ARTICLE II

The Notes

SECTION 2.1. Form and Dating.

(a) The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, the terms of which are incorporated in and made a part hereof. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements approved as to form by the Issuers, and required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Issuers are subject or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes will be issuable only in minimum denominations of $2,000.00 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof. On any Interest Payment Date on which the Issuers pay PIK Interest (a “PIK Payment”), with respect to a Global Note, the Trustee will increase the principal amount of such Global Note by an amount equal to the PIK Interest payable, rounded down to the nearest whole dollar, for the relevant interest period on the

principal amount of such Global Note, to the credit of the Holders on the relevant record date and an adjustment will be made on the register maintained by the Registrar with respect to such Global Note to reflect such increase. On any Interest Payment Date on which the Issuers makes a PIK Payment by issuing Definitive Notes (a “PIK Interest Note”) under this Indenture having the same terms as the Notes, the principal amount of any such PIK Interest Note issued to any Holder, for the relevant interest period as of the relevant record date for such Interest Payment Date, will be rounded down to the nearest whole dollar. In connection with any PIK Payment, the Issuers are entitled, without the consent of the Holders (and without regard to any restrictions or limitations set forth under Sections 3.3 and 3.5), to increase the outstanding principal amount of the Notes or to issue the PIK Interest Notes under this Indenture on the same terms and conditions as the Notes.

(b) Additional Notes may be issued only in compliance with this Indenture, including Sections 3.3 and 3.5 of this Indenture. The Issuers will have the right to designate the maturity date, interest rate and optional redemption provisions applicable to each series of Additional Notes, which may differ from the maturity date, interest rate and optional redemption provisions applicable to the Initial Notes. Additional Notes that differ with respect to maturity date, interest rate or optional redemption provisions from the Initial Notes will constitute a different series of Notes from the Initial Notes. Additional Notes that have the same maturity date, interest rate and optional redemption provisions as the Initial Notes will be treated as the same series as the Initial Notes and any PIK Interest Notes (including any increases in Global Notes reflecting a PIK Payment) unless otherwise designated by the Issuers. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.2(a), the Initial Notes, any PIK Interest Notes (including any increases in Global Notes reflecting a PIK Payment) and any Additional Notes issued under this Indenture will vote and consent together on all matters as one class and no series of Notes will have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter. The Issuers will also have, subject to the provisions of Section 9.2(a), the right to vary the application of the provisions of this Indenture to any series of Additional Notes. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “Notes” for all purposes of this Indenture include the PIK Interest Notes (or any increase in the principal amount of a Global Note) and any Additional Notes that are actually issued and any references to “principal amount” of the Notes include any increase in the principal amount of the outstanding Notes as a result of a PIK Payment.

(c) The Notes will initially be issued in the form of one or more Global Notes and The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), its nominees and their respective successors, will act as the Depositary with respect thereto. Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each will provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions and the payment of PIK Interest. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Notes Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by

the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.6 or by the Issuers in connection with a PIK Payment. Each Global Note (i) will be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Note or the nominee of such Depositary, (ii) will be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or held by the Notes Custodian for the Depositary pursuant to such Depositary’s instructions, (iii) will bear a Global Note Legend in substantially the following form:

(g) Members of, or Participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) will have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as Notes Custodian and the Depositary may be treated by the Issuers, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuers or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever, including but not limited

to notices and payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein will prevent the Issuers, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuers or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any notice to be delivered to DTC (including, but not limited to, a notice of redemption) may be delivered electronically by the Trustee or the Issuers in accordance with Applicable Procedures of DTC.

SECTION 2.2. Form of Execution and Authentication. An Officer will sign the Notes for each of the Issuers by manual or facsimile signature.

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

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

The Trustee will authenticate (a) Initial Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in an aggregate principal amount of $550,000,000 and (b) subject to compliance with Section 3.3, one or more series of Additional Notes for original issue after the Issue Date (such Notes to be substantially in the form of Exhibit A) in an unlimited amount, in each case upon written order of each of the Issuers signed by an Officer of each of the Issuers (an “Authentication Order”), which Authentication Order will, in the case of any issuance of Additional Notes, certify that such issuance is in compliance with Section 3.3. In addition, at any time, from time to time, the Trustee shall upon an Authentication Order authenticate and deliver PIK Interest Notes that may be validly issued under this Indenture.

Each such Authentication Order will specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated, whether the securities are to be Initial Notes or Additional Notes and the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding on the date of authentication, and will further specify the amount of such Notes to be issued as Global Notes or Definitive Notes. Such Notes will initially be in the form of one or more Global Notes, which (i) will represent, and will be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, the Notes to be issued, (ii) will be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee and (iii) will be held by the Notes Custodian.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Issuers to authenticate Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Issuers or any Affiliate of the Issuers. The initial authenticating agent is The Huntington National Bank.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel shall be required to be delivered in connection with a payment of PIK Interest (whether by an issuance of PIK Interest Notes or by an increase in Global Notes reflecting a PIK Payment).

SECTION 2.3. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Issuers will maintain (i) an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (including any co-registrar, the “Registrar”) and (ii) an office or agency in the United States where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange and, upon written request from the Issuers, the Registrar will provide the Issuers with a copy of such register to enable them to maintain a register of the Notes at their registered offices. The Issuers may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Issuers may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without prior notice to any Holder. The Issuers will notify the Trustee in writing and the Trustee will notify the Holders of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The Issuers or any of their Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar. The Issuers will enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement will implement the provisions hereof that relate to such Agent. The Issuers will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any such Agent. If the Issuers fail to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee will act as such, and will be entitled to appropriate compensation in accordance with Section 7.6.

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

The Issuers shall be responsible for making all calculations called for under the Notes, including determination of redemption price, premium, if any, Applicable Premium, if any, interest, determination of the amount of interest that shall be payable as PIK Interest or Cash Interest and any additional amounts or other amounts payable on the Notes. The Issuers will make the calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, their calculations will be final and binding on the Holders. The Issuers will provide a schedule of such calculations to the Trustee, certified by an Officer of the Issuer, and the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of the Issuer’s calculations without independent verification. The Trustee shall forward the Issuers’ calculations to any Holder upon the written request of such Holder.

SECTION 2.4. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. The Issuers will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee in writing of any Default by the Issuers in making any such payment. While any such Default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuers at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by such Paying Agent to the Trustee. Upon payment over to

the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than one of the Issuers) will have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. If one of the Issuers acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent.

SECTION 2.5. Lists of Holders. The Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders and will otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuers will furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders, including the aggregate principal amount of the Notes held by each thereof, and the Issuers will otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).

SECTION 2.6. Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. A Global Note may not be transferred except, as a whole, by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. Global Notes will be exchanged by the Issuers for Definitive Notes, subject to any applicable laws, only (i) if the Issuers deliver to the Trustee written notice from the Depositary that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary for the Global Notes or that is it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, the Issuers fail to appoint a successor Depositary within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary; (ii) if the Issuers in their sole discretion determine that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and deliver a written notice to such effect to the Trustee; provided that in no event will the Temporary Regulation S Global Note be exchanged by the Issuers for Definitive Notes prior to (A) the expiration of the Restricted Period and (B) the receipt by the Registrar of any certificates required pursuant to Rule 903(b)(3)(ii)(B) under the Securities Act; or (iii) upon request of the Trustee or Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes if there will have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes. In any such case, the Issuers will notify the Trustee in writing that, upon surrender by the Participants and Indirect Participants of their interests in such Global Note, certificated Notes will be issued to each Person that such Participants, Indirect Participants and DTC jointly identify as being the beneficial owner of the related Notes. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Section 2.7 and Section 2.10. Every Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.6 or Section 2.7 or Section 2.10, will be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and will be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not be exchanged for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.6(a). However, beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as provided in Section 2.6(b) or Section 2.6(c) below.

(b) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Notes will be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth in this Indenture to the extent required by the Securities Act. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also will require compliance with the applicable subparagraphs below.

(i) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Restricted Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Private Placement Legend; provided, however, that prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, no transfer of beneficial interests in a Temporary Regulation S Global Note may be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person (other than an Initial Purchaser) unless permitted by applicable law and made in compliance with Section 2.6(b)(ii) and Section 2.6(b)(iii) below. Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note. No written orders or instructions will be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.6(b)(i) unless specifically stated above.

(ii) All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to Section 2.6(b)(i) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar either (A) (1) a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in another Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase, or (B) (1) if Definitive Notes are at such time permitted to be issued pursuant to this Indenture, a written order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a Definitive Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and (2) instructions given by the Depositary to the Registrar containing information regarding the Person in whose name such Definitive Note will be registered to effect the transfer or exchange referred to in (1) immediately above; provided that in no event will Definitive Notes be issued upon the transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Note prior to (A) the expiration of the Restricted Period and (B) the receipt by the Registrar of any certificates required pursuant to Rule 903 under the Securities Act. Upon satisfaction of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes contained in this Indenture and the Notes or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act, the Trustee will adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Note(s) pursuant to Section 2.6(i) below.

(iii) Transfer of Beneficial Interests to Another Restricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.6(b)(ii) above and the Registrar receives the following:

(A) if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a 144A Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (1) thereof; and

(B) if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Note or the Permanent Regulation S Global Note, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (2) thereof.

(iv) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in a Restricted Global Note for Beneficial Interests in an Unrestricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be exchanged by any holder thereof for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note or transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note if the exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of Section 2.6(b)(ii) above, and

(A) the Registrar receives the following:

(1) if the holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note, a certificate from such holder in the form of Exhibit C hereto, including the certifications in item (1)(a) thereof; or

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

and, in each such case set forth in this subparagraph (A), if the Registrar or the Issuers so request or if the Applicable Procedures so require, an Opinion of Counsel of the Holder or the Issuers (except in the case the Issuers have so requested) in form reasonably acceptable to the Issuers to the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained in this Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act.

If any such transfer is effected pursuant to subparagraph (A) above at a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the Issuer will issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.2, the Trustee will authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of beneficial interests transferred pursuant to subparagraph (A) above.

Beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note cannot be exchanged for, or transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of, a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note.

(i) Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in Restricted Global Notes for Restricted Definitive Notes. Subject to Section 2.6(a), if any holder of a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a Restricted Definitive Note or to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Restricted Definitive Note, then upon receipt by the Registrar of the following documentation:

(A) if the holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a Restricted Definitive Note, a certificate from such holder in the form of Exhibit C hereto, including the certifications in item (2)(a) thereof;

(B) if such beneficial interest is being transferred to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, a certificate to the effect set forth in Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (1) thereof;

(E) if such beneficial interest is being transferred to the Issuers or any of their Subsidiaries, a certificate to the effect set forth in Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (3)(b) thereof; or

(iii) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will be the valid obligations of the Issuers, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits hereof, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(iv) Neither the Registrar nor the Issuers will be required (A) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business on a Business Day 15 days before the delivery of a notice of redemption of Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such delivery, (B) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part or (C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

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

(vi) The Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2.

(vii) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.6 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile or electronically.

(viii) The Trustee will have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Participants or Indirect Participants) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

(ix) None of the Trustee, the Issuers or any Agent will have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

(x) Affiliates of the Issuers, including investment funds affiliated with either of the Sponsors, may acquire, hold and dispose of the Notes and exercise voting, consent and other similar rights with respect to such Notes (subject to the express restrictions contained in this Indenture).

SECTION 2.7. Replacement Notes. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Issuers and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuers will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements for replacements of Notes are met. The Holder must supply indemnity or security sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee (with respect to the Trustee) and the Issuers (with respect to the Issuers) to protect the Issuers, the Trustee, any Agent or any authenticating agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuers and the Trustee may charge for their fees and expenses in replacing a Note including amounts to cover any tax, assessment, fee or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto.

Every replacement Note is an obligation of the Issuers.

For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under any Note shall include any increase in the outstanding principal amount in Global Notes as the result of payment of PIK Interest.

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

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 3.1, it will cease to be outstanding and interest on it will cease to accrue.

Subject to Section 2.9, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuers, a Subsidiary of the Issuers or an Affiliate of any of the Issuers holds the Note.

SECTION 2.9. Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite portion of outstanding Notes have concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, waiver or consent (other than in respect of any action pursuant to Section 9.2(a), which requires the consent of each Holder of an affected Note), Notes Beneficially Owned by, or held by or for the account of, the Issuers, any Subsidiary of the Issuers or any Affiliate of any of the Issuers will be disregarded and considered as though not outstanding. For purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, waiver or consent, only Notes which a Trust Officer actually knows to be so Beneficially Owned or held will be considered as not outstanding. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuers will promptly furnish to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any, known by the Issuers to be Beneficially Owned or held by or for the account of any of the above-described persons, and the Trustee will be entitled to accept such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Notes not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.

SECTION 2.10. Temporary Notes. Until Definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuers may prepare and the Trustee will upon receipt of an Authentication Order authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuers consider appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuers will prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Until such exchange, temporary Notes will be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as Definitive Notes.

SECTION 2.11. Cancellation. The Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee

will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will dispose of all canceled Notes in its customary manner (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act and the Trustee), and upon the written request of the Issuers, the Trustee will deliver copies of such canceled Notes to the Issuers. The Issuers may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has redeemed or paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 2.12. Payment of Interest; Defaulted Interest.

(a) Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the regular Record Date for such interest at the office or agency of the Issuers maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3.

(b) Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not paid when the same becomes due and payable and such nonpayment continues for a period of 30 days will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such defaulted interest and (to the extent lawful) interest on such defaulted interest at the rate borne by the Notes (such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein collectively called “Defaulted Interest”) will be paid by the Issuers, at their election in each case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below:

(i) The Issuers may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date (as defined below) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which will be fixed in the following manner. The Issuers will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date (not less than 30 days after such notice unless a shorter period will be acceptable to the Trustee) of the proposed payment (the “Special Interest Payment Date”), and at the same time the Issuers will deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or will make arrangements for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Issuers will fix a record date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which will be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the Special Interest Payment Date and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Issuers will promptly notify the Trustee of such Special Record Date and will, or at the written request and in the name and expense of the Issuers, the Trustee will, cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor to be given in the manner provided for in Section 13.1, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date and Special Interest Payment Date therefor having been so given, such Defaulted Interest will be paid on the Special Interest Payment Date to the Persons in

whose names the Notes (or their respective predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and will no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (ii).

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

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

SECTION 2.13. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Issuers in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” and/or “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use). The Trustee will not be responsible for the use of CUSIP or ISIN numbers, and the Trustee makes no representation as to their correctness as printed on any Note or notice to Holders. The Issuers will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers. A separate CUSIP or ISIN number will be issued for any Additional Notes, unless (i) the Initial Notes and such Additional Notes have the same maturity date, interest rate and optional redemption provisions and are treated as “fungible” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (ii) both the Initial Notes and such Additional Notes are issued in the same series (as set forth in Section 2.2) without (or with less than a de minimis amount of) original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (iii) another then-recognized identifier is used.

SECTION 2.14. Record Date. The Record Date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders entitled to vote or consent to any action by vote or consent authorized or permitted under this Indenture will be determined as provided for in TIA § 316(c).

ARTICLE III

Covenants

SECTION 3.1. Payment of Notes. The Issuers will promptly pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and in this Indenture. Principal, premium, if any, and interest will be considered paid on the date due if by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day prior to such date the Trustee or the Paying Agent holds in accordance with this Indenture money sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then coming due and the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that payment date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

Each Note will bear interest at a rate equal to: (1) an annual rate of 8.0% payable in cash (“Cash Interest”), plus (2) an annual rate of 6.0% (the “PIK Interest”) payable by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Notes represented by one or more book entry Notes or Global Notes or, with respect to Notes represented by individual certificates, if any, by issuing PIK Interest Notes, in each case by rounding down to the nearest $1.00.

PIK Interest will be considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee has received (i) an Officer’s Certificate to increase the balance of any Global Note to reflect such PIK Interest or (ii) PIK Interest Notes duly executed by the Issuers together with a written order, pursuant to Section 2.02, of the Issuers signed by an Officer of the Issuers requesting the authentication of such PIK Interest Notes by the Trustee. In connection with the payment of PIK Interest in respect of the Notes, the Issuers will, without the consent of Holders (and without regard to any restrictions or limitations set forth under Section 3.3 and Section 3.5), either increase the outstanding principal amount of the Notes or issue PIK Interest Notes under this Indenture.

The Issuers will pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified therefor in the Notes.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Issuers may, to the extent they are required to do so by law, deduct or withhold income or other similar taxes imposed by the United States of America from principal or interest payments hereunder. Any Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee and the Paying Agent or any successor in interest to any of the foregoing (each, a “Payor”) may withhold from any interest payment made on any Note to or for the benefit of any Person who is not a “United States person” (as such term is defined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) U.S. federal withholding tax, and pay such withheld amounts to the Internal Revenue Service, unless such Person provides documentation to such Issuer or other Payor such that an exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax would apply to such payment if interest on such Note were treated entirely as income from sources within the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Payors will have no obligation to gross-up for any such withholding or deduction.

The Issuers shall notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent in the event that they determine that any payment to be made by the Trustee or the Paying Agent under the Notes is a payment which could be subject to FATCA Withholding if such payment were made to a recipient that is generally unable to receive payments free from FATCA Withholding, and the extent to which the relevant payment is so treated, provided, however, that the Issuer’s obligation under this Section 3.1 shall apply only to the extent that such payments are so treated by virtue of characteristics of the Issuers, the Notes, or both. For purposes of this paragraph, “FATCA Withholding” means any withholding or deduction required pursuant to an agreement described in section 1471(b) of the Code, or otherwise imposed pursuant to sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any regulations or agreements thereunder, any official interpretations thereof, or any law implementing an intergovernmental approach thereto. Additionally, the Issuers hereby covenant with the Trustee and Paying Agent that they will provide the Trustee and Paying Agent with

sufficient information so as to enable the Trustee or Paying Agent to determine whether or not the Trustee or Paying Agent is obliged, in respect of any payments to be made by it under this Indenture, to make any FATCA Withholding.

SECTION 3.2. Reports and Other Information.

(a) Whether or not the Issuer is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Issuer will provide to the Holders and the Trustee the following reports:

(i) within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year (or such longer period as would be provided by the SEC if the Issuer were then subject to SEC reporting requirements as a non-accelerated filer), an annual report containing:

(A) audited annual financial statements of the Issuer and a report thereon from the Issuer’s independent accounting firm;

(B) a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section similar in scope to the information required under such caption by Form 10-K of the Exchange Act (which shall include a reasonably detailed description during the most recently completed fiscal quarter of any Permitted Investment in excess of $15.0 million made pursuant to clause (24) of the definition thereof); and

(C) until the earlier to occur of (1) a MYT Deposit Event and (2) the provision of MYT Alternate Security, a narrative discussion of the key financial metrics of the MYT Entities consistent with a customary earnings press release;

(ii) within 45 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year (or such longer period as would be permitted by the SEC if the Issuer were then subject to SEC reporting requirements as a non-accelerated filer), quarterly reports containing:

101

of “Permitted Debt,” (iv) all Indebtedness under the 2028 Debentures or guarantees thereof (and any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) will be deemed to have been Incurred pursuant to clause (iii)(C) of the definition of “Permitted Debt,” (v) all Indebtedness under the Remaining Unsecured Notes or guarantees thereof (and any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) will be deemed to have been Incurred pursuant to clause (iii)(D) of the definition of “Permitted Debt,” and (vi) all Indebtedness under the Non-Participating Term Loans or guarantees thereof (and any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) will be deemed to have been Incurred pursuant to clause (iii)(E) of the definition of “Permitted Debt,” and, in each case of clauses (i) through (vi) above, the Issuer will not be permitted to reclassify at any later date all or any portion of such Indebtedness. All Indebtedness originally Incurred under clause (xxviii) of the definition of “Permitted Debt” will be automatically reclassified as Ratio Debt on the first date on which such Indebtedness would have been permitted to be Incurred by the obligor thereon as Ratio Debt. Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms (including PIK Interest on the Notes), and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies, will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 3.3. Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to Indebtedness that is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness will 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 3.3.

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with any dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency will 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 dollar-equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such dollar-denominated restriction will 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 unpaid accrued interest and premiums (including tender premiums) thereon and underwriting discounts, defeasance costs, fees, commissions and expenses in connection therewith).

SECTION 3.4. Limitation on Restricted Payments.

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

(i) declare or pay any dividend or make any payment or distribution on account of the Issuer’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity

(ii) purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity Interests of the Issuer or any Parent Entity, including in connection with any merger or consolidation;

(iv) make any Restricted Investment;

(M) any encumbrances or restrictions arising or agreed to in the ordinary course of business, not relating to any Indebtedness, and that do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially affect the Issuers’ ability to make anticipated principal or interest payments on the Notes in accordance with this Indenture (as determined by an Officer of the Issuer in good faith);

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

(1) the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (as determined at the time of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(2) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of:

(A) any liabilities (as shown on the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the notes thereto) of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are Subordinated Indebtedness) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets or Equity Interests pursuant to an agreement that releases or indemnifies the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from further liability (or are otherwise extinguished in connection with the transactions relating to such Asset Sale);

(B) any notes or other obligations or other securities or assets received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents, or by their terms are required to be satisfied for cash or Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received) within 90 days of the receipt thereof; and

112

(C) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (C) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $25.0 million and (y) 0.35% of Consolidated Total Assets, calculated at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value) will be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for the purposes of this clause (2).

(b) With respect to any Collateral Asset Sale, the following provisions shall apply:

(1) The Issuer shall cause the Net Cash Proceeds of any Collateral Asset Sale to be deposited immediately in an account subject to a Control Agreement for the benefit of the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, which may be a Control Agreement in favor of the ABL Agent and/or the Extended Term Loan Agent, acting as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and/or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement; and

(2) Within 30 days after the Issuer’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Collateral Asset Sale, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary shall apply an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds from such Collateral Asset Sale, at its option, to repay (x) Senior Priority Obligations (with any such repayment of revolving Senior Priority Obligations to be accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction in commitments with respect thereto) or (y) Obligations under the Notes by, at its option, (A) purchasing Notes through open-market purchases at a price not less than 100% of the principal amount thereof; or (B) making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at a price not less than 100% of the principal amount thereof, provided that (i) in the case of a Collateral Asset Sale with respect to a warehouse or distribution center, no prepayment under this clause (2) shall be required to the extent of the cost of any investment in, or purchase of, a new warehouse or distribution center (but not to exceed the Net Cash Proceeds of such Collateral Asset Sale) completed within 24 months before and 12 months after the date of such Collateral Asset Sale; and (ii) Net Cash Proceeds from Collateral Asset Sales of stores (in an aggregate amount not to exceed $30.0 million after the Issue Date) may be applied to capital expenditures incurred within 12 months of the date of the Collateral Asset Sale.

113

(c) With respect to Asset Sales other than a Collateral Asset Sale, the following provisions shall apply: Within 365 days after the Issuer’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Sale, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may apply an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale, at its option:

(1) to repay (x) Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) or (y) Notes Obligations by, at its option, (A) purchasing Notes through open-market purchases at a price not less than 100% of the principal amount thereof, or (B) making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at a price not less than 100% of the principal amount thereof; or

(2) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Similar Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Similar Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or to acquire other assets that are used or useful in a Similar Business; provided, that any such assets that would constitute Collateral shall be pledged as Collateral under the Security Documents and in accordance with this Indenture and the Security Documents substantially simultaneously with such purchase; provided further that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be deemed to have complied with the provisions described in this clause (2) if and to the extent that, within 365 days after the Asset Sale that generated the Net Cash Proceeds, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary enters into a binding agreement to make an investment in compliance with the provision described in this clause (2), and that investment is thereafter completed within 365 days after the end of such 365-day period.

(d) Pending the final application of any Net Cash Proceeds of an Asset Sale (other than a Collateral Asset Sale, which shall be governed by Section 3.7(b) above), the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility, if any, or otherwise invest or utilize Net Cash Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

(e) Any amount of Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in Section 3.7(b) or Section 3.7(c) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, any amount of proceeds offered to Holders pursuant to Section 3.7(b) or Section 3.7(c) pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer made at any time after the Asset Sale will be deemed to have been applied as required and will not be deemed to be Excess Proceeds without regard to the extent to which such offer is accepted by the Holders. When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Issuers will make an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders and, if required by the terms of any Pari Passu Lien

114

Indebtedness, to all holders of such Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness, to purchase the maximum principal amount of such Notes and Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness, as appropriate, on a pro rata basis, that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to (x) in the case of the Notes, 100% of the principal amount thereof and (y) in the case of Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness, 100% of the principal amount thereof (or in the event such Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness was issued with original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (or such lesser price, if any, as may be provided by the terms of such Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness), to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture and the agreement governing such Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness. The Issuers will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed $25.0 million by transmitting electronically or by mailing to the Holders the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee or otherwise in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary. The Issuers may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds prior to the expiration of the application period or by electing to make an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds before the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million.

(f) For the case of both an Asset Sale of Collateral and of assets not constituting Collateral, to the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and other Indebtedness tendered or otherwise surrendered in accordance with the terms of this section is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuers may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Indebtedness tendered or otherwise surrendered by Holders in accordance with the terms of this section exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes (and the Issuers or their agents will select such Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness, if applicable) to be purchased in the manner described in Section 3.7(i) below. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. To the extent the Excess Proceeds exceed the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes (and, if required by the terms thereof, all Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness), the Issuers need only make an Asset Sale Offer up to the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Notes (and any such Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness), and any additional Excess Proceeds will not be subject to this Section 3.7 and will be permitted to be used for any purpose otherwise permitted by this Indenture in the Issuers’ discretion.

115

(g) The Issuers will 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 purchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuers will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached their obligations under this Section 3.7 by virtue of such compliance.

(h) The provisions under this Indenture relative to the Issuers’ obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of an Asset Sale may be waived or modified at any time with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes.

(i) If more Notes are tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer than the Issuers are required to purchase, selection of such Notes for purchase will be made in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such Notes are listed (but only to the extent that the Trustee has been notified in writing of such listing by the Issuer) or if such Notes are not listed, on a pro rata basis or as nearly a pro rata basis as practicable (with adjustments so that only Notes in denominations of the minimum denomination of $2,000.00 or integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof) will be purchased, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee will deem fair and appropriate (and in such manner as complies with applicable legal requirements, if any); provided that the selection of Notes for purchase will not result in a Holder with a principal amount of Notes less than the minimum denomination of $2,000.00. If all of the Notes are in global form, interests in the Notes to be redeemed will be selected for redemption by the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary. No Note will be repurchased in part if less than the minimum denomination of such Note would be left outstanding.

(ii) any Taxes imposed or withheld as a result of the failure of the Holder or beneficial owner of any Note or Guarantee to comply with any written request, made to that Holder or beneficial owner within a reasonable period before any such withholding or deduction would be payable, by an Issuer or a Foreign Guarantor to provide timely or accurate information concerning the nationality, residence or identity of such Holder or beneficial owner or to make any valid or timely declaration or similar claim or satisfy any certification information or other reporting requirements (in each case, to the extent such Holder or beneficial owner is legally eligible to do so), which is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the relevant Tax Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of deduction or withholding of such Taxes;

125

(iii) any Taxes that are imposed or withheld as a result of the presentation of any Note or Guarantee for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the relevant payment is first made available for payment to the Holder or beneficial owner (except to the extent that the Holder or beneficial owner would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Note been presented on the last day of such 30 day period);

(v) any Tax which is payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments made under or with respect to any Note or Guarantee;

(vi) any Tax imposed on or with respect to any payment by a Foreign Guarantor to the Holder if such Holder is a fiduciary, partnership, limited liability company or person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent that Taxes would not have been imposed on such payment had such Holder been the sole beneficial owner of such Note or Guarantee;

(vii) any Taxes that are imposed or withheld as a result of the presentation of any Note or Guarantee for payment by or on behalf of a Holder or beneficial owner of such Notes or Guarantee who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant Note or Guarantee to, or otherwise accepting payment from, another paying agent;

(viii) any Taxes that are imposed or withheld pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any regulations promulgated thereunder, any official interpretations thereof, any similar law or regulation adopted pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement between a non-U.S. jurisdiction and the United States with respect to the foregoing or any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code; or

(ix) any combination of items (i) through (viii) above.

(b) The relevant Foreign Guarantor will pay when due any present or future stamp, transfer, court or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes that arise in a Tax Jurisdiction with respect to the initial execution, delivery or registration of the Guarantees or any other document or instrument relating thereto (other than the Notes).

(c) The relevant Foreign Guarantor will use reasonable efforts to furnish to the Trustee and the Holders, within a reasonable period of time after the due date for the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld pursuant to applicable law, either certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by such Foreign Guarantor (in such form as provided in the ordinary course by the relevant Tax Jurisdiction and as is reasonably available to the Foreign Guarantor), or, if such receipts are not obtainable, other evidence of such payments by such Foreign Guarantor reasonably satisfactory to the Holders.

126

SECTION 3.15. Impairment of Security Interest.

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, take or knowingly or negligently omit to take, any action which action or omission might reasonably or would (in the good faith determination of the Issuer), have the result of materially impairing the value of the security interests taken as a whole (including the lien priority with respect thereto) with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of the Notes Collateral Agent and the Holders (including materially impairing the lien priority of the Notes with respect thereto) (it being understood that any release described under Section 11.6 and the incurrence of Permitted Liens shall not be deemed to so materially impair the security interests with respect to the Collateral).

(b) At the direction of the Issuer and without the consent of the Holders, the Notes Collateral Agent (or its agent or designee) shall from time to time enter into one or more amendments, extensions, renewals, restatements, supplements or other modifications or replacements to or of the Security Documents to, but subject in all cases to the Intercreditor Agreements: (i) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency therein that does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders in any material respect, (ii) add to the Collateral or (iii) make any other change thereto that does not adversely affect the Holders in any material respect.

(i) notify the Notes Collateral Agent thereof;

(ii) cause any such acquired Real Property owned in fee simple that has a fair market value (as determined in good faith by an Officer of the Issuer) of $2.5 million or more to be subjected to a customary mortgage or deed of trust securing the Notes Obligations;

(iii) cause any such acquired or owned leasehold Real Property to be subjected to a customary mortgage or deed of trust securing the Notes Obligations;

(iv) with respect to any such Real Property, to the extent provided to the holders of any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or the Restricted Subsidiaries (or any agent or representative thereof), obtain fully paid American Land Title Association Lender’s Extended Coverage title insurance policies, with endorsements (including a standard survey endorsement or equivalent (only with respect to any such Real Property acquired or owned in fee simple pursuant to Section 3.16(b)(x)) and zoning endorsements where available) and in customary amounts that in no event shall be less than fair market value of such Real Property (the “Mortgage Policies”);

(b) In the event that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any period of time pursuant to Section 3.17(a) (any such period, a “Suspension Period”), and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events.

(c) Upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Excess Proceeds from Asset Sales will be reset at zero.

In addition, 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 3.3(b)(iv). In addition, for purposes of Section 3.8, all agreements and arrangements entered into by the Issuer and any Restricted Subsidiary with an Affiliate of the Issuer during the Suspension Period prior to such Reversion Date will be deemed to have been entered into on or prior to the Issue Date, and for purposes of Section 3.6, all contracts entered into during the Suspension Period prior to such Reversion Date that contain any of the restrictions contemplated by such Section 3.6 will be deemed to have been existing on the Issue Date.

(e) During the Suspension Period, any reference in the definitions of “Permitted Liens” and “Unrestricted Subsidiary” to Section 3.3 or any provision thereof will be construed as if Section 3.3 had remained in effect since the Issue Date and during the Suspension Period.

(f) During the Suspension Period, the obligation to grant further Subsidiary Guarantees will be suspended. Upon the Reversion Date, the obligation to grant Subsidiary Guarantees under Section 3.11 will be reinstated (and the Reversion Date will be deemed to be the date on which any guaranteed Indebtedness was Incurred for purposes of Section 3.11).

129

(g) Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of any failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during any Suspension Period, and the Issuer and any Subsidiary of the Issuer will be permitted, following a Reversion Date, without causing a Default or Event of Default or breach of any of the Suspended Covenants (notwithstanding the reinstatement thereof) under this Indenture, to honor, comply with or otherwise perform any contractual commitments or obligations entered into during a Suspension Period following a Reversion Date and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.

(h) The Issuer will provide an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee indicating the occurrence of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date. The Trustee will have no obligation to (i) independently determine or verify if such events have occurred, (ii) make any determination regarding the impact of actions taken during the Suspension Period on the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ future compliance with their covenants or (iii) notify the Holders of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date.

(i) For the avoidance of doubt, the MYT Limited Guarantees, the MYT Covenants, the MYT Waterfall and the other provisions contained in the MYT Guarantee and Collateral Agreement will remain in place during any Suspension Period.

SECTION 3.18. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Issuers and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuers and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that they will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

SECTION 3.19. Xxxxx Holdings Corporate Reorganization. Xxxxx Holdings LLC shall be merged into the Issuer, and the intercompany lease agreements between Xxxxx Holdings LLC and the LLC Co-Issuer will be terminated, in each case, within 90 days after the Issue Date (or such later date as mutually agreed by the Company Parties and the Extended Term Loan Agent) and, concurrently with such merger, the Issuer, as successor to Xxxxx Holdings LLC, shall mortgage the owned Real Properties constituting collateral currently held by Xxxxx Holdings LLC, which mortgages will have the Required Collateral Lien Priority.

SECTION 3.20. Ratings. The Issuers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause, within 60 days after the end of the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2019, the Notes to receive a rating from S&P or Xxxxx’x, or, if during such time neither of such institutions shall be rating such obligations, an equivalent rating from another

130

nationally recognized statistical rating agency (as described in Rule 436 under the Securities Act).

otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions to, any Person unless:

ARTICLE V

Redemption of Notes

SECTION 5.1. Optional Redemption.

(a) The Notes may be redeemed, in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, subject to the conditions and at the redemption prices set forth in Paragraph 7 of the form of Note set forth in Exhibit A hereto, which are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Indenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date.

(b) On and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption so long as the Issuers have deposited with the Paying Agent at least one Business Day prior to the relevant redemption date

134

funds sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes to be redeemed.

SECTION 5.2. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee of Optional Redemptions. If the Issuers elect to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 5.1 or the Issuers are required to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 5.9, the Issuers will furnish to the Trustee, at least five calendar days for Global Notes, and at least 10 calendar days for Definitive Notes before notice of redemption is required to be delivered or caused to be delivered to Holders pursuant to Section 5.4, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (a) the paragraph or subparagraph of such Note and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption will occur, (b) the Redemption Date, (c) the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (d) the redemption price. The Issuers may also include a request in such Officer’s Certificate that the Trustee give the notice of redemption in the Issuers’ name and at their expense and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in Section 5.4. The Issuers will deliver to the Trustee such documentation and records as will enable the Trustee to select the Notes to be redeemed pursuant to Section 5.3.

SECTION 5.3. Selection by Trustee of Notes to Be Redeemed. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption on a pro rata basis (or as nearly pro rata as practicable) unless otherwise required by law or the rules of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such Notes are listed (but only to the extent that the Trustee has been notified in writing of such listing by the Issuer), in minimum denominations of $2,000.00 and in integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof; provided that the selection of Notes for redemption will not result in a Holder owning less than $2,000.00 in aggregate principal amount of Notes, and provided further that if all of the Notes are in global form, interests in the Notes to be redeemed will be selected for redemption by the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary. If any Note is to be purchased or redeemed in part only, the notice of purchase or redemption relating to such Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof that has been or is to be purchased or redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note in accordance with Section 5.7. On and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption so long as the Issuers have deposited with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes to be redeemed.

The Trustee will promptly notify the Issuers in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Notes selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to redemption of Notes will relate, in the case of any Note redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Note which has been or is to be redeemed.

135

SECTION 5.4. Notice of Redemption. In the case of a redemption pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.9, the Issuers will deliver or cause to be delivered or in the case of Notes in global form, delivered or caused to be delivered electronically in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to a date fixed for redemption (a “Redemption Date”); provided, however, that redemption notices may be delivered more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued pursuant to Article VIII. In connection with any redemption of Notes, any such redemption may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, the funding of the amounts required to be funded by Calling Lenders in connection with the Call Right Redemption. In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice will state that, in the Issuers’ discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions will be satisfied (or waived by the Issuers in their sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions are not satisfied (or waived by the Issuers in their sole discretion) by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date so delayed. At the Issuers’ written request, the Trustee may give notice of redemption in the Issuers’ name and at the Issuers’ expense.

All notices of redemption will be prepared by the Issuers and will state:

(a) the Redemption Date,

(b) the redemption price and the amount of accrued interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 5.6, if any,

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

(d) in case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice which relates to such Note will state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, the Holder will receive, without charge, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed,

(e) that on the Redemption Date the redemption price (and accrued interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 5.6, if any) will become due and payable upon each such Note, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed, and, unless the Issuers default in making the redemption payment, that interest on Notes called for redemption (or the portion thereof) will cease to accrue on and after said date,

(f) the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price and accrued interest, if any,

(g) the name and address of the Paying Agent,

136

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

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

(j) the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes are to be redeemed, and

(k) a description in reasonable detail of any conditions precedent applicable to such redemption.

At the Issuers’ request, the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Issuers’ name and at its expense; provided, however, that the Issuers will have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date, an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. Such Officer’s Certificate will state that all conditions precedent to the delivery of such notice have been complied with.

SECTION 5.5. Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 3:00 p.m. New York City time, on the Business Day Prior to any Redemption Date, the Issuers will deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Issuers are acting as their own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.4) an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all the Notes which are to be redeemed on that date.

SECTION 5.6. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes so to be redeemed will, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the redemption price therein specified (together with accrued interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the Issuers default in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date) such Notes will cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Note for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Note will be paid by the Issuers at the redemption price, together with accrued interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

If any Note called for redemption is not so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) will, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Notes.

If a Redemption Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on such Record

137

Date, and no further interest will be payable to Holders whose Notes will be subject to redemption by the Issuers.

SECTION 5.7. Notes Redeemed in Part. Any Note which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of this Article) will be surrendered at the office or agency of the Issuers maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.3 (with, if the Issuers so require, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuers duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Issuers will execute, and the Trustee upon receipt of an Authentication Order will authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Note at the expense of the Issuers, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered, provided that each such new Note will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000.00 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof.

SECTION 5.8. Offer to Repurchase. In the event that, pursuant to Section 3.7, the Issuers are required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase the Notes (an “Offer to Repurchase”), it will follow the procedures specified below:

(a) The Offer to Repurchase will remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Issuers will apply all Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”), to the purchase of Notes and such Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness, if any (in each instance, on a pro rata basis, if applicable), or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and other Indebtedness tendered in response to the Offer to Repurchase. Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made pursuant to Section 3.1.

(b) If the Purchase Date is on or after an Interest Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Offer to Repurchase.

(c) Upon the commencement of an Offer to Repurchase, the Issuers will deliver a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders. The notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Offer to Repurchase. The notice, which will govern the terms of the Offer to Repurchase, will state:

(i) that the Offer to Repurchase is being made pursuant to this Section 5.8 and Section 3.7, and the length of time the Offer to Repurchase will remain open;

138

(ii) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;

(iii) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest;

(iv) that, unless the Issuers default in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer to Repurchase will cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date;

(vii) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuers or the Depositary, as the case may be, receives, not later than on the expiration of the Offer Period, facsimile transmission, pdf communication sent via electronic means or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Notes purchased;

(viii) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and, if applicable, Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness, if any, surrendered by Holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Trustee will select the Notes and, if applicable, the Issuers will select such Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness to be purchased or prepaid, on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Lien Indebtedness, if any, surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuers so that only Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000.00 or integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof are redeemed); and

(ix) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).

(d) On or before the Purchase Date, the Issuers will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Offer to Repurchase, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Issuers in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.8. The Issuers or the Depositary, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date)

139

deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Issuers for purchase, and the Issuers will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Issuers, will authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted will be promptly delivered by the Issuers to the Holder thereof. The Issuers will publicly announce the results of the Offer to Repurchase on the Purchase Date.

(i) the Liens created by the Security Documents securing the Notes or Guarantees shall at any time not constitute perfected Liens on any portion of the Collateral intended to be covered thereby (to the extent perfection is required by this Indenture or such Security Documents) other than in accordance with the terms of such relevant Security Document and this Indenture and other than the satisfaction in full of all Obligations under this Indenture or release or amendment of any such Lien in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or such Security Documents, or (ii) except for expiration in accordance with its terms or amendment, modification, waiver, termination or release in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such relevant Security Document, any such Security Document shall for whatever reason be terminated or cease to be in full force and effect, if, in each case, such default occurs with respect to a portion of the Collateral exceeding $50.0 million in fair market value;

(j) the MYT Limited Guarantee of any MYT Guarantor Entity ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms thereof or of this Indenture) or any MYT Guarantor Entity (or any Officer thereof with authority to act on behalf of such MYT Guarantor Entity with respect to such matters) denies in writing that it has any further liability under its MYT Limited Guarantee or gives written notice to such effect, other than by reason of the termination or discharge of this Indenture or the

142

release of any such MYT Limited Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture, and such Default continues for five days;

(k) (i) the Liens created by the MYT Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and related security documents with respect to the assets securing the MYT Limited Guarantees shall at any time not constitute perfected Liens on any portion of the MYT Limited Guarantee Collateral or the MYT Account intended to be covered thereby (to the extent perfection is required by this Indenture or such security documents) other than in accordance with the terms of the MYT Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, such relevant security document and this Indenture and other than the satisfaction in full of all Notes Obligations or release or amendment of any such Lien in accordance with the terms of the MYT Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, this Indenture or such security documents, or (ii) except for expiration in accordance with its terms or amendment, modification, waiver, termination or release in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the MYT Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and such relevant security document, any such security document shall for whatever reason be terminated or cease to be in full force and effect, if, in each case, such default occurs with respect to the MYT Account or a portion of the MYT Limited Guarantee Collateral exceeding $12.5 million in fair market value;

(l) the failure by MYT Parent or any of the MYT Entities to comply with or cause compliance with the terms of the MYT Waterfall; or

(m) prior to the earlier of (a) a MYT Deposit Event and (b) the provision of the MYT Alternate Security, the failure by any of the MYT Entities to comply for 30 days after receipt of written notice referred to below with any of the MYT Covenants.

The foregoing will 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 Section 6.1(c) will not constitute an Event of Default until either the Trustee notifies in writing the Issuers or the Holders of at least 25.0% in principal amount of outstanding Notes notify in writing the Issuers and the Trustee of the default and such default is not cured within the time specified in Section 6.1(c) after receipt of such notice.

SECTION 6.2. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(e) or Section 6.1(f) above with respect to an Issuer) occurs and is continuing, either the Trustee, by written notice to the Issuers, or the Holders of at least 25.0% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Issuers and the Trustee, may declare the Contractual Performance Amount to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such Contractual Performance Amount will be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default arising from Section 6.1(e) or Section 6.1(f) of an Issuer occurs, the Contractual Performance Amount shall be due and

143

payable as of immediately prior to the occurrence of such Event of Default without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors agree and acknowledge that the excess of the Contractual Performance Amount over the sum of the principal amount of the then outstanding Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest (the “Liquidated Damages Amount”) constitutes liquidated damages and not unmatured interest or a penalty, and the actual amount of damages to the Holders as a result of the relevant Event of Default would be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, the Liquidated Damages Amount is provided by mutual agreement of the Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee (on behalf of the Holders) as a reasonable estimation and calculation of such actual lost profits and other actual damages of the Holders. Each Holder, by accepting a Note (or a beneficial interest therein), shall be deemed to have directed the Trustee to make such agreement on its behalf.

SECTION 6.3. Other Remedies.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy (including a lawsuit for breach of contract) 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 (including sums owed to the Trustee, the Agents and their agents and counsel) and the Guarantees.

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 will 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. All available remedies are cumulative.

SECTION 6.4. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive, rescind or cancel any declaration of an existing or past Default or Event of Default and its consequences (including acceleration) under this Indenture if such waiver, rescission or cancellation would not conflict with any judgment or decree, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, the Notes (other than such nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due as a result of such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, such Default will cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom will be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

In the event of any Event of Default arising from Section 6.1(d), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any payment default on the Notes Obligations resulting from acceleration of the Notes) will be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if prior to 20 days after such Event of Default arose, the Issuer delivers an

144

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 otherwise been cured.

SECTION 6.5. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 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. The Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder (it being understood that neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent has an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders) or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to security or indemnification reasonably satisfactory to it in its reasonable discretion against all losses, liabilities and expenses that may be caused by taking or not taking such action.

SECTION 6.6. Limitation on Suits. In case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. 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:

(a) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing or will occur upon notice and/or passage of time;

(b) Holders of at least 25.0% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested (the “Requesting Holders”) in writing the Trustee to pursue the remedy, which pursuit of the requested remedy may be conditioned upon the occurrence of an Event of Default in the future;

(c) such Requesting Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity in respect of any loss, liability or expense (which security or indemnity is reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(d) the Trustee has not complied with, or indicated in writing to the Requesting Holders that it will comply with, such request within 10 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

145

(e) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a written direction inconsistent with such request within such 10-day period.

SECTION 6.7. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, will not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 6.8. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1 (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuers for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.6.

SECTION 6.9. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuers, their Subsidiaries or their respective creditors or properties and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders (pursuant to the written direction of Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes) in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee will consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.6. Nothing herein contained will be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in such proceeding.

SECTION 6.10. Priorities. The Trustee will pay out any money or property received by it in the following order:

First: to the Trustee and the Agents for amounts due under Section 7.6;

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

146

Third: to the Issuers or, to the extent the Trustee receives any amount for any Subsidiary Guarantor, to such Guarantor as a court of competent jurisdiction will direct.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before such record date, the Issuers (or Trustee) will deliver to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than 10.0% in outstanding principal amount of the Notes.

ARTICLE VII

Trustee

SECTION 7.1. Duties of Trustee.

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will, in the exercise of its rights and powers under this Indenture, use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise of such rights and powers as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs, subject to the provisions of clause (h) below.

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default of which a Trust Officer has actual knowledge, the Trustee:

(i) undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(ii) in the absence of gross negligence or bad faith on its part, 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 under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees, as applicable. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee will examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees as the case may be (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

147

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

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

(ii) the Trustee will not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer or Trust Officers unless it is proved in a final non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

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

(d) The Trustee and the Agents will not be liable for interest on any money received by it and such money shall be held uninvested except as the Trustee and the Agents may agree in writing with the Issuers.

(e) Money held in trust by the Trustee or an Agent need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

(f) No provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees will require the Trustee or an Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it will have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(g) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee will be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.1.

(h) The Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent will 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 unless such Holders will have offered to the Trustee, security, prefunding or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it in its reasonable discretion against any loss, liability or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

SECTION 7.2. Rights of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee and the Agents may conclusively rely and will be protected in acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond or any other paper or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person or Persons. The Trustee and the Agents need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

148

(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

(c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys, custodians, nominees and agents and will not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of or for the supervision of any agent, custodians, nominees or attorney appointed with due care.

(d) The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or negligence as determined in a final non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.

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

(f) The Trustee and the Agents will not be bound to make any investigation into any statement, warranty or representation, or the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond or other paper or document made or in connection with this Indenture; moreover, the Trustee and the Agents will not be bound to make any investigation into (i) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (ii) the occurrence of any default, or the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Indenture or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (iii) the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee or an Agent, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee or an Agent, as applicable, determines to make such further inquiry or investigation, it will be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuers, personally or by agent or attorney and will incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(g) The Trustee will not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default except any Default or Event of Default of which a Trust Officer will have (i) received written notification from the Issuers or a Holder at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture or (ii) obtained “actual knowledge.” “Actual knowledge” will mean the actual fact or statement of knowing by a Trust Officer without independent investigation with respect thereto.

149

(h) In no event will the Trustee or an Agent 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 or Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(i) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and will be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent (including the Agents), custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

(j) The Trustee may request that the Issuers deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture.

(k) The Trustee and the Agents will not have any duty (i) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this Indenture or any agreement referred to herein, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, re-filing or redepositing of any thereof or (ii) to see to any insurance.

(l) The right of the Trustee or an Agent to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Indenture will not be construed as a duty.

SECTION 7.3. Individual Rights of Trustee. Subject to the TIA, the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Section 7.9. In addition, the Trustee will be permitted to engage in transactions with the Issuers; provided, however, that if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest (as such term is used in the TIA) the Trustee must (a) eliminate such conflict within 90 days of acquiring such conflicting interest, (b) apply to the SEC for permission to continue acting as Trustee or (c) resign.

SECTION 7.4. Disclaimer. Neither the Trustee nor any Agent will be responsible for and none of them makes any representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees, none of them will be accountable for the Issuers’ use of the Notes or the proceeds from the Notes, and none of them will be responsible for any statement of the Issuers 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 or for the use or application of any funds received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee.

SECTION 7.5. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and is actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee will provide to each Holder notice of the Default within 90 days after it is actually known to the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on any Note, the

150

Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the Holders.

SECTION 7.6. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuers will pay to the Trustee and the Agents from time to time such compensation for their services as the parties agree in writing from time to time. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuers will reimburse the Trustee and the Agents upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including, but not limited to, costs of collection, costs of preparing and reviewing reports, certificates and other documents, costs of preparation and mailing of notices to Holders and reasonable costs of counsel, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuers will indemnify the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder (including Paying Agent, and Registrar), and each of their officers, directors, employees, counsel and agents, against any and all loss, liability or expense (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of their duties hereunder and under the Notes Documents, including the Notes and the Guarantees, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture (including this Section 7.6), the Notes Documents, including the Notes and the Guarantees and of defending itself against any claims (whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuers or otherwise). The Trustee and the Agents will notify the Issuers promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee or an Agent to so notify the Issuers will not relieve the Issuers of their obligations hereunder. If so required by the Trustee or the Agents, the Issuers will defend the claim and the Trustee and the Agents may have separate counsel and the Issuers will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuers need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee or an 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.

To secure the Issuers’ payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee will 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 right of the Trustee to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 7.6 will not be subordinate to any other liability or indebtedness of the Issuers.

The Issuers’ obligations pursuant to this Section and any lien arising hereunder will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee or an Agent. When the Trustee or an Agent incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.1(e) or (f) with respect to the Issuers, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

Pursuant to Section 10.1, the obligations of the Issuers hereunder are jointly and severally guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors.

151

SECTION 7.7. Replacement of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuers. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee upon written notice to the Issuers and the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Issuers will remove the Trustee if:

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

(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.

(b) If the Trustee resigns or is removed by the Issuers or by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and such Holders do not within 30 days thereafter 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 Issuers will promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

(c) A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuers. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will deliver a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.6. All costs reasonably incurred in connection with any resignation or removal hereunder will be borne by the Issuers.

(d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of at least 10.0% in principal amount of the Notes may petition, at the Issuers’ expense, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e) If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.9, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed, any Holder 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 7.7, the Issuers’ obligations under this Indenture will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

SECTION 7.8. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee, consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust

152

business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act will be the successor Trustee.

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee will succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes will 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 will 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 will have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided.

SECTION 7.9. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee will have a combined capital and surplus of at least $150,000 as set forth in its most recent filed annual report of condition.

This Indenture will always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA § 310(b).

SECTION 7.10. Limitation on Duty of Trustee. The Trustee will not have any duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees by the Issuers, the Subsidiary Guarantors or any other Person.

SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuers. The Trustee is subject to TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed will be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

SECTION 7.12. Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after each October 15, beginning with October 15, 2019, the Trustee will provide to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with TIA § 313(b). The Trustee will also provide all reports as required by TIA § 313(c). The Trustee shall promptly provide, upon written request by a Holder (including an owner of beneficial interest in a Note) a true and complete copy of each and any Notes Document (including schedules and exhibits thereto).

The Issuers will promptly notify the Trustee in writing when any Notes are listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof.

153

ARTICLE VIII

Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance

SECTION 8.1. Discharge of Liability on Notes; Defeasance.

(a) This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to rights, indemnities and immunities of the Trustee and to surviving rights of registration or transfer or exchange of Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) as to all outstanding Notes, and the Liens, if any, on the Collateral securing the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be released, in each case when:

(i) either (A) all the Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than Notes which have been replaced or paid pursuant to Section 2.7 and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuers and thereafter repaid to the Issuers or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (B) all of the Notes not previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable, (2) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year or (3) if redeemable at the option of the Issuers, have been called for redemption or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuers, and any of the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds in cash in U.S. Dollars, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof 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 Issuers directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

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

(iii) Issuer 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 Section 8.1(c) and Section 8.2, the Issuers at any time may terminate (i) all of their obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (with respect to such Notes) and have each Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligation discharged with respect to its Subsidiary Guarantee and have Liens, if any, on the Collateral securing the Notes and the Note Guarantees released and cure any then-existing Events of Default (“legal defeasance option”) or (ii) its obligations under Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.14, 3.15, 3.16, 3.19 and 3.20 and the operation of Section 4.1 (other than Sections 4.1(a)(i), (ii) and (vi)) and Sections 6.1(c) (with respect to any Default under Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.14, 3.15, 3.16), 3.19 and 3.20), 6.1(d), 6.1(e) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Issuers

The Issuers may exercise their legal defeasance option notwithstanding their prior exercise of the covenant defeasance option. In the event that the Issuers terminate all of their obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (with respect to such Notes) by exercising the legal defeasance option or the covenant defeasance option, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee of such Notes will be terminated simultaneously with the termination of such obligations.

(c) If the Issuers exercise their legal defeasance option, payment of the Notes so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Issuers exercise their covenant defeasance option, payment of the Notes so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(c) (with respect to any Default by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with any of their obligations under Article III other than Sections 3.1, 3.11, 3.13, 3.17, 6.1(d), 6.1(e) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Issuers only), 6.1(f) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Issuers only)), 6.1(g), 6.1(h), 6.1(i), 6.1(j), 6.1(k) or 6.1(m).

(d) Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Issuers, the Trustee will acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Issuers terminate.

(e) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Issuers’ obligations in Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 7.6, 7.7 and in this Article VIII will survive until the Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Issuers’ obligations in Sections 7.6, 8.5 and 8.6 will survive such satisfaction and discharge.

SECTION 8.2. Conditions to Defeasance.

(a) The Issuers may exercise their legal defeasance option or their covenant defeasance option only if:

(i) the Issuers irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited in trust with the Trustee cash in U.S. Dollars, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of, and premium (if any) and interest on the applicable Notes when due at maturity or redemption, as the case may be; provided that if such redemption is made pursuant to Paragraph 7(b) of the form of Note set forth in Exhibit A hereto (or any corresponding paragraph of a Global Note or a Definitive Note), then: (A) the amount of money or U.S. Government Obligations that the Issuers must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited will be determined using an assumed Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of such deposit, as calculated by the Issuers in good faith; and (B) the Issuers must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited additional money in trust on the redemption date as necessary to pay the Applicable Premium as determined on such date;

155

(ii) the Issuers deliver to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm expressing their 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) the Issuers deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does not constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940;

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

(v) in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Issuers will have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Issuers have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (B) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will confirm 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;

(vi) in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Issuers will 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

(vii) the Issuers 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 Issuers may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of such Notes at a future date in accordance with Article V.

SECTION 8.3. Application of Trust Money. The Trustee will hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article VIII. It will apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations

156

through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes.

SECTION 8.4. Repayment to Issuers. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Issuers from time to time upon Company Order any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in this Article VIII which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option, as applicable, provided that the Trustee will not be required to liquidate any U.S. Government Obligations in order to comply with the provisions of this Section 8.4.

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent will pay to the Issuers upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuers for payment as general creditors.

SECTION 8.5. Indemnity for U.S. Government Obligations. The Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, will pay and will 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 8.6. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or 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 obligations of the Issuers and each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article VIII until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII; provided, however, that, if any of the Issuers or the Subsidiary Guarantors has made any payment of interest on or principal of any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, will 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 Paying Agent.

ARTICLE IX

157

any related security documents), the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, without notice to or consent of any Holder:

provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no co-obligor or co-issuer may be added (directly or indirectly) to the Notes without the consent of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

SECTION 9.2. With Consent of Holders.

(a) This Indenture and the Notes Documents, including the Notes, the Guarantees and the Security Documents may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) and any existing or past Default or compliance with any provisions of such documents may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes). However, without the consent of each Holder of a Note affected (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Notes held by Affiliates), no amendment, supplement or waiver may (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

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

159

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

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

(iv) waive a Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration;

(v) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note or change the time at which any Note may be redeemed as described under Section 5.1;

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

(vii) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes;

(viii) make any change in the amendment or waiver provisions of this Indenture that require each Holder’s consent, as described in clauses (i) through (xi);

(ix) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes;

(x) make the Notes or any Guarantee subordinated in right of payment or “waterfall” priority to, in either case, any other Obligations;

(xi) release any Issuer or Subsidiary Guarantor from its Obligations under the Notes Documents, except in accordance with the terms of the Notes Documents; or

(xii) prior to the earlier of (a) a MYT Deposit Event and (b) the provision of MYT Alternate Security, release any MYT Guarantor from its MYT Limited Guarantee, except in accordance with the terms of the Notes Documents.

In addition, without the consent of the Holders of at least 66 2/3% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, no amendment, supplement or waiver may modify any Notes Document that would have the effect of (i) releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents (except as permitted by the terms of this Indenture or the Security Documents) or changing or altering the priority of Notes Liens on the Collateral or (ii) releasing all or substantially all of the “Collateral” (as defined in the MYT Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) or changing or altering the

160

priority of the Liens granted pursuant to the MYT Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (except as permitted by the terms thereof or any other Notes Document).

(b) The consent of the Holders under this Section 9.2 is not necessary to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it will be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

(c) Additional Notes will be disregarded for purposes of any amendment or waiver relating to a Default or Event of Default that existed (disregarding any applicable notice, cure or grace periods) prior to the time of issuance of such Additional Notes.

(d) After an amendment under this Section 9.2 becomes effective, the Issuers will (or will cause the Trustee, at the expense of and at the written request of the Issuers, to) deliver to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure of the Issuers to deliver such notice, or any defect therein, will not in any way impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.2.

SECTION 9.3. Effect of Consents and Waivers. A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Note will 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. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it will bind every Holder unless it makes a change described in clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 9.2(a), in which case the amendment or waiver or other action will bind each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Notes. An amendment or waiver made pursuant to Section 9.2 will become effective upon receipt by the Trustee of the requisite number of written consents.

The Issuers may, but will not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their 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 their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, will be entitled to give such consent or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date.

SECTION 9.4. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee 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 Issuers or the Trustee so determines, the Issuers in exchange for the Note will issue and the Trustee will authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note will not affect the validity of such amendment.

SECTION 9.5. Trustee To Sign Amendments. The Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, as the case may be, will sign any amendment, supplement or waiver

161

authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not, in the sole determination of the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as the case may be, adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as the case may be. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing any amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to this Article IX, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, as the case may be, will be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.1 and Section 7.2) will 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 or complies with this Indenture, that all conditions precedent to such amendment required by this Indenture have been complied with and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuers, enforceable against the Issuers in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel will be required for the Trustee to execute any amendment or supplement adding a new Guarantor under this Indenture.

ARTICLE X

Guarantees

SECTION 10.1. Guarantees.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article X, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, irrevocably, fully and unconditionally guarantees, on a senior basis, as guarantor and not as a surety, with each other Guarantor, the full and punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, all Obligations of the Issuers under this Indenture and the Notes Documents (including interest that, but for the filing of a petition in any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding with respect to the Issuers, would have accrued on any Obligation, whether or not a claim is allowed against the Issuers for such interest in the related bankruptcy proceeding) to the Holders, the Trustee and each Agent, whether for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise (all such obligations guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantors being herein called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees (to the extent lawful) that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound under this Article X notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Subsidiary Guarantor Obligation.

(b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives (to the extent lawful) presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Issuers of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives (to the extent lawful) notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives (to the extent lawful) notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations.

(c) Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee herein constitutes a Guarantee of payment when due (and not a Guarantee of

162

collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(d) Except as set forth in Section 10.2 and Article VIII, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder will not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and will not (to the extent lawful) 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 will not (to the extent lawful) be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (i) the failure of any Holder, the Trustee or any Agent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuers or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes, the Notes Collateral Agreement, the MYT Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any other Notes Document; (iv) the release of any security held by any Holder, the Trustee or any Agent for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (v) the failure of any Holder, the Trustee or any Agent to exercise any right or remedy against any other Guarantor; (vi) any change in the ownership of the Issuers; (vii) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (viii) 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 such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

(e) Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee herein will remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations or such Subsidiary Guarantor is released from its Subsidiary Guarantee in compliance with Section 4.1, Section 10.2 and Article VIII. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee herein will continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder, the Trustee or any Agent upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuers or otherwise.

(f) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder, the Trustee or any Agent has at law or in equity against any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuers to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same will become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Trustee or the Trustee on behalf of the Holders, the Trustee or any Agent an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations then due and owing and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) (including

163

interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding).

(g) Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Subsidiary Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed by this Guarantee may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Subsidiary Guarantee in this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed by this Guarantee and (ii) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guarantee.

(h) Each Subsidiary Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under this Guarantee.

(i) No Issuers or the Subsidiary Guarantors will be required to make a notation on the Notes to reflect any Subsidiary Guarantee or any release, termination or discharge thereof and any such notation will not be a condition to the validity of any Guarantee.

SECTION 10.2. Limitation on Liability; Termination, Release and Discharge.

(a) Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law or the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of such Subsidiary Guarantor and not otherwise being void or voidable under any similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

(b) A Subsidiary Guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor (other than Notes PropCo and Extended Term Loan PropCo) will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged:

(i) upon the sale, exchange, disposition or other transfer (including through merger or consolidation) of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor to a party that is not an Affiliate of the Issuer, if after such transaction, the Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary (so long as such transaction is permitted by this Indenture); or

164

(ii) upon the Issuers’ exercise of their legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option under Section 8.1(b) or if the Issuers’ Obligations under this Indenture are discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

(i) upon the sale, exchange, disposition or other transfer (including through merger or consolidation) of all of the Capital Stock of Notes PropCo to a party that is not an Affiliate of the Issuer, if after such transaction, Notes PropCo is no longer a Subsidiary (so long as such transaction is permitted by this Indenture); or

(d) The Extended Term Loan PropCo Guarantee will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged:

(i) upon the sale, exchange, disposition or other transfer (including through merger or consolidation) of all of the Capital Stock of Extended Term Loan PropCo to a party that is not an Affiliate of the Issuer, if after such transaction, Extended Term Loan PropCo is no longer a Subsidiary (so long as such transaction is permitted by this Indenture); or

(e) In the case of Section 10.2(b), the Issuers will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with.

(f) The release of a Subsidiary Guarantor from its Subsidiary Guarantee and its obligations under this Indenture in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.2 will not preclude the future application of Section 3.11 to such Person.

SECTION 10.3. Right of Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that any such Guarantor will have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made on the obligations under its Guarantee, such Guarantor will be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the Issuers or any other Guarantor who have not paid their proportionate share of such payment. The provisions of this Section 10.3 will in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee and the Holders and each Subsidiary Guarantor will remain liable to the Trustee and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

165

SECTION 10.4. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, no Guarantor will be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Trustee or any Holder against the Issuers or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Trustee, any Agent or any Holder for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor will any Subsidiary Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Issuers or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Trustee, any Agent and the Holders by the Issuers on account of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full. If any amount will be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guaranteed Obligations will not have been paid in full, such amount will be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Trustee, any Agent and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and will, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.5. Limitations on Merger. Subject to Section 4.1 and Section 10.2, a Subsidiary Guarantor will not, and the Issuer will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving corporation), 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:

(a) such Person is a Successor Guarantor;

(b) the Successor Guarantor (if other than such Subsidiary Guarantor) expressly assumes all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture or other documents or instruments;

(c) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Successor Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Guarantor or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction) no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing; and

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

(e) such sale or disposition or consolidation or merger does not violate Section 3.7.

The Successor Guarantor will succeed to, and be substituted for, such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee,

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

SECTION 12.3. No Additional Representations and Warranties. Each Releasing Party hereby agrees and acknowledges that, except as expressly provided in this Indenture and the Definitive Documents, no Released Party, in any capacity, has warranted or otherwise made any representations concerning any Released Claim (including any representation or warranty concerning the existence, non-existence, validity, or invalidity of any Released Claim). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Indenture is intended to impair or otherwise derogate from any of the representations, warranties, or covenants expressly set forth in this Indenture or any of the Definitive Documents.

SECTION 12.4. Release of Unknown Claims. Each of the Releasing Parties hereby expressly acknowledges that although ordinarily a general release may not extend to any Released Claims which the Releasing Party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor, which if known by it may have materially affected its settlement with the party released, it has carefully considered and taken into account in determining to enter into the releases set forth under Article XII the possible existence of such unknown losses or claims. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Holder, by its holding of a Note, and, on behalf of each Company Releasing Party, the Issuers and Subsidiary Guarantors, expressly waive and relinquish any and all rights such Releasing Party may have or conferred upon it under any federal, state, or local statute, rule, regulation, or principle of common law or equity which provide that a release does not extend to claims which the claimant does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of providing the releases set forth under Article XII or which may in any way limit the effect or scope of such releases with respect to the Released Claims, which such Releasing Party did not know or suspect to exist in such Releasing Party’s favor at the time of providing such releases, which in each case if known by it may have materially affected its settlement with any Released Party, including any rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code or any analogous applicable state or federal law or regulation. Each of the Releasing Parties hereby expressly acknowledges that the releases and covenants not to xxx contained in this Indenture are effective regardless of whether those released matters or Released Claims are presently known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, or foreseen or unforeseen.

176

To the extent that the releases set forth above include releases to which Section 1542 of the California Civil Code or similar provisions of other applicable law applies, it is the intention of each Holder (in its capacity as a holder of the Notes) and each Company Releasing Party that the releases described under Article XII are to be effective as a bar to any and all Claims and Causes of Action of whatsoever character, nature and kind, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected specified in this Indenture. In furtherance of this intention, each Holder (in its capacity as a holder of the Notes) and each Company Releasing Party hereto expressly waives any and all rights and benefits conferred upon them by the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code or similar provisions of applicable law, which are as follows:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”

Each Holder (in its capacity as a holder of the Notes), and each Company Releasing Party acknowledges that the foregoing waiver of the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code was bargained for separately. Thus, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of the Released Parties, each Holder (in its capacity as a holder of the Notes) and each Company Releasing Party expressly acknowledges that this Indenture is intended to include in its effect all of the Claims, Causes of Action and liabilities which the Releasing Parties and each Holder (in its capacity as a holder of the Notes) does not know or suspect to exist in their favor as of the Effective Date, and this Indenture contemplates extinguishment of all such Claims, Causes of Action and liabilities.

SECTION 12.5. Covenant to Refrain from Certain Actions. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS INDENTURE, FROM AND AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE, EACH OF THE RELEASING PARTIES HEREBY AGREES AND COVENANTS NOT TO, AND SHALL NOT, AND SHALL NOT ASSIST OR OTHERWISE AID ANY OTHER PERSON TO, (A) COMMENCE OR CONTINUE, IN ANY MANNER OR IN ANY PLACE, ANY SUIT, ACTION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING; (B) ENFORCE, ATTACH, COLLECT, OR RECOVER IN ANY MANNER ANY JUDGMENT, AWARD, DECREE, OR ORDER; (C) CREATE, PERFECT, OR ENFORCE ANY LIEN OR ENCUMBRANCE; (D) ASSERT A SETOFF, RIGHT OF SUBROGATION, OR RECOUPMENT OF ANY KIND; (E) COMMENCE OR CONTINUE IN ANY MANNER ANY ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND, OR (F) ASSIGN, TRANSFER, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSE OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION, IN EACH CASE, ON ACCOUNT OF OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY RELEASED CLAIM OR ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION THAT WILL BE A RELEASED CLAIM ON THE EFFECTIVE DATE. NOTHING IN THIS INDENTURE SHALL OR BE DEEMED TO

177

(OR IS INTENDED TO) LIMIT ANY OF THE STAKEHOLDER RELEASING PARTIES’ RIGHTS, OR THE COMPANY RELEASING PARTIES’ RIGHTS, AS APPLICABLE, TO ASSERT OR PROSECUTE ANY AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSES OR OTHERWISE RAISE ANY DEFENSE OR TAKE ANY ACTION TO DEFEND ITSELF OR THEMSELVES, INCLUDING ANY DEFENSE AVAILABLE UNDER THE BANKRUPTCY CODE, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER DIRECT OR INDIRECT) BROUGHT BY ANY PERSON RELATING TO ANY OF THE CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING FROM, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, THE RELEASED CLAIMS OR (X) THE FORMULATION, PREPARATION, DISSEMINATION, NEGOTIATION, OR FILING OF THIS INDENTURE, THE DEFINITIVE DOCUMENTS, OR ANY RECAPITALIZATION TRANSACTION, CONTRACT, INSTRUMENT, RELEASE, OR OTHER AGREEMENT OR DOCUMENT CREATED OR ENTERED INTO IN CONNECTION WITH THIS INDENTURE OR THE DEFINITIVE DOCUMENTS, AND (Y) THE PURSUIT OF CONSUMMATION, THE ADMINISTRATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RECAPITALIZATION TRANSACTIONS, INCLUDING THE ISSUANCE OR DISTRIBUTION OF SECURITIES IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.

SECTION 12.6. Turnover of Subsequently Recovered Assets. Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, in the event that the Trustee, the Issuers, Subsidiary Guarantors or any Releasing Party (including any successor or assignee thereof) receives any funds, property, or value on account of any Claims, Causes of Action, or litigation against Parent or the MYT Entities (or any direct or indirect parent company of such entities) arising from the MyTheresa Designation or the MyTheresa Distribution (collectively, the “Specified Claims”), the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent, the Issuers, Subsidiary Guarantors or such Releasing Party shall promptly turn over and assign any such funds, property, or value (including any Equity Securities in any of the MYT Entities or proceeds of such Equity Securities, or any increased recoveries resulting therefrom) to, at the election of Parent, Parent or the applicable MYT Entity.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture (but subject to the immediately following paragraph below), Parent shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this paragraph on behalf of Parent or any MYT Entity. The Releasing Parties, the Issuers and Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent will be bound by the provisions set forth under this Section 12.6 notwithstanding the nature of any Claim, Cause of Action, or litigation relating to the Recapitalization Transactions or any judgment or order entered on any such Claim, Cause of Action or litigation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, (i) the immediately foregoing paragraph will only apply to the Stakeholder Releasing Parties in their capacities as Holders with respect to Notes that they hold, the Trustee in its capacity as Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent in its capacity as Notes Collateral Agent and each of the Company Releasing Parties in their capacities as Issuers or Subsidiary Guarantors, and will not, for the avoidance of doubt, apply to any Releasing Party in its capacity as a provider of debtor in possession or any similar financing and

178

(ii) to the extent a Releasing Party receives consideration on account of a Claim secured by assets or property of any Company Party or its subsidiaries (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Specified Claims or any such assets or property contributed to or otherwise obtained by any Company Party or its subsidiaries on account of the Specified Claims), such consideration will not be subject to the immediately foregoing paragraph.
