The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed, and the Trustee may at any time during the

continuance of any payment default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed.

To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any agency fee or similar charge payable in connection with any such registration of transfer or exchange of Notes (other than any agency fee or similar charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.7 or 9.5) or in accordance with an offer pursuant to Section 4.9 or Section 4.11, not involving a transfer.

(i) Except for transfers or exchanges made in accordance with any of clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 2.6(b), transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, but not in part, to nominees of the Depositary or to a successor of the Depositary or such successor’s nominee.

(ii) Restricted Global Note to Regulation S Global Note. If the owner of a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note at any time wishes to exchange its interest in such Restricted Global Note for an interest in the Regulation S Global Note, or to transfer its interest in such Restricted Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note, such transfer or exchange may be effected, only in accordance with this clause (ii) and the rules and procedures of the Depositary, Euroclear and Clearstream. Upon receipt by the Registrar from the Transfer Agent of (A) instructions directing the Registrar to credit or cause to be credited an interest in the Regulation S Global Note in a specified principal amount and to cause to be debited an interest in the Restricted Global Note in such specified principal amount, and (B) a certificate in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto given by the owner of such beneficial interest stating that the transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Global Notes and (1) pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S or (2) that the Note being transferred is being transferred in a Transaction permitted by Rule 144, then the Registrar shall instruct the Depositary to reduce or cause to be reduced the principal amount of the Restricted Global Note and the Depositary to increase or cause to be increased the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the interest in the Restricted Global Note to be exchanged.

(iii) Regulation S Global Note to Restricted Global Note. If the owner of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note at any time wishes to transfer such interest to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Note, such transfer may be effected only in accordance with this clause (iii) and the rules and procedures of the Depositary, Euroclear and Clearstream. Upon receipt by the Registrar from the Transfer Agent of (A) instructions directing the Registrar to credit or cause to be credited an interest in the Restricted Global Note in a specified principal amount and to cause to be debited an interest in the Regulation S Global Note in such

specified principal amount, and (B) a certificate in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto given by the owner of such beneficial interest stating that the transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Global Notes and stating that (1) the Person transferring such interest reasonably believes that the Person acquiring such interest is a QIB and is obtaining such interest in a Transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or (2) that the Person transferring such interest is relying on an exemption other than Rule 144A from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and, in such circumstances, such Opinion of Counsel as the Issuer or the Trustee may reasonably request to ensure that the requested transfer or exchange is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a Transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, then the Registrar shall instruct the Depositary to reduce or cause to be reduced the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Note and to increase or cause to be increased the principal amount of the Restricted Global Note by the aggregate principal amount of the interest in the Regulation S Global Note to be exchanged or transferred.

(iv) Global Notes to certificated Notes. In the event that a Global Note is exchanged for Notes in certificated, registered form pursuant to Section 2.10, such Notes may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of clauses (ii) and (iii) above (including the certification requirements intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Issuer and the Trustee. A beneficial interest in the Regulation S Temporary Global Note may not be exchanged for a Note in certificated form or transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Note in certificated form prior to (A) the expiration of the Restricted Period and (B) the receipt by the Registrar of any certificates required pursuant to Rule 903(b)(3)(ii)(B) of the Securities Act, except in the case of a transfer pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act other than Rule 903 or Rule 904.

(c) If Notes are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the restricted Notes legends set forth in Exhibit A hereto, the Notes so issued shall bear the restricted Notes legends, and a request to remove such restricted Notes legends from Notes shall not be honored unless there is delivered to the Issuer such satisfactory evidence, which may include an Opinion of Counsel licensed to practice law in the State of New York, as may be reasonably required by the Issuer, that neither the legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Trustee, at the direction of the Issuer, shall authenticate and deliver Notes that do not bear the legend.

(d) The Trustee shall have no responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary, Euroclear and Clearstream, as the case may be.

2.7. Replacement Notes. If a mutilated certificated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note in such form as the Note mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken if the Holder satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee or the Issuer. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Issuer and the Trustee to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Transfer Agent, the Xxxxxxxxx

and any co-Registrar, and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note.

Every replacement Note shall be 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.

2.8. Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.8 as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Issuer or a Subsidiary of the Issuer shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.8(c) hereof.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuer receive proof satisfactory to them that the Note which has been replaced is held by a protected purchaser (as defined in Article 8 of the UCC).

If the Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a Redemption Date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest, payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and the Paying Agent is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

2.9. Notes Held by Issuer. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, Notes owned by the Issuer, any Guarantor or by an Affiliate of the Issuer or any Guarantor shall be disregarded and treated as if they were not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, only Notes which the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgees right so to act with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer.

2.10. Certificated Notes. (a) A Global Note deposited with the Depositary, as the case may be, or other custodian for the Depositary pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of certificated Notes only if such transfer complies with Section 2.6 and one of the following events has occurred (each, a “Certificated Note Event”) (1) the Depositary notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as the Depositary for such Global Note, or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act, and in each case the Issuer fails to appoint a successor depositary, or (2) the Issuer, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of certificated Notes, or (3) an Event of Default, or an event which after notice or lapse of time or both would be an Event of Default, has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes and DTC, acting at the request of its participants, requests that all or a portion of the Notes be issued in definitive form. Notice of any such transfer shall be given by the Issuer in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.2(a).

(b) Any Global Note that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of certificated Notes pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Transfer Agent, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount at maturity of Notes of authorized denominations in the form of certificated Notes. Any portion of a Global Note transferred or exchanged pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be executed, authenticated and delivered only in registered form in authorized denominations and registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct. Subject to the foregoing, a Global Note is not exchangeable except for a Global Note of like denomination to be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee. In the event that a Global Note becomes exchangeable for certificated Notes, payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the certificated Notes shall be payable, and the transfer of the certificated Notes shall be registrable, at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purposes in accordance with Section 2.3. Such certificated Notes shall bear the applicable legends set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

(c) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 2.10(a), the Issuer shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of certificated Notes in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons.

(d) In the event that certificated Notes are not issued to each owner of beneficial interests in Global Notes in accordance with subsection (a) above promptly after a Certificated Note Event, the Issuer explicitly acknowledges, with respect to the right of any Holder to pursue a remedy pursuant to Section 6.6 or 6.7 hereof, the right of any beneficial owner in any Global Note to pursue such remedy with respect to the portion of the Global Note that represents such beneficial owner’s Notes as if such certificated Notes had been issued.

2.11. Cancellation. The Issuer or anyone on behalf of the Issuer upon its instructions at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee, in accordance with its customary procedures, and no one else shall cancel (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act and the Trustee’s retention policy) all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and dispose of such cancelled Notes in its customary manner. Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture the Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

2.12. Defaulted Interest. Any interest on any Note that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and this Indenture (the dollar amount of all such interest due but not paid herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Issuer, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below:

(a) The Issuer may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest (and any interest on such Defaulted Interest, which will accrue at the rate specified therefor in the Notes, to the extent lawful), which shall be fixed in the following manner. 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,

and at the same time the Issuer may deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest; or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. In addition, the Issuer shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, such date to be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the proposed payment date and not less than 15 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment date. The Issuer shall promptly but, in any event, not less than 15 days prior to the special record date, notify the Trustee of such special record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, the Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed payment date of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to be mailed first-class, postage prepaid to each Holder as such Holder’s address appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment date of such Defaulted Interest and the special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to clause (b) below.

(b) The Issuer may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Notes in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment date pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed reasonably practicable.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

2.13. Computation of Interest. (a) All Notes will bear interest from June 1, 2015 or the last date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for at the rates set quarterly pursuant to this Section 2.13(a), payable quarterly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date commencing September 15, 2015; provided, however , in the event that any Interest Payment Date (other than the Interest Payment Date that is the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Notes) would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day. Such interest will be payable to the Holder of the Notes as of the related Record Date.

(b) The Notes will bear interest for each quarterly Interest Period at the Applicable Rate as determined by the Calculation Agent. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year. The interest rate applicable during each quarterly Interest Period will be equal to LIBOR (which shall not be below 0%) on the Determination Date for such Interest Period plus 7.500%. The accrued interest on the Notes for any period is calculated by multiplying the principal amount of the Notes by an accrued interest factor. The accrued interest factor is computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which accrued interest is being calculated. The interest factor (expressed as a decimal rounded upwards if necessary) is computed by dividing the interest rate (expressed as a decimal rounded upwards if necessary) applicable to such date by 360.

(c) All percentages resulting from any calculation of the interest rate on the Notes will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one-hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards ( e.g., 0.567845% (or .00567845) being rounded to 0.56785% (or .0056785) and 0.567844% (or .00567844) being rounded to 0.56784% (or .0056784)), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards).

(d) Promptly upon each determination of the interest rate, the Trustee will notify the Issuer of the interest rate for the new Interest Period. The interest rate determined by the Calculation Agent, absent manifest error, shall be binding and conclusive upon the beneficial owners and Holders of the Notes, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee.

(e) Upon the request of a Holder of the Notes, the Trustee will provide to such Holder the interest rate in effect on the date of such request and, if determined, the interest rate for the next Interest Period.

2.14. CUSIP and Common Code Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP, ISIN and Common Code numbers (if then generally in use). In the case of Restricted Global Notes, unrestricted CUSIP, ISIN and Common Code numbers, as applicable, will be assigned at the time the restricted CUSIP, ISIN and Common Code numbers, as applicable, are assigned, and the Restricted Global Notes will assume such unrestricted numbers in place of the original restricted ones when they become freely tradable on an unconditional basis. The Trustee shall use any such CUSIP, ISIN and Common Code numbers, as appropriate, in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers or codes either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP, ISIN or Common Code numbers.

2.15. Issuance of Additional Notes. The Issuer may, subject to Section 4.6 of this Indenture, issue Additional Notes under this Indenture in accordance with the procedures of Section 2.2. Additional Notes shall have the same terms as the Notes, or the same terms except for the payment of interest on the Notes (a) scheduled and paid prior to the date of issuance of such Additional Notes and (b) payable on the first Interest Payment Date following the date of issuance. The Original Notes issued on the date of this Indenture and any Additional Notes subsequently issued shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture.

ARTICLE 3
REDEMPTION

3.1. Right of Redemption. The Issuer may redeem all or any portion of the Notes upon the terms and at the Redemption Prices set forth in the Notes and this Article. Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of this Article.

3.2. Notices to Trustee. If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.1, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date, the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the paragraph of the Notes pursuant to which the redemption will occur.

The Issuer shall give each notice to the Trustee, which notice may be subject to conditions precedent, provided for in this Section 3.2 in writing at least 15 Business Days before the date notice is mailed to the Holders pursuant to Section 3.4 unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate from the Issuer to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions herein. If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the record date relating to such redemption shall be selected by the Issuer and given to the Trustee, which record date shall be not less than 15 days after the date of notice to the Trustee.

3.3. Selection of Notes to be Redeemed. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not listed on a national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis (or in the case of Notes issued in the form of Global Notes, based on such method as DTC may require); provided, however, that no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Note not redeemed to less than $2,000.

The Trustee shall make the selection from the Notes outstanding and not previously called for redemption. The Trustee shall select for redemption portions equal to $2,000 in principal amount or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Registrar promptly in writing of the Notes or portions of Notes to be called for redemption.

3.4. Notice of Redemption. (a) At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a date for redemption of Notes, the Issuer shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder to be redeemed and shall comply with the provisions of Section 14.2(b).

(b) The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including CUSIP, ISIN) and shall state:

(i) the Redemption Date and the record date relating thereto;

(ii) the Redemption Price and the amount of accrued interest (the actual amount of which may vary pending the determination of the Applicable Rate as of the Redemption Date), if any, to be paid;

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

(iv) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if any;

(v) that, if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount thereof (equal to $2,000 in principal amount or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Note to be redeemed and that, on and after the Redemption Date,

upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be reissued;

(vi) that, if any Note contains a CUSIP or ISIN, no representation is being made as to the correctness of such CUSIP or ISIN either as printed on the Notes or as contained in the notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes;

(vii) that, unless the Issuer and the Guarantors default in making such redemption payment, interest on the Notes (or portion thereof) called for redemption shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;

(viii) the paragraph of the Notes pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and

(ix) any condition precedent to which the redemption or notice of redemption is subject.

Notice of any redemption of the Notes may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be given prior to the completion of and be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, the completion of an offering of Equity Interests, a Change of Control, other offerings or issuances of Indebtedness or other Transactions or events. In addition, if such redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date so delayed, or the redemption may be partial as a result of only some of the conditions being satisfied. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the Redemption Price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing promptly upon the satisfaction or failure of any condition precedent to any redemption or notice of redemption.

At the Issuer’s written request, the Trustee shall give a notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense. In such event, the Issuer shall provide the Trustee with the notice and the other information required by this Section 3.4.

3.5. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or a wholly owned subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) a sum in same day funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption that have previously been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation. The Paying Agent shall return to the Issuer any funds so deposited that is not required for that purpose.

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 Defaulted Interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes.

3.6. Payment of Notes Called for Redemption. If notice of redemption has been given in the manner provided in Section 3.4, the Notes or portion of Notes specified in such notice to be redeemed shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price stated therein (unless such notice of redemption or redemption was subject to one or more conditions precedent), together with accrued interest to such Redemption Date, and on and after such date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Notes at the Redemption Price and accrued interest to the Redemption Date, in which case the principal, until paid, shall bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed in the Notes), such Notes shall cease to accrue interest. Upon surrender of any Note for redemption in accordance with a notice of redemption, such Note shall be paid and redeemed by the Issuer at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Date.

Notice of redemption shall be deemed to be given when mailed, whether or not the Holder receives the notice. In any event, failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of Notes held by Holders to whom such notice was properly given.

3.7. Notes Redeemed in Part. (a) Upon surrender of a Global Note that is redeemed in part, the Paying Agent shall forward such Global Note to the Trustee who shall make a notation on the Security Register to reduce the principal amount of such Global Note to an amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Global Note surrendered; provided, however, that each such Global Note shall be in a principal amount at final Stated Maturity of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(b) Upon surrender and cancellation of a certificated Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Issuer’s expense) a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered and canceled; provided, however, that each such certificated Note shall be in a principal amount at final Stated Maturity of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(d) If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Subject to minimum denomination requirements, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption (unless such notice of redemption or redemption was subject to one or more conditions precedent). On and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

3.8. Optional Redemption. (a) The Notes are subject to redemption, at the option of the Issuer, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on and after June 15, 2016 at the Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of Notes on the relevant regular Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the Redemption Date), if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on June 15 of the years indicated below:

Year	Redemption Price
2016	103.000	%
2017	101.500	%
2018 and thereafter	100.000	%

(b) At any time and from time to time prior to June 15, 2016, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a Redemption Price equal to the sum of (1) 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus (2) the Applicable Premium as of the date of redemption, plus (3) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but not including the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

(c) In addition to the optional redemption provisions of the Notes in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraphs, prior to June 15, 2016, the Issuer may, with the net proceeds of one or more Qualified Equity Offerings, redeem up to 35% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (including increases from Additional Notes) at a Redemption Price equal to 107.500% of the principal amount thereof, plus LIBOR (assuming LIBOR for the period from the redemption date through June 15, 2016 will equal LIBOR in effect on the date on which the applicable notice of redemption is given), plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to but not including the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the Redemption Date); provided that at least 65% of the principal amount of Notes then outstanding (including Additional Notes) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of any such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Issuer or Subsidiaries of the Issuer) and that any such redemption occurs within 120 days following the closing of any such Qualified Equity Offering.

(d) If Holders of not less than 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes accept an Offer to Purchase made in connection with a Change of Control as required by this Indenture (a “Change of Control Offer”), and the Issuer purchases all of the Notes held by such holders, the Issuer will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all of the Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to but not including the date of redemption, subject to the right of the Holders on relevant Record Dates to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date.

ARTICLE 4
COVENANTS

4.1. Payment of Notes. The Issuer covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders that they shall duly and punctually pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and in this Indenture. Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee or the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer or any of its Affiliates) holds, in accordance with this Indenture, funds sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due. If the Issuer or any of its Affiliates acts as Paying Agent, principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the due date if the entity acting as Paying Agent complies with Section 2.4.

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

4.2. Corporate Existence. Subject to Article 5, the Issuer and each Restricted Subsidiary shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect their corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence and the rights (charter and statutory), licences and franchises of the Issuer and each Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to preserve any such right, licence or franchise if the Board of Directors of the Issuer shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries as a whole and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not prohibit a sale, transfer or conveyance of a Restricted Subsidiary or any of its assets done in compliance with the terms of this Indenture.

4.3. Maintenance of Properties. The Issuer shall cause all properties owned by it or any Restricted Subsidiary or used or held for use in the conduct of its business or the business of any Restricted Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and shall cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Issuer may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.3 shall prevent the Issuer from discontinuing the maintenance of any such properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Issuer, desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries as a whole and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

4.4. Insurance. The Issuer shall maintain, and shall cause the Restricted Subsidiaries to maintain, insurance with carriers believed by the Issuer to be responsible, against such risks and in such amounts, and with such deductibles, retentions, self-insured amounts and coinsurance provisions, as the Issuer believes are customarily carried by businesses similarly situated and owning like properties, including as appropriate general liability, property and casualty loss and interruption of business insurance.

4.5. Statement as to Compliance. (a) The Issuer and each Guarantor (to the extent that such Guarantor is so required under the TIA) shall deliver to the Trustee, within

90 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing officers with a view to determining whether the Issuer has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such officer signing such Officers’ Certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Issuer has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in Default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no Event of Default has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or if such Event of Default has occurred, a description of the Event of Default and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. For purposes of this Section 4.5(a), such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice under this Indenture.

(b) When any Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, or if the trustee of, or the holder of, any other evidence of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Subsidiary outstanding gives any notice stating that it is a Notice of Default or takes any other action to accelerate such Indebtedness or enforce any Note therefor, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee within five Business Days by registered or certified mail or facsimile transmission an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Event of Default, notice or other action, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

4.6. Limitation on Indebtedness. (a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur any Indebtedness (including acquired Indebtedness); provided, however, that the Issuer and the Guarantors may Incur Indebtedness (including acquired Indebtedness) if, after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Indebtedness and the receipt and application of the proceeds therefrom, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Issuer’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which financial statements have been delivered to the Trustee pursuant to the terms of Section 4.18, would be at least 2.0 to 1.0.

(b) Subsection (a) hereof will not prohibit the Incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Indebtedness”):

(i) (x) Indebtedness represented by the Notes issued on the Issue Date and (y) other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed, in the aggregate for (x) and (y), the greatest of (a) $300 million less (i) any prepayments of term loans under Credit Facilities (other than the Indebtedness under the Term Loan Credit Facility incurred on the 2022 Notes Issue Date or any refinancing, refunding, replacement, extension, modification or renewal with aggregate borrowings or principal amount not to exceed that incurred under the Term Loan Credit Facility on the 2022 Notes Issue Date) and (ii) any prepayments under any revolving Credit Facility accompanied by permanent commitment reductions thereof, in the case of each (i) and (ii) with the proceeds of an Asset Sale, (b) 30% of Consolidated Tangible Assets and (c) the sum of 85% of the net book value of the accounts receivable of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries and 65% of the net book value of the inventory of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries (the “Borrowing Base”);

(ii) (a) the Note Guarantees and other Guarantees by the Issuer and Guarantors of Indebtedness Incurred by the Issuer or a Guarantor in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; provided that in the event such Indebtedness that is being Guaranteed is Indebtedness that is by its terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or any Note Guarantee, then the related Guarantee shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Note Guarantee, as the case may be, and (b) other Guarantees by non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness Incurred by non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

(iii) Indebtedness of the Issuer owing to and held by any Restricted Subsidiary or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary owing to and held by the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that:

(A) if the Issuer is the obligor on such Indebtedness, such Indebtedness is unsecured and expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Notes;

(B) if a Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the Issuer or a Guarantor is not the obligee, such Indebtedness is unsecured and subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor; and

(C) any event that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary (except for any pledgee of Indebtedness whose Lien is a Permitted Lien until the pledgee commences action to foreclose on such Indebtedness) will be deemed to constitute an Incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that is not permitted by this clause.

(iv) Any Indebtedness (other than the Indebtedness described in clause (b)(i) of this paragraph) and Guarantees in respect thereof, in each case, outstanding on the Issue Date after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of the Notes;

(v) Indebtedness for Hedging Obligations that are entered into for the purpose of fixing, hedging or swapping interest rate risk, commodity price or basis risk, or foreign currency exchange rate risk (or to reverse or amend any such agreements previously made for such purpose) and not for speculative purposes; provided that in the case of Hedging Obligations relating to interest rates, (a) such Hedging Obligations relate to payment obligations on Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred by this covenant, and (b) the notional principal amount of such Hedging Obligations at the time incurred does not exceed the principal amount of the Indebtedness to which such Hedging Obligations relate;

(vi) Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings, purchase money obligations or other payments, in each case Incurred to finance all or any part of the purchase price, lease or cost of construction or improvement of assets or property (other than Equity Interests or other Investments) acquired, constructed or improved, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to Refinance any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (vi), not to exceed the greater of (a) $50.0 million and

(b) 5.0% of Consolidated Tangible Assets of the Issuer, determined as of the date of incurrence of such Indebtedness;

(viii) Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary providing for indemnification, earn-outs, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations (including Indebtedness in respect of letters of credit or bonds securing the foregoing), in each case, Incurred or assumed in connection with the acquisition or disposition of any business, assets or Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than Guarantees of Indebtedness Incurred by any person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or capital stock of a Restricted Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition); provided that, in the case of a disposition, the maximum aggregate liability in respect of all such Indebtedness shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds actually received by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition;

(ix) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument (except in the case of daylight overdrafts) drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that such Indebtedness is extinguished within five Business Days after Incurrence;

(x) Indebtedness arising in connection with endorsement of instruments for deposit in the ordinary course of business;

(xi) Indebtedness constituting reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit; provided that such obligations under any letter of credit are reimbursed within 30 days after the drawing of such letter of credit;

(xii) Indebtedness of any Person outstanding on the date on which such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer or was acquired by, or merged into or amalgamated, arranged or consolidated with, the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness Incurred in contemplation of, as consideration in, or to provide all or any portion of the funds or credit support utilized to consummate the Transaction or series of Transactions pursuant to which such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer or was otherwise acquired by the Issuer); provided, however, that at the time such Person is acquired, either;

(A) the Issuer would have been able to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.6(a) after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Indebtedness pursuant to this Section 4.6(b)(xii); or

(B) after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Indebtedness pursuant to this Section 4.6(b)(xii), the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Issuer’s most recently ended four fiscal quarters for which financial statements have been delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.18 would have been higher than

such ratio immediately prior to such acquisition, merger, amalgamation, arrangement or consolidation;

(xiii) Indebtedness, sufficient net cash proceeds of which are promptly deposited to defease or to satisfy and discharge all of the Notes pursuant to Sections 8.2, 8.3 or 8.5 herein;

(xiv) Contingent Obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors in respect of Indebtedness otherwise permitted under this covenant;

(xv) Indebtedness, including Guarantees, Incurred by Foreign Subsidiaries to fund working capital requirements in an aggregate principal amount that when taken together with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to Refinance any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (xv), not to exceed 10.0% of Consolidated Tangible Assets attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries;

(xvi) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor issued in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to Refinance, any Indebtedness, including any Disqualified Stock, incurred pursuant to Section 4.6(a) and clauses (ii), (iv), (xii), and (xvi) of Section 4.6(b); and

(xvii) in addition to the items referred to in clauses (i) through (xvi) above, Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate outstanding principal amount which, when taken together with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (xvii), including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to Refinance any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (xvii), and then outstanding, will not exceed the greater of (a) $50.0 million or (b) 5.0% of Consolidated Tangible Assets of the Issuer at the time of the incurrence of such Indebtedness; provided, that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all such Indebtedness Incurred by any non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiary shall not exceed $25.0 million.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.6, in the event that any proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories described in clauses (i) through (xvii) of this Section 4.6(b), or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.6(a), the Issuer will be permitted to classify, and may later reclassify, such item of Indebtedness or a part thereof in any manner that complies with this covenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indebtedness under the Term Loan Credit Facility and the 2022 Notes outstanding on the Issue Date will be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by Section 4.6(b)(iv) above and cannot be reclassified.

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred (or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness); provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long

as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced.

(d) The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such Refinancing.

(e) The Issuer will not Incur any Indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer unless it is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes at least to the same extent. The Issuer will not permit any Guarantor to Incur any Indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of such Guarantor unless it is subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee at least to the same extent. For purposes of this Indenture, no Indebtedness will be deemed to be subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor, as applicable, solely by reason of any Liens or Guarantees arising or created in respect thereof or by virtue of the fact that the holders of any secured Indebtedness have entered into intercreditor agreements giving one or more of such holders priority over the other holders in the collateral held by them.

(f) Indebtedness permitted by this Section 4.6 need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 4.6 permitting such Indebtedness.

(g) Accrual of interest, accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and the accretion or payment of dividends on any Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.6; provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof as accrued shall be included as required in the calculation of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Issuer.

(h) If Indebtedness is secured by a letter of credit that serves only to secure such Indebtedness, then the total amount deemed incurred shall be equal to the greater of (1) the principal of such Indebtedness and (2) the amount that may be drawn under such letter of credit.

4.7. Limitation on Liens. (a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) upon any Collateral securing the Notes, now owned or hereafter acquired.

(b) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of their property or assets (other than Collateral securing the Notes) now owned or hereafter acquired, in order to secure any Indebtedness, unless all payments due under this Indenture and the Notes are secured by a Lien on such property or assets on an equal and ratable basis with the Indebtedness so secured (or, in the case of Indebtedness subordinated to the Notes or the related Note Guarantees, senior in priority thereto, with the same relative priority as the Notes shall have with respect to such

subordinated Indebtedness) until such time as such Indebtedness is no longer secured by a Lien.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lien securing the Notes or a Note Guarantee granted pursuant to Section 4.7(b) shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon: (1) the release of all other Liens that require the grant of Liens to secure the Notes or Note Guarantees pursuant to Section 4.7(b), (2) any sale, exchange or transfer to any Person not an Affiliate of the Issuer of the property or assets secured by such Lien (provided that such Lien will be released only with respect to such property or assets), (3) any sale, exchange or transfer, in compliance with this Indenture, to any Person not an Affiliate of the Issuer of all of the Capital Stock held by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in, or all or substantially all the assets of, any Restricted Subsidiary creating such Lien (provided that such Lien will be released only with respect to the Capital Stock and the assets of such Restricted Subsidiary sold, exchanged or transferred), or (4) with respect to any Lien securing a Note Guarantee, the release of such Note Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture.

4.8. Limitation on Restricted Payments. (a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, take any of the following actions (each, a “Restricted Payment”):

(i) declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution with respect to any of the Equity Interests of the Issuer or the Restricted Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary) or to the direct or indirect holders of the Equity Interests of the Issuer or the Restricted Subsidiaries in their capacity as such (other than dividends, payments or distributions (i) payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer, (ii) to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary or (iii) made by a Restricted Subsidiary on a pro rata basis to holders of Equity Interests in such Restricted Subsidiary);

(ii) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary) any Equity Interests of the Issuer held by any Person (other than by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) or any Equity Interests of any Restricted Subsidiary held by any Person other than by the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary;

(iii) make any payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, prior to the Stated Maturity thereof any Indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or any Note Guarantee except (A) in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of such payment, purchase or other acquisition or (B) intercompany Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.6(b)(iii); or

(iv) make any Investment (other than a Permitted Investment) in any Person, unless, at the time of and after giving pro forma effect to such Restricted Payment:

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

(B) the Issuer could Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.6(a); and

(C) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries after the 2022 Notes Issue Date (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (a), (b), (c), (e), (f), (g), (i), (k) and (l) of Section 4.8(b)), is less than the sum, without duplication, of:

(i) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income on a cumulative basis during the period (taken as one accounting period) beginning on July 1, 2014 and ending on the last day of the Issuer’s last fiscal quarter ending prior to the date of such proposed Restricted Payment for which financial statements have been delivered to the Trustee pursuant to the terms of Section 4.18 as described below (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit), plus

(ii) the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Issuer and the Fair Market Value of any marketable securities or other property received by the Issuer since the 2022 Notes Issue Date as a contribution to its common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer and the amount of reduction of Indebtedness of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries that has been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests (other than Equity Interests sold to, or Indebtedness held by, a Subsidiary of the Issuer), plus

(iii) with respect to Investments (other than Permitted Investments) made by the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries after the 2022 Notes Issue Date (including any Investment in an Unrestricted Subsidiary), an amount equal to the net reduction in such Investments in any Person (except, in each case, to the extent any such amount is included in the calculation of Consolidated Net Income), resulting from repayment to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of loans or advances or from the receipt of net cash proceeds from the sale or otherwise in respect of such Investment, or from the release of any Guarantee, except to the extent any amounts are paid under such Guarantee; plus

(iv) in the case of the redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as Restricted Subsidiary (as long as the designation of such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary was deemed a Restricted Payment), the Fair

Market Value of the Issuer’s interest in such Subsidiary at the time of such redesignation (except to the extent any such amount is included in the calculation of Consolidated Net Income); plus

(v) 100% of any dividends received by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer after the 2022 Notes Issue Date from an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, to the extent that such dividends were not otherwise included in the Consolidated Net Income of the Issuer for such period.

(b) Section 4.8(a) shall not prohibit:

(a) any Restricted Payment made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, Equity Interests of the Issuer (other than Disqualified Stock and other than Equity Interests issued or sold to a Subsidiary or an employee stock ownership plan or similar trust to the extent such sale to an employee stock ownership plan or similar trust is financed by loans from or Guaranteed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary unless such loans have been repaid with cash on or prior to the date of determination); provided, however, that the net cash proceeds from such Transaction that are used for such purposes shall be excluded from Section 4.8(a)(iv)(C)(ii);

(b) any purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition, payment or retirement of Indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Note Guarantees made by exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds from the substantially concurrent Incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness that is permitted pursuant to Section 4.6;

(c) any purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Disqualified Stock of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary made by exchange for or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of Disqualified Stock of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that, in each case, is permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.6 and that in each case constitutes Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;

(d) The payment of any dividend or redemption payment or the making of any distribution within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if at such date of declaration such dividend would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture or any dividend or similar distribution by a Restricted Subsidiary to the holders of its Equity Interests on a pro rata basis;

(e) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,

(i) the purchase, redemption or other acquisition, cancellation or retirement for value of Equity Interests of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary held by any existing or former employees, officers, managers, partners, directors or holders of Equity Interests of the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer or

their assigns, estates or heirs, in each case in connection with the repurchase provisions under restricted stock units, stock option or stock purchase agreements or other agreements; provided that such redemptions or repurchases pursuant to this clause will not exceed $1.5 million in the aggregate during any calendar year (with any unused amounts in any calendar year being carried over to the immediately succeeding calendar year subject to a maximum of $3.0 million in any calendar year), plus the amount of any capital contributions to the Issuer as a result of sales of Equity Interests of the Issuer to such persons (provided, however, that, to the extent used under this clause (e)(i), the net cash proceeds from such sale of Equity Interests shall be excluded from Section 4.8(a)(iv)(C)(ii) of the preceding paragraph) plus the net cash proceeds of any “key-man” life insurance policies (provided, however, that, to the extent used under this clause (e)(i), the net cash proceeds from such policies shall be excluded from Section 4.8(a)(iv)(C)(ii)); and

(ii) loans or advances to employees, officers or directors of the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer, the proceeds of which are used to purchase Equity Interests of the Issuer, in an aggregate amount not in excess of $2.0 million at any one time outstanding (without giving effect to the forgiveness of any such loan);

(f) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the declaration and payment of dividends or other distributions to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of the Issuer issued after the Issue Date in accordance with Section 4.6(a) to the extent such dividends or other distributions constitute Fixed Charges;

(g) repurchases of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon the vesting or settlement of restricted stock units, exercise of stock options, warrants, other rights to purchase Equity Interests or other convertible securities or similar securities if such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise price thereof (or withholding, purchases or deemed purchases of Equity Interests to satisfy related withholding taxes with regard to the exercise of such stock options, warrants or other rights to purchase Equity Interests or the vesting or settlement of any such restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units or any similar securities);

(h) the purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Indebtedness subordinated in right of payment to the Notes to the extent required by the agreement governing such Indebtedness (A) at a purchase price not greater than 101% of the principal amount of such subordinated Indebtedness in the event of a Change of Control in accordance with provisions similar to Section 4.11 or (B) at a purchase price not greater than 100% of the principal amount thereof in accordance with provisions similar to Section 4.9; provided that, prior to or simultaneously with such purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement, the Issuer has made the Offer to Purchase as provided for under Section 4.11 or Section 4.9, respectively, of this Indenture with respect to the Notes and

has completed the repurchase or redemption of all Notes validly tendered for payment in connection with such Offer to Purchase;

(i) an Investment (other than a Permitted Investment) either (i) solely in exchange for shares of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer or (ii) through the application of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Issuer) of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer; provided, that the net cash proceeds from such sale of Capital Stock will be excluded from Section 4.8(a)(iv)(C)(ii);

(k) cash payment in lieu of issuance of fractional shares in connection with the exercise of warrants, options or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for the Equity Interests of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, that such payment shall not be for the purpose of evading the limitations of this Section 4.8 (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Issuer in good faith);

(l) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would exist after giving effect thereto, additional Restricted Payments in an amount not to exceed the greater of (i) $35.0 million and (ii) 3.0% of Consolidated Tangible Assets of the Issuer, determined as of the date of such Restricted Payment; and

(m) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would exist after giving effect thereto, additional Restricted Payments in an amount not to exceed $100.0 million if, at the time of the making of such Restricted Payment, and after giving pro forma effect thereto (including the incurrence of any Indebtedness to finance such payment), the Total Leverage Ratio is less than 4.00 to 1.00.

(c) In determining whether any Restricted Payment is permitted by this Section 4.8, the Issuer may allocate or re-allocate all or any portion of such Restricted Payment among Section 4.8(a) through (m) or among such clauses and Section 4.8(a); provided that at the time of such allocation or re-allocation all such Restricted Payments or allocated portions thereof, and all prior Restricted Payments would be permitted under the various provisions of Section 4.8.

(d) If any Person in which an Investment is made, which Investment constitutes a Restricted Payment when made, thereafter becomes a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with this Indenture, all such Investments previously made in such Person shall be Permitted Investments, and for the avoidance of doubt all such Investments shall no longer be counted as Restricted Payments for purposes of calculating the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments pursuant to Section 4.8(a), in each case to the extent such Investments would otherwise be so counted.

(e) For purposes of Section 4.8, if a particular Restricted Payment involves a non-cash payment, including a distribution of assets, then such Restricted Payment shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the cash portion of such Restricted Payment, if any, plus an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the non-cash portion of such Restricted Payment, which Fair Market Value of the non-cash portion, if greater than $20.0 million shall be

determined conclusively by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer acting in good faith and having no personal stake in such Restricted Payment, whose resolution with respect thereto shall be delivered to the Trustee.

4.9. Limitation on Sale of Certain Assets. (a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

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

(ii) at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of:

(D) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (D) since the Issue Date, not to exceed 10.0% of Consolidated Tangible Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value); or

(c) During the 365 days after the receipt of any Net Available Cash from an Asset Sale the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may apply an amount equal to such Net Available Cash at its option:

(i) to repay (a) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, or (b) Notes Obligations as provided under Section 3.8, 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 below for an Asset Sale Offer, an ABL Collateral Asset Sale Offer or a Fleet Collateral Asset Sale Offer, as applicable;

(ii) to purchase Replacement Assets (or enter into a binding agreement to purchase such Replacement Assets); provided that (a) such purchase is consummated no later than the later of (i) the 360th day after such Asset Sale or (ii) 180 days after the date of such binding agreement entered into within 360 days after such Asset Sale, (b) if such purchase is not consummated within the period set forth in subclause (a), an amount equal to the Net Available Cash not so applied shall be deemed to be ABL Collateral Excess Proceeds, Fleet Collateral Excess Proceeds or Excess Proceeds (each, as defined below), as applicable, and (d) if such Net Available Cash is received in respect of Collateral, the Replacement Assets, to the extent constituting Notes/Term Collateral or ABL/Fleet Collateral and not an Excluded Asset, shall be pledged as Collateral; or

(iii) to make an Offer to Purchase as described below.

(d) Pending the final application of any Net Available Cash, the Issuer may temporarily reduce Indebtedness under any Credit Facility or otherwise expend or invest such Net Available Cash in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

(e) An amount equal to any Net Available Cash from Asset Sales of ABL Collateral that is not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in Section 4.9(c) (it being understood that any portion of such Net Available Cash used to purchase or make an offer to purchase Notes, as described in Section 4.9(c)(1) above, shall be deemed to have been invested whether or not such offer is accepted) shall be deemed to constitute “ABL Collateral Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of ABL Collateral Excess Proceeds exceeds $35 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to all Holders of the Notes and, if required by the terms of any Obligations secured by a pari passu Lien permitted under this Indenture (which Lien is not subordinate to the Lien of the Notes with respect to the Collateral), to the holders of such other Obligations (an “ABL Collateral Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase, subject to applicable minimum denomination requirements, the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes and such other Obligations that may be purchased out of the ABL Collateral Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (or, in respect of other Obligations, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such other Obligations), to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. The Issuer shall commence an ABL Collateral Asset Sale Offer with respect to ABL Collateral Excess Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that ABL Collateral Excess Proceeds exceed $35 million by mailing the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee.

(f) An amount equal to any Net Available Cash from Asset Sales of Fleet Collateral that is not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in Section 4.9(c) (it being understood that any portion of such Net Available Cash used to purchase or make an offer to purchase Notes, as described in Section 4.9(c)(1), shall be deemed to have been invested whether or not such offer is accepted) shall be deemed to constitute “Fleet Collateral Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Fleet Collateral Excess Proceeds exceeds $35 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to all holders of the Notes (a “Fleet Collateral Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase, subject to applicable minimum denomination requirements, the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes that may be purchased out of the Fleet Collateral Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. The Issuer shall commence a Fleet Collateral Asset Sale Offer with respect to Fleet Collateral Excess Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that Fleet Collateral Excess Proceeds exceed $35 million by mailing the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee.

(g) An amount equal to any Net Available Cash from any Asset Sale of Notes/Term Collateral or assets not constituting Collateral that is not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in Section 4.9(c) (it being understood that any portion of such Net Available Cash used to purchase or make an offer to purchase Notes, as described in Section 4.9(c)(i) above, shall be deemed to have been invested whether or not such offer is accepted) shall be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $35 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to all Holders of Notes (and, at the option of the Issuer, to holders of any Pari Passu Indebtedness) (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to purchase, subject to applicable minimum denomination requirements, the maximum principal amount of Notes (and such Pari Passu Indebtedness) that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (or, in respect of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness), to but not including the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. The Issuer shall commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceeds $35 million by mailing the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee.

(h) To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness or such Obligations tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the ABL Collateral Excess Proceeds, Fleet Collateral Excess Proceeds or Excess Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining ABL Collateral Excess Proceeds, Fleet Collateral Excess Proceeds or Excess Proceeds for any purpose that is not prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes or such other Pari Passu Indebtedness or such other Obligations surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of ABL Collateral Excess Proceeds, Fleet Collateral Excess Proceeds or Excess Proceeds, the Issuer, subject to applicable minimum denomination requirements, shall select the Notes and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness or such other Obligations to be purchased in the manner described below. Upon completion of any such ABL Collateral Asset Sale Offer, Fleet Collateral Sale Offer or Asset Sale Offer, the amount of ABL Collateral Excess Proceeds, Fleet Collateral Excess Proceeds or Excess Proceeds, as the case may be, shall be reset to zero.

(i) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 4.9, the sale, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, shall be governed by Sections 4.11 and 5.1 and not by the provisions of this Section 4.9.

(j) The Issuer shall 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 an Asset Sale. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the covenant described hereunder, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the covenant described hereunder by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations.

If more Notes (and such other Obligations or Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable) are tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer, an ABL Collateral Asset Sale Offer or a Fleet Collateral Asset Sale Offer than the Issuer is required to purchase, Notes, such other Obligations and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered will be repurchased, redeemed or repaid on a pro rata basis; provided that no Notes of $2,000 or less shall be purchased in part. Selection of such other Obligations or Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, will be made pursuant to the terms of such other Obligations or Pari Passu Indebtedness.

4.10. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. (a) The Issuer will not, and the Issuer will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly enter into any Transaction (including without limitation making any payment to, or selling, leasing, transferring or otherwise disposing of any of its properties or assets to, or purchasing any property or assets from, or entering into or making or amending any Transaction) with, or for the benefit of, any of their Affiliates involving aggregate consideration in excess of $1.0 million (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:

(ii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $20.0 million, the terms of such Transaction shall have been approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer and by a majority of the Disinterested Members (or, if there is only one Disinterested Member, such Disinterested Member), if any, and the Issuer delivers to the Trustee a resolution adopted by such majority or majorities, as the case may be, of the Board of Directors of the Issuer approving such Affiliate Transaction and resolving that such Affiliate Transaction complies with Section 4.10(a)(i).

(v) loans or advances to employees, officers or directors of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in an aggregate amount not in excess of $5.0 million at any one time outstanding;

(viii) Transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of the business of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture; provided that in the reasonable determination of the members of the Board of Directors or senior management of the Issuer, such Transactions are on terms that are no less favorable to the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable Transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person;

(ix) any sale or other issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer to, or receipt of a capital contribution from, an Affiliate (or a Person that becomes an Affiliate) of the Issuer;

so long as such agreement, as so amended, modified, supplemented or replaced, taken as a whole, is not materially adverse to the Holders of the Notes.

4.11. Change of Control. (a) Unless the Issuer has previously or concurrently mailed a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes pursuant to Section 3.4 the Issuer must commence, within 30 days after the occurrence of a Change of Control, and thereafter consummate, an Offer to Purchase for all Notes then outstanding, at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to but not including the date of repurchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date.

The Issuer will (i) distribute such reports and information electronically to the Trustee and (ii) make available such reports and information to any beneficial owner of notes that certifies that it is such a beneficial owner, any prospective investor that certified that it is a qualified institutional buyer (as defined under Rule 144A under the Securities Act), an institutional accredited investor (within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act) or is not a U.S. person (under the meaning set forth in 902(k) of Regulation S under the Securities Act) or any security analyst, in each case, who so requests by sending such reports and information via electronic mail or by posting such reports and information on a non-public web site or Intralinks (or any comparably password protected online data system); provided that the Issuer shall make readily available any password or other login information to any such holder of Notes, prospective investor or security analyst.

(d) So long as any of the Notes remain outstanding, the Issuer shall make available to any prospective purchaser of Notes or beneficial owner of Notes in connection with any sale thereof the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act, until such time as the Issuer has either exchanged the Notes for securities identical in all material respects which have been registered under the Securities Act or until such time as the holders thereof have disposed of such Notes pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.

(e) Any action of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary that would be permitted based on delivery of financial statements to the Trustee, shall be permitted following the Issue Date and prior to the delivery of four full fiscal quarters of financial statements under this Indenture based on the consolidated financial statements of the Issuer for the most recently ended four fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available.

4.19. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, 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 fails 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.

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 Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York for such purposes. The Issuer will 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 office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan as one such office or agency of the Issuer in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof.

4.20. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Issuer and each of the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

4.21. Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee (but without imposing any duty or obligation of any kind on the Trustee to make any such request), the Issuer and the Guarantors shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture.

4.22. Suspension of Covenants. (a) Following the first day (the “Suspension Date”) that:

(i) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from both of the Rating Agencies, and

(ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries , will not be subject to Sections 4.6, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.13, 4.15 and 5.1(a)(iii) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). In the event that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraws its Investment Grade Rating or downgrades the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to in this description as the “Suspension Period.” Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period.

(b) On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness Incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been Incurred pursuant to Section 4.6(a) or one of the clauses of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” under Section 4.6(b) (to the extent such Indebtedness would be permitted to be Incurred 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, such Indebtedness will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.6(b)(iv) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness.” Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.8 will be made as though Section 4.8 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.8(a) and the items specified in Section 4.8(a)(iv)(C)(i) through (iv) will increase the amount available to be made under Section 4.8(a). However, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred on the Reversion Date (or thereafter) under any Suspended Covenant solely as a result of any action taken by the Issuer or the Restricted Subsidiaries, or events occurring, during the Suspension Period.

4.23. Post-Closing Covenant. From and after the Issue Date,

(a) in respect of the Certificate of Title Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) identified on Schedules 14(b), 14(c) and 14(d) to the perfection certificate among the Issuer and the Guarantors (the “Perfection Certificate”), the Issuer shall use (or cause to be used by the applicable Guarantor) commercially reasonable efforts to, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event, within 90 days following the Issue Date, complete the Titling Actions (as defined in the Security Agreement) with respect to such Certificate of Title Collateral then owned by the Issuer or a Guarantor.

(b) in respect of the Certificate of Title Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) identified on Schedule 14(a) to the Perfection Certificate, the Issuer shall use (or cause to be used by the applicable Guarantor) commercially reasonable efforts to, as soon as

reasonably practicable, complete the Titling Actions (as defined in the Security Agreement) with respect to such Certificate of Title Collateral then owned by the Issuer or a Guarantor.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Indenture Documents (including Section 6.1(a)(x) of this Indenture), the failure to create or perfect the liens and security interests of the Collateral Agent in all or any portion of the Fleet Collateral or proceeds thereof shall not at any time constitute a Default or Event of Default so long as the Issuer is then in compliance with this Section 4.23.

ARTICLE 5
CONSOLIDATION, MERGER OR SALE OF ASSETS

5.1. Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets. (a) The Issuer. The Issuer will not, directly or indirectly: (i) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not the Issuer is the surviving corporation), or (ii) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in any Transaction, to another Person, unless at the time and after giving effect thereto:

(i) immediately after giving effect to such Transaction on a pro forma basis (and treating any Indebtedness not previously an obligation of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries which becomes the obligation of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as a result of such Transaction as having been Incurred at the time of such Transaction) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(ii) either:

(A) the Issuer is the surviving entity; or

(B) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made (i) is an entity organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and (ii) assumes all the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes, this Indenture, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents; provided that if such surviving entity is not a corporation, a corporation satisfying the foregoing requirements shall be a co-obligor under this Indenture and the Notes;

(iii) immediately after giving effect to such Transaction on a pro forma basis (on the assumption that the Transaction occurred on the first day of the four-quarter period for which financial statements are available ending immediately prior to the consummation of such Transaction with the appropriate adjustments with respect to the Transaction being included in such pro forma calculation), either (a) the Issuer (or the surviving entity if the Issuer is not a continuing obligor under this Indenture) could on the first day following such four-quarter period Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.6(a) or (b) the Fixed

Charge Coverage Ratio would be not less than such Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio immediately prior to such Transaction;

(iv) each Guarantor, unless such Guarantor is the Person with which the Issuer has entered into a Transaction under this Section 5.1(a), will have confirmed to the Trustee in writing that its Note Guarantee will apply to the obligations of the Issuer or the surviving Person in accordance with the Notes and this Indenture;

(v) (a) the surviving entity (if other than the Issuer) causes such amendments, supplements or other instruments to be executed, delivered, filed and recorded, as applicable, in such jurisdictions as may be required by applicable law to preserve and protect the Liens of the Security Documents on the Collateral owned by or transferred to such surviving entity; and (b) the Collateral owned by or transferred to the surviving entity (if other than the Issuer) shall (i) continue to constitute Collateral under this Indenture and the Security Documents, (ii) be subject to the Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders of the Notes, and (iii) not be subject to any Lien other than Permitted Liens; and

(vi) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, in each case to the effect that such Transaction and such agreement comply with this covenant and that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such Transaction have been complied with;

provided, however, that Section 5.1(a)(iii) will not apply if, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, whose determination shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution delivered to the Trustee, the principal purpose of such Transaction is to change the state of organization of the Issuer, and any such Transaction shall not have as one of its purposes the evasion of the foregoing limitations.

Upon any consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition in accordance with this Section 5.1, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Issuer is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition is made will succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the “Issuer” shall refer instead to the successor Person and not to the Issuer), and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Issuer in this Indenture. When the successor assumes all of the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture by an amendment or supplement to the Indenture satisfactory to the Trustee, the predecessor Issuer (if it separately survives such Transaction) shall be discharged from those obligations.

In addition, the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries may not, directly or indirectly, lease all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, in any Transaction, to any other Person.

(b) The Guarantors. A Guarantor will not, directly or indirectly: (i) consolidate or merge with or into another Person other than the Issuer (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), or (ii) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Guarantor, in any Transaction, to another Person, other than the Issuer or another Guarantor, unless:

(i) immediately after giving effect to that Transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

(ii) either:

(A) the Guarantor is the surviving Person, or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Guarantor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition which has been made (i) is organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (ii) assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under this Indenture, including its Note Guarantee, pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee and (iii) causes such amendments, supplements or other instruments to be executed, delivered, filed and recorded, as applicable, in such jurisdictions as may be required by applicable law to preserve and protect the Lien of the Security Documents on the Collateral owned by or transferred to such entity; or

(B) such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition or consolidation or merger is in compliance, as of the date thereof, with Section 4.9 to the extent applicable (and to the extent Section 4.9 is applicable, the Issuer shall thereafter comply therewith).

5.2. Successor Substituted. Upon any consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition in accordance with this Article 5, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Issuer is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition is made will succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the “Issuer” will refer instead to the successor Person and not to the Issuer), and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Issuer in this Indenture. When the successor assumes all of the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture, the predecessor Issuer (if it separately survives such Transaction) will be discharged from those obligations.

ARTICLE 6

(vii) the entry against the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of a final judgment(s) for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess of $30.0 million (net of amounts covered by (A) insurance for which the insurer thereof has been notified of such claim and has not challenged such coverage or (B) valid third party indemnifications for which the indemnifying party thereof has been notified of such claim and has not challenged such indemnification), by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction, which judgment(s) remain undischarged, unwaived, unstayed, unbonded and unsatisfied for a period of 60 consecutive days;

(viii) the entry by a court of competent jurisdiction of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Issuer or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Guarantors that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Issuer or such Guarantor or group of Guarantors bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Issuer or such Guarantor or group of Guarantors under any applicable law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Issuer or such Guarantor or group of Guarantors or of any substantial part of their respective properties or ordering the winding up or liquidation of their affairs, and any such decree, order or appointment pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law for relief shall continue to be in effect,

(b) If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c) and to the Collateral Agent and each Notes/Term Collateral Agent, notice of the Default or Event of Default within 15 Business Days by registered or certified mail or facsimile transmission specifying such event and, if known, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. Except in the case of a Default or an Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, on the Notes or interest, if any, on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice to the Holders if and so long as it, in good faith, determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Default or Event of Default (other than pursuant to Sections 6.1(a)(i) through (iii)) unless the Trustee Officer has actual knowledge of such Default or such Event of Default or written notice of such Default or such Event of Default has been received by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office. The Issuer shall also notify the Trustee within 15 Business Days of the occurrence of any Event of Default.

6.2. Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(viii) and (ix)) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee at the direction of the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall declare the principal of the Notes and any accrued interest on the Notes to be due and payable immediately by a notice in writing to the Issuer.

(b) If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(viii) and (ix) occurs, the principal of and any accrued interest on the Notes then outstanding shall ipso facto become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

(c) At any time after a declaration of acceleration under this Indenture, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may waive all past Defaults and rescind and annul such declaration of acceleration and its consequences if:

(i) The Issuer or any Guarantor has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

(A) all overdue interest, if any, on all Notes then outstanding;

(B) all unpaid principal of and premium, if any, on any outstanding Notes that has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by the Notes;

(C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest, if any, at the rate borne by the Notes; and

(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee under this Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel;

(ii) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and

(iii) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of amounts of principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes that has become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.4.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

(d) In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes solely because an Event of Default described in Section 6.1(a)(vi) above has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if within 30 Business Days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto, the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(vi) shall be remedied or cured by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary or if the holders of the

relevant Indebtedness have waived such Event of Default or payment default and have rescinded any declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if the rescission and annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Trustee for the payment of amounts due on the Notes.

6.3. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, subject to the restrictions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreements, may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

6.4. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past Default hereunder and its consequences, except a Default:

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

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

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 Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

6.5. Control by Majority. Subject to Section 6.6, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee under this Indenture; provided, that:

(a) the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that the Trustee reasonably believes conflicts with law, this Indenture or the Intercreditor Agreements 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;

(b) the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that the Trustee determines would involve the Trustee in personal liability; and

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

(a) the Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(b) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes shall have made a written request to the Trustee to pursue such remedy;

(c) such Holder or Holders provide the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liability or expense;

(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity;

(e) during such 60-day period, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction that, in the reasonable opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with the request; and

(f) the pursuit of such remedy would not violate the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements.

The limitations in the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.6, however, do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder (as opposed to through the Trustee) for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note.

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

6.7. Unconditional Right of Holders To Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes, 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.

6.8. Collection Suit by Trustee. The Issuer covenants that if default is made in the payment of:

(a) any installment of interest on any Note when such interest becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(2), or

(b) the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Note at the Stated Maturity thereof,

the Issuer shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal (and premium, if any), and interest, and interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installment of interest, at the rate borne by the Notes, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the amounts provided for in Section 7.6 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.

If the Issuer fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, the Trustee, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.

6.9. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.6) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or any Guarantor, their creditors or their property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders at their direction in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make 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 it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.6.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to empower the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

6.10. Application of Money Collected. If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

FIRST:		to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent for amounts due under Section 7.6;

SECOND:		to the Secured Parties (including Holders of Notes) for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes and the other Secured Obligations for principal of, premium, if any, interest, if any, ratably without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes and the other Secured Obligations for principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, respectively; and

THIRD:

to the Issuer, any Guarantor or any other obligors of the Notes, as their interests may appear, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. At least 15 days before such record date, the Issuer shall mail to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

6.11. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder by its acceptance of its Note or any Additional Note shall be deemed to have agreed, that, a court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such 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 Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes or to any suit by any Holder pursuant to Section 6.7.

6.12. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

6.13. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.7, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

6.14. Delay or Omission not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

6.15. Record Date. The Issuer may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders entitled to vote or to consent to any action by vote or consent authorized or permitted by Sections 6.4, 6.5 and 13.4. Unless this Indenture provides otherwise, such record date shall be the later of 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of Holders furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.5 prior to such solicitation.

6.16. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

6.17. Issuer Notice of Default. The Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee annually a statement as to the performance of certain obligations under the Indenture and as to any default in such performance. The Issuer also shall notify the Trustee if it becomes aware of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

ARTICLE 7
TRUSTEE AND COLLATERAL AGENT

7.1. Duties of Trustee and Collateral Agent. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing of which the Trustee has actual knowledge, the Trustee shall, at the direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default of which the Trustee has actual knowledge: (i) the Trustee and Collateral Agent undertake to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture or any other Indenture Document to which either or both are a party and no others and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture or any other Indenture Document against the Trustee and Collateral Agent; and (ii) in the absence of bad faith on their respective parts, the Trustee and Collateral Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed herein or therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee or Collateral Agent, respectively, and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture or any other Indenture Documents. In the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof or thereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and Collateral Agent, respectively, shall examine same to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Indenture or such other Indenture Document (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

(c) The Trustee or Collateral Agent shall not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.1;

(ii) the Trustee or Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by the Trustee unless it is proved that the Trustee or Collateral Agent was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Sections 6.2, 6.5 or 7.1(a).

(d) The Trustee or Collateral Agent shall not be liable for interest on any money received by the Trustee of the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, under this Indenture or any other Indenture Document except as the Trustee or Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Issuer or any Guarantor. Funds held in trust by the Trustee or Collateral Agent need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

(e) No provision of this Indenture or any other Indenture Document shall require the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own respective funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of the duties of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent hereunder or thereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(f) Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee or Collateral Agent be liable under or in connection with this Indenture or any other Indenture Document for indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to lost profits, whether or not foreseeable, even if the Trustee or the Collateral Agent has been advised of the possibility thereof and regardless of the form of action in which such damages are sought.

(g) Every provision of this Indenture or any other Indenture Document relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee and Collateral Agent shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.1.

7.2. Certain Rights of Trustee and Collateral Agent. (a) Subject to Section 7.1:

(i) the Trustee and Collateral Agent may conclusively rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting, upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person;

(ii) before the Trustee or Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, or both, which shall conform to Sections 14.4 and 14.5. The Trustee and Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion. The Trustee and Collateral Agent may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

(iii) the Trustee and Collateral Agent may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or under any other Indenture Document or perform any duties hereunder or thereunder either directly or by or through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any attorney or agent appointed with due care by it hereunder or thereunder;

(iv) the Trustee and Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or by any other Indenture Document at the request or direction of any of the Holders or any other Person, unless such Holders or such Person shall have offered to the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee or Collateral Agent, respectively, against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

(v) the Trustee and Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers, provided that the Trustee’s and Collateral Agent’s conduct does not constitute negligence or bad faith;

(vi) whenever in the administration of this Indenture or any other Indenture Document, the Trustee or Collateral Agent shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder or thereunder, the Trustee or Collateral Agent (unless other evidence be herein or therein specifically prescribed) shall be entitled to receive and may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate;

(vii) the Trustee and Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee and Collateral Agent, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee or Collateral Agent shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer or any Guarantor personally or by agent or attorney and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation; and

(viii) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee and Collateral Agent, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee and Collateral Agent in each of its capacities hereunder or under any other Indenture Document or by any Paying Agent or Registrar and each agent, custodian and other Person employed by it to act hereunder.

(b) The Trustee and Collateral Agent may request that the Issuer or any Guarantor deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of the individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture or any Guarantee, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

7.3. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Registrar or any other agent of the Issuer or of the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and, subject to TIA Sections 310(b) and 311, may otherwise deal with the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Registrar or such other agent.

7.4. Trustee’s and Collateral Agent’s Disclaimer. The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except for the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the

statements of the Issuer and the Guarantors, and the Trustee and the Collateral Agent assume no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent make no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture, the Notes, Liens, Collateral, or any other Indenture Document, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to authenticate the Notes and except that the Trustee and the Collateral Agent each represent that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture and any other relevant Indenture Document and perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of Notes or the proceeds thereof.

7.5. Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after June 1st of each year commencing with the first June 1st after the Issue Date, the Trustee shall transmit to the Holders, in the manner and to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c), a brief report dated as of such reporting period, if required by TIA Section 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Sections 313(b) and (c).

The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee whenever the Notes become listed on any securities exchange and of any delisting thereof and the Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 313(d).

7.6. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee and Collateral Agent such compensation as shall be agreed in writing for its respective services hereunder or under any other Indenture Document. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee or the Collateral Agent upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services respectively. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and out-of-pocket expenses of the Trustee’s or Collateral Agent’s applicable agents and counsel.

The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, hereby indemnify and hold harmless each of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, and their respective agents, employees, stockholders, directors, officers and counsel against any and all loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by any of them without willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith on its part arising out of or in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder or under any other Indenture Document (including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim, whether asserted by the Issuer, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person). The Trustee and Collateral Agent shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee or Collateral Agent to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Trustee or Collateral Agent shall cooperate in such defense. The Trustee and Collateral Agent may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. The Issuer shall not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee or Collateral Agent through the Trustee’s or Collateral Agent’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section 7.6, the Trustee and Collateral Agent shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee and Collateral Agent, in their respective capacities as Trustee and

Collateral Agent, for any amount owing it or any predecessor Trustee or Collateral Agent except money or property held in trust to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on particular Notes.

Without limiting any rights available to the Trustee or Collateral Agent under applicable law, when the Trustee or Collateral Agent incurs expenses or renders services after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(viii) or (ix) with respect to the Issuer or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Guarantors that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), the expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent) and the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Bankruptcy Law.

The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under Section 7.6 and any claim arising hereunder shall survive the resignation or removal of any Trustee or Collateral Agent, the satisfaction and discharge of the Issuer’s obligations pursuant to Article 8 of this Indenture or pursuant to any other Indenture Document and any rejection or termination under any Bankruptcy Law, and the termination of this Indenture.

7.7. Replacement of Trustee and Collateral Agent. A resignation or removal of the Trustee or Collateral Agent and appointment of a successor Trustee or Collateral Agent shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s or Collateral Agent’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.7.

The Trustee or Collateral Agent may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer in writing not less than 30 days prior to such resignation. The Holders of at least a majority in outstanding principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee or Collateral Agent by so notifying the Trustee or Collateral Agent and the Issuer in writing not less than 30 days prior to such resignation. The Issuer shall remove the Trustee or Collateral Agent if:

(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.9;

(b) the Trustee or Collateral Agent is adjudged bankrupt, insolvent or an order of relief is entered with respect to the Trustee or Collateral Agent under any Bankruptcy Law;

(d) the Trustee or Collateral Agent otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee or Collateral Agent resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee or Collateral Agent for any reason, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Collateral Agent. Within one year after the successor Trustee or Collateral Agent takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee or Collateral Agent to replace the successor Trustee or Collateral Agent appointed by the Issuer. If the successor Trustee or Collateral Agent does not deliver its written acceptance required by the next succeeding paragraph of Section 7.7 within 30 days after the retiring Trustee or Collateral Agent resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or Collateral Agent, the Issuer or the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, at the expense of the Issuer, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or

Collateral Agent. Any resignation or removal of the Trustee automatically effects the corresponding resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent; any resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent automatically effects the corresponding resignation or removal of the Trustee.

A successor Trustee or Collateral Agent shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee or Collateral Agent and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee or Collateral Agent shall become effective, and the successor Trustee or Collateral Agent shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee or Collateral Agent under this Indenture and any other Indenture Document. The successor Trustee or Collateral Agent shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders, the Issuer, the Guarantors, and Collateral Agent and each Notes/Term Collateral Agent at the addresses set forth in the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement. The retiring Trustee or Collateral Agent shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee or Collateral Agent to the successor Trustee or Collateral Agent.

If a successor Trustee or Collateral Agent does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee or Collateral Agent resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or Collateral Agent, the Issuer or the Holders of at least 25% in outstanding principal amount of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or successor Collateral Agent at the expense of the Issuer.

If the Trustee or Collateral Agent fails to comply with Section 7.9, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of such Trustee or Collateral Agent and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Collateral Agent.

Notwithstanding any resignation or replacement of the Trustee or Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 7.7, the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under Section 7.6 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee or Collateral Agent.

7.8. Successor Trustee or Collateral Agent by Merger, Etc.. Any Person into which the Trustee or Collateral Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee or Collateral Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee or Collateral Agent hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article 7, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes. In case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee. In all such cases such certificates shall have the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

7.9. Eligibility: Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1) and (5). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. No obligor upon the Notes or Person directly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with such obligor shall serve as trustee upon the Notes. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA Section 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other notes of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA Section 310(b)(1) are met.

7.10. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

7.11. Appointment of Co-Trustee. (a) It is the purpose of this Indenture that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Indenture, and in particular in case of the enforcement thereof on default, or in the case the Trustee deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the powers, rights or remedies herein granted to the Trustee or hold title to the properties, in trust, as herein granted or take any action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that the Trustee appoint an individual or institution as a separate or co-trustee. The following provisions of Section 7.11 are adopted to these ends.

(b) In the event that the Trustee appoints an additional Person as a separate or co-trustee, each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand, cause of action, immunity, estate, title, interest and lien expressed or intended by this Indenture to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Trustee with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vest in such separate or co-trustee but only to the extent necessary to enable such separate or co-trustee to exercise such powers, rights and remedies, and only to the extent that the Trustee by the laws of any jurisdiction is incapable of exercising such powers, rights and remedies, and every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such separate or co-trustee shall run to and be enforceable by either of them.

(c) Should any instrument in writing from the Issuer be required by the separate or co-trustee so appointed by the Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer; provided, however, that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Issuer does not execute any such instrument within 15 days after request therefor, the Trustee shall be empowered as an attorney-in-fact for such Issuer to execute any such instrument in the Issuer’s name and stead. In case any separate or co-trustee or a successor to either shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such separate or co-trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee until the appointment of a new trustee or successor to such separate or co-trustee.

(d) To the extent permitted by law, no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder.

(e) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article 7.

(f) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name.

7.12. Calculation Agent(a) Appointment. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, the Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as the Calculation Agent for the Notes, and the Trustee hereby accepts such appointment as the Issuer’s agent for the purpose of calculating the Applicable Rate on the Notes in accordance with the provisions set forth herein.

(b) Duties and Obligations. The Calculation Agent shall: (i) calculate the Applicable Rates on the Notes in accordance with the provisions set forth herein, and (ii) communicate the same to the Issuer and the Trustee (if the Trustee is not then serving as the Calculation Agent) as soon as practicable after each Determination Date.

(c) Terms and Conditions. The Calculation Agent accepts its obligations set forth herein, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, including the following, to all of which the Issuer agrees:

(i) The Calculation Agent shall be entitled to such compensation as may be agreed upon with the Issuer for all services rendered by the Calculation Agent, and the Issuer promises to pay such compensation and to reimburse the Calculation Agent for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder upon receipt of such invoices as the Issuer shall reasonably require. The Issuer also agrees to indemnify the Calculation Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense (including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim (regardless of who asserts such claim) or liability) incurred by the Calculation Agent that arises out of or in connection with its accepting appointment as, or acting as, Calculation Agent hereunder, except such as may result from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Calculation Agent or any of its agents or employees. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Calculation Agent shall incur no liability and shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Issuer for, or in respect of, any actions taken or suffered to be taken in good faith by the Calculation Agent in reliance upon (A) the advice of counsel or an Opinion of Counsel or (B) written instructions from the Issuer. The Calculation Agent shall not be liable for any error resulting from the use of or reliance on a source of information used in good faith to calculate any interest rate hereunder. The provisions of this clause (i) shall survive the payment in full of the Notes, the satisfaction and discharge or other defeasance of the Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Calculation Agent.

(ii) In acting under this Indenture, the Calculation Agent is acting solely as agent of the Issuer and does not assume any obligations to or relationship of agency or trust for or with any of the beneficial owners or Holders of the Notes.

(iii) The Calculation Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken or anything suffered by it in reliance

upon the terms of the Notes or Indenture or any notice, direction, certificate, affidavit, statement or other paper, document or communication reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been approved or signed by the proper party or parties.

(iv) The Calculation Agent, its officers, directors, employees and shareholders may become the owners or pledgee of, or acquire any interest in, any Notes, with the same rights that it or they would have if it were not the Calculation Agent, and may engage or be interested in any financial or other Transaction with the Issuer or the Guarantors as freely as if it were not the Calculation Agent.

(v) Neither the Calculation Agent nor its officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys shall be liable to the Issuer or the Guarantors for any act or omission hereunder, or for any error of judgment made in good faith by it or them, except in the case of its or their willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(vi) The Calculation Agent may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

(vii) The Calculation Agent shall be obligated to perform such duties and only such duties as are herein specifically set forth, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Calculation Agent.

(viii) Unless herein otherwise specifically provided, any order, certificate, notice, request, direction or other communication from the Issuer made or given by it under any provision of this Indenture shall be sufficient if signed by any officer of the Issuer.

(ix) The Calculation Agent may perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through its agents or attorneys, and shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder.

(x) The Issuer will not, without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Calculation Agent, make any change to this Indenture or the Notes if such change would materially and adversely affect the Calculation Agent’s duties and obligations hereunder or thereunder.

(xi) In no event shall the Calculation Agent be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether it has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(xii) In no event shall the Calculation Agent be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software or hardware) services.

(xiii) Under certain circumstances, the Calculation Agent may be required to determine the interest rates on the Notes on the basis of quotations received from banks or other financial institutions (the “Reference Banks”) selected by the Issuer for the purpose of quoting such rates. The Issuer will provide the names of such Reference Banks from time to time to the Calculation Agent. The Calculation Agent shall not be responsible to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any third party for any failure of the Reference Banks to fulfill their duties or meet their obligations as Reference Banks or as a result of the Calculation Agent having acted (except in the event of gross negligence or willful misconduct) on any quotation or other information given by any Reference Bank which subsequently may be found to be incorrect.

(d) Qualifications. The Calculation Agent shall be authorized by law to perform all the duties imposed upon it by this Indenture, and shall at all times have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Calculation Agent may not be an affiliate of the Issuer or the Guarantors.

(e) Resignation and Removal. The Calculation Agent may at any time resign as Calculation Agent by giving written notice to the Issuer and the Guarantors of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall become effective; provided, however, that such date shall never be earlier than 45 days after the receipt of such notice by the Issuer and the Guarantors, unless the Issuer otherwise agrees in writing. The Calculation Agent may be removed at any time by the filing with it of any instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Issuer and specifying such removal and the date when it is intended to become effective. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the date of the appointment by the Issuer, as hereinafter provided, of a successor Calculation Agent. If within 30 days after notice of resignation or removal has been given, a successor Calculation Agent has not been appointed, the Calculation Agent may, at the expense of the Issuer, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Calculation Agent. If at any time the Calculation Agent shall resign or be removed, or be dissolved, or if the property or affairs of the Calculation Agent shall be taken under the control of any state or federal court or administrative body because of bankruptcy or insolvency or for any other reason, then a successor Calculation Agent shall as soon as practicable be appointed by the Issuer by an instrument in writing filed with the predecessor Calculation Agent, the successor Calculation Agent and the Trustee. Upon the appointment of a successor Calculation Agent and acceptance by it of such appointment, the Calculation Agent so succeeded shall cease to be such Calculation Agent hereunder. Upon its resignation or removal, the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to the payment by the Issuer of its compensation, if any is owed to it, for services rendered hereunder and to the reimbursement of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the services rendered by it hereunder and to the payment of all other amounts owed to it hereunder.

(f) Successors. Any successor Calculation Agent appointed hereunder shall execute and deliver to its predecessor, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Calculation Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of such predecessor with like effect as if originally named as such Calculation Agent hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment of its charges and disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become obliged

to transfer and deliver, and such successor Calculation Agent shall be entitled to receive, copies of any relevant records maintained by such predecessor Calculation Agent.

(g) Trustee Deemed Calculation Agent Upon Certain Circumstances. In the event that the Calculation Agent shall resign or be removed, or be dissolved, or if the property or affairs of the Calculation Agent shall be taken under the control of any state or federal court or administrative body because of bankruptcy or insolvency or for any other reason, and the Issuer shall not have made a timely appointment of a successor Calculation Agent, the Trustee (if the Trustee is not then serving as the Calculation Agent), notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 7, shall be deemed to be the Calculation Agent for all purposes of this Indenture until the appointment by the Issuer of the successor Calculation Agent.

(h) Merger, Conversion, Consolidation, Sale or Transfer. Any corporation into which the Calculation Agent may be merged or converted, or any corporation with which the Calculation Agent may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Calculation Agent shall be a party or to which the Calculation Agent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets or business shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be the successor Calculation Agent under this Indenture without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. Notice of any such merger, conversion or consolidation or sale shall forthwith be given to the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee (if the Trustee is not then serving as the Calculation Agent).

(i) Notice.

(i) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other document provided or permitted hereby to be given or furnished to the Calculation Agent shall be delivered in person, sent by letter or fax or communicated by telephone (subject, in the case of communication by telephone, to confirmation dispatched within 24 hours by letter or by fax) as follows:

or to any other address of which the Calculation Agent shall have notified the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee (if the Trustee is not then serving as the Calculation Agent) in writing as herein provided.

(ii) The Calculation Agent agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, pdf, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods, provided, however, that the Calculation Agent shall have received an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing specimen signatures of such designated persons,

which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Issuer elects to give the Calculation Agent e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Calculation Agent in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Calculation Agent’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Calculation Agent shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Calculation Agent’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Issuer and the Guarantors agree to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Calculation Agent including without limitation the risk of the Calculation Agent acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

DEFEASANCE; SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

8.1. Issuer’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Issuer may, at its option by a resolution of its Board of Directors delivered to the Trustee, at any time, with respect to the Notes, elect to have either Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

8.2. Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.1 of the option applicable to Section 8.2, the Issuer shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to the Notes on the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 are satisfied (hereinafter, “legal defeasance”). For this purpose, such legal defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Notes and to have satisfied all its other obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of Notes to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.8 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the provisions set forth at Sections 2.6, 2.7, 2.11, 4.19 and 8.6, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (d) the Issuer’s right of redemption pursuant to Section 3.8. Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuer may exercise its option under Section 8.2 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.3 below with respect to the Notes. If the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default.

8.3. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.1 of the option applicable to Section 8.3, the Issuer shall be released from its obligations under any covenant contained in Sections 4.4 through 4.16, 4.18 (other than the covenant to comply with TIA Section 314(a) to the extent that such obligations thereunder cannot be terminated) and Sections 5.1(a)(i), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) and Section 5.1(b) with respect to the Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”). For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, the Issuer may omit to

comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby.

8.4. Conditions to Defeasance. In order to exercise either legal defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to outstanding Notes:

(a) the Issuer must irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to the benefits of the Holders of such Notes: (1) money in an amount, or (2) U.S. Government Obligations, which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than the due date of any payment, money in an amount or (3) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient without reinvestment, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee to pay and discharge, the entire indebtedness in respect of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Notes on the Stated Maturity thereof or (if the Issuer has made irrevocable arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) the Redemption Date thereof, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Notes;

(b) in the case of an election under Section 8.2, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (1) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (2) since the date of the Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law (whether by statute or judicial precedent), in either case of (1) or (2) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Notes will not recognize gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to such Notes and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge were not to occur;

(c) in the case of an election under Section 8.3, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such outstanding Notes will not recognize gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and covenant defeasance to be effected with respect to such Notes and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and covenant defeasance were not to occur;

(d) no Default or Event of Default with respect to the outstanding Notes shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit after giving effect thereto (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien to secure such borrowing);

(e) such legal defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all Notes are in default within the meaning of such act);

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

(g) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such defeasance or covenant defeasance have been complied with.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by clause (b) above with respect to a defeasance need not to be delivered if all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable, or (2) will become due and payable at Stated Maturity within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer.

The Collateral will be released from the Lien securing the Notes, as provided under Section 11.4, upon a legal defeasance or covenant defeasance in accordance with the provisions described above.

8.5. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued thereunder when:

(a) either: (1) all outstanding Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or (2) all such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (A) have become due and payable or (B) will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year (a “Discharge”) under irrevocable arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer, and in each such case the Issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds (including money or U.S. Government Obligations) in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes, not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest to the Stated Maturity or date of redemption;

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

(c) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited funds toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the Redemption Date, as the case may be; and

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

8.6. Survival of Certain Obligations. Notwithstanding Sections 8.1 and 8.3, any obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors in Sections 2.2 through 2.14, 6.7, 7.6, 7.7, and 8.7 through 8.9 shall survive until the Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, any obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors in Sections 7.6, 8.7 and 8.8 shall survive such defeasance and discharge. Nothing contained in this Article 8 shall abrogate any of the obligations or duties of the Trustee under this Indenture.

100

8.7. Acknowledgment of Discharge by Trustee. Subject to Section 8.9, after the conditions of 8.2, 8.3 or 8.5 have been satisfied, the Trustee upon written request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of all of the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified in this Article 8.

8.8. Application of Trust Funds. Subject to Section 8.9, the Trustee shall hold in trust cash in U.S. dollars or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article 8. It shall apply the deposited cash or U.S. Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes; but such funds need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

8.9. Repayment to Issuer. Subject to Sections 7.6, and 8.1 through 8.4, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuer upon request set forth in an Officers’ Certificate any excess funds held by them at any time and thereupon shall be relieved from all liability with respect to such funds. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer upon request any funds held by them for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, that remains unclaimed for two years; provided that the Trustee or Paying Agent before being required to make any payment may cause to be published (a) in The Wall Street Journal or another leading newspaper in New York, New York and (b) through the newswire service of Bloomberg or, if Bloomberg does not then operate, any similar agency or mail to each Holder entitled to such funds at such Holder’s address (as set forth in the Security Register) notice that such funds remains unclaimed and that after a date specified therein (which shall be at least 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing) any unclaimed balance of such funds then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. After payment to the Issuer, Holders entitled to such funds must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors unless an applicable law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease.

8.10. Indemnity for U.S. Government Obligations. The Issuer shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any received on such U.S. Government Obligations.

8.11. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply cash in U.S. dollars or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 8 until such time as the Trustee or any such Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such cash or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8; provided, however, that, if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any on any Notes because of 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 cash in U.S. dollars or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

(m) to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act or to comply with the rules of any applicable securities depository.

102

9.2. With Consent of Holders. With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consent obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental to this Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or the Notes or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture, including the definitions therein; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected thereby:

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

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

(iii) modify the obligations of the Issuer to make and consummate an Offer to Purchase with respect to any Asset Sale after the obligation to make such Offer to Purchase has arisen or to make and consummate an Offer to Purchase upon a Change of Control after the occurrence of such Change of Control (including, in each case, by amending, changing or modifying any definition relating thereto);

(v) release any Guarantees required to be maintained under the Indenture (other than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture).

In addition, any amendment to, or waiver of, the provision of the Indenture or any Security Document that has the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral will require the consent of Holders of at least two-thirds in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

The consent of the Holders is not necessary to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, modification, supplement or waiver. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment, modification, supplement or waiver.

9.3. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment, modification or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

9.4. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article 9, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance

103

therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Notes theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

9.5. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment, modification or supplement changes the terms of a Note, the Issuer or Trustee may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note and on any Note subsequently authenticated regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment, modification or supplement.

9.6. Revocation 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 or the Issuer receives written notice of revocation before the date on which the Issuer certifies to such Trustee that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes has consented to such amendment. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder unless it is of the type requiring the consent of each Holder affected. If the amendment, supplement or waiver is of the type requiring the consent of each Holder affected, the amendment, supplement or waiver will bind each Holder that has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note that evidences the same debt as the Note of the consenting Holder.

9.7. Payment for Consent. The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder of Notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid to all Holders that may legally participate in the Transaction, as proposed by the Issuer and is paid to all Holders of the Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend such term or provision within the time period set forth in the solicitation documents relating to the consent, waiver or amendment.

9.8. Notice of Amendment or Waiver. Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture or waiver pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.2 the Issuer shall give notice thereof to the Holders of each outstanding Note, in the manner provided for in Section 14.2, setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture or waiver.

9.9. Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc.. The Trustee shall execute any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9; provided that the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver which adversely affects the rights, duties or immunities of the Trustee under this Indenture. The Trustee shall be provided with, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate, each stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

Following such qualification, to the extent the Issuer is required to furnish to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to TIA Section 314(b)(2), the Issuer shall furnish such opinion not more than 60 but not less than 30 days prior to each September 30.

108

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Issuer and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to comply with all or any portion of Section 314(d) of the TIA if they determine, in good faith based on advice of counsel, that under the terms of that section and/or any interpretation or guidance as to the meaning thereof of the SEC and its staff, including “no action” letters or exemptive orders, all or any portion of Section 314(d) of the TIA is inapplicable to the released Collateral.

In the event (i) that the Issuer delivers to the Trustee, in form and substance acceptable to it, an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel certifying that all the obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the other Indenture Documents have been satisfied and discharged by the payment in full of the Issuer’s Notes Obligations, this Indenture and the other Indenture Documents, and all such Notes Obligations have been so satisfied, or (ii) a discharge, legal defeasance or covenant defeasance of this Indenture occurs under Article 8, the Trustee shall deliver to the Issuer and the Collateral Agent a notice stating that the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders, disclaims and gives up any and all rights it has in or to the Collateral, and any rights it has under the Security Documents, and upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of such notice, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to hold a Lien in the Collateral on behalf of the Trustee and each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall do or cause to be done all acts reasonably necessary to release such Lien as soon as is reasonably practicable.

11.8. Trustee’s Duties with Respect to Collateral(a) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty as to any Collateral in its actual possession or actual control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee under the control of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. The Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee actually selected by and under the control of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent in good faith.

109

Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Indenture or the Security Documents by the Issuer or the Guarantors.

GUARANTEE

12.1. Notes Guarantee. (a) The Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, guarantee, on a senior secured basis, to each Holder, to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and the successors and assigns of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent on behalf of each Holder, the due and punctual payment of the Notes Obligations, Hedging Obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors and Bank Product Obligations, in each case, other than the Excluded Hedge Obligations (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantors further agree that the Notes Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from the Guarantors and that the Guarantors shall remain bound under this Article 12 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation. All payments under such Guarantee shall be made in U.S. dollars.

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unaffected by, and irrespective of, any validity, irregularity or unenforceability of any Note or this Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of any Note or this Indenture, any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Issuer with respect thereto by the Holders, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee, or the release of any security held by any Holder, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor, or any other circumstance which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor (except payment in full); provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification, indulgence or circumstance shall without the written consent of the Guarantors increase the principal amount of a Note or the interest rate thereon or change the currency of payment with respect to any Note, or alter the Stated Maturity thereof. The Guarantors hereby waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require that the Trustee pursue or exhaust its legal or equitable remedies against the Issuer prior to exercising its rights under the Guarantee (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any right which the Guarantors may have to require the seizure and sale of the assets of the Issuer to satisfy the outstanding principal of, interest on or any other amount payable as a Guaranteed Obligation prior to recourse against the Guarantors or their assets), protest or notice with respect to any Note or the Indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that the Guarantee shall not be discharged with respect to any Note except by payment in full of the principal thereof and interest thereon or as otherwise provided in this Indenture, including Section 12.3. If at any time any payment of any Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the

110

Issuer, the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as of the date of such rescission, restoration or returns as though such payment had become due but had not been made at such times.

(c) The Guarantors also agree to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under Section 12.1.

12.3. Limitation of Guarantee. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Obligations of the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor shall be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount which shall not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of 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 under its Note Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount that shall, 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 12, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

12.6. No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 12 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which any of the Holders, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee may have under this Article 12 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

12.7. Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article 12, nor the consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstance.

12.8. Execution of Supplemental Indenture for Future Note Guarantors. Each Subsidiary and other Person which is required to become a Guarantor of the Notes Obligations pursuant to Section 4.14 shall promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in the Form of Exhibit D hereto pursuant to which such Subsidiary or other Person shall become a Guarantor under this Article 12 and shall Guarantee the Notes Obligations. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Subsidiary or other Person and that, subject to the application of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and to the principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity, the Guarantee of such Guarantor is a valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms and/or to such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request.

12.9. Release. A Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released (and thereupon shall terminate and be discharged and be of no further force and effect):

(a) in connection with any sale or other disposition (including by merger or otherwise) of Capital Stock of the Guarantor after which such Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, if the sale or disposition of such Capital Stock of that Guarantor complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture;

(b) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such Transaction) the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary

112

of the Issuer, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the applicable provisions of this Indenture;

(c) in connection with an enforcement action with respect to the Collateral, as provided by the the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement;

(d) if the Issuer properly designates the Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary under this Indenture;

(e) in the case of a Note Guarantee entered into because a Person has Guaranteed other Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, upon the release or discharge of the Guarantee that resulted in the creation of such Note Guarantee or a payment of the Indebtedness supported by such Guarantee, as provided for in Section 4.14;

(f) upon the Guarantor becoming an Excluded Subsidiary; and

(g) upon a Legal Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture that complies with Sections 8.2, 8.3 and 8.5.

Upon any occurrence giving rise to a release of a Note Guarantee as specified above, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence or effect such release, suspension, discharge and termination in respect of such Note Guarantee. Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor will be required to make a notation on the Notes to reflect any Note Guarantee or any such release, suspension, termination or discharge.

12.10. Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by the Issuer and each other Guarantor to guaranty and otherwise honor all Obligations in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 12.10 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 12.10, or otherwise under the Indenture Documents, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the Notes Obligations and the Hedging Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 12.10 constitute, and this Section 12.10 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of the Issuer and each other Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

14.13. Multiple Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. One signed copy is enough to prove this Indenture.

This Indenture may be signed in any number of counterparts each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Indenture. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Indenture by facsimile or electronic transmission shall constitute delivery of an originally executed counterpart thereof.

14.14. Table of Contents, Cross-Reference Sheet and Headings. The table of contents, cross-reference sheet and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not intended to be considered a part hereof and shall not modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.

118

Agent, as the case may be, shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with the accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Indenture or any other Security Document, the terms of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall control; provided that the terms of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement govern and control in the event of any conflict with the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement.

14.18. Secured Obligations Amount. The Issuer shall (a) from time to time upon the request of the Trustee and (b) promptly following an Event of Default (without any further action by the Trustee or the Holders) provide to the Trustee the total amount of outstanding Secured Obligations, as well as any information reasonably requested by the Trustee with respect to Secured Obligations (including, but not limited to, the outstanding amount of each such Secured Obligation, the holder(s) of such obligations, contact information for such holder, etc.). The Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the information with respect to the Secured Obligations, on an Officers’ Certificate furnished to the Trustee by the Issuer. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers as a result of the provision of such information, provided that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute negligence or willful misconduct.

14.19. Third Party Beneficiaries. Each Bank Product Provider shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Indenture and shall have only such rights as specifically are set forth herein.

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]

Senior Secured Floating Rate Note Due 2020

1. Interest

FTS International, Inc. a corporation incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware (the “Issuer”), for value received promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note from June 1, 2015, at the rate (the “Applicable Rate”) equal to the sum of (i) LIBOR (which shall not be below 0%) plus (ii) 7.500%, as determined by the calculation agent (the “Calculation Agent”). Interest on this Note shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.

Set forth below is a summary of certain of the defined terms used for purposes of determining the interest rate payable on the Notes.

“Determination Date” means, with respect to an Interest Period, the second London Banking Day preceding the first day of such Interest Period.

“LIBOR” means, with respect to an Interest Period, the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) for deposits in U.S. dollars for a three-month period beginning on the second London Banking Day after the Determination Date that appears on Reuters Page LIBOR 01 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the Determination Date. If Reuters Page LIBOR 01 does not include such a rate or is unavailable on a Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of four major banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide such bank’s offered quotation (expressed as a percentage per annum), as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Determination Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market for deposits in a Representative Amount of U.S. dollars for a three-month period beginning on the second London Banking Day after the Determination Date. If at least two such offered quotations are so provided, the rate for the Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are so provided, the Calculation Agent will request each of three major banks in New York City, as selected by the Calculation Agent (at the direction of the Issuer), to provide such bank’s rate (expressed as a percentage per annum), as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Determination Date, for loans in a Representative Amount in U.S. dollars to leading European banks for a three-month period beginning on the second London Banking Day after the Determination Date. If at least two such rates are so provided, the rate for the Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of such rates. If fewer than two such rates are so provided, then the rate for the Interest Period will be the rate in effect with respect to the immediately preceding Interest Period.

“London Banking Day” is any day on which dealings in U.S. dollars are transacted or, with respect to any future date, are expected to be transacted in the London interbank market.

A-4

“Representative Amount” means a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 for a single Transaction in the relevant market at the relevant time.

The Calculation Agent will, as soon as practicable after 11:00 a.m., London time, on each Determination Date, determine the Applicable Rate, and calculate the aggregate amount of interest payable on the Notes in respect of the following Interest Period (the “Interest Amount”). The Interest Amount will be calculated by applying the Applicable Rate to the principal amount of the Notes outstanding at the commencement of the Interest Period, multiplying each such amount by the actual number of days in the Interest Period concerned divided by 360. All percentages resulting from any of the above calculations will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point being rounded upwards. All U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent on the U.S. dollar (with one-half cents on the U.S. dollar being rounded upwards). The determination of the Applicable Rate and the Interest Amount by the Calculation Agent shall, in the absence of willful default, bad faith or manifest error, be binding on all parties.

The Trustee will, upon the written request of the holder of any Note, provide the interest rate then in effect with respect to the Notes. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. The Applicable Rate on the Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

2. Method of Payment

The Issuer shall pay interest on this Note (except defaulted interest) to the persons who are registered Holders of this Note at the close of business on the Record Date for the next Interest Payment Date even if this Note is cancelled after the Record Date and on or before the Interest Payment Date. The Issuer shall pay principal and interest in U.S. dollars in immediately available funds that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Issuer by check mailed to the Holder.

The amount of payments in respect of interest on each Interest Payment Date shall correspond to the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Regulation S Global Note and the Restricted Global Note, as established by the Registrar at the close of business on the relevant Record Date. Payments of principal shall be made upon surrender of the Regulation S Global Note and the Restricted Global Note to the Paying Agent.

If a Holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Issuer at least 10 Business Days prior to the applicable payment date, the Issuer will pay all principal, interest and premium, if any, on that Holder’s Notes in accordance with those instructions. All other payments on Notes will be made at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar within the City and State of New York unless the Issuer elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest, with respect to the Global Notes registered in the name of or held by DTC or its nominee and will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by DTC.

A-5

3. Paying Agent and Registrar

Initially, the Trustee will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the Holders, and the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

4. Indenture

The Issuer issued the Notes under an indenture dated as of June 1, 2015 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Guarantors, U.S. Bank National Association as Collateral Agent and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the U.S. Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as in effect on the date of the Indenture and, to the extent required by any amendment after such date, as so amended (the “U.S. Trust Indenture Act”). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the U.S. Trust Indenture Act for a statement of those terms.

The Notes are senior secured obligations of the Issuer and are issued in an initial aggregate principal amount at maturity of $350,000,000. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the Issuer and the Guarantors, including, without limitation, limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, the sale of assets, Transactions with and among affiliates of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries, change of control and Liens.

5. Optional Redemption

(a) The Notes are subject to redemption, at the option of the Issuer, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on and after June 15, 2016 at the Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the Redemption Date), if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on June 15 of the years indicated below:

Year	Redemption Price
2016	103.000	%
2017	101.500	%
2018 and thereafter	100.000	%

“Applicable Premium” means, with respect to a Note at any date of redemption, the greater of (1) 1.0% of the principal amount of such Note and (2) the excess of (a) the present value at such date of redemption of (i) the Redemption Price of such Note at June 15, 2016 (as described above) plus (ii) all remaining required interest payments due on such Note through June 15, 2016 (assuming that the rate of interest on the Notes for the period from the

A-6

date of redemption through June 15, 2016, will equal the rate of interest on the Notes in effect on the date on which the applicable notice of redemption is given) (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to the date of redemption), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, over (b) the principal amount of such Note.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed as follows:

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

(2) if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro-rata basis (or in the case of Notes issued in the form of Global Notes, based on such method as DTC may require).

(d) The Notes may be redeemed in part but only in integral multiples of $2,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. No Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption will be mailed by first class mail, at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date, to each

A-7

Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. Notice of any redemption of the Notes may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be given prior to the completion of and be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, the completion of an offering of Equity Interests, a Change of Control, other offerings or issuances of Indebtedness or other Transactions or events. In addition, if such redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date so delayed, or the redemption may be partial as a result of only some of the conditions being satisfied. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the Redemption Price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing promptly upon the satisfaction or failure of any condition precedent to any redemption or notice of redemption.

(e) If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Subject to minimum denomination requirements, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

6. Effect of Redemption

If this Note is redeemed subsequent to a Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date specified above, then any accrued interest will be paid to the Holder at the close of business on such Redemption Date. If money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued interest on all Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the applicable Paying Agent on or before the Redemption Date and certain other conditions are satisfied, interest ceases to accrue on such Notes (or such portions thereof) called for redemption on or after such date.

7. Repurchase at the Option of Holders

If a Change of Control occurs (as defined in the Indenture) at any time, the Issuer shall be required to offer to purchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of this Note at a purchase price in cash in an amount equal to 101% of the principal amount hereof, plus any accrued and unpaid interest and premium to the date of purchase (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), which date shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date notice of such offer is mailed, other than as required by law. The Issuer shall purchase all Notes properly and timely tendered in the Offer to Purchase and not withdrawn in accordance with the procedures set forth in such notice. The Offer to Purchase will state, among other things, the procedures that Holders of the Notes must follow to accept.

If the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds, ABL Collateral Excess Proceeds or Fleet Collateral Excess Proceeds exceeds $35.0 million, the Issuer must commence, not later than the ten Business Days after the ABL Collateral Excess Proceeds, Fleet Collateral Excess

A-8

Proceeds or the Collateral Excess Proceeds exceeds $35.0 million, an Offer to Purchase, the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds, ABL Collateral Excess Proceeds or Fleet Collateral Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any such Offer to Purchase will be equal to 100% of the principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of the Notes and such other Pari Passu Indebtedness plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date, and will be payable in cash.

8. Denominations

The Notes are in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered, and Notes may be exchanged, as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.

9. Unclaimed Money

All moneys paid by the Issuer or the Guarantors to the Trustee or a Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Notes that remain unclaimed at the end of two years (subject to Section 8.9 of the Indenture) after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable may be repaid to the Issuer or the Guarantors, subject to applicable law, and the Holder of such Note thereafter may look only to the Issuer or the Guarantors for payment thereof.

10. Discharge and Defeasance

Subject to certain conditions, the Issuer at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors under the Notes, the Guarantees and the Indenture if the Issuer irrevocably deposits with the Trustee U.S. dollars or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

11 Amendment, Supplement and Waiver

(a) The Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may modify, amend or supplement the Indenture, the Notes (including any Additional Notes and Guarantees of the foregoing), the Note Guarantees, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents, as applicable, without notice to or consent of any Holder:

(i) to evidence the succession of a Person to an Issuer or Guarantor and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of such Issuer or Guarantor in the Indenture and the Notes;

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

(iii) to add additional Events of Default;

(iv) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of the certificated Notes;

A-9

(v) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture by a successor Trustee;

(vi) to provide for or confirm the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture;

(vii) to add a Guarantor or to release a Guarantor in accordance with the Indenture;

(viii) to cure any ambiguity, defect, omission, mistake or inconsistency;

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

(x) to conform the text of the Indenture, the Notes (including any Additional Notes and Guarantees of the foregoing), the Note Guarantees, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents, as applicable, to any provision of the “Description of the Notes” in the Offering Memorandum to the extent that the Trustee has received an Officers’ Certificate stating that such text constitutes an unintended conflict with the description of the corresponding provision in the “Description of the Notes” in the Offering Memorandum;

(xi) to add to the Collateral securing the Notes;

(xii) to provide for the release of Collateral from the Lien of the Indenture, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents when permitted or required by the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents or the Indenture; or

(xiii) to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act or to comply with the rules of any applicable securities depository.

(b) With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consent obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental to the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or the Notes or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture, including the definitions therein provided, however, that no such Supplemental Indenture shall, without the consent of each Holder affected thereby, may:

A-10

Stated Maturity thereof, or change the date on which any Notes may be subject to redemption or reduce the Redemption Price therefor;

(iii) modify the obligations of the Issuer to make and consummate an Offer to Purchase with respect to any Asset Sale after the obligation to make such Offer to Purchase has arisen or to make and consummate an Offer to Purchase upon a Change of Control after the occurrence of such Change of Control, including, in each case, by amending, changing or modifying any definition relating thereto;

(iv) modify any provision of the Indenture affecting the ranking of the Notes or any Note Guarantee in a manner adverse to the Holders of the Notes; or

(v) release any Guarantees required to be maintained under the Indenture (other than in accordance with the terms of the Indenture).

In addition, any amendment to, or waiver of, the provision of the Indenture or any Security Document that has the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral shall require the consent of Holders of at least two thirds in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

12. Defaults and Remedies

The Notes have the Events of Default as set forth in Section 6.1(a) of the Indenture. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(viii) and (ix) of the Indenture) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee at the direction of the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall declare the principal of the Notes and any accrued interest on the Notes to be due and payable immediately by a notice in writing to the Issuer. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default and shall result in the Notes being due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default.

Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives an indemnity satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may rescind any acceleration and its consequence if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that has become due solely because of such acceleration. The above description of

A-11

Events of Default and remedies is qualified by reference, and subject in its entirety, to the more complete description thereof contained in the Indenture.

13. Trustee Dealings with the Issuer

Subject to certain limitations imposed by the U.S. Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuer, the Guarantors or any of their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
