Except for termination or release of a Notes Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly provided for in Section 2.8 and Article IV, the obligations of each Notes Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise (other than defense of payment or performance). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Notes Guarantor hereunder, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Trustee or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of the Indenture or otherwise; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, the Indenture or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Notes Guarantor under this Secured Notes Guarantee; (iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the exchange, substitution, release or any impairment of, any security held by the Trustee or any other Secured Party for the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Notes Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of any Notes Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the payment in full in cash in immediately available funds of all the Guaranteed Obligations); (vi) any illegality, lack of validity or enforceability of any Guaranteed Obligation; (vii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Company, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Company or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any Guaranteed Obligation (other than the payment in full in cash in immediately available funds of all the Guaranteed Obligations); (viii) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights that such Notes Guarantor may have at any time against the Company, the Trustee, or any other corporation or Person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions; provided that nothing herein will prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim; and (ix) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Trustee that might otherwise constitute a defense to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Company or any other guarantor or surety (other than defense of payment or performance).

To the

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Notes Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Notes Guarantor against any other Notes Guarantor, as the case may be, or any security.
Section 2.4 Reinstatement.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.8, each Notes Guarantor agrees that its Secured Notes Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Trustee or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Company or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
Section 2.5 Agreement To Pay; Subrogation.
In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Trustee or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Notes Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Notes Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Trustee for distribution to the applicable Secured Party in cash in immediately available funds the amount of such unpaid Guaranteed Obligation. Upon payment by any Notes Guarantor of any sums to the First Lien Collateral Agent as provided above, all rights of such Notes Guarantor against the Company arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subject to Section 7.06 of the Indenture.

To effectuate the foregoing intention, the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Secured Parties and the Notes Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Guaranteed Obligations of each Notes Guarantor under this Secured Notes Guarantee at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Guaranteed Obligations of such Notes Guarantor under this Secured Notes Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

(1) A Notes Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder in accordance with Article IV hereof.
(2) A Secured Notes Guarantee as to any Notes Guarantor shall terminate and be of no further force or effect and such Notes Guarantor shall be deemed to be released from all obligations under this Article II upon:

Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be made without recourse to or warranty by the Trustee. The Company agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the execution and delivery of such documents.

(a) in respect of the property and assets of a Notes Guarantor, upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Indenture as a result of which such Notes Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary of New Parent or otherwise ceases to be a Pledgor (as defined in the Collateral Agreement), and such Notes Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations hereunder and under the Security Documents, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to such Notes Guarantor;
(b) upon any sale or other transfer by the Company or any Notes Guarantor of any Collateral that is permitted under the Indenture to any Person that is not the Company or a Notes Guarantor (including in connection with a condemnation or casualty event), or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted by the Collateral Agreement in any Collateral pursuant to the Indenture, the security interest in such Collateral securing the Secured Notes shall be automatically released, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party;

(d) in respect of the property and assets of a Notes Guarantor, upon such Notes Guarantor becoming an Unrestricted Subsidiary or an Excluded Subsidiary, and such Notes Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations hereunder and under the Security Documents;
(e) in respect of the property and assets of a Notes Guarantor, upon the release or discharge of the pledge granted by such Notes Guarantor to secure the First Lien Credit Facility Obligations or any other indebtedness or the guarantee of any other indebtedness which resulted in the obligation to become a Notes Guarantor with respect to the Secured Notes;
(f) as described under Article IX of the Indenture; and

14
First Supplemental Indenture
(2) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the maturity of the Secured Notes has been accelerated (whether by declaration or otherwise) and the Trustee has delivered a notice of acceleration to the First Lien Collateral Agent, no release of Collateral pursuant to the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture or the Security Documents will be effective as against the Holders of the Secured Notes, except as otherwise provided in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement.
(3) To the extent necessary and for so long as required for any Subsidiary of the New Parent not to be subject to any requirement pursuant to Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act to file separate financial statements with the SEC (or any other governmental agency), the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary of the New Parent (the “Regulation S-X Excluded Collateral”) shall not be included in the Collateral with respect to the Secured Notes so affected and shall not be subject to the liens securing the Secured Notes and the Secured Notes Obligations in accordance with and only to the extent provided in the Security Documents.
Section 3.5 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 III upon the Company or the Notes Guarantors with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Company or any Notes Guarantor or of any officer or officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article III; and if the Trustee or the First Lien Collateral Agent shall be in the possession of the Collateral under any provision of this First Supplemental Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Trustee or the First Lien Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

In the event that (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee, in form and substance acceptable to it, an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel certifying that all the Obligations under the Secured Notes have been satisfied and discharged by the payment in full of the Company’s obligations under the Secured Notes, and all such Obligations have been so satisfied, or (ii) a discharge, legal defeasance or covenant defeasance occurs under Article XII of the Indenture with respect to the Secured Notes, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company and the First Lien Collateral Agent a notice stating that the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders of the Secured Notes, disclaims and gives up any and all rights it has in or to the Collateral with respect the Secured Notes, and any rights it has under the Secured Notes, and upon receipt by the First Lien Collateral Agent of such notice, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to hold a lien in the Collateral with respect to the Secured Notes on behalf of the Trustee and shall (or shall direct the First Lien Collateral Agent to) do or cause to be done all acts reasonably necessary to release such lien, with respect to the Secured Notes, as soon as is reasonably practicable.
15

17
First Supplemental Indenture
If at any time the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company has made a good faith determination to file a registration statement with the SEC with respect to an initial public offering of such Person’s Capital Stock, the Company will not be required to disclose any information or take any actions that, in the good faith view of the Company, would violate the securities laws or the SEC’s “gun jumping” rules or otherwise have an adverse effect on such initial public offering.

In addition, the requirements of this covenant shall be deemed satisfied by the posting of reports that would be required to be provided to the Holders on the Company’s website (or the website of any direct or indirect parent of the Company). Furthermore, (1) the time requirements set forth in clause (ii) of the first paragraph of this covenant shall be satisfied if the quarterly reports for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2016, June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016 are filed within 75 days after the end of such fiscal quarter and (2) the time requirements set forth in clause (i) of the first paragraph of this covenant shall be satisfied if the annual report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016 is filed within 120 days after the end of such fiscal year.
