If since the beginning of the Four Quarter Period any Restricted Subsidiary is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary, then the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Four Quarter Period.

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any pro forma event, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuer.

(2) notwithstanding clause (1) of this paragraph, interest on Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis, to the extent such interest is covered by agreements relating to Hedging Obligations, shall be deemed to accrue at the rate per annum resulting after giving effect to the operation of such agreements.

period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date, Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the case may be.

SECTION 1.14. No Personal Liability of Directors, Managers, Officers, Employees and Stockholders. No director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Issuer or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under the Notes, this Indenture or the Security Documents or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

SECTION 1.15. Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be original, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. One signed copy is enough to prove this Indenture. The exchange of copies of this Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or PDF transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Indenture for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or PDF shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

SECTION 1.16. USA PATRIOT Act. The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act, each of the Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account. The Issuer agrees that it will provide the Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent with information about the Issuer and the Guarantors as the Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order for the Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent to satisfy the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act.

SECTION 1.17. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE ISSUER, EACH GUARANTOR, THE TRUSTEE, THE NOTES COLLATERAL AGENT AND EACH HOLDER OF A NOTE, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE THEREOF, HEREBY AND THEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

SECTION 1.18. Force Majeure. In no event shall the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, pandemics, epidemics, recognized public emergencies, quarantine restrictions, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services, and hacking, cyber-attacks, or other use of infiltration of the Trustee or Collateral Agent’s technological infrastructure exceeding authorized access; it being understood that the Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall use reasonable efforts that are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

SECTION 1.19. Limited Condition Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in connection with any action required to be taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of: (i) calculating the Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio, the Consolidated Total Debt Ratio, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and other financial calculations; (ii) determining compliance with Defaults or Events of Default; or (iii) testing availability under covenant baskets set forth in this Indenture (including covenant baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated Total Assets), in each case, at the option of the Issuer (the Issuer’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination shall be deemed to be (a) the date the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into or (b) in the case of sales in connection with an acquisition to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers applies (or similar law or practice in other jurisdictions), the date on which a “Rule 2.7 announcement” of a firm intent to make an offer or similar announcement or determination in another jurisdiction subject to laws similar to the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the applicable date determined pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the

-35-

other transactions required to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent test period ending prior to the LCT Test Date, the Issuer could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket, such ratio, test or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with; provided that availability under any ratio and the determination of whether the relevant condition is satisfied may in any event be recalculated, at the option of the Issuer, on the closing date of the Limited Condition Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Issuer has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Issuer or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If the Issuer has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any calculation of any ratio, test or basket availability with respect to any transaction required to be entered into in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining whether any such required transaction is permitted under this Indenture, any such ratio, test or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated. If the Issuer has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any calculation of any other ratio, test or basket availability with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, the making of Restricted Payments (subject to the proviso at the end of this sentence), the making of any Permitted Investment, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer, the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction of Indebtedness, or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, in each case, not required to be entered into in connection with the applicable Limited Condition Transaction (a “Subsequent Transaction”) following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (x) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (y) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction (or the date on which the Issuer demonstrates to the Trustee that it has elected not to pursue such Limited Condition Transaction), for purposes of determining whether such Subsequent Transaction is permitted under this Indenture, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required to be satisfied on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions required to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated; provided that in the case of Restricted Payments (other than Investments) such ratio tests and baskets will be tested both as if such transaction had been consummated and as if such transaction had not been consummated. The Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever to determine whether the Issuer is in compliance with this Section or whether a Limited Condition Transaction or an LCT Election has occurred.

SECTION 1.20. Trust Indenture Act. This Indenture is not qualified under the TIA nor subject to the terms of the TIA (including, without limitation, TIA §§ 314 and 316(b), which, notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Indenture, are inapplicable to this Indenture in every respect); provided, however, that, solely to the extent that this Indenture expressly refers to a provision of the TIA in order to incorporate certain obligations of the Trustee or the Holders set forth therein into this Indenture, such provision is made a part of this Indenture.

The Initial Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 to the Appendix which is hereby incorporated in, and expressly made a part of, this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Issuer is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form reasonably acceptable to the Issuer). The terms of the Note set forth in the Appendix are part of the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 2.02. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by at least one Officer of the Issuer. The signature of any Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such authorized officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Notes.

Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of an individual who was at any time the proper Officer of the Issuer shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individual has ceased to hold such office prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such office at the date of such Notes.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Notes executed by the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication, together with an Issuer’s Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee in accordance with such Issuer’s Order shall authenticate and deliver such Notes.

On the Issue Date, the Issuer shall deliver the Initial Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000 executed by the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication, together with an Issuer’s Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, specifying the principal amount and registered holder of each Note, directing the Trustee to authenticate the Notes and deliver the same to the persons named in such Issuer’s Order, and the Trustee in accordance with such Issuer’s Order shall authenticate and deliver such Initial Notes. At any time and from time to time after the Issue Date, the Issuer may deliver Additional Notes executed by the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication, together with an Issuer’s Order for the authentication and delivery of such Additional Notes, specifying the principal amount of and registered holder of each Note, directing the Trustee to authenticate the Additional Notes and deliver the same to the Persons named in such Issuer’s Order and certifying that the issuance of such Additional Notes is in compliance with Sections 3.13, 10.11 and 10.12 of this Indenture and the Trustee in accordance with such Issuer’s Order shall authenticate and deliver such Additional Notes. In each case, the Trustee shall receive an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel of the Issuer as to the issuance, authentication and delivery of the Notes; provided that no Opinion of Counsel under Section 1.03 shall be required in connection with the authentication of the Initial Notes. Such Issuer’s Order shall specify the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated.

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

In the event the Issuer or any Guarantor, pursuant to Article Eight of this Indenture, shall be merged, consolidated or amalgamated with or into, consummate a Division as the Dividing Person or wind up into any other Person or shall sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in the case of the Issuer, or all or substantially all of the properties or assets of such Guarantor, in the case of a Guarantor, to any Person, and the successor Person or Division Successor, as applicable (other than the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable), formed by or surviving

-37-

If Notes shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person or Division Successor, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.02 in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Notes, such successor Person or Division Successor, as applicable, at the option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Notes at the time Outstanding for Notes authenticated and delivered in such new name.

ARTICLE Three

THE NOTES

SECTION 3.01. Title and Terms. The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and issued under this Indenture is not limited; provided that any Additional Notes issued under this Indenture are issued in accordance with Sections 2.02, 3.13, 10.11 and 10.12 hereof, as part of the same series as the Initial Notes.

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

The Notes shall be known and designated as the “9.250% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2031” of the Issuer. The Stated Maturity of the principal of the Notes shall be October 1, 2031, and the Notes shall bear interest at the rate of 9.250% per annum from the Issue Date, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, initially payable on April 1, 2025 and semi-annually thereafter in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, until the principal thereof is paid or duly provided for and to the Person in whose name the Note (or any Predecessor Note) is registered at the close of business (if applicable) on the March 15 and September 15 (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date (each, a “Regular Record Date”).

The principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of the Paying Agent maintained for such purpose as set forth in Section 3.02, or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their respective addresses set forth in the Note Register of Holders or by wire transfer; provided that all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to Notes represented by one or more Global Notes registered in the name of or held by the Depository or its nominee will be made in accordance with the Depository’s applicable procedures.

SECTION 3.02. Note Registrar, Transfer Agent and Paying Agent. The Issuer shall maintain one or more Paying Agents for the Notes. The Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as the initial Paying Agent.

The Issuer shall be responsible for making calculations called for under the Notes, including, but not limited to, the determination of the Redemption Price, the Applicable Premium or other amounts payable on the Notes. The Issuer will make the calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding on the Holders. The Issuer will provide a schedule of its calculations to the Trustee when requested by the Trustee, and the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of the Issuer’s calculations without independent verification. The Trustee shall (at the Issuer’s expense) forward the Issuer’s calculations to any Holder upon the written request of such Xxxxxx.

-38-

The Issuer will also maintain a registrar (the “Note Registrar”) and a transfer agent (each, a “Transfer Agent”). The Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee as the initial Note Registrar and Transfer Agent. The Note Registrar and the Transfer Agent shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange (the register maintained in such office or in any other office or agency designated pursuant to Section 10.02 being herein referred to as the “Note Register”) and will facilitate transfer of Notes on behalf of the Issuer. The Note Register shall be in written form or any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times, the Note Register shall be open to inspection by the Trustee. The Issuer may change the Paying Agents, the Note Registrars or the Transfer Agents without prior notice to the Holders. The Issuer may have one or more co‑registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Note Registrar” includes any co‑registrars. For the avoidance of doubt, there shall only be one Note Register, which shall be maintained in the United States and be open to inspection by the Issuer at any time.

The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Note Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any such agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Note Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 6.07. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Note Registrar.

The Issuer acknowledges that none of the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Agent makes any representations as to the interpretation or characterization of the transactions herein undertaken for tax or any other purpose, in any jurisdiction.

SECTION 3.03. Denominations. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

SECTION 3.04. Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of definitive Notes, the Issuer may execute, and upon Issuer’s Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the Officer executing such Notes may determine, as conclusively evidenced by its execution of such Notes.

If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer will cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 10.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes.

SECTION 3.05. Registration of Transfer and Exchange. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer designated pursuant to Section 10.02, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount.

At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

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

-39-

Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Note Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by written instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Note Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of Notes, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any taxes, fees or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.02, 3.04, 9.06, 10.16, 10.17 or 11.09 not involving any transfer.

SECTION 3.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. If (1) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or (2) the Issuer and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and there is delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee such security or indemnity to save each of them harmless from any claim, loss, cost or liability resulting from such lost or stolen Note, then, in the absence of written notice to the Issuer or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a Protected Purchaser (as defined in Section 8‑303 of the Uniform Commercial Code) (a “Protected Purchaser”), the Issuer shall execute and upon an Issuer’s Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Note or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in their discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 3.06, the Issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 3.06 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer and each Guarantor, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 3.06 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

SECTION 3.07. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

(a) Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business (if applicable) on the Regular Record Date for such interest at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 10.02; provided that, subject to Section 3.01 hereof, each installment of interest may at the Issuer’s option be paid by (1) mailing a check for such interest, payable to or upon the written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 3.08, to the address of such Person as it appears in the Note Register or (2) wire transfer to an account in the United States maintained by the payee; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds shall be required with respect to principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, all Notes in global form and all other Notes the Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer and the Paying Agent; provided that for Notes not in global form the Paying Agent shall have received from the Holders satisfactory wire transfer instructions at least ten calendar days prior to the related payment date and subject to surrender of the Note in the case of payments of principal and premium, if any.

(b) Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall 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”) may be paid by the Issuer, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

-40-

(1) the Issuer 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 for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Issuer shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than ten days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than ten days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of such Special Record Date, and shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given in the manner provided for in Section 1.07 (with a copy to the Trustee), not less than ten days prior to such Special Record Date. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the Defaulted Interest, or with respect to the nature, extent, or calculation of the amount of Defaulted Interest owed, or with respect to the method employed in such calculation of the Defaulted Interest. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid 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 shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2); or

(2) the Issuer 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 written notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

(c) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.07, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

SECTION 3.08. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to the due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, any Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 3.05 and 3.07) interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Issuer, any Guarantor, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 3.09. Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Issuer has not issued and sold, and all Notes so delivered shall be cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures. If the Issuer shall so acquire any of the Notes, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section 3.09, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures.

SECTION 3.10. Computation of Interest. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360‑day year of twelve 30‑day months.

-41-

SECTION 3.11. Transfer and Exchange. The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer in such a manner so that the Notes remain in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. When a Note is presented to the Note Registrar or a co‑registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Note Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of this Indenture and Section 8‑401(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code are met. When Notes are presented to the Note Registrar or a co‑registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations, the Note Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met.

The Trustee shall 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 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. Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any actions taken or not taken by the Depository.

SECTION 3.12. CUSIP, ISIN and Common Code Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (in each case, if then generally in use) in addition to serial numbers, and, if so, the Trustee shall use such CUSIP, ISIN and “Common Code” numbers in addition to serial numbers in notices of redemption, repurchase or other notices to Holders as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such CUSIP, ISIN and “Common Code” numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption or repurchase and that reliance may be placed only on the serial or other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or repurchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP, ISIN and “Common Code” numbers applicable to the Notes.

SECTION 3.13. Issuance of Additional Notes. The Issuer may, subject to Sections 2.02, 10.11 and 10.12 of this Indenture, issue additional Notes having substantially identical terms and conditions to the Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date (the “Additional Notes”), except, if applicable, the initial Interest Payment Date, the initial issue price and the initial interest accrual date. The Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes subsequently issued shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; provided, that a separate CUSIP or ISIN will be issued for the Additional Notes, unless the Initial Notes and the Additional Notes are treated as fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

SECTION 4.01. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture (including all obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees) shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all Outstanding Notes (except as to surviving rights or registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture), and Liens on the Collateral securing the obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees shall automatically be released and terminated, and the Trustee, at the request and expense of the Issuer, shall execute such instruments reasonably requested by the Issuer acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when:

(1) either

(a) all the Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06 and (ii) Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust with the Trustee or any Paying Agent or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 10.03) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

-42-

(b) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the giving of an irrevocable notice of redemption or otherwise, will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of an irrevocable notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer, and the Issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee, as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities or a combination thereof in such amounts (including scheduled payments thereon) as will be sufficient (without consideration of any reinvestment of interest) to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Notes to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be, together with irrevocable instructions from the Issuer directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; provided that, with respect to any redemption pursuant to Section 11.01 that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the Redemption Price deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that the Redemption Price so deposited with the Trustee is calculated using an amount equal to the Applicable Premium computed using the Treasury Rate as of the second Business Day preceding the date of such deposit with the Trustee;

(2) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable under this Indenture by the Issuer; and

(3) the Issuer, upon request for written acknowledgment of such satisfaction and discharge, has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. Such Opinion of Counsel may rely on such Officer’s Certificate as to matters of fact, including clauses (2)(a), (b), (c) and (d) above.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Issuer to the Trustee under Section 6.07, the obligations of the Issuer to any Authenticating Agent under Section 6.12 and, if money or Government Securities shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (a) of clause (2) of this Section 4.01, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.02 and Section 10.03(f) shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

SECTION 4.02. Application of Trust Money. Subject to Section 10.03(f), all money or Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money or Government Securities has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money or Government Securities need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Securities deposited pursuant to this Section 4.02 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the Outstanding Notes. The Trustee shall also deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon an Issuer’s Request any money or Government Securities held by it 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 an equivalent satisfaction and discharge, as applicable, in accordance with Article Four. The indemnity provided in this paragraph shall survive satisfaction and discharge of the Notes and this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 4.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred

-43-

pursuant to Section 4.01 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 4.01; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

(1) the failure to pay interest on any Notes when the same becomes due and payable and the default continues for a period of 30 days;

(2) the failure to pay the principal on any Notes, when such principal becomes due and payable, at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise (including the failure to make a payment to purchase Notes tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or a Net Proceeds Offer) on the date specified for such payment in the applicable offer to purchase;

(3) a default in the observance or performance of any other covenants or agreements which default continues for a period of 60 days after the Issuer receives written notice specifying the default (and demanding that such default be remedied) from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes; provided that in the case of a failure to comply with Section 10.09, such period of continuance of such default or breach shall be 180 days after written notice described in this Section 5.01(3) has been given;

(4) the failure to pay at final stated maturity (giving effect to any applicable grace periods and any extensions thereof) the principal amount of any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, or the acceleration of the final stated maturity of any such Indebtedness if the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at final stated maturity or which has been accelerated aggregates $30.0 million or more at any time;

(5) (5) one or more judgments in an aggregate amount in excess of $30.0 million (excluding amounts covered by an unaffiliated insurer that had not denied coverage) shall have been rendered against the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries and such judgments remain undischarged, unpaid or unstayed for a period of 60 days after such judgment or judgments become final and non-appealable;

(6) any of the following events with respect to the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary:

(a) the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(i) commences proceedings to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent;

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

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

(ii) appoints a custodian of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of its property; or

(8) unless all the Collateral has been released from the Liens in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, any security interest created by any Security Document individually or in the aggregate, having a fair market value in excess of $15.0 million, ceases to be in full force and effect (except as permitted by the terms of this Indenture) or the Issuer shall assert or any Guarantor shall assert, in any pleading in a court of competent jurisdiction, that any such security interest is invalid or unenforceable and, in the case of any such Guarantor that is a Subsidiary of the Issuer, the Issuer fails to cause such Subsidiary to rescind such assertions within 30 days after the Issuer has actual knowledge of such assertions; or

(9) the failure of the Issuer or any Guarantor to comply for 60 days after notice with its other agreements contained in the Security Documents, except for a failure that would not be material to the Holders of the Notes and would not materially affect the value of the Collateral taken as a whole.

SECTION 5.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

(a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(6) above with respect to the Issuer) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may declare the principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Outstanding Notes to be immediately due and payable by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders).

(b) Upon the effectiveness of a declaration under Section 5.02(a), such principal and interest will be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(6) above with respect to the Issuer occurs and is continuing, then the principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Outstanding Notes will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

(c) At any time after a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article Five, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, so long as such rescission and annulment would not conflict with any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, if.

-45-

(1) the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

(A) all overdue interest on all Outstanding Notes;

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

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

(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent hereunder or under any Security Document and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of each of the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel; and

(2) Events of Default, other than the non-payment of amounts of principal of (or premium, if any, on) or interest on Notes, which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13,

provided that no such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article Five, in the event of any Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(4), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, any resulting payment default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Notes) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose:

(1) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged; or

(2) the requisite holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default; or

(3) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured;

provided that no such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a notice of Default may not be given with respect to any action taken, and reported publicly or to Holders, more than two years prior to such notice of Default. In addition, any notice of Default, notice of acceleration or instruction to the Trustee to provide a notice of Default, notice of acceleration or take any other action (a “Noteholder Direction”) provided by any one or more Holders (other than a Regulated Bank) (each a “Directing Holder”) must be accompanied by a written representation from each such Holder delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee that such Holder is not (or, in the case such Holder is DTC or its nominee, that such Holder is being instructed solely by beneficial owners that are not) Net Short (a “Position Representation”), which representation, in the case of a Noteholder Direction relating to the delivery of a notice of Default shall be deemed a continuing representation until the resulting Event of Default is cured or otherwise ceases to exist or the Notes are accelerated. In addition, each Directing Holder is deemed, at the time of providing a Noteholder Direction, to covenant to provide the Issuer with such other information as the Issuer may reasonably request from time to time in order to verify the accuracy of such Xxxxxx’s Position Representation within five Business Days of request therefor (a “Verification Covenant”). In any case in which the Holder is DTC or its nominee, any Position Representation or Verification Covenant required hereunder shall be provided by the beneficial owner of the Notes in lieu of DTC or its nominee, and DTC shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Position Representation and Verification Covenant in delivering its direction to the Trustee.

-46-

(f) If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Issuer determines in good faith that there is a reasonable basis to believe a Directing Holder was, at any relevant time, in breach of its Position Representation and provides to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Issuer has initiated litigation (“Litigation”) in a court of competent jurisdiction seeking a determination that such Directing Holder was, at such time, in breach of its Position Representation, and seeking to invalidate any Event of Default or acceleration (or notice thereof) that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to such Event of Default shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending a final and non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction on such matter (a “Final Decision”). Once such Officer’s Certificate has been provided to the Trustee, the Trustee shall take no further action pursuant to the related Noteholder Direction until it has actual knowledge of a Final Decision. If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Issuer provides to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that a Directing Holder failed to satisfy its Verification Covenant (a “Verification Covenant Officer’s Certificate”), the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending satisfaction of such Verification Covenant, and the Trustee shall take no further action pursuant to the related Noteholder Direction until the Issuer provides a subsequent Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee that such Verification Covenant has been satisfied (a “Covenant Satisfaction Officer’s Certificate”). The Issuer shall promptly deliver a Covenant Satisfaction Officer’s Certificate following satisfaction by the applicable Directing Holder of its Verification Covenant. Any breach of the Position Representation shall result in such Holder’s participation in such Noteholder Direction being disregarded; and, if, without the participation of such Holder, the percentage of Notes held by the remaining Holders that provided such Noteholder Direction would have been insufficient to validly provide such Noteholder Direction, such Noteholder Direction shall be void ab initio, with the effect that such Event of Default shall be deemed never to have occurred, acceleration voided and the Trustee shall be deemed not to have received such Noteholder Direction or any notice of such Default or Event of Default; provided, however, this shall not invalidate any indemnity or security provided by the Directing Holders to the Trustee which obligations shall continue to survive.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in the preceding two paragraphs to the contrary, any Noteholder Direction delivered to the Trustee during the pendency of an Event of Default as the result of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall not require compliance with the foregoing paragraphs. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing paragraphs shall not apply to any Holder that is a Regulated Bank or an initial purchaser of the Notes.

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any Noteholder Direction delivered to it in accordance with this Indenture, shall have no duty to inquire as to or investigate the accuracy of any Position Representation, enforce compliance with any Verification Covenant, verify any statements in any Officer’s Certificate delivered to it, or otherwise make calculations, investigations or determinations with respect to Derivative Instruments, Net Shorts, Long Derivative Instruments, Short Derivative Instruments or otherwise. The Trustee shall have no liability for ceasing to take any action, staying any remedy or otherwise failing to act in accordance with a Noteholder Direction during the pendency of a Litigation or a Noteholder Direction after a Verification Covenant Officer’s Certificate has been provided to it but prior to receipt of a Covenant Satisfaction Officer’s Certificate. The Trustee shall have no liability to the Issuer, any Holder or any other Person in acting in good faith on a Noteholder Direction or to determine whether or not any Holder has delivered a Position Representation or that such Position Representation conforms with this Indenture or any other agreement.

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

(j) The Issuer agrees to waive any and all claims, in law and/or in equity, against the Trustee, and agrees not to commence any legal proceeding against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee will not

-47-

be liable for any action that the Trustee takes in accordance with this Article Five, or arising out of or in connection with following instructions or taking actions in accordance with a Special Noteholder Direction.

(k) For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee will treat all Holders equally with respect to their rights under this Article Five. In connection with the requisite percentages required under this Article Five, the Trustee shall also treat all Outstanding Notes equally irrespective of any Position Representation in determining whether the requisite percentage has been obtained with respect to the initial delivery of the Noteholder Direction. The Issuer hereby confirms that any and all other actions that the Trustee takes or omits to take under this Section and all fees, costs and expenses of the Trustee and its agents and counsel arising hereunder and in connection herewith shall be covered by the Issuer’s indemnifications under this Indenture.

SECTION 5.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The Issuer covenants that if:

(1) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Note when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

(2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Note at the Maturity thereof,

the Issuer will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, and interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installment of interest, at the rate borne by the Notes, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

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

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders under this Indenture and the Guarantees by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem necessary to protect and enforce any such rights, including seeking recourse against any Guarantor, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy, including seeking recourse against any Guarantor.

SECTION 5.04. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Issuer or any other obligor including any Guarantor, upon the Notes or the property of the Issuer or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Issuer for the payment of overdue principal, premium, if any, or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(1) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such 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, the Notes Collateral Agent and their agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

-48-

(2) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent and their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent under Sections 6.07 and 13.07(z).

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. The Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ committee or other similar committee.

SECTION 5.05. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

SECTION 5.06. Application of Money Collected. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, any money or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money or property on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent and each of their respective agents and attorneys (including any predecessor Trustee) under the Note Documents;

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, respectively; and

THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Issuer or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct in writing; provided that all sums due and owing to the Holders, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent have been paid in full as required by this Indenture.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 5.06.

SECTION 5.07. Limitation on Suits. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest when due, no Holder shall pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes, unless:

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

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

-49-

(3) Holders have offered and, if requested, provided to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

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

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

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders (it being further understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders). The limitations of this Section 5.07 do not apply, however, to a suit instituted by a Holder for the enforcement of payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Note on or after the respective Stated Maturity in such Note.

SECTION 5.08. Right of Holders to Bring Suit for Payment. Subject to Sections 10.16(h) and 10.17(g), the right of any Holder of any outstanding Note to bring suit for the enforcement of any payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Note, on or after the respective Maturity expressed in such Note (including in connection with a Net Proceeds Offer or a Change of Control Offer), shall not be amended without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 5.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture or the Guarantees and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Issuer, any Guarantor, any other obligor of the Notes, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in the last paragraph of Section 3.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 5.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article Five or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

SECTION 5.12. Control by Holders. Subject to Section 6.03(6), the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the total Outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent. The Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, 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 or would involve the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, in personal liability. Each of the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, which is not inconsistent with such direction.

-50-

SECTION 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults. 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 the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture and the Security Documents (except (1) a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, premium, if any, or the principal of any such Note held by a non‑consenting Holder or (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof or in any Guarantee which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected, which shall require the consent of all Holders of the Notes) and rescind any acceleration and its consequences with respect to the Notes; provided such rescission would not conflict with any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 5.14. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. Each of the Issuer, the Guarantors and any other obligor on the Notes covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and each of the Issuer, the Guarantors and any other obligor on the Notes (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not 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 had been enacted.

SECTION 5.15. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent for any action taken or omitted by the Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent, as the case may be, 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 5.15 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder relating to right to payment hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes.

ARTICLE Six

THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 6.01. Duties of the Trustee.

Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, a copy of which shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and a copy to the successor Trustee. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.10 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Issuer, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, delivered to the Trustee and to the Issuer 30 days prior to the removal’s effectiveness.

If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Issuer or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, the Trustee (at the expense of the Issuer) or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a

-55-

Note for at least six months may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts.

(b) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be eligible under this Article Six.

SECTION 6.11. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder; provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Article Six, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes. In case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee. In all such cases such certificates shall have the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee shall have; provided that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

SECTION 6.12. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. At any time when any of the Notes remain Outstanding, the Trustee may appoint one or more agents (each an “Authenticating Agent”) with respect to the Notes which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Notes and the Trustee shall give written notice of such appointment to all Holders of Notes with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, in the manner provided for in Section 1.07. Notes so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by an authorized signatory of the Trustee, and a copy of such instrument shall be promptly furnished to the Issuer. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Notes by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be reasonably acceptable to the Issuer.

Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent; provided such

-56-

corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section 6.12, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Issuer. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Issuer. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.12, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Issuer and shall give written notice of such appointment to all Holders of Notes, in the manner provided for in Section 1.07. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 6.12.

The Issuer agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time such compensation for its services under this Section 6.12 as shall be agreed in writing between the Issuer and such Authenticating Agent.

If an appointment is made pursuant to this Section 6.12, the Notes may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form:

-57-

not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral.

The Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Indenture or the Security Documents by the Issuer, any Guarantor or the First Lien Agent.

-60-

manner and to the extent required in this Indenture or any of the Security Documents and shall take all reasonably necessary action so that such Lien is perfected to the extent required by the Security Documents; and

(5) the Collateral owned by or transferred to such entity shall (x) continue to constitute Collateral under this Indenture and the Security Documents, (y) be subject to the Lien in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and (z) not be subject to any Lien other than Permitted Collateral Liens.

For all purposes under this Indenture, in connection with any Division, (x) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (y) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Capital Stock at such time.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.03 of this Indenture and so long as no supplemental indenture is required pursuant to this Section 8.02, no Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the merger, consolidation, amalgamation or winding up of a Guarantor in accordance with this Section 8.02.

SECTION 8.03. Successor Substituted. Upon any merger, consolidation or amalgamation, Division as the Dividing Person or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer or any Guarantor in accordance with Sections 8.01 and 8.02 hereof, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, is merged or the successor Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition is made, shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, under this Indenture or the Guarantees, as the case may be, with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, herein or the Guarantees, as the case may be. When a successor Person assumes all obligations of its predecessor hereunder, the Notes or the Guarantees, as the case may be, such predecessor shall be released from all obligations; provided that in the event of a transfer or lease, the predecessor shall not be released from the payment of principal and interest or other obligations on the Notes or the Guarantees, as the case may be.

(1) that it will hold all sums received by it as Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Notes in trust for the benefit of the Holders or of the Trustee;

(2) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Issuer to make any payment of the principal of or interest on any Notes and any other payments to be made by or on behalf of the Issuer under this Indenture or the Notes when the same shall be due and payable; and

-65-

expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.

SECTION 10.06. After-Acquired Property.

(a) Promptly and in any event within thirty (30) days following the acquisition by the Issuer or any Guarantor of any After-Acquired Property or such longer period as permitted under the First Lien Credit Documents (but subject to the limitations, if applicable, described in Article Thirteen and the Security Documents), the Issuer or such Guarantor (as applicable) shall execute and deliver such security instruments, financing statements and certificates and opinions of counsel as shall be reasonably necessary to grant to the Notes Collateral Agent a perfected security interest in such After-Acquired Property and to have such After-Acquired Property added to the Collateral and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such After-Acquired Property to the same extent and with the same force and effect.

(b) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Issuer and each Guarantor agrees that, in the event it takes any action to grant or perfect a Lien to secure any First Lien Obligations in any assets, the Issuer or such Guarantor shall also take such action to grant or perfect a Lien in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent to secure the Notes Obligations without the request of the Notes Collateral Agent; provided that the Issuer and the Guarantors will not be required to enter into control agreements with respect to any deposit accounts, securities accounts or commodity accounts.

SECTION 10.07. Further Assurances.

in each case within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations (after giving effect to any grace period specified under Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act).

The Trustee shall have no responsibility to determine if the Issuer has made any such filings.

To the extent any information is not provided within the time periods specified in this Section 10.09 and such information is subsequently provided, the Issuer will be deemed to have satisfied its obligations with respect thereto at such time and any Default with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been cured.

(c) For purposes of determining any particular amount of Indebtedness under this Section 10.11, guarantees, Liens or letter of credit obligations supporting Indebtedness otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount shall not be included. For purposes of determining compliance with this this Section 10.11, in the event that all or a portion of an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (b)(1) through (b)(26) above or is permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 10.11(a), the Issuer shall, in its sole discretion, classify (or later reclassify) such item or portion of such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 10.11, except that Indebtedness outstanding under the ABL Credit Agreement on the Issue Date shall be deemed to have been incurred on the Issue Date under clause (2) above and may not be reclassified. Accrual of interest, accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the payment of dividends on Disqualified Capital Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Capital Stock and change in the amount outstanding due solely to the result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Capital Stock for purposes of this Section 10.11. Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this Section 10.11.

-74-

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. dollar equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt. However, if the Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and the refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of the refinancing, the U.S. dollar-denominated restriction will be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of the refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of the Indebtedness being refinanced.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries may incur pursuant to this Section 10.11 shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness, solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, will be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which the respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of the refinancing.

(f) A change in GAAP or in the application thereof that results in an obligation existing at the time of such change, not previously classified as Indebtedness, becoming Indebtedness, or that results in a liability for all or part of such obligation having to be recognized, will not be deemed to be an incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 10.11.

(g) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness which by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) is expressly subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) made expressly subordinate to the Notes or the applicable Guarantee, as the case may be, to the same extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be. For purposes of the foregoing, no Indebtedness will be deemed to be subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor solely by virtue of such Indebtedness being unsecured or by virtue of the fact that the holders of such Indebtedness have entered into one or more intercreditor agreements giving one or more of such holders priority over the other holders in the collateral held by them.

SECTION 10.12. Liens.

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or permit or suffer to exist any Lien that secures Obligations under any Indebtedness on any property or assets of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries unless:

(1) in the case of Liens on any Collateral, such Lien is a Permitted Collateral Lien; and

(2) in the case of a Lien on any asset or property other than Collateral, (i) the Notes and Guarantees, as the case may be, are equally and ratably secured with (or on a senior basis to, in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness) the Obligations secured by such Lien or (ii) such Lien is a Permitted Lien.

(b) Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to Section 10.12(a)(2)(i) shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Lien that gave rise to the obligation to so secure the Notes.

-75-

SECTION 10.13. Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or permit to exist any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any of its Affiliates (each an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, other than (x) Affiliate Transactions permitted under Section 10.13(b) and (y) Affiliate Transactions on terms, taken as a whole, that are not materially less favorable to the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that might reasonably have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (i) if any such Affiliate Transaction (or a series of related Affiliate Transactions which are similar or part of a common plan) involves aggregate payments or other property with a fair market value in excess of $15.0 million, the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 10.13 and (ii) if any such Affiliate Transaction (or a series of related Affiliate Transactions which are similar or part of a common plan) involves aggregate payments or other property with a fair market value in excess of $35.0 million, the Issuer delivers to the Trustee a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 10.13 and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer.

(b) The restrictions set forth in Section 10.13(a) shall not apply to:

(1) reasonable fees and compensation paid to, and indemnities and reimbursements and employment, consulting, severance and other compensatory, service or benefit related arrangements provided to or on behalf of, or for the benefit of, former, current or future officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, as determined in good faith by the Issuer’s Board of Directors or senior management;

(2) transactions exclusively between or among the Issuer and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or exclusively between or among such Restricted Subsidiaries; provided such transactions are not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture;

(3) (A) any agreement or arrangement as in effect as of the Issue Date (or transactions pursuant thereto) or (B) any amendment, modification or supplement to the agreements referenced in subclause (A) above or any replacement thereof, so long as the terms of such agreement or arrangement, as so amended, modified, supplemented or replaced, are not more disadvantageous to the Holders when taken as a whole in any material respect compared to the applicable agreements or arrangements as in effect on the Issue Date, as determined in good faith by the Issuer;

(4) Restricted Payments or Permitted Investments permitted by this Indenture;

(5) transactions between the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries and any Securitization Entity in connection with a Qualified Securitization Transaction, in each case provided that such transactions are not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture;

(6) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, contractors, joint venture partners or purchasers or sellers of goods or services that are Affiliates, in each case in the ordinary course of business or that are consistent with past practice and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture, which are fair to the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries or are on terms at least as favorable in all material respects as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party, in each case, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors of the Issuer or the senior management of the Issuer;

(7) payments to and from, and transactions with, any joint ventures entered into in the ordinary course of business or consistent with past practice (including, without limitation, any cash management activities related thereto); and

The Issuer shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer to:

(1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock;

(2) make loans or advances to the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or to pay any Indebtedness or other obligation owed to the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer; or

(l) customary provisions in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements (in each case relating solely to the respective joint venture or similar entity or the equity interests therein);

(n) any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (b) through (m) above; provided, however, that the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in any such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing are no less favorable to the Issuer in any material respect as determined by the Board of Directors of the Issuer in its reasonable and good faith judgment than the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in agreements referred to in such clauses (b) through (m) above.

SECTION 10.15. Limitation on Preferred Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries. The Issuer will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors to issue any Preferred Stock (other than to the Issuer or to a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer) or permit any Person (other than the Issuer or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer) to own any Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer that is not a Guarantor.

SECTION 10.16. Change of Control.

(a) If a Change of Control occurs after the Issue Date, unless, prior to, or concurrently with, the time the Issuer is required to make a Change of Control Offer, (x) the Issuer has previously or concurrently mailed or delivered, or otherwise sent through electronic transmission, a redemption notice (that is irrevocable or conditioned solely upon the Change of Control transaction) with respect to all the Outstanding Notes as described under Section 11.06 or (y) there has occurred a Covenant Defeasance or a Legal Defeasance pursuant to Article Fourteen or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Section 4.01, the Issuer shall make an offer to purchase all of the Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer will send notice of such Change of Control Offer electronically or by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee sent in the same manner, to each Holder to the address of such Holder appearing in the Note Register or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the Depository, with the following information:

(1) that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 10.16 and that all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer shall be accepted for payment by the Issuer;

(2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which (unless otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided below) will be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or transmitted electronically (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), except in the case of a conditional Change of Control Offer made in advance of a Change of Control pursuant to this Section 10.16(a);

-78-

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

(4) that, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date;

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

(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to require the Issuer to purchase such Notes; provided that the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the expiration time of the Change of Control Offer, an electronic transmission (in PDF), a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the Depository, the principal amount of the Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes purchased;

(7) that if less than all of such Holder’s Notes are tendered for purchase, such Holder will be issued new Notes and such new Notes will be equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered; provided that the unpurchased portion of the Notes must be equal to at least $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000;

(8) if such notice is sent prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control and describing each such condition, and, if applicable, stating that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the Change of Control Payment Date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the notice is mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or that such purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that the Issuer shall determine that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Change of Control Payment Date, or by the Change of Control Payment Date as so delayed; and

(9) such other instructions, as determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Section 10.16, that a Holder must follow.

(b) While the Notes are in global form and the Issuer makes an offer to purchase all of the Notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, a Holder may exercise its option to elect for the purchase of Notes through the facilities of the Depository, subject to its rules, regulations and procedures.

(c) The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 10.16, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 10.16 by virtue thereof.

(d) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer will, to the extent permitted by law:

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

-79-

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

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

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.16, the Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control (and the Change of Control Payment Date delayed until consummation of such Change of Control), if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer. If such a conditional Change of Control Offer is made, the Change of Control Payment Date may be delayed, in the Issuer’s sole discretion, until such time as such Change of Control shall have occurred, or if such Change of Control shall not have occurred by the applicable Change of Control Payment Date (whether the original Change of Control Payment Date or the Change of Control Payment Date so delayed), then such Change of Control Offer may be rescinded by the Issuer.

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

(h) The provisions of this Section 10.16 may be waived or modified at any time with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes.

SECTION 10.17. Asset Sales.

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(1) the Issuer or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of (as determined in good faith by the Issuer);

(2) at least 75% of the consideration received by the Issuer or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from such Asset Sale shall be in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this clause (2), each of the following shall be deemed to be cash:

(i) any liabilities (as reflected on the Issuer’s most recent internally available consolidated balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto, or if incurred, accrued or increased subsequent to the date of such balance sheet, such liabilities that would have been reflected on the Issuer’s consolidated balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto if such incurrence, accrual or increase had taken place on or prior to the date of such balance sheet, as determined by the Issuer) of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated

-80-

to the Notes or the Guarantees, that are assumed by the Person acquiring such assets (or are otherwise canceled, terminated or otherwise extinguished by the buyer in connection with the transactions relating to such Asset Sale) and as a result of which the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries no longer have any obligations with respect to such liabilities or are indemnified or released against further liabilities;

(ii) any securities, Notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received) within 180 days after receipt; and

(iii) any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by the Issuer or 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 (iii) that is at that time outstanding in the aggregate, not to exceed the greater of (x) $45.0 million and (y) 2.5% of the Issuer’s Consolidated Total Assets at the time of receipt of such Designated Non-Cash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-Cash Consideration measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value.

(3) [reserved]; and

(4) upon the consummation of an Asset Sale, the Issuer shall apply, or cause such Restricted Subsidiary to apply, at the Issuer’s option, the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale within 365 days of receipt thereof either:

(i) (w) to permanently repay, prepay, redeem or repurchase First Lien Obligations; provided that any repayment, prepayment, redemption or repurchase of First Lien Obligations under or in respect of any Credit Facility shall be accompanied by a permanent termination of the corresponding amount of commitments thereunder; (x) in the case of Net Cash Proceeds of an Asset Sale by a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, to repay Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer; (y) to redeem or repurchase Notes (I) as provided under Section 11.01, (II) by making an offer in accordance with the procedures set forth below for a Net Proceeds Offer or (III) through open market purchases (at a price no less than 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon); or (z) to prepay, repay, redeem or purchase Permitted Additional Parity Debt at a price of no more than 100% of the principal amount of such Permitted Additional Parity Debt plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the date of such prepayment, repayment, redemption or purchase; provided further that, to the extent the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary prepays, repays, redeems or purchases Permitted Additional Parity Debt pursuant to this clause (z), the Issuer shall equally and ratably redeem or repurchase (or offer to repurchase) obligations under the Notes as provided in the immediately preceding clause (y);

(ii) to make an investment in properties and assets that replace the properties and assets that were the subject of such Asset Sale or in properties and assets (including Capital Stock but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, assets classified as current assets in accordance with GAAP) that will be used in the business of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries as existing on the Issue Date or in businesses reasonably related thereto (“Replacement Assets”); provided that, in the case of this clause (ii), a binding commitment shall be treated as a permanent application of the Net Cash Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Issuer or such other Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Cash Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”); provided, further, that if any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Cash Proceeds are applied, then such Net Cash Proceeds shall constitute part of the Net Proceeds Offer Amount if not otherwise applied as provided above within 365 days of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided, further, that the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, promptly takes such action (if any) as

-81-

may be required to cause that portion of the investment constituting Collateral to be added to the Collateral securing the Notes; or

(iii) any combination of the foregoing.

(b) On the 366th day (or, in the event of an Acceptable Commitment, the 546th day) after an Asset Sale or such earlier date, if any, as the Board of Directors of the Issuer or of such Restricted Subsidiary determines not to apply the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale as set forth in Section 10.17(a)(4) (each, a “Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date”), such aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds that have not been applied on or before such Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as permitted Section 10.17(a)(4) (each a “Net Proceeds Offer Amount”) shall be applied by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary to make an offer to purchase (the “Net Proceeds Offer”) to all Holders and, to the extent required by the terms of any Additional Parity Debt, to all holders of such Additional Parity Debt, on a date (the “Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date”) not less than 30 nor more than 45 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, from all Holders (and holders of any such Additional Parity Debt) on a pro rata basis, the maximum amount of Notes and Additional Parity Debt that may be purchased with the Net Proceeds Offer Amount at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and Additional Parity Debt to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase.

(c) The Issuer may defer the Net Proceeds Offer until there is an aggregate unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount equal to or in excess of $25.0 million resulting from one or more Asset Sales (at which time, the entire unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount, and not just the amount in excess of $25.0 million, shall be applied as required pursuant to this clause (c)).

(d) Pending the final application of any Net Cash Proceeds of this Section 10.17, the Issuer or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net Cash Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

(e) To the extent Holders properly tender Notes and holders of Additional Parity Debt properly tender such Additional Parity Debt in an amount that is less than the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the Issuer may use any remaining Net Proceeds Offer Amount for general corporate purposes, subject to other covenants contained in this Indenture. To the extent Holders properly tender Notes and holders of Additional Parity Debt properly tender such Additional Parity Debt in an amount exceeding the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the tendered Notes and Additional Parity Debt will be purchased on a pro rata basis (based on amounts tendered) in an aggregate amount equal to the Net Proceeds Offer Amount (if any).

(f) The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 10.17, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 10.17 by virtue thereof.

(g) The provisions of this Section 10.17 may be waived or modified at any time with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes.

SECTION 10.18. Suspension of Covenants.

(a) Beginning on the date that (i) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating and (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and ending on the date (the “Reversion Date”) that either Rating Agency ceases to have an Investment Grade Rating on the Notes (such period of time, the “Suspension Period”), the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to the following provisions of this Indenture (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”):

(i) Section 8.01(a)(2);

-82-

(ii) Section 10.10;

(iii) Section 10.11;

(iv) Section 10.13;

(v) Section 10.14; and

(vi) Section 10.17.

(b) During a Suspension Period, the Issuer’s Board of Directors may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(c) On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as Permitted Indebtedness under clause (3) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” and permitted to be refinanced under clause (17) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness.”

(d) Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 10.10 will be made as though Section 10.10 had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will not reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 10.10(a)(iii). In addition, for purposes of Section 10.13, all agreements, arrangements and transactions entered into by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with an Affiliate of the Issuer during the applicable 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 10.14, all contracts entered into during the applicable Suspension Period prior to such Reversion Date that contain any of the restrictions contemplated by such covenant will be deemed to have been existing on the Issue Date.

(e) Notwithstanding the fact that covenants suspended during a Suspension Period may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period or at the time such covenants are reinstated.

(f) The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the ratings of the Notes, determine whether a Suspension Period is in effect or the Reversion Date has occurred, or notify Holders of any of the foregoing.

SECTION 10.19. Additional Subsidiary Guarantees.

(a) After the Issue Date, the Issuer will cause each of its Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries (other than any Excluded Subsidiary for so long as it is an Excluded Subsidiary) that guarantees or becomes a borrower under the ABL Credit Agreement or that guarantees any Credit Facilities or any syndicated loan or capital markets Indebtedness of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors with an outstanding principal amount in excess of $10,000,000, in each case, within 30 calendar days of such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be an Excluded Subsidiary or of such guarantee of such Indebtedness, to execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guarantee pursuant to which such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary will unconditionally Guarantee, on a joint and several basis, the full and prompt payment of the principal of, premium, if any and interest on the notes and all other obligations under this Indenture on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in this Indenture and supplements to the applicable Security Documents in order to xxxxx x Xxxx on the Collateral owned by such Subsidiary to the same extent as that set forth in this Indenture and the Security Documents and take all actions required by the Security Documents to perfect such Lien.

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

-83-

(c) Each Guarantee shall be released in accordance with Section 12.08 of this Indenture.

SECTION 10.20. Impairment of Security Interest. Subject to the rights of the holders of Permitted Liens, the Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, take or knowingly or negligently omit to take, any action which action or omission would or could reasonably be expected to have the result of materially impairing the security interest with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, subject to limited exceptions.

SECTION 10.21. Post-Closing Covenant.

(a) Within 90 days of the Issue Date (or such later date as the First Lien Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion), the Notes Collateral Agent shall have received, with respect to each Mortgaged Real Property, each of the following, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent:

(i) counterparts of each Mortgage to be entered into with respect to each such Mortgaged Real Property, duly executed and delivered by the record owner of such Mortgaged Real Property and suitable for recording, registering or filing in all filing, registration or recording offices that the Notes Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary to create a valid and enforceable Lien, subject to Permitted Collateral Liens, in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent for the benefit of itself and the other Noteholder Secured Parties;

(ii) mortgagee’s title insurance policy or marked up unconditional binder of title insurance (subject to Permitted Collateral Liens) in amount, form, and substance as customary and appropriate and including such endorsements as customary and which are available at the jurisdiction where the applicable Mortgaged Real Property is located (and in connection therewith, the Issuer or the applicable Guarantor shall deliver to the applicable title company an “owner’s affidavit and GAP indemnity” in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such title insurance company);

(iii) either (x) an ALTA survey prepared and certified to the Notes Collateral Agent by a surveyor acceptable to the Notes Collateral Agent or (y) “no change to survey affidavit” or such other certificates or documents as the applicable title insurance company requires to remove the standard survey exception and issue standard survey-related endorsements; and

(iv) executed legal opinions regarding (x) the enforceability of each Mortgage from counsel in the state in which such parcel of Mortgaged Real Property is located and (y) the due authorization, execution and delivery of each Mortgage, each, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent.

(b) Within 60 days of the Issue Date (or such longer period as may be agreed by the Notes Collateral Agent in its sole discretion), use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver customary insurance certificates with respect to liability insurance and insurance policies maintained by the Issuer and Guarantors covering their properties and business against loss or damage, with endorsements (where customary and applicable), which name the Notes Collateral Agent as an additional insured thereunder and, in the case of each casualty insurance policy, where applicable, contain either a loss payable clause or a customary endorsement naming the Notes Collateral Agent as loss payee thereunder.

Notice of any redemption of the Notes (including upon an Equity Offering or in connection with another transaction (or series of related transactions) or an event that constitutes a Change of Control) may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be given prior to the completion or the occurrence thereof and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an Equity Offering, other offering, Change of Control or other corporate transaction or event. If such redemption or offer to purchase is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the Redemption Date or purchase date may be delayed (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption or purchase was mailed or transmitted electronically) without any specified notice requirement until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion), or such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date or purchase date, or by the Redemption Date or purchase date so delayed. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the Redemption Price or purchase price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption or purchase may be performed by another Person. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible for monitoring, or charged with knowledge of, the maximum aggregate amount of the Notes eligible under this Indenture to be redeemed.

If any such condition precedent has not been satisfied, the Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee thereof. Upon receipt, the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the Notes in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.

SECTION 11.07. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.03) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on, all the Notes which are to be redeemed on such Redemption Date.

SECTION 11.08. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable, unless such redemption is conditioned on the happening of a future event, at the Redemption Price therein specified (together with accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date), and from and after such Redemption Date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued but unpaid interest, if any) such Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Note for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Note shall be paid by the Issuer at the Redemption Price, together with accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date and such Note shall be canceled by the Trustee; provided, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more Predecessor Notes, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.07.

If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Notes, unless such redemption is conditioned on the happening of a future event.

Any Note which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of this Article Eleven) shall be surrendered at an office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 10.02 (with, if the Issuer or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note without service charge, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered.

SECTION 11.10. Mandatory Redemption; Offers to Purchase; Open Market Purchases. The Issuer shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. However, under certain circumstances, the Issuer may be required to offer to purchase Notes as set forth in Sections 10.16 and 10.17. The Issuer and its Affiliates may at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise (for cash or otherwise).

ARTICLE Twelve

GUARANTEES

SECTION 12.01. Guarantees. Subject to this Article Twelve, each Guarantor jointly and severally, fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees on a senior secured second lien basis the Notes and obligations of the Issuer hereunder and thereunder, and guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, and to the Trustee for itself and on behalf of such Holder and the Notes Collateral Agent, that: (1) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes will be paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise (including the amount that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Law), together with interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any overdue interest, to the extent lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders, the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent hereunder or thereunder will be paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or of any such other obligations, the same shall be 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, subject, however, in the case of clauses (1) and (2) above, to the limitation set forth in Section 12.04 hereof.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees (to the extent permitted by applicable law) that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver, consent or amendment by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor.

Each Guarantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand for payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer or any other Person, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that the Guarantee of such Guarantor shall not be discharged as to any Note except by complete performance of the obligations contained in such Note, this Indenture and such Guarantee. Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Guarantee is a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due and not of collection. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such Note or in payment of any other obligations hereunder, whether at its Stated Maturity, by acceleration, purchase or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of itself or the Notes Collateral Agent or on behalf of, or by, the Holder of such Note, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against each of the Guarantors to enforce such Guarantor’s Guarantee without first proceeding against the Issuer or any other Guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee or any of the Holders are prevented by applicable law from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the Maturity of the Notes, to collect interest on the Notes, or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the Notes, such Guarantor shall pay to the Trustee for

-88-

the account of the Holder, upon demand therefor, the amount that would otherwise have been due and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the Trustee or any of the Holders.

If any Holder, the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer or any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or any Guarantor, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent or such Holder, the Guarantee of each of the Guarantors, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent on the other hand, (1) subject to this Article Twelve, the Maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Five hereof for the purposes of the Guarantee of such Guarantor notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any acceleration of such obligation as provided in Article Five hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of the Guarantee of such Guarantor.

Each Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Issuer for liquidation, reorganization, should the Issuer become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Issuer’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent in enforcing any rights under this Section 12.01.

SECTION 12.02. Severability. In case any provision of any Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby to the extent permitted by applicable law.

SECTION 12.03. Restricted Subsidiaries. Upon the execution of any such amendment or supplement to this Indenture pursuant to which a Restricted Subsidiary becomes a Guarantor, the obligations of the Guarantors and any such Restricted Subsidiary under their respective Guarantees shall become joint and several and each reference to the “Guarantor” in this Indenture shall, subject to Section 12.08, be deemed to refer to all Guarantors, including such Restricted Subsidiary. Such Guarantee shall be released in accordance with Section 8.03 and Section 12.08.

SECTION 12.04. Limitation of Guarantors’ Liability. Each Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each Holder confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by each such Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law or the provisions of its local law relating to fraudulent transfer or conveyance. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and each such Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount that will not, 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 Guarantee or pursuant to this Section 12.04, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

SECTION 12.05. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors, the Guarantors agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under a Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from all other Guarantors in a pro rata amount based on the Adjusted Net Assets (as defined below) of each Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor) for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging

-89-

the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the Notes or any other Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the Guarantee of such Guarantor. “Adjusted Net Assets” of such Guarantor at any date shall mean the lesser of (1) the amount by which the fair value of the property of such Guarantor exceeds the total amount of liabilities, including contingent liabilities (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date), but excluding liabilities under the Guarantee of such Guarantor at such date and (2) the amount by which the present fair salable value of the assets of such Guarantor at such date exceeds the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such Guarantor on its debts (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date), excluding debt in respect of the Guarantee of such Guarantor, as they become absolute and matured.

SECTION 12.06. Subrogation. Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.01; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Issuer under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full.

SECTION 12.07. Reinstatement. Each Guarantor hereby agrees (and each Person who becomes a Guarantor shall agree) that the Guarantee provided for in Section 12.01 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time, payment, or any part thereof, of any obligations or interest thereon is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by a Holder to the Issuer upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Issuer or any Guarantor.

SECTION 12.08. Release of a Guarantee.

(a) Each Guarantor may consolidate with or merge into, consummate a Division as the Dividing Person or sell its assets to the Issuer or another Guarantor that is a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer without limitation, or with other Persons, upon the terms and conditions set forth in Section 8.02.

(b) In the event all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor is sold by the Issuer and the sale complies with the provisions set forth in Section 10.17, such Guarantor’s Guarantee, together with any pledge of equity interests of such Guarantor or lien on or security interest in any assets of such Guarantor, will be released.

(c) In the event a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor is properly designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, such Guarantor's Guarantee, together with any pledge of the equity interests owned by such Guarantor or lien on or security interest in any assets of such Guarantor, will be released.

(d) To the extent a Guarantor is also a guarantor or a borrower under the ABL Credit Agreement and, at the time of release of its Guarantee, such Guarantor has been released from or discharged of its guarantee of, and all pledges and security, if any, granted in connection with, the ABL Credit Agreement (except a release by or as a result of a payment thereon), such Guarantor's Guarantee, together with any pledge of the equity interests owned by such Guarantor or lien on or security interest in any assets of such Guarantor, will be released.

SECTION 12.09. Benefits Acknowledged. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and from its guarantee and waivers pursuant to its Guarantees under this Article Twelve.

SECTION 12.10. Effectiveness of Guarantees. This Indenture shall be effective upon its execution and delivery by the parties hereto.

The Notes Collateral Agent and/or Trustee shall do or cause to be done (at the Issuer’s expense) all acts reasonably requested by any Note Party to release, terminate or subordinate any such Liens or security interests as soon as is reasonably practicable. Neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent shall be liable for any such release or termination undertaken in reliance upon any such Officer’s Certificate.

(a) enforce any of the terms of the Security Documents; and

(b) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Obligations hereunder.

Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall have the power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent may determine to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of any of the Security Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent may determine to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral.

In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article Thirteen upon the Issuer or a Guarantor with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Issuer or a Guarantor or of any Officer or Officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article Thirteen; and if the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent shall be in the possession of the Collateral under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent.

SECTION 13.07. Notes Collateral Agent.

(a) Each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby designates and appoints the Notes Collateral Agent as its agent under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Security Documents, and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby irrevocably authorizes the Notes Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Security Documents, and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Notes Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Security Documents, and consents and agrees to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and each other Security Document, as the same may be in effect or may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their respective terms. The Notes Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 13.07. Each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby agrees that the Notes Collateral Agent may act as agent under and subject to the terms of the Security Agreement for the benefit of all Secured Parties, including, without limitation, any Secured Parties that hold any Permitted Additional Parity Debt. Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Notes Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Security Documents, and the exercise by the Notes Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be authorized and binding upon all Holders. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture and the Security Documents, the duties of the Notes Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, in the Intercreditor Agreement and in the other Security Documents, to which the Notes Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Notes Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder or any Note Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture and the Security Documents, or otherwise exist against the Notes Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Notes Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b) The Notes Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or the other Security Documents by or through Affiliates and the partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees and advisors of such Person and of such Person’s Affiliates (a “Related Person”), and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in taking action in reliance upon any advice or opinion given by legal counsel. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any receiver, agent, employee, attorney-in-fact or Related Person that it selects as long as such selection was made in good faith and with due care.

(c) None of the Notes Collateral Agent or any of its respective Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or under or in connection with any

-93-

Security Document or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Trustee or any Holder for any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Issuer or any other Note Party or Affiliate of any Note Party, or any Officer or Related Person thereof, contained in this Indenture or the Security Documents, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Notes Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture or the Security Documents, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Indenture or the Security Documents, or for any failure of any Note Party or any other party to this Indenture or the Security Documents to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. None of the Notes Collateral Agent or any of its respective Related Persons shall be under any obligation to the Trustee or any Holder to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Indenture or the Security Documents, or to inspect the properties, books, or records of any Note Party or any Note Party’s Affiliates.

(d) The Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, certification, telephone message, statement, or other communication, document or conversation (including those by telephone or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Issuer or any other Note Party), independent accountants and other experts and advisors selected by the Notes Collateral Agent. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document. The Notes Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Indenture or the Security Documents, in accordance with a request, direction, instruction or consent of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders.

(e) The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Notes Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee or the Issuer referring to this Indenture, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Notes Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee in accordance with Article 5 or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (subject to this Section 13.07).

(f) The Notes Collateral Agent may resign at any time by 30 days’ written notice to the Trustee and the Issuer, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Notes Collateral Agent. If the Notes Collateral Agent resigns under this Indenture, the Issuer shall appoint a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the intended effective date of the resignation of the Notes Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Trustee, at the direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, may appoint a successor collateral agent, subject to the consent of the Issuer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required during a continuing Event of Default). If no successor collateral agent is appointed and consented to by the Issuer pursuant to the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the notice of resignation) the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Notes Collateral Agent, and the term “Notes Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring Notes Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Notes Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Notes Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 13.07 (and Section 6.07 hereof) shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring Notes Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Notes Collateral Agent under this Indenture.

(g) U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association shall initially act as Notes Collateral Agent and shall be authorized to appoint co-Notes Collateral Agents as necessary in its sole discretion. Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein, in the Intercreditor Agreement or in the other Security Documents, neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents or other Related Persons shall be

-94-

liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The Notes Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(h) The Notes Collateral Agent is authorized and directed to (i) enter into the Security Documents to which it is party, whether executed on or after the Issue Date, (ii) enter into Intercreditor Agreement on the Issue Date, (iii) make the representations of the Holders set forth in the Security Documents, (iv) bind the Holders on the terms as set forth in the Security Documents and (v) perform and observe its obligations under the Security Documents.

(i) If at any time or times the Trustee shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, set-off or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations arising under, or relating to, this Indenture, except for any such proceeds or payments received by the Trustee from the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, or (ii) payments from the Notes Collateral Agent in excess of the amount required to be paid to the Trustee pursuant to Article 6, the Trustee shall promptly turn the same over to the Notes Collateral Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Notes Collateral Agent such proceeds to be applied by the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Security Documents.

(j) The Notes Collateral Agent is each Holder’s agent for the purpose of perfecting the Holders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, can be perfected only by possession. Should the Trustee obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon request from the Issuer, the Trustee shall notify the Notes Collateral Agent thereof and promptly shall deliver such Collateral to the Notes Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Notes Collateral Agent’s instructions.

(k) The Notes Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Note Party or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Notes Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all of the Note Party’s property constituting Collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Security Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture or any Security Document, other than pursuant to the instructions of the Trustee or Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes or as otherwise provided in the Security Documents.

(l) If the Issuer or any Guarantor (i) incurs any obligations in respect of First Lien Obligations at any time when no applicable intercreditor agreement is in effect or at any time when Indebtedness constituting First Lien Obligations entitled to the benefit of the existing Intercreditor Agreement is concurrently retired, and (ii) delivers to the Notes Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate so stating and requesting the Notes Collateral Agent to enter into an intercreditor agreement (on substantially the same terms as the Intercreditor Agreement) in favor of a designated agent or representative for the holders of the First Lien Obligations so incurred, the Notes Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby authorized and directed to) enter into such intercreditor agreement (at the sole expense and cost of the Issuer, including legal fees and expenses of the Notes Collateral Agent), bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein and perform and observe its obligations thereunder; provided that an Officer’s Certificate shall not be required in connection with the Intercreditor Agreement to be entered into by the Notes Collateral Agent on the Issue Date.

(m) No provision of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or any other Security Document shall require the Notes Collateral Agent (or the Trustee) to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Holders (or the Trustee in the case of the

-95-

Notes Collateral Agent) unless it shall have received indemnity satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent and the Trustee against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Notes Collateral Agent relating thereto.

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

(n) The Notes Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with this Indenture and the Security Documents or any instrument referred to herein or therein, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Notes Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Issuer (and money held in trust by the Notes Collateral Agent need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law) and (iii) may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act.

(o) Neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters. Neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages (including, but not limited to, lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action.

(p) The Notes Collateral Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Issuer or any other Note Party under this Indenture and the Security Documents. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to the Holders or any other Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in this Indenture or the Security Documents, or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Notes Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture or any Security Document; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Security Documents of any other party thereto; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien thereon; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Notes Obligations; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its Obligations under this Indenture and the Security Documents. The Notes Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to any Holder or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any obligor of any terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in this Indenture and any Security Documents. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this Indenture and the Security Documents unless expressly set forth hereunder or thereunder. The Notes Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from the Holders with respect to the administration of this Indenture or the Security Documents.

(q) The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including, but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action,

-96-

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

(r) Upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate, the Notes Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and enter into, and shall execute and enter into, without the further consent of any Holder or the Trustee, any Security Document or amendment, restatement, joinder, supplement or other modification thereto to be executed after the Issue Date; provided that the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute or enter into any such Security Document which, in the Notes Collateral Agent’s reasonable judgment, is reasonably likely to adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Notes Collateral Agent or that the Notes Collateral Agent determines is reasonably likely to involve the Notes Collateral Agent in personal liability. Other than as set forth in this Indenture, any such execution of a Security Document shall be at the direction and expense of the Issuer. The Holders, by their acceptance of the Notes, hereby authorize and direct the Notes Collateral Agent to execute such Security Documents (subject to the first sentence of this Section 13.07(r)).

(s) Subject to the provisions of the applicable Security Documents, each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, agrees that the Notes Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver the Security Documents to which it is a party and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto, and act in accordance with the terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Notes Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to exercise discretion under this Indenture or the Security Documents and shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or direction without the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes or the Trustee, as applicable.

(t) After the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee, acting at the direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, may direct the Notes Collateral Agent in connection with any action required or permitted by this Indenture or the Security Documents.

(u) The Notes Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders distributed under the Security Documents, and to the extent not prohibited under the Intercreditor Agreement, for turnover to the Trustee to make further distributions of such funds to itself, the Trustee and the Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06 and the other provisions of this Indenture.

(v) In each case that the Notes Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder or under any Security Document to take any action (an “Action”), including, without limitation, to make any determination, to give

-97-

consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act hereunder or under any Security Document, the Notes Collateral Agent may seek direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes. If the Notes Collateral Agent shall request direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes with respect to any Action, the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless and until the Notes Collateral Agent shall have received direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes, accompanied by, if requested, indemnity satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent against any loss, liability or expense, and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

(w) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or in any Security Document, in no event shall the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with respect to, the recording, filing, registering, perfection, protection or maintenance of the security interests or Liens intended to be created by this Indenture or the Security Documents (including, without limitation, the filing or continuation of any UCC financing or continuation statements or similar documents or instruments), nor shall the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, and neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee makes any representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness or priority of any of the Security Documents or the security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby.

(x) Before the Notes Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting in each case at the request or direction of the Issuer or the Guarantors, other than as set forth in any provisions in this Indenture which provide for the documents or actions required with respect thereto (including as set forth in Section 9.03 and Section 13.02 of this Indenture), it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both, which shall conform to the provisions of this Section 13.07 and Section 1.03 hereof. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

(y) The rights, privileges, benefits, immunities, indemnities and other protections given to the Trustee are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Notes Collateral Agent as if the Notes Collateral Agent were named as the Trustee herein and the Security Documents were named as this Indenture herein.

(z) The Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to compensation, reimbursement and indemnity as provided in Section 6.07, as if references to the Trustee therein were references to the Notes Collateral Agent.

ARTICLE Fourteen

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

SECTION 14.01. Issuer’s Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Issuer may, at its option, at any time, with respect to the Notes, elect to have either Section 14.02 or Section 14.03 be applied to all Outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Fourteen.

SECTION 14.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 14.01 of the option applicable to this Section 14.02, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have been discharged from their respective obligations with respect to all Outstanding Notes and the Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth in Section 14.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that each of the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 14.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes, Guarantees, the Security Documents and this Indenture insofar as such Notes are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute such instruments reasonably requested by the Issuer acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments are due solely out of the trust created pursuant to this Indenture, (2) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 10.02 and

-98-

10.03, (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, and the obligations of each of the Guarantors and the Issuer in connection therewith and (4) this Article Fourteen. Subject to compliance with this Article Fourteen, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 14.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 14.03 with respect to the Notes.

SECTION 14.03. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 14.01 of the option applicable to this Section 14.03, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall have the option to be released from any or all of their respective obligations under any covenant contained in Sections 8.01 and 8.02 and in Sections 10.04 through and including 10.21 with respect to the Outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and, to the extent such option is exercised, the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not to be “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding Notes, the Issuer or any Guarantor, as applicable, may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Sections 5.01(3), and as a result of such Covenant Defeasance, Sections 5.01(4), 5.01(5), and 5.01(7) and, with respect to only any Significant Subsidiary and not the Issuer, Section 5.01(6), shall no longer be in effect but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby.

SECTION 14.04. Conditions to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions to application of either Section 14.02 or Section 14.03 to the Outstanding Notes:

(a) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities rated AAA or better by S&P and Aaa by Xxxxx’x, or a combination thereof, in such amounts (including scheduled payments thereon) as will be sufficient (without consideration of any reinvestment of interest), in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be; provided that, with respect to any redemption pursuant to Section 11.01 that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the Redemption Price deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that the Redemption Price so deposited with the Trustee is calculated using an amount equal to the Applicable Premium computed using the Treasury Rate as of the second business day preceding the date of such deposit with the Trustee;

(b) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that:

(1) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or

(2) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law,

(c) in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the beneficial owners of Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(d) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the beneficial owners of Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S.

-99-

federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(e) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowings);

(f) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (including, without limitation, the ABL Credit Agreement but excluding this Indenture) to which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is bound; and

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

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

SECTION 14.05. Deposited Money and Government Securities To Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.03(f), all cash and Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 14.04 in respect of the Outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, but such money or Government Securities need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 14.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the Outstanding Notes.

Anything in this Article Fourteen to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon Issuer’s Request any money or Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 14.04 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 an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Article Fourteen.

SECTION 14.06. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 14.05 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’s and each Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Outstanding Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 14.02 or 14.03, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 14.05; provided that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Definitive Note, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, together with:

(i) certification, in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note, that such Definitive Note is either (A) being transferred to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A or (B) being transferred after expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period by a Person who initially purchased such Note in reliance on Regulation S to a buyer who elects to hold its interest in such Note in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note; and

(ii) written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Notes Custodian to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Rule 144A Global Note (in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (b)(i)(A)) or Regulation S Global Note (in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (b)(i)(B)) to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Rule 144A Global Note or Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, such instructions to contain information regarding the Agent Member account to be credited with such increase,

The Note Registrar shall, in accordance with such instructions, instruct the Depository to credit to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note and to debit the account of the Person making the transfer the beneficial interest in the Global Note being transferred. The Note Registrar shall have no responsibilities with respect to transfers of beneficial interests within a single Global Note.

(ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Note to a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Note Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Note Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.
