(x) (1) the Issuer could Incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test described under Section 4.09 or (2) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries would be greater than such ratio for the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such designation, in each case on a pro forma basis taking into account such designation, and

(y) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

Any such designation by the Board of Directors of the Issuer shall be evidenced to the Trustee by promptly filing with the Trustee a copy of the resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the foregoing provisions.

“Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary” is any Wholly Owned Subsidiary that is a Restricted Subsidiary.

“Wholly Owned Subsidiary” of any Person means a Subsidiary of such Person 100% of the outstanding Capital Stock or other ownership interests of which (other than directors’ qualifying shares or shares required to be held by foreign nationals) shall at the time be owned by such Person or by one or more Wholly Owned Subsidiaries of such Person.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuers. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or the holding by any Person of a Note, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 7.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuers, if made in the manner provided in this Section 1.04.

(e) The Issuers may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders entitled to give any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or take any other act, or to vote or consent to any action by vote or consent authorized or permitted to be given or taken by Holders. Unless otherwise specified, if not set by the Issuers prior to the first solicitation of a Holder made by any Person in respect of any such action, or in the case of any such vote, prior to such vote, any 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 prior to such solicitation.

(f) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Note may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents, each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount. Any notice given or action taken by a Holder or its agents with regard to different parts of such principal amount pursuant to this paragraph shall have the same effect as if given or taken by separate Holders of each such different part.

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

(h) The Issuers may fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons who are beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note held by DTC entitled under the procedures of such depositary to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders.

Section 1.05 Limited Condition Acquisition. When calculating the availability under any basket or ratio under this Indenture, in each case in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, the date of determination of such basket or ratio and of any Default or Event of Default may, at the option of the Issuers, be the date the definitive agreement(s) for such Limited Condition

Acquisition is entered into. Any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis, including with such adjustments as are appropriate and consistent with the pro forma adjustment provisions set forth in the definition of Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, after giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had been consummated at the beginning of the applicable period for purposes of determining the ability to consummate any such Limited Condition Acquisition; provided that if the Issuers elect to make such determination as of the date of such definitive agreement(s), then (x) if any of such ratios are no longer complied with or baskets are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such ratio or basket subsequent to such date of determination and at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition, such ratios or baskets will not be deemed to have been no longer complied with or exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted under this Indenture and (y) such ratios or baskets shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or related transactions; provided, further, that if the Issuers elect to have such determinations occur as of the date of such definitive agreement(s), any such transactions (including any incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock and the use of proceeds thereof) shall be deemed to have occurred as of the date of the definitive agreement(s) and shall be deemed outstanding thereafter for purposes of calculating any ratios or baskets under this Indenture after the date of such definitive agreement(s) and before the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, unless such definitive agreement(s) is terminated or such Limited Condition Acquisition or incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock or such other transaction to which pro forma effect is being given does not occur.

ARTICLE 2

THE NOTES

Section 2.01 Form and Dating; Terms.

(a) General. Provisions relating to the Notes are set forth in Appendix A, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The (a) Initial Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication and (b) any Additional Notes (if issued as Transfer Restricted Notes) and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall each be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Issuers, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings or any Note Guarantor is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Issuers). Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof.

(b) Terms. The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited.

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

Additional Notes ranking pari passu with the Initial Notes may be created and issued from time to time by the Issuers without notice to or consent of the Holders and shall be consolidated with and form a single class with the Initial Notes and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Initial Notes; provided that the Issuers’ ability to issue Additional Notes shall be subject to the Issuers’ compliance with Section 4.09. Any Additional Notes shall be issued with the benefit of an indenture supplemental to this Indenture.

Section 2.02 Execution and Authentication. At least one Officer of each Issuer shall execute the Notes on behalf of such Issuer by manual, PDF, facsimile or other electronic signature.

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

A Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, as the case may be, by the manual or electronic signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture.

On the Issue Date, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate and deliver the Initial Notes. In addition, at any time, from time to time, the Trustee shall upon an Authentication Order authenticate and deliver any Additional Notes for an aggregate principal amount specified in such Authentication Order for such Additional Notes issued hereunder.

The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate any Additional Notes, nor will it be liable for its refusal to authenticate any Additional Notes, if the authentication of such Additional Notes will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Notes and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee or if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or may expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders or others.

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

Section 2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent. The Issuers shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes (the “Note Register”) and of their transfer and exchange.

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

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

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

Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The Issuers shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuers in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuers at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Issuer) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Issuer or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to any one of the Issuers, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.05 Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee at least two Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes.

Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange.

(a) The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer and in compliance with Appendix A.

(b) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 or at the Registrar’s request.

(c) No service charge shall be made to a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.07, 2.10, 3.06, 3.07, 3.09, 4.10, 4.14 and 9.05).

(d) Neither the Registrar nor the Issuers shall be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

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

(f) The Issuers shall not be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part or (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

(g) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Issuers may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuers shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(h) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuers designated pursuant to Section 4.02, the Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more replacement Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount.

(i) At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Global Notes or Definitive Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuers shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail, the replacement Global Notes and Definitive Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02.

(j) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile or other electronic means.

Section 2.07 Replacement Notes. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Registrar or the Issuers and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the ownership and destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuers shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuers, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuers to protect the Issuers, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuers and the Trustee may charge for their expenses in replacing a Note.

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

Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes. The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuers or an Affiliate of the Issuers holds the Note.

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

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

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

Section 2.09 Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuers, or by any Affiliate of the Issuers, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Trust Officer of 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 pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is neither of the Issuers or any obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Issuers or of such other obligor.

Section 2.10 Temporary Notes. Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuers may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuers consider appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuers shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits accorded to Holders, or beneficial holders, respectively, of Notes under this Indenture.

Section 2.11 Cancellation. The Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of cancelled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the disposition of all cancelled Notes shall upon the written request of the Issuers be delivered to the Issuers. The Issuers may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that they have paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest. If the Issuers default in a payment of interest on the Notes, they shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01. The Issuers 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 Issuers shall 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 provided in this Section 2.12. The Trustee shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuers of such special record date. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuers (or, upon the written request of the Issuers, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuers) shall mail or cause to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder a notice at his or her address as it appears in the Note Register (and deliver such notice to the Depositary in accordance with its procedures) that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and for greater certainty, 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.

Section 2.13 CUSIP Numbers. The Issuers in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuers will as promptly as practicable notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

Section 2.14 Calculation of Principal Amount of Notes. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes, at any date of determination, shall be the principal amount of the Notes at such date of determination. With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the Holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Notes, such percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of Notes, the Holders of which have so consented, by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Notes then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, Section 2.08 and Section 2.09 of this Indenture. Any such calculation made pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be made by the Issuers and delivered to the Trustee pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate.

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION

Section 3.01 Notices to Trustee. If the Issuers elect to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.07, the Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee, at least five Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be sent or caused to be sent to Holders pursuant to Section 3.03 but not more than 70 days before a redemption date, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (i) the paragraph or subparagraph of such Note and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the redemption date, (iii) the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price.

Section 3.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed or purchased by lot; provided that Notes represented by Global Notes will be selected for redemption in accordance with the procedures of DTC. In the event of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase; provided that for purposes of this Section 3.02, Notes represented by Global Notes will be selected in accordance with the procedures of DTC.

Except with respect to Notes represented by Global Notes, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuers in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof; no Notes of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed or purchased in part, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, shall be redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption. Subject to Section 3.09, the Issuers shall mail or cause to be mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid (or electronically transmit), notices of redemption at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address (or electronically transmitted) or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, except that redemption notices may be mailed or electronically transmitted more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 13.

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

(1) the redemption date;

(2) the redemption price;

(3) if any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of that Note that is to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed will be issued in the name of the Holder of the Notes upon cancellation of the original Note;

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

(5) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

(6) that, unless the Issuers default in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

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

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

(9) if in connection with a redemption pursuant to Section 3.07, any condition to such redemption.

At the Issuers’ request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuers’ name and at the Issuers’ expense; provided that the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least five Business Days but not more than 70 days before notice of redemption is required to be sent or caused to be sent to Holders pursuant to this Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is given in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price (except as provided for in Section 3.07(d)). The notice, if given in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice in a manner provided herein or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.

Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption or purchase date, the Issuers shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuers any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuers in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

If the Issuers comply with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest shall 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 a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption or purchase date 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 shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Issuers to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest accrued to the redemption or purchase date not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01.

Section 3.06 Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part. Except with respect to Notes represented by Global Notes, upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuers shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuers a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed or purchased; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, only an Authentication Order and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Note.

Section 3.07 Optional Redemption.

(a) At any time and from time to time prior to April 15, 2025, the Issuers may redeem all or a part of the Notes at a redemption price, calculated by the Issuer, equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable date of redemption (subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

(b) On or after April 15, 2025, the Issuers may redeem the Notes at their option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed), plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date (subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on April 15 of the years set forth in the table below:


Year	Percentage
2025		102.625	%
2026		101.313	%
2027 and thereafter		100.000	%

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time and from time to time on or prior to April 15, 2025, the Issuers may redeem in the aggregate up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes) with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings (1) by the Issuer or (2) by any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer, in each case to the extent the net cash proceeds thereof are contributed to the common equity capital of the Issuer or used to purchase Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer from it, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount thereof) of 105.250%, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date); provided, however, that at least 50% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes) remains outstanding after each such redemption; provided, further, that such redemption shall occur within 120 days after the date on which any such Equity Offering is consummated upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ notice mailed (or electronically transmitted) to each Holder of Notes being redeemed and otherwise in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture.

(d) Any redemption notice may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including completion of an Equity Offering or other corporate transaction.

(e) Except pursuant to clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 3.07, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Issuers’ option prior to the maturity date of the Notes.

(f) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06.

Section 3.08 Mandatory Redemption.

(a) The Issuers shall not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

(b) If the Notes would otherwise constitute “applicable high yield discount obligations” within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1) of the Code, at the end of the first accrual period ending after the fifth anniversary of the Notes’ issuance (the “AHYDO payment date”), and at the end of each accrual period thereafter the Issuer will be required to make a partial payment with respect to each Note then outstanding equal to the Mandatory Principal Payment Amount (such payment, a “Mandatory Principal Payment”). No partial redemption or repurchase of the Notes prior to the AHYDO payment date pursuant to any other provision of this Indenture will alter the Issuer’s obligation to make the Mandatory Principal Payment with respect to any Notes that remain outstanding on the AHYDO payment date. The Trustee shall have no obligation at any time to determine whether the Notes constitute “applicable high yield discount obligations.”

Section 3.09 Mandatory Offer to Exchange

Upon the issuance of Subsequent Exchange Consideration in exchange for (or the proceeds of which are used to redeem, repay or refinance, as the case may be) Existing Senior Unsecured Notes outstanding after the Issue Date with any of the following features (a “Superior Subsequent Exchange”), the Issuers shall offer to issue Subsequent Exchange Consideration in exchange for any and all of the outstanding Notes on the same terms as such Superior Subsequent Exchange (a “Mandatory Exchange Offer”) if:

(a) the consideration offered per $1,000 principal amount of Existing Senior Unsecured Notes exceeds $800 (which consideration may be comprised of Subsequent Exchange Consideration, any original issue discount, any fees paid ratably to holders of Existing Senior Unsecured Notes subject to such Superior Subsequent Exchange or any combination thereof);

(b) the interest per annum of the Subsequent Exchange Consideration exceeds 7.000% per annum;

(c) the provisions of the Subsequent Exchange Consideration governing optional redemptions, mandatory redemptions, mandatory prepayment and sinking fund payments prior to the maturity of the Notes are more favorable to holders thereof than the corresponding provisions of this Indenture and Notes;

(d) the Subsequent Exchange Consideration has a scheduled maturity prior to April 15, 2030 or includes mandatory redemption, sinking fund, repayment or offer to purchase provisions that provide for the earlier payment of, or a greater premium on the redemption of, the Subsequent Exchange Consideration than the Notes;

(e) the Subsequent Exchange Consideration is issued or guaranteed by any Subsidiary of Holdings (including any Unrestricted Subsidiary) other than Intermediate Holdings, the Issuers or any Notes Guarantor; or

(f) the Subsequent Exchange Consideration has Senior Lien Priority or is secured by assets that do not constitute Collateral.

The principal amount of Subsequent Exchange Consideration to be issued to Holders of the Notes in a Mandatory Exchange Offer shall be determined assuming that each noteholder held a principal amount of Existing Senior Unsecured Notes equal to (i) the principal amount the Notes held by such Holder divided by (ii) 0.8.

Section 3.10 Offers to Repurchase by Application of Excess Proceeds.

(a) In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10, the Issuers shall be required to commence an Asset Sale Offer, they shall follow the procedures specified below.

Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

(c) If the Purchase Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest, up to but excluding the Purchase Date, shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.

(d) The Issuers shall send, by first-class mail (or electronic transmission) at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the Purchase Date, a notice to each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders and, at the option of the Issuers in accordance with Section 4.10, to holders of other Second Lien Priority Indebtedness or Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness.

(7) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuers, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a letter or electronic transmission setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Xxxxxx is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased;

(8) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes, other Second Lien Priority Indebtedness and Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by the holders thereof, as applicable, exceeds the amount the Issuers are required to purchase, the Trustee shall select the Notes (and the applicable agent or trustee will select other Second Lien Priority Indebtedness or Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable) to be purchased by lot (with such adjustments as may be appropriate so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000 or in integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof, shall be purchased), provided that Notes represented by Global Notes shall be selected in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC; provided, further, that the selection of such other Second Lien Priority Indebtedness and Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, shall be made by the applicable trustee, agent or representative pursuant to the terms of such Indebtedness; and

(9) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer) representing the same indebtedness to the extent not repurchased.

(e) On or before the Purchase Date, the Issuers shall, to the extent lawful, (1) accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof validly tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered and (2) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof so tendered.

Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuers to the Holder thereof.

Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.10 or Section 4.10, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.10 shall be made pursuant to the applicable provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall have no duties or obligations under this Section 3.10 with respect to any Second Lien Priority Indebtedness (other than the Notes), Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness (other than the Notes) or to any holder, trustee, agent or representative thereof.

(12) other Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or Preferred Stock of any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary that is Incurred subsequent to the Issue Date and permitted pursuant to Section 4.09; provided that such encumbrances and restrictions contained in any agreement or instrument will not materially affect the Issuer’s ability to make anticipated principal or interest payments on the Notes (as determined in good faith by senior management or the Board of Directors of the Issuer); or

(20) Indebtedness of Foreign Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness Incurred under this clause (20), when aggregated with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness then outstanding and Incurred pursuant to this clause (20), does not exceed the greater of (x) $100.0 million at any one time outstanding and (y) 1.5% of Total Assets at the time of Incurrence (it being understood that any Indebtedness Incurred under this clause (20) shall cease to be deemed Incurred or outstanding for purposes of this clause (20) but shall be deemed Incurred for purposes of Section 4.09(a) from and after the first date on which the Foreign Subsidiary could have Incurred such Indebtedness under Section 4.09(a), and the other provisions of this Indenture, without reliance upon this clause (20));

(21) Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary consisting of (x) the financing of insurance premiums or (y) take-or-pay obligations contained in supply arrangements, in each case, in the ordinary course of business;

(23) Indebtedness issued by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary to current or former officers, directors and employees thereof or any direct or indirect parent thereof, or their respective estates, spouses or former spouses, in each case to finance the purchase or redemption of Equity Interests of the Issuer or any of its direct or indirect parent companies to the extent permitted under Section 4.07(b)(4);

(24) Indebtedness in respect of letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement to support Contingent Obligations of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries arising under the Separation and Distribution Agreement not to exceed $75.0 million (including any refinancing thereof under the Credit Agreement);

(26) Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of Arbitrage Programs in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the sum of (i) $10.0 million and (ii) the aggregate amount of Permitted Investments related thereto from time to time made after the Issue Date; and

(27) Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary assumed in connection with the acquisition of homes and related assets in the ordinary course of its relocation services business, which Indebtedness in each case exists at the time of such acquisition and is not created in contemplation of such event.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock described in clauses (1) through (27) above or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a), the Issuer shall, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09 and the other provisions of this Indenture; provided that (A) all Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement outstanding on the Issue Date (which includes, for the avoidance of doubt, the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the Term Loan A Facility) shall be deemed to have been Incurred on the Issue Date pursuant to clause (1) above and the Issuer shall not be permitted to

later reclassify all or any portion of such Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement outstanding on the Issue Date and (B) the Issuer shall not be permitted to later reclassify or divide all or any portion of the Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to clause (24) above. Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the payment of dividends on Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock of the same class, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.09. Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the Incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this Section 4.09.

In connection with obtaining any commitment (including any commitment existing on the Issue Date) with respect to any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility to be Incurred under Section 4.09(b)(1), the Issuers may, by internal documentation at any time, designate such commitment, in whole or in part (any such commitment so designated, a “Designated Commitment”) as being Indebtedness Incurred on the date of such designation in an amount equal to such Designated Commitment (or, at the Issuers’ option, if such Designated Commitment has been permanently reduced other than as a result of the Incurrence of funded Indebtedness thereunder, such reduced amount), in which case Indebtedness in such amount shall be deemed to have been Incurred on the date of such designation and shall thereafter be deemed to be outstanding Indebtedness secured by Liens for purposes of Section 4.09(b)(1) and any subsequent calculation of the Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio, and subsequent borrowings and prepayments under such Designated Commitment shall be disregarded for all purposes of the covenant described above and Section 4.12 until the date such Designated Commitment is terminated.

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, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first Incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. dollar equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt; 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.

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.

Section 4.10 Asset Sales.

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, cause or make an Asset Sale, unless:

(1) the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by senior management or the Board of Directors of the Issuer) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of;

(2) at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of Cash Equivalents, calculated on a cumulative basis from the Issue Date; and

(3) to the extent that any consideration received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale constitutes securities or other assets that are of a type or class that constitutes Collateral, such securities or other assets are added to the Collateral securing the Notes in the manner and to the extent required by this Indenture or any of the Collateral Documents with the Lien on such Collateral securing the Notes being of the same priority as the other Liens on the Collateral securing the Notes; provided that the amount of:

(A) any liabilities (as shown on the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the notes thereto) of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) (x) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and from which the Issuer and all of its Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing or (y) in respect of which neither the Issuer nor any Restricted Subsidiary following such Asset Sale has any obligation,

(B) any notes or other obligations or other securities or assets received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days of the receipt thereof (to the extent of the cash received), and

(C) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by senior management or the Board of Directors of the Issuer), taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (C) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) 2.50% of Total Assets and (y) $175.0 million 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),

shall be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for purposes of this Section 4.10(a).

(b) Within 450 days after the Issuer’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt of the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale, at its option:

(1) to the extent such Net Proceeds are from an Asset Sale of Collateral, to repay (other than obligations in respect of a Permitted Securitization Financing) (a) First Lien Priority Indebtedness, including First Lien Priority Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement (and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto), (b) [reserved], or (c) Second Lien Priority Indebtedness, including the Notes, (and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto) (provided that if the Issuer or any Note Guarantor shall so reduce Obligations under Second Lien Priority Indebtedness other than the Notes, the Issuer will equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Notes as provided under Section 3.07, through open market purchases (provided that such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all holders of Notes to purchase at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, the pro rata principal amount of Notes), in each case, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuers or an Affiliate of the Issuers,

(2) to the extent such Net Proceeds are from an Asset Sale of assets or property that do not constitute Collateral, to repay (other than obligations in respect of a Permitted Securitization Financing) (a) First Lien Priority Indebtedness, including First Lien Priority Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement (and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto), (b) Indebtedness of a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, (c) Second Lien Priority Indebtedness, including the Notes (and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto) (provided that if the Issuers or any Note Guarantor shall so reduce Obligations under Second Lien Priority Indebtedness other than the Notes, the Issuers will equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Notes as provided under Section 3.07, through open market purchases (provided that such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders of Notes to purchase at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, the pro rata principal amount of Notes), (d) other Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness (provided that if the Issuer or any Note Guarantor shall so reduce Obligations under such other Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness, the Issuer will equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Notes as provided in Section 3.07 through open market purchases (provided that such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders of Notes to purchase at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, the pro rata principal amount of the Notes), or (e) other Indebtedness secured by a Lien on such assets, in each case, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuers or an Affiliate of the Issuers,

(3) to make an investment in any one or more businesses (provided that if such investment is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock of a Person, such acquisition results in such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary), assets, property or capital expenditures, in each case (a) used or useful in a Similar Business or (b) that replace the properties and assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale; provided that to the extent that the assets disposed of in such Asset Sale were Collateral, such Capital Stock, assets or properties are pledged as Collateral under this Indenture and the Collateral Documents as required thereby with the Lien on such Collateral securing the Notes being of the same priority with respect to the Notes as the Lien on the assets disposed of in the Asset Sale, or

(4) any combination of the foregoing.

In the case of clause (3) of this Section 4.10(b), a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment; provided that in the event such binding commitment is later canceled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are so applied, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary may satisfy its obligation as to any Net Proceeds by entering into another binding commitment within nine months of such cancellation or termination of the prior binding commitment; provided, further, that the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary may only enter into such a commitment under the foregoing provision one time with respect to each Asset Sale. Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility, if any, or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. Subject to the requirements of the Intercreditor Agreement, any Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale that are not applied as provided and within the time period set forth in the first sentence of this Section 4.10(b) (it being understood that any portion of such Net Proceeds used to make an offer to purchase Notes, as described in clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 4.10(b), shall be deemed to have been invested within the meaning of the prior sentence whether or not such offer is accepted) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $30.0 million, the Issuers shall make an offer to all Holders of Notes (and, at the option of the Issuers, to holders of any Second Lien Priority Indebtedness or, in the case of an Asset Sale of assets that are not Collateral, to holders of other Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness) (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes (and such Second Lien Priority Indebtedness or Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable), that is at least $2,000 and an integral multiple of $1.00 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 (or, in the event such Second Lien Priority Indebtedness or Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, was issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest (or, in respect of such Second Lien Priority Indebtedness or Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Indebtedness), to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture or the agreements governing the Second Lien Priority Indebtedness or Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable. The Issuers shall commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceeds $30.0 million by mailing or electronically transmitting the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes (and such Second Lien Priority Indebtedness or Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable) tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess

Proceeds, the Issuers may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes or any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes (and such Second Lien Priority Indebtedness or Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable) surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes (and the applicable agent or trustee shall select such other Second Lien Priority Indebtedness or Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable) to be purchased in the manner described in Section 3.09. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

(c) The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuers will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof. The Issuers may rely on any no action letters issued by the SEC indicating that the staff of the SEC will not recommend enforcement action in the event a tender offer satisfies certain conditions.

(d) The provisions under this Indenture relating to the Issuers’ obligation to make an Asset Sale Offer may be waived or modified with the written consent of a majority in principal amount of the Notes.

Section 4.11 Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction or series of transactions, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Issuer (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of $20.0 million, unless:

(1) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

(2) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $60.0 million, the Issuer delivers to the Trustee a resolution adopted in good faith by the majority of the Board of Directors of the Issuer approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) of this Section 4.11(a).

(b) The provisions of Section 4.11(a) shall not apply to the following:

(1) transactions between or among the Issuer and/or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries and any merger of the Issuer and any direct parent of the Issuer; provided that at the time of such merger such parent shall have no material liabilities and no material assets other than cash, Cash Equivalents and the Capital Stock of the Issuer and such merger is otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture and effected for a bona fide business purpose;

(2) Restricted Payments permitted by Section 4.07 and the definition of “Permitted Investments”;

(7) payments or loans (or cancellation of loans) to directors, officers, employees or consultants that are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the Issuer in good faith;

(8) any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date or any amendment thereto (so long as any such agreement together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, is not more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date) or any transaction contemplated thereby as determined in good faith by senior management or the Board of Directors of the Issuer;

(9) the existence of, or the performance by the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of any stockholders agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it is a party as of the Issue Date, and any amendment thereto or similar agreements that it may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that the existence of, or the performance by the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under, any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Issue Date shall only be permitted by this clause (9) to the extent that the terms of any such existing agreement together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, or any such new agreement are not otherwise more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date;

(10) guarantees of Indebtedness of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09 by any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer;

(11) transactions with joint ventures, customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services or equipment, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture, which are fair to the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors or the senior management of the Issuer, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party;

(12) transactions pursuant to any Permitted Securitization Financing;

(13) the issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer to any Person;

(14) the issuances of securities or the making of other payments, loans (or cancellation of loans), awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of or the entering into of, employment agreements or arrangements (including severance or termination provisions), stock option and stock ownership plans or similar employee benefit plans approved by the Board of Directors of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer or of a Restricted Subsidiary, as appropriate, in good faith;

(15) the entering into of any tax sharing agreement or arrangement and any Tax Distributions;

(16) any contribution to the capital of the Issuer;

(17) transactions permitted by, and complying with, the provisions of Section 5.01;

(18) transactions between the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries and any Person, a director of which is also a director of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer; provided, however, that such director abstains from voting as a director of the Issuer or such direct or indirect parent, as the case may be, on any matter involving such other Person;

(19) pledges of Equity Interests of Unrestricted Subsidiaries; and

(20) intercompany transactions undertaken in good faith (as certified by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuer in an Officer’s Certificate) for the purpose of improving the consolidated tax efficiency of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries and not for the purpose of circumventing any covenant set forth in this Indenture.

Section 4.12 Liens. The Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, Incur or suffer to exist any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on any asset or property of the Issuers or such Restricted Subsidiary securing Indebtedness. In addition, if the Issuer, Intermediate Holdings or any Note Guarantor, directly or indirectly, creates, incurs or suffers to exist any Lien securing any First Lien Priority Indebtedness (other than any cash granted or otherwise pledged to secure reimbursement and other obligations with respect to letters of credit and similar instruments constituting First Lien Priority Indebtedness, which cash does not secure any other First Lien Priority Indebtedness), Second Lien Priority Indebtedness or Junior Lien Collateral Indebtedness, the Issuer, Intermediate Holdings or such Note Guarantor, as the case may be, must concurrently xxxxx x Xxxx (subject to Permitted Liens) upon such asset or property as security for the Notes, the Intermediate Holdings Guarantee and the Note Guarantees, with the Lien upon such asset or property being of the same priority as the other Liens on the Collateral securing the Notes.

Section 4.13 Existence. Subject to Article 5, the Issuer shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its legal existence and the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided that the Issuer shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than the Co-Issuer), if the Issuer in good faith shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Section 4.14 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control.

(a) Upon a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right to require the Issuers to repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), in accordance with the terms contemplated in this Section 4.14; provided, however, that notwithstanding the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Issuers shall not be obligated to purchase any Notes pursuant to this Section 4.14 in the event that the Issuers have exercised their right to redeem such Notes in accordance with Section 3.07 of this Indenture. In the event that at the time of such Change of Control the terms of the Bank Indebtedness and/or other Secured Indebtedness restrict or prohibit the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.14, then prior to the mailing or transmission of the notice to the Holders provided for in Section 4.14(b) but in any event within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuers shall (i) repay in full all Bank Indebtedness and/or other Secured Indebtedness or, if doing so will allow the purchase of Notes, offer to repay in full all Bank Indebtedness and/or other Secured Indebtedness and repay the Bank Indebtedness and/or other Secured Indebtedness of each lender who has accepted such offer, or (ii) obtain the requisite consent under the agreements governing the Bank Indebtedness and/or other Secured Indebtedness to permit the repurchase of the Notes as provided for in Section 4.14(b).

(b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control, except to the extent that the Issuers have exercised their right to redeem the Notes in accordance with Section 3.07 of this Indenture, the Issuers shall mail or electronically transmit a notice (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to the address of such Holder appearing in the Note Register with a copy to the Trustee, or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, with the following information:

(1) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Issuers to repurchase such Holder’s Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on a Record Date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date);

(2) the circumstances and relevant facts and financial information regarding such Change of Control;

(3) the repurchase price and the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or electronically transmitted) (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(4) that any Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest;

(5) that unless the Issuers default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date;

(6) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Notes completed, to the Paying Agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

(7) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to require the Issuers to purchase such Notes; provided that the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the 30th day following the date of the Change of Control notice, an electronic or facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder of the Notes, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes purchased;

(8) that if the Issuers are redeeming less than all of the Notes, the Holders of the remaining Notes will be issued new Notes and such new Notes will be equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered; the unpurchased portion of the Notes must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof; and

(9) the other instructions, as determined by the Issuers, consistent with this Section 4.14, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes purchased.

The notice, if mailed or electronically transmitted in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice.

If (a) the notice is mailed or electronically transmitted in a manner herein provided and (b) any Holder fails to receive such notice or a Holder receives such notice but it is defective, such Holder’s failure to receive such notice or such defect shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Notes as to all other Holders that properly received such notice without defect. The Issuers shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under this Indenture by virtue thereof.

(1) accept for payment all Notes issued by them or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and

(3) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that such Notes or portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Issuers.

(d) The Issuers shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 4.14 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuers and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.

(e) If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Issuers, or any other Person making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuers, purchase all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuers shall have the right, upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the date of redemption, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date.

(f) Notes repurchased by the Issuers pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will have the status of Notes issued but not outstanding or will be retired and canceled at the option of the Issuers.

(g) Other than as specifically provided in this Section 4.14, any purchase pursuant to this Section 4.14 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.05 and 3.06.

Section 4.15 Future Note Guarantors. Holdings shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than the Co-Issuer) that is a Domestic Subsidiary (unless such Subsidiary is already a Note Guarantor, or is a Special Purpose Securitization Subsidiary, an Insurance Subsidiary, a Qualified CFC Holding Company or a Domestic Subsidiary that is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of one or more Foreign Subsidiaries) that (a) guarantees any Indebtedness of the Issuers or any of the Note Guarantors on the Issue Date or at any time thereafter, or (b) Incurs or guarantees any Indebtedness, or issues any shares of Disqualified Stock, that is permitted to be Incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.09(b)(1) to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary will become a Note Guarantor.

Each Note Guarantee will be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by that Restricted Subsidiary without rendering the Note Guarantee, as it relates to such Restricted Subsidiary, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

In addition, such Restricted Subsidiary shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that:

(1) such Note Guarantee has been duly executed and authorized; and

(2) such Note Guarantee constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary, except insofar as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers) and except insofar as enforcement thereof is subject to general principles of equity.

Each Restricted Subsidiary that becomes a Note Guarantor on or after the Issue Date, will also become a party to the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and will as promptly as practicable execute and deliver such security instruments, financing statements, Mortgages, title insurance policies and certificates and opinions of counsel (to the extent, and substantially in the form, delivered on the Issue Date or on the date first delivered in the case of Mortgages (but no greater scope)) as may be necessary to vest and perfect in favor of the Collateral Agent a second-priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in the properties and assets of such Restricted Subsidiary of the type constituting Collateral, in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Collateral Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and this Indenture as security for the Notes or the Note Guarantees, and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such properties and assets to the same extent and with the same force and effect.

Each Note Guarantee shall be released in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06. Upon the release of any Note Guarantor from its Note Guarantee, the Liens granted by such Note Guarantor under the Collateral Documents will also be automatically released and, subject to receipt of the Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel complying with the provisions of Sections 15.02 and 15.03, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent will execute such documents confirming such release as the Issuer or such Note Guarantor may request (such documents to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and Collateral Agent).

Section 4.16 Limitation on Activities of the Co-Issuer and Intermediate Holdings.

(a) The Co-Issuer shall not hold any material assets, be liable for any material obligations or engage in any significant business activities; provided that the Co-Issuer may be a co-obligor with respect to Indebtedness if the Issuer is a primary obligor of such Indebtedness, the net proceeds of such Indebtedness are received by the Issuer and such Indebtedness is incurred in compliance with Section 4.09.

(b) Intermediate Holdings (i) shall not create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien (other than certain Permitted Liens) on any of the Equity Interests issued by the Issuers and (ii) shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its legal existence; provided, that so long as no Default exists or would result therefrom, Intermediate Holdings may merge with any other person in compliance with Section 5.01.

Section 4.17 Suspension of Certain Covenants.

(a) Following the first day (the “Suspension Date”) that:

(1) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies, and the Issuer has delivered written notice of such Investment Grade Ratings to the Trustee, and

(2) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture,

then, beginning on that date, the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10 (but only with respect to Asset Sales of non-Collateral), 4.11, 4.14 and 4.15 (but only with respect to any Person that is required to become a Note Guarantor after the date of the commencement of the applicable Suspension Date) and Section 5.01(a)(4) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”).

(b) In the event that the Issuer and the 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”) (1) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating and/or (2) the Issuer or any of its Affiliates enters into an agreement to effect a transaction that would result in a Change of Control and one or more of the Rating Agencies indicate that if consummated, such transaction (alone or together with any related recapitalization or refinancing transactions) would cause such Rating Agency to withdraw its Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the ratings assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events, including, without limitation, a proposed transaction described in clause (2) of this paragraph (b). The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.”

(c) Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period. During any Suspension Period, the Issuer may not designate any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary unless the Issuer would have been permitted to designate such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if a Suspension Period had not been in effect for any period.

(d) On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness Incurred during the Suspension Period shall be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.09(b)(3). For the purposes of Section 4.15, all Indebtedness Incurred during the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date by any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary will be deemed to have been Incurred on the Reversion Date. Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 shall be made as though Section 4.07 had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period shall reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a). For purposes of determining compliance with Section 4.10 on the Reversion Date, the Net Proceeds from all Asset Sales not applied in accordance with Section 4.10 shall be deemed to be reset to zero.

(9) Intermediate Holdings’ guarantee of the Notes or any Note Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms thereof) or Intermediate Holdings or any Note Guarantor that qualifies as a Significant Subsidiary (or one or more Note Guarantors that, taken together as of the date of the most recent audited financial statements of the Issuer, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) denies or disaffirms its obligations under this Indenture, the Intermediate Holdings Guarantee or any Note Guarantees and such Default continues for 10 days after the notice specified below, or

(10) with respect to any material portion of the Collateral, (A) the security interest under the Collateral Documents, at any time, ceases to be a valid and perfected Lien (perfected as or having the priority required by the Collateral Documents, any applicable intercreditor agreement and this Indenture) and in full force and effect for any reason other than in accordance with their terms and the terms of this Indenture and other than the satisfaction in full of all obligations under this Indenture and discharge of this Indenture, except to the extent that any such loss of perfection or priority results from the limitations of foreign laws, rules and regulations as they apply to pledges of Equity Interests in Foreign Subsidiaries or the application thereof, or from the failure of the Collateral Agent (or the Controlling First Lien Collateral Agent) to maintain possession of certificates or instruments actually delivered to it representing securities pledged under the Collateral Documents and except to the extent that such loss is covered by a lender’s title insurance policy substantially similar to the one delivered in connection with the First Lien Priority Indebtedness or (B) the Issuer, Intermediate Holdings or any Note Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary asserts, in any pleading in any court of competent jurisdiction, that any such security interest is invalid or unenforceable and, in the case of Intermediate Holdings or any such Note Guarantor, the Issuer fails to cause Intermediate Holdings or such Note Guarantor to rescind such assertion within 30 days after the Issuer has knowledge of such assertion.

A Default under clause (4) above shall not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Issuer or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Issuer (and the Trustee, if such notice is given by the Holders) of the Default and the Issuer does not cure such Default within the time specified in clause (4) above after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.”

The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within thirty (30) days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any event which is, or with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default, its status and what action the Issuers are taking or propose to take with respect thereto.

101

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a notice of any Default may not be given with respect to any action taken, and reported publicly or to Holders in reasonable detail and good faith, more than two years prior to such notice of any Default, and any time period in this Indenture to cure any actual or alleged Default or Event of Default may be extended or stayed by a court of competent jurisdiction. In addition, any notice of any Default or notice of acceleration or instruction to the Trustee to provide a notice of any Default or notice of acceleration or take any other action (a “Noteholder Direction”) provided by any one or more Holders (each a “Directing Holder”) must be accompanied by a written representation from each such Holder to the Issuer and the Trustee that such Holder is not (or, in the case such Holder is DTC or its nominee, that such Holder is being instructed solely by beneficial owners that have represented to such Holder that they are not) Net Short (a “Position Representation”), which representation, in the case of a Noteholder Direction relating to a notice of any Default shall be deemed repeated at all times until the resulting Event of Default is cured or otherwise ceases to exist or the Notes are accelerated. In addition, each Directing Holder must, at the time of providing a Noteholder Direction, covenant to provide the Issuer with such other information as the Issuer may reasonably request from time to time in order to verify the accuracy of such Holder’s Position Representation within five Business Days of any request therefor (a “Verification Covenant”). In any case in which the Holder is DTC or its nominee, any Position Representation or Verification Covenant required hereunder shall be provided by the beneficial owner of the Notes in lieu of DTC or its nominee, and DTC shall be entitled to rely on such Position Representation and Verification Covenant in delivering its direction to the Trustee.

(c) If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Issuer determines in good faith that there is a reasonable basis to believe a Directing Holder was, at any relevant time, in breach of its Position Representation and provides to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Issuer has filed papers with a court of competent jurisdiction seeking a determination that such Directing Holder was, at such time, in breach of its Position Representation, and seeking to invalidate any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed and the cure period with respect to such Event of Default shall be automatically stayed pending a final and non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction on such matter (a “Court Determination”). If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Issuer provides to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that a Court Determination has been made that a Directing Holder failed to satisfy its Verification Covenant, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed until such time as the Issuer provides the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate that the Verification Covenant has been satisfied; provided that the Issuer shall promptly deliver such Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee upon becoming aware that the Verification Covenant has been satisfied. Any breach of the Position Representation (as confirmed by Court Determination) shall result in such Holder’s participation in such Noteholder Direction being disregarded; and, if, without the participation of such Holder, the percentage of Notes held by the remaining Holders that provided such Noteholder Direction would have been insufficient to validly provide such

102

Noteholder Direction, such Noteholder Direction shall be void ab initio, with the effect that such Event of Default shall be deemed never to have occurred, acceleration voided and the Trustee shall be deemed to have not received such Noteholder Direction or any notice of such Default or Event of Default; provided, however, that this shall not invalidate any indemnity or security provided by the Directing Holders to the Trustee, which obligations shall continue to survive.

(d) With their acquisition of the Notes, each Holder and subsequent purchaser of the Notes consents to the delivery of its Position Representation by the Trustee to the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this section. Each Holder and subsequent purchaser of the Notes waives any and all claims, in law and/or in equity, against the Trustee and agrees not to commence any legal proceeding against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee will not be liable for any action that the Trustee takes in accordance with this section, or arising out of or in connection with following instructions or taking actions in accordance with a Noteholder Direction.

Notwithstanding anything in the preceding paragraph to the contrary, any Noteholder Direction delivered to the Trustee during the pendency of an Event of Default specified in clauses (6) or (7) of Section 6.01(a) shall not require compliance with the foregoing paragraphs.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely without liability on any Noteholder Direction, Position Representation, Verification Covenant, Officer’s Certificate or other document delivered to it pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs, shall have no duty to inquire as to or investigate the accuracy of any Position Representation, enforce compliance with any Verification Covenant, verify any statements in any Officer’s Certificate delivered to it, or otherwise make calculations, investigations or determinations with respect to Derivative Instruments, Net Shorts, Long Derivative Instruments, Short Derivative Instruments or otherwise and shall have no liability for ceasing to take any action or staying any remedy. In no event shall the Trustee be obligated to ascertain, calculate, monitor or otherwise make any determination as to whether any Holder is Net Short. The Trustee shall have no liability to the Issuer, any Holder or any other Person in acting in good faith on a Noteholder Direction or refraining from taking any action in good faith with respect thereto or to determine whether any Holder has delivered a Position Representation or that such Position Representation conforms with this Indenture or any other agreement and can rely conclusively on the Officer’s Certificate delivered by the Issuer and determinations made by a court of competent jurisdiction.

The Issuer agrees to waive any and all claims in law and/or in equity against the Trustee, and agrees not to commence any legal proceeding against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees the Trustee will not be liable for any action that the Trustee takes in accordance with this section, or arising out of or in connection with following instructions or taking actions in accordance with a Noteholder Direction.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee will treat all Holders equally with respect to their rights following a Default under this section. In connection with the requisite percentages required under this section, the Trustee shall also treat all outstanding Notes equally irrespective of any Position Representation in determining whether the requisite percentage has been obtained with respect to the initial delivery of a Noteholder Direction.

103

The Issuer and the Note Guarantors hereby confirm that any and all other actions that the Trustee takes or omits to take under this section and all fees, costs and expenses of the Trustee and its agents and counsel arising hereunder and in connection herewith shall be covered by the Issuer’s and the Note Guarantors’ indemnifications under this Indenture.

Section 6.02 Acceleration.

(a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (6) or (7) of Section 6.01(a) with respect to the Issuer) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes by notice to the Issuer may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in clauses (6) or (7) of Section 6.01(a) with respect to the Issuer occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders.

In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (5) of Section 6.01(a), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any resulting payment default) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose the Issuer delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured, it being understood that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal amount of the Notes as described above be annulled, waived or rescinded upon the happening of any such events.

(b) Subject to Section 6.02(a), at any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences:

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

(2) if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except non-payment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration;

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

(4) if the Issuer has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances.

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

104

Section 6.03 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may pursue any available remedy under this Indenture, the Notes, the Intermediate Holdings Guarantee, the Note Guarantees, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

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

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note held by a non-consenting Holder (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control Offer); provided, subject to Section 6.02, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05 Control by Majority. Subject to Sections 7.01(e), 7.02(f), 7.02(k) and 7.07, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee or the Collateral Agent. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement or that the Trustee or the Collateral Agent determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder of a Note or that would involve the Trustee or the Collateral Agent in personal liability.

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits. Subject to Section 6.07, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

(1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

(2) Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3) Holders of the Notes have offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of security or indemnity; and

105

(5) Holders of a majority in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such holders).

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Bring Suit. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the contractual right of any Holder to bring suit for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on its Note, on or after the respective due dates, expressed or provided for in such Note shall not be amended without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuers for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09 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 proceedings, the Issuer, 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 has been instituted.

Section 6.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07, 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 or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 6.11 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 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.

106

Section 6.12 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuers (or any other obligor upon the Notes including Holdings, Intermediate Holdings and the Note Guarantors), their creditors or their property and shall be entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee or the Collateral Agent under Section 7.07. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee or the Collateral Agent under Section 7.07 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.13 Priorities. Subject to the terms of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement with respect to any proceeds of Collateral, if the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, or pursuant to the foreclosure or other remedial provisions contained in the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

(1) to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, their agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and to the Collateral Agent for fees and expenses incurred under the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement;

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

(3) to the Issuers or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct including Holdings or a Note Guarantor, if applicable.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.13.

107

Section 6.14 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.14 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

ARTICLE 7

Section 7.06 [Reserved].

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuers and the Note Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall pay to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder and under the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. Neither the Trustee’s or the Collateral Agent’s compensation shall be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuers shall reimburse the Trustee and the Collateral Agent promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s and the Collateral Agent’s agents and counsel.

111

The Issuers, the Note Guarantors, Holdings and Intermediate Holdings, jointly and severally, shall indemnify each of the Trustee, any predecessor Trustee, the Collateral Agent and any predecessor Collateral Agent and their agents for, and hold the Trustee and the Collateral Agent harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent)) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder and under the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement against the Issuers, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings or any of the Note Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) or defending itself against any claim whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuers, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings any Note Guarantor or any other Person, or liability in connection with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder). Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall notify the Issuers promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to so notify the Issuers shall not relieve the Issuers of its obligations hereunder. The Issuers shall defend the claim and the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may have separate counsel and the Issuers shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuers need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent through the Trustee’s or the Collateral Agent’s own willful misconduct, negligence (gross negligence, with respect to the Collateral Agent) or bad faith.

The obligations of the Issuers and the Note Guarantors under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent.

To secure the payment obligations of the Issuer and the Note Guarantors in this Section 7.07, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

When the Trustee or the Collateral Agent incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(6) or (7) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee or Collateral Agent. A resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent and appointment of a successor Trustee or a successor Collateral Agent shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s or successor Xxxxxxxxxx Agent’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. The Trustee or the Collateral Agent may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuers. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee or the Collateral Agent by so notifying the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and the Issuers in writing. The Issuers may remove the Trustee or the Collateral Agent if:

112

(1) in the case of the Trustee, the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

(2) the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

(3) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, or its property; or

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

If the Trustee or the Collateral Agent resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee or the Collateral Agent for any reason, the Issuers shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or a successor Collateral Agent, as the case may be. Within one year after the successor Trustee or successor Collateral Agent takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee or a successor Collateral Agent to replace the successor Trustee or successor Xxxxxxxxxx Agent appointed by the Issuers.

If a successor Trustee or a successor 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 (at the Issuers’ expense), the Issuers or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or successor Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

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

A successor Trustee or successor Collateral Agent shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee or Collateral Agent and to the Issuers. 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. The successor Trustee or successor Collateral Agent shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee or Collateral Agent shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee or Collateral Agent to the successor Trustee or successor Collateral Agent; provided all sums owing to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuers’ obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee or Collateral Agent.

Section 7.09 Successor by Xxxxxx, etc. If the Trustee or the Collateral Agent consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee or successor Collateral Agent.

ARTICLE 8

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Issuers may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

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

(a) the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments are due, solely out of the trust created pursuant to this Indenture referred to in Section 8.04;

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

(c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Issuers’ obligations in connection therewith; and

(d) this Section 8.02.

If the Issuers exercise the Legal Defeasance, the Liens on the Collateral will be automatically released and the Guarantees in effect at such time will automatically terminate.

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

114

Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuers, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings and the Note Guarantors shall have a Lien on the Collateral granted under the Collateral Documents automatically released and shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 3.09, 4.03, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13 (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries (other than the Co-Issuer)), 4.14, 4.15 and 4.16, and clause (4) of Section 5.01(a), with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (“Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Issuers may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 8.04, 6.01(a)(3) (solely with respect to clause (4) of Section 5.01(a)), 6.01(a)(4), 6.01(a)(5), 6.01(a)(6) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries that are Significant Subsidiaries (other than the Co-Issuer)), 6.01(a)(7) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries that are Significant Subsidiaries (other than the Co-Issuer)), 6.01(a)(8), 6.01(a)(9) and 6.01(a)(10) shall not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 to the outstanding Notes:

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the Notes:

(1) the Issuers must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. dollar-denominated Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as shall be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, investment bank or appraisal firm engaged by the Issuer expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (insofar as any U.S. dollar-denominated Government Obligations are so included) to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on the Notes on the stated maturity date or on the date of redemption, as the case may be; provided that upon any Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance and subsequent redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited (with respect to the Applicable Premium) shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of deposit with the Trustee, with any Applicable Premium Deficit only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of redemption, and any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in a certificate of an Officer of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee substantially concurrently with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption; and the Issuers must specify whether such Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular date of redemption;

115

(2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions,

(A) the Issuers has received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or

(B) since the issuance of the Notes, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law,

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as applicable, as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred (and, in the case of Legal Defeasance only, such Opinion of Counsel must be based on a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or change in applicable federal income tax law); provided, however, the Opinion of Counsel required with respect to a Legal Defeasance need not be delivered if all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (x) have become due and payable or (y) will become due and payable at their 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 Issuers;

(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(4) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the Credit Agreement or any other material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary is a party or by which the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary is bound (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith);

116

(6) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and subject to customary assumptions and exclusions following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of Title 11 of the United States Code;

(7) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuers with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuers, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings or any Note Guarantor or others; and

(8) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions), each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with.

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

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

Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuers from time to time upon the request of the Issuers any money or Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.06 Repayment to the Issuers. Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuers, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuers on their request or (if then held by the Issuers) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Issuers for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuers as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

117

Section 8.07 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuers’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; provided that, if the Issuers make any payment of principal of, premium or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuers shall mail or electronically transmit to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver.

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

(2) reduce the principal of or change the Stated Maturity of any such Note;

(10) expressly subordinate the Notes, the Intermediate Holdings Guarantee or any Note Guarantees to any other Indebtedness of the Issuers, Intermediate Holdings or any Note Guarantor;

(11) except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, modify the Intermediate Holdings Guarantee or the Note Guarantees of any Significant Subsidiary or the Note Guarantees of any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together as of the date of the amendment or waiver, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary in any manner adverse to the Holders of the Notes, or

123

(12) modify the provisions of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or any Approved Intercreditor Agreement (except as expressly permitted therein) dealing with the application of proceeds of the Collateral in any manner that would adversely affect the Holders of the Notes in any material respect.

Section 9.03 [Reserved].

Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note 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 of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

The Issuers may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement, or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement, or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date unless the consent of the requisite number of Holders has been obtained.

Section 9.05 Exchange of Notes. The Issuers in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

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

Section 9.06 Trustee and Collateral Agent to Sign Amendments, etc. (a) The Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver to this Indenture, or any amendment or supplement to the Holdings Guarantee, the Intermediate Holdings Guarantee, the Note Guarantees, the Collateral Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Notes authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the

124

Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be. The Issuers may not sign an amendment, supplement or waiver to this Indenture until their respective Board of Directors approves it. In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver to this Indenture, or any amendment or supplement to the Holdings Guarantee, the Intermediate Holdings Guarantee, the Note Guarantees, the Collateral Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Notes authorized pursuant to this Article 9, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 15.02, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment, supplement or waiver, or any amendment or supplement to the Holdings Guarantee, the Intermediate Holdings Guarantee, the Note Guarantees, the Collateral Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Notes, is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuers, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings and any Note Guarantors party thereto, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.02).

(b) The Collateral Agent shall sign any amendment, supplement, consent or waiver authorized pursuant to any of the Collateral Documents or Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof (including, without limitation, without the further consent or agreement of the Holders if so provided in such Collateral Document or Intercreditor Agreement or otherwise in accordance with Section 9.01(b) of this Indenture) if the amendment, supplement, consent or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Collateral Agent. The Issuer may not sign an amendment, supplement, consent or waiver to any of the Collateral Documents or Intercreditor Agreement until its Board of Directors approves such amendment, supplement, consent or waiver. In executing any amendment, supplement, consent or waiver to any of the Collateral Documents or Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officer’s Certificate stating that the execution of such amendment, supplement, consent or waiver is authorized or permitted by the applicable Collateral Document and/or Intercreditor Agreement, as the case may be, and complies with the provisions thereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the execution by the Collateral Agent of any amendment, waiver or other modification to the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement.

If required by Section 4.15, the Issuer shall cause any newly created or acquired Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.15 and this Article 10, to the extent applicable.

(2) any other default on Holdings Senior Indebtedness occurs and the maturity of such Holdings Senior Indebtedness is accelerated in accordance with its terms,

unless, in either case, the Holdings Payment Default has been cured or waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded or such Holdings Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash; provided, however, that Holdings shall be entitled to pay its Holdings Guarantee without regard to the foregoing if Holdings and the Trustee receive written notice approving such payment from the Holdings Representatives of all Holdings Senior Indebtedness with respect to which the Holdings Payment Default has occurred and is continuing.

During the continuance of any default (other than a Holdings Payment Default) (a “Holdings Non-Payment Default”) with respect to any Holdings Senior Indebtedness pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated without further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect such acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods, Holdings shall not pay its Holdings Guarantee (except in the form of Holdings Permitted Junior Securities) for a period (a “Holdings Guarantee Payment Blockage Period”) commencing upon the receipt by the Trustee (with a copy to Holdings and the Issuers) of written notice (a “Holdings Guarantee Blockage Notice”) of such Holdings Non-Payment Default from the Holdings Representative of such Holdings Senior Indebtedness specifying an election to effect a Holdings Guarantee Payment Blockage Period and ending 179 days thereafter unless earlier terminated as provided below. The Holdings Guarantee Payment Blockage Period shall end earlier if such Holdings Guarantee Payment Blockage Period is terminated (i) by written notice to the Trustee, Holdings and the Issuers from the Person or Persons who gave such Holdings Guarantee Blockage Notice; (ii) because the default giving rise to such Holdings Guarantee Blockage Notice is cured, waived or otherwise no longer continuing; or (iii) because such Holdings Senior Indebtedness has been repaid in full in cash.

Notwithstanding the provisions described in the immediately preceding paragraph (but subject to the provisions contained in the first paragraph of this Section 12.03 and Section 12.02), unless the holders of such Holdings Senior Indebtedness or the Holdings Representative of such Holdings Senior Indebtedness shall have accelerated the maturity of such Holdings Senior Indebtedness or a Holdings Payment Default exists, Holdings shall be permitted to resume paying its Holdings Guarantee after the end of such Holdings Guarantee Payment Blockage Period. Holdings shall not be subject to more than one Holdings Guarantee Payment Blockage Period in any consecutive 360-day period, irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to Holdings

137

Senior Indebtedness during such period. However, in no event shall the total number of days during which any Holdings Guarantee Payment Blockage Period or Periods is in effect exceed 179 days in the aggregate during any consecutive 360-day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Holdings Guarantee Blockage Notice to the Trustee shall be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Holdings Guarantee Blockage Notice unless such default shall have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days (it being acknowledged that any subsequent action, or any breach of any financial covenants during the period after the date of delivery of a Holdings Guarantee Blockage Notice, that, in either case, would give rise to a Holdings Non-Payment Default pursuant to any provisions of the Holdings Senior Indebtedness under which a Holdings Non-Payment Default previously existed or was continuing shall constitute a new Holdings Non-Payment Default for this purpose).

Section 12.04 Demand for Payment. If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default and a demand for payment is made on Holdings pursuant to Article 11, the Issuers or Holdings shall promptly notify the holders of the Holdings Senior Indebtedness or the Holdings Representative of such Holdings Senior Indebtedness of such demand; provided that any failure to give such notice shall have no effect whatsoever on the provisions of this Article 12. If any Holdings Senior Indebtedness is outstanding, Holdings may not pay its Holdings Guarantee until five Business Days after the Holdings Representatives of all such Holdings Senior Indebtedness receive notice of such acceleration and, thereafter, may pay its Holdings Guarantee only if this Indenture otherwise permits payment at that time.

Section 12.05 When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. If a distribution is made to Holders that, due to the subordination provisions, should not have been made to them, such Holders are required to hold it in trust for the holders of Holdings Senior Indebtedness and pay it over to them as their interests may appear.

Section 12.06 Subrogation. After all Holdings Senior Indebtedness is paid in full and until the Notes are paid in full, Holders shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of such Holdings Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions applicable to such Holdings Senior Indebtedness. A distribution made under this Article 12 to holders of such Holdings Senior Indebtedness which otherwise would have been made to Holders is not, as between Holdings and Holders, a payment by Holdings on such Holdings Senior Indebtedness.

Section 12.07 Relative Rights. This Article 12 defines the relative rights of Holders, the Trustee and holders of Holdings Senior Indebtedness. Nothing in this Indenture shall:

(1) impair, as between Holdings on one hand and Holders and the Trustee on the other hand, the obligation of Holdings, which is absolute and unconditional, to make payments under its Holdings Guarantee in accordance with its terms;

(2) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its available remedies upon a default by Holdings under its obligations with respect to its Holdings Guarantee, subject to the rights of holders of Holdings Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions otherwise payable to Holders and such other rights of such holders of Holdings Senior Indebtedness as set forth herein; or

138

(3) affect the relative rights of Holders and creditors of Holdings other than their rights in relation to holders of Holdings Senior Indebtedness.

Section 12.08 Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Holdings. No right of any holder of Holdings Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination of the obligations of Holdings under its Holdings Guarantee shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by Holdings or by its failure to comply with this Indenture.

Section 12.09 Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. Notwithstanding Section 12.03, the Trustee or any Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of facts that would prohibit the making of any payments unless, not less than three Business Days prior to the date of such payment, a Trust Officer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee receives notice satisfactory to the Trustee that payments may not be made under this Article 12; and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that if a Trust Officer of the Trustee shall not have received, at least three Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such money may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, the redemption price or the Change of Control Payment, as the case may be, in respect of any Note), the notice with respect to such money provided for in this Section 12.09 then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purpose for which such money was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it within three Business Days prior to such date. Holdings, a Holdings Representative, a holder of Holdings Senior Indebtedness or any trustee of or agent thereof shall be entitled to give the notice; provided, however, that, if an issue of Holdings Senior Indebtedness has a Holdings Representative, only the Holdings Representative shall be entitled to give the notice.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity shall be entitled to hold Holdings Senior Indebtedness with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to do the same with like rights. The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 12 with respect to any Holdings Senior Indebtedness which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of such Holdings Senior Indebtedness; and nothing in Article 7 shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing in this Article 12 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07 or any other Section of this Indenture.

Section 12.10 Distribution or Notice to Holdings Representative. Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Holdings Senior Indebtedness the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Holdings Representative (if any).

Section 12.11 Article 12 Not To Prevent Events of Default or Limit Right To Demand Payment. The failure of Holdings to make a payment pursuant to the Holdings Guarantee by reason of any provision in this Article 12 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a default by Holdings under the Holdings Guarantee. Nothing in this Article 12 shall have any effect on the right of the Holders or the Trustee to make a demand for payment on Holdings pursuant to Article 11.

139

Section 12.12 Trust Moneys Not Subordinated. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from money or the proceeds of Government Obligations held in trust by the Trustee for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes pursuant to Article 8 or Article 13 shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Holdings Senior Indebtedness or subject to the restrictions set forth in this Article 12, and none of the Holders shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to Holdings or any holder of Holdings Senior Indebtedness or any other creditor of Holdings; provided that the subordination provisions of this Article 12 were not violated at the time the applicable amounts were deposited in trust pursuant to Article 8 or Article 13, as the case may be.

Section 12.13 Trustee Entitled To Rely. Upon any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 12, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to conclusively rely (a) upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 12.02 are pending, (b) upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders or (c) upon the Holdings Representatives of Holdings Senior Indebtedness for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of such Holdings Senior Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of Holdings, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 12. In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Holdings Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 12, the Trustee shall be entitled to request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Holdings Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 12, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee shall be entitled to defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. The provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02 shall be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 12.

Section 12.14 Trustee To Effectuate Subordination. A Holder by its acceptance of a Note agrees to be bound by this Article 12 and authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee, on his behalf, to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination between the Holders and the holders of Holdings Senior Indebtedness as provided in this Article 12 and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

Section 12.15 Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Holdings Senior Indebtedness. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Holdings Senior Indebtedness and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders or Holdings or any other Person, money or assets to which any holders of Holdings Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 12 or otherwise.

140

Section 12.16 Reliance by Holders of Holdings Senior Indebtedness on Subordination Provisions. Each Holder by accepting a Note acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Holdings Senior Indebtedness whether such Holdings Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Notes, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Holdings Senior Indebtedness and such holder of such Holdings Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Holdings Senior Indebtedness.

Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Holdings Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders, without incurring responsibility to the Trustee or the Holders and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article 12 or the obligations hereunder of the Holders to the holders of the Holdings Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Holdings Senior Indebtedness, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Holdings Senior Indebtedness, or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Holdings Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Holdings Senior Indebtedness; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of Holdings Senior Indebtedness; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Holdings and any other Person.

ARTICLE 13

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 13.01 Satisfaction and Discharge.

(a) This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights of transfer or exchange of Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture, including those under Section 8.02) as to all outstanding Notes when either: (i) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuers and thereafter repaid to the Issuers or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (ii) all Notes (a) have become due and payable, (b) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year or (c) if redeemable at the option of the Issuers, are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuers, and the Issuers have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. dollar Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient in the written opinion of a firm of independent public accountants delivered to the Trustee (which delivery shall only be required if U.S. Dollar-denominated Government Obligations have been so deposited) without consideration of any reinvestment of interest 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 accrued interest on the Notes to the date of deposit together with irrevocable instructions from the Issuers directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be; provided that

141

upon any satisfaction and discharge and subsequent redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited (with respect to the Applicable Premium) shall be sufficient for purposes of the Applicable Premium under this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of deposit with the Trustee, with any deficit as of the date of redemption (any such amount, the “Applicable Premium Deficit”) only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of redemption, and any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in a certificate of an Officer of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee substantially concurrently with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption;

(b) the Issuers, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings and/or the Note Guarantors have paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable under this Indenture; and

(c) the Issuers have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

Upon discharge of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement will automatically terminate and cease to be of further effect and all Liens on the Collateral granted under the Collateral Documents will be released.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to sub-clause (ii) of clause (a) of this Section 13.01, the provisions of Section 13.02 and Section 8.06 shall survive.

Section 13.02 Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 13.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 13.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s, Holdings’, Intermediate Holdings’ and any Note Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 13.01 hereof; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

The Issuers shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 13.01 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of outstanding Notes.

The Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders, hereby appoints The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. as the initial Collateral Agent and the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement. The Issuer, the Co-Issuer, Intermediate Holdings and the Note Guarantors hereby agree that the Collateral Agent shall hold the Collateral in trust for the benefit of all of the Holders and the Trustee, in each case pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement.

(b) Each Holder, by its acceptance of any Notes, the Intermediate Holdings Guarantee and the Note Guarantees, consents and agrees to the terms of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions providing for foreclosure and release of Collateral and the automatic amendments, supplements, consents, waivers and other modifications thereto without the consent of the Holders) as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and this Indenture and authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to perform its obligations and exercise its rights under the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement in accordance therewith.

(c) The Trustee and each Holder, by accepting the Notes, the Intermediate Holdings Guarantee and the Note Guarantees, acknowledge that, as more fully set forth in the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral as now or hereafter constituted shall be held for the benefit of all the Holders and the Trustee, and that the Lien of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents in respect of the Trustee and the Holders is subject to and qualified and limited in all respects by the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and actions that may be taken thereunder.

143

(d) Each Holder, by its acceptance of the Notes, (i) authorizes the Trustee and Collateral Agent to enter into any Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) acknowledges that each Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement is (if entered into) binding upon them.

Section 14.02 Maintenance of Collateral. The Issuers, Intermediate Holdings and the Note Guarantors shall (a) maintain the Collateral in good, safe and insurable operating order, condition and repair, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, property, operations or condition of Intermediate Holdings, the Co-Issuer, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) or the validity or enforceability of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement; (b) pay all real estate and other taxes (except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate negotiations or proceedings); and (c) maintain in full force and effect all permits and certain insurance coverages, except, in each case, where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, property, operations or condition of Intermediate Holdings, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) or the validity or enforceability of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement.

Section 14.03 Impairment of Collateral. Subject to the rights of the holders of any senior Liens and Section 14.07, the Issuers and Intermediate Holdings shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, take or knowingly or negligently omit to take, any action which action or omission would or could reasonably be expected to have the result of materially impairing the security interest with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders, unless such action or failure to take action is otherwise permitted by this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Collateral Documents.

Section 14.04 Further Assurances. The Issuers, Intermediate Holdings and the Note Guarantors shall, at their sole expense, execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions which may be necessary to create, better assure, preserve, protect, defend and perfect the security interest and the rights and remedies created under the Collateral Documents for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent (subject to Permitted Liens). Such security interests and Liens will be created under the Collateral Documents and, to the extent necessary, other security agreements and other instruments and documents in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

Section 14.05 After-Acquired Property. From and after the Issue Date, if the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, Intermediate Holdings or any Note Guarantor acquires any property or asset constituting Collateral, including any Material Real Property, it must as promptly as practicable execute and deliver such security instruments, financing statements, mortgages and deeds of trust (which are expected to be in substantially the same form as those with respect to the First Lien Priority Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, if then outstanding) and, with respect to any Material Real Property, deliver such title insurance policies and certificates and opinions of

144

counsel and surveys as required under Section 14.06, as are required under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents to vest and perfect in favor of the Collateral Agent a security interest with the priority set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement upon such property or asset as security for the Notes, the Intermediate Holdings Guarantee and the Note Guarantees and as may be necessary to have such property or asset added to the Collateral and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such after-acquired Collateral to the same extent and with the same force and effect.

Section 14.06 Real Estate Mortgages and Filings. With respect to Material Real Property owned by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, Intermediate Holdings or a Note Guarantor on the Issue Date, or acquired by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, Intermediate Holdings or a Note Guarantor after the Issue Date, within 60 days after the Issue Date or the date acquired, as applicable, or such longer period as shall be agreed to by the Controlling First Lien Collateral Agent, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, Intermediate Holdings or the applicable Note Guarantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent the following:

(b) a policy or policies or marked-up unconditional binder of title insurance, as applicable, in favor of the Collateral Agent and its successors and/or assigns, in the form and amount consistent with the title insurance policies issued under the Senior Secured Credit Facility or Term Loan A Facility (to the extent outstanding) paid for by the Issuers, issued by a nationally recognized title insurance company insuring the Lien of such Mortgage as a valid second priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) on the applicable real property described therein, together with such endorsements, coinsurance and reinsurance as required under the Senior Secured Credit Facility or Term Loan A Facility (to the extent outstanding);

(c) the Issuers and Intermediate Holdings shall, or shall cause the Note Guarantors to, deliver to the Collateral Agent such surveys (or any updates or affidavits that the title company may reasonably require in connection with the issuance of the title insurance policies) together with such local counsel opinions and opinions of counsel in the jurisdiction where the owner of such premises is organized substantially similar to those delivered to the Controlling First Lien Collateral Agent; and

(d) such affidavits, certificates, instruments of indemnification and other items, together with evidence of payment by the Issuers of all search and examination charges, mortgage recording taxes, fees, charges, costs and expenses, as shall be reasonably required for the recording of the Mortgages and the issuance of the title insurance policies.

Section 14.07 Release of Liens on the Collateral.

(1) in whole, upon payment in full of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest, including premium, if any, on the Notes;

(2) in whole, upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 13;

(3) in whole, upon a legal defeasance or covenant defeasance as set forth under Article 8;

(4) in accordance with the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement;

(5) with the consent of Holders of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, Notes;

(6) with respect to assets of Intermediate Holdings or a Note Guarantor upon release of Intermediate Holdings from its Intermediate Holdings Guarantee or such Note Guarantor from its Note Guarantee in accordance with Article 10; and

(7) to enable the disposition of property or other assets that constitute Collateral, other than to an obligor in respect of the Notes, to the extent not prohibited by Section 4.10.

provided that, in the case of any release in whole pursuant to clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) above, all amounts owing to the Trustee and Collateral Agent under this Indenture, the Notes, the Intermediate Holdings Guarantee, the Note Guarantees and the Collateral Documents shall have been paid. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral securing the Notes will not be released due to repayment or termination of First Lien Priority Indebtedness.

(b) The Issuers and each Note Guarantor will furnish to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, prior to the Collateral Agent providing any requested written evidence of Collateral release pursuant to Section 14.07(a)(1) through (7) or pursuant to the Collateral Documents:

(1) an Officer’s Certificate requesting such release;

(2) an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture and the Collateral Documents to such release have been complied with;

(3) solely in the case of a release described in Section 14.07(a)(1) through (3), (5) and (7), an Opinion of Counsel in accordance with Section 15.02(b);

146

(4) a form of such release (which release shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and shall provide that the requested release is without recourse to or representation or warranty by the Trustee).

(c) Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any such release undertaken in reliance upon any such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

(d) Upon compliance by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, Intermediate Holdings or the Note Guarantors, as the case may be, with the conditions precedent set forth above, and if required by this Indenture, upon delivery by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or Intermediate Holdings or such Note Guarantor to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such conditions precedent have been complied with, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall promptly cause to be released and reconveyed to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, Intermediate Holdings or the relevant Note Guarantor, as the case may be, the released Collateral, and take all other actions reasonably requested by the Issuer in connection therewith.

(e) From and after any such time when all the Liens securing the First Lien Priority Indebtedness are released but the Liens on the Collateral securing the Notes remain in existence, if the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, Intermediate Holdings or any Note Guarantor acquires any property or asset constituting Collateral, including any Material Real Property, it must as promptly as practicable execute and deliver such security instruments, financing statements, Mortgages, and, with respect to any Material Real Property, deliver such title insurance policies and certificates and opinions of counsel and surveys as required under Section 14.06 as are required under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement to vest and perfect in favor of the Collateral Agent a security interest with the same priority as the other Collateral upon such property or asset as security for the Notes (subject to Permitted Liens), the Intermediate Holdings Guarantee and the Note Guarantees and as may be necessary to have such property or asset added to the Collateral and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such after-acquired property or asset to the same extent and with the same force and effect.

If, after the Collateral is released in full as contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement or, after it becomes effective, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, and, thereafter, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, Intermediate Holdings or any Note Guarantor subsequently incurs First Lien Priority Indebtedness or Second Lien Priority Indebtedness that is secured by Liens on assets of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, Intermediate Holdings or any Note Guarantor of the type constituting Collateral (other than Excluded Property), then the Issuers, Intermediate Holdings and the Note Guarantors shall be required to secure the Notes, the Intermediate Holdings Guarantee and the Note Guarantees, as applicable, at such time by a Lien on the Collateral with the priority and terms substantially as set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement or the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement.

147

Section 14.08 Authorization of Actions to be Taken by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent Under the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Article 7 of this Indenture and the provisions of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, each of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may (but shall in no event be required to), in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders, on behalf of the Holders, take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to (i) enforce any of its rights or any of the rights of the Holders under the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Collateral in respect of the obligations of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, Intermediate Holdings and the Note Guarantors hereunder and thereunder. Subject to the provisions of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall have the power, but not the obligation, to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of the Collateral Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interest and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral (including the power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the security interest hereunder or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders or the Trustee). Nothing in this Section 14.08(a) shall be considered to impose any such duty or obligation to act on the part of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent.

(b) The Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value (or diminution of value) of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes negligence (gross negligence, with respect to the Collateral Agent), bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Issuer to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. The Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for recording, filing, re-recording or refiling any financing statement, continuation statement, document, instrument or other notice in any public office at any time or times or to otherwise take any action to perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest granted to it under the Collateral Documents or otherwise and neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee makes any representation regarding the validity, effectiveness or priority of any of the Collateral Documents or the security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral in their possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in their possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which they accord their 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 selected by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in good faith. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the Note Guarantors, Company or the Controlling First Lien Collateral Agent.

148

(c) Where any provision of this Indenture requires that additional property or assets be added to the Collateral, the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, Intermediate Holdings and each Note Guarantor, as applicable, shall deliver to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent the following:

(1) a request from the Issuer that such Collateral be added;

(2) the form of instrument adding such Collateral, which, based on the type and location of the property subject thereto, shall be in substantially the form of the applicable Collateral Documents entered into on the date of this Indenture, with such changes thereto as the Issuer shall consider appropriate, or in such other form as the Issuer shall deem proper; provided that any such changes or such form are administratively satisfactory to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent;

(3) an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture to the addition of such Collateral have been complied with; and

(4) such financing statements, if any, as the Issuer in good faith shall deem necessary to perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Collateral.

Section 14.09 Information Regarding Collateral.

(a) The Issuers will furnish to the Collateral Agent, with respect to the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, Intermediate Holdings or any Note Guarantor, promptly, written notice of any change in such Person’s (i) corporate or organization name, (ii) jurisdiction of organization or formation or (iii) identity or corporate structure. The Issuers, Intermediate Holdings and the Note Guarantors shall take all necessary action so that the Lien of the Collateral Agent is perfected with the same priority as immediately prior to such change to the extent required by the Collateral Documents. The Issuer also agrees promptly to notify the Collateral Agent if any material portion of the Collateral is damaged, destroyed or condemned.

(b) If at any time after the Issue Date, the Issuers deliver to an agent or representative of the holders of the First Lien Priority Indebtedness, other Second Lien Priority Indebtedness or Junior Lien Collateral Indebtedness, an update to the perfection certificate previously delivered to any such agent or representative, then the Issuers shall promptly deliver such update to the Collateral Agent (and to the Trustee, if not the same entity as the Collateral Agent).

(c) No actions by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall be required with respect to any assets that are located outside the United States or assets that require action under the law of any non-U.S. jurisdiction to create or perfect a security interest in such assets; it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that there shall be no requirement to execute any security agreement or pledge agreement governed by the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction.

Section 14.10 Collateral Documents and Intercreditor Agreement. The provisions in this Indenture relating to Collateral are subject to the provisions of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement. The Issuer, the Co-Issuer, Intermediate Holdings, the Note Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent acknowledge and agree to be bound by the provisions of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement.

149

Section 14.11 No Liability for Clean-up of Hazardous Materials.

(a) The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including, but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Collateral Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, and the Collateral Documents, the Trustee and Collateral Agent may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral. In the event that the Trustee or Collateral Agent is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Trustee’s or the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion may cause it to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. §9601, et seq., or otherwise cause it to incur liability under CERCLA or any other federal, state or local law, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent reserve the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable to any person for any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Trustee’s or the Collateral Agent’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or under the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement or relating to the discharge, release or threatened release of hazardous materials into the environment. If at any time it is necessary or advisable for the Collateral to be possessed, owned, operated or managed by any person other than the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings or any Note Guarantor, a majority in interest of the Holders shall direct the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to appoint an appropriately qualified person who they shall designate to possess, own, operate or manage, as the case may be, the Collateral.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Collateral Documents, in the event the Trustee or the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under the Mortgages or take any such other action if the Trustee or the Collateral Agent has determined that the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this Section 14.11 if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Issuers or the Holders to be sufficient.

The Issuers, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings any Note Guarantor, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, by notice to the others, may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.

All notices and communications (other than those sent to Holders) shall be deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five calendar days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed by first-class mail; when receipt acknowledged, if faxed; and the next Business Day after timely delivery to the courier, if sent by overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery; provided that any notice or communication delivered to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall be deemed effective upon actual receipt thereof.

151

Any notice or communication to a Holder shall be mailed by first-class mail, certified or registered, return receipt requested, or by overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery to its address shown on the register kept by the Registrar or by other electronic means or such other delivery system as the Trustee agrees to accept. Failure to mail a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders.

If a notice or communication is mailed in the manner provided above within the time prescribed, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it.

If the Issuers mail a notice or communication to Holders, they shall mail a copy to the Trustee and each Agent at the same time.

The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant to this Indenture and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that the Issuers shall provide to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent an incumbency certificate listing officers with the authority to provide such Instructions (“Authorized Officers”) and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Issuers whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Issuers elect to give the Trustee or the Collateral Agent Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee’s or the Collateral Agent’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Issuers understand and agree that neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent can determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent have been sent by such Authorized Officer. The Issuers shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and that the Issuers and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Issuers. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s or the Collateral Agent’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. Each Issuer agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by such Issuer; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.

152

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, as long as the Notes are in the form of a Global Note, notice to the Holders may be made electronically in accordance with procedures of the Depositary.

Section 15.02 Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent.

(d) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such Person, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the parties irrevocably waive and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 15.08 Force Majeure. In no event shall the Trustee or the Collateral 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, epidemics, pandemics and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software or hardware) services.

This Indenture may not be used to interpret any other indenture, loan or debt agreement of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings or of any other Person.

154

Section 15.11 Severability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 15.12 Counterpart 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.

Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile, PDF or other electronic transmission shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

All notices, approvals, consents, requests and any communications hereunder must be in writing, provided that any communication sent to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent hereunder must be in the form of a document that is signed manually or electronically or by way of a digital signature provided by a digital signature provider acceptable to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, as specified in writing to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, by the authorized representative, in English. This Indenture and any other document delivered in connection with this Indenture (including the Notes, the Holdings Guarantee, the Intermediate Holdings Guarantee, the Notes Guarantees, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement) (collectively, the “Notes Document”) shall be valid, binding, and enforceable against a party when executed and delivered by an authorized individual on behalf of the party by means of (i) an original manual signature, (ii) a faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature or (iii) any other electronic signature permitted by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, including any relevant provisions of the applicable and controlling Uniform Commercial Code (collectively, “Signature Law”), in each case to the extent applicable.

7.000% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2030

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

1. INTEREST. Anywhere Real Estate Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Anywhere Co-Issuer Corp., a Florida corporation (together, the “Issuers”), promise to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 7.000% per annum from August 24, 2023 until maturity. The Issuers will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of original issuance; provided that the first Interest Payment Date shall be October 15, 2023. The Issuers will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the interest rate on the Notes; the Issuers shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the interest rate on the Notes. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuers will pay interest on the Notes to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on April 1 and October 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be payable at the office or agency of the Issuers maintained for such purpose or, at the option of the Issuers, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest and premium on all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuers or the Paying Agent. Such payment shall be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders. The Issuer or any of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

4. INDENTURE. The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of August 24, 2023 (the “Indenture”), among Anywhere Real Estate Group LLC, Anywhere Co-Issuer Corp., Anywhere Intermediate Holdings LLC, Anywhere Real Estate Inc., the Note Guarantors party thereto and the Trustee and Collateral Agent.

The Issuers shall be entitled to issue Additional Notes pursuant to Sections 2.01, 4.09 and 4.12 of the Indenture.

EXHIBIT A-Page 7

The Notes and Additional Notes shall be treated as a single class of securities for all purposes under the Indenture, in each case including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; provided, however, that if such Additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

(a) Except as described under clauses (b), (c) and (d) below, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Issuers’ option before the maturity date of the Notes.

(b) At any time and from time to time prior to April 15, 2025, the Issuers may redeem all or a part of the Notes at a redemption price, calculated by the Issuer, equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable date of redemption (subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

(c) On or after April 15, 2025, the Issuers may redeem the Notes at their option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed), plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date (subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on April 15 of the years set forth in the table below:


Year	Percentage
2025		102.625	%

(b) If the Notes would otherwise constitute “applicable high yield discount obligations” within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1) of the Code, at the end of the first accrual period ending after the fifth anniversary of the Notes’ issuance (the “AHYDO payment date”), and at the end of each accrual period thereafter the Issuer will be required to make a partial payment with respect to each Note then outstanding equal to the Mandatory Principal Payment Amount (such payment, a “Mandatory Principal Payment”). No partial redemption or repurchase of the Notes prior to the AHYDO payment date pursuant to any other provision of the Indenture will alter the Issuer’s obligation to make the Mandatory Principal Payment with respect to any Notes that remain outstanding on the AHYDO payment date.

Subject to Section 3.10 of the Indenture, notice of redemption will be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid (or electronically transmitted), at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date (except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 13 of the Indenture) to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC. Notes in denominations larger than $2,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1.00 in excess of $2,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

9. OFFERS TO REPURCHASE.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture, to cause the Issuers to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due of the relevant Interest Payment Date), as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture. The Change of Control Offer shall be made in accordance with Section 4.14 of the Indenture.

(b) If the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries consummates an Asset Sale, within 10 Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed $30.0 million, the Issuers shall make an offer to all Holders of the Notes (and at the option of the Issuers to holders of any Second Lien Priority Indebtedness or, in the case of an Asset Sale of assets that are not Collateral, to holders of other Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness) (an “Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes (and such Second Lien Priority Indebtedness or Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable) that is at least $2,000 and an integral multiple of $1.00 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 (or, in the event such Second Lien Priority Indebtedness or Senior

EXHIBIT A-Page 10

Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, was issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest (or, in respect of such Second Lien Priority Indebtedness or Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Indebtedness), to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture or the agreements governing the Second Lien Priority Indebtedness or Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes (and such Second Lien Priority Indebtedness or Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable) tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuers may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes or any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes (and such Second Lien Priority Indebtedness or Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable) surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes (and the applicable agent or trustee shall select such other Second Lien Priority Indebtedness or Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable) to be purchased in the manner described in Section 3.09 of the Indenture. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Issuers prior to any related Purchase Date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes.

10. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and Holders shall be required to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuers need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Issuers need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed.

11. SUBORDINATION. The Holdings Guarantee is subordinated to Holdings Senior Indebtedness on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture. To the extent provided in the Indenture, Holdings Senior Indebtedness must be paid before the Holdings Guarantee may be paid. The Issuers agree, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, to the subordination provisions contained in the Indenture and authorize the Trustee to give effect thereto and appoint the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for such purpose.

12. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

13. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The Indenture, the Holdings Guarantee, the Intermediate Holdings Guarantee, the Note Guarantees and the Notes, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement may be amended or supplemented as provided in the Indenture.

14. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. The Events of Default relating to the Notes are defined in Section 6.01 of the Indenture.

EXHIBIT A-Page 11

15. AUTHENTICATION. This Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated by the manual or electronic signature of the Trustee.

16. SECURITY. The Notes shall be secured by Xxxxx and security interests, subject to Permitted Liens, in the Collateral, which Liens are junior in priority to the Liens securing the First Lien Priority Indebtedness, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement. The Collateral Agent holds the Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders, in each case, pursuant to the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement.

17. GOVERNING LAW. THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE INDENTURE, THE NOTES, THE HOLDINGS GUARANTEE, THE INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS GUARANTEE AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES.

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

WHEREAS, each of the Issuers, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings and the Note Guarantors (each as defined in the Indenture referred to below) has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of August 24, 2023, providing for the issuance of an unlimited aggregate principal amount of 7.000% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”);

WHEREAS, Section 4.15 of the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Issuer is required to cause the Guaranteeing Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuers’ Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein and under the Indenture (the “Guarantee”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary are authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:

(1) Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

(2) Agreement to Guarantee. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees as follows:

(a) Along with Holdings, Intermediate Holdings and all Note Guarantors named in the Indenture or any supplemental indenture, to jointly and severally unconditionally guarantee to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuers hereunder or thereunder, that:

(i) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuers to the Holders

(ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, each Note Guarantor and the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. This is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.
