(A) if, since the beginning of such period, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary has Incurred any Indebtedness that remains outstanding on such date of determination or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio is an Incurrence of Indebtedness, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such Indebtedness as if such Indebtedness had been Incurred on the first day of such period (except that in

making such computation, the amount of Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility outstanding on the date of such calculation shall be computed based on (x) the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during such four fiscal quarters or such shorter period for which such facility was outstanding or (y) if such facility was created after the end of such four fiscal quarters, the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the period from the date of creation of such facility to the date of such calculation),

(B) if, since the beginning of such period, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary has repaid, repurchased, redeemed, defeased or otherwise acquired, retired or discharged any Indebtedness that is no longer outstanding on such date of determination (each, a “Discharge”) or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio involves a Discharge of Indebtedness (in each case other than Indebtedness Incurred under any revolving credit facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid), Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such Discharge of such Indebtedness, including with the proceeds of such new Indebtedness, as if such Discharge had occurred on the first day of such period,

(C) if, since the beginning of such period, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have disposed of any company, any business or any group of assets constituting an operating unit of a business (any such disposition, a “Sale”), the Consolidated EBITDA for such period shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if positive) attributable to the assets that are the subject of such Sale for such period or increased by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if negative) attributable thereto for such period and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be reduced by an amount equal to (x) the Consolidated Interest Expense attributable to any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary repaid, repurchased, redeemed, defeased or otherwise acquired, retired or discharged with respect to the Company and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such Sale for such period (including through the assumption of such Indebtedness by another Person) plus (y) if the Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary is sold, the Consolidated Interest Expense for such period attributable to the Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary to the extent the Company and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer liable for such Indebtedness after such Sale,

(D) if, since the beginning of such period, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) shall have made an Investment in any Person that thereby becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, or otherwise acquired any company, any business or any group of assets constituting an operating unit of a business, including any such Investment or acquisition occurring in connection with a transaction causing a calculation to be made hereunder (any such Investment or acquisition, a “Purchase”), Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto (including the Incurrence of any related Indebtedness) as if such Purchase occurred on the first day of such period, and

(E) if, since the beginning of such period, any Person became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged or consolidated with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, and since the beginning of such period such Person shall have Discharged any Indebtedness or made any Sale or Purchase that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (B), (C) or (D) of this definition if made by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Discharge, Sale or Purchase occurred on the first day of such period;

provided that (in the event that the Company shall classify Indebtedness Incurred on the date of determination as Incurred in part under Section 4.03(a) and in part under Section 4.03(b), as provided in Section 4.03(c)(iii)) any such pro forma calculation of Consolidated Interest Expense shall not give effect to any such Incurrence of Indebtedness on the date of determination pursuant to Section 4.03(b) or to any Discharge of Indebtedness from the proceeds of any such Incurrence pursuant to Section 4.03(b).

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any Sale, Purchase or other transaction, or the amount of income or earnings relating thereto and the amount of Consolidated Interest Expense associated with any Indebtedness Incurred or repaid, repurchased, redeemed, defeased or otherwise acquired, retired or discharged in connection therewith, the pro forma calculations in respect thereof (including in respect of anticipated cost savings or synergies relating to any such Sale, Purchase or other transaction) shall be as determined in good faith by the Chief Financial Officer or an authorized Officer of the Company; provided that with respect to cost savings or synergies relating to any Sale, Purchase or other transaction, the related actions are expected by the Company to be taken no later than 12 months after the date of determination. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness). If any Indebtedness bears, at the option of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, a rate of interest based on a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate or other fixed or floating rate, and such Indebtedness is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be calculated by applying such optional rate as the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may designate.

ARTICLE 2

The Securities

SECTION 2.01. Form and Dating. Provisions relating to the Securities are set forth in Appendix A hereto (the “Appendix”), which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The (a) Original Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication and (b) any Additional Securities (if issued as Transfer Restricted Securities) and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall each be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Issuer). Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form without interest coupons and only in denominations of $2,000 and whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The terms of the Securities set forth in the Appendix and Exhibits hereto are part of the terms of this Indenture. However, to the extent any provision of any Security conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

SECTION 2.02. Execution and Authentication. One Officer of the Issuer shall sign the Securities for the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature.

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

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

On the Issue Date, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver $1,300,000,000 of 4.875% Senior Notes due 2025 and, at any time and from time to time thereafter, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Additional Securities, in an aggregate principal amount specified in a Company Order. A Company Order delivered to the Trustee in connection with the authentication of Securities under this Section shall specify the amount of Securities to be authenticated and the date on which such Securities are to be authenticated, and in the case of Additional Securities, it shall certify that such issuance is in compliance with Section 4.03.

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

SECTION 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent. (a) The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall maintain a register reflecting ownership of the Securities outstanding from time to time and facilitate transfers of Securities on behalf of the Issuer. The Paying Agent shall make payments on the Securities on behalf of the Issuer. The Issuer may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent, and the term “Registrar” includes any co-registrars. The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee as (i) Registrar and Paying Agent in connection with the Securities and (ii) the Securities Custodian with respect to the Global Securities.

(b) The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Paying Agent or co-registrar 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 of the name and address of any such agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.06. The Company or any of its domestically organized Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.

(c) The Issuer may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) acceptance of an appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Issuer and such successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) of this Section 2.03(c). The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee.

SECTION 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. Prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal of and interest on any Security, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or if the Issuer or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is acting as Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto) a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming due. The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. If the Issuer or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.04, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.

SECTION 2.05. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to furnish, to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders.

SECTION 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. The Securities shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Security for registration of transfer and in compliance with the Appendix. When a Security is presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of this Indenture and Section 8-401(a)(1) of the Uniform Commercial Code are met. When Securities are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate

Securities at the Registrar’s or co-registrar’s request. The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section 2.06. The Issuer shall not be required to make and the Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of Securities to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or any Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be redeemed or 15 days before an interest payment date.

Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Security, the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and (subject to Section 2 of the Securities) interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and none of the Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

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

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

SECTION 2.07. Replacement Securities. If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met, such that the Holder (a) satisfies the Issuer or the Trustee within a reasonable time after such Holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Registrar does not register a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to the Issuer or the Trustee prior to the Security being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code (a “protected purchaser”) and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Issuer and the Trustee to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-registrar from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Security. In the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may pay such Security instead of issuing a new Security in replacement thereof.

Every replacement Security is an additional Obligation of the Issuer.

The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Securities.

SECTION 2.08. Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Subject to Section 11.05, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Security.

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuer receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser.

If the Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a Redemption Date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, then on and after that date such Securities (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

SECTION 2.09. Temporary Securities. In the event that Definitive Securities are to be issued under the terms of this Indenture, until such Definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Securities but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Securities and deliver them in exchange for temporary Securities upon surrender of such temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Issuer, without charge to the Holder.

SECTION 2.10. Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and destroy (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Issuer unless the Issuer directs the Trustee to deliver canceled Securities to the Issuer pursuant to written direction by an Officer. The Issuer may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall not authenticate Securities in place of cancelled Securities other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 2.11. Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, the Issuer shall pay the defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Issuer may pay the

defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed or otherwise deliver to each Holder in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary (or, if the Securities are then certificated, to each Holder’s registered address) a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

SECTION 2.12. CUSIP, ISIN and Common Code Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (in each case if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall advise the Trustee in writing of any change in any “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs or “Common Code” numbers applicable to the Securities.

SECTION 2.13. Issuance of Additional Securities.

(a) After the Issue Date, the Issuer shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Section 4.03, to issue Additional Securities under this Indenture, which Securities shall have identical terms as the Original Securities, other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price, original interest accrual date and original interest payment date. All the Securities issued under this Indenture shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including waivers, amendments, supplements, redemptions and offers to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that any Additional Securities are not fungible with the Original Securities for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, such non-fungible Additional Securities shall be issued with a separate CUSIP or ISIN number so that they are distinguishable from the Original Securities.

(b) With respect to any Additional Securities, the Company shall set forth in a resolution of the Board of Directors and an Officer’s Certificate, a copy of each which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:

(i) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Securities to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture and the provision of Section 4.03 that the Company is relying on to issue such Additional Securities; and

(ii) the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP number of such Additional Securities.

ARTICLE 3

Redemption

SECTION 3.01. Notices to Trustee. If the Company elects to redeem Securities pursuant to Section 5 of the Securities, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date and the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed.

The Company shall give each notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section 3.01 at least 15 days before the notice of redemption is given to any Holder unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period. Such notice to the Trustee shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel from the Company to the effect that such redemption shall comply with the conditions herein. Any such notice may be canceled by written notice of the Company to the Trustee at any time prior to notice of such redemption being mailed or otherwise delivered to any Holder pursuant to Section 3.03 and shall thereby be void and of no effect.

SECTION 3.02. Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed. If fewer than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary or, if the Securities are then certificated, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem to be fair and appropriate. The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Securities that have denominations larger than $2,000. Securities and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in principal amounts of $2,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, to the extent practicable. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption. If the Securities are then certificated and are being redeemed other than on a pro rata basis, the Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Securities or portions of Securities to be redeemed.

SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption. (a) At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a date for redemption of Securities, the Company shall mail or otherwise deliver to each Holder in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary (or, if the Securities are then certificated, to each Holder’s registered address) a notice of redemption. Any inadvertent defect in the notice of redemption, including an inadvertent failure to give notice, to any Holder selected for redemption shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Security redeemed in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

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

(i) the Redemption Date;

(ii) the redemption price and the amount of accrued interest to the Redemption Date;

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

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

(v) if fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed (and if other than on a pro rata basis), the identification numbers and principal amounts (which amounts may be stated as a ratio of the amount to be redeemed per $1,000 principal amount outstanding) of the particular Securities to be redeemed;

(vi) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Securities (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;

(vii) the “CUSIP” number, ISIN or “Common Code” number, if any, printed on the Securities being redeemed; and

(viii) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the “CUSIP” number, ISIN or “Common Code” number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Securities.

Any such redemption or notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent. If such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed.

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

(b) At the Company’s request, upon written notice provided to the Trustee at least 40 days prior to the Redemption Date, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense. In such event, the Company shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section 3.03 and a copy of the proposed notice of redemption to be mailed or otherwise delivered to the Holders.

SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed or otherwise delivered pursuant to Section 3.03, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date, or the Redemption Date as delayed in accordance with Section 3.03(a), and at the redemption price stated in the notice (subject to the satisfaction of any conditions precedent described therein). Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest and Applicable Premium, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date; provided, however, that if the Redemption Date is after a regular record date and on or prior to the interest payment date, the accrued interest,

Applicable Premium, if any, shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed Securities registered on the relevant record date. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder.

SECTION 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest and Applicable Premium, if any, on all Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on that date other than Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption that have been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation. On and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on Securities or portions thereof called for redemption so long as the Issuer has deposited with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the principal of, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Applicable Premium, if any, on, the Securities to be redeemed, unless the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 3.06. Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Company’s expense) a new Security equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered (or if the Security is a Global Security, an adjustment shall be made to the schedule attached thereto).

ARTICLE 4

Covenants

SECTION 4.01. Payment of Securities. The Issuer shall duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture. Principal amount (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities shall be considered paid on the date due if the Issuer shall have deposited with the Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary) as of 12:00 p.m. New York City time on the due date money in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all principal amount (and premium, if any) and interest then due. Payment of interest on the Securities shall be made through the Paying Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated to the Issuer by the Person entitled thereto, provided, however, that the Issuer may pay interest by mailing a check to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Securities register for Definitive Securities only.

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal (and premium, if any) at the rate specified therefor in the Securities, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

SECTION 4.02. SEC Reports.

(a) Notwithstanding that the Company may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall file with or furnish to the SEC, and furnish to the Trustee and, upon request, Holders and prospective investors in the Securities, within 15 days after it files them with the SEC, copies of its annual report and the information, documents and other reports that are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act (as if the Company had been a reporting company under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act). In addition, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee and, upon request, Holders, promptly upon their becoming available, copies of the annual report to shareholders and any other information provided by the Company to its public shareholders generally. In addition, to the extent not satisfied by this Section 4.02(a), the Company shall furnish to Holders and prospective investors in the Securities, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (as in effect on the Issue Date).

(b) Notwithstanding Section 4.02(a), if the Company has filed or furnished the reports and information referred to in Section 4.02(a) with the SEC via mail or the XXXXX filing system (or any successor thereto) and such reports and information are publicly available, then the Company shall be deemed to have provided and furnished such reports and information to the Trustee and the Holders in satisfaction of the requirement to “furnish” such applicable reports or information as referred to in Section 4.02(a).

(c) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee hereunder is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such reports, information and documents does not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants under this Indenture or the Securities (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates delivered pursuant to this Indenture). The Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Company’s compliance with its covenants under this Indenture or with respect to any reports or other documents posted to the Company’s website or filed or furnished by the Company with the SEC or the XXXXX filing system (or any successor thereto).

(d) All such reports and information shall be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to such reports, except that such reports (i) shall not be required to include separate financial information that would be required by Rules 3-09, 3-10 and 3-16 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC and (ii) shall not be subject to the TIA. If any direct or indirect parent company of the Company that owns, directly or indirectly, 100.0% of the outstanding Capital Stock of the Company, guarantees the Securities on terms substantially similar to those applicable to Subsidiary Guarantees and files reports with the SEC in accordance with Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, whether voluntarily or otherwise, in compliance with Section 4.02(a), then the Company shall be deemed to comply with this covenant; provided, however, that such reports are accompanied by

consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such direct or indirect parent company, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) such reports need not include separate financial information required by Rules 3-09, 3-10 and 3-16 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC and (ii) the consolidating information referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence need not be audited or reviewed by auditors. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, failure to comply with this covenant shall be automatically cured when the Company or its direct or indirect parent company provides all required reports to the Holders or files all required reports with the SEC.

SECTION 4.03. Limitation on Indebtedness. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur any Indebtedness; provided, however, that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may Incur Indebtedness if on the date of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness, after giving effect to the Incurrence thereof, the Consolidated Coverage Ratio would be equal to or greater than 2.00:1.00; provided further, however, that the amount of Indebtedness that may be Incurred pursuant to this Section 4.03(a) by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors shall not exceed an amount at any time outstanding equal to the greater of $175 million and 2.5% of Consolidated Total Assets.

(ii) Indebtedness (A) of any Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or (B) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of this Section 4.03(b)(ii), (x) any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary to which such Indebtedness is owed, or other event, that results in such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent transfer of such Indebtedness (except to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, an Incurrence of such Indebtedness by the issuer thereof not permitted by this Section 4.03(b)(ii), (y) if the Company is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the holder of such Indebtedness is not a Subsidiary Guarantor,

such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to all obligations with respect to the Securities and (z) if a Subsidiary Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness and the holder of such Indebtedness is neither the Company nor a Subsidiary Guarantor, such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to all obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to its Subsidiary Guarantee; provided further, that nothing in the foregoing clauses (y) or (z) shall prohibit the periodic payment of interest thereon or the repayment of such Indebtedness at maturity or otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture;

(ii) in the event that Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Section 4.03(b), the Company, in its sole discretion, shall classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness and may include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one or more of the clauses of Section 4.03(b) (including in part under one such clause and in part under another such clause); provided that (if the Company shall so determine) any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(xii) shall cease to be deemed Incurred or outstanding for purposes of such clause but shall be deemed Incurred for the purposes of Section 4.03(a) from and after the first date on which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary could have Incurred such Indebtedness under Section 4.03(a) without reliance on Section 4.03(b)(xii);

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, the U.S. Dollar Equivalent principal amount of such Indebtedness Incurred pursuant thereto shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date that such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving or deferred draw Indebtedness; provided that (i) the U.S. Dollar Equivalent principal amount of any such Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the Issue Date, (ii) if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency (or in a different currency from such Indebtedness so being Incurred), and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed (A) the outstanding or committed principal amount (whichever is higher) of such Indebtedness being refinanced plus (B) the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing and (iii) the U.S. Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency and Incurred pursuant to any Senior Credit Facility shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on, at the Company’s option, (A) the Issue Date, (B) any date on which any of the respective commitments under the applicable Senior Credit Facility shall be reallocated between or among facilities or subfacilities thereunder, or on which such rate is otherwise calculated for any purpose thereunder, or (C) the date of such Incurrence. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated in effect on the date of such refinancing.

(1) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would result therefrom);

(2) the Company could not Incur at least an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.03(a); or

(xii) any purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Disqualified Stock of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary made by exchange for or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of Disqualified Stock of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, so long as such refinancing Disqualified Stock is permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03 and would constitute Refinancing Indebtedness; and

(xiii) the declaration and payment of dividends in respect of the CD&R Preferred Stock made in cash under and in accordance with the per annum rate and other terms set forth in the CD&R Certificate of Designations and in and aggregate amount not to exceed $40 million in any fiscal year.

provided that (A) in the case of Section 4.04(b)(ii), Section 4.04(b)(vi) and Section 4.04(b)(xiii), the net amount of any such Permitted Payment shall be included in subsequent calculations of the amount of Restricted Payments, (B) in the case of Section 4.04(b)(iv), at the time of any calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments, the net amount of Permitted Payments that have then actually been made under Section 4.04(b)(iv) that is in excess of 50.0% of the total amount of Permitted Payments then permitted under Section 4.04(b)(iv) shall be included in such calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments, (C) in all cases other than pursuant to clauses (A) and (B) immediately above, the net amount of any such Permitted Payment shall be excluded in subsequent calculations of the amount of Restricted Payments, and (D) solely with respect to Section 4.04(b)(v) and Section 4.04(b)(xiii), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of any such Permitted Payment after giving effect thereto. The Company, in its sole discretion, may classify or reclassify any Investment or other Restricted Payment as being made in part under one of the clauses or subclauses of this Section 4.04 (or, in the case of any Investment, the clauses or subclauses of Permitted Investments) and in part under one or more other such clauses or subclauses (or, as applicable, clauses or subclauses). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Indenture shall restrict the repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of the Securities or the 2023 Notes, including any call premium paid in connection therewith.

SECTION 4.05. Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create or otherwise cause to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to (i) pay dividends

or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or pay any Indebtedness or other obligations owed to the Company, (ii) make any loans or advances to the Company or (iii) transfer any of its property or assets to the Company (provided that dividend or liquidation priority between classes of Capital Stock, or subordination of any obligation (including the application of any remedy bars thereto) to any other obligation, shall not be deemed to constitute such an encumbrance or restriction), in each case except any encumbrance or restriction:

(a) pursuant to an agreement or instrument in effect at or entered into on the Issue Date, any Credit Facility, this Indenture, the 2023 Indenture, the Securities, the 2023 Notes, any Subsidiary Guarantee or any Guarantee of the 2023 Notes;

(b) pursuant to any agreement or instrument of a Person, or relating to Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person, which Person is acquired by or merged or consolidated with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, or which agreement or instrument is assumed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with an acquisition from such Person (but not created in contemplation thereof), as in effect at the time of such acquisition, merger, consolidation or transaction (except to the extent that such Indebtedness was incurred to finance, or otherwise in connection with, such acquisition, merger, consolidation or transaction); provided that for purposes of this Section 4.05(b), if a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary is the successor company with respect thereto, any Subsidiary thereof or agreement or instrument of such Person or any such Subsidiary shall be deemed acquired or assumed, as the case may be, by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, when such Person becomes such successor company;

(c) pursuant to an agreement or instrument (a “Refinancing Agreement”) effecting a refinancing of Indebtedness Incurred or outstanding pursuant or relating to, or that otherwise extends, renews, refunds, modifies or replaces, any agreement or instrument referred to in Section 4.05(a) or Section 4.05(b) or this Section 4.05(c) (an “Initial Agreement”) or that is, or is contained in, any amendment, supplement or other modification to an Initial Agreement or Refinancing Agreement (an “Amendment”); provided, however, that the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such Refinancing Agreement or Amendment taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the Holders of the Securities than encumbrances and restrictions contained in the Initial Agreement or Initial Agreements to which such Refinancing Agreement or Amendment relates (as determined in good faith by the Company);

(d) (A) pursuant to any agreement or instrument that restricts in a customary manner the assignment or transfer thereof, or the subletting, assignment or transfer of any property or asset subject thereto, (B) by virtue of any transfer of, agreement to transfer, option or right with respect to, or Lien on, any property or assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture, (C) contained in mortgages, pledges or other security agreements securing Indebtedness or other obligations of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent restricting the transfer of the property or assets subject thereto, (D) pursuant to customary provisions restricting dispositions of real property interests set forth in any reciprocal easement

(e) with respect to any agreement for the direct or indirect disposition of Capital Stock, property or assets of any Person, imposing restrictions with respect to such Person, Capital Stock, property or assets pending the closing of such sale or disposition;

(f) by reason of any applicable law, rule, regulation or order, or required by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their businesses, including any such law, rule, regulation, order or requirement applicable in connection with such Restricted Subsidiary’s status (or the status of any Subsidiary of such Restricted Subsidiary) as a Captive Insurance Subsidiary; or

(g) pursuant to an agreement or instrument (A) relating to any Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.03 (x) if the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such agreement or instrument taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the Holders of the Securities than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the Initial Agreements (as determined in good faith by the Company) or (y) if such encumbrance or restriction is not materially more disadvantageous to the Holders of the Securities than is customary in comparable financings (as determined in good faith by the Company) and either (1) the Company determines in good faith that such encumbrance or restriction shall not materially affect the Company’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the Securities or (2) such encumbrance or restriction applies only if a default occurs in respect of a payment or financial covenant relating to such Indebtedness, (B) relating to any sale of receivables by or Indebtedness of a Foreign Subsidiary or (C) relating to Indebtedness of or a Financing Disposition by or to or in favor of any Special Purpose Entity.

SECTION 4.06. Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any Asset Disposition unless:

(i) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration (including by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at the time of such Asset Disposition at least equal to the fair market value of the shares and assets subject to such

Asset Disposition, as such fair market value may be determined (and shall be determined, to the extent such Asset Disposition or any series of related Asset Dispositions involves aggregate consideration in excess of $50 million) in good faith by the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive (including as to the value of all noncash consideration), such determination being made on the date of contractual agreement to such Asset Disposition;

(ii) in the case of any Asset Disposition (or series of related Asset Dispositions) having a fair market value of $50 million or more, at least 75.0% of the consideration therefor (excluding, in the case of an Asset Disposition (or series of related Asset Dispositions), any consideration by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise, that are not Indebtedness) received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash; and

(iii) an amount equal to 100.0% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition is applied by the Company (or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) as follows:

(A) first, either (x) to the extent the Company elects (or is required by the terms of any Credit Facility Indebtedness, any Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor), to prepay, repay or purchase any such Indebtedness or (in the case of letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments) cash collateralize any such Indebtedness (in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) within 365 days after the later of the date of such Asset Disposition and the date of receipt of such Net Available Cash, or (y) to the extent the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary elects, to invest in Additional Assets (including by means of an investment in Additional Assets by a Restricted Subsidiary with an amount equal to Net Available Cash received by the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary) within 365 days from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition and the date of receipt of such Net Available Cash; provided that the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to have complied with the provisions described in subclause (y) of this Section 4.06(a)(iii)(A) if and to the extent that, within 365 days after the later of the Asset Disposition that generated such Net Available Cash and the date of receipt of such Net Available Cash, the Company has entered into a binding agreement to invest in such Additional Assets with the good faith expectation that such Net Available Cash shall be applied to satisfy such provisions (an “Acceptable Commitment”), and that investment is thereafter completed within 180 days after the end of such 365-day period, or in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Available Cash is applied in connection therewith, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary has entered into another Acceptable Commitment (a “Second Commitment”)

within 180 days of such cancellation or termination and such Net Available Cash is actually applied in such manner within 180 days from the date of the Second Commitment, it being understood that if a Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Available Cash is applied, then such Net Available Cash shall constitute Excess Proceeds;

(B) second, to the extent of the balance of such Net Available Cash after application in accordance with Section 4.06(a)(iii)(A) (such balance, the “Excess Proceeds”), to make an offer to purchase Securities and (to the extent the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary elects, or is required by the terms thereof) to purchase, redeem or repay any other Senior Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, pursuant and subject to the conditions of this Indenture and the agreements governing such other Indebtedness; and

(C) third, to the extent of the balance of such Net Available Cash after application in accordance with Sections 4.06(a)(iii)(A) and 4.06(a)(iii)(B), to fund (to the extent consistent with any other applicable provision of this Indenture) any general corporate purpose (including the repurchase, repayment or other acquisition or retirement of any Subordinated Obligations);

provided, however, that in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to Sections 4.06(a)(iii)(A)(x) or 4.06(a)(iii)(B), the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall retire such Indebtedness and shall cause the related loan commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or purchased; provided further, however, that pending the final application of any such Net Available Cash in accordance with Sections 4.06(a)(iii)(A) or 4.06(a)(iii)(B), the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily invest such Net Available Cash in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.06, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be required to apply any Net Available Cash or equivalent amount in accordance with this Section 4.06 except to the extent that the aggregate Net Available Cash from all Asset Dispositions or equivalent amount that is not applied in accordance with this Section 4.06 exceeds $20 million. If the aggregate principal amount of Securities and/or other Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary validly tendered and not withdrawn (or otherwise subject to purchase, redemption or repayment) in connection with an offer pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(iii)(B) exceeds the Excess Proceeds, the Excess Proceeds shall be apportioned between such Securities and such other Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, with the portion of the Excess Proceeds payable in respect of such Securities to equal the lesser of (x) the Excess Proceeds amount multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of such Securities and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Securities and the outstanding

principal amount of the relevant other Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, and (y) the aggregate principal amount of Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn.

For the purposes of Section 4.06(a)(ii), the following are deemed to be cash: (1) Temporary Cash Investments and Cash Equivalents; (2) the assumption of Indebtedness of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock of the Company) or any Restricted Subsidiary and the release of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from all liability on payment of the principal amount of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Disposition; (3) Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Disposition, to the extent that the Company and each other Restricted Subsidiary are released from any Guarantee of payment of the principal amount of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Disposition; (4) securities received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into Cash Equivalents within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Disposition; (5) consideration consisting of Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; (6) Additional Assets; and (7) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in an Asset Disposition having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (7), not to exceed an aggregate amount at any time outstanding equal to the greater of $175 million and 2.5% of Consolidated Total Assets (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value).

(b) In the event of an Asset Disposition that requires the purchase of Securities pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(iii)(B), the Company shall be required to purchase Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to an offer by the Company for the Securities (the “Offer”) at a purchase price of 100.0% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth in Section 4.06(c). If the aggregate purchase price of the Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer is less than the Net Available Cash allotted to the purchase of Securities, the remaining Net Available Cash shall be available to the Company for use in accordance with Section 4.06(a)(iii)(B) (to repay other Senior Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) or Section 4.06(a)(iii)(C), and the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero. The Company shall not be required to make an Offer for Securities pursuant to this Section 4.06 if the Net Available Cash available therefor (after application of the proceeds as provided in Section 4.06(a)(iii)(A)) is less than $50 million for any particular Asset Disposition (which lesser amounts shall be carried forward for purposes of determining whether an Offer is required with respect to the Net Available Cash from any subsequent Asset Disposition), and the Company shall commence such Offer within 20 days after such Net Available Cash equals or exceeds $50 million. No Security shall be purchased in part if less than the Minimum Denomination in principal amount of such Security would be left outstanding.

(c) (i) Promptly, and in any event within 20 days after the Company becomes obligated to make an Offer pursuant to this Section 4.06, the Company shall be obligated to deliver to the Trustee, and to each Holder in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary (or, if the Securities are then certificated, to each Holder’s registered address), a written notice stating that the Holder may elect to have its Securities purchased by the Company either in whole or in part (subject to prorating as described in Section 4.06(c)(iii) in the event the Offer is oversubscribed) in integral multiples of $2,000 of principal amount or any whole integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, at the applicable purchase price. The notice shall specify (A) that an Asset Disposition that requires the purchase of a portion of the Securities has occurred and that such Holder has the right (subject to prorating) to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 100.0% of their principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase (the “Purchase Date”), subject to the right of Holders of record on a record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date; (B) a Purchase Date not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice; (C) the instructions determined by the Company, consistent with this Section 4.06, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Securities purchased; and (D) the amount of the Offer (the “Offer Amount”).

(ii) Not later than the date upon which written notice of an Offer is delivered to the Trustee and each Holder as provided in Section 4.06(c), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate as to (A) the Offer Amount and information as to any other Senior Indebtedness included in the Offer, (B) the allocation of the Net Available Cash from the Asset Dispositions pursuant to which such Offer is being made and (C) the compliance of such allocation with the provisions of Section 4.06(a). On such date, the Company shall also irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with a paying agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, segregate and hold in trust) an amount equal to the Offer Amount to be invested in Temporary Cash Investments and to be held for payment in accordance with the provisions of this Section. If the Offer includes other Senior Indebtedness, the deposit described in the preceding sentence may be made with any other paying agent pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee. Upon the expiration of the period for which the Offer remains open (the “Offer Period”), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation the Securities or portions thereof that have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the Company. The Trustee (or the Paying Agent, if not the Trustee) shall, on the Purchase Date, mail or deliver payment (or cause the delivery of payment) to each tendering Holder in the amount of the purchase price, from the amount deposited with it by the Company. In the event that the Offer Amount delivered by the Company to the Trustee (together with any investment earnings received from the investment thereof in Temporary Cash Investments) is greater than the purchase price of the Securities tendered, the Trustee shall deliver the excess to the Company immediately after the expiration of the Offer Period for application in accordance with this Section 4.06.

(iii) Holders electing to have a Security purchased shall be required to surrender the Security, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company

at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the Purchase Date. Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Company receives not later than one Business Day prior to the Purchase Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Security which was delivered by the Holder for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Security purchased. If at the expiration of the Offer Period the aggregate principal amount of Securities included in the Offer surrendered by Holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Company shall select the Securities to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Securities in denominations of $2,000, or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased). Holders whose Securities are purchased only in part shall be issued new Securities equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered; provided that each such new Security shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Any Security not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or otherwise delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary (or, if the Securities are then certificated, to such Holder’s registered address).

(iv) At the time the Company delivers Securities to the Trustee which are to be accepted for purchase, the Company shall also deliver an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Securities are to be accepted by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.06. A Security shall be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the Trustee, directly or through an agent, mails or delivers payment therefor to the surrendering Holder.

(d) The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the purchase of Securities pursuant to this Section 4.06. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.06, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.06 by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations.

SECTION 4.07. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any transaction or series of related transactions (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of the Company (an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10 million unless (i) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are not materially less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could be obtained at the time in a transaction with a Person who is not such an Affiliate and (ii) if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate consideration in excess of $20 million, the terms of such Affiliate Transaction have been approved by a majority of the Board of Directors. Any

Affiliate Transaction shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements set forth in this Section 4.07(a) if (A) such Affiliate Transaction is approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors or (B) in the event there are no Disinterested Directors, a fairness opinion is provided by a nationally recognized appraisal or investment banking firm with respect to such Affiliate Transaction.

(b) Section 4.07(a) shall not apply to:

(i) any Restricted Payment Transaction;

(ii)(A) the entering into, maintaining or performance of any employment or consulting contract, collective bargaining agreement, benefit plan, program or arrangement, related trust agreement or any other similar arrangement for or with any current or former employee, officer, director, manager or consultant of or to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary heretofore or hereafter entered into in the ordinary course of business, including vacation, health, insurance, deferred compensation, severance, retirement, savings or other similar plans, programs or arrangements, (B) payments, compensation, performance of indemnification or contribution obligations, the making or cancellation of loans in the ordinary course of business to any such employees, officers, directors, managers or consultants, (C) any issuance, grant or award of stock, options, other equity-related interests or other securities, to any such employees, officers, directors, managers or consultants, (D) the payment of reasonable fees to directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as determined in good faith by the Company or such Subsidiary) or (E) Management Advances and payments in respect thereof (or in reimbursement of any expenses referred to in the definition of such term);

(iii) any transaction between or among any of the Company, one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or one or more Special Purpose Entities;

(iv) any transaction arising out of agreements or instruments in existence on the Issue Date, as such agreements or instruments may be amended, modified, supplemented, extended or renewed from time to time (provided that any such amendment, modification, supplement, extension or renewal taken as a whole is not materially less favorable to the Holders of the Securities than the terms of such agreement or instrument in existence on the Issue Date (as determined in good faith by the Company)); and any payments made pursuant thereto;

(v) any transaction in the ordinary course of business on terms that are fair to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors or senior management of the Company, or are not materially less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could be obtained at the time in a transaction with a Person who is not an Affiliate of the Company;

(vi) any transaction in the ordinary course of business, or approved by a majority of the Board of Directors, between the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and any Affiliate of the Company controlled by the Company that is a joint venture or similar entity;

(vii) the execution, delivery and performance of the CD&R Investment Agreement, the CD&R Certificate of Designations and the CD&R Registration Rights Agreement;

(viii) the Transactions, all transactions in connection therewith (including the financing thereof), and all fees and expenses paid or payable in connection with the Transactions; and

(ix) any issuance or sale of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company or any capital contribution to the Company.

SECTION 4.08. Change of Control. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Securities shall have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase all or any part of such Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in accordance with the terms contemplated by Section 4.08(b).

(b) Unless the Issuer has exercised its right to redeem all of the Securities as described under Article 3 of this Indenture and Section 5 of the Securities, the Issuer shall, not later than 30 days following the date the Issuer obtains actual knowledge of any Change of Control having occurred, mail or otherwise deliver in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary a notice (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee stating:

(i) that a Change of Control has occurred or may occur and that such Holder has, or upon such occurrence shall have, the right to require the Issuer to repurchase such Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date);

(ii) the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or otherwise delivered);

(iii) the instructions determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Section 4.08, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Securities repurchased; and

(iv) if such notice is mailed or otherwise delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, that such offer is conditioned on the occurrence of such Change of Control.

No Security shall be repurchased in part if less than the Minimum Denomination in principal amount of such Security would be left outstanding.

(c) Holders electing to have a Security purchased shall be required to surrender the Security, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Issuer at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Issuer receives not later than one Business Day prior to the purchase date a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Security which was delivered for purchase by the Holder and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Security purchased. Holders whose Securities are purchased only in part shall be issued new Securities equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered.

(d) On the repurchase date, all Securities purchased by the Issuer under this Section 4.08 shall be delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuer shall pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Holders entitled thereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.08, 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 Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.08, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement that if fully performed would result in a Change of Control is in effect at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.

(g) At the time the Issuer delivers Securities to the Trustee which are to be accepted for purchase, the Issuer shall also deliver an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Securities are to be accepted by the Issuer pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.08. A Security shall be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the Trustee, directly or through an agent, mails or delivers payment therefor to the surrendering Holder.

(h) Prior to any Change of Control Offer, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent contained herein to the right of the Issuer to make such offer have been complied with.

(i) The Issuer shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Securities pursuant to this Section 4.08.

provisions of this Section 4.08, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.08 by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations.

(j) If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities validly tender and do not withdraw such Securities in a Change of Control Offer and the Issuer, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuer pursuant to Section 4.08(e), repurchases all of the Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer or such third party shall have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice; provided that such notice is given not more than 30 days following such repurchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, to redeem all Securities that remain outstanding following such repurchase at a price in cash equal to 101.0% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the date of redemption.

SECTION 4.09. Compliance Certificate. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer commencing with the Issuer’s fiscal year ending September 30, 2017, an Officer’s Certificate stating that in the course of the performance by the signer of his or her duties as an Officer of the Issuer that he or she would normally have knowledge of any Default and whether, to the best knowledge of such signer (on behalf of the Issuer) the Issuer is in Default (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Issuer shall be in Default, specifying all such Defaults and the nature and status thereof of which such signer may have knowledge.

SECTION 4.10. Future Subsidiary Guarantors. From and after the Assumption, the Company shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Foreign Subsidiary) that Incurs (including by Guarantee) any Indebtedness under the Senior Term Facility (or any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) or any capital market Indebtedness to execute and deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days thereafter, a supplemental indenture or other instrument pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall guarantee payment of the Securities, whereupon such Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor for all purposes under this Indenture. In addition, the Company may cause any Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor so to guarantee payment of the Securities and become a Subsidiary Guarantor.

SECTION 4.11. Limitation on Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any of its property or assets (including Capital Stock of any other Person), whether owned on the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, securing any Indebtedness (the “Initial Lien”), unless contemporaneously therewith effective provision is made to secure the Indebtedness due under this Indenture and the Securities or, in respect of Liens on any Restricted Subsidiary’s property or assets, any Subsidiary Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, equally and ratably with (or on a senior basis to, in the case of Subordinated Obligations) such obligation for so long as such obligation is so secured by such Initial Lien. Any such Lien thereby created in favor of the Securities or any such Subsidiary Guarantee shall be automatically and

unconditionally released and discharged upon (a) the release and discharge of the Initial Lien to which it relates, (b) in the case of any such Lien in favor of any such Subsidiary Guarantee, upon the termination and discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or (c) any sale, exchange or transfer (other than a transfer constituting a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor that is governed by the provisions of Article 5) to any Person not an Affiliate of the Company of the property or assets secured by such Initial Lien, or of all of the Capital Stock held by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in, or all or substantially all the assets of, any Restricted Subsidiary creating such Initial Lien.

SECTION 4.12. Suspension of Covenants. (a) If on any day following the Assumption Date (i) the Securities have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies, and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, then, beginning on that day, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.12, the covenants described in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.10 and 5.01(a)(iii) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”) shall be suspended.

(b) During any period that any covenants have been suspended pursuant to Section 4.12(a), the Board of Directors may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries unless such designation would have complied with Section 4.04 as if such covenant would have been in effect during such period.

(c) If on any date subsequent to a suspension pursuant to Section 4.12(a) one or both of the Rating Agencies downgrade the ratings assigned to the Securities below an Investment Grade Rating, all the Suspended Covenants shall be reinstated as of and from the date of such rating decline (any such date, a “Reversion Date”), subject to the Company obtaining the requisite ratings set forth in Section 4.12(a) at a subsequent date. The period of time between the suspension of covenants pursuant to Section 4.12(a) and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.” Upon such reinstatement, all Indebtedness Incurred during the Suspension Period shall be deemed to have been Incurred under Section 4.03(b)(iii). With respect to Restricted Payments made after any such reinstatement, the amount of Restricted Payments shall be calculated as if Section 4.04 had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period. For purposes of Section 4.06, upon the occurrence of a Reversion Date the amount of Net Available Cash not applied in accordance with such Section shall be deemed to be reset to zero. In addition, for purposes of Section 4.07, all agreements and arrangements entered into by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary with an Affiliate of the Company during the Suspension Period prior to such Reversion Date shall be deemed to have been entered into on or prior to the Issue Date, and for purposes of Section 4.05, all contracts entered into during the Suspension Period prior to such Reversion Date that contain any of the encumbrances or restrictions subject to such Section shall be deemed to have been existing on the Issue Date.

(d) During the Suspension Period, any reference in the definitions of “Permitted Liens” and “Unrestricted Subsidiary” to Section 4.03 or any provision thereof shall be construed as if such Section were in effect during the Suspension Period.

(e) Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of any actions taken by the Company or any Subsidiary (including for the avoidance of doubt any failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants) or other events that occurred during any Suspension Period (or upon termination of the Suspension Period or after that time arising out of events that occurred or actions taken during the Suspension Period) and the Company and any Subsidiary shall be permitted, without causing a Default or Event of Default or breach of any kind under this Indenture, to honor, comply with or otherwise perform any contractual commitments or obligations entered into during a Suspension Period following a Reversion Date and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.

SECTION 4.13. Escrow of Proceeds. (a) If the conditions to the Escrow Release set forth in Section 4.13(b) shall not be satisfied substantially concurrently with the execution of this Indenture, on the Issue Date, the Escrow Issuer shall enter into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with the Trustee and U.S. Bank National Association, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), pursuant to which the Escrow Issuer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on the Issue Date in a segregated escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) with the Escrow Agent (collectively, with any other property from time to time held by the Escrow Agent for the benefit of Holders, the “Escrowed Property”): (i) an amount equal to the net proceeds from the offering of the Securities and (ii) an additional amount in cash that, when taken together with the net proceeds of the offering of the Securities deposited into the Escrow Account, is equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of the Securities plus the amount of interest that will accrue on the Securities through October 31, 2017. In addition, the Escrow Agreement shall provide that on or prior to the date that is five Business Days prior to the last day of each month, from and including October 2017 through and including July 2018 (in each case, unless the Escrow Release has occurred), the Escrow Issuer shall deposit, or the Company shall cause to be deposited, into the Escrow Account an amount in cash equal to the amount of interest that shall accrue on the Securities from (and including) the first day of the following month through (and including) the last day of such following month. In the event that the conditions to the Escrow Release have not been satisfied on or prior to February 28, 2018, the Escrow Agreement shall require the Escrow Issuer to deposit, or the Company to cause to be deposited, into the Escrow Account on March 1, 2018 an additional amount of cash that, when taken together with the Escrowed Property (excluding amounts deposited in respect of prefunded interest) then held in the Escrow Account, is equal to 101.0% of the principal amount of the Securities. If the Acquisition closes substantially concurrently with the execution of this Indenture, then, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, the Escrow Account arrangements described herein shall not be implemented and the Securities shall not be subject to the Special Mandatory Redemption provisions set forth on the reverse side of the Security.

(b) Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Escrowed Property shall be released to the Company (the “Escrow Release”; the date of such Escrow Release, the “Escrow Release Date”), substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Acquisition; provided, however, that, on or prior to the Outside Date, the Escrow Agent shall have received from the Company an Officer’s Certificate reasonably acceptable to the Escrow Agent to the effect that:

(i) all of the conditions precedent to the consummation of the Acquisition have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Acquisition) and the Escrowed Property shall be used on a substantially concurrent basis by the Company to consummate the Acquisition in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement as in effect on the Issue Date, together with any amendment, modification or waiver thereof that is not materially adverse to the Holders;

(ii) all of the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of, and borrowings under, the Senior Credit Facilities have been satisfied or waived (other than the release of the Escrowed Property), and prior to or substantially concurrently with the release of the Escrowed Property, the borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities to be drawn in connection with the Acquisition shall be available on the Escrow Release Date; and

(iii) prior to or substantially concurrently with the Escrow Release, each of the Escrow Merger and the Assumption shall be consummated.

(c) The Escrow Issuer shall only be entitled to direct the Escrow Agent to release the Escrowed Property in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Release shall occur promptly upon the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.13(b). Upon the occurrence of the Escrow Release, the Escrow Account shall be reduced to zero and the Escrowed Property and interest accrued thereon from the date of deposit shall be paid out in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(d) From the Issue Date until the Escrow Release, the Trustee shall, for the benefit of the Holders, be granted an exclusive first-priority Lien in the Escrowed Property. Upon the Escrow Release, such Lien of the Trustee on the Escrowed Property shall be automatically extinguished. The ability of the Holders to realize upon the Escrowed Property may be subject to certain bankruptcy law limitations in the event of a bankruptcy of the Escrow Issuer.

SECTION 4.14. Activities Prior to the Escrow Release. (a) Prior to the Escrow Merger, the activities of the Escrow Issuer shall be restricted to issuing the Securities, performing its obligations in respect of the Securities under this Indenture, the Purchase Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, instructing the Escrow Agent with respect to the investment of the Escrowed Property in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, consummating the Escrow Merger, redeeming the Securities on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, if applicable, and conducting such other activities as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the foregoing activities. The Escrow Issuer shall not own, hold or otherwise have any interest in any assets other than the Escrowed Property.

(b) Prior to the Escrow Merger, the Escrow Issuer shall not engage in any business operations or other activities, including incurring Indebtedness, making

Restricted Payments, consummating Asset Dispositions, entering into Affiliate Transactions or incurring or permitting to exist any Lien on any of its properties, other than those contemplated in Section 4.14(a).

(c) To the extent the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company has incurred Indebtedness, made any Restricted Payments, consummated any Asset Disposition, entered into any Affiliate Transactions, incurred or permitted to exist any Lien on any of its properties or otherwise taken any action or engaged in any activities during the period beginning on the Issue Date and ending on the Assumption Date, such actions and activities shall be treated and classified hereunder as if this Indenture and the covenants set forth herein had applied to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries during such period, except for any covenant herein which, by its terms, is incapable of being complied with by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries prior to the Assumption Date.

ARTICLE 5

Merger and Consolidation

SECTION 5.01. When Company and Subsidiary Guarantors May Merge or Transfer Assets. (a) The Company shall not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its assets to, any Person, unless:

(i) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”) shall be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and the Successor Company (if not the Company) shall expressly assume all the obligations of the Company under the Securities and this Indenture by executing and delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and a supplemental indenture or one or more other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee;

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

(iii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, either (A) the Company (or, if applicable, the Successor Company with respect thereto) could Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or (B) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the Company (or, if applicable, the Successor Company with respect thereto) would equal or exceed the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the Company immediately prior to giving effect to such transaction;

(iv) each Subsidiary Guarantor (other than (A) any Subsidiary Guarantor that shall be released from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee in

connection with such transaction and (B) any party to any such consolidation or merger, which, in the case of this Section 5.01(a)(iv)(B), Section 5.01(f) shall apply) shall have delivered an Officer’s Certificate and a supplemental indenture or other document or instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, confirming its Subsidiary Guarantee (other than any Subsidiary Guarantee that shall be discharged or terminated in connection with such transaction); and

(v) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each to the effect that such consolidation, merger or transfer complies with the provisions described in this Section 5.01(a); provided that (A) in giving such opinion such counsel may rely on an Officer’s Certificate as to compliance with the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii) and as to any matters of fact, and (B) no Opinion of Counsel shall be required for a consolidation, merger or transfer described in Section 5.01(d).

(b) Any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (or that is deemed to be Incurred by any Restricted Subsidiary that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary) as a result of any such transaction undertaken in compliance with Section 5.01(a), and any Refinancing Indebtedness with respect thereto, shall be deemed to have been Incurred in compliance with Section 4.03.

(c) Upon any transaction involving the Company in accordance with Section 5.01(a) in which the Company is not the Successor Company, the Successor Company shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture, and thereafter the predecessor Company shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture, except that the predecessor Company in the case of a lease of all or substantially all its assets shall not be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Securities.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consummation of the Escrow Merger shall be permitted under this Indenture; provided, however, that the Company has assumed, or substantially concurrently with the Escrow Release shall assume, all of the obligations of the Escrow Issuer under the Securities and this Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall have, by execution of the Assumption Supplemental Indenture, become, or substantially concurrently with the Escrow Release shall become, parties to this Indenture.

(e) Sections 5.01(a)(ii) and 5.01(a)(iii) shall not apply to any transaction in which the Company consolidates or merges with or into or transfers all or substantially all its properties and assets to (i) an Affiliate incorporated or organized for the purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing the Company in another jurisdiction or changing its legal structure to an entity other than a corporation or (ii) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company so long as all assets of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction (other than Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary) are owned by such Restricted Subsidiary and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately after the consummation thereof. Section 5.01(a) shall not apply to (A) any transaction in which any Restricted Subsidiary consolidates with, merges into or transfers all or part of its assets to the Company or (B) the Transactions.

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

(C) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each to the effect that such consolidation, merger or transfer complies with the provisions described in this Section 5.01(f); provided that (x) in giving such opinion such counsel may rely on an Officer’s Certificate as to compliance with the foregoing clause (ii) and as to any matters of fact, and (y) no Opinion of Counsel shall be required for a consolidation, merger or transfer described in Section 5.01(h); or

(ii) such transaction is made in compliance with Section 4.06.

(g) Upon any transaction involving a Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with Section 5.01(f) (other than a transaction described in clause (ii) thereof) in which such Subsidiary Guarantor is not the Successor Subsidiary, the Successor Subsidiary shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture and the related Subsidiary Guarantee, and thereafter the predecessor Subsidiary Guarantor shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the related Subsidiary Guarantee, except that the predecessor Subsidiary Guarantor in the case of a lease of all or substantially all its assets shall not be released from the Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 5.01(f) shall not apply to any transaction in which any Subsidiary Guarantor consolidates with, merges into or transfers all or part of its assets to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor.

SECTION 5.02. Assumption. Prior to the consummation of the Acquisition and the Escrow Merger, the Escrow Issuer shall be a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company. Substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Acquisition and the Escrow Merger, the Company shall assume all of the obligations of the Escrow Issuer under the Securities and this Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall become party to this Indenture, in each case pursuant to the Assumption Supplemental Indenture. At such time, (i) the Company shall become a party to this Indenture as the “Issuer” and shall have all of the rights and be subject to all of the obligations and agreements of the Issuer under the Securities and this Indenture and (ii) the Subsidiary Guarantee of each Subsidiary Guarantor shall become effective and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall become a party to this Indenture as a Subsidiary Guarantor and as such shall have all of the rights and be subject to all of the obligations of a Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture.

ARTICLE 6

Defaults and Remedies

SECTION 6.01. Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs as a result of:

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

(b) a default in the payment of principal of any Security when the same becomes due and payable, whether at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise;

(d) the failure by the Issuer to comply with any of its obligations under Section 4.08 (other than a failure to repurchase Securities, which constitutes an Event of Default under Section 6.01(b)), and such default continues for a period of 30 days after the notice thereof specified below;

(e) the failure by the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor to comply with its respective other covenants or agreements contained in the Securities or this Indenture (other than a default referred to in Section 6.01(a) through (d)), and such default continues for a period of 60 days after the notice thereof specified below;

(f) the failure by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to pay any Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary) within any applicable grace period after final maturity or the acceleration of any such Indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a default, if the total amount of such Indebtedness so unpaid or accelerated exceeds $50 million or its foreign currency equivalent; provided that this Default and Event of Default each 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 the Indebtedness that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged, the holders of such Indebtedness have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured;

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

(A) commences a voluntary case;

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

(D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;

or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency;

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

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

(B) appoints a Custodian of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary or for any substantial part of its property; or

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days;

(i) the rendering of any judgment or decree for the payment of money in an amount (net of amounts paid or fully covered by independent third party insurance as to which the relevant insurance company does not dispute coverage) in excess of $50 million

or its foreign currency equivalent against the Issuer or a Significant Subsidiary that is not discharged, or bonded or insured by a third Person, if such judgment or decree remains outstanding for a period of 90 days following such judgment or decree and is not discharged, waived or stayed;

(j) the failure of any Subsidiary Guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms thereof or of this Indenture) or the denial or disaffirmation in writing by any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary of its obligations under this Indenture or any Subsidiary Guarantee (other than by reason of the termination of this Indenture or such Subsidiary Guarantee or the release of such Subsidiary Guarantee in accordance with such Subsidiary Guarantee or this Indenture); or

(k) the failure of the Issuer to pay or cause to be paid the Special Mandatory Redemption Price on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, if any, as described in the Special Mandatory Redemption provisions set forth on the reverse side of the Security.

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

A Default under Sections 6.01(d) or 6.01(e) shall not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30.0% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities notify the Issuer in writing of the Default (simultaneously sending a copy of such notice to the Trustee, in the case of a notice sent by Holders) and the Issuer or the Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, does not cure such Default within the time specified in such Section after receipt of such notice.

Additionally, a Default under Section 6.01(e) for the failure to deliver any report within the time periods prescribed in Section 4.02 or to deliver any notice or certificate required by this Indenture or the Securities shall be deemed to be cured upon the subsequent delivery of any such report, notice or certificate, even though such delivery is not within the prescribed period specified.

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

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or Section 6.01(h) with respect to the Issuer) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by written notice to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 30.0% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities by written notice to the

Issuer and the Trustee, may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or Section 6.01(h) with respect to the Issuer occurs and is continuing, the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities by written notice to the Trustee may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Securities and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of acceleration. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.

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

SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities by written notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default and its consequences except (a) a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on a Security, (b) a Default arising from the failure to redeem or purchase any Security when required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, (c) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected or (d) a Default the waiver of which would constitute a material change in the Special Mandatory Redemption provisions set forth on the reverse side of the Security. When a Default is waived, any Event of Default arising therefrom is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any consequent right.

SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification or security satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses, liabilities and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. (a) Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless:

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

(ii) Holders of at least 30.0% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities have made a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(iii) such Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense;

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

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

(b) A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. In the event that the Definitive Securities are not issued to any beneficial owner promptly after the Registrar has received a request from the Holder of a Global Security to issue such Definitive Securities to such beneficial owner of its nominee, the Company expressly agrees and acknowledges, with respect to the right of any Holder to pursue a remedy pursuant to this Indenture, the right of such beneficial holder of Securities to pursue such remedy with respect to the portion of the Global Security that represents such beneficial holder’s Securities as if such Definitive Securities had been issued.

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

SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any other obligor on the Securities for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on overdue principal and (to the extent lawful) on any unpaid interest at the rate provided for in the Securities) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.06.

SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor, their creditors or their property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06.

SECTION 6.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.06;

SECOND: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for principal and interest, ratably, and Applicable Premium (if any), ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal and interest and Applicable Premium (if any), respectively; and

THIRD: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct, including a Subsidiary Guarantor, if applicable.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. At least 15 days before such record date, the Company shall mail or otherwise deliver to each Holder in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary (or, if the Securities are then certificated, to each Holder’s registered address) and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities.

SECTION 6.12. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor (to the extent it may lawfully do so) shall 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 the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

ARTICLE 7

Trustee

SECTION 7.01. Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.

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

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

(h) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.01.

(c) The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care.

(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or negligence.

SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Section 7.09.

SECTION 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, any Subsidiary Guarantee or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Securities or in the Securities other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default under Sections 6.01(c), 6.01(d), 6.01(e), 6.01(f), 6.01(g), 6.01(h), 6.01(i) or 6.01(j) or of the identity of any Significant Subsidiary unless either (a) a Trust Officer shall have actual knowledge thereof or (b) the Trustee shall have received notice thereof in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof from the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Holder.

SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the Trustee, subject to the following sentence, the Trustee shall mail or otherwise deliver to each Holder in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, on, any Security, the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as its Trust Officer in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders.

SECTION 7.06. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services as agreed by the Company and the Trustee. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor, jointly and severally shall indemnify the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents (each, a “Trustee Indemnified Party”) for and from, and hold them harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damages, claims, taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee) or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) paid or incurred by or in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that any failure so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The

Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability, damage, claim, tax or expense incurred by an indemnified party through such party’s own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.06, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Securities.

The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.06 shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture, any rejection or termination of this Indenture under any Bankruptcy Law or the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or Section 6.01(h) with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 7.07. Replacement of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Company shall remove the Trustee if:

(i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09;

(ii) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

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

(iv) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

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

(c) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail or otherwise deliver to each Holder in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary a notice of its succession. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.06.

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

(e) If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09, any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(f) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.06 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

SECTION 7.08. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

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

SECTION 7.09. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

SECTION 8.01. Discharge of Liability on Securities; Defeasance.

(a) Subject to Section 8.01(c), this Indenture and the Securities shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect when:

(i) either

(A) all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (x) Securities that have been lost, stolen or destroyed and that have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.07 and (y) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 8.04) have been cancelled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(B) all such Securities not theretofore cancelled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation:

(x) have become due and payable, or

(y) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or

(z) have been or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer,

(ii) the Issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited in trust with the Trustee cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof, sufficient (without reinvestment) to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on such Securities not previously cancelled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal, premium, if any, and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities that have become due and payable), or to the Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be (provided that if such redemption shall be pursuant to the fourth paragraph of Section 5 of the Securities, (A) the amount of cash or U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, that the Issuer must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited shall be determined using an assumed Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of such deposit, as calculated on behalf of the Issuer by a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants and (B) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited additional cash in trust on the Redemption Date, as required by Section 3.05, as necessary to pay the Applicable Premium as determined on such date);

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

(iv) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each to the effect that all conditions precedent provided for in this Section 8.01(a) relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with; provided that any such counsel may rely on any Officer’s Certificate as to matters of fact (including as to compliance with the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)).

(b) Subject to Sections 8.01(c) and 8.02, the Issuer at any time may terminate (i) all of its obligations under the Securities and this Indenture (the “legal defeasance option”) or (ii) its obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.10 and 4.11 and the operation of Sections 6.01(d), 6.01(e), 6.01(f), 6.01(g), 6.01(h) (but, in the case of Sections 6.01(g) and 6.01(h), with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries), 6.01(i) and 6.01(j) and the limitations contained in Sections 5.01(a)(iii), 5.01(a)(iv), 5.01(a)(v) and 5.01(f) (the “covenant defeasance option”). The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option.

If the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto. If the Issuer exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(d), 6.01(e), 6.01(f), 6.01(g), 6.01(h) (but, in the case of Sections 6.01(g) and 6.01(h), with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries), 6.01(i) or 6.01(j), or because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with Sections 5.01(a)(iii), 5.01(a)(iv), 5.01(a)(v) or 5.01(f). If the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from all of its obligations with respect to its Subsidiary Guarantee.

Thereafter, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 7.06, 8.04 and 8.05 shall survive.

SECTION 8.02. Conditions to Defeasance. (a) The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option only if:

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

(iii) such deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default or Event of Default under, this Indenture (other than under this Indenture resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit or any similar or simultaneous deposit relating to other indebtedness, and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which it is bound;

(iv) in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm to the effect that, the Holders of the outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such legal defeasance and will be subject to 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;

(v) in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of the outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to 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; and

(vi) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the legal defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, as contemplated by this Article 8 have been complied with.

(b) Before or after a deposit, the Issuer may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Securities at a future date in accordance with Article 3.

SECTION 8.03. Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article 8.

SECTION 8.04. Repayment to Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Company upon request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in this Article 8 which, in the written opinion of nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants delivered to the Trustee (which delivery shall only be required if U.S. Government Obligations have been so deposited), are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent discharge or defeasance in accordance with this Article 8.

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

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

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and each Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture, each Guarantee and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 8 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8; provided, however, that, if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium on, or interest on any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 9

of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities by written notice to the Trustee (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Securities) may waive any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor with any provision of this Indenture, the Securities or any Subsidiary Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02(a), without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Security affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, may not:

(c) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer shall deliver to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment, supplement or waiver. However, the failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02.

SECTION 9.03. Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. (a) A consent to an amendment, supplement or a waiver by a Holder of a Security shall bind

the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Security or portion of the Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective upon the (i) receipt by the Issuer or the Trustee of the requisite number of consents, (ii) satisfaction of conditions to effectiveness as set forth in this Indenture and any indenture supplemental hereto containing such amendment, supplement or waiver and (iii) execution of such amendment, supplement or waiver (or supplemental indenture) by the Issuer and the Trustee.

No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date.

SECTION 9.04. Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Security shall not affect the validity of such amendment.

SECTION 9.05. Trustee to Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it.

ARTICLE 10

Subsidiary Guarantees

SECTION 10.01. Guarantee of Each Subsidiary Guarantor. (a) Each Subsidiary Guarantor, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, hereby jointly and severally, irrevocably and fully and unconditionally Guarantees, on an unsecured senior basis, the punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all monetary obligations of the Company under this Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee) and the Securities, whether for principal of (premium, if any) or interest on the Securities, expenses, fees, indemnification or otherwise (all such obligations guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor being herein called the “Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from each such Subsidiary Guarantor, and that each such Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article 10 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any such Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligation. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intent of the Issuer and each Subsidiary Guarantor that each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be a primary obligor with respect to the Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor.

The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including any Guarantee by it of any Credit Facility Indebtedness) and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law, or being void or unenforceable under any law relating to insolvency of debtors.

(b) (i) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that (to the fullest extent permitted by law) its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Indenture, the Securities or the obligations of the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Subsidiary Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same, whether or not a notation concerning its Subsidiary Guarantee is made on the Securities, or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Subsidiary Guarantor.

(ii) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by law) the benefit of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest,

notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that (except as otherwise provided in Section 10.03) its Subsidiary Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Securities, this Indenture and this Subsidiary Guarantee. Such Subsidiary Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees (to the fullest extent permitted by law) that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, subject to this Article 10, (A) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed by its Subsidiary Guarantee may be accelerated as and to the extent provided in Article 6 for the purposes of such Subsidiary Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantee, and (B) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.01 for the purpose of such Subsidiary Guarantee. Neither the Trustee nor any other Person shall have any obligation to enforce or exhaust any rights or remedies or to take any other steps under any security for the Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor or against the Company or any other Person or any property of the Company or any other Person before the Trustee is entitled to demand payment and performance by any or all Subsidiary Guarantors of their obligations under their respective Subsidiary Guarantees or under this Indenture.

(iii) Until terminated in accordance with Section 10.03, each Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, should the Company 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 Company’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 Securities are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on such Securities, 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 Securities 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.

(c) Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall have the right to seek contribution from the Company or any nonpaying Subsidiary Guarantor that has also Guaranteed the relevant Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations in respect of which such payment or distribution is made, so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Subsidiary Guarantees.

(d) Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that its Subsidiary Guarantee, and the waiver set forth in Section 10.04, are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

(e) Each Subsidiary Guarantor, pursuant to its Subsidiary Guarantee, also hereby agrees to pay any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under its Subsidiary Guarantee.

SECTION 10.02. Continuing Guarantees. (a) Each Subsidiary Guarantee shall be a continuing Guarantee and shall (i) subject to Section 10.03, remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the principal amount of all outstanding Securities (whether by payment at maturity, purchase, redemption, defeasance, retirement or other acquisition) and all other Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations then due and owing, (ii) be binding upon such Subsidiary Guarantor and (iii) inure to the benefit of the Trustee, the Holders and their permitted successors, transferees and assigns.

(b) The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment which would otherwise have reduced or terminated the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and under its Subsidiary Guarantee (whether such payment shall have been made by or on behalf of the Company or by or on behalf of a Subsidiary Guarantor) is rescinded or reclaimed from any of the Holders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

SECTION 10.03. Release of Subsidiary Guarantees. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.02, Subsidiary Guarantees shall be subject to termination and discharge under the circumstances described in this Section 10.03. Any Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically and unconditionally be released from all obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee, and such Subsidiary Guarantee shall thereupon terminate and be discharged and of no further force or effect:

(i) concurrently with any direct or indirect sale, transfer or other disposition (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of such Subsidiary Guarantor or any interest therein in accordance with the terms of Section 4.06 by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, following which such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;

(ii) at any time that such Subsidiary Guarantor is released from all of its obligations (including any Guarantee) in respect of any Indebtedness under the Senior Term Facility (and any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) and any capital market Indebtedness (it being understood that a release subject to contingent reinstatement is still a release, and that if any such obligation is so reinstated, such Subsidiary Guarantee shall also be reinstated to the extent that such Subsidiary Guarantor would then be required to provide a Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.10);

(iii) upon the merger or consolidation of any Subsidiary Guarantor with and into the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor that is the surviving Person in such merger or consolidation, or upon the liquidation of such Subsidiary Guarantor following the transfer of all of its assets to the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor;

(iv) concurrently with any Subsidiary Guarantor becoming an Unrestricted Subsidiary;

(v) during the Suspension Period, upon the merger or consolidation of any Subsidiary Guarantor with and into another Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor with such other Subsidiary being the surviving Person in such merger or consolidation, or upon liquidation of such Subsidiary Guarantor following the transfer of all of its assets to a Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor (it being understood that on a Reversion Date, such Subsidiary Guarantee shall also be reinstated to the extent that such Subsidiary would then be required to provide a Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.10);

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

(vii) subject to Section 8.06, upon payment in full of the aggregate principal amount of all Securities then outstanding and all other Subsidiary Guaranteed Obligations then due and owing.

In addition, the Company shall have the right, upon 30 days’ notice to the Trustee, to cause any Subsidiary Guarantor that has not Incurred (including by Guarantee) any Indebtedness under the Senior Term Facility (or any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) or any such capital market Indebtedness to be unconditionally released from all obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee, and such Subsidiary Guarantee shall thereupon automatically terminate and be discharged and of no further force or effect.

Upon any such occurrence specified in this Section 10.03, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably requested by the Company in order to evidence such release, discharge and termination in respect of the applicable Subsidiary Guarantee, subject to receipt of an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel.

SECTION 10.04. Waiver of Subrogation. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Company’s obligations under the Securities and this Indenture or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee and this Indenture, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification, and any right to

participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, until this Indenture is discharged and all of the Securities are discharged and paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Securities shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Subsidiary Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders, and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied upon the Securities, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 10.05. Notation Not Required. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required to make a notation on the Securities to reflect any Subsidiary Guarantee or any release, termination or discharge thereof.

SECTION 10.06. Successors and Assigns of Subsidiary Guarantors. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by each Subsidiary Guarantor shall bind its respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

SECTION 10.07. Execution and Delivery of Subsidiary Guarantees. From and after the Assumption, the Company shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary that is required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.10, and each Subsidiary of the Company that the Company causes to become a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.10, to promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B, or otherwise in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, evidencing its Subsidiary Guarantee on substantially the terms set forth in this Article 10. Concurrently therewith, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary and that, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws now or hereafter in effect affecting creditors’ rights or remedies generally and to general principles of equity (including standards of materiality, good faith, fair dealing and reasonableness), whether considered in a proceeding at law or at equity, such supplemental indenture is a valid and binding agreement of such Restricted Subsidiary, enforceable against such Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with its terms.

2.3 Transfer and Exchange. (a) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Securities. When Definitive Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request:

(i) to register the transfer of such Definitive Securities; or

(ii) to exchange such Definitive Securities for an equal principal amount of Definitive Securities of other authorized denominations,

the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Definitive Securities surrendered for transfer or exchange:

(1) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and

(2) in the case of Transfer Restricted Securities, are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable:

(A) if such Definitive Securities are being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Security); or

(B) if such Definitive Securities are being transferred to the Issuer, a certification to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Security); or

(C) if such Definitive Securities are being transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act or in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, (x) a certification to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Security) and (y) if the Issuer so requests, an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the legend set forth in Section 2.3(e)(i).

(b) Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Security for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Security. A Definitive Security may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Security or a Permanent Regulation S Global Security except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Definitive Security, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar, together with:

(i) certification (in the form set forth on the reverse side of the Security) that such Definitive Security is being transferred (1) to the Issuer, (2) to the Registrar for registration in the name of a Holder, without transfer, (3) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (4) to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A, (5) outside the United States in an offshore transaction within the meaning of Regulation S and in compliance with Rule 904 under the Securities Act, (6) to an IAI that has furnished to the Trustee a signed letter substantially in the form of Exhibit C to this Indenture or (7) pursuant to another available exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and

(ii) written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Securities Custodian to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Rule 144A Global Security or Permanent Regulation S Global Security to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented by the Rule 144A Global Security or Permanent Regulation S Global Security, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such increase,

then the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Security and cause, or direct the Securities Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Securities Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Securities represented by the Rule 144A Global Security or Permanent Regulation S Global Security to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Security to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Security equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Security so canceled. If no Rule 144A Global

Securities or Permanent Regulation S Global Securities are then outstanding and the Rule 144A Global Security or Permanent Regulation S Global Security has not been previously exchanged for certificated securities pursuant to Section 2.4, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officer’s Certificate, a new Rule 144A Global Security or Permanent Regulation S Global Security in the appropriate principal amount.

(c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities. (i) The transfer and exchange of Global Securities or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with this Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Security shall deliver a written order given in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in such Global Security or another Global Security and such account shall be credited in accordance with such order with a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Security and the account of the Person making the transfer shall be debited by an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Global Security being transferred. Transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security or the IAI Global Security to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through the Permanent Regulation S Global Security, whether before or after the expiration of the Restricted Period, shall be made only upon receipt by the Trustee of a certification in the form provided on the reverse of the Securities from the transferor to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Regulation S or (if available) Rule 144 under the Securities Act and that, if such transfer is being made prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, the interest transferred shall be held immediately thereafter through Euroclear or Clearstream. In the case of a transfer of a beneficial interest in either the Permanent Regulation S Global Security or the Rule 144A Global Security for an interest in the IAI Global Security, the transferee must furnish a signed letter substantially in the form of Exhibit C to this Indenture to the Trustee.

(ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Security to a beneficial interest in another Global Security, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Security to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Security 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 Security may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

(iv) In the event that a Global Security is exchanged for Definitive Securities pursuant to Section 2.4, such Securities may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 (including the certification requirements set forth on the reverse of the Securities intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A, Regulation S or such other applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Issuer.

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Issuer, the Trustee and (as applicable) the Subsidiary Guarantors may amend or supplement the Indenture (including the Subsidiary Guarantees) or the Securities (i) to cure any ambiguity, mistake, omission, defect or inconsistency; (ii) to provide for the assumption by a successor of the obligations of the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Indenture, the Securities or any Subsidiary Guarantee; (iii) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities; (iv) to add Guarantees with respect to the Securities; (v) to secure the Securities and any Subsidiary Guarantee; (vi) to evidence a successor Trustee; (vii) to confirm and evidence the release, termination or discharge of any Subsidiary Guarantee or any Lien securing the Securities or any Subsidiary Guarantee when such release, termination or discharge is provided for under the Indenture or the Securities; (viii) to add to the covenants of the Issuer for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor; (ix) to provide for or confirm the issuance of Additional Securities; (x) to conform the text of the Indenture, the Securities or any Subsidiary Guarantee to any provision of the Offering Memorandum contained under the heading “Description of Notes;” (xi) to increase the minimum denomination of Securities to equal the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of €1,000 rounded up to the nearest $1,000 (including for purposes of redemption or repurchase of any Security in part); (xii) to make any change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any Holder; (xiii) to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with any qualification of the Indenture under the TIA or otherwise; or (xiv) to comply with the rules of any applicable depositary.

15. Defaults and Remedies

Under the Indenture, Events of Default include (a) default for 30 days in payment of interest on the Securities; (b) default in payment of principal on the Securities when due, whether at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise; (c) failure by the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor to comply with other agreements in the Indenture or the Securities, in certain cases subject to notice and lapse of time; (d) certain accelerations (including failure to pay within any grace period after final maturity) of other Indebtedness of the Issuer if the amount accelerated (or so unpaid) exceeds $30 million; (e) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer or a Significant Subsidiary; (f) certain judgments or decrees for the payment of money in excess of $30 million; (g) certain defaults with respect to Subsidiary Guarantees; and (h) the failure of the Issuer to pay or cause to be paid the Special Mandatory Redemption Price on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, if any.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 30.0% in principal amount of the Securities by notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may declare all the Securities to be due and payable immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default which shall result in the Securities being due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default.

Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it receives indemnity or security satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders.

16. Trustee Dealings with the Issuer

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

17. No Recourse Against Others

No past, present or future director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner or stockholder, in such capacity, of the Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Subsidiary thereof shall have any liability for any obligation of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Securities, any Subsidiary Guarantee or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations

or their creation. By accepting a Security, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.

18. Authentication

This Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Security.

19. Abbreviations

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act).

20. Governing Law

THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

The Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers and ISINs to be printed on the Securities and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers and ISINs in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

The undersigned represents and warrants to you that:

1. We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor” at least $250,000 principal amount of the Securities, and we are acquiring the Securities not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Securities, and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Securities in the normal course of our business. We, and any accounts for which we are acting, are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment.

2. We understand that the Securities have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Securities to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Securities prior to the date that is one year after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which the Issuer or any affiliate of the Issuer was the owner of such Securities (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only

(a) to the Issuer, (b) pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act, (c) in a transaction complying with the requirements of Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”), to a person we reasonably believe is a qualified institutional buyer under Rule 144A (a “QIB”) that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of a QIB and to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (e) to an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor,” in each case in a minimum principal amount of Securities of $250,000, or (f) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in each of the foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the disposition of our property or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within our or their control and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. The foregoing restrictions on resale shall not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Securities is proposed to be made pursuant to clause (e) above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the Issuer and the Trustee, which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such Securities for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the Issuer and the Trustee reserve the right prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date of the Securities pursuant to clause (d), (e) or (f) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications or other information satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee.
