(b) For purposes of determining compliance at any time with Sections 4.06, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11 and 5.01 hereof, in the event that any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock, Preferred Stock, Lien, Restricted Payment, Permitted Investment, Disposition or Affiliate Transaction, as applicable, meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of transactions or items permitted pursuant to any clause of, or exception from, such Sections, the Company, in its sole discretion, from time to time, may classify or reclassify such transaction or item (or portion thereof) and will only be required to include the amount and type of such transaction (or portion thereof) in any one category; provided that Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement outstanding on the Issue Date shall at all times be classified as incurred under Section 4.09(b)(i). For purposes of determining the permissibility of any action, change, transaction or event that by the terms of this Indenture requires a calculation of any financial ratio or test (including the Consolidated Senior Secured First Lien Debt Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio or the Secured Net Leverage Ratio), such financial ratio or test shall, except as expressly permitted under this Indenture, be calculated at the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be, and no default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in such financial ratio or test occurring after the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be. It is understood and agreed that any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock, Preferred Stock, Lien, Restricted Payment, Disposition or Affiliate Transaction need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of permitted Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock, Preferred Stock, Liens, Restricted Payments, Permitted Investment, Dispositions or Affiliate Transactions, respectively, but may instead be

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) when calculating the availability under any basket, financial ratio or test (including any Consolidated Senior Secured First Lien Debt Ratio test, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test, any Total Net Leverage Ratio test or the amount of Consolidated Net Income or Adjusted EBITDA) in connection with the incurrence of Indebtedness, the issuance of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, the creation of Liens, the making of any Disposition, the making of an Investment, the making of a Restricted Payment or the designation of any Restricted Subsidiaries or Unrestricted Subsidiaries, (ii) determining compliance with any provision of this Indenture which requires that no default or Event of Default (or any type of default or Event of Default) has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom or (iii) determining the satisfaction of all other conditions precedent to the incurrence of Indebtedness, the issuance of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, the creation of Liens, the making of any Disposition, the making of an Investment, the making of a Restricted Payment or the designation of any Restricted Subsidiaries or Unrestricted Subsidiaries, in each case in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction and any actions or transactions related thereto, the date of determination of such ratio or other provisions, determination of whether any default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom, determination of compliance with any representations or warranties or the satisfaction of any other conditions shall, at the option of the Company (the Company’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election,” which LCT Election may be in respect of one or more of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii)) be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements or other relevant definitive documentation (or, if applicable, the date of delivery of a notice, declaration or making of a Restricted Payment or similar event) for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (the “LCT Test Date”). If on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, and the use of proceeds thereof), with such ratios, tests, baskets and other provisions calculated as if such Limited Condition Transaction or other transactions had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Measurement Period ending prior to the LCT Test Date for which financial statements have been (or are required to be) delivered pursuant to Section 4.03 hereof, the Company could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with the applicable ratios, tests, baskets or other provisions, such provisions shall be deemed to have been complied with, unless an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(i) or (ii) or, solely with respect to the Company, Section 6.01(a)(v), shall be continuing on the date such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated; provided that if financial statements for one or more subsequent fiscal quarters shall have become available, the Company may elect, in its sole discretion, to re-determine all such ratios, tests, baskets or other provisions on the basis of such financial statements, in which case, such date of redetermination shall thereafter be deemed to be the applicable LCT Test Date for purposes of such ratios, tests, baskets or such other provisions. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if, following the LCT Test Date, any of such ratios, tests, baskets or other provisions are exceeded or breached as a result of fluctuations in such ratio, test or basket (including due to fluctuations in Adjusted EBITDA or other components of such ratio, test or basket) or other provisions at or prior to the consummation

of the relevant Limited Condition Transactions, such ratios, tests, baskets and other provisions will not be deemed to have been exceeded or failed to have been satisfied as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder; provided that if such ratios, tests or baskets improve as a result of such fluctuations, such improved ratios, tests and/or baskets may be utilized, and (ii) such ratios and compliance with such conditions shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction or related Specified Transactions, unless, other than if an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(i) or (ii) or, solely with respect to the Company, Section 6.01(a)(v), shall be continuing on such date, the Company elects, in its sole discretion, to test such ratios and compliance with such conditions on the date such Limited Condition Transaction or related Specified Transactions is consummated. If the Company has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio, test, basket availability or compliance with any other provision hereunder on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earliest of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated, the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction or the date the Company makes an election pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, any such ratio, test, basket or compliance with any other provision hereunder shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock, and the use of proceeds thereof) had been consummated on the LCT Test Date; provided that, for purposes of any Restricted Payment or payment of Restricted Indebtedness, such ratio, test, basket or compliance with any other provision hereunder shall also be tested as if such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock, and the use of proceeds thereof) had not been consummated.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Indenture that does not require compliance with a financial ratio (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) under any negative covenant set forth under Article 4 or the determination of the Incremental Amount substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision under such negative covenant or the determination of the Incremental Amount that requires compliance with a financial ratio (including any Consolidated Senior Secured First Lien Debt Ratio test, any Secured Net Leverage Ratio test and any Total Net Leverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that such Fixed Amounts shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to any substantially concurrent utilization of such Incurrence-Based Amounts.

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

ARTICLE 2

THE NOTES

Section 2.01. Amount of Notes.

The aggregate principal amount of Initial Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture on the Issue Date is $500,000,000.

After the Issue Date, the Issuers may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders or beneficial owners of the Notes, but subject to compliance with the covenants described herein, create and issue Additional Notes of the same series as the Notes issued under this Indenture, having the same terms (except for the Issue Date and, in some case, the initial issue price and the first interest payment date) and being equal with the Notes in all respects (or in all respects other than the payment of interest accruing prior to the Issue Date of such Additional Notes except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such Additional Notes); provided that if such Additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes offered hereunder for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then such Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number. Such Additional Notes will be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes issued under this Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, consents, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase.

With respect to any Additional Notes issued after the Issue Date, there shall be (a) established in or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of each Issuer and (b) (i) set forth or determined in the manner provided in an Officer’s Certificate or (ii) established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, prior to the issuance of such Additional Notes:

(1)

the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture;

(2)

the issue price and issue date of such Additional Notes, including the date from which interest on such Additional Notes shall accrue; and

(3)

if applicable, that such Additional Notes shall be issuable in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Notes and, in such case, the respective depositaries for such Global Notes, the form of any legend or legends which shall be borne by such Global Notes in addition to or in lieu of those set forth in Exhibit A hereto and any circumstances in addition to or in lieu of those set forth in Section 2.07 in which any such Global Note may be exchanged in whole or in part for Additional Notes registered, or any transfer of such Global Note in whole or in part may be registered, in the name or names of Persons other than the depositary for such Global Note or a nominee thereof.

If any of the terms of any Additional Notes are established by action taken pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of each Issuer and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officer’s Certificate or an indenture supplemental hereto setting forth the terms of the Additional Notes.

Section 2.02. Form and Dating. (a) General. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in minimum denominations of $2,000 (the “Minimum Denomination”) and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Issuers, the Guarantors 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) Global Notes. (i) Except as provided in Section 2.07(d) below, Rule 144A Notes initially shall be represented by one or more Notes in definitive, fully registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the “Rule 144A Global Notes”).

Regulation S Notes initially shall be represented by one or more Notes in fully registered, global form without interest coupons (collectively, the “Regulation S Temporary Global Note” and, together with the Regulation S Permanent Global Note (defined below), the “Regulation S Global Notes”), which shall be registered in the name of DTC or Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.

Following the termination of the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note shall be exchanged for beneficial interests in a permanent Global Note (the “Regulation S Permanent Global Note”) pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. Simultaneously with the authentication of the Regulation S Permanent Global Note, the Trustee shall cancel the Regulation S Temporary Global Note. The aggregate principal amount of the Regulation S Temporary Global Note and the Regulation S Permanent Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, in connection with transfers of interest as hereinafter provided.

The term “Global Notes” means the Rule 144A Global Notes and the Regulation S Global Notes. The Global Notes shall bear the Global Note Legend. The Global Notes initially shall (i) be registered in the name of DTC or the nominee of DTC, in each case for credit to an account of an Agent Member, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for DTC and (iii) shall bear the Restricted Notes Legend.

Members of, or direct or indirect participants in, DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the applicable Depositary or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Notes. The applicable Depositary may be treated by the Issuers, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuers or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Notes for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuers, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuers or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the applicable Depositary, or impair, as between the applicable Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Holder of any Note.

(ii) Transfers of Global Notes shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or its nominee. Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Notes may be transferred or exchanged for Definitive Notes only in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and the provisions of Section 2.07. In addition, a Global Note shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes if (x) the Depositary (a) notifies the Issuers that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Note or (b) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and in each case a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days, or (y) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes; provided that in no event shall the Regulation S Temporary Global Note be exchanged by the Issuers for Definitive Notes prior to (x) the expiration of the Restricted Period and (y) the receipt by the Registrar of any certificates required pursuant to Rule 903(b)(3)(ii)(B) under the Securities Act. In all cases, Definitive Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests therein shall be registered in the names, and issued in any approved denominations, requested by or on behalf of the applicable Depositary in accordance with its Applicable Procedures.

(iii) In connection with the transfer of a Global Note as an entirety to beneficial owners pursuant to subsection (ii) of this Section 2.02(b), such Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and each Issuer shall execute, and, upon written order of each such Issuer signed by its Officer, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, to each beneficial owner identified by the applicable Depositary in writing in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations.

(iv) Any Transfer Restricted Global Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.07 shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.07, bear the Restricted Notes Legend.

(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, through the Restricted Period, a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream unless delivery is made in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2.07.

(vi) The Holder of any Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

(c) Applicable Depositary. The Issuers have initially appointed DTC to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

(d) None of the Trustee or any Agent shall have any responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Note, a member of, or a Participant or Indirect Participant in, a Depositary or other Person, with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any Participant, Indirect Participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Global Notes or with respect to the delivery to any Participant, Indirect Participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than a Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other security or property) under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the applicable Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the applicable Depositary subject to the Applicable Procedures. The Trustee and each Agent may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by a Depositary with respect to its members, Participants, Indirect Participants and any beneficial owners.

Section 2.03. Execution and Authentication. At least one Officer must sign each of the Notes for each Issuer by manual or facsimile signature, which may be delivered by .pdf attachment to an email or by other electronic means.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time such Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be valid.

A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual, electronic or facsimile signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

The Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuers signed by an Officer of each Issuer (“Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture, including any Additional Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Issuers pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.08 hereof.

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

Section 2.04. Agents. The Issuers will 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 will keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuers 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 agents. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuers will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuers fail to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

The Issuers 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 Issuers 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 Issuers 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 7.07.

The Issuers initially appoint the Trustee to act as the Registrar for the Notes and Paying Agent with respect to the Global Notes representing the Notes.

Section 2.05. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The Issuers will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that such Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of relevant Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium or interest, if any, on the Notes, and will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuers in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuers 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 such Paying Agent. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to any Issuer, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.06. 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 Issuers will furnish or cause the Registrar to furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes.

Section 2.07. Transfer and Exchange. The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer and in compliance with the terms herein. When a Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if its requirements (including, among other things, the furnishing of appropriate endorsements and transfer documents) therefor are met. When Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.03, authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. The Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section 2.07. The Issuers shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of Notes to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or of any Notes for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed.

Any Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such beneficial interest, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent) or (b) any Holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book-entry.

All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

None of the Trustee, Registrar or Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the applicable Depositary.

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except as set forth in Section 2.02(b). Global Notes will not be exchanged by the Issuers for Definitive Notes except under the circumstances described in Section 2.02(b)(ii). Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Section 2.08 of this Indenture. Beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.07(b).

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

(i) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. Beneficial interests in any Transfer Restricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Transfer Restricted Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Restricted Notes Legend; provided, however, that prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, transfers of beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Note may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person. A beneficial interest in an 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 2.07(b)(i).

(ii) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests in any Global Note that is not subject to Section 2.07(b)(i), the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar (1) a written order from an Agent Member given to the applicable 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 Agent Member 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 pursuant to Section 2.07(g).

(iii) Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in a Transfer Restricted Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Transfer Restricted Global Note if the transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.07(b)(ii) above and the Registrar receives the following:

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

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

(iv) A beneficial interest in a Transfer 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 2.07(b)(ii) above and the Registrar receives the following:

(A) if the Holder of such beneficial interest in a Transfer 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; or

and, in each such case, if the Issuers or the Registrar so request or if the Applicable Procedures so require, an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Issuers and 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 Restricted Notes Legend are no longer required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act. If any such transfer or exchange is effected pursuant to this subparagraph (iv) at a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the Issuers shall issue and, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuers in the form of an Officer’s Certificate in accordance with Section 2.01, 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 or exchanged pursuant to this subparagraph (iv).

(v) 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 Transfer Restricted Global Note.

(c) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes for Definitive Notes. A beneficial interest in a Global Note may not be exchanged for a Definitive Note except under the circumstances described in Section 2.02(b)(ii). A beneficial interest in a Global Note may not be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note except under the circumstances described in Section 2.02(b)(ii). In any case, beneficial interests in Global Notes shall be transferred or exchanged only for Definitive Notes.

(d) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. Transfers and exchanges of Definitive Notes for beneficial interests in the Global Notes also shall require compliance with either subparagraph (i), (ii) or (iii) below, as applicable:

Upon satisfaction of the conditions of this subparagraph (ii), the Trustee shall cancel the Transfer Restricted Definitive Notes and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of the Unrestricted Global Note. If any such transfer or exchange is effected pursuant to this subparagraph (ii) at a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the Issuers shall issue and, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuers in the form of an Officer’s Certificate, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Transfer Restricted Notes transferred or exchanged pursuant to this subparagraph (ii).

Upon receipt of a request for such an exchange or transfer, the Trustee shall cancel the applicable Unrestricted Definitive Note and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of one of the Unrestricted Global Notes. If any such transfer or exchange is effected pursuant to this subparagraph (iii) at a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the Issuers shall issue and, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuers in the form of an Officer’s Certificate, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Unrestricted Definitive Notes transferred or exchanged pursuant to this subparagraph (iii).

(iii) Unrestricted Definitive Notes to Unrestricted Definitive Notes. A Holder of an Unrestricted Definitive Note may transfer such Unrestricted Definitive Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of an Unrestricted Definitive Note at any time. Upon receipt of a written request to register such a transfer, the Registrar shall register the Unrestricted Definitive Notes pursuant to the instructions from the Holder thereof.

(iv) Unrestricted Definitive Notes to Transfer Restricted Definitive Notes. An Unrestricted Definitive Note cannot be exchanged for, or transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of, a Transfer Restricted Definitive Note.

At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.12 of this Indenture. 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.

Except as permitted by the following paragraph (ii), (iii) or (iv), each Note certificate evidencing the Global Notes and any Definitive Notes (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof) shall bear the Restricted Notes Legend (each defined term in the legend being defined as such for purposes of the legend only):

“THE SECURITY (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) EVIDENCED HEREBY WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SECTION 5 OF THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND THE SECURITY EVIDENCED HEREBY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

THE HOLDER OF THE SECURITY EVIDENCED XXXXXX AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ISSUERS THAT:

(A) SUCH SECURITY MAY BE OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ONLY:

PROHIBITED TRANSACTION UNDER SECTION 406 OF ERISA OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE OR A VIOLATION UNDER ANY APPLICABLE SIMILAR LAW. BY ITS ACQUISITION OR HOLDING OF THIS SECURITY, EACH PURCHASER AND TRANSFEREE WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE REPRESENTED AND WARRANTED THAT THE FOREGOING REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN SATISFIED.

IN ADDITION, WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, BY ACQUIRING THIS SECURITY (OR ANY INTEREST HEREIN), EACH PURCHASER AND TRANSFEREE THAT IS A PLAN, INCLUDING THE PLAN’S FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBLE AT ANY TIME FOR THE PLAN’S INVESTMENT IN THIS SECURITY, WILL BE DEEMED TO REPRESENT AND WARRANT, AND ACKNOWLEDGE, AS APPLICABLE, AS LONG AS IT HOLDS SUCH INVESTMENT THAT: NONE OF THE ISSUERS, THE INITIAL PURCHASERS, THE TRUSTEE OR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES OR AGENTS IS OR WILL BE A FIDUCIARY WITH RESPECT TO THE ACQUISITION, HOLDING OR DISPOSITION OF THIS SECURITY BY THE PLAN.”

In addition, each Definitive Note shall bear the following additional Legend:

“IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER, THE HOLDER WILL DELIVER TO THE REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT SUCH CERTIFICATES AND OTHER INFORMATION AS SUCH TRANSFER AGENT MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT THE TRANSFER COMPLIES WITH THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.”

(ii) Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Definitive Note, the Registrar shall permit the Holder thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted Note for a Definitive Note that does not bear the legends set forth above and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Definitive Note if the Holder certifies in writing to the Registrar that its request for such exchange was made in reliance on Rule 144 (such certification to be in the form set forth on the reverse of the Initial Note).

(iii) Upon a sale or transfer after the expiration of the Restricted Period of any Initial Note acquired pursuant to Regulation S, all requirements that such Initial Note bear the Restricted Notes Legend shall cease to apply and the requirements requiring any such Initial Note be issued in global form shall continue to apply.

(iv) Any Additional Notes sold in a registered offering shall not be required to bear the Restricted Notes Legend.

(v) Global Note Legend. Each Global Note will bear a legend in substantially the following form (each defined term in the legend being defined as such for purposes of the legend only):

“THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (1) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.07 OF THE INDENTURE, (2) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.07(a) OF THE INDENTURE, (3) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE DELIVERED TO THE TRUSTEE FOR CANCELLATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.12 OF THE INDENTURE AND (4) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE ISSUERS. UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR NOTES IN DEFINITIVE FORM, THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY.

UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITARY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION (“DTC”), NEW YORK, NEW YORK, TO THE ISSUERS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AGENTS FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO., OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO DTC, TO NOMINEES OF DTC OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR’S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THIS GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO ON THE REVERSE HEREOF.”

(g) Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Note. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.12 of this Indenture. 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, as applicable, 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, as applicable, to reflect such increase.

(h) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Notes.

(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate, Definitive Notes and Global Notes at the Registrar’s request.

(ii) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessments, or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes, assessments or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to this Indenture).

(iii) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuers, the Trustee, a Paying Agent or the Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Issuers, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected or incur any liability by notice to the contrary.

(iv) All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

(i) No Obligation of the Trustee.

(i) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in the applicable Depositary or any other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the applicable Depositary or any nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or repurchase) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to the Holders under the Notes shall be given or made only to the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or any nominee thereof in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only

through the Depositary, subject to the Applicable Procedures. The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to any members, participants and any beneficial owners thereof.

(ii) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among participants, members or beneficial owners of the applicable Depositary in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

Section 2.08. Replacement Notes. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Issuers and the Trustee and the Issuers receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuers will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. An indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuers to protect the Issuers, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any losses, claims, expenses and liabilities that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuers may charge for their expenses in replacing a Note.

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

Section 2.09. Outstanding Notes. The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except (i) Notes theretofore cancelled by the Trustee or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; (ii) Notes for the payment or redemption of which money in the necessary amount has been theretofore deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than an Issuer) in trust or set aside, segregated and held in trust by the Issuers (if any Issuer shall act as its own Paying Agent) for the Holders of such Notes; provided that, if such Notes are to be redeemed prior to the maturity thereof, written notice of such redemption has been duly given pursuant to this Indenture, or provision satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made for giving such notice; and (iii) Notes in substitution for which other Notes shall have been authenticated and delivered, or which shall have been paid, pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (except with respect to any such Note as to which proof satisfactory to the Trustee is presented that such Note is held by a Person in whose hands such Note is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuers). Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because any Issuer or an Affiliate of such Issuer holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 9.02 hereof.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Registrar receive proof satisfactory to each of them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser.

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

If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay all principal, premium and accrued interest, if any, with respect to the outstanding Notes payable on that date and the Paying Agent is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.10. Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, request, waiver or consent in the exercise of any power or authority (whether contained in this Indenture or vested by operation of law) which the Trustee is required expressly to exercise in or by reference to the interests of the Holders or any of them, Notes owned by any Issuer or any Guarantor, or by an Affiliate of any Issuer or any Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned will be so disregarded.

Section 2.11. Temporary Notes. Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuers may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuers consider appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuers will prepare and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

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

Section 2.12. Cancellation. The Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and each Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will dispose of such canceled Notes in accordance with its then customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Evidence of the disposal of all canceled Notes will be delivered to the Issuers upon the Issuers’ written request. The Issuers may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that they have redeemed, purchased or paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.13. Defaulted Interest. If the Issuers default in a payment of interest on the Notes, they will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders of the Notes on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Issuers will notify the Trustee (and the Collateral Agent) in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Issuers will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuers (or, upon the written request of the Issuers delivered at least five days (or such shorter period as the Trustee may agree) before such notice is requested to be sent to Holders, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuers) will give or cause to be given to Holders in accordance with Section 13.01 a notice prepared by the Issuers that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. The Trustee shall have no duty to determine whether defaulted interest is payable or the amount of such defaulted interest.

Section 2.14. CUSIP Numbers. The Issuers in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use any such “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided 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 Issuers will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

Section 3.01. Notices to Trustee. If the Issuers elect to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, they must furnish to the Trustee and the Paying Agent, at least five days prior to the date notice of redemption is to be delivered to the Holders of the Notes in accordance with Section 3.03 (unless a shorter time is acceptable 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;

(iv) the redemption price and the amount of accrued interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date;

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

(vi) the CUSIP numbers.

Section 3.02. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Registrar will select Notes for redemption as follows:

(i) if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed; or

(ii) if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis or by lot or by a method the Registrar deems fair and appropriate, in each case, subject to the Applicable Procedures.

In the event of partial redemption or repurchase by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or repurchased will be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Registrar from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or otherwise in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuers in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or repurchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. No Notes in principal amounts equal to or less than the Minimum Denomination can be redeemed in part.

Section 3.03. Notice of Optional Redemption. (a) With respect to any redemption of Notes pursuant to Section 3.07, notices of optional redemption will be given at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed in accordance with Section 13.01, except that notices of redemption may be given 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.

(b) If any Note is to be optionally redeemed, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will state:

(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;

(iv) the redemption price and the amount of accrued interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date;

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

(vi) the CUSIP numbers.

(c) At the Issuers’ written request delivered at least 35 days prior to the redemption date unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period in writing, the Trustee shall give the notice of optional redemption in the Issuers’ name and at their expense; in such event, the Issuers shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section 3.03

(d) If any optional redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the notice shall state that, in the Issuers’ discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Issuers in their sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived) by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed and such redemption provisions may be adjusted to comply with the Applicable Procedures.

Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is given in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption become, subject to Section 3.03(d), irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price and interest will cease to accrue on such Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date unless the Issuers default in the payment of the redemption price or accrued interest, if any.

Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. At or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the Issuers will deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent, money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed on the redemption date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Issuers any money deposited with the Trustee or such Paying Agent by the Issuers in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed following the redemption date.

If the Issuers comply with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, then, on and after the redemption date, subject to Section 3.03(d), interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest 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 record date. If any Note called for redemption is not so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Issuers to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the applicable 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 Issuers will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuers a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered.

Section 3.07. Optional Redemption. Except pursuant to Section 3.07(a), (b) or (c) herein, the Notes will not be optionally redeemable by the Issuers; provided, however, the Issuers may acquire the Notes by means other than an optional redemption.

(a) At any time and from time to time prior to January 15, 2025, the Issuers may redeem some or all of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus the Applicable Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

(b) At any time on or after January 15, 2025, the Issuers may redeem some or all of the Notes at the redemption prices (expressed in percentage of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on January 15 of each of the years indicated below:

(c) In addition, at any time prior to January 15, 2025, the Issuers may redeem up to 40% of the original principal amount of the outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) of 104.750%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date; provided that (i) at least 55% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued on the date of this Indenture remains outstanding after each such redemption, and (ii) notice of any such redemption is delivered to the Trustee within 90 days of the closing of each such Equity Offering.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.07 to the contrary, installments of interest on the Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date according to the Notes and this Indenture.

(d) In the event that Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes accept a Change of Control Offer and the Issuers (or any third party making such Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuers as described in Section 4.07) purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuers or such third party shall have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 60 days following the Change of Control Payment Date relating to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all of the Notes that remain outstanding following such Change of Control Payment Date at a redemption price equal to the Change of Control Payment, plus to the extent not included in the Change of Control Payment, accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes that remain outstanding, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. In determining whether the holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes accept a Change of Control Offer, Notes owned by an Affiliate of the Issuers shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purposes of such Change of Control Offer.

Section 3.08. Mandatory Redemption. The Issuers are not required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. However, under certain circumstances, the Issuers may be required to offer to repurchase Notes as described under Section 4.07. The Issuers may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in the open market, pursuant to negotiated transactions or otherwise, which may include a consent solicitation.

(ii) within 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company not corresponding with the fiscal year end, its unaudited consolidated balance sheet and related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows as of the end of and for such fiscal quarter and the then elapsed portion of the fiscal year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the corresponding period or periods of (or, in the case of the balance sheet, as of the end of) the previous fiscal year, all certified by its chief financial officer as presenting fairly in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, subject to normal year end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes, and accompanied by a statement by the directors of the Company commenting on the performance of the Company and its subsidiaries for the quarter to which the financial statements relate and any material developments or proposals affecting the Company or business.

(b) The requirement for the Company to provide information may be satisfied by filing of such reports, documents and information via the Commission’s XXXXX system (or any successor electronic filing system) or posting such reports, documents and information on its website, in each case within the time periods specified herein, it being understood that the Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever to determine if such filings have been made, and that 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 Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee may rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). To the extent any information is not provided within the time periods specified in clause (a) herein and such information is subsequently provided, the Company will be deemed to have satisfied its obligations with respect thereto at such time and any default or Event of Default with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been cured.

(c) At any time when the Notes are “restricted securities” under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Company will furnish to the Holders of the Notes and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

Section 4.04. Compliance Certificate. (a) The Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company (commencing with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022), an Officer’s Certificate certifying that in the course of the performance by the signer of his or her duties as an Officer of an Issuer they would normally have knowledge of any Default and whether or not the signer knows of any Default that occurred during such period. If he or she does, the certificate shall describe the Default, its status and what action the Issuers are taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

(b) So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company will deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and the remedial action the Company proposes to take in connection therewith.

Section 4.05. [Reserved].

Section 4.06. Limitation on Liens. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Co-Issuer or any Guarantor, to enter into, create, incur or assume any Lien (except Permitted Liens) (the “Initial Lien”) on any property owned by any of them, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in order to secure any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness among the Issuers and the Guarantors), except, in the case of any property that does not constitute Collateral, for any Initial Lien securing any Indebtedness if the Notes are secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) the obligations so secured for so long as such obligations are so secured. Any Lien that is granted to secure the Notes pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged without any further action by any Person at the same time as the release and discharge of the Initial Lien that gave rise to the obligation to secure the Notes under this Section 4.06.

(b) For purposes of this Section 4.06, (i) a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of permitted Liens (or any portion thereof) described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof and (ii) in the event that a Lien meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Permitted Liens, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall classify, and may reclassify, such Lien and only be required to include the amount and type of such Lien as a Permitted Lien, and a Lien may be divided and classified and reclassified into more than one of such types of Liens. In addition, (A) for purposes of calculating compliance with Section 4.06(a), in no event will the amount of any

Indebtedness or Liens securing any Indebtedness be required to be included more than once despite the fact that more than one Person is or becomes liable with respect to such Indebtedness and despite the fact that such Indebtedness is secured by the property of more than one Person (for example, and for avoidance of doubt, in the case where there are Liens on the property of one or more of the Company and its Subsidiaries securing any Indebtedness, the amount of such Indebtedness secured shall only be included once for purposes of such calculations) and (B) the expansion of Liens by virtue of accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, amortization of original issue discount and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Liens for purposes of this Section 4.06.

Section 4.07. Offer to Repurchase upon Change of Control Triggering Event. (a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs with respect to the Notes, unless the Issuers at such time have given notice of redemption pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of Section 3.07(a) with respect to all outstanding Notes, the Issuers shall offer to repurchase all or any part (in a minimum principal amount equal to the Minimum Denomination and integral multiples of $1,000) of each Holder’s Notes pursuant to an offer to repurchase on the terms set forth in this Indenture (the “Change of Control Offer”). In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuers will offer a payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes being repurchased, to, but excluding, the Change of Control Payment Date (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to Notes, unless the Issuers at such time have given notice of redemption under the applicable provision of Section 3.07 referred to above with respect to all outstanding Notes, the Issuers will give prompt written notice to the Trustee and each Holder of Notes describing the transaction or transactions and ratings downgrade that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), which date will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is given, pursuant to the procedures required by this Indenture and described in such notice. The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder, if any, to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Triggering Event provisions of this Indenture, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.07 by virtue of such conflict.

(b) At or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuers shall, to the extent lawful, deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered.

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

(ii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted, together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased by the Issuers.

(d) The Paying Agent shall promptly deliver to each Holder properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, 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 minimum principal amount equal to the Minimum Denomination and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Issuers shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

(e) The Issuers shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (i) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuers and repurchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer or (ii) a valid notice of redemption for all of the Notes has been given, or will be given contemporaneously with the Change of Control Triggering Event, pursuant to Section 3.07 unless and until such notice has been validly revoked or there is a default in the payment of the applicable redemption price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event or conditional upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control Triggering Event at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

(f) Subject to Sections 6.04 and 9.02(b), the Issuers’ obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event pursuant to this Section 4.07 may be waived or modified with the written consent of Holders in a majority in principal amount of the Notes outstanding.

(f) If Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock originally incurred in reliance upon a percentage of Adjusted EBITDA under this Section 4.09 is being refinanced and such refinancing would cause the maximum amount of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock thereunder to be exceeded at such time, then such refinancing will nevertheless be permitted thereunder and such additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock will be deemed to have been incurred under the applicable provision so long as the principal amount or liquidation preference of such refinancing Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock does not exceed the principal amount or liquidation preference of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock being refinanced, plus additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock incurred to pay accrued but unpaid interest or dividends, premiums (including tender premiums), defeasance costs, underwriting or initial purchaser discounts, fees, costs and expenses (including original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees) in connection with such refinancing.

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

Section 4.10. Asset Sales.

(ii) except in the case of an Asset Swap, in the Company’s good faith determination, at least 75% of the consideration therefor, together with all other Asset Sales since the Issue Date (on a cumulative basis), received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of:

(A) any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s most recent consolidated balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto, or if incurred or accrued subsequent to the date of such balance sheet, such liabilities that would have been reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto if such incurrence or accrual had taken place on or prior to the date of such balance sheet, as determined in good faith by the Company) of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent obligations and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets (or are otherwise extinguished by the transferee in connection with the transactions relating to such Asset Sale) or are acquired and extinguished by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary and, in each case, for which the Company and all such Restricted Subsidiaries shall have no further obligation with respect thereto,

(B) any notes or other obligations or securities received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary or reasonably expected by the Company acting in good faith to be converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents, or by their terms are required to be satisfied for cash or Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received), in each case, within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale,

(C) any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Company), taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (C) that is at that time outstanding (but, to the extent that any such Designated Non-Cash Consideration is sold or otherwise liquidated for cash, minus the lesser of (I) the amount of the cash received (less the cost of disposition, if any) and (II) the initial amount of such Designated Non-Cash Consideration) not to exceed the greater of (x) $200,000,000 and (y) 12.5% of Adjusted EBITDA (as determined at the time any such Asset Sale is made (calculated on a Pro Forma Basis) as of the last day of the most recently ended Measurement Period on or prior to the date of determination, with the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of each item of Designated Non-Cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value, and

(D) any Capital Stock or assets described in clauses (b)(ii)(A) and (b)(ii)(B) below,

shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision and for no other purpose.

(b) Within 450 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply an amount equal to the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale (or, if the Company’s Secured Net Leverage Ratio is lower than or equal to 2.50:1.00 on a Pro Forma Basis, 50% of such Net Proceeds),

(i) to permanently reduce:

(A) Obligations under the Notes or any other Pari Passu Indebtedness (including obligations under the Credit Facilities and the Existing Secured Notes) of any Issuer or a Guarantor (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto, if applicable); provided that if such Net Proceeds are applied to other Pari Passu Indebtedness then the Issuers shall (I) equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Notes (x) as provided under Section 3.07 or (y) through open market purchases or (II) make an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer (as defined below)) to all Holders of Notes to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of Notes that would otherwise be redeemed under clause (i), or

(B) Indebtedness of a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary; or

(ii) to (A) make an Investment in any one or more businesses; provided that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Company or another of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business, such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (B) acquire properties (other than Capital Stock) or (C) make capital expenditures that, in the case of each of (A), (B) and (C) are either (x) used or useful in a Related Business or (y) replace, repair, improve or maintain assets to be used or useful in a Related Business (provided that such assets or Capital Stock shall become Collateral (unless such assets or Capital Stock are Excluded Assets or otherwise are not pledged to secure any other First-Priority Obligations) under the Security Documents and in accordance with this Indenture substantially simultaneously with such Investment or acquisition to the extent the assets disposed of constituted Collateral); or

(iii) any combination of the foregoing;

provided that, in the case of clause (ii) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Company or such other Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”); and provided, further, that if any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment (a “Second Commitment”) within 180 days of such cancellation or termination; provided, further, that if any Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds.

(c) Any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in Section 4.10(b) hereof will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall make an offer to all Holders of the Notes and, if required by the terms of any Pari Passu Indebtedness, to the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof and such Pari Passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (or, in respect of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for or permitted by the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness), to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture.

(d) The Issuers will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within fifteen Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed $50.0 million by electronically delivering or mailing the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a written copy to the Trustee. The Issuers may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any Excess Proceeds by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Excess Proceeds prior to the time period that may be required by this Indenture with respect to all or a part of the available Excess Proceeds (the “Advance Portion”) in advance of being required to do so by this Indenture (an “Advance Offer”).

(e) To the extent that the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds (or in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion), the Company and its Subsidiaries may use any remaining Excess Proceeds (or in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion) (the “Declined Amounts”) for any purpose, subject to clause (f) below and the other covenants contained in this Indenture. If the aggregate amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of Notes and the Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered in an Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds (or in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion), the Trustee shall select the Notes and the Issuers or the agent for such Pari Passu Indebtedness shall select such Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased (i) if the Notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, are listed, (ii) on a pro rata basis based on the amount (determined as set forth above) of the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered or (iii) by lot or such similar method in accordance with the Applicable Procedures; provided that no Notes of $2,000 or less shall be repurchased in part. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer (or Advance Offer), the amount of Excess Proceeds (or in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion) shall be reset at zero.

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

(g) Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds pursuant to this Section 4.10, the holder of such Net Proceeds may apply such Net Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise use such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

(h) The Issuers will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuers will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof.

(c) If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (i) purchases or otherwise acquires assets or properties from a Person which is not an Affiliate, the purchase or acquisition by an Affiliate of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of an interest in all or a portion of the assets or properties acquired shall not be deemed an Affiliate Transaction (or cause such purchase or acquisition by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to be deemed an Affiliate Transaction) or (ii) sells or otherwise disposes of assets or other properties to a Person who is not an Affiliate, the sale or other disposition by an Affiliate of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of an interest in all or a portion of the assets or properties sold shall not be deemed an Affiliate Transaction (or cause such sale or other disposition by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to be deemed an Affiliate Transaction).

Section 4.12. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(a) The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Co-Issuer) of the Company to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided that:

(i) any Guarantee by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof of any Indebtedness of the Subsidiary being so designated will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary (or both, if applicable) at the time of such designation, and such incurrence of Indebtedness would be permitted under Section 4.09;

(ii) the aggregate value (as determined in accordance with this Indenture) of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary being so designated (including any Guarantee by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof of any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary) will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of such designation and that such Investment would be permitted under Section 4.08 hereof;

(iii) the Subsidiary being so designated has not Guaranteed or otherwise directly or indirectly provided credit support for any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, except (A) to the extent such Guarantee or credit support would be released upon such designation or (B) a pledge of the Equity Interests of the Unrestricted Subsidiary that is the obligor thereunder; and

(iv) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

On or after the Issue Date, if the Company or any Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary acquires or creates another Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) that provides a Guarantee of any Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s obligations, or any Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) becomes an obligor, under any Material Indebtedness, then, within 30 days after such Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary provides such Guarantee or becomes such an obligor, the Company shall cause each such Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary to execute a supplemental indenture substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, providing for a Note Guarantee by such Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary, and deliver such Security Documents or supplements thereto as may be necessary to provide a Lien on all of such Guarantor’s assets (other than Excluded Assets) (provided that any extensions of time or waivers as are granted by the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement for the comparable requirement under the Credit Agreement or any related loan document shall automatically be granted under this Indenture and the Security Documents).

The Company may elect, in its sole discretion, to cause any Subsidiary that is not otherwise required to provide a Note Guarantee to become a Guarantor, in which case such Subsidiary shall not be required to comply with the 30-day period described above.

Section 4.15. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. Each Issuer and each Guarantor covenants (to the extent permitted by applicable law) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive any Issuer from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) each Issuer and each Guarantor hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants (to the extent permitted by applicable law) that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 4.16. Covenant Suspension when Notes Obtain Investment Grade Rating.

(a) Beginning on the day of a Covenant Suspension Event (as defined below) and ending on a Reversion Date (as defined below) (such period a “Suspension Period”) with respect to the Notes, Sections 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.13, 4.14 (but only with respect to any Person that is required to become a Guarantor after the date of the commencement of the applicable Suspension Period) and 5.01(a)(iv) hereof will not be applicable to the Notes (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”).

(b) On each Reversion Date, (i) all Indebtedness Incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension Period (or deemed incurred or issued in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction entered into during the Suspension Period) will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.09(b)(iii); (ii) any Affiliate Transaction entered into after such reinstatement pursuant to an agreement entered into during any Suspension Period shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to Section 4.11(b)(viii) hereof; (iii) any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor to take any action described in clauses (a)(i) through (a)(iii) of Section 4.13 hereof that becomes effective during any Suspension Period shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to Section 4.13(b) hereof; (iv) no Subsidiary of the Company shall be required to comply with Section 4.14 hereof after such reinstatement with respect to any Guarantee or obligation entered into by such Subsidiary during any Suspension Period; and (v) all Investments made during the Suspension Period (or deemed made in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction entered into during the Suspension Period) will be classified to have been made under clause (2)(i) of the definition of “Permitted Investments.”

100

(c) Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.08 hereof will be made as though Section 4.08 hereof had been in effect since the Issue Date and prior, but not during, the Suspension Period (including with respect to a Limited Condition Transaction entered into during the Suspension Period). Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will not reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.08(a) hereof.

(d) As described above, (i) no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred on the Reversion Date as a result of any actions taken by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period that were permitted at such time and none of the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period, or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising during any Suspension Period, in each case as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period (or, upon termination of the Suspension Period or after that time based solely on any action taken or event that occurred during the Suspension Period), and (ii) following a Reversion Date, the Company and each Restricted Subsidiary will be permitted, without causing a Default or Event of Default, to honor, comply with or otherwise perform any contractual commitments or obligations entered into or arising during any Suspension Period and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, including any payments thereunder.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Suspension Period the Company shall not designate any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to be Unrestricted Subsidiaries unless the Company would have been permitted to designate such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if a Suspension Period had not been in effect for any period, and, following the Reversion Date, such designation shall be deemed to have created an Investment or Restricted Payment pursuant to Section 4.08(d) hereof at the time of such designation.

(f) For purposes of Section 4.10 hereof, on the Reversion Date, the unutilized Excess Proceeds amount will be reset to zero.

(g) The Note Guarantees will be suspended during the Suspension Period. In addition, immediately upon the commencement of the Suspension Period and without further action of any Person, the security interests of the Collateral Agent and the other secured parties in the Collateral of the Co-Issuers shall be terminated and released. During the Suspension Period, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver, at the Company’s expense, all documents or other instruments that the Company shall reasonably request to evidence the termination and release of such security interests and shall return all Collateral in their possession to the applicable Issuer or Guarantor. During any Suspension Period, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall not be required to comply with the Security Documents.

(h) On the Reversion Date, the security interests of the Collateral Agent and the other secured parties in the Collateral of the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors shall, without any further action on the part of the Collateral Agent and the other secured parties, be reinstated and the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph shall no longer apply (until the commencement of a subsequent Suspension Period). Promptly following the Reversion Date, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall execute any and all documents,

101

financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements and other documents) that may be required under applicable law or that the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request, to reinstate such security interests (all at the expense of the Issuers and the Guarantors) , including with respect to any Subsidiaries or assets that would have been subjected to Section 10.02 hereof had such terminated Suspension Period not been in effect; provided that all such actions shall be completed no later than sixty (60) days after the date of termination of such Suspension Period (or such later date as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate).

(i) Any period of time that (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from at least two of Xxxxx’x, S&P and Fitch and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture is referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event.” If on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) any of Xxxxx’x, S&P and Fitch withdraws its Investment Grade Rating or downgrades the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating (in each case, to the extent any such rating agency has given an Investment Grade Rating) the result of which is that the Notes cease to have an Investment Grade Rating from at least two of Xxxxx’x, S&P and Fitch, then the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events.

(j) The Issuers shall deliver promptly to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate notifying it of the occurrence of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation to ascertain or verify the occurrence of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date.

(k) There can be no assurance that the Notes will ever achieve or maintain Investment Grade Ratings.

Section 4.17. No Impairment of the Security Interests. None of the Issuers or the Guarantors will be permitted to take any action, or knowingly or negligently omit to take any action, which action or omission would have the result of materially impairing the security interest with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of the Holders and the Trustee, it being understood that any release of Collateral as permitted by this Indenture and the Security Documents will not be deemed to impair such security interests.

Section 4.18. Further Assurances.

(a) Each Issuer and each Guarantor shall execute and file any and all further documents, financing statements, amendments to financing statements, continuation statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions that may be required under any applicable law, or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, to ensure that the Liens of the Security Documents on the Collateral remain perfected with the priority contemplated thereby, all at the expense of the Issuers and Guarantors and provide to the Collateral Agent and the Trustee, from time to time upon reasonable request, evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Trustee as to the perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Security Documents.

102

(b) Upon request of the Collateral Agent at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company will, and will cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to deliver to the Collateral Agent such reports relating to any such property or any Lien thereon as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request.

Section 4.19. Maintenance of Properties and Insurance.

(a) The Issuers will cause all material properties used in the conduct of their respective business or the business of any of the Guarantors to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order as is necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Company; provided that nothing in this Section 4.01 prevents the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from discontinuing the use, operation or maintenance of any of such properties or disposing of any of them, if such discontinuance or disposal is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole and such disposal otherwise complies with this Indenture.

(b) The Company will provide or cause to be provided, for itself and its Restricted Subsidiaries, insurance (including appropriate self-insurance) against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by companies similarly situated and owning like properties, including, but not limited to, products liability insurance and public liability insurance, with reputable insurers, in such amounts, with such deductibles and by such methods as are customary for companies similarly situated in the industry in which the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are then conducting business.

(v) in any transaction in which the Company is not the Successor Company, the Company or the Successor Company delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such transaction complies with this Indenture and, if applicable, all conditions precedent in this Indenture relating to the execution of the supplemental indenture have been satisfied, and, with respect to the Opinion of Counsel, that such supplemental indenture is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Successor Company.

(iv) (a) the Company fails to make any payment at maturity, after giving effect to any applicable grace period, on any Indebtedness in a principal amount in excess of $150.0 million and continuance of this failure to pay or (b)

(v) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(A) commences a voluntary case;

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

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

(E) takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency;

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

(A) is for relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case;

(B) appoints a custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property or assets of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary; or

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days;

(vii) the Note Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together as of the date of the most recent audited financial statements of the Company, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms of this Indenture) or any Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under this Indenture, the Security Documents or any Note Guarantee, other than by reason of the release of such Note Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or

107

(viii) (A) the Liens created by the Security Documents securing the Notes or Note Guarantees thereof shall at any time not constitute perfected Liens on any portion of the Collateral intended to be covered thereby (to the extent perfection is required by this Indenture or such Security Documents) other than in accordance with the terms of such relevant Security Document and this Indenture and other than the satisfaction in full of all Obligations under this Indenture or release or amendment of any such Lien in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or such Security Documents, or (B) except for expiration in accordance with its terms or amendment, modification, waiver, termination or release in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such relevant Security Document, any such Security Document shall for whatever reason be terminated or cease to be in full force and effect, if, in the case, such default continues for 30 days after notice by the Collateral Agent or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes and such default occurs with respect to a portion of the Collateral exceeding $50.0 million in fair market value, or (c) the enforceability thereof shall be contested by any Issuer or any Guarantor.

Section 6.02. Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default specified in clause (v) or (vi) of Section 6.01(a) with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding Notes shall automatically become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

(b) (i) If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (v) or (vi) of Section 6.01(a) with respect to the Company) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes issued under this Indenture may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, on the Notes to be immediately due and payable by notice in writing to the Issuers and the Trustee (if given by the Holders) specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration” (the “Acceleration Notice”), and the same shall become immediately due and payable.

(ii) Any notice of Default, Acceleration Notice or instruction to the Trustee to provide a notice of Default, Acceleration Notice or take any other action (a “Noteholder Direction”) provided by any one or more Holders (each a “Directing Holder”) must be accompanied by a written representation from each such Holder to the Issuers and the Trustee that such Holder is not (or, in the case such Holder is the Depositary or its nominee, that such Holder is being instructed solely by beneficial owners that have represented to such Holder that they are not) Net Short (a “Position Representation”), which representation, in the case of a Noteholder Direction relating to a notice of Default shall be deemed repeated at all times until the resulting Event of Default is cured or otherwise ceases to exist

108

or the Notes are accelerated. In addition, each Directing Holder must, at the time of providing a Noteholder Direction, covenant to provide the Company with such other information as the Company may reasonably request from time to time in order to verify the accuracy of such Xxxxxx’s Position Representation within five Business Days of request therefor (a “Verification Covenant”). The Trustee shall have no duty whatsoever to provide this information to the Company or to obtain this information for the Company. In any case in which the Holder is the Depositary or its nominee, any Position Representation or Verification Covenant required hereunder shall be provided by the beneficial owner of the Notes in lieu of the Depositary or its nominee. If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to the acceleration of the Notes, the Company determines in good faith that there is a reasonable basis to believe a Directing Holder providing such Noteholder Direction was, at any relevant time, in breach of its Position Representation and provides to the Trustee evidence that the Company has filed papers with a court of competent jurisdiction seeking a determination that such Directing Holder was, at such time, in breach of its Position Representation, and seeking to invalidate any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction, the cure period with respect to such Event of Default shall be automatically stayed pending a final and non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction on such matter. If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Company provides to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that a Directing Holder failed to satisfy its Verification Covenant, the cure period with respect to any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction shall be automatically stayed pending satisfaction of such Verification Covenant. Any breach of the Position Representation shall result in such Holder’s participation in such Noteholder Direction being disregarded; and, if, without the participation of such Holder, the percentage of Notes held by the remaining Holders that provided such Noteholder Direction would have been insufficient to validly provide such Noteholder Direction, such Noteholder Direction shall be void ab initio, with the effect that such Event of Default shall be deemed never to have occurred and the Trustee shall be deemed not to have received such Noteholder Direction or any notice of such Event of Default; provided, however, this shall not invalidate any indemnity or security provided by the Directing Holders to the Trustee which obligations shall continue to survive. With their acquisition of the Notes, each Holder and subsequent purchaser of the Notes consents to the delivery of its Position Representation by the Trustee to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section. Each Holder and subsequent purchaser of the Notes waives any and all claims, in law and/or in equity, against the Trustee and agrees not to commence any legal proceeding against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee shall not be liable for any action that the Trustee takes in accordance with this Section, or arising out of or in connection with following instructions or taking actions in accordance with a Noteholder Direction. The Company hereby agrees to waive any and all claims, in law and/or in equity, against the Trustee, and not to commence any legal proceeding against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee shall not be liable for any action that the Trustee takes in

109

accordance with this Section, or arising out of or in connection with following instructions or taking actions in accordance with a Noteholder Direction except to the extent of the Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in a final and non-appealable decision by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Company confirms that any and all other actions that the Trustee takes or omits to take under this Section and all fees, costs and expenses of the Trustee and its agents and counsel arising hereunder and in connection herewith shall be covered by the Company’s indemnifications under the indemnification section of this Indenture.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company so elects and communicates in writing to the Trustee, the sole remedy of the Holders for a failure to comply with Section 4.03, will for the first 180 days after the occurrence of such failure consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest (“Additional Interest”) on the Notes at a rate per annum equal to 0.25% for the first 180 days after the occurrence of such failure. The Additional Interest will accrue on all outstanding Notes from and including the date on which such failure first occurs until such violation is cured or waived and shall be payable on each interest payment date to Holders of record on the regular record date immediately preceding the interest payment date. On the 181st day after such failure (if such violation is not cured or waived prior to such 181st day), such failure will then constitute an Event of Default without any further notice or lapse of time and the Notes will be subject to acceleration as provided herein.

(c) At any time after a declaration of acceleration of the unpaid principal, premium (if any) and accrued and unpaid interest has occurred with respect to the Notes as described in Section 6.02(a) or (b), the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences by written notice to the Company and the Trustee:

(i) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;

(ii) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or accrued interest, if any, that has become due solely because of the acceleration;

(iii) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;

(iv) if the Company has paid the Trustee its compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses (including the fees and expenses of its counsel), disbursements and advances; and

(v) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default under this Indenture of the type described in clause (iv) of Section 6.01(a), the Trustee shall have received an Officer’s Certificate that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

110

(d) If a Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another default (the “Initial Default”) occurs, then at the time such Initial Default is cured, such Default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another default that resulted solely because of that Initial Default will also be cured without any further action.

(e) Any Default or Event of Default for the failure to comply with the time periods prescribed in Section 4.03 or otherwise to deliver any notice or certificate pursuant to any other provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to be cured upon the delivery of any such report required by Section 4.03 or such notice or certificate, as applicable, even though such delivery is not within the prescribed period specified in this Indenture.

Section 6.03. Other Remedies. (a) If a Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

(b) The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon a Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

(c) Holders of the Notes may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes, except as provided in this Indenture. The Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee.

Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes at the time then outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any Default with respect to such Notes and its consequences by providing written notice thereof to the Company and the Trustee, except a Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or a covenant or provision of this Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected. In the case of any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, respectively; provided that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

111

Section 6.05. Control by Majority. Subject to the other provisions of this Indenture and applicable law, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may 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 it. The Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with any law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, it being expressly understood that the Trustee shall not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether such action is prejudicial; provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. In the event the Trustee takes any action or follows any direction pursuant to this Indenture, the Trustee shall be indemnified to its satisfaction against any losses, expenses, claims and liabilities caused by taking such action or following such direction. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes.

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. A Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

(i) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(ii) the Holder or Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(iii) such Holder or Holders offer and provide to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, claim, liability or expense;

(iv) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 45 days after receipt of the request and the offer and the provision of indemnity; and

(v) during such 45-day period the Holder or Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction in accordance with Section 6.04 which is inconsistent with the request.

Section 6.07. Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the contractual right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on a Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note, 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 the Holder.

112

Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If a Default in payment of principal or interest specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 6.01(a) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any other obligor on the Notes for the whole amount of principal and accrued interest, if any, and fees remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate per annum borne by the Notes and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the compensation, reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may 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 relating to the Company, its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian in any such judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event such payments shall be made directly to the Holders, to pay to each of the Trustee and the Agents any amount due to it for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee and the Agents under Section 7.06. 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 thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. The Trustee shall be entitled to participate as a member of any official committee of creditors in the matters as it deems necessary or advisable.

Section 6.10. Priorities. Subject to the provisions of Article 11, if the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6 (including upon any realization of any Lien upon Collateral), it shall, subject to the terms of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, pay out the money or property in the following order:

First: to the Trustee and the Agents for amounts due under Section 7.06;

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

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

113

The Trustee, upon prior notice to the Company, 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 Trustee, a court of competent jurisdiction, in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by a Holder or Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

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

(i) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes issued hereunder to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on the Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below;

(ii) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Issuers have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that (a) the Issuers have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that, the beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes issued hereunder will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(iii) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Issuers have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes issued hereunder will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(iv) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from, or arising in connection with, the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowing);

(v) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which any Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which any Issuer or any Guarantor is bound;

(vi) the Issuers must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit referred to in clause (i) was not made by the Issuers with the intent of preferring the Holders of the Notes over the other creditors of any Issuer or any Guarantor or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of any Issuer or any Guarantor or others; and

122

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

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by clauses (a)(ii) and (a)(iii) above with respect to a Legal Defeasance or a Covenant Defeasance, as applicable, need not be delivered if all the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (x) have become due and payable or (y) will become due and payable on the maturity date within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuers.

(c) Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon the written request of the Issuers, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Issuers terminate, such instrument of acknowledgment to be prepared and delivered to the Trustee by the Issuers.

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

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

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuers from time to time, upon the written request of the Issuers, any cash in U.S. dollars or non-callable U.S. Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a)(ii) 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.

123

Section 8.06. Repayment to Issuers. Any money or property deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by any Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for the earlier of (i) two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable and (ii) such time as the money or property escheats to the state, shall be paid to the Issuers on their request or (if then held by any Issuer) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Issuers for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuers as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuers cause to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuers.

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

ARTICLE 9

Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders of Notes. (a) Subject to Section 6.07, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the Trustee, together, with the written consent of the Holder or Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Notes without notice to any other Holders. Subject to

125

Section 6.07, the Holder or Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may waive any existing default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes) without notice to any other Holders (except a default in respect of the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or a covenant or provision of this Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected).

(b) Notwithstanding Section 9.02(a), without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected, an amendment or waiver of this Indenture, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, the Security Documents, the Notes or the Note Guarantees may not:

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

(vii) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note issued under this Indenture (other than a payment required by Section 4.07 hereof, except as set forth in clause (x) of this Section 9.02(b));

(viii) make any change in the ranking or priority in right of payment of any Note issued hereunder that would adversely affect the Holders of the Notes (other than with respect to provisions relating to Section 4.06);

(x) amend, change or modify in any material respect the obligation of the Issuers to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer with respect to the Notes in respect of a Change of Control that has occurred; or

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

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

(d) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuers shall give to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuers to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.03. Revocation and Effect of Consents. (a) Until an amendment, waiver or supplement becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his or her Note or portion of his or her Note by written notice to the Trustee or the Issuers received before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented (and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver.

(b) The Issuers may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver which record date shall be at least 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 9.03(a), those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date. The Issuers shall inform the Trustee in writing of the fixed record date if applicable.

(c) After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (i) through (xi) of Section 9.02(b), in which case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder of a Note who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note; provided that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on a Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates without the consent of such Holder.

127

Section 9.04. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Issuers may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Issuers shall provide the Trustee with an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and cause the Trustee to return it to the Holder at the Issuers’ expense. Alternatively, if the Issuers so determine, the Issuers in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.05. Trustee and Collateral Agent to Sign Amendments, Etc. The Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent shall execute any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9; provided that the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver which affects the Trustee’s and/or the Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture. The Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent shall receive, and shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate each stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Issuers enforceable in accordance with its terms. Such Opinion of Counsel and Officer’s Certificate shall be at the expense of the Issuers.

ARTICLE 10

COLLATERAL AND SECURITY

Section 10.01. Security Documents.

(a) The due and punctual payment of the Obligations, including payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an Interest Payment Date, at maturity, by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on the Notes, according to the terms hereunder or thereunder, are secured as provided in the Security Documents which the Issuers and Guarantors have entered into simultaneously with the execution of this Indenture and will be secured by Security Documents hereafter delivered as required by this Indenture. The Trustee and the Issuers hereby acknowledge and agree that the Collateral Agent holds the Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Holders and the Trustee, in each case pursuant and subject to the terms of the Security Documents.

(b) Each Holder, by its acceptance thereof, consents and agrees to the terms of the Security Documents (including, without limitation, the provisions providing for possession, use, release and foreclosure of Collateral and the terms of the Intercreditor

128

Each Holder, by its acceptance thereof, (i) authorizes the Trustee to appoint the Authorized Representative to act on its behalf as the Authorized Representative under this Indenture and the Security Documents, (ii) authorizes the Trustee and the Authorized Representative to appoint the Collateral Agent to act on its behalf as the Collateral Agent under this Indenture, the Security Agreement and under each of the other Security Documents, (iii) authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith and (iv) authorizes the Trustee and the Authorized Representative to authorize the Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of the Security Agreement and the other Security Documents, including for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any grantor thereunder to secure any of the First-Priority Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(c) Each Holder, by its acceptance thereof, authorizes the Collateral Agent, the Authorized Representative and the Trustee, as applicable, to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement (or any joinder or supplement thereto) (or, if such agreement is terminated, any substantially identical intercreditor agreement on behalf of, and binding with respect to, the Holders and their interest in designated assets, in connection with the incurrence of any First-Priority Obligations). The Collateral Agent or the Authorized Representative, as applicable, will enter into any such future intercreditor agreement at the written request of the Issuers, provided that the Issuers will have delivered to the Collateral Agent or the Authorized Representative, as the case may be, an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such other intercreditor agreement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and the Security Documents and that all conditions precedent thereto have been met or waived.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuers shall not be required to create or perfect pledges of, or security interests in, or take other actions with respect, to any Excluded Assets.

The Collateral Agent shall, at the written direction of the Holders, grant extensions of time for the perfection of security interests in particular assets and the delivery of assets where perfection cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required and any extensions of time or waivers as are granted by the Credit Agreement Agent or the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement for the comparable requirement under the Credit Agreement or any related loan document or the applicable collateral agent under any indenture governing the Existing Secured Notes or any related collateral document shall automatically be granted under this Indenture and the Security Documents.

129

No actions required by the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction shall be required in order to create any security interests in any assets or to perfect or make enforceable such security interests (including any intellectual property registered in any non-U.S. jurisdiction) (it being understood that there shall be no security agreements or pledge agreements governed under the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction or any requirement to make any filings in any foreign jurisdiction including with respect to foreign intellectual property).

No actions shall be required with respect to assets requiring perfection through control agreements or perfection by “control” (as defined in the UCC) (other than in respect of Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than intercompany Indebtedness) owing to the Issuers or any Guarantor that is evidenced by a note in excess of $7,500,000, Indebtedness of any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary that is owing to any Issuer or any Guarantor and certificated Equity Interests of wholly owned Restricted Subsidiaries that are Material Subsidiaries otherwise required to be pledged pursuant to the Security Agreement. In addition, neither any Issuer nor any Guarantor shall be required to take any action not taken for the Credit Agreement (so long as such Credit Agreement is in place) or the Existing Notes.

Section 10.02. New Guarantors; After-Acquired Property.

(a) Subject to this Section 10.02, with respect to any property acquired after the Issue Date by any Issuer or any Guarantor other than Excluded Assets that are not automatically subject to the Lien created by any of the Security Documents, such Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, shall promptly (and in any event within sixty (60) days after the acquisition thereof or such later date as the Collateral Agent may agree; provided that any extensions of time or waivers as are granted by the Credit Agreement Agent for the comparable requirement under the Credit Agreement or any related loan document shall automatically be granted under this Indenture and the Security Documents) (i) execute, file and deliver to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent such amendments or supplements to the relevant Security Documents or such other documents as may be required to grant to the Collateral Agent, for its benefit and for the benefit of the Holders, a Lien on such property subject to no Liens other than Liens permitted hereunder; (ii) take all actions reasonably necessary or advisable to cause such Lien to be duly perfected within the United States to the extent required by such Security Document in accordance with all applicable laws, including the filing of financing statements and amendments thereto in applicable jurisdictions within the United States; and (iii) to the extent required under this Indenture or the Security Documents, deliver surveys and title insurance for real property.

(b) With respect to any Person that is or becomes a Guarantor after the Issue Date, the Issuers shall promptly (and in any event within sixty (60) days after the date such Person becomes a Guarantor or such later date as the Collateral Agent may agree; provided that any extensions of time or waivers as are granted by the Credit Agreement Agent for the comparable requirement under the Credit Agreement or any related loan document shall automatically be granted under this Indenture and the Security Documents), cause any such Subsidiary (A) to execute a joinder agreement to the applicable Security Documents (including the Security Agreement), substantially in the form annexed thereto and (B) to

130

take all other actions to cause the Lien created by the applicable Security Documents (including the Security Agreement) to be duly perfected to the extent required by this Indenture and the Security Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lien or similar interest shall be required to be granted, directly or indirectly, in any Excluded Assets.

Section 10.03. Authorized Representative; Collateral Agent.

(a) The Trustee hereby appoints the Collateral Agent to act on its behalf as the Authorized Representative under this Indenture and each Security Document, and the Collateral Agent agrees to act as such; provided that it is understood and agreed that all communications between the Authorized Representative and the Holders and all instructions or directions by Holders to the Authorized Representative shall be made or given through the Trustee.

(b) The Trustee and the Authorized Representative hereby appoint Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas to act on its behalf as the Collateral Agent under this Indenture, the Security Agreement and under each of the other Security Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas agrees to act as such. The provisions of this Section 10.03 are solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and none of the Trustee and the Holders shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be authorized and binding upon all Holders. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture and the Security Documents, the duties of the Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the Security Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder or any Guarantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture and the Security Documents or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(c) Subject to the provisions of the applicable Security Document, each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, agrees that the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver the Security Documents to which it is a party and all agreements, power of attorney, documents and instruments incidental thereto, and act in accordance with the terms thereof. The Collateral Agent shall hold (directly or through any agent) and is directed by each Holder to so hold, and shall be entitled to enforce on behalf of the holders of Liens on the Collateral created by the Security Documents for their benefit, subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.

131

(d) The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee or unless a written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default is received by the Collateral Agent at the address specified in Section 13.01, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee in accordance with Article 6 or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (subject to this Section 10.03).

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

(f) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Issuer or any Guarantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all of the any Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s property constituting Collateral 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 Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture or any other Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to the Trustee or any Holder as to any of the foregoing.

(g) The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by written notice to the Trustee and the Issuers, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Collateral Agent. If the Collateral Agent resigns under this Indenture, the Issuers shall appoint a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the intended effective date of the resignation of the Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Collateral Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Trustee, subject to the consent of the Issuers (which shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required during a continuing Event of Default), a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed and consented to by the Issuers pursuant to the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after

132

the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the notice of resignation) the Collateral Agent (at the Issuers’ expense) shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 10.03 (and Article 6) shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent under this Indenture. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible for the failure of any Issuer or any Guarantor to maintain insurance on the Collateral, nor shall it be responsible for any loss due to the insufficiency of such insurance or by reason of the failure of any insurer to pay the full amount of any loss against which it may have insured to the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any other Person.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or any Security Document, but subject in any event to the provisions of Article 7, in no event shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with respect to, the recording, filing, registering, perfection, protection or maintenance of the security interests or Liens intended to be created by this Indenture or the Security Documents (including without limitation the filing or continuation of any UCC financing statements, amendments to financing statements, mortgages, security agreements, or similar documents or instruments in any U.S. or foreign jurisdiction), nor shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, and neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee makes any representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness or priority of any of the Security Documents or the security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby.

(i) The provisions of Article 7, mutatis mutandis, shall apply to the Collateral Agent.

Section 10.04. Release of Liens.

(a) The Collateral shall be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Security Documents to secure the Obligations, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, at any time or from time to time as provided by this Section 10.04. Upon such release, subject to the terms of the Security Documents all rights in the Collateral securing Obligations shall revert to the Issuers and the Guarantors. The Collateral shall be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Security Documents to secure the Notes Obligations under one or more of the following circumstances:

(i) upon release of a Guarantee (with respect to the Liens securing such Guarantee granted by such Guarantor);

133

(ii) upon defeasance or discharge of the Notes and this Indenture as provided under Article 8 and Article 12;

(iii) upon payment in full of principal, interest and all other Obligations (other than contingent Obligations in respect of which no claims have been made) on the Notes issued under this Indenture;

(iv) in whole or in part, in accordance with the provisions set forth under Article 9;

(v) in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral to any Person other than the Company or any Restricted Subsidiaries (but excluding any transaction subject to Article 5 where the recipient is required to become the obligor on the Notes or a Guarantee) that does not violate any of the terms of this Indenture (with respect to the Lien on such Collateral);

Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any such release undertaken in good faith and that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture and the Security Documents.

(c) The release of any Collateral from the terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents will not be deemed to impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof if and to the extent the Collateral is released pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents.

Section 10.05. Authorization of Actions to be Taken by the Trustee Under the Security Documents.

Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents, the Trustee may direct, on behalf of Holders of the Notes, the Authorized Representative to take action permitted to be taken by it under the Security Documents.

134

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and subject to the provisions of the Security Agreement, and subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 and Section 7.02, the Trustee may, without the consent of the Holders, direct, on behalf of the Holders, the Authorized Representative to direct the Collateral Agent to, take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to:

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

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

Subject to the provisions of the Security Agreement and the other Security Documents, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent will have power to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings, at the expense of the Issuers, 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 Collateral Agent may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interests 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 of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent). Nothing in this Section 10.05 shall be considered to impose any such duty or obligation to act on the part of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent.

Section 10.06. Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Authorized Representative Under the Security Documents.

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

Section 10.07. Termination of Security Interest.

Upon the full and final payment and performance of all Obligations of the Issuers under this Indenture and the Notes (other than contingent Obligations in respect of which no claims have been made) or upon Legal Defeasance, Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 8 and Article 12 hereof, the Trustee (or the Authorized Representative on its behalf) will, at the written request of the Issuers, deliver a certificate to the Collateral Agent stating that such Obligations have been paid in full, and instruct the Collateral Agent to, as applicable, either (a) release the Liens securing the Obligations pursuant to this Indenture and the Security Documents or (b) cease to be a party to the Security Documents on behalf of the Trustee and the Holders.

135

Section 10.08. Purchaser Protected.

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

Section 10.09. Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Trustee.

In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article 10 upon an Issuer or a Guarantor with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property or assets may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of an Issuer or a Guarantor or of any officer or officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article 10; and if the Trustee shall be in the possession of the Collateral under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Trustee.

ARTICLE 11

GUARANTEES

Section 11.01. Guarantee. (a) Subject to this Article 11, each of the Guarantors, from time to time a party hereto, by executing and delivering this Indenture or a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto hereby, jointly and severally, and fully and 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 Issuers hereunder or thereunder, that: (i) the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest and defaulted interest, if any, on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium, if any, and interest and defaulted interest, if any, on the Notes (pursuant to Section 2.13), if lawful (subject in all cases to any applicable grace period provided herein), and all other obligations of the Issuers to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so Guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a Guarantee of payment and not a Guarantee of collection.

136

(b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, its 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 or the Trustee with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Subject to Section 6.06, each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of any Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against any Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

(c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuers, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to any of the Issuers or the Guarantors, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or such Holder, the Note Guarantees, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated with full force and effect.

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

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

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

(g) If required by Section 4.14, the Issuers shall cause such Subsidiaries to execute supplemental indentures to this Indenture in accordance with Section 4.14 and this Article 11, to the extent applicable.

Section 11.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute (i) a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal, state or foreign law to

137

the extent applicable to its Note Guarantee or (ii) an unlawful distribution under any applicable state or foreign law prohibiting distributions by an insolvent entity to the extent applicable to its Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 11, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance or such an unlawful distribution.

Section 11.03. Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc., on Certain Terms. Each Guarantor may consolidate with or merge into or sell its assets to any Issuer or another Guarantor without limitation, or with, into or to any other Persons upon the terms and conditions set forth in Article 5.

Section 11.04. Releases. The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released without any further action by any Person in the event that:

(a) there is a sale, disposition or other transfer (including through merger or consolidation) of all of the Capital Stock (or any sale, disposition or other transfer of Capital Stock (including through merger or consolidation) following which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary, including by way of a dividend of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor to the stockholders of the Company), or all or substantially all the assets, of the applicable Guarantor to a Person that is not a Subsidiary of the Company where such sale, disposition or other transfer is not prohibited by the terms of this Indenture;

(b) if the Issuers exercise their Legal Defeasance option or their Covenant Defeasance option as described under Article 8 or if their obligations under this Indenture are discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as described under Article 12;

(c) in the case of the Note Guarantees issued on the Issue Date, upon the release or discharge of the Guarantee by such Guarantor of Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, or, in all other cases, the release or discharge of such other Guarantee that resulted in the creation of such Note Guarantee, except, in each case, a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such Guarantee (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement is still a release, and that if any such Guarantee is so reinstated, such Note Guarantee shall also be reinstated to the extent that such Subsidiary would then be required to provide a Note Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.14); provided that the Guarantees by such Guarantor of the Existing Notes are also released at or prior to such time; or

(d) the proper designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

138

ARTICLE 12

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 12.01. Satisfaction and Discharge. (a) This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder and the Liens, if any, on the Collateral securing the Notes will be released, when:

(i) either:

(A) all the Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuers and thereafter repaid to the Issuers, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(B) all the Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the giving of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable by reason of the giving of a notice of redemption or otherwise within one year and the Issuers have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes of, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

(ii) in the case of subclause (i)(B) above, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture on the date of the deposit or will occur as a result of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from or arising in connection with borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowings) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other material instrument to which the Issuers are a party or by which the Issuers are bound;

(iii) the Issuers have paid or caused to be paid all sums due and payable by it under this Indenture; and

(iv) the Issuers have delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes issued hereunder at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.

139

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

(c) Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.01(a)(i)(B), the provisions of Sections 12.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive such satisfaction and discharge. In addition, nothing in this Section 12.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.06 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Section 12.02. Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including any Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in U.S. dollars or U.S. Government Securities in accordance with Section 12.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuers’ and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof; provided that if the Issuers have made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of their obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of the Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

141

In respect of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not have any duty or obligation to verify or confirm that the Person sending instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications or information by electronic transmission is, in fact, a Person authorized to give such instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications or information on behalf of the party purporting to send such electronic transmission; and the Trustee shall not have any liability for any losses, claims, liabilities, costs or expenses incurred or sustained by any party as a result of such reliance upon or compliance with such instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications or information except as a result of the Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in a final and non-appealable decision by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each other party agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of electronic methods, including any non-secure method, such as, but without limitation, by facsimile or electronic mail, to submit instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications or information to the Trustee, including without limitation, the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, notices, reports or other communications or information, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

If any Issuer gives a notice or communication to Holders, it will promptly give a copy to the Trustee and each Agent.

Section 13.03. Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent. Upon any request or application by the Issuers to the Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action under this Indenture, the Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee:

(ii) an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (which must include the statements set forth in Section 13.04 hereof) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent and covenants have been satisfied.

The parties agree that this Indenture or any other related document or any instrument, agreement or document necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Indenture or the other related documents or related hereto or thereto (including, without limitation, addendums, amendments, notices, instructions, communications with respect to the delivery of securities or the wire transfer of funds or other communications) (“Executed Documentation”) may be accepted, executed or agreed to through the use of an

The Issuers will pay principal, premium, if any, and interest on Definitive Notes at the office of the Paying Agent. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all the terms and provisions of the Indenture, 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.

A-4

The Notes are joint and several secured senior obligations of the Issuers, secured by a perfected first-priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) on the Collateral (as defined in the Indenture). This Note is one of the Initial Notes referred to in the Indenture. The Notes include the Initial Notes and any Additional Notes issued in exchange for Initial Notes or Additional Notes pursuant to the Indenture. The Initial Notes and any Additional Notes are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Subsidiaries to, among other things, create or incur Liens and enter into sale and leaseback transactions. The Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of each Issuer and each Guarantor to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its property.

To Guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Issuers under the Indenture and the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture, the Guarantors have, jointly and severally, unconditionally Guaranteed the obligations of the Issuers under the Notes on a senior secured basis pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuers will offer a payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased, to, but excluding, the Change of Control Payment Date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Issuers at such time has given notice of redemption under Section 3.07(a) of the Indenture with respect to all outstanding Notes, the Issuers will give prompt written notice to the Trustee and each Holder describing the transaction or transactions and ratings downgrade that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is given, pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice. The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder, if any, to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or

A-5

regulations conflict with the Change of Control Triggering Event provisions of the Indenture, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 4.07 of the Indenture by virtue of such conflict.

(8) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuers may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuers need not register the transfer of or exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part or subject to purchase in a Change of Control Offer, except the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of any Note being redeemed or purchased in part. Also, the Issuers need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before the day the Issuers give notice of redemption of the Notes or makes a Change of Control Offer and ending at the close of business on the day notice of redemption is given or the Change of Control Offer is made.

(11) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Subject to 6.02(b) of the Indenture, if any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.

A-6

action or notice. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or a covenant or provision of the Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected. The Issuers are required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required, upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default and the remedial action the Company proposes to take in connection therewith.

Subject to certain conditions, the Issuers at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the Notes, the Note Guarantees and the Indenture if the Issuers deposit with the Trustee money in U.S. dollars or U.S. Government Securities for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.
