repurchase (or offer to repurchase) the Notes, at the Issuer’s option, as provided for under Section 3.07 hereof, through open market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at a purchase price at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any) or by making an offer to all holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest (and such offer shall be deemed for purposes of this covenant

to be a use of proceeds from an Asset Sale equal to the aggregate amount of Net Available Proceeds offered to the holders of Notes or any other Secured Notes Collateral Obligations, as applicable, whether or not the offer is accepted by any or all holders of Notes or any other Secured Notes Collateral Obligations)

(iii) (A)(I) to have the Issuer and/or any Subsidiary Guarantor acquire or reinvest in Additional Assets that constitute Qualifying Assets (including by means of an Investment in Additional Assets that constitute Qualifying Assets by a Subsidiary Guarantor with Net Available Cash received by the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary) or (II) to have the Issuer and/or any Subsidiary Guarantor make capital expenditures in respect of Additional Assets of the Issuer and/or any Subsidiary Guarantor that constitute Qualifying Assets, in each case which Qualifying Assets, if such Qualifying Assets constitute Collateral, are thereupon with their acquisition added to the Collateral securing the Notes in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of the Security Documents or (B) to make Investments in the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor; or

(iv) a combination of the Repayments and reinvestments permitted by the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii).

(c) Any Net Available Cash from Asset Sales of Collateral in the aggregate not applied in accordance with clause (b) of this Section 4.12 within 365 days from the date of the receipt of such Net Available Cash shall constitute “Excess Collateral Proceeds.”

(d) When the aggregate amount of Excess Collateral Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Issuer will be required to make an offer (a “Collateral Sale Offer”) to all holders of Notes to purchase the maximum principal amount of the Notes (on a pro rata basis) and, if required by the terms of any other Pari Passu Notes Lien Debt, to the holders of such Pari Passu Notes Lien Debt (on a pro rata basis), to which the Collateral Sale Offer applies that may be purchased out of the Excess Collateral Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and such other Pari Passu Notes Lien Debt or, in each case, if less, the accreted value thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof with respect to the Notes. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to a Collateral Sale Offer (together with, if required by the terms of any other Pari Passu Notes Lien Debt, the amount of Pari Passu Notes Lien Debt tendered pursuant to any similar requirement), is less than the Excess Collateral Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Collateral Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to the other covenants contained in the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by holders of the Notes and, if required by the holders of Pari Passu Notes Lien Debt, holders of any Pari Passu Notes Lien Debt exceeds the amount of Excess Collateral Proceeds, the Notes and Pari Passu Notes Lien Debt to be purchased shall be selected on a pro rata basis on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of tendered Notes and Pari Passu Notes Lien Debt. Upon completion of such Collateral Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Collateral Proceeds shall be reset at zero. The Issuer may make a Collateral Sale Offer if Excess Collateral Proceeds are less than $25.0 million and prior to 365 days after an Asset Sale of Collateral.

(e) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Sale (other than Asset Sales of Collateral, which shall be treated in the manner set forth in the foregoing provisions) unless:

(ii) at least 75% of the consideration paid to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such Asset Sale is in the form of (i) cash or cash equivalents, (ii) notes or obligations that are converted into cash (to the extent of the cash received) within 90 days of such Asset Sale, (iii) the assumption by the purchaser of liabilities of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantee) as a result of which the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer obligated with respect to such liabilities, (iv) Additional Assets and/or (v) Designated Non-Cash Consideration.

(f) The Net Available Cash (or any portion thereof) from Asset Sales of non-Collateral may be applied by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary elects (or is required by the terms of any Debt):

(i) to permanently Repay (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto in the case of revolving borrowings) (i) Bank Obligations, (ii) any ABL Obligations or (iii) Debt of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor;

(ii) to acquire or reinvest in Additional Assets (including by means of an Investment in Additional Assets by a Restricted Subsidiary with Net Available Cash received by the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary) or to make capital expenditures;

(iii) with respect to Net Available Cash from the Specified Financing Transactions, to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any Remaining Senior Notes; or

(iv) a combination of the repayments and reinvestments permitted by the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii).

(g) Any Net Available Cash from Asset Sales of non-Collateral in the aggregate not applied in accordance with clause (f) of this Section 4.12 within 365 days from the date of the receipt of such Net Available Cash shall constitute “Excess Non-Collateral Proceeds”; provided, that in no event shall the Net Available Cash from the Specified Financing Transactions be deemed Excess Non-Collateral Proceeds or Excess Collateral Proceeds.

(h) When the aggregate amount of Excess Non-Collateral Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million, the Issuer will be required to make an offer (a “Non-Collateral Sale Offer”) to all holders of Notes to purchase the maximum principal amount of the Notes (on a pro rata basis) and, if required by the terms of any other Pari Passu Notes Lien Debt, to the holders of such Pari Passu Notes Lien Debt (on a pro rata basis), to which the Non-Collateral Sale Offer applies that may be purchased out of the Excess Non-Collateral Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an

amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and such other Pari Passu Notes Lien Debt or, in each case, if less, the accreted value thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof with respect to the Notes. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to a Non-Collateral Sale Offer (together with, if required by the terms of any other Pari Passu Notes Lien Debt, the amount of Pari Passu Notes Lien Debt tendered pursuant to any similar requirement), is less than the Excess Non-Collateral Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Non-Collateral Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to the other covenants contained in the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by holders of the Notes and, if required by the holders of Pari Passu Notes Lien Debt, holders of any Pari Passu Notes Lien Debt exceeds the amount of Excess Non-Collateral Proceeds, the Notes and Pari Passu Notes Lien Debt to be purchased shall be selected on a pro rata basis on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of tendered Notes and Pari Passu Notes Lien Debt. Upon completion of such Non-Collateral Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Non-Collateral Proceeds shall be reset at zero. The Issuer may make a Non-Collateral Sale Offer if Excess Non-Collateral Proceeds are less than $50.0 million and prior to 365 days after an Asset Sale of Non-Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Net Available Proceeds or Excess Non-Collateral Proceeds are required to be applied to prepay Debt under the ABL Credit Agreement or other Pari Passu ABL Lien Debt, the Issuer may make a prepayment with respect to such Debt out of such Net Available Proceeds or Excess Non-Collateral Proceeds, at a price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Debt, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of prepayment (and correspondingly reduce commitments with respect to the ABL Credit Agreement or other Pari Passu ABL Lien Debt if such repayment is made with the proceeds of Note Priority Collateral).

(i) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 4.12, (i) to the extent that any of or all the Net Available Cash of any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Disposition”) is (x) prohibited or delayed by applicable local law, (y) restricted by applicable organizational documents or any agreement or (z) subject to other onerous organizational or administrative impediments from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Available Cash so affected will not be required to be applied in compliance with this covenant, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law, documents or agreements will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Issuer hereby agreeing to use reasonable efforts (as determined in the Issuer’s reasonable business judgment) to otherwise cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to within one year following the date on which the respective payment would otherwise have been required, promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law, applicable organizational impediments or other impediment to permit such repatriation), and if within one year following the date on which the respective payment would otherwise have been required such repatriation of any of such affected Net Available Cash is permitted under the applicable local law, applicable organizational impediment or other impediment, such repatriation will be promptly effected and the amount of such repatriated Net Available Cash will be promptly (and in any event not later than five (5) Business Days after such repatriation could be made) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) (whether or not repatriation actually occurs) in compliance with this covenant and (ii) to the extent that the Issuer has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Available Cash of any Foreign

Disposition would have an adverse tax consequence (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 equity owners would incur a tax liability, including a tax dividend, deemed dividend pursuant to Code Section 956 or a withholding tax), the Net Available Cash so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary. 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.

(j) Within five Business Days after the Issuer is obligated to make either a Collateral Sale Offer or a Non-Collateral Sale Offer as described in this Section 4.12, the Issuer shall send a written notice, by first-class mail, to the Holders of Notes, accompanied by such information regarding the Issuer and its Subsidiaries as the Issuer in good faith believes will enable such Holders to make an informed decision with respect to such Asset Sale Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase price and the Purchase Date, which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed.

(k) Pending final application of the Net Available Cash from Asset Sales, Excess Collateral Proceeds or Excess Non-Collateral Proceeds, as applicable, as provided under this Indenture, the Issuer may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings under its ABL Credit Facility or otherwise invest such Net Available Cash from Asset Sales, Excess Collateral Proceeds or Excess Non-Collateral Proceeds, as applicable, in Temporary Cash Investments.

(l) The Issuer will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with any repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.12. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.12, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.12 by virtue thereof.

Section 4.13 Limitation on Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. (a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist any consensual restriction on the right of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(i) pay dividends, in cash or otherwise, or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock, or pay any Debt or other obligation owed, to the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary,

(ii) make any loans or advances to the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary; or

(iii) transfer any of its Property to the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary.

(b) The foregoing limitations will not apply:

(i) with respect to clauses (a)(i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 4.13, to:

(A) restrictions in effect on the Settlement Date, including, without limitation, (i) restrictions pursuant to the Notes, the Indenture (including any Subsidiary Guarantees of the Notes) and the Security Documents, (ii) restrictions pursuant to Credit Facilities (including, for such purposes, restrictions in effect under the ABL Credit Facility) and (iii) restrictions pursuant to any Remaining Senior Notes and the indenture governing the Remaining Senior Notes (including related Guarantees of the Remaining Senior Notes);

(B) restrictions relating to Debt or Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary and existing at the time it became a Restricted Subsidiary if such restriction was not created in connection with or in anticipation of the transaction or series of transactions pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was acquired by the Issuer, and any amendments, restatements, renewals or other modifications of these instruments, provided that the encumbrances or restrictions contained in any such amendments, restatements, renewals or other modifications, taken as a whole, are not materially more restrictive than the encumbrances or restrictions contained in documents in effect on the date of acquisition;

(D) restrictions that result from the Repayment of Debt Incurred pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (E) of this Section 4.13(b)(i); provided such restrictions are not, taken as a whole, in the good faith judgment of the Issuer, materially less favorable to the Holders of Notes than those under the agreement evidencing the Debt so Repaid;

(E) any other agreement governing Debt entered into after the Settlement Date that contains encumbrances and restrictions that are not, taken as a whole, materially more restrictive with respect to any Restricted Subsidiary than those in effect on the Settlement Date with respect to that Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to agreements in effect on the Settlement Date as determined in good faith by the Issuer;

(F) any restrictions applicable only to Foreign Restricted Subsidiaries; or

(G) Liens securing obligations otherwise permitted to be Incurred under the provisions of the covenants described under Section 4.11 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

(ii) with respect to clause (a)(iii) of this Section 4.13 only, to restrictions:

(A) relating to Debt that is permitted to be Incurred and secured without also securing the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.09 and Section 4.11 of this Indenture only to the extent that such restrictions limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the Property securing such Debt;

(B) encumbering Property at the time such Property was acquired by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, so long as such restriction relates solely to the Property so acquired and was not created in connection with or in anticipation of such acquisition;

(C) resulting from customary restrictions contained in asset sale, stock purchase, merger or other similar agreements limiting the transfer of such Property pending the closing of such sale;

(D) resulting from restrictions relating to the common stock of Unrestricted Subsidiaries;

(E) resulting from encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(F) resulting from encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(G) resulting from restrictions on cash, Temporary Cash Investments or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers or lessors under contracts or leases entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(H) resulting from customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of leases or customary provisions in other agreements that restrict assignment of such agreements or rights thereunder; or

(I) imposed under any Purchase Money Debt or Capital Lease Obligation in the ordinary course of business with respect only to the Property the subject thereof.

Section 4.14 Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. (a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, conduct any business or enter into or suffer to exist any transaction or series of related transactions (including the purchase, sale, transfer, assignment, lease, conveyance or exchange of any Property or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Issuer involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million (an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:

(i) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are not less favorable to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Issuer;

(ii) if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments or value in excess of $25.0 million, the Board of Directors (including at least a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors) approves such Affiliate Transaction and, in its good faith judgment, believes that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (a)(i) of this Section 4.14 as evidenced by a Board Resolution promptly delivered to the Trustee; and

(iii) if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments or value in excess of $50.0 million, the Issuer obtains a written opinion from an Independent Financial Advisor to the effect that the consideration to be paid or received in connection with such Affiliate Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may enter into or suffer to exist the following Affiliate Transactions:

(i) any transaction or series of transactions between the Issuer and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or between two or more Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business;

(ii) any Restricted Payment permitted to be made pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof or any Permitted Investment;

(iii) the payment of compensation (including awards or grants in cash, securities or other payments) for the personal services of officers and directors of the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries entered into by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business or, if not entered into in the ordinary course of business, that the Board of Directors in good faith shall have approved the terms thereof and deemed the services theretofore or thereafter to be performed for such compensation to be fair consideration therefor;

(iv) payments made by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business pursuant to employment agreements, collective bargaining agreements, employee benefit plans, officer or director indemnification agreements or arrangements for employees, officers or directors, including health and life insurance plans, deferred compensation plans, directors’ and officers’ indemnification agreements and retirement or savings plans, stock option, stock ownership and similar plans and the entering into of such agreements and plans by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business;

(v) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Issuer) that is an Affiliate of the Issuer solely because the Issuer owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, Capital Stock of, or controls, such Person;

(vi) loans or advances to employees or consultants in the ordinary course of business or consistent with past practice not to exceed $5 million in the aggregate at any one time outstanding;

(vii) transactions with Unrestricted Subsidiaries, customers, clients, suppliers, joint venture partners or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, or lessors or lessees of property, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture which are, in the aggregate (taking into account all the

costs and benefits associated with such transactions), materially no less favorable to the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors of the Issuer or senior management thereof, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party;

(viii) the issuance or sale of any Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Capital Stock) of the Issuer;

(ix) any agreement or arrangement as in effect on the Settlement Date or any amendment to any such agreement or arrangement (so long as such amendment is not disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes in any material respect) or any transaction contemplated thereby;

(x) the granting and performance of registration rights for shares of Capital Stock of the Issuer if approved by the Board of Directors; and

(xi) a merger or consolidation of the Issuer with an Affiliate that is permitted under Article 5.

Section 4.15 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. (a) As of the Settlement Date, there are no Unrestricted Subsidiaries. After the Settlement Date, the Issuer may designate any Subsidiary of the Issuer (other than a Subsidiary of the Issuer which owns Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary) as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (a “Designation”) only if:

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

(ii) the Issuer would be permitted under this Indenture to make an Investment at the time of Designation (assuming the effectiveness of such Designation) in an amount (the “Designation Amount”) equal to the sum of (A) the Fair Market Value of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary owned by the Issuer and/or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries on such date and (B) the aggregate amount of Debt of such Subsidiary owed to the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries on such date.

(b) In the event of any such Designation, the Issuer shall be deemed to have made an Investment constituting a Restricted Payment in the Designation Amount pursuant to Section 4.10 for all purposes of this Indenture.

(1) provide direct or indirect credit support for or a guarantee of any Debt of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any undertaking agreement or instrument evidencing such Debt);

(2) be directly or indirectly liable for any Debt of any Unrestricted Subsidiary; or

(3) be directly or indirectly liable for any Debt which provides that the holder thereof may (upon notice, lapse of time or both) declare a default thereon or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or payable prior to its final scheduled maturity upon the occurrence of a default with respect to any Debt of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any right to take enforcement action against such Unrestricted Subsidiary), except, in each of (1), (2) or (3), to the extent permitted under Section 4.10.

(d) The Issuer may revoke any Designation of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (a “Revocation”), whereupon such Subsidiary shall then constitute a Restricted Subsidiary, if:

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

(2) all Liens and Debt of such Unrestricted Subsidiaries outstanding immediately following such Revocation would, if incurred at such time, have been permitted to be incurred for all purposes of this Indenture.

(e) All Designations and Revocations must be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee certifying compliance with the foregoing provisions.

Section 4.16 Guarantees by Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries. (a) Each Domestic Restricted Subsidiary that (x) Guarantees any other Debt of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount in excess of $25.0 million or (y) becomes a borrower, obligor or guarantor under any Credit Facility of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor (including the ABL Credit Facility) must promptly (and in any case within 30 days thereof) execute and deliver a supplemental indenture to this Indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit E providing for a full and unconditional Guarantee of the payment of the Notes; provided that this paragraph shall not be applicable to:

(1) any Guarantee of any Domestic Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary and was not Incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary; or

(2) any Guarantee arising under or in connection with performance bonds, indemnity bonds, surety bonds and letters of credit or bankers’ acceptances.

If the Debt that gives rise to the obligation to provide a Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to the preceding paragraph is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or any such Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes, as applicable, pursuant to a written agreement to that effect, such Debt must be subordinated in right of payment to such Subsidiary Guarantee of the Notes to at least the extent that such Debt is subordinated to the Notes.

(b) Each Domestic Restricted Subsidiary that becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor on or after the Settlement Date shall, also within 30 days thereof, become a party to the applicable Security Documents (including the Intercreditor Agreement) and shall as promptly as practicable execute and deliver such security instruments, financing statements, certificates, Officer’s Certificates and Opinions of Counsel (to the extent, and substantially in the form, delivered on the Settlement Date) as may be necessary to vest in the Notes Collateral Agent a perfected first- or second-priority security interest, as the case may be (subject to Permitted Liens and Liens not securing Debt), in properties and assets that constitute Collateral as security for the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees and as may be necessary to have such property or asset added to the applicable Collateral as required under the Security Documents and this Indenture, and thereupon all provisions of the Indenture and the Security Documents relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such properties and assets to the same extent and with the same force and effect.

(1) the sale of the Capital Stock of the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Indenture such that it is no longer a Subsidiary of the Issuer,

(2) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Indenture,

(3) the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee of the obligations on all Debt of the Issuer and such Subsidiary Guarantor would not otherwise be required to Guarantee the Notes pursuant to this covenant,

(4) the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor’s becoming an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, or

(5) upon discharge of this Indenture or a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under the terms of this Indenture.

so long as in the case of clauses (c)(1) and (2) of this Section 4.16, any Subsidiary Guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor of Debt of the Issuer or any of its other Restricted Subsidiaries (other than the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee) is fully and unconditionally released prior thereto or simultaneously therewith.

Section 4.17 Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder will have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at an offer price, in cash (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”), equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date) (the “Change of Control Payment”) on a date that is not more than 90 days after the occurrence of such Change of Control (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); provided, however, that, notwithstanding

the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuer shall not be obligated to purchase the Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer in the event that it has mailed the notice to exercise its rights to redeem all of the Notes under Section 3.07 at any time prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control Offer.

No later than 30 days following any Change of Control, unless the Issuer has mailed a redemption notice with respect to all of the outstanding Notes in accordance with Section 3.07, the Issuer shall:

(i) cause a notice of the Change of Control Offer to be sent at least once to the Dow Xxxxx News Service or similar business news service in the United States and

(ii) send, with a copy to the Trustee, or, at the Issuer’s request the Trustee shall send, by first-class mail, to each Holder, at such Holder’s address appearing in the securities register maintained in respect of the Notes by the Registrar (the “Security Register”) or, if the Notes are held through the Depositary, through the Applicable Procedures, a notice stating:

(A) that a Change of Control has occurred and a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.17 and that all Notes timely tendered will be accepted for payment;

(B) the Change of Control Purchase Price and the Change of Control Payment Date, which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, a Business Day no later than 90 days after the occurrence of a Change of Control;

(D) the procedures that Holders must follow in order to tender their Notes (or portions thereof) for payment, and the procedures that Holders must follow in order to withdraw an election to tender Notes (or portions thereof) for payment.

If the Change of Control Offer notice is sent prior to the occurrence of the Change of Control, the Change of Control Offer shall be conditioned upon the occurrence of the Change of Control. The Issuer will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.17, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.17 by virtue of such compliance.

(b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful,

(i) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(ii) deposit with the applicable Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries is acting as the Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust) an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control Payments in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and

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

The applicable Paying Agent shall promptly mail or deliver to each Holder of Notes validly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(c) If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after a Regular Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered, at the close of business on such Regular Record Date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender pursuant to the Change of Control Offer.

(d) [Reserved]

(e) The Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes a Change of Control Offer at the same or higher purchase price, at the same times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements applicable to a Change of Control Offer otherwise required to be made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

Section 4.18 Covenant Suspension. (a) During any period of time that (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default or Event of 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”), the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the following provisions of this Indenture:

(1) Section 4.09;

(2) Section 4.10;

(3) Section 4.12;

(4) Section 4.13;

(5) Section 4.14;

(6) Section 4.15; and

(7) Section 5.01(a)(iv)

(collectively, the “Specified Covenants”). Upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Excess Collateral Proceeds or Excess Non-Collateral Proceeds, as applicable, from Asset Sales shall be set at zero.

(b) If, after a Covenant Suspension Event, either of the Rating Agencies withdraws its rating or downgrades the ratings assigned to the Notes below the required Investment Grade Ratings such that both Rating Agencies at such time shall not have assigned to the Notes an Investment Grade Rating or a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Specified Covenants, compliance with the Specified Covenants with respect to Restricted Payments made after the time of such withdrawal, downgrade, Default or Event of Default will be calculated in accordance with the terms of Section 4.10 as though such covenant had been in effect during the entire period of time from the Settlement Date and Excess Collateral Proceeds or Excess Non-Collateral Proceeds, as applicable, from an Asset Sale shall only include proceeds from any Asset Sale consummated at the time the Specified Covenants were in effect and not proceeds from any Asset Sale consummated during the time that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries were not subject to the Specified Covenants; provided, however, that there will not be deemed to have occurred a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Specified Covenants during the time that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries were not subject to the Specified Covenants (or upon termination of the suspension period or after that time based solely on events that occurred during the suspension period).

(vii) the occurrence of a default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Debt by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or any Debt Guaranteed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries if the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary does not perform its payment obligations under such Guarantee within any grace period provided for in the documentation governing such Guarantee), whether such Debt or Guarantee existed on the Settlement Date or is thereafter created, which default (a)

constitutes a Payment Default or (b) results in the acceleration of such Debt prior to its Stated Maturity, and in each of clause (a) and (b), the principal amount of any such Debt, together with the principal amount of any other such Debt under which there has been a Payment Default or that has been so accelerated, aggregates $50 million or more;

(viii) one or more judgments or orders that exceed $50 million in the aggregate (net of amounts covered by insurance or bonded) for the payment of money have been entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction against the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary and such judgment or judgments have not been satisfied, stayed, annulled or rescinded within 30 days of being entered;

(ix) the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(A) commences a voluntary insolvency proceeding;

(B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary insolvency proceeding;

(D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;

or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency; provided, however, that the liquidation of any Significant Subsidiary into another Restricted Subsidiary or the Issuer other than as part of a credit reorganization, shall not constitute an Event of Default under this clause (ix);

(x) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

(A) is for relief against the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (or such Subsidiary Guarantors that taken together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) or for any substantial part of its Property;

(B) with respect to any Collateral having a fair market value in excess of $25.0 million, individually or in the aggregate, (x) the failure of the security interest with respect to such Collateral under the Security Documents, at any time, to be in full force and effect in any material respect for any reason other than in accordance with the terms of the relevant Security Documents and the terms of the Indenture or the Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, and other than the satisfaction in full of all obligations under the Indenture and discharge of the Indenture if such failure continues for 30 days or (y) the assertion by the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, in any pleading in any court of competent jurisdiction, that any such security interest is invalid or unenforceable; provided that it will not be an Event of Default if such condition results from the action or inaction of the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent.

A Default under clauses (vi) and (vii) is not an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding notify the Issuer of the Default and the Issuer does not cure such Default within the time specified after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.”

Section 6.02 Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than those of the type described in Section 6.01(ix) or (x) with respect to the Issuer) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, or at the direction of the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, the Trustee may, declare to be immediately due and payable the principal amount of all the Notes then outstanding, together with all accrued and unpaid interest to the date of acceleration, by notice in writing to the Issuer specifying the respective Event of Default and that such notice is a notice of acceleration (the “Acceleration Notice”), and the same shall become immediately due and payable.

In case of an Event of Default under either clause (ix) or (x) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Issuer, such amount with respect to all the Notes shall be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes. Holders may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes except as provided in this Indenture.

At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (by notice to the Trustee) may rescind and annul that declaration and its consequences if:

(a) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction;

(b) all existing Defaults and Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal of, premium or interest on the Notes that has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived;

(c) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest (at the same rate specified in the Notes) on overdue installments of interest and overdue payments of principal which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration has been paid;

(d) the Issuer has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its reasonable expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel to the Trustee), disbursements and advances; and

(e) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 6.01(ix) or (x), the Trustee has received an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

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

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may waive by consent (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) any then existing or potential Default, and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Notes. When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any consequent right.

Section 6.05 Control by Majority. Subject to Section 7.01, Section 7.02(f) (including the Trustee’s receipt of the security or indemnification described therein) and Section 7.06, in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes.

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits. No Holder will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy hereunder, unless:

(a) such Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default,

(b) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding have made a written request and offered reasonable indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as trustee, and

(c) the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days.

provided, however, that the limitations in this Section 6.06 shall not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of a Note for enforcement of payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note as set forth in Section 6.07.

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

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 6.06), the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01 (i) or (ii) 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, if any, then due and owing (together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest) and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,

disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its Property and shall be entitled and empowered to participate as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other Property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that any such compensation, expenses and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, moneys, securities and any other Properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10 Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First: to the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, their agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.06 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

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

Third: to the Issuer or, to the extent the Trustee collects any money from any Subsidiary Guarantor, to such Subsidiary Guarantor or to such other party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

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

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

ARTICLE 7

Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee(a) . (a) In case an Event of Default which the Trustee has, or is deemed to have, notice hereunder shall have occurred and be 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.

The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any such document.

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

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

(g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default or Event of Default is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee from the Issuer or the Holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, and such notice references the specific Default or Event of Default, the Notes and this Indenture and, in the absence of any such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume that no such Default or Event of Default exists.

Such immunities and protections and right to indemnification, together with the Trustee’s right to compensation, shall survive the Trustee’s resignation or removal, the defeasance or discharge of this Indenture and final payment of the Notes.

(l) The right of the Trustee to take the actions permitted by this Indenture shall not be construed as an obligation or duty to do so.

(m) The Trustee may request that the Issuer delivers an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

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 Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission (if the Notes are registered with the Commission) for permission to continue as Trustee 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 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.

Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs unless such Default or Event of Default

has since been cured. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders.

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

The Issuer shall indemnify the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee against any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, fines, liabilities or expenses, including incidental and out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees (“losses”) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer (including this Section 7.06) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder, unless the Issuer has been prejudiced by such failure to notify. The Issuer shall defend the claim, and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Issuer need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7.06 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the resignation or removal of the Trustee and payment in full of the Notes.

To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations 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 that held in trust to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

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

Section 7.07 Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b) to the extent applicable.

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 upon 30 days prior notice to the Issuer and shall 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 or TIA Section 310;

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

(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 Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction at the expense of the Issuer in the case of the Trustee 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, 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 mail a notice of its succession to Holders. Subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.06 hereof, the retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.08 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. Subject to Section 7.09, if the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or banking association, the successor corporation or banking association without any further act shall, if such successor corporation or banking association is otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee.

Section 7.09 Eligibility; Disqualification. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a Person 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 a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 (or a wholly-owned subsidiary of a bank or trust company, or of a bank holding company, the principal subsidiary of which is a bank or trust company having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000) as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 310(b).

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 be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth 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, the Issuer shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (“Legal Defeasance”) and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from all of its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee and all Liens securing the Notes shall be released. For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Debt 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), (b), (c) and (d) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under the Notes, this Indenture and the Security Documents (and the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, on written demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.01 and Section 4.02 hereof, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Issuer’s obligations in connection therewith and (d) this Article 8. If the Issuer exercises under Section 8.01 hereof the option applicable to this Section 8.02, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.

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 shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in (a) Section 4.09 through Section 4.18 hereof, (b) Section 5.01(a)(iii) and (iv) and Section 5.01(c) hereof, (c) Article 12 hereof and (d) clauses (iv), (v), (vi) (to the extent it relates to covenants that have become inapplicable as a result of this Section 8.03), (vii), (viii), (ix) (solely with respect to Significant Subsidiaries or a group of Significant Subsidiaries), (x) (solely with respect to Significant Subsidiaries or a group of Significant Subsidiaries) or (xii) of

Section 6.01 hereof, in each case with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from all of its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee in connection with such outstanding Notes and all Liens securing the Notes shall be released, and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Issuer 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 shall be unaffected thereby. If the Issuer exercises under Section 8.01 hereof the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in clauses (iv), (v), (vi) (to the extent it relates to covenants that have become inapplicable as a result of this Section 8.03), (vii), (viii), (ix) (solely with respect to Significant Subsidiaries or a group of Significant Subsidiaries), (x) (solely with respect to Significant Subsidiaries or a group of Significant Subsidiaries) or (xi) (solely with respect to Significant Subsidiaries or a group of Significant Subsidiaries) of Section 6.01, or because of the Issuer’s failure to comply with clauses (a)(iii) and (iv) and clause (b) of Section 5.01.

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. To exercise Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

(a) the Issuer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, irrevocably in trust with the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders, money or U.S. Government Obligations, or any combination thereof, in such amount, and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations, as will be sufficient, as stated in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

(b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit and after giving effect thereto;

(d) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that:

(1) the Issuer has received from the Internal Revenue Service a private letter ruling; or

(2) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in any applicable U.S. federal income tax law,

to the effect, in either case, that, and based thereon, such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, 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 (including withholding 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;

(e) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that 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 (including withholding 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; and

(f) the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as applicable, have been complied with as required by this Indenture.

Section 8.05 Deposited Cash and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all cash and U.S. Government Obligations (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 acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, but such cash and securities need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or U.S. Government Obligations 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.

Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any cash or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, based on an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee (which may be the certification 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. Any cash or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two

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

Section 8.07 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any cash or U.S. Government Obligations 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 Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary 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 cash and securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on, any Note following the reinstatement of their obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive such payment from the cash and securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

(b) Without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not:

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

(ii) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest, if any, on any Note;

(iii) reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Note;

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

ARTICLE 11

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

Section 11.01 Subsidiary Guarantee. Subject to this Article 11, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, 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 will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

105

The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes 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 Subsidiary Guarantor. Subject to Section 6.06, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

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

Each Subsidiary 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 Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of such Subsidiary 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 Subsidiary Guarantors for the purpose of such Subsidiary 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 Subsidiary Guarantee.

Section 11.02 Limitation on Subsidiary Guarantor Liability. Each Subsidiary Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Subsidiary Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor will not exceed, and will be considered limited to, the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article 11, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

106

Section 11.03 Execution and Delivery of Subsidiary Guarantee. To evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01, on the Settlement Date, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture will be executed on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor by an Officer of such Subsidiary Guarantor.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee on any Note.

If an officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Subsidiary Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

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

In the event that any Subsidiary is required by Section 4.16 hereof to become a Subsidiary Guarantor after the Settlement Date, the Issuer shall cause such Subsidiary to execute a supplemental indenture to this Indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit E in accordance with this Article 11.

Section 11.04 Releases. The Subsidiary Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released under the circumstances set forth in Section 4.16(b) hereof.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture or the Security Documents, the duties of the Notes Collateral Agent shall be administrative in nature, and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the Security Documents to which the Notes Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Notes Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder, the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or

107

liabilities shall be read into this Indenture or the Security Documents or otherwise exist against the Notes Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Notes Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees thereof when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an interest payment date, at maturity, by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise, interest on the overdue principal of and interest (to the extent permitted by law), if any, on the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees thereof and performance of all other obligations under this Indenture, including, without limitation, the obligations of the Issuer set forth in Section 7.07 and Section 8.05 herein, and the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees thereof shall be secured by (i) first-priority Liens and security interests on the Notes Priority Collateral and (ii) second-priority Liens and security interests on the ABL Priority Collateral (in each case subject to Permitted Liens and Liens not securing Debt), as and to the extent provided in the Security Documents, which the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors, as the case may be, will enter into on the Settlement Date, including the Pledge and Security Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, and will be secured pursuant to the Security Documents hereafter delivered as required or permitted by this Indenture and the Security Documents. The Collateral will also secure the Issuer’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ Obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement, Pari Passu Notes Lien Indebtedness and Pari Passu ABL Lien Indebtedness as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement and any Junior Lien Indebtedness as provided under any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement. The Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree that the Notes Collateral Agent shall hold the Collateral on behalf of and for the benefit of all of the Holders, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, in each case pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents, and the Notes Collateral Agent and the Trustee are hereby directed and authorized by the Holders to execute and deliver the Pledge and Security Agreement, including the exhibits thereto, the Intercreditor Agreement, including any amendment thereto contemplated by Section 7.4 thereof, and the other Security Documents.

(b) Each Holder, by its acceptance of any Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees thereof, irrevocably consents and agrees to the terms of the Security Documents (including, without limitation, the provisions providing for foreclosure and release of Collateral) as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms, agrees to the appointment of the Notes Collateral Agent and authorizes and directs the Notes Collateral Agent (i) to enter into the Security Documents (including, without limitation, the Intercreditor Agreement), whether executed on or after the Settlement Date, and perform its obligations and exercise its rights, powers and discretions under the Security Documents in accordance therewith, (ii) make the representations of the Holders set forth in the Security Documents (including, without limitation, the Intercreditor Agreement), and (iii) bind the Holders on the terms as set forth in the Security Documents (including, without limitation, the Intercreditor Agreement).

(c) The Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent and each Holder, by accepting the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees thereof acknowledges that, as more fully set forth in the Security Documents, the Collateral as now or hereafter constituted shall be held for the benefit of all the Holders, the Notes Collateral Agent and the Trustee, and that the Lien of this Indenture and the

108

Security Documents in respect of the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent and the Holders is subject to and qualified and limited in all respects by the Security Documents and actions that may be taken thereunder.

Section 12.02 Further Assurances; After-Acquired Property. To the extent required under another provision of this Indenture or under any of the Security Documents:

(a) the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall, at their sole expense, (i) execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments and (ii) take all further actions that may be required under applicable law, or that the Notes Collateral Agent 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 Security Documents in the Collateral,

(b) from time to time, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors will reasonably promptly secure the obligations under this Indenture and Security Documents by pledging or creating, or causing to be pledged or created, perfected security interests and Liens with respect to the Collateral and

(c) upon the acquisition by any of the Issuer or the Subsidiary Guarantors after the Settlement Date of any assets of a type that would constitute Collateral (other than Excluded Property), the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor shall execute and deliver any information, documentation and financing statements or other certificates as may be necessary to vest in the Notes Collateral Agent a perfected security interest, with the priority required by this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, in such after-acquired property and to have such after-acquired property added to the Collateral, and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such after-acquired property to the same extent and with the same force and effect.

Section 12.03 Release of Liens on the Collateral.

(a) The Liens on the Collateral securing the Notes will automatically and without the need for any further action by any Person be released:

(1) in whole, upon payment in full of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any, on the Notes;

(2) in whole upon:

(A) a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance as set forth in Article 8 hereof; or

(B) the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as set forth in Section 10.01 hereof;

(3) in part, as to any property constituting Collateral that (a) is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor (other than to the Issuer

109

or another Subsidiary Guarantor) in a transaction not prohibited by this Indenture or the Security Documents at the time of such sale, transfer or disposition (b) is owned or at any time acquired by a Subsidiary Guarantor that has been released from its Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture, concurrently with the release of such Guarantee (including in connection with the designation of a Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary) or (c) ceases to constitute Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents;

(4) in whole or in part, as applicable, in accordance with the provisions in Article 9;

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

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

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

(b) To the extent a proposed release of Collateral is not automatic and requires action by the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, the Issuer and each Subsidiary Guarantor will furnish to the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, prior to each proposed release of such Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents and this Indenture, an Officer’s Certificate that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture and the Security Documents relating to such release have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, it is agreed and understood that no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with any such release, except as specifically set forth in this Indenture where such Opinion of Counsel is required as a result of any other action taken in connection with such release.

(c) Upon compliance by the Issuer or the Subsidiary Guarantors, as the case may be, with the conditions precedent set forth above, the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent shall promptly cause to be released and reconveyed (at the expense of the Issuer or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantors) to the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, the released Collateral and execute and deliver or file such termination or partial release statements and take such other actions as are reasonably necessary to effect the foregoing.

Section 12.04 Authorization of Actions to be Taken by the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent Under the Security Documents.

(a) Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, each of the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to),

110

in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders, on behalf of the Holders, take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to (1) enforce any of its rights or any of the rights of the Holders under the Security Documents and (2) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Collateral in respect of the obligations of the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder and thereunder. Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent shall have the power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of the Security Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interest and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral (including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the security interest hereunder or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders or the Trustee).

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

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

Section 12.05 Regarding the Notes Collateral Agent.

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

(b) Except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Pledge and Security Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to the

111

Trustee or any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Grantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Notes Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all of the Issuer’s or any Subsidiary Guarantor’s property constituting collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Security Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture or any Security Document other than pursuant to the instructions of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes or as otherwise provided in the Security Documents.

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

(d) The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be liable for (i) any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with this Indenture and the Security Documents or instrument referred to herein or therein, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, and (ii) interest on any money received by it except as the Notes Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Issuer (and money held in trust by the Notes Collateral Agent shall be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law).

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

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Notes Collateral Agent hereunder, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified prior to taking action, shall survive the satisfaction, discharge or termination of this Indenture or earlier termination, resignation or removal of the Trustee, in such capacity, to the extent the Security Documents remain in force thereafter.

112

(g) It is understood and agreed that the Notes Collateral Agent is hereby authorized and directed by the Trustee and the Holders to execute and deliver (i) any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and/or (ii) any other intercreditor agreement or arrangement (including any amendment contemplated by Section 7.4 of the Intercreditor Agreement) entered into in connection with the incurrence by the Issuer and/or any Subsidiary Guarantor of Pari Passu Notes Lien Debt that is consistent with market terms governing security arrangements for the sharing of liens or arrangements relating to the distribution of payments, as applicable, at the time the Intercreditor Agreement or other arrangement is proposed to be established; it being understood and agreed that a certificate from an Officer of the Issuer certifying that such intercreditor agreement or arrangement satisfies the foregoing standard shall be conclusive evidence of the same.

The Issuer shall pay interest semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided, however, that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be September 15, 2020. The Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time at the interest rate then in effect under the Indenture and this Note; it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest, if any, from time to time at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

2. Method of Payment. The Issuer shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the March 1 or September 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose or may be made by check mailed to the registered address of the Holders. Additionally, at the option of the Issuer, payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, may be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Holders that shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

A-3

4. Indenture. The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of July 6, 2020 (“Indenture”) among the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are obligations of the Issuer unlimited in aggregate principal amount.

5. Security. The Notes and the Guarantees will be secured by first-priority Liens and security interests on the Notes Priority Collateral and by second-priority Liens and security interests on the ABL Priority Collateral, in each case subject to Permitted Liens and Liens not prohibited by the Indenture, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture and the Security Documents. The Notes Collateral Agent will hold the Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders, in each case pursuant to the Security Documents. Each Holder by accepting this Note consents and agrees to the terms of the Security Documents as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and the Indenture and authorizes and directs the Notes Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith.
