Article I
RELATION TO BASE INDENTURE; DEFINITIONS
Section 1.01Relation to Base Indenture. The changes, modifications and supplements to the Base Indenture effected by this Eighth Supplemental Indenture shall be applicable only with respect to, and shall only govern the terms of, the Notes, which may be issued from time to time, and shall not apply to any other Securities that may be issued under the Base Indenture unless a supplemental indenture with respect to such other Securities specifically incorporates such changes, modifications and supplements. The provisions of this Eighth Supplemental Indenture shall supersede any corresponding or conflicting provisions and definitions in the Base Indenture.
Section 1.02Definitions. For all purposes of this Eighth Supplemental Indenture, except as otherwise expressly provided for or unless the context otherwise requires:
(a)Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Base Indenture and the Seventh Supplemental Indenture;
(b)Terms defined in more than one of the Base Indenture and the Seventh Supplemental Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them, in order of priority, the Seventh Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture;
(c)Terms defined herein and in any of the Base Indenture or the Seventh Supplemental Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them herein;
(d)All references herein to Articles and Sections, unless otherwise specified, refer to the corresponding Articles and Sections of this Eighth Supplemental Indenture; and
(e)All other terms used in this Eighth Supplemental Indenture, which are defined in the Trust Indenture Act or which are by reference therein defined in the Securities Act (except as herein otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires) shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in said Trust Indenture Act and in said Securities Act as in force at the date of the execution of this Eighth Supplemental Indenture. The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Eighth Supplemental Indenture as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision. The terms defined in this Article include the plural as well as the singular.
2
(a)Subject to this Article II, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees on an unsecured, unsubordinated basis, to each Holder of a Note, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Eighth Supplemental Indenture, the Seventh Supplemental Indenture or the Base Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:
(i)the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and
(ii)in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.
Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for any reason whatsoever, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.
(b)The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Eighth Supplemental Indenture, the Seventh Supplemental Indenture, or the Base Indenture, the Notes, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of such Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and the Indenture.
(c)If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.
3
(d)Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations under the Notes guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article V of the Seventh Supplemental Indenture for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article V of the Seventh Supplemental Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of this Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any other guarantor of the Notes, or the Company, as the case may be, so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under this Guarantee.
Section 2.02Limitation on Guarantors’ Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of the Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor of the Notes not constitute a fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent obligation for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee of the Notes. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount that shall, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contributions from or payments made by or on behalf of any other guarantor of the Notes in respect of the obligations of such other guarantors of the Notes that are relevant under such laws, result in the obligations of such guarantor of the Notes under its Guarantee of the Notes not constituting a fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent obligation.
Section 2.03Execution and Delivery of Guarantees.
(a)To evidence its Guarantee as set forth in Section 2.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Eighth Supplemental Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its authorized officers or attorneys-in-fact.
(b)Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 2.01 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee.
Section 2.04Contribution. Each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under its Guarantee of the Notes shall be entitled to contribution from any other guarantor of the Notes or the Company, as the case may be.
(a)The Guarantee of the Notes by a Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released, and any Person acquiring assets (including by way of merger or
4
consolidation) or Capital Stock of a Guarantor shall not be required to assume the obligations of any such Guarantor:
(1)in connection with any sale, exchange, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of (whether by merger, consolidation or the sale of) a majority of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor (or such lesser portion as is sufficient for such Guarantor to cease to be a Subsidiary of the Company) or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor, to or with and into a Person which is not the Company or another Subsidiary of the Company;
(2)if any Guarantor is dissolved or otherwise no longer obligated to provide a Guarantee of the Notes pursuant to the Indenture;
(3)if such Guarantor’s guarantee of any obligations under any Debt Facility of the Company (including the Credit Agreement) with an aggregate principal or committed amount of $250 million or more is fully and unconditionally released, except that such Guarantor shall subsequently be required to become a Guarantor by executing a supplemental indenture and providing the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as required by the Indenture at such time as it guarantees any obligations under any Debt Facility of the Company (including the Credit Agreement) with an aggregate principal or committed amount of $250 million or more; or
(4)upon the Company’s exercise of its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option as described in Section 12.02 or Section 12.03 of the Seventh Supplemental Indenture or if the Company’s obligations under the Indenture and the Notes are discharged in accordance with Section 12.01 of the Seventh Supplemental Indenture.
(b)The Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably requested by either the Company or a Guarantor in order to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee under this Article II, subject to the Trustee’s receipt of an Opinion of Counsel and Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent to such release have been met.
