SECTION 2.1 Form and Dating.

(a) The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes initially shall be issued only in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof (or if a PIK Payment has been made, in minimum denominations of $1.00 and any integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof).

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, 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) The Issuer shall pay the applicable amount of PIK Interest (in accordance with the requirements contained in the Notes) for each interest period in respect of each outstanding Note on the interest payment date in respect of such interest period by either (i) increasing the outstanding principal amount of Notes by an amount equal to the PIK Interest (rounded up to the nearest whole dollar), and, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, an adjustment shall be made by the Trustee to reflect such increase, with respect to Global Notes, in the “Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Global Note” or the “Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Temporary Regulation S Global Note” (as applicable), or (ii) issuing additional Notes (the “PIK Notes”) under this Indenture on the same terms and conditions as the Notes with respect to which such PIK Notes are being issued as PIK Interest in an amount equal to the PIK Interest (rounded up to the nearest whole dollar) (in each case of (i) and (ii), a “PIK Payment”). The Initial Notes (including any increases thereof as the result of a PIK Payment and any PIK Notes issued as a PIK Payment with respect thereto) and any Additional Notes of the same series (including any increases thereof as the result of a PIK Payment and any PIK Notes issued as a PIK Payment with respect to such Additional Notes) subsequently issued under this Indenture will be treated as a single

Unless the context requires otherwise, references to the “principal” or “principal amount” of Notes or of the Notes of any series for all purposes of this Indenture includes any increase in the principal amount of outstanding Notes (including PIK Notes) as a result of a PIK Payment or outstanding Notes of such series (including PIK Notes) as a result of a PIK Payment with respect to the Notes of such series, as applicable. Interest for the last interest period concluding on the Stated Maturity of the Notes and in connection with any redemption or repurchase shall be payable entirely in cash.

(c) The Initial Notes shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Notes substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto, represented thereby with the Trustee as Note Custodian for the Depositary, and registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided.

Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges, redemptions and transfers of interests. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Note Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with written instructions given by the Beneficial Owner thereof as required by Section 2.6 and 2.16 hereof.

Except as set forth in Section 2.6 hereof, the Global Notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor of the Depositary or its nominee.

Initial Notes that are offered in reliance on Rule 144A shall be issued in the form of one or more permanent Global Notes substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A (the “QIB Global Note”) deposited with the Trustee, as Note Custodian, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided.

by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. Initial Notes that are offered to Institutional Accredited Investors shall be issued in the form of one or more permanent Global Notes substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A (collectively, the “IAI Global Note”), deposited with the Trustee, as Note Custodian.

The aggregate principal amount of each Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on such Global Note and the records of the Trustee, as Note Custodian.

(“Clearstream”). After the expiration of the Restricted Period and upon the receipt by the Trustee of:

(i) a written certificate from the Depositary, together with copies of certificates from Euroclear and Clearstream certifying that they have received certification of non-United States beneficial ownership of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of each Regulation S Temporary Global Note (except to the extent of any beneficial owners thereof who acquired an interest therein during the Restricted Period pursuant to another exemption from registration under the Securities Act and who

shall take delivery of a beneficial ownership interest in a 144A Global Note bearing a Restricted Notes Legend, all as contemplated by Section 2.6(b) hereof); and

(ii) an Officers’ Certificate from the Issuer,

beneficial interests in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note shall be exchanged for beneficial interests in the Regulation S Permanent Global Note pursuant to the applicable issuance procedures. Simultaneously with the authentication of the Regulation S Permanent Global Note, the Trustee will cancel the Regulation S Temporary Global Note.

The Issuer initially appoints DTC to act as the Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.

SECTION 2.4 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any Default by the Issuer in making any such payment. While any such Default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee.

Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money.

(3) Regulation S Temporary Global Note Legend. The Regulation S Temporary Global Note shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE RIGHTS ATTACHING TO THIS REGULATION S TEMPORARY GLOBAL NOTE, AND THE CONDITIONS AND PROCEDURES GOVERNING ITS EXCHANGE FOR DEFINITIVE NOTES, ARE AS SPECIFIED IN THE INDENTURE (AS DEFINED HEREIN). THIS REGULATION S TEMPORARY GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BECOME THE REGULATION S PERMANENT GLOBAL NOTE AFTER EXPIRATION OF THE RESTRICTED PERIOD.”

(f) At such time as all beneficial interests in Global Notes have been exchanged for Certificated Notes, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled, all Global Notes shall be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Certificated Notes, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled, 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 the Note Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction.

(g) General provisions relating to transfers and exchanges:

(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, Global Notes and Certificated Notes at the Registrar’s request.

(ii) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer, exchange, or redemption, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such stamp or transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.2, 2.10, 3.6, 4.10, 4.14 and 9.4 hereto).

(iii) All Global Notes and Certificated Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Certificated Notes shall, upon execution by the Company and authentication by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Certificated Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(iv) [The Registrar shall not be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.2 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part, or (C) to register the transfer of

or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date.](1)

(v) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and neither the Trustee, any Agent nor the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(vi) The Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Certificated Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof. Except as provided in Section 2.6(b) and during the period the Notes are required to bear a Restricted Notes Legend, neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall authenticate or deliver any Certificated Note in exchange for a Global Note.

(vii) Each Holder agrees to provide indemnity satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Xxxxxx’s Note in violation of any provision of this Indenture and/or applicable United States federal or state securities law.

(viii) 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 Agent Members 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 on their face with the express requirements hereof.

SECTION 2.7 Replacement Notes.

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Issuer and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge a Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note. In the event any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may pay such Note instead of issuing a new Note in replacement thereof. The provisions of this Section 2.7 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

(1) NTD: To be confirmed.

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

SECTION 2.8 Outstanding Notes.

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.8 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.9 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser.

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.1 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

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

SECTION 2.9 Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of the Notes have concurred in any direction or consent, the Notes owned by the Issuer or by any Guarantor, or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with any such Issuer or Guarantor, shall be disregarded, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction or consent, only Notes which the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Notes that are to be acquired by the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer pursuant to an exchange offer, tender offer or other agreement shall not be deemed to be owned by such entity until legal title to such Notes passes to such entity.

SECTION 2.10 Temporary Notes.

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

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

SECTION 2.11 Cancellation.

The Issuer at any time may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder or which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee upon receipt of an Issuer Order. All Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, shall be delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation. Subject to Section 2.7 hereof, the Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that they have redeemed or paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with its customary practice, and certification of their disposal delivered to the Issuer, unless by a written Issuer Order, the Issuer shall direct that cancelled Notes be returned to it.

SECTION 2.12 Defaulted Interest.

If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be at the earliest practicable date but in all events at least five (5) Business Days prior to the payment date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.1 hereof. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date and shall promptly thereafter notify the Trustee in writing of any such date. At least fifteen (15) days before the special record date, the Issuer (or the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

SECTION 2.13 [Reserved].

SECTION 2.14 Computation of Interest.

Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

SECTION 2.15 CUSIP Number.

The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use a “CUSIP” and/or ISIN or other similar number, and if it does so, the Issuer may use the CUSIP and/or ISIN or other similar number in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP and/or ISIN or other similar number printed in the notice or on the Notes and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP and/or ISIN or other similar number.

Unless and until the Restricted Notes Legend is no longer required pursuant to Section 2.6(e), the following provisions shall apply:

(a) Transfers to QIBs. The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a Transfer Restricted Note (other than pursuant to Regulation S) to a QIB:

(ii) If the proposed transferee is an Agent Member and the Transfer Restricted Note to be transferred consists of an interest in the Regulation S Global Note or the IAI Global Note, upon receipt by the Registrar of (x) the items required by paragraph (i) above and (y) instructions given in accordance with the Depositary’s and the Registrar’s procedures therefor, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the QIB Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note or IAI Global Note to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an appropriate decrease in the principal amount of such Regulation S Global Note or IAI Global Note.

(b) Transfers Pursuant to Regulation S. The following provisions shall apply with respect to registration of any proposed transfer of a Transfer Restricted Note pursuant to Regulation S:

None of the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee will have any responsibility for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to this Section 2.16. The Issuer shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable notice to the Registrar.

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

SECTION 3.1 Notices to Trustee.

If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.7 hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least thirty (30) days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee) but not more than 60 days before a date fixed for redemption (the “redemption date”), an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (i) the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the Redemption Price.

SECTION 3.2 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed among the Holders in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis (and in a manner that complies with applicable legal requirements and, as applicable the procedures of the Depositary); provided that no Notes of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part (or, after any PIK Payment has been made, denominations of $1.00 or less). If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. On and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions (equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal of the Notes that have denominations larger than $2,000 (or, after any PIK Payment has been made, denominations of $1.00 or larger). The Trustee shall not have any responsibility for actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

SECTION 3.3 Notice of Redemption.

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.9, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Issuer shall mail or cause to be mailed by first class mail, or delivered electronically if held by DTC (with a copy to the Trustee), a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed or sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is mailed in connection with a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:

(1) the redemption date (which may be subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions);

(2) the Redemption Price;

(3) any conditions to redemption;

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

(5) the name, telephone number and address of the Paying Agent;

(6) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price;

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

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

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

(10) if fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular Notes (or portion thereof) to be redeemed, as well as the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be outstanding after such partial redemption.

At the Issuer’s written request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense; provided, however, that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the date on which the Issuer requests the Trustee to give such notice of redemption (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in the notices as provided in the preceding paragraph. The notice mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not a Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note shall not affect the validity of the proceeding for the redemption of any other Note.

SECTION 3.4 Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date at the Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, such date. Notices of redemption may be subject to one or more conditions specified in the notice of redemption. If any such condition precedent has not been satisfied, the Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee and the Holders prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the redemption date. Upon receipt of such notice, the notice of redemption shall be rescinded and the redemption of the Notes shall not occur.

SECTION 3.5 Deposit of Redemption of Purchase Price.

(a) On or before [10:00] a.m. (New York City time) on each redemption date or the date on which Notes must be accepted for purchase pursuant to Section 4.10, or 4.14, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the Redemption Price of (including any Applicable Premium), and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

(b) If Notes called for redemption are paid or if the Issuer has deposited with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price, and unpaid and accrued interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed, on and after the redemption date, interest, if any, shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portion of the Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after a record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Notes were registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case, at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.1 hereof.

SECTION 3.6 Notes Redeemed in Part.

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

SECTION 3.7 Optional Redemption.

(a) The Notes are subject to redemption, at the option of the Issuer, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time on or after December 15, 2020, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date).

such redemption occurs within 120 days following the closing of any such Qualified Equity Offering; provided further that the Company may not redeem any other indebtedness pursuant to a similar “equity claw” provision applicable thereto in connection with the receipt of cash proceeds from one or more Qualified Equity Offerings to the extent it redeems Notes in connection with such offerings.

(c) At any time or from time to time prior to December 15, 2020, the Company may also, at its option, on any one or more occasions, redeem all or any portion of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date).

(d) The Issuer may at any time, and from time to time, acquire Notes by means other than a redemption whether pursuant to an issuer tender offer, open market purchase or negotiated transaction so long as the acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of this Indenture.

(e) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.1 through 3.6 hereof.

SECTION 3.8 Mandatory Redemption.

Except as set forth under Sections 4.10 and 4.14 hereof, the Issuer shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

SECTION 3.9 Offer to Purchase.

In the event that the Issuer shall be required to commence an Offer to Purchase pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control, the Issuer shall follow the procedures specified below.

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, an Offer to Purchase shall specify an Expiration Date of the Offer to Purchase, which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, not less than 30 days or more than 60 days after the date of mailing of such Offer, and a Purchase Date for purchase of Notes within five Business Days after the Expiration Date. On the Purchase Date, the Company shall purchase the aggregate principal amount of Notes required to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.10 or Section 4.14 hereof (the “Offer Amount”), or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered in response to the Offer to Purchase. If the Purchase Date is on or after the interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest, if any, shall be payable to the Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Offer to Purchase. The Company shall notify the Trustee at least five Business Days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the mailing of the Offer of the Company’s obligation to make an Offer to Purchase, and the Offer shall be mailed by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.

SECTION 4.1 Payment of Notes.

(a) The Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, or issue PIK Notes, on the dates and in the manner provided herein and in the Notes.

SECTION 4.2 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee or Registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. The Issuer hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Issuer in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

SECTION 4.3 Provision of Financial Information.

Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the Commission, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will furnish without cost to each Holder of Notes and to the Trustee, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations that would then be applicable to the Company if the Company were then subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act:

(1) all quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company was required to file such reports; and

(2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form 8-K if the Company was required to file such reports.

All such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with the rules and regulations applicable to such reports. Each annual report on Form 10-K will include a report on the consolidated financial statements of the Company by the certified independent accountants of the Company.

In addition, if at any time any direct or indirect parent becomes a Guarantor (there being no obligation of any such parent to do so), such entity holds no material assets other than cash,

cash equivalents and the Capital Interests of the Company or any other direct or indirect parent of the Company (and performs the related incidental activities associated with such ownership) and would comply with the requirements of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Commission (or any successor provision), the reports, information and other documents required to be furnished to Holders of the Notes pursuant to this covenant may, at the option of the Company, be furnished by and be those of such parent rather than the Company.

If the Company files the documents and reports required under this Section 4.3 with the Commission and such documents and reports are publicly available on the Commission’s Electronic Data-Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system (or any successor system), such document or report shall be deemed delivered to each Holder of the Notes and the Trustee for the purposes of this Section 4.3.

Any and all Defaults or Events of Default arising from a failure to furnish or file in a timely manner a report or certification required by this covenant shall be deemed cured (and the Company shall be deemed to be in compliance with this covenant) upon furnishing or filing such report or certification as contemplated by this Section 4.3 (but without regard to the date on which such report or certification is so furnished or filed); provided that such cure shall not otherwise affect the rights of Holders under Article VI if the principal, premium, if any, and interest have been accelerated in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such acceleration has not been rescinded or cancelled prior to such cure.

In addition, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will furnish to the Holders of Notes and to prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

SECTION 4.4 Compliance Certificate.

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries during such fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled their obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that, to his or her knowledge, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto).

The Company shall, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

SECTION 4.5 Taxes.

The Company shall pay, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency all material taxes, assessments and governmental levies, except such as are

contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which appropriate reserves have been taken if so required in accordance with GAAP or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

SECTION 4.6 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) 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, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not, by resort to any such law, 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 has been enacted.

SECTION 4.7 Limitation on Restricted Payments.

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted Payment unless, at the time of such Restricted Payment:

(a) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or will occur as a consequence thereof;

(b) after giving effect to such Restricted Payment on a pro forma basis, the Company’s Consolidated Total Debt Ratio would be less than or equal to 3.75 to 1.0; and

(c) after giving effect to such Restricted Payment on a pro forma basis, the aggregate amount expended or declared for all Restricted Payments made on or after the Issue Date (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (ii) through (xii) of the next succeeding paragraph), shall not exceed the sum (without duplication) of:

(1) 100% of the Consolidated Cash Flow (or if Consolidated Cash Flow shall be a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit) of the Company accrued on a cumulative basis during the period (taken as one accounting period) from [April 1, 2019] to the end of the Company’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment less the product of 2.0 times the Company’s Consolidated Interest Expense for the same period, plus

(2) 100% of the aggregate net proceeds (including the Fair Market Value of property other than cash) received by the Company subsequent to the Issue Date either (i) as a contribution to its common equity capital or (ii) from the issuance and sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary) of its Qualified Capital Interests, including Qualified Capital Interests issued upon the conversion of Debt or Redeemable Capital Interests of the Company, and from the exercise of options, warrants or other rights to purchase such Qualified Capital Interests (other than, in each case, Capital Interests or Debt sold to a Subsidiary of the Company), plus

(3) 100% of the amount by which Debt of the Company is reduced on the Company’s balance sheet upon the cancellation, conversion or exchange (other than by a Subsidiary of the Company) subsequent to the Issue Date of any Debt of the Company for Qualified Capital Interests of the Company or contributed to the Qualified Capital Interests or common equity of the Company (less the amount of any cash, or the fair value of any other property, distributed by the Company upon such cancellation, conversion or exchange), plus

(4) 100% of the net reduction in Investments (other than Permitted Investments), subsequent to the Issue Date, in any Person, resulting from (x) payments of interest on Debt, dividends, distributions, redemptions, repurchases, repayments of loans or advances or other transfers of assets (but only to the extent such interest, dividends, distributions, redemptions, repurchases, repayments or other transfers were made in cash), in each case to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from any Person (including, without limitation, an Unrestricted Subsidiary), (y) the sale or other disposition (other than to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) thereof made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries or (z) the redesignation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary, in each case, not to exceed in the case of any Person the amount of Investments (other than Permitted Investments) previously made by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Person.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may take the following actions; provided that, in the case of clauses (iv), (ix) or (x) below immediately after giving effect to such action, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing:

(v) repurchase, redemptions or other acquisitions or retirements for value of Capital Interests of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options, warrants or other convertible or exchangeable securities to the extent such Capital Interest represent a portion of the exercise price of those stock options, warrants or other convertible or exchangeable securities;

(x) the payment of other Restricted Payments to Parent to (a) pay reasonable and customary corporate and operating expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for legal, administrative and accounting services provided by third parties, and compensation, benefits and other amounts payable to officers and employees in connection with their employment in the ordinary course of business and to board of director observers) in an amount per year not to exceed $6.0 million and (b) pay interest on the Parent Convertible Notes (or any notes or Debt instruments (other than the Notes)

exchanged for the Parent Convertible Notes) in an amount per year not to exceed $4.0 million; provided, that dollar the limitations in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) for any year shall be proportionately reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by an amount equal to (i) any principal payments made or expected to be made (but not interest payments which may continue to be made in the ordinary course of business) in respect of the Ascent Intercompany Loan in such year, except that no such reduction shall be required in respect of a Permitted Distribution of Insurance Proceeds; and (ii) the cash interest payable in respect of any Supplemental Second Lien Notes; provided, further, that (i) to the extent that the cash amount of interest payable on the Parent Convertible Notes is reduced, the dollar limitation in clause (b) shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by a corresponding amount; and (ii) any cash transferred from the Company to the Parent pursuant to this clause (x) that is not used for the purposes specified in clauses (a) and/or (b) of this clause (x) within 18 months of the distribution thereof shall be promptly returned to the Company;

(xii) any distribution of the Parent Convertible Notes from the Company to the Parent solely for the purpose of permitting Parent to cancel such Parent Convertible Notes.

For purposes of this Section 4.7, if any Investment or Restricted Payment would be permitted pursuant to one or more provisions described above and/or one or more of the exceptions contained in the definition of “Permitted Investments,” the Company in its sole discretion may classify and divide, and from time to time may redivide and reclassify, such Investment or Restricted Payment in any manner that complies with this Section 4.7 (provided that at the time of reclassification or redivision the Investment or Restricted Payment (as so reclassified) would be permitted to be made in reliance on the applicable exception).

If any Person in which an Investment is made, which Investment constitutes a Restricted Payment when made, thereafter becomes a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with this Indenture, all such Investments previously made in such Person shall be deemed Permitted Investments and shall no longer be counted as Restricted Payments for purposes of calculating

the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments pursuant to clause (c) of the first paragraph under this Section 4.7 to the extent such Investments would otherwise be so counted.

If the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary transfers, conveys, sells, leases or otherwise disposes of an Investment in accordance with Section 4.10, which Investment was originally included in the aggregate amount expended or declared for all Restricted Payments pursuant to clause (c) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.7, the aggregate amount expended or declared for all Restricted Payments shall be reduced by the lesser of (i) the Net Cash Proceeds from the transfer, conveyance, sale, lease or other disposition of such Investment or (ii) the amount of the original Investment, in each case, to the extent originally included in the aggregate amount expended or declared for all Restricted Payments pursuant to clause (c) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.7.

For purposes of this Section 4.7, if a particular Restricted Payment involves a non-cash payment, including a distribution of assets, then such Restricted Payment shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the cash portion of such Restricted Payment, if any, plus an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the non-cash portion of such Restricted Payment.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, to, directly or indirectly, make any payment to or on account of, or purchase or redeem, or make any distribution or dividend to Parent to permit Parent to make any payment to or on account of, purchase or redeem the Parent Convertible Notes other than (i) an Investment in the Parent Convertible Notes made with Additional Notes (or the proceeds of the issuance of Additional Notes) permitted pursuant to clause (iv) of the definition of “Permitted Debt,” (ii) pursuant to a Permitted Distribution of Insurance Proceeds or (iii) any Restricted Payment made pursuant to clause (x) of the second paragraph of this Section 4.7.

SECTION 4.8 Limitation on Dividends and Other Payments Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, cause or suffer to exist or become effective or enter into any encumbrance or restriction (other than pursuant to this Indenture, law, rules or regulations) on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Interests owned by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or pay any Debt or other obligation owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, (ii) make loans or advances to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof or (iii) transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or any Guarantor.

However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to the following encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(a) any encumbrance or restriction in existence on the Issue Date, including those required by any Credit Facility in existence on the Issue Date or any future Debt incurred in compliance with any such Credit Facility (so long as such restrictions are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than any such Credit Facility) and any

amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof; provided that the amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings, in the good faith judgment of the Company, are no more materially restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend or other payment restrictions than those contained in these agreements on the Issue Date or refinancings thereof;

(b) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement relating to an acquisition of securities or property, so long as the encumbrances or restrictions in any such agreement relate solely to the securities or property so acquired (and are not or were not created in anticipation of or in connection with the acquisition thereof);

(c) any encumbrance or restriction which exists with respect to a Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or merges with a Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date, which is in existence at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, but not created in connection with or in anticipation of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary, and which is not applicable to any Person or the property or assets of any Person other than such Person or the property or assets of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary;

(d) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement effecting a permitted renewal, refunding, replacement, refinancing or extension of Debt issued pursuant to an agreement containing any encumbrance or restriction referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (c), so long as the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such refinancing agreement are, in the good faith judgment of the Company, no more materially restrictive, taken as a whole, than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the agreements governing the Debt being renewed, refunded, replaced, Refinanced or extended;

(e) customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of any lease, contract, or license of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or provisions in agreements that restrict the assignment of such agreement or any rights thereunder;

(f) any restriction on the sale or other disposition of assets or property securing Debt as a result of a Permitted Lien on such assets or property;

(g) any encumbrance or restriction by reason of applicable law, rule, regulation or order;

(h) any encumbrance or restriction under the Note Documents;

(i) restrictions on cash and other deposits or net worth imposed by customers or suppliers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(j) provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, limited liability company agreements, partnership agreements, shareholder agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements;

(k) any instrument governing any Debt or Capital Interests of a Person acquired by the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Debt or Capital Interests were incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired;

(l) Liens securing Debt otherwise permitted to be Incurred under this Indenture, including pursuant to Section 4.12, that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

(m) customary provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements otherwise permitted by this Indenture, which limitation is applicable only to the assets (including Capital Interests of Subsidiaries) that are the subject of such agreements; and

(n) restrictions in financings that are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than customary provisions in comparable financings and, as determined by management of the Company in its reasonable and good faith judgment, will not materially impair the Company’s ability to make payments required under the Notes.

SECTION 4.9 Limitation on Incurrence of Debt.

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, Incur any Debt; provided that the Company or any Guarantor may Incur additional Debt if, immediately after giving pro forma effect to the Incurrence of such Debt and the receipt and application of the proceeds therefrom, (a) the Consolidated Total Debt Ratio would be less than or equal to 4.75 to 1.0 and (b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time or as a consequence of the Incurrence of such Debt.

Notwithstanding the first paragraph above, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur Permitted Debt.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.9, (x)(a) Debt Incurred under the Credit Agreement that is a revolving credit facility (and any replacement or refinancing thereof) shall be treated as Incurred pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of “Permitted Debt” and may not later be reclassified and (b) Debt Incurred under the Credit Agreement (other than Debt that is a revolving credit facility referred to in clause (x)) (and any replacement or refinancing thereof) shall be treated as Incurred pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition of “Permitted Debt” and may not later be reclassified and (y) the outstanding principal amount of any Debt shall be counted only once such that (without limitation) any obligation arising under any Guarantees or obligations with respect to letters of credit supporting Debt otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount shall not be included. For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, except as provided above, in the event that an item of Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Debt described in the definition of “Permitted Debt” or Debt Incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 4.9, the

Company, in its sole discretion, may classify and divide, and from time to time may redivide and reclassify, all or any portion of such item of Debt in more than one of the types of Debt described (provided that at the time of reclassification or redivision such Debt meets the criteria in such category or categories).

The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest on Debt in the forms of additional Debt (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the issuance of PIK Notes) or payment of dividends on Redeemable Capital Interests in the forms of additional shares of Redeemable Capital Interests with the same terms and any changes in the amount outstanding due solely to the result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Debt or issuance of Redeemable Capital Interests for purposes of this Section 4.9.

The Company will not and will not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Debt that is by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Debt) subordinated in right of payment to any other Debt of the Company or of such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Debt is also by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Debt) made expressly subordinate in right of payment to the Notes or the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor, to the same extent and in the same manner as such Debt is subordinated to such other Debt of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be. The Company will not, and will not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Debt that is secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is junior to any Lien securing other Debt of the Company or of such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Lien is also made junior to the Lien on the Collateral securing the Notes or the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor; provided, that the Company may incur Additional Notes and related guaranties and Refinancing Debt in respect of such Additional Notes and Notes and related guarantees, in each case, secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is pari passu with the Lien securing the Notes pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement.

For purposes of the foregoing, no Debt will be deemed to be subordinated in right of payment to any other Debt of the Company or any Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured or secured by a Permitted Lien or by virtue of the fact that the holders of such Debt have entered into intercreditor agreements or other arrangements giving one or more of such holders priority over the other holders in the collateral held by them or other payments among them.

SECTION 4.10 Limitation on Asset Sales.

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(1) the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Capital Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(2) at least 75% of the total consideration received in such Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Eligible Cash

Equivalents. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

(a) any liabilities, as shown on the most recent consolidated balance sheet of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities or liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed or forgiven by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a novation, indemnity, assignment and assumption or other agreement that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability;

(b) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 365 days of their receipt to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; and

(3) in the case of an Asset Sale of Collateral, and pending further application as described below, the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, deposits the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof as Collateral in one or more accounts (each a “Collateral Proceeds Account”) held by, or under the control of (for purposes of the UCC), the Notes Collateral Agent or its agent to secure the Notes pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent; provided that no such deposit will be required unless the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds from all Asset Sales of Collateral that are not held in a Collateral Proceeds Account exceeds $5.0 million.

Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply such Net Cash Proceeds at its option:

(1) to repay Debt under the Credit Agreement or any Notes; provided that in the case of any such repayment under the Credit Agreement, the Company effects a permanent reduction in the availability or commitments thereunder;

(2) to acquire assets constituting, or any Capital Interests of, a Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Interests, such assets are owned by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or the Person owning such Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;

(3) to acquire alarm monitoring accounts or agreements;

(4) to make a capital expenditure in or that is used or useful in a Permitted Business or to make expenditures for maintenance, repair or improvement of existing properties and assets in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture;

(5) to acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business; or

(6) any combination of the foregoing;

provided, that if such Asset Sale was in respect of Collateral, the assets or property in which the Net Cash Proceeds are invested pursuant to the foregoing clauses (2), (3), (5) or (6) (to the extent an investment in one of the foregoing) above shall be Collateral; provided, further, that if during such 365-day period the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary enters into a definitive agreement committing it to apply such Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with the requirements of clause (2), (3), (4) or (5), or any combination thereof, of this paragraph, such 365-day period will be extended up to an additional 180 days with respect to the amount of Net Cash Proceeds so committed. Pending the final application of any Net Cash Proceeds, other than from the sale of Collateral, the Company may temporarily reduce borrowings under the Credit Agreement or otherwise invest such amount in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

Subject to the next succeeding paragraph, any Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraph of this Section 4.10 will constitute “Excess Proceeds.”

When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million (it being understood that the Company may, in its sole discretion, make an Asset Sale Offer pursuant to this Section 4.10 prior to the time that the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million), the Company will within 30 days of reaching such threshold make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes and, if required by the terms of other Debt secured by a Lien ranking pari passu with the Liens securing the Notes, to all holders of such other Debt, in each case equal to the Excess Proceeds. The offer price for any Notes in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture and such remaining amount shall not be added to any subsequent Excess Proceeds for any purpose under this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other Debt secured by a Lien ranking pari passu with the Lien securing the Notes tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Excess Proceeds will be allocated between the Notes and such other pari passu Debt pro rata in proportion to the respective principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Debt tendered. The Trustee will select the tendered Notes in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not then listed on a national securities exchange, by lot, pro rata among all the Notes tendered or by any other method the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (subject to The Depository Trust Company’s procedures, as applicable). Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance. The provisions of Section 3.9 shall apply to any Asset Sale Offer.

SECTION 4.11 Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.

The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $5.0 million, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into any contract, agreement, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:

(i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could reasonably be expected to have been obtained in a comparable arm’s length transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unaffiliated party;

(ii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $10.0 million, the Company delivers to the Trustee a resolution adopted by the majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) above; and

(iii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $50.0 million, the Company must obtain and deliver to the Trustee a written opinion of a nationally recognized investment banking, accounting or appraisal firm (an “Independent Financial Advisor”) stating that the transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point of view.

The foregoing limitations do not limit, and shall not apply to:

(1) Restricted Payments that are permitted pursuant to Section 4.7 and any Permitted Investments that are permitted by this Indenture and transactions permitted by, and complying with, Section 5.1;

(2) the payment (and any agreement, plan or arrangement relating thereto) of reasonable compensation and other benefits (including retirement, health, option, deferred compensation and other benefit plans) and indemnification and insurance arrangements to members of the Board of Directors of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary;

(3) the payment (and any agreement, plan or arrangement relating thereto) of reasonable compensation and other benefits (including retirement, health, option, deferred compensation and other benefit plans) and indemnification and insurance arrangements to officers, employees and consultants of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary;

(4) transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(5) any transaction with an Affiliate in which the only consideration paid by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is Qualified Capital Interests of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or any issuance of Qualified Capital Interests by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary;

(6) any agreement or arrangement (other than agreements or arrangements permitted by clause (10) of the second paragraph of this Section 4.11) as in effect on the Issue Date and any amendment, extension or modification thereto so long as such amendment, extension or modification is not more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes in any material respect;

(7) transactions in which the Company delivers to the Trustee a written opinion from an Independent Financial Advisor, accounting or appraisal firm to the effect that the transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company and any relevant Restricted Subsidiaries;

(8) any contribution of capital to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary;

(9) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case, on terms that (taken as a whole) are not materially less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, as determined in good faith by the Company, than those that could reasonably be expected to be obtained in a comparable arm’s length transaction with an unaffiliated party; or

(10) payments by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary made pursuant to management/consulting agreements in existence on the Issue Date that are described in the Offering Memorandum, and the performance of the obligations of the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary as required or permitted by the terms of such agreements; provided, however, that the performance by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations under any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Issue Date shall only be permitted by this clause (10) to the extent that the terms (taken as a whole) of any such amendment or new agreement are not otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes.

SECTION 4.12 Limitation on Liens.

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind other than Permitted Liens, on or with respect to any property or assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company now owned or hereafter acquired.

SECTION 4.13 Limitation on Cash Prepayments of Existing Unsecured Notes.

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any cash payment to redeem, repurchase, defease (including a covenant or legal defeasance or discharge) or otherwise acquire or retire for cash (including pursuant to mandatory repurchase covenants or in connection with any refinancing) any Existing Unsecured

Notes; provided, that immediately prior to (or on) (i) the date that is 181 days prior to the scheduled maturity date of the Existing Unsecured Notes or (ii) the scheduled maturity date of the Existing Unsecured Notes, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may redeem, repurchase, defease (including a covenant or legal defeasance or discharge) or otherwise acquire or retire the Existing Unsecured Notes for cash with an amount of cash not to exceed $30.0 million.

SECTION 4.14 Offer to Purchase upon Change of Control.

If a Change of Control occurs, unless the Issuer has exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes as described under Section 3.7, the Issuer will make an Offer to Purchase all of the outstanding Notes at a Purchase Price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount tendered, together with accrued interest, if any, to but not including the Purchase Date (the “Change of Control Payment”). For purposes of the foregoing, an Offer to Purchase shall be deemed to have been made under this Section 4.14 if (i) within 30 days following the date of the consummation of a transaction or series of transactions that constitutes a Change of Control, or, at our option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control, the Issuer or a third party (including for this purpose any Affiliate of the Issuer) commences an Offer to Purchase all of the outstanding Notes at the Purchase Price and (ii) all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer to Purchase are purchased on the terms of such Offer to Purchase.

On the Purchase Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful, (a) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, (b) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered and (c) otherwise comply with Section 3.9.

The Issuer shall not be required to make an Offer to Purchase upon a Change of Control if (i) a third party makes the Offer to Purchase in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth herein applicable to an Offer to Purchase made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to such Offer to Purchase or (ii) a notice of redemption for all outstanding Notes has been given by the Issuer pursuant to Section 3.7(a).

In the event that Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes accept an Offer to Purchase or other tender offer to purchase all of the Notes and the Company (or any third party making such Offer to Purchase or other tender offer to purchase all of the Notes in lieu of the Company as described above) purchases all of the Notes held by such Holders, the Company will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the purchase pursuant to the Offer to Purchase or other tender offer to purchase all of the Notes described above, to redeem all of the Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the price offered to each other Holder in the Offer to Purchase or other tender offer, plus, to the extent not included in the Offer to Purchase or other tender offer, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes that remain outstanding, to, but excluding, the date of redemption (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the redemption date).

To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer will comply with Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws and regulations and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of such compliance.

In addition, an Offer to Purchase may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making the Offer to Purchase.

SECTION 4.15 Maintenance of Properties and Corporate Existence.

Except as otherwise permitted by Section 4.10, Section 4.14 or Article V hereof, the Company shall make all reasonable efforts to cause all material properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any of the Guarantors to be maintained and kept in good operating condition, repair and working order (ordinary wear and tear and casualty loss excepted) and supplied with all necessary equipment and shall cause to be made all repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto as in the judgment of the Issuer are reasonably necessary in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and its Guarantors; provided, that the Company shall not be obligated to make such repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements if the failure to do so would not result in a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company and the Guarantors taken as a whole.

Subject to Sections 4.7, 4.10 and 4.14 and Article V hereof, as the case may be, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Subsidiary and the material rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if the loss thereof would not result in a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company and the Guarantors taken as a whole.

SECTION 4.16 Limitation on Distribution of Certain Insurance Proceeds.

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, distribute to the Parent any proceeds received in connection with that certain anticipated insurance reimbursement in an estimated amount of $9,700,000 (the “Insurance Proceeds”), except (a) in connection with a settlement of that certain action pending in the Delaware Chancery Court captioned KLS Diversified Master Fund, X.X. x. Xxxxxxxxxx, et al., (Case No. 2018-0636), which settlement either satisfies all or a portion of the Parent Convertible Notes or extends the maturity date of all or a portion the Parent Convertible Notes to a date at least 91 days after the maturity date of the Notes (the “Settlement”) or (b) as part of an exchange or other similar transaction in lieu of a Settlement that either refinances, repays, redeems or repurchases all or a portion of the Parent Convertible Notes and/or extends the maturity date of the Parent Convertible Notes to a date at least 91 days after the maturity date of the Notes; provided that any such distribution from

the Company to the Parent shall be made solely in the form of repayment in full satisfaction of the Ascent Intercompany Loan (any such distribution permitted hereby being referred to as, a “Permitted Distribution of Insurance Proceeds”).

SECTION 4.17 Limitation on Business Activities.

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than a Permitted Business, except to the extent as would not be material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company).

SECTION 4.18 Additional Note Guarantees.

On the Issue Date, each of the Guarantors will guarantee the Notes in the manner and on the terms set forth in Section 12.1 of this Indenture.

(x) the Subsidiary to be so designated has total assets of $1,000 or less; or

(y) immediately after giving effect to such designation, the Company could Incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt (other than Permitted Debt) pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 4.9 and (ii) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary would be permitted to make a Restricted Payment (other than a Permitted Investment) in an amount equal to the greater of the Fair Market Value or book value of such Subsidiary pursuant

to Section 4.7 and such amount is thereafter treated as a Restricted Payment for the purpose of calculating the amount available in connection with Section 4.7.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to conduct any material business or operations or hold any assets or property that is or are, individually or in the aggregate, material.

An Unrestricted Subsidiary may be designated as a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company if (i) all the Debt of such Unrestricted Subsidiary could be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.9 and (ii) all the Liens on the property and assets of such Unrestricted Subsidiary could be incurred pursuant to Section 4.12.

SECTION 4.21 No Impairment of Security Interests.

Subject to the rights of the holders of Permitted Liens, neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is permitted to take any action, or knowingly or negligently omit to take any action, which action or omission would or could reasonably be expected to have the result of materially impairing the security interest with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of the Notes Collateral Agent, the Trustee and Holders.

SECTION 4.22 Further Assurances.

The Company and the Guarantors shall execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all further action that may be required under applicable law, or that the Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent may reasonably request (including the filing of UCC continuation statements and amendments), in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the security interests created or intended to be created by the Security Documents in the Collateral. In addition, from time to time, the Company and each Guarantor will reasonably promptly secure the obligations under this Indenture and the Security Documents by pledging or creating, or causing to be pledged or created, perfected security interests with respect to the Collateral. Such security interests and Xxxxx will be created under the Security Documents and other security agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust and other instruments and documents in form and substance necessary to pledge, secure or create a perfected security interest with respect to the Collateral. Neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent shall have any duty to create, perfect, file and/or record any security interest or Lien or to file any UCCs, UCC financing statements or UCC continuation statements or incur any expense related thereto.

SECTION 4.23 Certain After-Acquired Property.

Company’s expense, furnish to the Notes Collateral Agent any Collateral and Security Documents required to be furnished to the Credit Agreement Administrative Agent or Credit Agreement Collateral Agent.

Each of the foregoing deadlines in this Section 4.22 shall be automatically extended to the extent the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent (or administrative agent thereunder) extends any such same deadline under the Credit Agreement. If granting a security interest in such property requires the consent of a third party, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent with respect to the security interest for the benefit of the Notes Collateral Agent on behalf of the Trustee and the holders of the Notes (and other Second Priority Obligations if required thereby).

Upon any transaction or series of transactions that are of the type described in, and are effected in accordance with, the conditions described in the immediately preceding paragraphs, the Surviving Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company, under this Indenture with the same effect as if such Surviving Entity had been named as the Company therein; and when a Surviving Entity duly assumes all of the obligations and covenants of the Company pursuant to this Indenture and the Notes, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Person shall be relieved of all such obligations.

(7) the entry against the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) of a final judgment or final judgments (following the exhaustion of all available appeal processes pending which such final judgment or final judgments are stayed) for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess of $25.0 million (to the extent not covered by insurance or indemnity), by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction, which judgments remain undischarged, unwaived, unstayed, unbonded or unsatisfied for a period of 60 consecutive days;

(9) The occurrence of any of the following:

(a) except as permitted by the Security Documents, any Security Document establishing the Liens securing the Notes Obligations ceases for any reason to be enforceable; provided that it will not be an Event of Default under this clause (9)(a) if the sole result of the failure of one or more Security Documents to be fully enforceable is that any Lien securing the Second Priority Obligations purported to be granted under such Security Documents on Collateral, individually or in the aggregate, having a Fair Market Value of not more than $1.0 million, ceases to be an enforceable and perfected Lien;

(b) except as permitted by the Security Documents, any Lien securing any Notes Obligations purported to be granted under any Note Document on Collateral, in the aggregate, having a Fair Market Value in excess of $1.0 million, ceases to be an enforceable and perfected first priority Lien, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and Permitted Liens; and

The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default and shall not have any duty or responsibility in respect thereof unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received written notice of such Default or Event of Default or has actual knowledge of such Default or Event of Default. Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under Section 4.3 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing 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 or the existence of a Default or Event of Default (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates, except as otherwise provided herein).

SECTION 6.2 Acceleration.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (8) of Section 6.1 with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal of the Notes and any accrued interest on the Notes to be due and payable immediately by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders); provided, however, that after such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind and annul such acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal of or interest on the Notes, have been cured or waived as provided in this Indenture.

In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes solely because an Event of Default described in clause (6) of Section 6.1 has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the Event of Default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (6) of Section 6.1 shall be remedied or cured by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or waived by the holders of the relevant Debt within 30 Business Days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if the rescission and annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Trustee for the payment of amounts due on the Notes.

If an Event of Default specified in clause (8) of Section 6.1 occurs with respect to the Company, the principal of and accrued interest, if any, on the Notes then outstanding shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

If the Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their maturity date for any reason (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law), in each case, as a result of an Event of Default, the amount of principal of, accrued and unpaid interest and premium on the Notes that becomes due and payable shall equal the redemption price applicable with respect to an optional redemption of the Notes, in effect on the date of such acceleration as if such acceleration were an optional redemption.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if the Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their maturity date, in each case, in respect of any Event of Default (including, but not limited to, upon the occurrence of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law) or pursuant to a plan of reorganization), the premium (including, without limitation, the Applicable Premium) applicable with respect to an optional redemption of the Notes will automatically and immediately be due and payable as though the Notes were optionally redeemed and such premium shall constitute part of the Obligations hereunder, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Holder’s lost profits as a result thereof. Any premium payable above constitutes liquidated damages (and not unmatured interest or a penalty) sustained by each Holder as the result of the acceleration and the Company agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The premium shall also be payable in the event the Notes (and/or this Indenture) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Company expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (1) the premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (2) the premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then-prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (3) there has been a course of conduct between Holders and the Company giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the premium; and (4) the Company shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. The Company expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the premium to Holders as herein described is a material inducement to Holders to purchase the Notes.

SECTION 6.3 Other Remedies.

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

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

SECTION 6.4 Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture (including acceleration) except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium on, or the principal of, the Notes (other than as a result of an acceleration), which shall require the written consent of all of the Holders of the Notes then outstanding.

SECTION 6.5 Control by Majority.

Subject to Section 6.6, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust power conferred on it. However, (i) the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, and (ii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

SECTION 6.6 Limitation on Suits.

A Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if:

(a) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default or the Trustee receives such notice from the Company;

(b) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(c) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of such indemnity or security; and

(e) during such 60-day period the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

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

SECTION 6.7 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an Offer to Purchase), or to bring suit for the

enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 6.8 Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount of principal of, premium and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and premium and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

SECTION 6.9 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other securities or property payable or deliverable upon the conversion or exchange of the Notes or on any such claims and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 6.10 Priorities.

Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article VI and any money or other property distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture after an Event of Default shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

First: to the Trustee its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.7 hereof, including payment of all reasonable compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

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

Third: to the Issuer or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

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

SECTION 6.11 Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

SECTION 7.1 Duties of Trustee.

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

SECTION 7.6 Reports By Trustee to Holders of the Notes.

Beginning on the first anniversary of the Issue Date and on every anniversary of the Issue Date thereafter for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c).

SECTION 7.7 Compensation and Indemnity.

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

The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent (in each case, which for purposes of this Section 7.7 shall include its officers, directors, stockholders, employees and agents) against any and all claims, damage, losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture or the Security Documents, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture or the Security Documents against the Issuer (including this Section 7.7) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder except to the extent any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense may be attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall cooperate in the defense, unless the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the Issuer and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, on the other hand, in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, which are different from or additional to those available to the Issuer and the Guarantors, in which case the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall have the right to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action. The Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one such counsel. The Issuer need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

100

The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Section 7.7 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge or termination for any reason of this Indenture or the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent.

In addition, and without prejudice to the rights provided to the Trustee under any of the provisions of this Indenture, when the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(8) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

“Trustee” for the purposes of this Section 7.7 shall include any predecessor Trustee and the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder and each agent, custodian and other person employed to act hereunder; provided, however, that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder.

To secure the Company’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.7, the Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, particular Notes.

SECTION 7.8 Replacement of Trustee.

A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.8.

The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided that all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.7 hereof.

Article VIII

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

SECTION 8.1 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The Issuer may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a Board Resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, at any time, elect to have either Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article VIII.

SECTION 8.2 Legal Defeasance.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.2, the Issuer shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes and the Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “legal defeasance”). For this purpose, legal defeasance means that the Issuer and the Guarantors

104

shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Debt represented by the outstanding Notes and the Guarantees, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.5 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on written demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.4(l); (b) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.10 and 4.2 hereof; (c) the rights, powers, trusts, benefits and immunities of the Trustee, including under Section 7.7 and 8.5 hereof and the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; (d) the Company’s rights pursuant to Section 3.7; and (e) the provisions of this Article VIII. Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.2 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.3 hereof.

SECTION 8.3 Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.3, the Issuer shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18, 4.19, 4.20, 4.21 and 4.22 and 5.1 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance” and, together with legal defeasance, “defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, covenant defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.1 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.3, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, Sections 6.1(3), (4), (5), (6), (7) and (9) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.

SECTION 8.4 Conditions to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof to the outstanding Notes:

In order to exercise either legal defeasance or covenant defeasance:

105

(1) the Issuer must irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments (without consideration of reinvestment), specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to the benefits of the Holders of such Notes: (A) cash in U.S. dollars in an amount, (B) Government Securities or (C) a combination thereof, in each case, sufficient without reinvestment, and in the case of Government Securities, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or an investment bank expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee to pay and discharge, the entire indebtedness in respect of the principal of, and premium, if any, on, and interest on such Notes on the Stated Maturity thereof or (if the Issuer has made irrevocable arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) the redemption date thereof, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Notes (provided that if such redemption is made as provided in Section 3.7(c) of this Indenture, (x) the amount of cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, that may be irrevocably deposited will initially be determined using an assumed Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of such deposit and (y) the depositor must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited additional cash in U.S. dollars in trust on the redemption date as necessary to pay the Applicable Premium as determined by such redemption date);

(2) in the case of legal defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Issuer has 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 United States federal income tax law, in either case (A) or (B) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Notes will not recognize gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to such Notes and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge were not to occur;

(3) in the case of covenant defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such outstanding Notes will not recognize gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and covenant defeasance to be effected with respect to such Notes and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and covenant defeasance were not to occur;

(4) no Default or Event of Default with respect to the outstanding Notes shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit after giving effect thereto (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the

106

borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien to secure such borrowing);

(5) such legal defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or material instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound; and

(6) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such legal defeasance or covenant defeasance have been complied with and such legal or covenant defeasance is permitted by the terms hereof.

The Collateral will be released from Liens securing the Notes as provided under Section 10.4.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by clause (2) above with respect to a legal defeasance need not to be delivered if all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (x) have become due and payable (including by reason of a redemption pursuant to the terms of this Indenture as described under Section 3.7), or (y) will become due and payable at Stated Maturity 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 Company.

SECTION 8.5 Deposited Money and Government Securities to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to Section 8.6 hereof, all money and non-callable U.S. government obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.5, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust, shall not be invested, 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 or any Subsidiary 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 Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable U.S. government obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

Anything in this Article VIII to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the written request of the Issuer and be relieved of all liability with respect to any money or non-callable U.S. government obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.4 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the

107

Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.4(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent legal defeasance or covenant defeasance.

SECTION 8.6 Repayment to Issuer.

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

SECTION 8.7 Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or non-callable U.S. government obligations in accordance with Section 8.2 or 8.3 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 obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.2 or 8.3 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

SECTION 8.8 Discharge.

The Issuer and the Guarantors may terminate the obligations under the Note Documents and the Liens on the Collateral securing the Notes will be released (a “Discharge”) when:

(1) either: (A) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or (B) all such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due and payable (including by reason of a redemption pursuant to the terms of this Indenture as described under Section 3.7) or (ii) will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under irrevocable arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds

108

in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes (without consideration of reinvestment), not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest to the Stated Maturity or date of redemption;

(2) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all other sums then due and payable under this Indenture by the Issuer;

(3) the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other material instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound;

(4) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be; and

(5) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, each stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the Discharge have been complied with.

The Issuer may elect, at its option, to have its obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding Notes. Such [legal defeasance/discharge] means that the Issuer will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, except for:

(1) the rights of Holders of such Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of and premium, if any, on, and interest on such Notes when payments are due;

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

(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee;

With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental to this Indenture (together with the other consents required thereby) and may amend the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, including the definitions herein; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture, modification or amendment shall, without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected thereby:

(1) change the Stated Maturity of any Note or of any installment of interest on any Note, or reduce the amount payable in respect of the principal thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium payable thereon, or reduce the amount that would be due and payable on acceleration of the maturity thereof, or change, or the coin or currency in which, any Note or any premium or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof, or change the date on which any Notes may be subject to redemption or reduce the Redemption Price therefor,

(2) reduce the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture or amendment, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in this Indenture,

111

(5) modify any of the provisions of this paragraph or provisions relating to waiver of defaults or certain covenants, except to increase any such percentage required for such actions or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected thereby, or

(6) release any Guarantees required to be maintained under this Indenture (other than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture) or release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens securing the Notes (other than in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement).

It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past default under this Indenture and its consequences, except a default:

(1) in any payment in respect of the principal of, and premium, if any, on, or interest on any Notes (including any Note which is required to have been purchased pursuant to an Offer to Purchase which has been made by the Issuer), or

SECTION 9.3 Revocation and Effect of Consents.

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

The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for determining which Holders consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver. If the Issuer fixes a record date, the record date shall be fixed at (i) the later of 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of Holders furnished for the Trustee prior to such solicitation pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof or (ii) such other date as the Issuer shall designate.

112

SECTION 9.4 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

After any amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment, supplement or waiver. The failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

SECTION 9.5 Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc.

The Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent. The Issuer and the Guarantors may not sign an amendment or supplemental indenture until their respective Boards of Directors approve it. In signing or refusing to sign any amendment or supplemental indenture the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.1 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, that all conditions precedent thereto have been met or waived and that such amendment or supplemental indenture is not inconsistent herewith.

NOTE GUARANTEES

SECTION 12.1 Note Guarantees.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guarantees the Notes and obligations of the Issuer hereunder and thereunder, and guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee for itself and on behalf of such Holder, that: (i) the principal of and premium, if any and interest on the Notes shall be paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise (including the amount that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Law), together with interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any overdue interest, to the extent lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be paid in full or performed, 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 of any such other obligations, the same shall be paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Each of the Note Guarantees shall be a guarantee of payment and not of collection.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that 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 with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the

118

Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor.

(c) Each Guarantor hereby waives the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand for payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor shall not be discharged as to any Note except by complete performance of the obligations contained in such Note and such Note Guarantee or as provided for in this Indenture. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in payment of principal or premium, if any or interest on such Note, whether at its Stated Maturity, by acceleration, call for redemption, purchase or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holder of such Note, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against each of the Guarantors to enforce such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company or any other Guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee or any of the Holders are prevented by applicable law from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the maturity of the Notes, to collect interest on the Notes, or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the Notes, such Guarantor shall pay to the Trustee for the account of the Holders, upon demand therefor, the amount that would otherwise have been due and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the Trustee or any of the Holders.

(d) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer or any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Issuer or any Guarantor, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or such Holder, the Note Guarantee of each of the Guarantors, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. This clause (d) shall remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by the Trustee or any Holder in reliance upon such amount required to be returned. This clause (d) shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

(e) Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Guarantor, 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 VI hereof for the purposes of the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor.

SECTION 12.2 Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.

To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 12.1, each Guarantor agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B shall be endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. Such notation of Note Guarantee shall be signed on behalf of such Guarantor by an officer of such Guarantor (or, if an officer is not available, by a board member, director, member or other authorized person, as applicable) on behalf of such Guarantor by manual or facsimile signature. In case the Officer,

119

board member or director or member of such Guarantor who shall have signed such notation of Note Guarantee shall cease to be such Officer, board member, director, member or other authorized person before the Note on which such Note Guarantee is endorsed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, such Note nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered as though the Person who signed such notation of Note Guarantee had not ceased to be such officer, board member, director, member or other authorized person.

Each Guarantor agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 12.1 shall remain in full force and effect and apply to all the Notes (including, without limitation, any Additional Notes and PIK Notes) notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.

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

The failure to endorse a Note Guarantee shall not affect or impair the validity thereof.

SECTION 12.3 Severability.

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

SECTION 12.4 Limitation of Guarantors’ Liability.

Each Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law or the provisions of its local law relating to fraudulent transfer or conveyance. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount that will not, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor 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 its Note Guarantee, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

SECTION 12.5 [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 12.6 [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 12.7 Release of a Guaranty.

The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor and its other Obligations under this Indenture will be automatically and unconditionally released:

120

(a) in the event of a sale or other transfer or disposition of all of the assets of such Guarantor, by way of consolidation, merger or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Interests in such Guarantor to any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company, to the extent otherwise permitted in this Indenture;

(b) in connection with a Discharge, legal defeasance or covenant defeasance in compliance with Article VIII; or

(c) upon dissolution and completion of winding up of such Guarantor, to the extent otherwise permitted in this Indenture.

Any Guarantor not so released shall remain liable for the full amount of principal and interest on the Notes as provided in its Note Guarantee.

SECTION 12.8 Benefits Acknowledged.

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

SECTION 12.9 Future Guarantors.

Each Person that is required to become a Guarantor after the Issue Date pursuant to Section 4.18 shall promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Person shall become a Guarantor. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate (upon which the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively and exclusively rely) to the effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Person and that, subject to the application of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and to the principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity, the Guarantee of such Guarantor is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms and/or to such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request.

SECTION 13.14 Acts of Holders.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of Holders signing such instrument or instruments.

Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than such signer’s individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of such signer’s authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder of the same Note and the holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

(e) If the Issuer shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Issuer may, at its option, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Issuer shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of outstanding Notes have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the outstanding Notes shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date.

5.500%/6.500% Senior Secured Second Lien Cashpay/PIK Notes due 2023
MONITRONICS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

(1) Interest.

(a) Monitronics International, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Monitronics” or the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note (the “Notes”) at the rate of 12.000% per annum, consisting of 5.500% per annum payable in cash and 6.500% per annum payable in the form of increased principal amount of the Note or the issuance of additional Notes (“PIK Interest”) calculated based on the outstanding principal amount of Notes as of the beginning of such interest period (after giving effect to (x) any issuance of additional Notes in respect of the immediately preceding interest period and (y) any PIK Interest in respect of the preceding interest periods). Monitronics will pay interest in United States dollars (except as otherwise provided herein) semiannually in arrears on April 30 and October 30, commencing on April 30, 2019, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes (including any Additional Notes, if any) shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including January [ ], 2019. Monitronics shall pay interest (including Post-Petition Interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the rate equal to then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay interest (including Post-Petition Interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. The interest rate on the Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application.

(2) Method of Payment. Monitronics will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) on the applicable Interest Payment Date to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the April 15 and October 15 preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes shall be payable as to principal, premium and interest at the office or agency of Monitronics maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of Monitronics, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required with respect to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, all Global Notes and all other Certificated Notes the Holders of which shall have provided written wire transfer instructions to Monitronics and the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. With respect to payments of PIK Interest, PIK Interest on the Notes shall be payable (x) with respect to Global Notes registered in the name of, or held by, DTC, by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Notes by an amount

equal to the amount of PIK Interest payable with respect to the applicable interest period (rounded down to the nearest whole dollar) as provided in writing by the Company to the Trustee, or if necessary, by issuing a new Global Note executed by the Issuer and a written order to the Trustee (or its authenticating agent) to authenticate such new Global Note under the Indenture and (y) with respect to certificated Notes, by issuing additional Notes in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest for the applicable interest period (rounded down to the nearest whole dollar).

Any payments of principal of and interest on this Note prior to Stated Maturity shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. The amount due and payable at the maturity of this Note shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Note at an office of the Trustee or the Trustee’s agent appointed for such purposes.

(3) Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, Ankura Trust Company, the Trustee under the Indenture, shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. Monitronics may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder, but with written notice to the Trustee. Monitronics or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

(4) Indenture. Monitronics issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of January [ ], 2019 (the “Indenture”), among Monitronics, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made a part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”). To the extent the provisions of this Note are inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture, the Indenture and the TIA shall govern. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. The Notes issued on the Issue Date are senior Obligations of Monitronics limited to $[ ] in aggregate principal amount, plus amounts, if any, sufficient to pay premium and interest on outstanding Notes as set forth in Paragraph 2 hereof. The Indenture permits the issuance of Additional Notes subject to compliance with certain conditions. The Notes will be secured by Liens on the Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents. The rights of the Holders of the Notes with respect to the Collateral will be subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Security Documents.

The payment of principal and interest on the Notes is unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by the Guarantors.

(5) Optional Redemption.

(b) Prior to December 15, 2020, the Issuer may, on one or more occasions, with an amount of cash not greater than the net cash proceeds of one or more Qualified Equity Offerings, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes and PIK Notes) at a Redemption Price equal to 112.000% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption; provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes originally issued under this Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of any such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Company or its Subsidiaries) and that any such redemption occurs within 120 days following the closing of any such Qualified Equity Offering; provided, further, that the Company may not redeem any other indebtedness pursuant to a similar “equity claw” provision applicable thereto in connection with the receipt of cash proceeds from one or more Qualified Equity Offerings to the extent it redeems Notes in connection with such offerings.

(6) Mandatory Redemption. Except as set forth under Sections 4.10 and 4.14 of the Indenture, the Issuer shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

(7) Repurchase at Option of Holder.

(a) Upon the occurrence of certain events, the Issuer may be required to commence an Offer to Purchase pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control.

(b) Holders of the Notes that are the subject of an Offer to Purchase will receive notice of an Offer to Purchase pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control from Monitronics prior to any related Purchase Date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form titled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” appearing below.

(8) Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in a minimum amount of $2,000 principal amount (and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, or, after any PIK Payment has been made, in a minimum amount of $1.00 and any integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof), unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on the Notes or portions hereof called for redemption.

(9) Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in initial denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof (or, after any PIK Payment has been made, denominations of $1.00 or larger). The transfer of

the Notes may be registered and the 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 Monitronics may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. Monitronics need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, it need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

(10) Persons Deemed Owners. The registered holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

(11) Security and Collateral. The Notes will be entitled to the benefits of certain Collateral pledged for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents subject to the rights of holders of certain Indebtedness under the Intercreditor Agreement, if any. Reference is hereby made to the Security Documents for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and obligations thereunder of the Company, the Guarantors, the Notes Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Holders. The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, to the provisions contained in the Security Documents and the Indenture and authorizes the Notes Collateral Agent and the Trustee to give them effect and appoints the Notes Collateral Agent and the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for such purpose.

(12) Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of or tender offer or exchange offer for Notes, and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes.

Without the consent of any Holders, Monitronics, the Guarantors and the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental to the Indenture and the Guarantees and may amend the Security Documents and/or the Intercreditor Agreement for any of the following purposes:

(1) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Issuer or any Guarantor and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Issuer or such Guarantor in the Indenture, the Guarantees, in the Notes, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement;

(2) to add to the covenants of the Issuer for the benefit of the Holders, or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon Xxxxxxxxxxx;

(8) to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Indenture; provided that such actions pursuant to this clause shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders in any material respect, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer;

(9) to conform the text of the Indenture or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of New Notes” in the Offering Memorandum;

(10) to add any additional Guarantee of the Notes as provided in the Indenture or otherwise or to release Guarantees or Guarantors when permitted by the Indenture;

(12) to provide for the release or addition of Liens on Collateral in accordance with the terms of, and as permitted by, the Indenture and the Security Documents;

(13) to make, complete or confirm any grant of Liens on Collateral, including to secure any Obligations, to the extent permitted by the Note Documents; or

(14) to add additional secured parties with respect to the Obligations to any Security Documents to the extent permitted thereunder.

With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, Monitronics, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental to the Indenture (together with the other consents required thereby) and may amend the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders under the Indenture, the Notes, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, including the definitions therein; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture, modification or amendment shall, without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected thereby:

and payable on acceleration of the maturity thereof, or change or the coin or currency in which, any Note or any premium or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof, or change the date on which any Notes may be subject to redemption or reduce the Redemption Price therefor,

(2) reduce the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture or amendment, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or certain defaults thereunder and their consequences) provided for in the Indenture,

(3) modify the obligations of the Issuer to make Offers to Purchase upon a Change of Control or from the Excess Proceeds of Asset Sales if such modification was done after the occurrence of such Change of Control or Asset Sale, as applicable,

(4) (a) make any change in the Notes, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees, the Intercreditor Agreement or the other Security Documents (i) modifying the application of proceeds of the Collateral in a manner that would adversely affect the rights of Holders hereunder or thereunder, (ii) that would adversely alter the priority and/or the security interests of the Notes Collateral Agent on behalf of any Holders in the Collateral (including with respect to any other Notes) or (iii) that would subordinate, in right of payment, any Notes or the Note Guarantees of the Guarantors to any other Debt of the Company or such Guarantors, including any other Notes; or (b) amend the penultimate paragraph of Section 4.9 of the Indenture;

(5) modify any of the provisions of this paragraph (12) or provisions relating to waiver of defaults or certain covenants, except to increase any such percentage required for such actions or to provide that certain other provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected thereby; or

(6) release any Guarantees required to be maintained under the Indenture (other than in accordance with the terms of the Indenture) or release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens securing the Notes (other than in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement).

The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past default under the Indenture and its consequences, except a default:

(1) in any payment in respect of the principal of, and premium, if any, on and interest on any Notes (including any Note which is required to have been purchased pursuant to an Offer to Purchase which has been made by the Issuer), or

(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under the Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected.

(13) Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default include:

(1) default in the payment in respect of the principal of, or premium, if any, on, any Note at its maturity (whether at Stated Maturity or upon repurchase, acceleration, optional redemption or otherwise);

(2) default in the payment of any interest upon any Note when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days;

(3) failure to perform or comply with the provisions described under Section 5.1 of the Indenture;

(4) except as permitted by the Indenture, (i) any Note Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary of the Company (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company), shall for any reason cease to be in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms other than in accordance with the terms of the Note Guarantee or for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof has been given to the Company by the trustee or the Holders of 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes or (ii) the Note Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary of the Company (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company) shall for any reason be asserted by any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary of the Company (or any group of Guarantors that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company) or the Issuer not to be in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms (other than by reason of release of the Guarantor from its Note Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Note Guarantee);

(5) failure by the Company or any Guarantor to comply with any covenant or agreement in this Indenture (other than a covenant or agreement a default in whose performance or whose breach is specifically dealt with in clauses (1), (2), (3) or (4) above) or (y) the Security Documents, and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after written notice thereof has been given to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes;

(7) the entry against the Company or if its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) of a final judgment or final judgments (following the exhaustion of all available appeal processes pending which such final judgment or final judgments are stayed) for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess of $25.0 million (to the extent not covered by insurance or indemnity), by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction, which judgments remain undischarged, unwaived, unstayed, unbonded or unsatisfied for a period of 60 consecutive days;

(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) admits, in writing, its inability generally to pay its debts as they become due; or

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

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

(9) The occurrence of any of the following:

(a) except as permitted by the Security Documents, any Collateral Document establishing the Liens securing the Notes Obligations ceases for any reason to be enforceable; provided that it will not be an Event of Default under this clause (9)(a) if the sole result of the failure of one or more Security Documents to be fully enforceable is that any Lien securing the Second Priority Obligations purported to be granted under such Security Documents on Collateral, individually or in the aggregate, having a Fair Market Value of not more than $1.0 million, ceases to be an enforceable and perfected Lien;

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (8) above with respect to the Issuer) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal of the Notes and any accrued interest on the Notes to be due and payable immediately by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Holders); provided, however, that after such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind and annul such acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal of or interest on the Notes, have been cured or waived as provided in this Indenture.

In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes solely because an Event of Default described in clause (6) above has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (6) shall be remedied or cured by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer or waived by the holders of the relevant Debt within 30 Business Days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if the rescission and annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Trustee for the payment of amounts due on the Notes.

If an Event of Default specified in clause (8) above occurs with respect to the Issuer, the principal of and accrued interest, if any, on the Notes then outstanding shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. For further information as to waiver of defaults see Article IX of the Indenture. The Trustee may

withhold from Holders notice of any Default (except Default in payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest) if the Trustee determines that withholding notice is in the interests of Holders to do so.

(14) Trustee Dealings with Monitronics. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from and perform services for Monitronics, the Guarantors or their respective Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with Monitronics, the Guarantors or their respective Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

(15) Defeasance and Discharge. The Notes are subject to defeasance and discharge upon the terms and conditions specified in the Indenture.

(16) No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, stockholder, general or limited partner, member or incorporator, past, present or future, of Monitronics, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as such or in such capacity, shall have any personal liability for any obligations of the Issuer under the Notes, any Guarantee or the Indenture by reason of his, her or its status as such director, officer, employee, stockholder, general or limited partner, member or incorporator. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, and the Trustee waive and release all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

(17) Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

(18) Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

(19) CUSIP, ISIN Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to the Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

(20) Successors. In the event a successor assumes all the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and the Indenture, pursuant to the terms thereof, such Issuer will be released from all such obligations.

(21) THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO, AND EACH HOLDER OF A NOTE BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY.

Monitronics shall furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with our proposed sale of $ aggregate principal amount of the Notes, we represent that:

1. We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3), (7) or (8) (solely to the extent that the equity owners are “accredited investors” under clauses (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Rule 501(a)) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor” at least $250,000 principal amount of the Notes, and we are acquiring the Notes not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Notes in the normal course of our business. We, and any accounts for which we are acting, are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment.

2. We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the date that is one year after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which the Company or any affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only (a) to the Company, (b) pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act, (c) in a transaction complying with the requirements of Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”), to a person we reasonably

believe is a qualified institutional buyer under Rule 144A (a “QIB”) that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of a QIB and to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (e) to an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3), (7) or (8) (solely to the extent that the equity owners are “accredited investors” under clauses (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Rule 501(a)) under the Securities Act that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor,” in each case in a minimum principal amount of Notes of $250,000, or (f) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in each of the foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the disposition of our property or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within our or their control and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is proposed to be made pursuant to clause (e) above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the Company and the Trustee, which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3), (7) or (8) (solely to the extent that the equity owners are “accredited investors” under clauses (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Rule 501(a)) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such Notes for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the Company and the Trustee reserve the right prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date of the Notes pursuant to clause (d), (e) or (f) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications or other information satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee.
