Section 1.05 Limited Condition Transactions. For purposes of (i) determining compliance with any provision of this Indenture that requires the calculation of the Senior Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio, the Total Secured Indebtedness Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio or the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, (ii) determining compliance with representations, warranties, Defaults or Events of Default or (iii) testing availability under baskets set forth in this Indenture (including baskets measured as a percentage of EBITDA or total assets), in each case, in connection with (a) an acquisition or other Investment permitted under this Indenture (including acquisitions and other Investments subject to a letter of intent or purchase agreement) by one or more of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries or (b) any unconditional repayment or redemption of, or offer to purchase, any Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary (any such transaction referred to in clauses (a) and (b), and any action to be taken in connection therewith (including the Incurrence, issuance or repayment of any Indebtedness, the granting of any Liens, the making of any Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment, the consummation of any acquisition or disposition and any designation or revocation of a designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary), a “Limited Condition Transaction”), at the option of the Company (the Company’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”) (and regardless of whether or not the applicable provision of this Indenture makes express reference to this Section 1.05, a Limited Condition Transaction, an LCT Election or an LCT Test Date), the date of determination of whether any Limited Condition Transaction or action to be taken in connection therewith is permitted under this Indenture (including for purposes of determining the U.S. dollar equivalent amount of any Limited Condition Transaction denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars) shall be deemed to be, at the Company’s election, the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction or commitments with respect to Indebtedness to be Incurred in connection therewith are entered into (or, solely in connection with an acquisition, consolidation or business combination to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers applies, the date on which a “Rule 2.7 Announcement” of a firm intention to make an offer is made (or, solely in connection with an acquisition, consolidation or business combination to which a similar law of any jurisdiction applies, a similar announcement or notice under such similar law of any jurisdiction is made)) (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith on a pro forma basis as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding

the LCT Test Date, the Company could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such representation, warranty, absence of Default or Event of Default, ratio or basket, such representation, warranty, absence of Default or Event of Default, ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket (including due to fluctuations of the target of any Limited Condition Transaction) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If the Company has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, (or, solely in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (or any similar law of any jurisdiction) applies, the date on which the scheme or offer, as the case may be, lapses, terminates or is withdrawn (and is not substantially contemporaneously replaced with a new or renewed scheme or offer) without the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction) any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any Incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) had been consummated.

Section 1.06 Basket and Ratio Calculations. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary (i) unless the Company elects otherwise, if the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with the consummation of any transaction or series of related transactions (A) Incurs Indebtedness, creates Liens, makes asset sales or other dispositions, makes Investments, makes Restricted Payments, designates any Subsidiary as restricted or unrestricted or repays any Indebtedness or takes any other action under or as permitted by a ratio-based basket and (B) Incurs Indebtedness, creates Liens, makes asset sales or other dispositions, makes Investments, makes Restricted Payments, designates any Subsidiary as restricted or unrestricted or repays any Indebtedness or takes any other action under a non-ratio-based basket (including borrowings under any revolving credit facility) (which shall occur on the same business day as the events in clause (A) above), then the applicable ratio will be calculated with respect to any such action under the applicable ratio-based basket without regard to any such action under such non-ratio-based basket made in connection with such transaction or series of related transactions and (ii) if the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries enters into any revolving, delayed draw or other committed debt facility, the Company may elect to determine compliance of such debt facility (including the Incurrence of Indebtedness and Liens from time to time in connection therewith) with this Indenture on the date definitive loan documents with respect thereto are executed by all parties thereto (or such other date as permitted by the Limited Condition Transaction provisions), assuming the full amount of such facility is Incurred (and any applicable Liens are granted) on such date, in lieu of determining such compliance on any subsequent date (including any date on which Indebtedness is Incurred pursuant to such facility).

Section 1.07 Master Leases and Gaming Leases. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, for all purposes of this Indenture, (a) the Master Leases and any Gaming Lease (and any Guarantee of the foregoing) shall not constitute Indebtedness, Liens or a Capitalized Lease Obligation regardless of how such Master Lease or Gaming Lease may be treated under GAAP, (b) any interest portion of payments in connection with such Master Lease or Gaming Lease shall not constitute Consolidated Interest Expense or Consolidated Cash Interest Expense (or terms of similar effect) and (c) EBITDA and Consolidated Net Income (and terms of similar effect) shall be calculated by deducting, without duplication of amounts otherwise deducted, rent, insurance, property taxes and other amounts and expenses actually paid in cash under the Master Leases or any Gaming Lease in the applicable period and

no deductions in calculating EBITDA or Consolidated Net Income (and terms of similar effect) shall occur as a result of imputed interest, amounts under the Master Leases or any Gaming Lease not paid in cash during the relevant period or other non-cash amounts incurred in respect of the Master Leases or any Gaming Lease; provided that any “true-up” of rent paid in cash pursuant to the Master Leases or any Gaming Lease shall be accounted for in the fiscal quarter to which such payment relates as if such payment were originally made in such fiscal quarter.

ARTICLE II.

THE NOTES

Section 2.01 Amount of Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture on the Issue Date is $2,000,000,000.

The Company may from time to time after the Issue Date issue Additional Notes under this Indenture in an unlimited principal amount, so long as (i) the Incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such Additional Notes is at such time permitted by Section 4.03 and (ii) such Additional Notes are issued in compliance with the other applicable provisions of this Indenture. With respect to any Additional Notes issued after the Issue Date (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 3.06, 4.06(d), 4.08(c) or Appendix A), there shall be (a) established in or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors and (b) (i) set forth or determined in the manner provided in an Officer’s Certificate or (ii) established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, prior to the issuance of such Additional Notes:

(1) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture;

(2) the issue price and issuance date of such Additional Notes, including the date from which interest on such Additional Notes shall accrue;

(3) if applicable, that such Additional Notes shall be issuable in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Notes and, in such case, the respective depositaries for such Global Notes, the form of any legend or legends which shall be borne by such Global Notes in addition to or in lieu of those set forth in Exhibit A hereto and any circumstances in addition to or in lieu of those set forth in Section 2.2 of Appendix A in which any such Global Note may be exchanged in whole or in part for Additional Notes registered, or any transfer of such Global Note in whole or in part may be registered, in the name or names of Persons other than the depositary for such Global Note or a nominee thereof; and

(4) if applicable, that such Additional Notes that are not Transfer Restricted Notes shall be issued without a Restricted Notes Legend.

If any of the terms of any Additional Notes are established by action taken pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officer’s Certificate or the supplemental indenture hereto setting forth the terms of the Additional Notes.

The Initial Notes and any Additional Notes, may, at the Company’s option, be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; provided that if the Additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number, if applicable.

Section 2.02 Form and Dating. Provisions relating to the Initial Notes are set forth in Appendix A, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The (i) Initial Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication and (ii) any Additional 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 Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company). Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without interest coupons and in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided that book-entry positions may be created at the depositary by a depositary participant in denominations of less than $2,000.

Section 2.03 Execution and Authentication. The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery upon a written order of the Company signed by one Officer (a) Initial Notes for original issue on the date hereof in an aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000,000 and (b) subject to the terms of this Indenture, Additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount to be determined at the time of issuance and specified therein. Such order shall specify the amount of separate Note certificates to be authenticated, the principal amount of each of the Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated and the registered holder of each of the Notes and delivery instructions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or Appendix A, any issuance of Additional Notes after the Issue Date shall be in a principal amount of at least $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000.

At least one Officer must sign the Notes for the Company by manual, facsimile or other electronic signature.

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

A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

The Trustee may appoint one or more authenticating agents reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Notes. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by a Trust Officer, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Company. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.

Section 2.04 Registrar and Paying Agent.

(a) The Company shall maintain (i) an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and (ii) an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrars. The term “Paying Agent” includes the Paying Agent and any additional paying agents. The Company initially appoint the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and the Notes Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

(b) The Company may enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Company or any of its domestically organized Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

(c) The Company may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) if applicable, acceptance of an appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Company and such successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above. The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Company and the Trustee; provided, however, that the Trustee may resign as Paying Agent or Registrar only if the Trustee also resigns as Trustee in accordance with Section 7.08.

Section 2.05 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. No later than the Business Day prior to each due date of the principal of and interest on any Note, the Company shall deposit with each Paying Agent (or if the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is acting as Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto) a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that a Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of holders or the Trustee all money held by a Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company in making any such payment. If the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.05, a Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.

Section 2.06 Holder Lists. The Registrar shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to furnish, to the Trustee, in writing at least five 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 holders.

Section 2.07 Transfer and Exchange. 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. When a Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if its requirements therefor are met. When Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to

pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section 2.07. The Company shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of Notes to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed.

Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such beneficial interest, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the holder of such Global Note (or its agent) or (b) any holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.

All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

Section 2.08 Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met, such that the holder (a) satisfies the Company and the Trustee within a reasonable time after such holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Registrar does not register a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to the Company and the Trustee prior to the Note being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code (a “protected purchaser”) and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Company and the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Company, such holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar from any loss or liability that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced and subsequently presented or claimed for payment. The Company and the Trustee may charge the holder for its expenses in replacing a Note (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements in replacing such Note). In the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may pay such Note instead of issuing a new Note in replacement thereof.

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company.

The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Notes.

Section 2.09 Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.09 as not outstanding. Subject to Section 13.06, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because one of the Company or an Affiliate of one of the Company holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.08.

If a Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and no Paying Agent is prohibited from paying such money to the holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

Section 2.10 [Reserved].

Section 2.11 Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and each Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes they have redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall not authenticate Notes in place of canceled Notes other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Company shall pay the defaulted interest then borne by the Notes (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Company may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are holders on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed to each affected holder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

Section 2.13 CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, Etc. The Company in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers, either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes and that any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall advise the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” 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 2.09 and Section 13.06 of this Indenture. Any such calculation made pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be made by the Company and delivered to the Trustee pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate.

Section 2.15 Mandatory Disposition Pursuant to Gaming Laws. Each Person that holds or acquires beneficial ownership of any of the Notes shall be deemed to have agreed, by accepting such Notes, that if any such Gaming Authority requires such Person to be approved, licensed, qualified or found suitable under applicable Gaming Laws, such holder or beneficial owner, as the case may be, shall apply for a license, qualification or finding of suitability within the required time period.

If a person required to apply or become licensed or qualified or be found suitable fails to do so (a “Disqualified Holder”), the Company shall have the right, at its election, (1) to require such Person to dispose of its Notes or beneficial interest therein within 30 days of receipt of notice of such election or such earlier date as may be required by such Gaming Authority or (2) to redeem such Notes at a redemption price that, unless otherwise directed by such Gaming Authority, shall be at a redemption price that is equal to the lesser of:

(a) such Person’s cost; or

(b) 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the earlier of (i) the redemption date or (ii) the date such Person became a Disqualified Holder.

The Company shall notify the Trustee and applicable Gaming Authority in writing of any such redemption as soon as practicable. The Company shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses any such holder may incur in connection with its application for a license, qualification or finding of suitability.

In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (and, in such manner that complies with the requirements of the Depository and the compliance procedures of any securities exchange on which such Notes are then listed, if applicable); provided that no Notes of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Notes that have denominations of $2,000 or larger. Notes and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in amounts of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(b) At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall deliver the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense. In such event, the Company shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section 3.05 at least two Business Days prior to the date such notice is to be provided to holders in the final form such notice is to be delivered to holders and such notice may not be canceled. Notice of any redemption upon any corporate transaction or other event (including any Equity Offering, Incurrence of Indebtedness, Change of Control or other transaction) may be given prior to the completion thereof. In addition, any such redemption described above or notice thereof may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of a corporate transaction or other event. If any redemption is so subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the notice thereof shall describe each such condition and, if applicable, shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion) by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed (which may exceed 60 days from the date of the redemption notice in such case). In addition, the Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

Section 3.06 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed or otherwise delivered in accordance with Section 3.05 but subject to satisfaction of any conditions specified in such notice, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice, except as provided in the final sentence of Paragraph 5 of the Notes.

(xxxvi) at any time that the CRC Credit Agreement or the CRC Secured Indenture are in effect, Indebtedness (including Guarantees) of CRC and its Subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness that would be permitted to be Incurred on the date of Incurrence thereof by CRC and its Subsidiaries pursuant to clause (2) of the Incremental Amount (as defined in the CRC Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof immediately prior to the 2023 Refinancing Transactions and giving effect to the proviso to such definition) as permitted under Section 2.21 of the CRC Credit Agreement, Section 6.01(h) of the CRC Credit Agreement, Section 6.01(r) of the CRC Credit Agreement, Section 6.01(dd) of the CRC Credit Agreement and clause (2) of the Incremental Amount (as defined in the CRC Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof immediately prior to the 2023 Refinancing Transactions and giving effect to the proviso to such definition) as permitted under Section 6.01(ee) of the CRC Credit Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof immediately prior to the 2023 Refinancing Transactions and whether incurred under the CRC Credit Agreement or pursuant to a separate instrument) (it being agreed that any Indebtedness (including Guarantees) of CRC and its Subsidiaries Incurred (or committed) pursuant to this clause (xxxvi) while the CRC Credit Agreement or the CRC Secured Indenture is in effect shall be permitted by this clause (xxxvi) after the CRC Credit Agreement and the CRC Secured

Indenture are terminated); provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness Incurred under this clause (xxxvi), when aggregated with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness then outstanding and Incurred pursuant to this clause (xxxvi), does not exceed (x) $5,425.0 million, minus (y) the aggregate principal amount of the “Term B Loans” and the “Term B-1 Loans” (each under and as defined in the CRC Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof immediately prior to the 2023 Refinancing Transactions) that are repaid on the Issue Date in connection with the 2023 Refinancing Transactions;

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.03:

(i) in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (i) through (xxxiv) of Section 4.03(b) or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(a), the Company shall, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify or later divide, classify or reclassify (as if incurred at such later time), such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.03 and at the time of Incurrence, classification or reclassification shall be entitled to only include the amount and type of such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in one of the above paragraphs or clauses (or any portion thereof) and such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) shall be treated as having been Incurred or existing pursuant to only such paragraph or clause or paragraphs or clauses (or any portion thereof) without giving pro forma effect to any such item (or portion thereof) when calculating the amount of Indebtedness that may be Incurred, classified or reclassified pursuant to any other paragraph or clause (or portion thereof) at such time; and

(ii) if the use of proceeds from any Incurrence of Indebtedness is to fund the refinancing of any Indebtedness, then such refinancing shall be deemed to have occurred substantially simultaneously with such Incurrence so long as (1) such refinancing occurs on the same business day as such Incurrence, (2) if such proceeds will be offered (through a tender offer or otherwise) to the holders of such Indebtedness to be refinanced, the proceeds thereof are deposited with a trustee, agent or other representative for such holders pending the completion of such offer on the same business day as such Incurrence (and such proceeds are ultimately used in the consummation of such offer or otherwise used to refinance Indebtedness), (3) if such proceeds will be used to fund the redemption, discharge or defeasance of such Indebtedness to be refinanced, the proceeds thereof are deposited with a trustee, agent or other representative for such Indebtedness pending such redemption, discharge or defeasance on the same business day as such Incurrence or (4) the proceeds thereof are otherwise set aside to fund such refinancing (and such proceeds are ultimately used for such refinancing).

Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as applicable, amortization of original issue discount, the accretion of 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, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 4.03 and for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred under this Indenture on the date of Incurrence, any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness shall also be permitted hereunder after the date of such Incurrence. 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 4.03.

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 (in respect of term Indebtedness) or committed (in respect of revolving Indebtedness) to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency (or in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced), 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 plus the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums (including tender premiums), defeasance costs and other costs and expenses Incurred in connection with such refinancing.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.03, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness, solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. 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 4.04 Limitation on Restricted Payments.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(ii) purchase or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity Interests of the Company;

(iii) make any principal payment on, or redeem, repurchase, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, in each case prior to any scheduled repayment or scheduled maturity, any Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor (other than the payment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, acquisition or retirement of (A) Subordinated Indebtedness in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund Obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of such payment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, acquisition or retirement and (B) Indebtedness permitted under clauses (vii) and (ix) of Section 4.03(b)); or

(iv) make any Restricted Investment

(B) the declaration and payment of dividends on the Retired Capital Stock out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of Refunding Capital Stock; and

(iii) the redemption, repurchase, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, new Indebtedness of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor which is Incurred in accordance with Section 4.03 so long as:

(A) the principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of such new Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable), plus any accrued and unpaid interest, of the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, defeased, acquired or retired for value (plus the amount of any premium required to be paid under the terms of the instrument governing the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired, any tender premiums, plus any defeasance costs, fees and expenses Incurred in connection therewith);

(B) such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations in respect of the Notes, as the case may be, at least to the same extent as such Subordinated Indebtedness so purchased, exchanged, redeemed, repurchased, defeased, acquired or retired for value;

(C) such Indebtedness has a final scheduled maturity date equal to or later than the earlier of (x) the final scheduled maturity date of the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired and (y) 91 days following the last maturity date of any Notes then outstanding; and

(D) such Indebtedness has a Weighted Average Life to Maturity at the time Incurred which is not less than the shorter of (x) the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, defeased, acquired or retired and (y) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity that would result if all payments of principal on the Subordinated Indebtedness being redeemed, repurchased, defeased, acquired or retired that were due on or after the date that is 91 days following the last maturity date of any Notes then outstanding were instead due on such date;

(iv) a Restricted Payment to pay for the repurchase, retirement or other acquisition for value of Equity Interests of the Company held by any future, present or former employee, director or consultant of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to any management equity plan or stock option plan or any other management or employee benefit plan or other agreement or arrangement; provided, however, that the aggregate Restricted Payments made under this clause (iv) do not exceed $45.0 million in any calendar year (with unused amounts in any calendar year being permitted to be carried over to succeeding calendar years subject to a maximum (without giving effect to the following proviso) of $90.0 million in any calendar year); provided, further however, that such amount in any calendar year may be increased by an amount not to exceed:

(B) the cash proceeds of key man life insurance policies received by the Company or the Restricted Subsidiaries after July 6, 2020;

provided that the Company may elect to apply all or any portion of the aggregate increase contemplated by clauses (A) and (B) above in any calendar year; and provided, further, that cancellation of Indebtedness owing to the Company or any Subsidiary from any present or former employees, directors, officers or consultants of the Company, any of the Subsidiaries or their direct or indirect parents in connection with a repurchase of Equity Interests of the Company will not be deemed to constitute a Restricted Payment for purposes of this Section 4.04 or any other provision of this Indenture;

restatements, renewals, extensions, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Company, not more restrictive in any material respect with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in the dividend or other payment restrictions, taken as a whole, prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing or are otherwise in accordance with the terms of the applicable intercreditor agreement.

shall be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for the purposes of this Section 4.06(a).

(b) Within 18 months after the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s (or in the case of an Interactive Entertainment Unrestricted Subsidiary Sale or a Convention Center Unrestricted Subsidiary Sale, an Unrestricted Subsidiary’s) receipt of the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale, at its option:

(i) to repay (A) Indebtedness constituting First Priority Lien Obligations (and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be entitled to repay such other First Priority Lien Obligations prior to repaying (or making any offer to repay) the Notes Obligations, (B) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor (or in the case of an Interactive Entertainment Unrestricted Subsidiary Sale or a Convention Center Unrestricted Subsidiary Sale, Indebtedness of an Unrestricted Subsidiary), (C) Notes Obligations or (D) Indebtedness constituting Pari Passu Indebtedness other than First Priority Lien Obligations so long as the Net Proceeds are with respect to assets not constituting Collateral (provided that if any Subsidiary Guarantor shall so reduce Obligations under unsecured Pari Passu Indebtedness under this clause (D), the Company will equally and ratably reduce Notes Obligations as provided pursuant to Section 3.01, through open-market purchases (provided that such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof or, in the event that the Notes were issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer or a Collateral Asset Sale Offer, as applicable) to all holders to purchase at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof or, in the event that the Notes were issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, the pro rata principal amount of Notes), in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Company; or

(ii) 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, or 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 (it being understood that in the case of a casualty event or condemnation of property under a Master Lease or a Gaming Lease, such property so repaired, replaced, restored or otherwise acquired may be owned by the landlord under such Master Lease or a Gaming Lease and leased to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company under a Master Lease or a Gaming Lease, as applicable).

In the case of Section 4.06(b)(ii), 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 cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are so applied, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another binding commitment (a “Second Commitment”) within six months of such cancellation or termination of the prior binding commitment; provided, further that the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may only enter into a Second Commitment under the foregoing provision one time with respect to each Asset Sale and to the extent such Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds or Collateral Excess Proceeds, as applicable. Pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Company 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 prohibited by this Indenture.

Any Net Proceeds received from Asset Sales of Collateral that are not invested or applied as set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 4.06(b) (it being understood that any portion of such Net Proceeds used to make an offer to purchase Notes, as described in clause (i) of this Section 4.06(b), shall be deemed to have been invested whether or not such offer is accepted) will be deemed to constitute “Collateral Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds exceeds $180.0 million in any fiscal year, the Company shall make an offer to all holders of the Notes and, if required by the terms of any First Priority Lien Obligations or Obligations secured by a Lien permitted under this Indenture (which Lien is not subordinate to the Lien of the Notes with respect to the Collateral), to the holders of such First Priority Lien Obligations or such other Obligations (a “Collateral Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes and such First Priority Lien Obligations or such other Obligations that is a minimum of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof that may be purchased out of the Collateral Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or, in the event such First Priority Lien Obligations were issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (or, in respect of such First Priority Lien Obligations, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such First Priority Lien Obligations), to, but excluding, the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. The Company will commence a Collateral Asset Sale Offer with respect to Collateral Excess Proceeds within ten (10) Business Days after the date that the Collateral Excess Proceeds exceed $180.0 million in any fiscal year by mailing, or delivered electronically if held by DTC, the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee.

Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales of non-Collateral that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 4.06(b) (it being understood that any portion of such Net Proceeds used to make an offer to purchase Notes, as described in clause (i) of this Section 4.06(b), shall be deemed to have been invested whether or not such offer is accepted) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $180.0 million in a fiscal year, the Company shall make an offer to all holders of Notes (and, at the option of the Company, to holders of any Pari Passu Indebtedness) (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes (and such Pari Passu Indebtedness), that is at least $2,000 and an integral

multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof 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 Pari Passu Indebtedness was issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (or, in respect of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness), to, but excluding, the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.06. The Company will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten (10) Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceeds $180.0 million in a fiscal year by mailing, or delivered electronically if held by DTC, the notice required pursuant to the terms of Section 4.06(e), with a copy to the Trustee.

(c) To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and such other First Priority Lien Obligations or Obligations secured by a Lien permitted by this Indenture (which Lien is not subordinate to the Lien of the Notes with respect to the Collateral) tendered pursuant to a Collateral Asset Sale Offer is less than the Collateral Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Collateral Excess Proceeds for any purpose that is not prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes or other First Priority Lien Obligations or such other Obligations surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such other First Priority Lien Obligations or such other Obligations to be purchased in the manner described in Section 4.06(d). To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes (and such Pari Passu Indebtedness) tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose that is not prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes (and such Pari Passu Indebtedness) surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased in the manner described in Section 4.06(d). Upon completion of any such Collateral Asset Sale Offer or Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds or Excess Proceeds, as the case may be, shall be reset at zero. The Company 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 a Collateral Asset Sale Offer or an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof.

(d) If more Notes (and such First Priority Lien Obligations or Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable) are tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer or a Collateral Asset Sale Offer than the Company is required to purchase, selection of such Notes for purchase shall be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such Notes are listed, or if such Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (and in such manner as complies with the requirements of DTC, if applicable); provided that no Notes of $2,000 or less shall be purchased in part; provided, further that, with respect to any Notes held by DTC, selection of Notes for purchase shall be made in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures. Selection of such First Priority Lien Obligations or Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, shall be made pursuant to the terms of such First Priority Lien Obligations or Pari Passu Indebtedness.

(e) Notices of an Asset Sale Offer or a Collateral Asset Sale Offer shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid by the Company, or delivered electronically if held at DTC, at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the purchase date to each holder of Notes at such holder’s registered address. If any Note is to be purchased in part only, any notice of purchase that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that has been or is to be purchased.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 4.06 to the contrary, (i) to the extent that any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale or Net Insurance Proceeds of any Taking or Destruction of a Foreign Subsidiary is prohibited, restricted or delayed by applicable local law or material documents (including constituent and organizational documents) from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Proceeds or Net Insurance Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to make an Asset Sale Offer or Collateral Asset Sale Offer but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law or material documents will not permit repatriation to the United States, and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds or Net Insurance Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law or material documents, such repatriation will be effected and such repatriated Net Proceeds or Net Insurance Proceeds will be promptly applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to make an Asset Sale Offer or Collateral Asset Sale Offer to the extent provided herein, (ii) to the extent that the Company has determined in good faith that repatriation of any or all of such Net Proceeds or Net Insurance Proceeds could reasonably be expected to have an adverse tax cost consequence that is not de minimis with respect to such Net Proceeds or Net Insurance Proceeds, the Net Proceeds or Net Insurance Proceeds so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary (the Company hereby agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not be required to extend beyond twelve (12) months after the applicable prepayment date) to eliminate such tax effects in its reasonable control in order to make such prepayments), (iii) to the extent that any Net Proceeds or Net Insurance Proceeds is required to be applied to prepay Indebtedness of CRC or its Subsidiaries by the terms of the documents governing such Indebtedness, or to be reinvested by CRC or its Subsidiaries by the terms of the documents governing any such Indebtedness, or cannot be distributed by CRC to the Company in accordance with the terms of the documents governing any such Indebtedness, the portion of such Net Proceeds or Net Insurance Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to make an Asset Sale Offer or Collateral Asset Sale Offer but may be retained by CRC and its Subsidiaries and (iv) to the extent that any Net Proceeds or Net Insurance Proceeds cannot be distributed by CEC in accordance with the MLSAs, the portion of such Net Proceeds or Net Insurance Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to make an Asset Sale Offer or Collateral Asset Sale Offer but may be retained by CEC and its Subsidiaries. For the avoidance of doubt, the non-application of any amounts required to be applied to make an Asset Sale Offer or Collateral Asset Sale Offer as a consequence of the foregoing provisions does not constitute a Default or an Event of Default, and such amounts shall be available for working capital purposes of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries so long as not required to be prepaid or used to make an offer to repurchase in accordance with the foregoing provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any prepayments or offers to repurchase required after application of the above provision shall be net of any costs, expenses or taxes Incurred by the Company or any of its Affiliates and arising as a result of compliance with the preceding sentence. For the avoidance of doubt, amounts that are not required to be applied to make an Asset Sale Offer or Collateral Asset Sale Offer due the operation of this paragraph shall not constitute “Excess Proceeds” or “Collateral Excess Proceeds” for any purpose.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall cause (1) any Convention Center Unrestricted Subsidiary that receives Convention Center Unrestricted Subsidiary Sale Proceeds to promptly distribute the Net Proceeds thereof to the Company for application in accordance with this Section 4.06 and (2) any Interactive Entertainment Unrestricted Subsidiary that receives Interactive Entertainment Subsidiary Sale Proceeds to promptly distribute the Net Proceeds thereof to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary for application in accordance with this Section 4.06, in each case except to the extent applied to repay Indebtedness of an Unrestricted Subsidiary or such a distribution is otherwise prohibited by applicable law or the terms of any agreement binding on an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

Upon receipt of any such approvals, (i) the Company and the applicable Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries shall execute any and all further documents, agreement and instruments, and take all such further actions as necessary under this Indenture in order to evidence the guarantee of the Notes by such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of a supplemental indenture to this Indenture and (ii) such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent or the Trustee joinders to Security Documents or new Security Documents and take all actions required by such Security Documents to perfect the Liens created thereunder to the extent required by the Security Documents (in each case, to the extent such Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiaries are not otherwise excluded from the requirement to provide a guarantee pursuant to this Indenture).

Section 4.12 Liens.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, Incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (except Permitted Liens) that secures any Indebtedness on any asset or property of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, other than Liens securing Indebtedness that are junior in priority to the Liens on such property or assets securing the Notes.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.12, (i) a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of permitted Liens (or any portion thereof) described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” or pursuant to Section 4.12(a) but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof and (ii) in the event that a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of permitted Liens (or any portion thereof) described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” or pursuant to Section 4.12(a), the Company shall, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify (as if incurred at such later time), such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.12 and will be entitled to only include the amount and type of such Lien or such item of Indebtedness secured by such Lien (or any portion thereof) in one of the clauses of the definition of “Permitted Liens” or pursuant to Section 4.12(a) and in such event, such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) will be treated as being Incurred or existing pursuant to only one of such clauses (or any portion thereof) or pursuant to Section 4.12(a) without giving pro forma effect to such item (or any portion thereof) when calculating the amount of Liens or Indebtedness that may be Incurred, classified or reclassified pursuant to any other clause (or any portion thereof) at such time.

(c) With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms or in the form of common stock, if any, of the Company,

100

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 or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness described in clause (3) of the definition of “Indebtedness.”

Section 4.13 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

(a) The Company shall maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee or Registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the corporate trust office of the Trustee as set forth in Section 14.02.

(b) The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

(c) The Company hereby designates the corporate trust office of the Trustee as set forth in Section 14.02 as such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.04. No office of the Trustee shall be an office or agency of the Company for the purposes of service of legal process on the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor.

Section 4.14 Covenant Suspension. If on any date following the Issue Date, (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from at least two of the Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, then, beginning on that day (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), and subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.11 and 5.01(a)(iv) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”).

If and while the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants, the Notes will be entitled to substantially less covenant protection. In the event that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) two of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events.

The Company shall promptly upon its occurrence deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate notifying the Trustee of the occurrence of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date, and the date thereof. The Trustee shall not have any obligation to monitor the occurrence or dates of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date and may rely conclusively on such Officer’s Certificate. The Trustee shall not have any obligation to notify the holders of the occurrence or dates of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date.

101

On each Reversion Date, all Indebtedness Incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension Period will be classified as having been Incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or 4.03(b) (to the extent such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock would be permitted to be Incurred or issued thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness Incurred or issued prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock would not be so permitted to be Incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or 4.03(b) such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.03(b)(iii). Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04 will be made as though Section 4.04 had been in effect since the Issue Date and prior, but not during, the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will not reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04(a). As described above, however, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred on the Reversion Date as a result of any actions taken by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period. Within 30 days of such Reversion Date, the Company must comply with the terms of Section 4.11.

For purposes of Section 4.06, on the Reversion Date, the unutilized Excess Proceeds amount will be reset to zero.

Section 4.15 Maintenance of Insurance. The Company shall maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, insurance (subject to customary deductibles and retentions) in such amounts and against such risks as are customarily maintained by similarly situated companies engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors may self-insure with respect to such risks with respect to which companies of established reputation in the same general line of business in the same general area usually self-insure.

Section 4.16 After-Acquired Property. Upon the acquisition by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor of any After-Acquired Property, the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required to execute and deliver such mortgages, deeds of trust, security instruments, financing statements and certificates, opinions of counsel or such other documentation substantially similar to the documentation delivered to secure First Priority Lien Obligations as shall be reasonably necessary to vest in the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Trustee and the First Lien Secured Parties, a perfected first priority security interest or lien, subject only to Permitted Liens, in such After-Acquired Property and to have such After-Acquired Property (but subject to certain limitations, if applicable, including as described in Article VII and the Security Documents) 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 to the same extent and with the same force and effect.

Section 4.17 Security Documents. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perfect all security interests in the Collateral (other than Excluded Assets) on or after the Issue Date and to the extent that any instrument or deliverable under the Security Documents is required to be delivered and is not delivered on or prior to the Issue Date, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Subsidiary Guarantors to, deliver such instruments and deliverables within 90 days following the Issue Date or such longer period of time as agreed to by the administrative agent under any Credit Agreement with respect to perfecting security interests in such Collateral thereunder under a provision in the security documents with respect to the Credit Agreement that exists in substantially the same form in the Security Documents.

102

Section 4.18 Further Assurances. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all further actions that may be required under applicable law, or that the Collateral Agent or the Trustee may reasonably request, in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the security interests and Liens created or intended to be created by Security Documents in the Collateral.

Section 4.19 Maintenance of Properties. Except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to (i) lawfully obtain, preserve, renew, extend and keep in full force and effect the permits, franchises, authorizations, patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and rights with respect thereto necessary to the normal conduct of its business, and (ii) at all times maintain and preserve all tangible property necessary to the normal conduct of its business and keep such property in good repair, working order and condition (ordinary wear and tear, casualty and condemnation excepted), from time to time make, or cause to be made, all needful and proper repairs, renewals, additions, improvements and replacements thereto necessary in order that the business carried on in connection therewith, if any, may be properly conducted at all times (in each case except as permitted by this Indenture).

ARTICLE V.

SUCCESSOR COMPANY

Section 5.01 When the Company May Merge or Transfer Assets.

(a) The Company may not, directly or indirectly, consolidate, amalgamate, consummate a Division as the Dividing Person (whether or not the Company is the surviving entity or the Division Successor, as applicable) or merge with or into or wind up or convert into (whether or not the Company is the surviving Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless:

(i) (x) the Company is the surviving Person or the Division Successor, as applicable, (y) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, winding up or conversion (if other than the Company) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company or similar entity organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia (the Company or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Issuer”); provided that in the case where the surviving Person is not a corporation, at least one other issuer is a corporation, or (z) in the case of a Division where the Company is the Dividing Person, either all Division Successors shall become co-issuer of the Notes or the Division, as to any Division Successor that will not be a co-issuer, is permitted by the covenant described above under Section 4.04 (it being understood for the avoidance of doubt that a Division by the Company constitutes a Restricted Payment);

(ii) the Successor Issuer (if other than the Company) expressly assumes all the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes pursuant to supplemental indentures or other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee;

103

(iii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Successor Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(iv) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction, as if such transaction had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Successor Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), either:

(A) the Successor Issuer would be permitted to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in Section 4.03(a); or

(B) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Successor Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not less than such ratio for such prior issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction; or

(C) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the Successor Issuer would be equal to or less than the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for such prior issuer immediately prior to such transaction;

(v) [reserved]; and

(vi) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, amalgamation or transfer and such supplemental indentures (if any) comply with this Indenture.

The Successor Issuer will succeed to, and be substituted for, the Company under this Indenture and the Notes, and in such event the Company will automatically be released and discharged from its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (iii) and (iv) of this Section 5.01(a), (a) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to another Restricted Subsidiary and (b) the Company may merge, consolidate or amalgamate with an Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of establishing the jurisdiction of formation of the Company in another state of the United States or the District of Columbia or may convert into a corporation, a limited partnership or a business trust, so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby. This Article V will not apply to a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of assets between or among the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 12.04 (which governs the release of assets and property securing the Notes of a Subsidiary Guarantor upon the sale or disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor), none of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall, and the Company shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, consolidate, amalgamate, consummate a Division as the Dividing Person (whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving entity or the Division Successor, as applicable) or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets of the Subsidiary Guarantors taken as a whole in one or more related transactions to, any Person unless:

104

(i) either (A) such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person or the Division Successor, as applicable, or the Person formed by or surviving any such Division, consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than such Subsidiary Guarantor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company or similar entity organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia (such Subsidiary Guarantor, such Division Successor or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Entity”) and the Successor Entity (if other than such Subsidiary Guarantor) expressly assumes all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture and the Security Documents pursuant to documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, or (B) such sale or disposition or consolidation, amalgamation or merger is not in violation of Section 4.06; and

(ii) the Successor Entity (if other than such Subsidiary Guarantor) shall have delivered or caused to be delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture.

Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, the Successor Entity (if other than such Subsidiary Guarantor) will succeed to, and be substituted for, the Company or Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations in respect of the Notes, and such Subsidiary Guarantor will automatically be released and discharged from its obligations under this Indenture and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations in respect of the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) a Subsidiary Guarantor may merge, amalgamate or consolidate with an Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of establishing the jurisdiction of formation in another state of the United States or the District of Columbia or for changing the form of such entity into a corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership or business trust so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Company or Subsidiary Guarantor is not increased thereby and (2) a Subsidiary Guarantor may merge, amalgamate or consolidate with another Subsidiary Guarantor.

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Subsidiary Guarantor may consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into or wind up into, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets (collectively, a “Transfer”) to any Subsidiary Guarantor.

ARTICLE VI.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.01 Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs with respect to the Notes if:

(a) there is a default in any payment of interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of 30 days;

(b) there is a default in the payment of principal or premium, if any, of any Note when due at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required repurchase, upon declaration or otherwise;

(c) the failure by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to comply for 60 days after notice with its other agreements contained in the Notes or this Indenture;

(d) the failure by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) to pay any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness owing to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) within any applicable grace period after final maturity or the acceleration of any such Indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a default, in each case, if the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $400.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent (the “cross-acceleration provision”);

105

(e) either the Company or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(i) commences a voluntary case;

(ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case;

(iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any substantial part of its property; or

(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency;

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

(i) is for relief against either the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case;

(ii) appoints a Custodian of either the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or for any substantial part of its property; or

(iii) orders the winding up or liquidation of either the Company or any Significant Subsidiary;

or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days (the “bankruptcy provision”);

(g) failure by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $400.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent (net of any amounts which are covered by enforceable insurance policies issued by solvent carriers), which judgments are not discharged, waived or stayed for a period of 60 consecutive days (the “judgment default provision”);

(h) the Note Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms thereof);

(i) unless all of the Collateral has been released from Liens securing the Notes Obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Liens securing the Notes Obligations on any material portion of the Collateral cease to be (other than in accordance with the terms hereof) valid or enforceable or cease to create valid and perfected first-priority Liens (subject to Permitted Liens) and such Default continues for 30 days, or the Company shall assert, in any pleading in any court of competent jurisdiction, that any such security interest is invalid or unenforceable (other than in accordance with the terms hereof) and, in the case of any such Person that is a Subsidiary of the Company, the Company fails to cause such Subsidiary to rescind such assertions within 30 days after the Company has actual knowledge of such assertions; or

106

(j) the failure by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor to comply for 60 days after notice with its other agreements contained in the Security Documents except for a failure that would not be material to the holders of the Notes and would not materially affect Liens on the Collateral securing the Notes Obligations or the value of the Collateral taken as a whole.

The foregoing shall constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

However, a default under clauses (c) or (j) above shall not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the holders of at least 30% in principal amount of outstanding Notes notify the Company of the default and the Company does not cure such default within the time specified in clauses (c) or (j) hereof 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 Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within five (5) Business 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 Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 6.02 Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e) or 6.01(f) hereof with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 30% in principal amount of outstanding Notes by notice to the Company may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable; provided, however, that so long as any Bank Indebtedness remains outstanding, no such acceleration shall be effective until the earlier of (1) five Business Days after the giving of written notice to the Company and the Representative under any Credit Agreement and (2) the day on which any Bank Indebtedness is accelerated. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e) or (f) with respect to the Company occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holders. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, on behalf of the holders of all of the Notes, may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences; provided such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

In the event of any Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d) above, 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 Company 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.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes, this Indenture or the Security Documents.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. To the extent required by law, all available remedies are cumulative.

107

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. Provided the Notes are not then due and payable by reason of a declaration of acceleration, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes by written notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default and its consequences except (a) a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on a Note, (b) a Default arising from the failure to redeem or purchase any Note when required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or (c) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each holder affected. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured and the Company, the Trustee and the holders will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right.

Section 6.05 Control by Majority. The holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or Trust Officers shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed might involve the Trustee in personal liability or expense for which it is not adequately indemnified, or subject to Section 7.01, that is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder or that might involve the Trustee in personal or financial liability. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification and security satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

(a) Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

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

(ii) holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(iii) such holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security and indemnity against any loss, liability or expense;

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

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

(b) A holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another holder.

108

Section 6.07 Rights of the Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the contractual right of any holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on the Notes held by such holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder.

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any other obligor on the Notes for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on overdue principal and (to the extent lawful) on any unpaid interest at the rate provided for in the Notes) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07.

Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim, statements of interest and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation, expenses disbursements and advances of the Trustee (including counsel, accountants, experts or such other professionals as the Trustee deems necessary, advisable or appropriate)) and the holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, their creditors or their property (including in any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar case or proceeding), shall be entitled to participate as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matters and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian, bankruptcy trustee, or debtor-in-possession in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.

Section 6.10 Priorities. Subject to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any Junior Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents, any money or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article VI and any other money or property distributable in respect of the Company’s or any Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture after an Event of Default shall be applied in the following order:

FIRST: to the Trustee (acting in any capacity hereunder or in connection herewith) for amounts due under Section 7.07 and to the Collateral Agent for the amounts due under the Security Documents;

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

THIRD: to the Company or, to the extent the Trustee collects any amount for any Subsidiary Guarantor, to such Subsidiary Guarantor.

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

(a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Notes and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants, duties or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee (it being agreed that the permissive right of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty); and

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. The Trustee shall be under no duty to make any investigation as to any statement contained in any such instance, but may accept the same as conclusive evidence of the truth and accuracy of such statement or the correctness of such opinions. However, in the case of certificates or opinions required by any provision hereof to be provided to it, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

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

110

(e) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its own selection and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

(f) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note or other paper or document unless requested in writing to do so by the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney, at the expense of the Company and shall Incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

111

(g) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such holders shall have offered, and if requested provided, to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be Incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(j) Any action taken, or omitted to be taken, by the Trustee in good faith pursuant to this Indenture upon the request or authority or consent of any person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon future holders of Notes and upon Notes executed and delivered in exchange therefor or in place thereof.

(k) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default is received by the Trustee in accordance with Section 6.01, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.

(l) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may be signed by any Person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any Person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

(m) The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of actions.

(n) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the trusts and powers under this Indenture.

(o) The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fire; flood; terrorism; wars and other military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; pandemics; riots; interruptions; loss or malfunction of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communication services; accidents; labor disputes; the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility; and acts of civil or military authorities and governmental action.

Delivery of reports, information and documents under Section 4.02 of this Indenture is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any of the information therein including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on Officer’s Certificates provided to it by the Company).

Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent or Registrar may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Section 7.10.

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Note Guarantees or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default under Sections 6.01(c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i) or (j), or of the identity of any Significant Subsidiary unless either (a) a Trust Officer shall have actual knowledge thereof or (b) the Trustee shall have actually received written notice thereof in accordance with Section 14.02 hereof from the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any holder. In accepting the trust hereby created, the Trustee acts solely as Trustee for the holders of the Notes and not in its individual capacity and all persons, including without limitation the holders of Notes and the Company having any claim against the Trustee arising from this Indenture shall look only to the funds and accounts held by the Trustee hereunder for payment except as otherwise provided herein.

Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each holder notice of the Default within the earlier of 90 days after it occurs or 30 days after it is actually known to a Trust Officer or written notice if it is received by the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the holders. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee, annually, a certificate indicating whether the signers thereof know of any Default that occurred during the previous year. The Company also is required to deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any event which would constitute certain Defaults, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof.

Section 7.06 [Reserved].

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee (acting in any capacity hereunder or in connection herewith) from time to time such compensation, as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing, for the Trustee’s acceptance of this Indenture and its services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee (acting in any capacity hereunder or in connection herewith) upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses Incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally shall indemnify the Trustee (acting in any capacity hereunder or in connection herewith), including its officers, directors, employees and agents, and shall hold them harmless, against any and all loss, liability, claim,

113

damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) Incurred by or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture or Note Guarantee against the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against or investigating any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, any holder or any other Person). The obligation to pay such amounts, including any indemnification, shall survive the payment in full or defeasance of the Notes or the removal or resignation of the Trustee. The Trustee shall notify the Company of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that any failure so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the indemnified party shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Company’s expense in the defense. Such indemnified parties may have separate counsel and the Company and such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes such indemnified parties’ defense and, in such indemnified parties’ reasonable judgment, there is no conflict of interest between the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, and such parties in connection with such defense. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense Incurred by an indemnified party through such party’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

To secure the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes.

The Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture, any rejection or termination of this Indenture under any bankruptcy law or the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee Incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law (including under Section 507 of the Bankruptcy Code).

No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise Incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity or security against any such loss, risk, liability or expense is not assured to its satisfaction.

Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Company shall remove the Trustee if:

(i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

(ii) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

(iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(iv) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

114

(b) If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Company or by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes and such holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

(c) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07.

(d) If a successor Xxxxxxx does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the holders of 10% in principal amount of the Notes may petition at the expense of the Company any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e) If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(f) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Xxxxxx. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to another entity, the resulting, surviving or transferee entity without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any parties hereto shall automatically be the successor Trustee, provided such entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article 7.

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion, consolidation or transfer to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

ARTICLE VIII.

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01 Discharge of Liability on Notes; Defeasance.

(a) This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except as to certain surviving provisions, including with respect to rights of registration or transfer or exchange of Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) as to all outstanding Notes when:

(i) either (a) all the Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which 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 Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (b) all of the Notes (1) have become due and payable, (2) will become due and payable at its Stated Maturity within one year or (3) if redeemable at the option of the Company, 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 Company, and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the date of deposit together with irrevocable instructions from the Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be; provided that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited 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 the notice of redemption, with any deficit as of the date of the redemption only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of the redemption;

(ii) the Company and/or the Subsidiary Guarantors have paid all other sums payable under this Indenture; and

(iii) the Company has 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.

(b) Subject to Sections 8.01(c) and 8.02, the Company at any time may terminate (i) all of its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (with respect to the holders of the Notes) (“legal defeasance option”) or (ii) its obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.11, 4.12, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18, and 4.19 and the operation of Section 5.01 for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, and Sections 6.01(c), 6.01(d) and Sections 6.01(e) and 6.01(f) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries only), 6.01(g), 6.01(h), 6.01(i) and 6.01(j) (“covenant defeasance option”). The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option. In the event that the Company terminates all of its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (with respect to such Notes) by exercising its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to the Notes and of the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to the Security Documents (with respect to the Notes Obligations) shall be terminated simultaneously with the termination of such obligations.

If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Notes so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto. If the Company exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Notes so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(c), 6.01(d), 6.01(e), 6.01(f), 6.01(i) and 6.01(j) (with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries), 6.01(g) and 6.01(h) or because of the failure of the Company to comply with Section 5.01.

116

Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Company terminates.

(c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Company’s obligations in Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 7.07, 7.08 and in this Article VIII shall survive until the Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Company’s obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

Section 8.02 Conditions to Defeasance.

(a) The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option only if:

(i) the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee cash in U.S. Dollars, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof sufficient to pay the principal of and premium (if any) and interest on the Notes when due at maturity or redemption, as the case may be, including interest thereon to maturity or such redemption date; provided that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited 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 the notice of redemption, with any deficit as of the date of the redemption only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of the redemption;

(ii) the Company delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing its opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest when due on all the Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

(iii) no Default specified in Section 6.01(e) or (f) with respect to the Company shall have occurred or is continuing on the date of such deposit;

(iv) the deposit does not constitute a default under any other agreement binding on the Company and is not prohibited by Article X;

(v) in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (1) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (2) since the date of this Indenture 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, the beneficial holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and 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 deposit and defeasance had not occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by the immediately preceding sentence with respect to a legal defeasance need not be delivered if all of the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (x) have become due and payable or (y) will become due and payable at its Stated Maturity within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company;

117

(vi) such exercise does not impair the right of any holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefore or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such holder’s Notes;

(vii) in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and 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 deposit and defeasance had not occurred; and

(viii) the Company deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Notes to be so defeased and discharged as contemplated by this Article VIII have been complied with.

(b) Before or after a deposit, the Company may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of such Notes at a future date in accordance with Article III.

Section 8.03 Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations (including proceeds thereof) deposited with it pursuant to this Article VIII. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations through each Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes so discharged or defeased.

Section 8.04 Repayment to the Company. Each of the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Company upon request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in this Article VIII which, in the written opinion of nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants delivered to the Trustee (which delivery shall only be required if U.S. Government Obligations have been so deposited), are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent discharge or defeasance in accordance with this Article VIII.

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors, and the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies.

Section 8.05 Indemnity for U.S. Government Obligations. The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations.

Section 8.06 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII 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 Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes so discharged or defeased shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article VIII until such time as the Trustee or any Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII; provided, however, that, if the Company has made any payment of principal, or premium, or interest on, any such Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent.

(xii) to amend, waive or modify this Indenture, the Notes, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any Security Document as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law or this Indenture or in each case to otherwise enhance, protect or preserve the rights or benefits of any holder of Notes under this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees.

(b) After an amendment under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the holders a notice briefly describing such amendment.

Section 9.02 With Consent of the Holders.

(a) The Company, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange) and any past default or compliance with any provisions may be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. However, without the consent of each holder of an outstanding Note affected, an amendment may not:

(1) reduce the amount of Notes whose holders must consent to an amendment;

(2) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Note;

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

(4) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note or change the time at which any Note may be redeemed in accordance with Article III;

(5) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in such Note;

(6) expressly subordinate the Notes in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor;

(7) impair the contractual right of any holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor;

(9) make any change in the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or this Indenture dealing with the application of proceeds of Collateral that would adversely affect the holders of the Notes.

Except as expressly provided by this Indenture, without the consent of holders of at least 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, no amendment may modify or release the Note Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary in any manner adverse to the holders of the Notes. In addition, except as expressly provided by this Indenture, without the consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, no amendment or waiver may release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Lien of this Indenture and the Security Documents with respect to the Notes.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.02.

Section 9.03 [Reserved].

Section 9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers.

(a) A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a holder of a Note shall bind the holder and every subsequent holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note. However, any such holder or subsequent holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such holder’s Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officer’s Certificate from the Company certifying that the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every holder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the (i) receipt by the Company or the Trustee of consents by the holders of the requisite principal amount of securities, (ii) satisfaction of conditions to effectiveness as set forth in this Indenture and any indenture supplemental hereto containing such amendment or waiver and (iii) execution of such amendment or waiver (or supplemental indenture) by the Company and the Trustee.

(b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the holders entitled to give its consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were holders at such record date (or its duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, 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.

Section 9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Company may require the holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding the changed terms and return it to the holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determine, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

121

Section 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and shall be provided with, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof and that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of the supplemental indenture have been complied with.

Section 9.07 Additional Voting Terms; Calculation of Principal Amount. All Notes issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent together on all matters (as to which any of such Notes may vote) as one class and no Notes will have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter. Determinations as to whether holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent shall be made in accordance with this Article IX and Section 2.14.

ARTICLE XIII.

GUARANTEE

Section 13.01 Guarantee.

(a) Each Subsidiary Guarantor, by executing this Indenture or a supplemental indenture, hereby jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to each holder, to the Trustee and to the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns (i) the performance and punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Company under this Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee and to the Collateral Agent) and the Notes, whether for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on in respect of the Notes and all other monetary obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Company whether for fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise under this Indenture and the Notes (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guaranteed Obligations of all Subsidiary Guarantors shall be secured by first-priority security interests (subject to Permitted Liens and Liens permitted by Section 4.12) in the Collateral owned by such Subsidiary Guarantor on a pari passu basis with all other First Priority Lien Obligations pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from any Subsidiary Guarantor, and that each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article XIII notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

(b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (iv) the release of any security held by any holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or each Subsidiary Guarantor; (v) the failure of any holder or Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (vi) any change in the ownership of each Subsidiary Guarantor, except as provided in Section 13.02(b). Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have its obligations hereunder divided among the Subsidiary Guarantors, such that such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations would be less than the full amount claimed.

(c) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets of the Company first be used and depleted as payment of the Company’s or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to require that the Company be sued prior to an action being initiated against such Subsidiary Guarantor.

129

(d) Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(e) The Note Guarantee of each Subsidiary Guarantor is, to the extent and in the manner set forth in Article XIII, equal in right of payment to all existing and future Pari Passu Indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all existing and future Subordinated Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor. Pursuant to the Security Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the security interests securing the Note Guarantees will be equal in priority (subject to Permitted Liens and Liens permitted by Section 4.12) to all security interests in the Collateral granted to secure the First Priority Lien Obligations.

(f) Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.01(b), 12.02 and 12.06, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Subsidiary Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

(g) Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that its Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded, avoided, or must otherwise be restored by any holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

(h) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) and (iii) all other monetary obligations of the Company to the holders and the Trustee.

(i) Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the holders in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI for the purposes of the Note Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article VI, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for the purposes of this Section 13.01.

130

(j) Each Subsidiary Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) Incurred by the Trustee or any holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 13.01.

(k) Upon request of the Trustee, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture although the Trustee shall have no obligation to make any such request.

Section 13.02 Limitation on Liability.

(a) Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by each Subsidiary Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed by the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor without rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

(b) A Note Guarantee as to any Subsidiary that executes a supplemental indenture in accordance with Section 4.11 hereof and provides a guarantee shall terminate and be of no further force or effect and such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed to be released from all obligations under this Article XIII upon:

(i) the sale, disposition, exchange or other transfer (including through merger, consolidation, amalgamation or otherwise) of the Capital Stock (including any sale, disposition or other transfer following which the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary), of the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor if such sale, disposition, exchange or other transfer is made in a manner not in violation of this Indenture;

(ii) the Company designating such Subsidiary Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04 and the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary”;

(iii) the release or discharge of the borrowing or guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor of the Indebtedness which resulted in the obligation to guarantee the Notes;

(iv) the Company’s exercise of its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option under Article VIII or if the Company’s obligations under this Indenture are discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and

(v) such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Subsidiary as a result of any foreclosure of any pledge or security interest in favor of the First Priority Lien Obligations, subject to, in each case, the application of the proceeds of such foreclosure in accordance with Section 12.04.

131

Section 13.03 Successors and Assigns. This Article XIII shall be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

Section 13.04 No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article XIII shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article XIII at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

Section 13.05 Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article XIII, nor the consent to any departure by any Subsidiary Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Subsidiary Guarantor in any case shall entitle any Subsidiary Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

Section 13.06 Execution of Supplemental Indenture for Future Guarantors. Each Subsidiary and other Person which is required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor of the Notes pursuant to Section 4.11 shall promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit C hereto pursuant to which such Subsidiary or other Person shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article XIII and shall guarantee the Notes.

Section 13.07 Non-Impairment. The failure to endorse a Note Guarantee on any Note shall not affect or impair the validity thereof.

134

Section 14.06 When Notes Disregarded. In determining whether the holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which a Trust Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Subject to the foregoing, only Notes outstanding at the time shall be considered in any such determination.

Each holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

Section 14.11 Successors. All agreements of the Company and a Subsidiary Guarantor in this Indenture and the Notes shall bind such person’s successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors.

Section 14.12 Multiple Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. One signed copy is enough to prove this Indenture. The exchange of copies of this Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or other electronic format (e.g., “.pdf” or “.tif”) transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Indenture for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or electronic format (e.g., “.pdf” or “.tif”) shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

Unless otherwise provided herein or in any of the Notes, the words “execute”, “execution”, “signed”, and “signature” and words of similar import used in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Indenture, any Notes or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including amendments, waivers, consents and other modifications) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures and the keeping of records in electronic form, including DocuSign or such other digital signature provider as specified in writing to Trustee by an Officer of the Company, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature in ink or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as applicable, to the fullest extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, and any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic

135

The Company agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of using digital signatures and electronic methods to submit communications to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

Section 14.13 Table of Contents; Headings. The table of contents, cross-reference sheet and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not intended to be considered a part hereof and shall not modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.

Section 14.14 Indenture Controls. If and to the extent that any provision of the Notes limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of this Indenture, such provision of this Indenture shall control.

Section 14.15 Severability. In case any provision in this Indenture 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 and such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability.

Section 14.16 Intercreditor Agreements. The terms of this Indenture are subject to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement entered into as permitted under this Indenture.

Section 14.17 Acts of Holders. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section 14.17. The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to such officer the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than such signer’s individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of such signer’s authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

The ownership of the Notes shall be proved by the register of the Notes kept by the Registrar.

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

136

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

Section 14.18 Security Advice Waiver. The parties hereto acknowledge that to the extent regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or other applicable regulatory entity grant them the right to receive brokerage confirmations for certain security transactions as they occur, they each specifically waive receipt of such confirmations to the extent permitted by law.

Section 14.19 USA PATRIOT Act. In order to comply with the laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including, without limitation, those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering, including Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act of the United States (“Applicable AML Law”), the Trustee is required to obtain, verify, record and update certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the Trustee. Accordingly, each of the parties agree to provide to the Trustee, upon its request from time to time such identifying information and documentation as may be available for such party in order to enable the Trustee to comply with Applicable AML Law.

Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from the date of issuance, until the principal hereof is due.

Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

Payments in respect of the Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company or any successor depositary. The Company shall make all payments in respect of a certificated Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) at the office of the Paying Agent, except that, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by mailing a check to the registered address of each holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on the Notes may also be made, in the case of a holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

In connection with any tender offer or other offer to purchase for all of the Notes, if holders of not less than 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes validly tender and do not validly withdraw such Notes in such tender offer and the Company, or any third party making such tender offer in lieu of the Company, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by such holders, the Company or such third party will have the right upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice following such purchase date, to redeem all Notes, that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price equal to the price paid to each other holder in such tender offer, plus, to the extent not included in the tender offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to, but excluding, the date of such redemption.

In addition, the Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

6. Mandatory Redemption.

Except as set forth in the Indenture, the Company will not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

7. Mandatory Disposition Pursuant to Gaming Laws.

If a person required to apply or become licensed or qualified or be found suitable fails to do so (a “Disqualified Holder”), the Company shall have the right, at its election, (1) to require such person to dispose of its Notes or beneficial interest therein within 30 days of receipt of notice of such election or such earlier date as may be required by such Gaming Authority or (2) to redeem such Notes at a

A-8

redemption price that, unless otherwise directed by such Gaming Authority, shall be at a redemption price that is equal to the lesser of: (a) such person’s cost, or (b) 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the earlier of (i) the redemption date or (ii) the date such person became a Disqualified Holder.

The Company shall notify the Trustee and applicable Gaming Authority in writing of any such redemption as soon as practicable. The Company shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses any such holder may Incur in connection with its application for a license, qualification or finding of suitability.

If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with a Paying Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the redemption date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date, interest ceases to accrue on such Notes (or such portions thereof) called for redemption.

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 Company to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, 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), as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.

In accordance with Section 4.06 of the Indenture, the Company will be required to offer to purchase Notes upon the occurrence of certain events.

A-9

2025 Secured Notes, to the extent of the value of the assets securing the Notes, and will be structurally subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future Indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of the Company’s Subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors, including, without limitation, Indebtedness under the CRC Credit Agreement and the CRC Secured Notes, as applicable.

14. Discharge and Defeasance.

If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holders. Under certain circumstances, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences.

A-11

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders unless such holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity and security against any loss, liability or expense and certain other conditions are complied with.

Subject to certain restrictions, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal or financial liability and security. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

17. Trustee Dealings with the Company.

The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

18. No Recourse Against Others.

No director, officer, employee, incorporator or holder of any equity interests in the Company or of any Subsidiary Guarantor or any direct or indirect parent corporation, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Notes, the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or its creation.

2.1 Subordination of Liens. Notwithstanding (i) the date, time, method, manner or order of filing or recordation of any document or instrument or grant, attachment or perfection (including any defect or deficiency or alleged defect or deficiency in any of the foregoing) of any Liens granted to any Second Priority Agent or Second Priority Secured Parties on the Common Collateral or of any Liens granted to any First Lien Agent or Senior Creditors on the Common Collateral, (ii) any provision of the UCC, any Bankruptcy Law, or any applicable law or the Second

Priority Documents or the Senior Creditor Documents, (iii) whether any First Lien Agent, either directly or through agents, holds possession of, or has control over, all or any part of the Common Collateral, (iv) the fact that any such Liens may be subordinated, voided, avoided, invalidated or lapsed or (v) any other circumstance of any kind or nature whatsoever, each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, hereby agrees that: (a) any Lien on the Common Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Senior Creditor Claims now or hereafter held by or on behalf of any First Lien Agent or any Senior Creditors or any agent or trustee therefor regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall have priority over and be senior in all respects and prior to any Lien on the Common Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Second Priority Claims and (b) any Lien on the Common Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Second Priority Claims now or hereafter held by or on behalf of any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Parties or any agent or trustee therefor regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the Common Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Senior Creditor Claims. All Liens on the Common Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Senior Creditor Claims shall be and remain senior in all respects and prior to all Liens on the Common Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Second Priority Claims for all purposes, whether or not such Liens securing or purporting to secure any Senior Creditor Claims are adequately perfected or are subordinated to any Lien securing or purporting to secure any other obligation of the Borrower, any other Grantor or any other Person.

2.2 Prohibition on Contesting Liens. Each Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, and each First Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Senior Creditor in respect of which it serves as First Lien Agent, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) take any action to challenge, contest or support any other Person in contesting or challenging, directly or indirectly, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the validity, perfection, priority, allowability, or enforceability of (a) a Lien securing any Senior Creditor Claims held (or purported to be held) by or on behalf of any First Lien Agent or any of the Senior Creditors or any agent or trustee therefor in any Senior Creditor Collateral or (b) a Lien securing any Second Priority Claims held (or purported to be held) by or on behalf of any Second Priority Secured Party in the Common Collateral, as the case may be; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any First Lien Agent or any Senior Creditor to enforce this Agreement (including the priority of the Liens securing the Senior Creditor Claims as provided in Section 2.1) or any of the Senior Creditor Documents.

2.3 No New Liens. So long as the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims has not occurred and subject to Section 6, each Second Priority Agent agrees, for itself and on behalf of each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Grantor, that it shall not acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of the Borrower or any other Grantor securing any Second Priority Claims that are not also subject to the first-priority Lien in respect of the Senior Creditor Claims under the Senior Creditor Documents; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any Regulation S-X Excluded Collateral (as defined in the Senior Collateral Agreement as in effect on the date hereof) to the extent any Series of Senior Creditor Claims is not given a Lien thereon pursuant to the applicable Senior Creditor Documents. If any Second Priority Agent or any Second

Priority Secured Party shall (nonetheless and in breach hereof) acquire or hold any Lien on any collateral (other than any Regulation S-X Excluded Collateral) that is not also subject to the first-priority Lien in respect of the Senior Creditor Claims under the Senior Creditor Documents, then such Second Priority Agent shall, without the need for any further consent of any party and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other document, be deemed to also hold and have held such lien for the benefit of the First Lien Agents as security for the Senior Creditor Claims (subject to the lien priority and other terms hereof) and shall promptly notify each First Lien Agent in writing of the existence of such Xxxx and in any event take such actions as may be requested by any First Lien Agent to assign such Liens to the First Lien Agents (and/or their designees) as security for the applicable Senior Creditor Claims or release such Liens. To the extent that the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other right or remedy available to any First Lien Agent or any other Senior Creditor, each Second Priority Agent agrees, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties, that any amounts received by or distributed to any Second Priority Secured Party pursuant to or as a result of any Lien granted in contravention of this Section 2.3 shall be subject to Section 4.1 and Section 4.2. This Section 2.3 shall not be violated with respect to any Senior Creditor Claims if the applicable First Lien Agent is given a reasonable opportunity to accept a Lien on any asset or property and either a Grantor or the applicable First Lien Agent states in writing that the applicable Senior Creditor Documents prohibit such First Lien Agent from accepting a Lien on such asset or property, or such First Lien Agent otherwise expressly declines to accept a Lien on such asset or property.

2.4 Perfection of Liens. Neither the First Lien Agents nor the Senior Creditors shall be responsible for perfecting and maintaining the perfection of Liens with respect to the Common Collateral for the benefit of the Second Priority Agents and the Second Priority Secured Parties. The provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as between the Senior Creditors and the Second Priority Secured Parties and shall not impose on the First Lien Agents, the Second Priority Agents, the Second Priority Secured Parties or the Senior Creditors or any agent or trustee therefor any obligations in respect of the disposition of proceeds of any Common Collateral which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other Person or any order or decree of any court or governmental authority or any applicable law.

2.5 Waiver of Marshalling. Until the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims, each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees not to assert and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available under applicable law with respect to the Common Collateral or any other similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law.

2.6 Nature Of Senior Creditor Claims. Each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, acknowledges that (a) a portion of the Senior Creditor Claims is revolving in nature and that the amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, (b) the terms of the Senior Creditor Documents and the Senior Creditor Claims may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, and the Senior Creditor

Claims, or a portion thereof, may be Refinanced from time to time and (c) the aggregate amount of the Senior Creditor Claims may be increased, in each case, without notice to or consent by the Second Priority Agents or the Second Priority Secured Parties and without affecting the provisions hereof, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. The Lien priorities provided for in Section 2.1 shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, supplement or other modification, or any Refinancing, of either the Senior Creditor Claims or the Second Priority Claims, or any portion thereof. As between the Borrower and the other Grantors and the Second Priority Secured Parties, the foregoing provisions will not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower and the other Grantors contained in any Second Priority Document with respect to the incurrence of additional Senior Creditor Claims.

2.7 Certain Cash Collateral. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Senior Creditor Documents or Second Priority Documents to the contrary, collateral consisting of cash and deposit account balances pledged to secure Senior Creditor Claims consisting of reimbursement obligations in respect of letters of credit or otherwise held by any First Lien Agent pursuant to Sections 2.05, 2.11 or 2.22 of the Credit Agreement (or the Equivalent Provision thereof) shall be applied as specified in the Credit Agreement and will not constitute Common Collateral.

Section 3. Enforcement.

3.1 Exercise of Remedies.

(a) So long as the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Grantor, (i) no Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party will (x) exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including setoff or recoupment) with respect to any Common Collateral in respect of any applicable Second Priority Claims, or exercise any right under any lockbox agreement, control agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement, or institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure) with respect to any Common Collateral, (y) contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought with respect to the Common Collateral by any First Lien Agent or any Senior Creditor in respect of the Senior Creditor Claims, the exercise of any right by any First Lien Agent or any Senior Creditor (or any agent or sub-agent on their behalf) in respect of the Senior Creditor Claims under any lockbox agreement, control agreement, management agreement, lease, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party either is a party or may have rights as a third party beneficiary, or any other exercise by any such party, of any rights and remedies relating to the Common Collateral under the Senior Creditor Documents or otherwise in respect of Senior Creditor Claims or (z) object to the forbearance by the Senior Creditors from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Common Collateral in respect of Senior Creditor Claims and (ii) except as otherwise provided herein, each First Lien Agent and the Senior Creditors shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including setoff, recoupment, and the right to credit bid their debt) and make determinations regarding the release, disposition or restrictions with respect to the Common Collateral and to direct the time, method, and place for exercising such right or remedy or conducting any proceeding with respect

thereto, without any consultation with or the consent of any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party; provided, however, that (A) any Second Priority Agent and the Second Priority Secured Parties represented by it may exercise any or all such rights after the passage of a period of 180 days from the occurrence of both (i) an Event of Default (under and as defined in the applicable Second Priority Documents) (or the Equivalent Provision thereof) and (ii) the date of delivery of a notice in writing to each First Lien Agent of such Second Priority Agent’s or Second Priority Secured Party’s intention to exercise its right to take such actions which notice shall specify that an “Event of Default” as defined in the applicable Second Priority Documents (or the Equivalent Provision thereof) has occurred and as a result of such “Event of Default” (or the Equivalent Provision thereof), the principal and interest under such Second Priority Documents have become due and payable (whether as a result of acceleration thereof or otherwise) (the “Second Priority Standstill Period”) unless (i) a First Lien Agent has commenced and is diligently pursuing remedies with respect to any material portion of the Common Collateral (or such attempt is stayed by an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), (ii) the Grantor that has granted a security interest in such Common Collateral is then a debtor under or with respect to (or otherwise subject to) any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or (iii) the acceleration of the applicable Second Priority Claims is rescinded in accordance with the terms of the applicable Second Priority Documents and (B) (1) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Grantor, each Second Priority Agent may file a proof of claim or statement of interest with respect to the applicable Second Priority Claims, (2) each Second Priority Agent may take any action (not adverse to the Liens on the Common Collateral securing the Senior Creditor Claims, or the rights of either First Lien Agent or the Senior Creditors to exercise remedies in respect thereof) as necessary in order to create, prove, perfect, preserve or protect (but not enforce) its rights in, and perfection and priority of its Lien on, the Common Collateral, (3) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Grantor, each Second Priority Agent may file any necessary or responsive pleadings in opposition to any motion, adversary proceeding or other pleading filed by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking disallowance of the claim or Lien of such Second Priority Agent or Second Priority Secured Party, (4) each Second Priority Agent may file any pleadings, objections, motions, or agreements which assert rights available to unsecured creditors of the Borrower or any other Grantor arising under any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law and (5) each Second Priority Agent and each Second Priority Secured Party may vote on any plan of reorganization in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of the Borrower or any other Grantor, in each case (B)(1) through (5) above to the extent such action is not inconsistent with, or could not result in a resolution inconsistent with or otherwise in contravention of, the terms of this Agreement. In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Senior Creditor Collateral, each First Lien Agent and the Senior Creditors may enforce the provisions of the Senior Creditor Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of Common Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the uniform commercial code of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

(b) So long as the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims has not occurred, each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, agrees that, except as expressly provided in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 3.1(a), it will not take or receive any Common Collateral or any proceeds of Common Collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including setoff or recoupment) with respect to any Common Collateral in respect of the applicable Second Priority Claims. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims has occurred, except as expressly provided in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 3.1(a), the sole right of the Second Priority Agents and the Second Priority Secured Parties with respect to the Common Collateral is to hold a Lien on the Common Collateral in respect of the applicable Second Priority Claims pursuant to the Second Priority Documents, as applicable, for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims has occurred.

(c) Subject to the proviso in the first sentence of Section 3.1(a) above, (i) each Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, agrees that no Second Priority Agent or other Second Priority Secured Party will take any action that would hinder any exercise of remedies undertaken by any First Lien Agent or Senior Creditors with respect to the Common Collateral under the Senior Creditor Documents, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Common Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, (ii) each Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, hereby waives any and all rights it or any Second Priority Secured Party may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which any First Lien Agent or Senior Creditors seek to enforce or collect the Senior Creditor Claims or the Liens granted in any of the Senior Creditor Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of any First Lien Agent or Senior Creditors is adverse to the interests of the Second Priority Secured Parties, and (iii) each Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, hereby acknowledges that any Senior Creditor may direct the First Priority Designated Agent or the First Priority Collateral Agent (or direct the First Priority Designated Agent to direct the First Priority Collateral Agent) to take actions to enforce rights or exercise remedies (v) in any manner in its sole discretion in compliance with applicable law, (w) without consultation with or the consent of any Second Priority Secured Parties, (x) regardless of whether or not an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has commenced, (y) regardless of any provision of any Second Priority Documents (other than this Agreement) and (z) regardless of whether or not such exercise is adverse to the interest of any Second Priority Secured Parties.

(d) Each Second Priority Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any applicable Second Priority Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of any First Lien Agent or Senior Creditors with respect to the Senior Creditor Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Senior Creditor Documents.

3.2 Cooperation. Subject to the proviso in the first sentence of Section 3.1(a), each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, agrees that, unless and until the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims has occurred, it will not commence, or join with any Person (other than the Senior Creditors and any First Lien Agent upon the request thereof) in commencing, any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action or proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it in the Common Collateral under any of the applicable Second Priority Documents or otherwise in respect of the applicable Second Priority Claims relating to the Common Collateral.

3.3 Actions Upon Breach. If any Second Priority Secured Party, in contravention of the terms of this Agreement, in any way takes, attempts to or threatens to take any action with respect to the Common Collateral (including, without limitation, any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement), this Agreement shall create an irrebuttable presumption and admission by such Second Priority Secured Party that relief against such Second Priority Secured Party by injunction, specific performance and/or other appropriate equitable relief is necessary to prevent irreparable harm to the Senior Creditors and the Grantors, it being understood and agreed by each Second Priority Agent on behalf of each applicable Second Priority Secured Party that (i) the Senior Creditors’ and the Grantors’ damages from its actions may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and (ii) each Second Priority Secured Party irrevocably waives any defense that the Grantors and/or the Senior Creditors cannot demonstrate damage and/or can be made whole by the awarding of damages, any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law, and any other defense that might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any action that may be brought by any First Lien Agent, any other Senior Creditor or any Grantor.

Section 4. Payments.

4.1 Application of Proceeds. So long as the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims has not occurred and regardless of whether an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced, (x) the Common Collateral or proceeds thereof received in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collection on, such Common Collateral upon the exercise of remedies as a secured party (including setoff or recoupment) and (y) any recoveries or distributions received on account of any Common Collateral after the commencement of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, shall be applied by the First Lien Agents to the Senior Creditor Claims in such order as specified in the relevant Senior Creditor Documents until the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims has occurred. Upon the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims, subject to Section 5.7 hereof, each of the First Lien Agents shall deliver promptly to the Second Priority Designated Agent any Common Collateral or proceeds thereof held by it in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct to be applied by the Second Priority Designated Agent to the Second Priority Claims in such order as specified in the Second Priority Documents.

4.2 Payments Over. So long as the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims has not occurred and regardless of whether an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced, (x) any Common Collateral or proceeds thereof received by any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collection on, such Common Collateral upon the exercise of remedies as a secured party (including setoff or recoupment) and (y) any recoveries or distributions received on account of any Common Collateral after the commencement of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, shall be segregated and held for the benefit of and forthwith paid over to the First Priority Collateral Agent (and/or its designees) for the benefit of the Senior Creditors in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The First Lien Agents are each hereby individually authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for any Second Priority Agent or any such Second Priority Secured Party. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

Section 5. Other Agreements.

5.1 Releases.

(a) Subject to Section 5.7, if, at any time any Grantor or the holder of any Senior Creditor Claim delivers notice to each Second Priority Agent that any specified Common Collateral (including any of the equity interests of a Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries) (including for such purpose, in the case of the sale of equity interests in any Subsidiary, any Common Collateral held by such Subsidiary or any direct or indirect Subsidiary thereof) is:

(A) sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of:

(i) by the owner of such Common Collateral in a transaction not prohibited under the Credit Agreement, the Other First Priority Lien Obligations Documents, the Initial Second Priority Agreement, the Other Second Priority Lien Obligations Documents and each other Senior Creditor Document and Second Priority Document (if any); or

(ii) prior to the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims, to the extent that any of the First Lien Agents has consented to such sale, transfer or disposition or such sale, transfer, or disposition occurs in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Common Collateral by any First Lien Agent; or

(B) otherwise released as permitted by the Credit Agreement and the Other First Priority Lien Obligations Documents (other than in connection with a Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims),

then (whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is pending at the time) the Liens in favor of the Second Priority Secured Parties upon such Common Collateral will automatically be released and discharged as and when, but only to the extent, such Liens on such Common Collateral securing Senior Creditor Claims are released and discharged. Upon delivery to each Second Priority Agent of a notice from any First Lien Agent or the Borrower stating that any release of Liens securing or supporting the Senior Creditor Claims has become effective (or shall become effective upon each Second Priority Agent’s release) (whether in connection with a sale of such assets by the relevant Grantor pursuant to the preceding sentence or otherwise), each Second Priority Agent will promptly execute and deliver such instruments, releases, termination statements or other documents confirming such release on customary terms. In the case of the sale of any of the equity interests of a Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries, the guarantee in favor of the Second Priority Secured Parties, if any, made by such Grantor or Subsidiary will automatically be released and discharged as and when, but only to the extent, the guarantee by such Grantor or Subsidiary of Senior Creditor Claims is released and discharged.

(b) Each Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints each First Lien Agent and any officer or agent of such First Lien Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of each Second Priority Agent or such holder or in such First Lien Agent’s own name, from time to time in such First Lien Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 5.1, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 5.1, including any termination statements, endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.

(c) Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims has occurred, each Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, hereby consents to the application, whether prior to or after a default, of proceeds of Common Collateral to the repayment of Senior Creditor Claims pursuant to the Senior Creditor Documents; provided that nothing in this Section 5.1(c) shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Second Priority Agents or the Second Priority Secured Parties to receive proceeds in connection with the Second Priority Claims not otherwise in contravention of this Agreement.

5.2 Insurance. Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims has occurred, each First Lien Agent and the Senior Creditors shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Senior Creditor Documents, to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Common Collateral in respect of the Second Priority Claims in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Common Collateral. Subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Senior Creditor Documents and the Second Priority Documents, unless and until the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims has occurred, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award if in respect of the Common Collateral shall be paid (a) first, prior to the occurrence of the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims, to the First Lien Agents for the benefit of Senior Creditors pursuant to the terms of the Senior Creditor Documents, (b) second, after the occurrence of the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims, to the Second Priority Agents for the benefit of the Second Priority Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the applicable Second Priority Documents and (c) third, if no Second Priority Claims are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property, such other person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. If any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award in contravention of this Agreement, it shall pay such proceeds over to any First Lien Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2.

5.3 Amendments to Second Priority Collateral Documents and Senior Collateral Documents.

(a) So long as the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims has not occurred, without the prior written consent of the First Lien Agents, no Second Priority Collateral Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Second Priority Collateral Document, would be prohibited by or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement. So long as any Second Priority Claims remain outstanding, without the prior written consent of the Second Priority Agents, no Senior Collateral Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Senior Collateral Document, would be prohibited by or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement. Each Second Priority Agent agrees that each applicable Second Priority Collateral Document executed as of the date hereof shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved by the First Priority Designated Agent):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the liens and security interests granted to the [insert the relevant Second Priority Agent] for the benefit of the [Secured Parties] pursuant to this agreement are expressly subject and subordinate to the liens and security interests granted to [U.S. Bank National Association], as collateral agent (and its successors and permitted assigns), for the benefit of the secured parties referred to below, pursuant to the Collateral Agreement dated as of July 20, 2020 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, refinanced or replaced from time to time), among the [Borrower], the other “Pledgors” referred to therein and [U.S. Bank National Association], as collateral agent for the benefit of the secured parties referred to therein and any other Senior Collateral Documents (as defined in the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement (defined below)) and to the liens and security interests granted to any Other First Priority Lien Obligations Agent pursuant to any Other First Priority Lien Obligations Security Document (each as defined in the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement) (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, refinanced or replaced from time to time), and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the [insert the relevant Second Priority Agent] hereunder is subject to the limitations and provisions of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement dated as of [ ] (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement”), by and among [JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.] in its capacity as Credit Agreement Agent, [U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association] in its capacity as [2020 Initial Other First Priority Agent], [U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association] in its capacity as [2023 Initial Other First Priority Agent], [ ] in its capacity as Initial Second Priority Agent and each other party thereto from time to time. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this agreement, the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.”

(b) In the event that the First Lien Agents or the Senior Creditors enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of or replace any Senior Collateral Document for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Senior Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of the First Lien Agents, the Senior Creditors, the Borrower or any other Grantor thereunder (including the release of any Liens in Senior Creditor Collateral), then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each Comparable Second Priority Collateral Document without the consent of any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party and without any action by any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party; provided, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of (i) removing assets subject to the Lien of the Second Priority Collateral Documents, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted by Section 5.1 and provided that there is a corresponding release of the Liens securing the Senior Creditor Claims on such removed assets, (ii) imposing duties on any Second Priority Agent without its consent, (iii) permitting other Liens on the Common Collateral not permitted under the terms of the Second Priority Documents or Section 6 or (iv) materially adversely affecting the rights of the Second Priority Secured Parties or the interests of the Second Priority Secured Parties in the Second Priority Collateral and not the other creditors of the Borrower or the other applicable Grantor, as the case may be, that have a security interest in the affected collateral in a like or similar manner (without regard to the fact that the Lien of such Senior Collateral Document is senior to the Lien of the Comparable Second Priority Collateral Document). The relevant First Lien Agent shall give written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent to each Second Priority Agent within ten (10) days after the effective date of such amendment, waiver or consent; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or consent with respect to the provisions of any Second Priority Collateral Document as set forth in this Section 5.3(b).

5.4 Rights As Unsecured Creditors. The Second Priority Agents and the Second Priority Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as an unsecured creditor against the Borrower or any other Grantor in accordance with the terms of the applicable Second Priority Documents and applicable law, in each case to the extent not inconsistent with or otherwise in contravention of the provisions of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party of the required payments of interest and principal so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of (a) the exercise by any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor in respect of Common Collateral or (b) enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien on Common Collateral in respect of Second Priority Claims held by any of them. In the event any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor or other secured creditor in respect of Common Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of Second Priority Claims or otherwise, such judgment or other lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Creditor Claims on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Claims are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Creditor Claims under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the First Lien Agents or the Senior Creditors may have with respect to the Senior Creditor Collateral.

(a) Each First Lien Agent agrees to hold the Pledged Collateral that is part of the Common Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent for each Second Priority Agent and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Pledged Collateral pursuant to the Second Priority Collateral Agreements, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5 (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-106(d)(3), 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC).

(b) In the event that any First Lien Agent (or its agent or bailees) has Lien filings against Intellectual Property (as defined in the Senior Collateral Agreement) (or the Equivalent Provision thereof) that is part of the Common Collateral that are necessary for the perfection of Liens in such Common Collateral, such First Lien Agent agrees to hold such Liens as gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent for each Second Priority Agent and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Liens pursuant to the Second Priority Collateral Agreements, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5.

(c) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein (including Sections 3.1 and 4.1), until the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims has occurred, any First Lien Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Senior Creditor Documents as if the Liens under the Second Priority Collateral Documents did not exist. The rights of the Second Priority Agents and the Second Priority Secured Parties with respect to such Pledged Collateral shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

(d) The First Lien Agents shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party to assure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by the Grantors or to protect or preserve rights or benefits of any Person or any rights pertaining to the Common Collateral except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.5. The duties or responsibilities of the First Lien Agents under this Section 5.5 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent for each Second Priority Agent for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by the Second Priority Secured Parties.

(e) The First Lien Agents shall not have by reason of the Second Priority Collateral Documents or this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party and the Second Priority Agents and the Second Priority Secured Parties hereby waive and release the First Lien Agents from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the First Lien Agents’ role under this Section 5.5, as agent and gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent with respect to the Common Collateral.

(f) Upon the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims, the relevant First Lien Agent shall deliver to the Second Priority Designated Agent, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) and to the extent such Pledged Collateral is in the possession or control of such First Lien Agent (or its agents or bailees) together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the Second Priority Designated Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(g) The Borrower shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify the First Priority Designated Agent and the First Priority Collateral Agent for any loss or damage suffered by the First Priority Designated Agent or the First Priority Collateral Agent as a result of such transfer except for any loss or damage suffered by the First Priority Designated Agent or the First Priority Collateral Agent as a result of its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The First Priority Designated Agent and the First Priority Collateral Agent have no obligation to follow instructions from any Second Priority Agent in contravention of this Agreement.

(h) Neither the First Lien Agents nor the Senior Creditors shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral security for the Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ obligations to the First Lien Agents or the Senior Creditors under the Credit Agreement or the Senior Collateral Documents or any assurance of payment in respect thereof or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of their rights in respect of such collateral security or any assurance of payment in respect thereof shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising.

5.6 Second Priority Designated Agent as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection.

(a) Upon the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims, the Second Priority Designated Agent agrees to hold the Pledged Collateral that is part of the Common Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent for the other Second Priority Agents and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Pledged Collateral pursuant to the applicable Second Priority Collateral Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.6.

(b) In the event that the Second Priority Designated Agent (or its agent or bailees) has Lien filings against Intellectual Property (as defined in the Senior Collateral Agreement) (or the Equivalent Provision thereof) that is part of the Common Collateral that are necessary for the perfection of Liens in such Common Collateral, upon the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims, the Second Priority Designated Agent agrees to hold such Liens as gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent for the other Second Priority Agents and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Liens pursuant to the applicable Second Priority Collateral Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.6.

(c) The Second Priority Designated Agent, in its capacity as gratuitous bailee, shall have no obligation whatsoever to the other Second Priority Agents or the First Lien Agent to assure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by the Grantors or to protect or preserve rights or benefits of any Person or any rights pertaining to the Common Collateral except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.6. The duties or responsibilities of the Second Priority Designated Agent under this Section 5.6 upon the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent for the other Second Priority Agents for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by the applicable Second Priority Secured Parties.

(d) The Second Priority Designated Agent shall not have by reason of the Second Priority Collateral Documents or this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the other Second Priority Agents (or the Second Priority Secured Parties for which such other Second Priority Agents are agents) and the other Second Priority Agents hereby waive and release the Second Priority Designated Agent from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the Second Priority Designated Agent’s role under this Section 5.6, as agent and gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent with respect to the Common Collateral.

(e) In the event that the Second Priority Designated Agent shall cease to be so designated the Second Priority Designated Agent pursuant to the definition of such term, the then Second Priority Designated Agent shall deliver to the successor Second Priority Designated Agent, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any), together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the successor Second Priority Designated Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, and such successor Second Priority Designated Agent shall perform all duties of the Second Priority Designated Agent as set forth herein.

5.7 No Release If Event of Default; Reinstatement; When Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If, at any time substantially concurrently with or after the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims has occurred, the Borrower incurs and designates any Other First Priority Lien Obligations or Refinances any Senior Creditor Claims, then such Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken prior to the date of such designation as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims), and the applicable agreement governing such Senior Creditor Claims shall automatically be treated as

a Senior Creditor Document (and, upon designation by the Borrower thereof, the “Credit Agreement” hereunder) for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Common Collateral set forth herein and the granting by the First Lien Agents of amendments, waivers and consents hereunder. Upon receipt of notice of such designation (including the identity of any new First Lien Agent), each Second Priority Agent shall promptly (i) enter into such documents and agreements, including amendments or supplements to this Agreement, as such new First Lien Agent or the Borrower shall reasonably request in writing in order to provide the new First Lien Agent the rights of the First Lien Agents contemplated hereby and (ii) to the extent then held by any Second Priority Agent, deliver to such First Lien Agent the Pledged Collateral that is Common Collateral together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow such First Lien Agent to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral).

5.8 Purchase Right.

(a) Without prejudice to the enforcement of any of the Senior Creditors’ remedies under the Senior Creditor Documents, this Agreement, at law or in equity or otherwise, the Senior Creditors agree at any time following the earliest to occur of (i) an acceleration of any of the Senior Creditor Claims in accordance with the terms of the applicable Senior Creditor Documents, (ii) a payment default under any Senior Creditor Document that has not been cured or waived by the applicable Senior Creditors within 90 days of the occurrence thereof or (iii) the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to any Grantor, the Senior Creditors will offer the Second Priority Secured Parties the option to purchase the entire aggregate amount (but not less than the entirety) of outstanding Senior Creditor Claims (including unfunded commitments under any Senior Creditor Document that have not been terminated at such time) at the Purchase Price without warranty or representation or recourse except as provided in Section 5.8(d), on a pro rata basis among the Senior Creditors, which offer may be accepted by less than all of the Second Priority Secured Parties so long as all the accepting Second Priority Secured Parties shall when taken together purchase such entire aggregate amount as set forth above.

(b) The “Purchase Price” will equal the sum of (1) the full amount of all Senior Creditor Claims then-outstanding and unpaid at par (including principal, accrued but unpaid interest, fees, expenses, and any other unpaid amounts, including breakage costs and, in the case of any secured hedging obligations, the amount that would be payable by the relevant Grantor thereunder if such Grantor were to terminate the hedge agreement in respect thereof on the date of the purchase or, if not terminated, an amount determined by the relevant Senior Creditor to be necessary to collateralize its credit risk arising out of such agreement, but excluding any prepayment penalties or premiums), (2) the cash collateral to be furnished to the Senior Creditors providing letters of credit under the Senior Creditor Documents in such amount (not to exceed 103% thereof) as such Senior Creditors determine is reasonably necessary to secure such Senior Creditors in connection with any such outstanding and undrawn letters of credit and (3) all accrued and unpaid fees, expenses and other amounts (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) owed to the Senior Creditors under or pursuant to the Senior Creditor Documents on the date of purchase.

(c) The Second Priority Secured Parties shall irrevocably accept or reject such offer within ten (10) days of the receipt thereof by the Second Priority Agents and the parties shall endeavor to close promptly thereafter. If the Second Priority Secured Parties (or any subset of them) accept such offer, it shall be exercised pursuant to documentation mutually acceptable to each of the First Lien Agents and the Second Priority Agents. If the Second Priority Secured Parties reject such offer (or do not so irrevocably accept such offer within the required timeframe), the Senior Creditors shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section 5.8 and may take any further actions in their sole discretion in accordance with the Senior Creditor Documents and this Agreement. Each Senior Creditor will retain all rights to indemnification provided in the relevant Senior Creditor Documents for all claims and other amounts relating to periods prior to the purchase of the Senior Creditor Claims pursuant to this Section 5.8.

(d) The purchase and sale of the Senior Creditor Claims under this Section 5.8 will be without recourse and without representation or warranty of any kind by the Senior Creditors, except that the Senior Creditors shall severally and not jointly represent and warrant to the Second Priority Secured Parties that on the date of such purchase, immediately before giving effect to the purchase:

(A) the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Creditor Claims, and the fees and expenses thereof owed to the respective Senior Creditors, are as stated in any assignment agreement prepared in connection with the purchase and sale of the Senior Creditor Claims; and

(B) each Senior Creditor owns the Senior Creditor Claims purported to be owned by it free and clear of any Liens (other than participation interests not prohibited by the Senior Creditor Documents, in which case the Purchase Price will be appropriately adjusted so that the Second Priority Secured Parties do not pay amounts represented by participation interests to the extent that the Second Priority Secured Parties expressly assume the obligations under such participation interests).

Section 6. Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

6.1 Financing Issues. If the Borrower or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and any First Lien Agent or any Senior Creditor shall desire to permit the sale, use or lease of cash or other collateral or to provide to the Borrower or any other Grantor, or permit the Borrower or any other Grantor to obtain, financing under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision in any Bankruptcy Law (such financing, whether or not provided by any First Lien Agent or Senior Creditor, a “DIP Financing”), then each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, agrees that it will be deemed to have consented to, will raise no objection to, and will not otherwise contest or oppose (or join or support any objection to, contest of or opposition to) (i) such sale, use or lease of cash or other collateral or DIP Financing and will not request or accept adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except to the extent permitted by Section 6.3) and, to the extent the Liens securing the Senior Creditor Claims under the Senior Creditor Documents are subordinated or pari passu with the Liens securing such DIP Financing, will subordinate (or be deemed to have subordinated) its Liens in the Common Collateral (and such subordination will not alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement) to (A) the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Claims are so subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Creditor Claims under this Agreement, (B) any “carve-out” for professional and United

States Trustee fees agreed to by the First Priority Designated Agent or the First Priority Collateral Agent (or the First Priority Collateral Agent at the direction of the First Priority Designated Agent) or any of the Senior Creditors and (C) any adequate protection provided to any of the First Lien Agents or any of the Senior Creditors in connection therewith; provided, that, in the case of any such DIP Financing, the aggregate principal amount of the DIP Financing plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Senior Creditor Claims plus the aggregate face amount of any letters of credit issued and outstanding under the Senior Creditor Documents does not exceed the DIP Cap Amount; provided that the Second Priority Agents and the other Second Priority Secured Parties retain the right to object to any provision in any proposed DIP Financing that (i) requires the sale, liquidation or other disposition of material assets that do not constitute Common Collateral or (ii) requires specific and material terms of a plan of reorganization other than terms for a sale, liquidation or other disposition of Common Collateral and payment in full in cash of such DIP Financing, provided, further, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, plan terms regarding the sale, liquidation or other disposition of non-material assets are not material terms. Each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, further agrees that it will be deemed to have consented to, will raise no objection to, and will not otherwise contest or oppose (or join or support any objection to, contest of or opposition to) (i) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of Senior Creditor Claims made by any First Lien Agent or Senior Creditor, (ii) any assertion by any First Lien Agent or Senior Creditor of the right to credit bid any Senior Creditor Claims (including under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other applicable Bankruptcy Law), (iii) any other request for judicial relief made in any court by any holder of Senior Creditor Claims seeking to enforce any Lien or Senior Creditor Collateral or (iv) any motion or order relating to a sale of assets of any Grantor (including under Section 363 or Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other applicable Bankruptcy Law) for which any First Lien Agent has consented so long as such order provides, to the extent such sale is to be free and clear of Liens, that the Liens securing the Senior Creditor Claims and the Second Priority Claims will attach to the proceeds of the sale on the same basis of priority as the Liens securing the Senior Creditor Collateral do to the Liens securing the Second Priority Collateral in accordance with this Agreement.

6.2 Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims has occurred, each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, agrees that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or from any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or take any action in derogation thereof, in each case in respect of any Common Collateral, without the prior written consent of all First Lien Agents and the Required Lenders under the Senior Creditor Documents.

6.3 Adequate Protection. Each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, agrees that none of them shall object to, contest or oppose (or support any other Person objecting to, contesting or opposing) (a) any request by any First Lien Agent or any Senior Creditor for adequate protection, (b) any objection by any First Lien Agent or any Senior Creditor to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim of a lack of adequate protection, or (c) the allowance and/or payment of pre- or post-petition interest, fees, expenses or other amounts to any First Lien Agent or any Senior Creditor under section 506(b) or 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (as adequate protection or otherwise). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Insolvency or

Liquidation Proceeding, (i) if the Senior Creditors (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on additional collateral in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar law, then each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and any applicable Second Priority Secured Party, (A) may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien is subordinated to the Liens securing and providing adequate protection for the Senior Creditor Claims and such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Claims are so subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Creditor Claims under this Agreement and (B) agrees that it will not seek or request, and will not accept, adequate protection in any other form, and (ii) in the event any Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself or any applicable Second Priority Secured Party, seeks or requests adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the form of a Lien on additional collateral, then such Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself or each such Second Priority Secured Party, agrees that the First Lien Agent shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security and adequate protection for the applicable Senior Creditor Claims and any such DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing or providing adequate protection for the Second Priority Claims shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the Senior Creditor Claims and any such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens granted to the Senior Creditors as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Claims are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Creditor Claims under this Agreement.

6.4 Avoidance Issues. If any Senior Creditor is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Borrower or any other Grantor (or any trustee, receiver or similar person therefor) because such amount was avoided or ordered to be turned over, paid or disgorged for any reason, including, without limitation, because it was found to be a fraudulent or preferential transfer or for any other reason, any amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise, then the Senior Creditor Claims shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims shall be deemed not to have occurred. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto. Each of the Second Priority Secured Parties agrees that it shall not be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement.

6.5 Application. This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or any law in respect of the perfection of a security interest, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. All references herein to the Borrower or any other Grantor shall include the Borrower or any such Grantor as a debtor in possession and any receiver or trustee for such Person and such Person as debtor in possession. The relative rights as to the Common Collateral and proceeds thereof shall continue after the filing thereof on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition (including to the extent modified hereby), subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, any Grantor.

6.6 Waivers. Until the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims has occurred, each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, (a) will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law senior to or on a parity with the Liens on the Common Collateral securing the Senior Creditor Claims for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Common Collateral and (b) waives any claim it may now or hereafter have arising out of (i) any actions which the First Priority Designated Agent or the First Priority Collateral Agent (or the First Priority Collateral Agent at the direction of the First Priority Designated Agent) (or any of their respective representatives) takes or omits to take (including actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Common Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, disposition, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Common Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the Senior Creditor Claims from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with any relevant Senior Collateral Documents or any other agreement related thereto, or to the collection of the Senior Creditor Claims or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for the Senior Creditor Claims and (ii) the election by any Senior Creditor of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law.

6.7 Separate Grants Of Security And Separate Classifications. Each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Senior Collateral Documents and the Second Priority Collateral Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Common Collateral, the Second Priority Claims are fundamentally different from the Senior Creditor Claims and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan proposed, confirmed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties hereto as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the Senior Creditors and the Second Priority Secured Parties in respect of the Common Collateral constitute only a single class of claims (rather than separate classes of senior and junior claims), then each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Borrower and each other Grantor in respect of the Common Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Common Collateral is sufficient, for this purpose ignoring all claims held by each of the Second Priority Secured Parties), the Senior Creditors shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest, fees and expenses and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees and expenses (whether or not allowed or allowable under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise in such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) before any distribution is made in respect of the Second Priority Claims, with each Second Priority Secured Party hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the First Priority Collateral Agent amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Priority Secured Parties.

6.8 Reorganization Securities; Voting(a) . If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan proposed, confirmed, or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, on account of both the Senior Creditor Claims and the Second Priority Claims, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Senior Priority Claims and on account of the Second Priority Claims are secured by Liens upon the same assets or property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

Section 7. Reliance; Waivers; etc.

7.1 Reliance. The consent by the Senior Creditors to the execution and delivery of the Second Priority Documents to which the Senior Creditors have consented and all loans and other extensions of credit made or deemed made on and after Closing Date by the Senior Creditors to the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall be deemed to have been given and made in reliance upon this Agreement. Each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, acknowledges that it and the applicable Second Priority Secured Parties are not entitled to rely on any credit decision or other decisions made by any First Lien Agent or any Senior Creditor in taking or not taking any action under the applicable Second Priority Document or this Agreement.

7.2 No Warranties or Liability. Neither any First Lien Agent nor any Senior Creditor shall have been deemed to have made any express or implied representation or warranty upon which the Second Priority Agents or the Second Priority Secured Parties may rely, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectibility or enforceability of any of the Senior Creditor Documents, the ownership of any Common Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The Senior Creditors will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the Senior Creditor Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the Senior Creditors may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that any Second Priority Agent or any of the Second Priority Secured Parties have in the Common Collateral or otherwise, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Neither any First Lien Agent nor any Senior Creditor shall have any duty to any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party to act or refrain from acting in a manner that allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreements with the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (including the Second Priority Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof that they may have or be charged with. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the First Lien Agents, the Senior Creditors, the Second Priority Agents and the Second Priority Secured Parties have not otherwise made to each other, nor do they hereby make to each other, any warranties, express or implied, nor do they assume any liability to each other with respect to (a) the enforceability, validity, value or collectibility of any of the Second Priority Claims, the Senior Creditor Claims or any guarantee or security which may have been granted to any of them in connection therewith, (b) the Borrower’s title to or right to transfer any of the Common Collateral or (c) any other matter except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

7.3 Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the First Lien Agents and the Senior Creditors, and the Second Priority Agents and the Second Priority Secured Parties, respectively, hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Senior Creditor Documents or any Second Priority Documents;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the Senior Creditor Claims or Second Priority Claims, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Initial Other First Priority Agreements or any other Senior Creditor Document or of the terms of the Initial Second Priority Agreement or any other Second Priority Document;

(c) any exchange of any security interest in any Common Collateral or any other collateral, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the Senior Creditor Claims or Second Priority Claims or any guarantee thereof;

(d) the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Borrower or any other Grantor; or

(e) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any other Grantor in respect of the Senior Creditor Claims, or of any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party in respect of this Agreement.

Section 8. Miscellaneous.

8.1 Conflicts. Subject to Section 8.19, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any Senior Creditor Document or any Second Priority Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. Solely as among the Senior Creditors, in the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any other intercreditor agreement among First Lien Agents, such other intercreditor agreement shall govern and control. Solely as among the Second Priority Secured Parties, in the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any other intercreditor agreement among Second Priority Agents, such other intercreditor agreement shall govern and control.

8.2 Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability. Subject to Section 6.4 and Section 5.7, this Agreement shall continue to be effective until the Discharge of Senior Creditor Claims shall have occurred or such later time as all the Obligations in respect of the Second Priority Claims shall have been paid in full. This is a continuing agreement of lien subordination and the Senior Creditors may continue, at any time and without notice to any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Grantor constituting Senior Creditor Claims in reliance hereon. The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

8.3 Amendments; Waivers. No amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf of each Second Priority Agent (or its authorized agent), each First Lien Agent (or its authorized agent) and the Borrower and each waiver, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.3 to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended from time to time at the request of the Borrower, at the Borrower’s expense and without the consent of any First Lien Agent, any Second Priority Agent, any Senior Creditor or any Second Priority Secured Party to (i) add other parties holding Other First Priority Lien Obligations (or any agent or trustee therefor) and Other Second Priority Lien Obligations (or any agent or trustee therefor) in each case to the extent such Obligations are not prohibited by any Senior Creditor Document or any Second Priority Document then in effect, (ii) in the case of Other Second Priority Lien Obligations, (a) establish that the Lien on the Common Collateral securing such Other Second Priority Lien Obligations shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any Senior Creditor Claims and shall share in the benefits of the Common Collateral equally and ratably with all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any Second Priority Claims (subject to the terms of the Second Priority Documents), and (b) provide to the holders of such Other Second Priority Lien Obligations (or any agent or trustee thereof) the comparable rights and benefits (including any improved rights and benefits that have been consented to by the First Lien Agents) as are provided to the holders of Second Priority Claims under this Agreement (subject to the terms of the Second Priority Documents), and (iii) in the case of Other First Priority Lien Obligations, (a) establish that the Lien on the Common Collateral securing such Other First Priority Lien Obligations shall be superior in all respects to all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any Second Priority Claims and shall share in the benefits of the Common Collateral equally and ratably with all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any Senior Creditor Claims (subject to the terms of the Senior Creditor Documents), and (b) provide to the holders of such Other First Priority Lien Obligations (or any agent or trustee thereof) the comparable rights and benefits as are provided to the holders of Senior Creditor Claims under this Agreement (subject to the terms of the Senior Creditor Documents). Any such additional party, each First Lien Agent and each Second Priority Agent shall be entitled to rely on the determination of an officer of the Borrower that such modifications are not prohibited by any Senior Creditor Document or any Second Priority Document. At the request of the Borrower, without the consent of any Senior Creditor or Second Priority Secured Party, each First Lien Agent and Second Priority Agent shall execute and deliver an acknowledgment and confirmation of such permitted modifications and/or enter into an amendment, a restatement or a supplement of this Agreement to facilitate such permitted modifications (it being understood that such actions shall not be required for the effectiveness of any such modifications).

8.4 Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Neither any First Lien Agent nor any Senior Creditor shall have any obligation to any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party to keep any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party informed of, and the Second Priority Agents and the Second Priority Secured Parties shall not be entitled to rely on the First Lien Agents or the Senior Creditors
