THE NOTES

Section 2.01 Form and Dating.

(a) General. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated and expressly made part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage (provided that any such notation legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Issuer). Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Issuer, Parent, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

(b) Global Notes. Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein, and each shall provide that it represents 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, purchases and redemptions of such Notes. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.

(c) Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” published by Euroclear and the “General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream Banking” and “Customer Handbook” published by Clearstream will be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.

Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication.

At least one Officer must sign the Notes for the Issuer by manual or facsimile or other electronic signature. Typographic and other minor defects in any facsimile or electronic signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Note which has been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

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

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

The Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer signed by at least one Officer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture, including any Additional Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Issuer pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07 hereof.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate the Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent for service of notices and demands.

Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent.

The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where the Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee, and the Trustee agrees to initially act as the Registrar and Paying Agent. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may appoint one or more co-

registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar, and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuer fails to appoint or maintain another entity as the Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

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

Section 2.04 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 Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, the Notes, and will 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. The Issuer at any time 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 any of its Subsidiaries) will have no further liability for the money. If the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries act as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuer, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.05 Holder Lists.

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders.

A Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

(b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes.

(ii) instructions given by the Depositary to the Registrar containing information regarding the Person in whose name such Definitive Note shall be registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in (1) above.

Upon satisfaction of all the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.06(g) hereof.

(3) Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.06(b)(2) above and the Registrar receives the following:

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

and, in each such case set forth in this Section 2.06(b)(4), an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and the Registrar to the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act.

If any such transfer is effected pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(4) at a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of beneficial interests transferred pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(4).

(1) Private Placement Legend. Each Global Note and each Definitive Note (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) shall bear the legend in substantially the following form:

“THIS NOTE (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), [IN THE CASE OF 144A NOTES: AND THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. EACH PURCHASER OF THIS NOTE IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER OF THIS NOTE MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER.] [IN THE CASE OF REGULATION S NOTES: AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, ANY U.S. PERSON EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND ALL APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. TERMS USED ABOVE HAVE THE MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM IN REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.]”

THE HOLDER OF THIS NOTE AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ISSUER THAT (A) THIS NOTE MAY BE OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ONLY (I) TO THE ISSUER, (II) IN THE UNITED STATES TO A PERSON WHOM THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A, (III) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 904 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (IV) TO AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” (AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(A)(1), (2), (3) OR (7) OF REGULATION D UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) THAT, PRIOR TO SUCH TRANSFER, FURNISHES THE TRUSTEE A SIGNED LETTER CONTAINING CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE (THE FORM OF WHICH CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THE TRUSTEE) AND, IF SUCH TRANSFER IS IN RESPECT OF AN AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF NOTES LESS THAN $250,000, AN OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH TRANSFER IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT, (V) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF AVAILABLE) OR (VI) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH OF CASES (I) THROUGH (VI) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND (B) THE HOLDER WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER OF THIS NOTE FROM IT OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (A) ABOVE.”

The Private Placement Legend shall be deemed removed from the face of any Note without further action of the Issuer, the Trustee or the Holder of such Note at such time as the Issuer shall have delivered an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee certifying that the Private Placement Legend can be removed because such Note may be resold to the public in accordance with Rule 144 without regard to volume, manner of sale or any other restrictions contained in Rule 144 (other than the holding period requirement in paragraph (d)(1)(ii) of Rule 144 so long as such holding period requirement is satisfied at such time of determination) by Holders that are not Affiliates of the Issuer; provided that in the case of Global Notes represented by a restricted CUSIP, the Issuer complies with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary.

(2) Global Note Legend. Each Global Note will bear a legend in substantially the following form:

“THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (1) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06 OF THE INDENTURE, (2) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06(a) OF THE INDENTURE, (3) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE DELIVERED TO THE TRUSTEE FOR CANCELLATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.11 OF THE INDENTURE AND (4) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE ISSUER.

UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR NOTES IN DEFINITIVE FORM, THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY. UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (55 XXXXX XXXXXX, XXX XXXX, XXX XXXX) (“DTC”), TO THE ISSUER OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC (AND ANY PAYMENT IS MADE TO CEDE & CO. OR SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS MAY BE REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.”

(g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

(h) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

(1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes (subject to Section 2.06(a)) upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrar’s request.

(2) No service charge will be made to a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 4.09, 4.13 and 9.04 hereof).

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

(4) Neither the Registrar nor the Issuer shall be required:

(A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection;

(B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note 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.

(5) 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 (subject to the provisions of the Notes with respect to record dates) interest on such Note and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(6) The Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes (subject to Section 2.06(a)) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.

(7) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Holder, including DTC as the Holder of a Global Note, may make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders, and DTC as the Holder of a Global Note may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of interests in any such Global Note through such depositary’s standing instructions and customary practices.

Section 2.07 Replacement Notes.

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Issuer and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will 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 to protect the Trustee and in the judgment of 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. In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note. The Issuer may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note, including any taxes or governmental charges that may be imposed in relation thereto.

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

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

Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes.

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note. Notes held by the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Sections 3.07(c) and (d) hereof.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

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

If the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer, a Subsidiary of the Issuer or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay the Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.09 Treasury Notes.

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

Section 2.10 Temporary Notes.

Until certificates representing the Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Until so exchanged, Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.11 Cancellation.

The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will destroy canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures. Certification of the cancellation of all canceled Notes will be delivered to the Issuer upon written request by the Issuer. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that they have paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest.

If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuer (or, upon the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) will send or cause to be sent 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 Issuance of Additional Notes.

(a) After the Issue Date, the Issuer shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with the covenants contained in this Indenture, including Section 4.08, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture, which Additional Notes shall have identical terms to the Initial Notes, other than with respect to the date of issuance and the issue price. All the Notes issued under this Indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes of this Indenture including waivers, amendments, redemptions and any Offer to Purchase; provided that a separate CUSIP number will be issued for any Additional Notes that are not fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

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

(1) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture and the provision of Section 4.08 that the Issuer is relying upon to issue such Additional Notes; and

(2) the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP number of such Additional Notes.

Section 2.14 Method of Submission.

All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile or by electronic transmission or mail.

Section 2.15 Trustee’s Duty to Monitor.

The Trustee (in each of its capacities hereunder, including without limitation as Registrar) shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among

Participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. Neither the Trustee (in each of its capacities hereunder, including without limitation as Registrar) nor any Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary. The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member of, Participant or Indirect Participant of, the Depositary or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any Participant, Indirect Participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any Participant, Indirect Participant, member, beneficial owner, or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or purchase) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other security or property) under or with respect to such Notes. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, Participants, Indirect Participants and any beneficial owners.

Any redemption of the Notes or any purchase of the Notes, including in connection with an Equity Offering or an Offer to Purchase upon a Change of Control Triggering Event, with the Net Cash Proceeds of an Asset Sale or in connection with another transaction (or series of related transactions) or event, including any financing, may, at the Issuer’s option, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion or occurrence of the related Equity Offering, Change of Control Triggering Event, Asset Sale or other transaction or event, as the case may be, and notice of such redemption or purchase may be given prior to the completion or the occurrence of the related Equity Offering, Change of Control Triggering Event, Asset Sale or other transaction or event. In addition, if such redemption or purchase is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the date of redemption or purchase may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption or purchase was sent) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the date of redemption or purchase, or by the date of redemption or purchase as so delayed, or such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Issuer’s discretion if in the good faith judgment of the Issuer any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption or purchase price and performance of its obligations with respect to such redemption or purchase may be performed by another Person. In any such case, the Issuer shall provide prompt written notice to the Trustee at least two Business Days prior to the redemption date rescinding such redemption in the event that any such conditions precedent shall not have been (or will not be) satisfied, and such redemption and notice of redemption shall then be rescinded and of no force and effect. Upon receipt of such notice from the Issuer rescinding such redemption, the Trustee shall promptly send a copy of such notice to the Holders to be redeemed in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given.

Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is sent in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, the Notes called for redemption, subject to any condition included in the applicable notice of redemption, become due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price.

Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.

Prior to 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the redemption or purchase date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest on, all the Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

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

Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.

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

Section 3.07 Optional Redemption.

(e) Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

(f) The Issuer or its Affiliates may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes. Any such purchases may be made through open market or privately negotiated transactions with third parties or pursuant to one or more tender or exchange offers or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices, as well as with such consideration, as the Issuer or any such Affiliates may determine.

(g) At any time, in connection with any tender offer or other offer to purchase the Notes (including pursuant to a Change of Control Offer to Purchase or Asset Sale Offer to Purchase), if not less than 90.0% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes are purchased by the Issuer, or, in the case of a Change of Control Offer to Purchase, any third party purchasing or acquiring Notes in lieu of the Issuer, the Issuer or such third party will have the right, upon notice as set forth in this Section 3 to redeem the Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at the price paid to Holders in such purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the redemption date).

Principal, premium, if any, and interest will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary thereof, holds as of 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the due date money deposited by the Issuer in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, then due.

The Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful.

Section 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Issuer shall maintain in the United States, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-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. If at any time the Issuer fails to maintain any such required office or agency or 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; provided that no office of the Trustee shall be an office or agency for the purposes of service of legal process against the Issuer or any Guarantor.

The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission will in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the United States for such purposes. 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.

The Issuer hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Issuer in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof.

If a Parent Entity has provided the information as required by the foregoing paragraph as if such Parent Entity were the Issuer, the Issuer shall be deemed to have satisfied such requirements; provided that if the Parent Entity is not a Guarantor of the Notes, to the extent that, in the reasonable judgment of the Issuer, there are material differences between the financial information of the Issuer, on the one hand, and the Parent Entity, on the other hand, the Parent Entity provides to the Trustee and the Holders unaudited supplemental financial information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such Parent Entity and any of its Subsidiaries other than the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a stand-alone basis, on the other hand.

(b) For so long as any of the Notes remain outstanding and constitute “restricted securities” under Rule 144, the Issuer will furnish to the Holders and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

(d) Delivery of reports, information and documents referred to above to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). The Trustee shall have no duty to review or analyze reports delivered to it.

whether the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries have performed their respective obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to such Officer signing such certificate, that to his or her knowledge, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries have performed their obligations under this Indenture (or, in the event of noncompliance, specifying such noncompliance and the nature and status thereof of which signer may have knowledge).

(i) 95.0% of the aggregate amount of Funds From Operations (or, if Funds From Operations is a loss, minus 100% of the amount of such loss) accrued on a cumulative basis during the period (taken as one accounting period) commencing April 1, 2021 and ending on the last day of the most recent Fiscal Quarter preceding the Transaction Date for which internal financial statements are available; provided that for each of the first four (4) full Fiscal Quarters commencing with the Fiscal Quarter beginning on April 1, 2021, Funds From Operations for purposes of this clause (C)(i) shall be calculated as the greater of (x) the aggregate amount of Funds From Operations in such Fiscal Quarter and (y) zero; plus

(ii) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds and the Fair Market Value of other property received by the Issuer after the Issue Date from (a) the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the Issuer (other than Disqualified Stock, Designated Preferred Stock, Excluded Contributions and any Permitted Warrant Transaction), (b) any contribution to the common equity capital of the Issuer (other than Excluded Contributions) or (c) the retirement or cancellation of Convertible Indebtedness upon the conversion of such Convertible Indebtedness into Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock and Designated Preferred Stock) of the Issuer; plus

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Issuer and/or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may declare and/or pay any dividend or make any distribution to their equity holders to fund a dividend or distribution by Parent or any other Parent Entity that is a REIT (including for the avoidance of doubt, declaring and/or paying any corresponding dividends, and making any corresponding distributions to, the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s other holders of Equity Interests), and (ii) any REIT Subsidiary may declare and/or pay any dividend or make any distribution to its equity holders, in each case so long as Parent believes in good faith that (1) the applicable REIT Entity qualifies as a REIT under the Code and (2) the declaration and/or payment of such dividend or the making of such distribution by the Issuer, the applicable REIT Subsidiary or any other Restricted Subsidiary is necessary either (A) to maintain the applicable REIT Entity’s status as a REIT under the Code for any calendar year or (B) to enable the applicable REIT Entity to avoid the payment of any tax for any calendar year that could be avoided by reason of a dividend or distribution by such REIT Entity to its equity holders, with such dividend or distribution by such REIT Entity to be made as and when determined by such REIT Entity, whether during or after the end of the relevant calendar year, and for purposes of calculating such dividend or distribution by any such REIT Entity described in clause (i) above, in the case of both (A) and (B), assuming that the applicable REIT Entity owns no assets other than its direct or indirect interests in the Issuer.

provided, further, that in no event may Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor that ranks equally with or subordinate in right of payment to the Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Note Guarantee, as applicable, be Refinanced by means of any Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to this clause (5);

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness, due solely to the result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies.

(f) For purposes of determining any particular amount of Indebtedness under this Section 4.08, Guarantees, Liens or obligations with respect to letters of credit supporting Indebtedness otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount will not be included (i.e., there will be no double-counting).

For the avoidance of doubt, any Indebtedness under the Initial Notes shall be treated as Incurred as of the Issue Date in reliance on the exception provided by Section 4.08(d)(1) but may be later reclassified in accordance with this Section 4.08(g). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indebtedness under the XHR Loan Documents outstanding on the Issue Date will at all times be treated as Incurred in reliance on the exception provided by Section 4.08(d)(1).

(A) any liabilities of the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and for which either (a) the Issuer and any such Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by the creditors or (b) the transferee and/or an Affiliate thereof has agreed in writing to fully indemnify the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiaries;

(B) any securities, evidences of Indebtedness, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within 180 days of the consummation of such Asset Sale; and

(b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Issuer will or will cause the Applicable Percentage of such Net Cash Proceeds (or an amount equal to the Applicable Percentage of such Net Cash Proceeds) to be applied to:

(1) (i) make any repayments of Pari Passu Lien Obligations as required pursuant to the XHR Credit Agreements during the Covenant Waiver Period (as defined in the XHR Credit Agreements from time to time) (without obligation to permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto unless required under the XHR Credit Agreements) and (ii) thereafter, permanently reduce Obligations constituting Pari Passu Lien Obligations and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit facilities or other similar Indebtedness, to correspondingly permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto (other than Obligations owed to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary); provided that (x) to the extent the terms of Pari Passu Lien Obligations that are incurred pursuant to Credit Facilities (other than Obligations under the Notes or other Capital Markets Indebtedness) require that such Pari Passu Lien Obligations are repaid with the Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale prior to repayment of other Indebtedness (including the Notes), the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall be entitled to repay such other Pari Passu Lien Obligations (other than Capital Markets Indebtedness) prior to repaying

Obligations under the Notes (it being understood and agreed that during the Covenant Waiver Period, the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility require that the Revolving Credit Facility be repaid with the Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale prior to repayment of other Indebtedness (including the Notes)) and (y) except as provided in the foregoing clause (x), if the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary shall so reduce Pari Passu Lien Obligations, the Issuer will, equally and ratably, reduce Obligations under the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 through open-market purchases (provided that such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth herein) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of Notes so purchased;

(2) fund all or a portion of an optional redemption of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof or repurchase the Notes in open market transactions if such repurchase is not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture;

(3) permanently reduce Obligations ranking pari passu with the Notes other than Pari Passu Lien Obligations so long as the relevant Net Cash Proceeds are received with respect to an Asset Sale of property that does not constitute Collateral; provided that if the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary shall so reduce any such pari passu Obligations, the Issuer will equally and ratably reduce or offer to reduce Obligations under the Notes in any manner set forth in clause (1)(y) above (based on the amounts so applied to such repayments or prepayments);

(4) permanently reduce Secured Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor or Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, in each case owing to a Person other than the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(5) make (A) an investment in or acquisition of any one or more Replacement Assets, (B) capital expenditures in a Related Business owned by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary or (C) an acquisition of other assets of a nature or type that are used in or useful to the business of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries existing on the date of such investment, capital expenditure or acquisition; provided that the assets (including Capital Stock) acquired with the Net Cash Proceeds of a disposition of Collateral are pledged as Collateral to the extent required under the Security Documents (except to the extent a Lien thereon is not required by, or is released by lenders, under the XHR Credit Agreements); or

(6) any combination of the foregoing;

provided, that the Issuer will be deemed to have complied with the provisions described in clause (5) of this Section 4.09 if and to the extent that the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries enter into a definitive agreement committing to make such investment, acquisition or capital expenditure or so invest within such 365-day period, which acquisition, capital expenditure or investment shall be made within 180 days after the end of such 365-day period.

(c) Pending the application of any such Net Cash Proceeds as described above, the Issuer may temporarily reduce Indebtedness or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. The amount of such excess Net Cash Proceeds required to be applied (or to be committed to be applied) during such 365-day period as set forth in the preceding sentence and not applied (or committed to be applied) as so required by the end of such period will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” If, as of the first day of any calendar month, the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds not previously subject to an Offer to Purchase pursuant to this Section 4.09 totals more than the greater of (x) $50.0 million and (y) 1.6% of Adjusted Total Assets, the Issuer must commence, not later than 20 Business Days thereafter, and consummate an Offer to Purchase from the Holders and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to an Offer to Purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets, on a pro rata basis (subject to adjustments to maintain the authorized denominations for the Notes and any pari passu Indebtedness), an aggregate principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness equal to the Excess Proceeds on such date, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, to, but not including, the Payment Date.

(d) If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness with the Notes tendered into such Offer to Purchase exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, then the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness will be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness tendered (subject to adjustments to maintain the authorized denominations for the Notes and any pari passu Indebtedness). Upon completion of each Offer to Purchase, any remaining Excess Proceeds subject to such Offer to Purchase will no longer be deemed to be Excess Proceeds and may be applied to any other purpose not prohibited under this Indenture.

(e) If any such Offer to Purchase is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice will describe each such condition, and if applicable, will state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the Payment Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Payment Date, or by the Payment Date as so delayed, in each case in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof.

(f) On the Payment Date, the Issuer will:

(1) accept for payment on a pro rata basis Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to an Offer to Purchase;

(2) deposit with the applicable paying agent money sufficient, as determined by the Issuer, to pay the purchase price of all Notes or portions thereof so accepted; and

(3) promptly thereafter deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee all Notes or portions thereof so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate specifying the Notes or portions thereof accepted for payment by the Issuer.

The Paying Agent will promptly deliver to the Holders so accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase price, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and deliver to such Holders a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Note surrendered; provided that each Note purchased and each new Note issued will be in a principal amount of $2,000 and any higher integral multiple of $1,000. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of an Offer to Purchase as soon as practicable after the Payment Date.

(g) The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Offer to Purchase in connection with an Asset Sale. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.09, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.09 by virtue of such compliance.

Section 4.10 Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to enter into, renew or extend any transaction of any kind with any Affiliate of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than transactions between or among any Parent Entity, the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries), in each case, involving consideration in excess of the greater of (x) $50.0 million and (y) 1.6% of Adjusted Total Assets in the aggregate (an “Affiliate Transaction”) for any transaction or series of related transactions, except upon terms and conditions (taken as a whole) that are not materially less favorable to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary than could be obtained, at the time of such transaction or, if such transaction is pursuant to a written agreement, at the time of the execution of the agreement providing therefor, in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person that is not such an Affiliate.

(3) any transaction with any Person who is not an Affiliate immediately before the consummation of such transaction that becomes an Affiliate as a result of such transaction;

(8) the payment of fees, commission, payroll, reasonable out-of-pocket costs, travel and similar advances or loans (including payment or cancellation thereof) to, and indemnities provided on behalf of, directors, managers, officers, employees and consultants of the Issuer (or any Parent Entity) and its Subsidiaries to the extent attributable to the ownership, management or operation of the Issuer (or any Parent Entity) and its Subsidiaries, in each case (i) in the ordinary course of business, (ii) pursuant to arrangements in effect on the Issue Date or (iii) as may be approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Parent;

100

(9) any transactions entered into pursuant to the Distribution Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and amendments to such agreements or the Issuer Operating Agreement that are not adverse to the interests of the holders in any material respect;

(12) affiliate transactions and agreements disclosed or referred to in Parent’s filings with the Commission on or prior to and as in effect on the Issue Date (in each case, including any amendment, modification or extension thereto to the extent such amendment, modification or extension, taken as a whole, is not (i) adverse to the Holders in any material respect or (ii) more disadvantageous to the Holders than the relevant transaction in existence on the Issue Date in any material respect);

(13) agreements with Joint Ventures and Unrestricted Subsidiaries to facilitate arrangements related to (i) easements, exceptions, reservations, condominium documents or other agreements or documents for the purpose of pipelines, conduits, cables, wire communication lines, power lines and substations, streets, trails, walkways, traffic signals, drainage, irrigation, water, electricity and sewerage purposes, dikes, canals, ditches, the removal of oil, gas, coal or other minerals, and other like purposes affecting Property, facilities or equipment which individually or in the aggregate do not materially burden or impair the Fair Market Value or use of such Property for the purposes for which it is or may reasonably be expected to be held or (ii) easements, exceptions, reservations, condominium documents or other agreements or documents for the purpose of facilitating the joint or common use of Property in or adjacent to a neighboring development, timeshare or residential property, shopping center, office building, utility company, public facility or other projects affecting Property which individually or in the aggregate do not materially burden or impair the Fair Market Value or use of such Property for the purposes for which it is or may reasonably be expected to be held;

101

(14) leases or subleases (i) not interfering in any material respect with the ordinary conduct of the business of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes operating subleases) and (ii) licenses or sublicenses of Intellectual Property made in the ordinary course of business, and termination of leases and Swap Contracts in the ordinary course of business;

(15) entry into and transactions pursuant to Tax Protection Agreements or any amendment, modification or supplement thereto or replacement thereof, as long as such agreement or arrangement, as so amended, modified, supplemented or replaced, taken as a whole, is not in the good faith determination of the Issuer, materially less favorable to the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries than the original agreement;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transaction or series of related transactions covered by Section 4.10(a) hereof and not covered by clauses (1) through (16) of Section 4.10(b) hereof the amount of which exceeds the greater of (x) $100.0 million and (y) 3.3% of Adjusted Total Assets in value must be approved or determined to be fair in the manner provided for in clause (17)(A) or (B) of Section 4.10(b) hereof.

Section 4.11 Liens.

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause to become effective any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) that secures Obligations upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, unless (i) all payments due under this Indenture and the Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the Obligations so secured until such time as such Obligations are no longer secured by a Lien and (ii) in the case of additional Indebtedness or other obligations that are secured by a Lien on the Collateral after the Issue Date, such Indebtedness or other obligations are designated as “Pari Passu Lien Obligations” or “Additional Pari Passu Lien Obligations” under the Intercreditor Agreement and the applicable Pari Passu Secured Parties or Additional Pari Passu Secured Parties with respect to such Pari Passu Lien Obligations or Additional Pari Passu Lien Obligations enter into the Intercreditor Agreement.

102

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.11, in the event that any Lien meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Liens described under the definition of “Permitted Liens,” the Issuer, in its sole discretion, may classify such Lien in one such type of Permitted Liens; provided that the Issuer may divide and classify a Lien in one or more of the types of Permitted Liens and may later reclassify all or a portion of such Lien, in any manner that complies within this Section 4.11.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, to the extent that the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary grants or maintains a Lien on any assets of such Person to secure the XHR Credit Agreements, the Existing 2025 Notes or any Additional Pari Passu Lien Obligations (other than the Notes Obligations), the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary shall contemporaneously grant and maintain a Lien on such assets to secure the Notes Obligations.

Section 4.12 Corporate Existence.

Subject to Article 5 and Section 10.04 hereof, the Issuer shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect:

(1) their corporate, partnership or other existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of their Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that legal name changes may be made upon the reasonable discretion of the Issuer); and

(2) the rights (charter and statutory) and licenses of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries;

provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to preserve any such right or license, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if the loss thereof would not reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Section 4.13 Offer to Purchase Upon Change of Control Triggering Event.

(a) Unless the Issuer has previously or concurrently sent a redemption notice with respect to all existing Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 and all conditions precedent applicable to such redemption notice have been satisfied, within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the option of the Issuer, prior to any Change of Control Triggering Event, but after public announcement of the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will commence an Offer to Purchase for all Notes then outstanding at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Payment Date. The Offer to Purchase will, if sent prior to the date on which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, describe the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event, and state that the Offer to Purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the applicable Payment Date.

103

(b) Subject to Section 4.13(c), the provisions described above that require the Issuer to make an Offer to Purchase following a Change of Control Triggering Event will be applicable regardless of whether any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable.

(c) The Issuer will not be required to make an Offer to Purchase upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes the Offer to Purchase in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to an Offer to Purchase made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Offer to Purchase.

(d) [reserved].

(e) The Issuer will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.13, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.13 by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations.

(f) If the terms of any Credit Facility prohibit the Issuer from making an Offer to Purchase or from purchasing the Notes pursuant thereto, prior to the sending of the notice to Holders, but in any event within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer covenants to:

(1) repay in full all Indebtedness outstanding under such Credit Facilities or offer to repay in full all such Indebtedness and repay the Indebtedness of each lender who has accepted such offer; or

(2) obtain the requisite consent under such Credit Facilities to permit the purchase of the Notes as described above.

(g) The Issuer must first comply with clause (f) of this Section 4.13 before it will be required to purchase Notes in the event of a Change of Control Triggering Event; provided, however, that the Issuer’s failure to comply with clause (f) of this Section 4.13 or to make a Change of Control Offer to Purchase because of any such failure shall constitute a Default described in clause (4) in Section 6.01 (and not under clause (3) in Section 6.01 hereof); provided further, if the Issuer has instituted any liability management procedures or is otherwise engaged in obtaining the requisite consents under such Credit Facilities to permit the purchase of the Notes (such engagement to be determined by the Issuer in its sole discretion), the Issuer shall have an additional 30 days following the initial 30-day period after the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event to secure such consents and no Default shall have occurred if such consents are obtained within such 30-day period.

(h) If any such Offer to Purchase is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice will describe each such condition, and if applicable, will state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the Payment Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Payment Date, or by the Payment Date as so delayed, in each case in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof.

104

(i) On the Payment Date, the Issuer will:

(1) accept for payment on a pro rata basis Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to an Offer to Purchase;

(2) deposit with the applicable paying agent money sufficient, as determined by the Issuer, to pay the purchase price of all Notes or portions thereof so accepted; and

Section 4.14 Limitation on Issuances of Guarantees by Subsidiary Guarantors.

The Issuer will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to Guarantee, directly or indirectly, any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor (“Guaranteed Indebtedness”), unless:

(1) if the Guaranteed Indebtedness ranks equally in right of payment with the Notes or a Note Guarantee, the Guarantee of such Guaranteed Indebtedness will rank equally with, or subordinate to, the Note Guarantee; or

(2) if the Guaranteed Indebtedness is subordinate in right of payment to the Notes or a Note Guarantee, the Guarantee of such Guaranteed Indebtedness will be subordinated in right of payment to the Note Guarantee at least to the extent that the Guaranteed Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Note Guarantee.

Section 4.15 Suspension of Covenants.

(1) If, on any date following the Issue Date, (i) the Notes are rated Investment Grade by both of S&P and Xxxxx’x (or, if either of S&P or Xxxxx’x has been replaced in accordance with the definition of “Rating Agencies,” by both of the then-applicable Rating Agencies) and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (such date, the “Suspension Date”), the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will no longer be subject to Sections 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.14, 4.17 or 5.01(3) hereof (such period during which the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to such covenants, a “Suspension Period”).

105

(2) In the event of any Suspension Period as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (such date, a “Reversion Date”) the Notes are no longer rated Investment Grade by both of S&P and Xxxxx’x (or, if either of S&P or Xxxxx’x has been replaced in accordance with the definition of “Rating Agencies,” by both of the then-applicable Rating Agencies), then the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to such covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events.

(3) The Issuer shall promptly upon its occurrence deliver to the Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate notifying the Trustee of the occurrence of any Suspension Date or Reversion Date, and the date thereof. The Trustee shall not have any obligation to monitor the occurrence or dates of any Suspension Date or Reversion Date or to independently determine or verify if such events have occurred and may rely conclusively on such Officer’s Certificate. The Trustee shall not have any obligation to notify the Holders of the occurrence or dates of any Suspension Date or Reversion Date.

(4) On each Reversion Date, all Indebtedness Incurred during the Suspension Period shall be classified as having been Incurred pursuant to Section 4.08 hereof (to the extent such Indebtedness would be permitted to be Incurred or issued thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness Incurred prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Indebtedness would not be so permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.08 hereof, such Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.08(d)(4) hereof. Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.06 hereof shall be made as though such covenant had been in effect since the Issue Date and prior, but not during, the Suspension Period; provided that any Subsidiaries designated as Restricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period shall automatically become Restricted Subsidiaries on the Reversion Date (subject to the Issuer’s right to subsequently designate them as Unrestricted Subsidiaries in compliance with Article 4 hereof). Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will not reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.06 hereof. In addition: (i) for purposes of Section 4.10, all agreements and arrangements entered into by the Issuer and any Restricted Subsidiary with an Affiliate of the Issuer during the Suspension Period prior to such Reversion Date will be deemed to have been entered into prior to the Issue Date; (ii) for purposes of Section 4.07, all contracts entered into during the Suspension Period prior to such Reversion Date that contain any of the restrictions contemplated by such covenant will be deemed to have been entered pursuant to Section 4.07(b)(1), and (iii) for purposes of Section 4.11, any Lien Incurred during a Suspension Period will be deemed to have been incurred pursuant to clause (35) of the definition of “Permitted Liens.” No Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred on the Reversion Date as a result of any actions taken by the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period. Within 30 days of such Reversion Date, the Issuer shall comply with the terms of Section 4.17 hereof.

106

(5) For purposes of Section 4.09 hereof, on the Reversion Date, the unutilized Excess Proceeds amount will be reset to zero.

Section 4.16 Maintenance of Total Unencumbered Assets.

The Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall, at all times, including for the avoidance of doubt during any Suspension Period, maintain Total Unencumbered Assets as of the end of each Fiscal Quarter of not less than 150.0% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Issuer’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Unsecured Debt as of the end of each Fiscal Quarter, all calculated on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.

Section 4.17 Future Guarantors.

The Issuer will cause each Restricted Subsidiary that is not then the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor that (a) Incurs any Indebtedness under any of the XHR Credit Agreements, any Additional Pari Passu Lien Obligations, any other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to Section 4.08(d)(1) and/or any Capital Markets Indebtedness or (b) Guarantees any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor under any of the XHR Credit Agreements, any Additional Pari Passu Lien Obligations, any other Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 4.08(d)(1) or any Capital Markets Indebtedness of the Issuer or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, to, within 20 Business Days thereof, execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit E hereto pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture providing for a Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in this Indenture and applicable to the other Subsidiary Guarantors; provided that this Section 4.17 will not be applicable to any Guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and that was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Note Guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer will be automatically released pursuant to Section 10.05 hereof.

Section 4.18 Limited Condition Transactions.

In connection with any Limited Condition Transaction (including any financing thereof), at the Issuer’s election, (a) compliance with any requirement relating to the absence of a Default or Event of Default may be determined as of the date a definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into (the “effective date”) and not as of any later date as would otherwise be required under this Indenture, and (b) any calculation contemplated by Section 4.08 or any amount based on any other calculation or determination under any basket or ratio under this Indenture may be made as of such effective date, giving Pro Forma effect to such Limited Condition Transaction and any related transactions (including any Incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the effective date. If the Issuer makes such an election, any subsequent calculation of any such ratio, basket and/or percentage (unless the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction expires or is terminated without its consummation) shall be calculated on an equivalent Pro Forma Basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may at any time withdraw any election made hereunder.

The Issuer will not consolidate or merge with or into, or sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose (collectively, a “transfer”) of all or substantially all of its property and assets (as an entirety or substantially an entirety in one transaction or a series of related transactions) to, any Person or permit any Person to merge with or into the Issuer unless:

Section 6.02 Acceleration; Noteholder Direction.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7) or Section 6.01(8) above that occurs with respect to Parent, the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary) occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25.0% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if such notice is given by the Holders), may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Notes to be immediately due and payable. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest will be immediately due and payable. In the event of a declaration of acceleration because an Event of Default set forth in Section 6.01(5) above has occurred and is continuing, such declaration of acceleration will be automatically rescinded and annulled if the event of default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(5) shall be remedied or cured by the Issuer or the relevant Significant Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 60 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7) or Section 6.01(8) above occurs with respect to Parent, the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Notes then outstanding will automatically become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

111

Any notice of Default, notice of acceleration or instruction to the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, to provide a notice of Default, notice of acceleration or take any other action (a “Noteholder Direction”) provided by any one or more Holders (other than a Regulated Bank) (each a “Directing Holder”) must be accompanied by a written representation from each such Holder delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, that such Holder is not (or, in the case such Holder is DTC or its nominee, that such Holder is being instructed solely by beneficial owners that have represented to such Holder that they are not) Net Short (a “Position Representation”), which representation, in the case of a Noteholder Direction relating to the delivery of a notice of Default shall be deemed a continuing representation at all times until the resulting Event of Default is cured or otherwise ceases to exist or the Notes are accelerated. In addition, each Directing Holder is deemed, at the time of providing a Noteholder Direction, to covenant to provide the Issuer with such other information as the Issuer may reasonably request from time to time in order to verify the accuracy of such Holder’s Position Representation within five Business Days of request therefor (a “Verification Covenant”). In any case in which the Holder is DTC or its nominee, any Position Representation or Verification Covenant required hereunder shall be provided by the beneficial owner of the Notes in lieu of DTC or its nominee and DTC shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Position Representation and Verification Covenant in delivering its direction to the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable.

If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Issuer determines in good faith that there is a reasonable basis to believe a Directing Holder was, at any relevant time, in breach of its Position Representation and provides to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Issuer has initiated litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction seeking a determination that such Directing Holder was, at such time, in breach of its Position Representation, and seeking to invalidate any Default, Event of Default or acceleration (or notice thereof) that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to such Default or Event of Default shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending a final and nonappealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction on such matter if, without the participation of such Holder, the percentage of Notes held by the remaining Holders that provided such Noteholder Direction would have been insufficient to validly provide such Noteholder Direction.

If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Issuer provides to the Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate stating that a Directing Holder failed to satisfy its Verification Covenant, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to any Default or Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending satisfaction of such Verification Covenant. Any breach of the Position Representation shall result in such Holder’s participation in such Noteholder Direction being disregarded; and, if, without the participation of such Holder, the percentage of Notes held by the remaining Holders that provided such Noteholder Direction would have been insufficient to validly provide such Noteholder Direction, such Noteholder Direction shall be void ab initio (other than any indemnity such Directing Holder may have offered the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable), with the effect that such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed never to have occurred, acceleration voided and the Trustee and Collateral Agent, if applicable, shall be deemed not to have received such Noteholder Direction or any notice of such Default or Event of Default.

112

Notwithstanding anything in the preceding three paragraphs to the contrary, any Noteholder Direction delivered to the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, during the pendency of an Event of Default as the result of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall not require compliance with the foregoing paragraphs. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing paragraphs shall not apply to any Holder that is a Regulated Bank; provided that if a Regulated Bank is a Directing Holder or a beneficial owner directing DTC it shall provide a written representation to the Issuer that it is a Regulated Bank.

For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Trustee and Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any Noteholder Direction and any Officer’s Certificate delivered to it in connection and in accordance with this Indenture and shall have no duty to inquire as to or investigate the accuracy of any Position Representation, enforce compliance with any Verification Covenant, verify any statements in any Officer’s Certificate delivered to it, or otherwise make calculations, investigations or determinations with respect to Derivative Instruments, Net Shorts, Long Derivative Instruments, Short Derivative Instruments or otherwise. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any liability to the Issuer, any holder or any other Person in acting in good faith on a Noteholder Direction.

The Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Issuer and to the Trustee, may waive all past defaults and rescind and annul a declaration of acceleration and its consequences if:

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

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

Section 6.03 Other Remedies.

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

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

113

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with an Offer to Purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05 Control by Majority.

The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders not joining in the giving of such direction and may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders (it being understood that the Trustee has no duty to determine whether any action is prejudicial to any Holder). Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it against all fees, losses, liabilities and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

A Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

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

(2) the Holders of at least 25.0% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

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

(4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the provision of indemnity and security; and

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

114

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 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on the Note, 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 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(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 on, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), their creditors or their property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to the Trustee for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 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 7.06 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.

115

Section 6.10 Priorities.

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement):

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.06 hereof, including payment of all compensation and reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of legal counsel), and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, 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 and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10.0% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents, professional advisers and legal counsel.

(b) The Issuer and the Guarantors shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Trustee (including the Trustee’s officers, directors, agents, counsels and employees) against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture and the other Notes Documents, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer and the Guarantors (including

120

this Section 7.06) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its own negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Issuer or such Guarantor shall defend the claim, and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel, and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Section 7.06 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

(d) To secure the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.06, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, particular Notes. Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

(e) Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

Section 7.07 Replacement of Trustee.

(a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.07.

(b) The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by providing 30 days’ prior notice to the Trustee and the Issuer in writing. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if:

(1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;

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

(3) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

121

(c) If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer.

(d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 10.0% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e) If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(f) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall deliver a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.06 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.06 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.08 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act will be the successor Trustee.

Section 7.09 Eligibility; Disqualification.

There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

The Trustee is subject to TIA §310(b).

Section 7.10 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer.

The Trustee is subject to TIA §311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA §311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA §311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

ARTICLE 8

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The Issuer may at any time elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Note 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 shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute such instruments reasonably requested by the Issuer acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(1) the rights of Holders of such outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;

(2) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and Section 4.02 hereof;

(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, immunities and indemnities of the Trustee hereunder and the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and

(4) this Article 8.

Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.

Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer and each of the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15, 4.16 and 4.17 and clauses (3) and (4) of Section 5.01 and Section 10.04 hereof with respect to the

123

outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will 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 will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will 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 will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3), (4), (5), (6), (7) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries only), (8) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries only) and (9) will not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under Section 8.02 or 8.03, respectively, hereof:

(1) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on such outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether such Notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date;

(2) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that:

(A) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or

(B) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law,

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

124

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

(4) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness) and the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings);

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture and the agreements governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which the Issuer or any of the Guarantors is a party or by which the Issuer or any of the Guarantors is bound; and

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

Section 8.05 Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer 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 Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

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

125

Section 8.06 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 on, if any, or interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest, has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request or (if then held by the Issuer) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to 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, will thereupon cease.

Section 8.07 Reinstatement.

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

ARTICLE 9

(10) to mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or grant any other Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders, as security for the payment and performance of all or any portion of the Notes and the Issuer’s and Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture, in any property or assets;

(11) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under this Indenture of any Holder in any material respect;

(12) to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes; provided, however, that (a) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act, or any other applicable securities law and (b) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes;

(13) to supplement any of the provisions of this Indenture to the extent necessary to permit or facilitate defeasance and discharge of the Notes; provided, that the action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders;

(14) provide for a reduction in the minimum denominations of the Notes;

127

(16) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; provided that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code.

Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Sections 7.02, 9.05 and 13.03 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture or other amendment or supplement authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture or other amendment or supplement that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders.

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent (if applicable) may amend or supplement this Indenture (including without limitation, Section 4.09 and Section 4.13 hereof), the Notes, the Note Guarantees and the Security Documents with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Security Documents may be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes).

Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture or other amendment or supplement, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Sections 7.02, 9.05 and 13.03 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture, Security Document or intercreditor agreement unless such amended or supplemental indenture, Security Document or intercreditor agreement directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture, Security Document or intercreditor agreement.

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

128

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer shall deliver to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to deliver such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver.

However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

(1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any such Note;

(2) reduce the principal amount of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any such Note;

(3) change the place of payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any such Note;

(4) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or after the Stated Maturity (or, in the case of a redemption, on or after the redemption date) of any such Note;

(5) reduce the above-stated percentages of outstanding Notes the consent of whose Holders is necessary to modify or amend this Indenture;

(6) waive a default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Notes;

(7) voluntarily release a Guarantor of such Notes other than in accordance with this Indenture;

(8) after the time an Offer to Purchase is required to have been made pursuant to Section 4.09 or 4.13 hereof, reduce the purchase amount or price or extend the latest expiration date or purchase date thereunder;

(9) make any change to, or modification of, the ranking of the Notes that would adversely affect the Holders; or

(10) reduce the percentage or aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes the consent of whose Holders is necessary for waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or for waiver of certain defaults.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as contemplated by the Security Documents (including, without limitation, the Intercreditor Agreement), without the consent of Holders of at least 66-2/3% in the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, no amendment, supplement or waiver may (A) make any change in any Security Document or the provisions of this Indenture dealing with Collateral or application of trust proceeds of the Collateral with the

129

effect of releasing the Liens on any material portion of the Collateral which secure the Notes Obligations or (B) change or alter the priority of Liens securing the Notes Obligations in any material portion of the Collateral in any way materially adverse, taken as a whole, to the Holders, other than, in each case, as provided under the terms of this Indenture or the Security Documents.

Section 9.03 Revocation and Effect of Consents.

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

Section 9.04 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, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

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

Section 9.05 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture, Security Document or intercreditor agreement authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. When approval of Holders is required under this Article 9, evidence of such approval shall be delivered to the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, Security Document or intercreditor agreement, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.03 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture, Security Document or intercreditor agreement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and the other Notes Documents and that such amendment or supplement is legal, valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms. No Opinion of Counsel will be required by the immediately preceding sentence for the Trustee to execute a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit E hereto to cause a Restricted Subsidiary to become a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Sections 4.17 and 10.03 under this Indenture or in connection with the release of a Guarantor pursuant to Section 10.05 under this Indenture.

130

ARTICLE 10

NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 10.01 Guarantee.

(a) Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture or the Notes as against either of the Issuer or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that:

(1) the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, the Notes, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

(2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01.

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture as against Issuer, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder or any amendment with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

131

(c) If any Holder, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid to any of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee.

Section 10.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 10.03 Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.

To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers. No Guarantor shall be required to make a notation or endorsement on the Notes to reflect any Note Guarantee or any release, termination, suspension or discharge thereof.

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.
