Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Class A Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or such other office or agency designated by the Registrar with the form of transfer notice thereon duly completed and executed, and otherwise complying with the terms of this Agreement, including providing evidence of compliance with any restrictions on transfer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, the Registrar and the Company, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Class A Certificates, in authorized denominations of a like aggregate Fractional Undivided Interest.

All Class A Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or elsewhere to the contrary, neither the Registrar nor the Trustee shall have any duty or obligation with respect to any transfer, exchange or other disposition of an economic interest in a Class A Certificate (other than a transfer of a Class A Certificate itself) or any personal liability to any Person in connection with the same.

The Holder of this Certificate is entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of March 12, 2013, among the Company, the Trustee and the representatives of the Initial Purchasers named therein (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Subject to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, in the event that neither the consummation of the Exchange Offer nor the declaration by the Commission of a Shelf Registration Statement to be effective (a “Registration Event”) occurs on or prior to the 90th day after the Exchange Deadline (as defined below) (or, if the last day of such 90th day period is not a Business Day, the first Business Day thereafter) (the “Shelf Registration Deadline”), the interest rate per annum borne by the Certificates shall be increased by 0.50% per annum effective as of the first day after the Shelf Registration Deadline but only until the Exchange Offer is consummated or the Shelf Registration Statement is declared or otherwise becomes effective under Securities and Exchange Commission rules. In the event that the Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be available at any time in the manner prescribed and during the period specified by the Registration Rights Agreement for more than 45 days during any three-month period or 120 days within any one-year period, the interest rate per annum borne by the Certificates shall be increased by 0.50% from the 46th day or 121st day, as applicable, until such time as the Shelf Registration Statement again becomes available. The “Exchange Deadline” means the 270th day after the Plan Effective Date (or, if the last day of such 270-day period is not a Business Day, the first Business Day thereafter).2

A copy of the Agreement may be examined during normal business hours at the principal office of the Trustee, and at such other places, if any, designated by the Trustee, by any Certificateholder upon request.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof, and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement, at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Certificateholders holding Certificates evidencing Fractional Undivided Interests aggregating not less than a majority in interest in the Trust. Any such consent by the Certificateholder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Certificateholder and upon all future Certificateholders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Certificateholders of any of the Certificates.
