In the event that either of the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs, assumes, guarantees, repurchases, redeems, retires or extinguishes any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and has not been replaced) or issues, repurchases or redeems Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made (the "Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation Date"), then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, repurchase, redemption, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness, or such issuance, repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.

For purposes of making the computation referred to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, amalgamations, mergers, consolidations and discontinued operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP) and any operational changes that the Issuers or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries have made during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation Date shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, amalgamations, mergers, consolidations, discontinued operations and operational changes (and the change in any associated fixed charge obligations and the change in EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into either of the Issuers or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such period shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, amalgamation, merger, consolidation, discontinued operation or operational change that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, discontinued operation, merger, amalgamation, consolidation or operational change had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to an Investment, acquisition, disposition, amalgamation, merger, consolidation, discontinued operation or operational change, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuers. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Financing Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuers to be the rate of interest implicit in such Financing Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate

14

chosen as the Issuers may reasonably designate in good faith. Interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such indebtedness during the applicable period.

For purposes of this definition, any amount in a currency other than U.S. dollars will be converted to U.S. dollars based on the average exchange rate for such currency for the most recent twelve month period immediately prior to the date of determination in a manner consistent with that used in calculating EBITDA for the applicable period.

(c)The Issuers may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee and without prior notice to any Holder; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) if applicable, acceptance of an appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Issuers and such successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above. The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Issuers and the Trustee; provided, however, that the Trustee may resign as Paying Agent or Registrar only if the Trustee also resigns as Trustee in accordance with Section 7.07.

SECTION 2.05. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. Prior to or on each due date of the principal of and cash interest on any Security, the Issuers shall deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal and cash interest when so becoming due. The Issuers shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that a Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by a Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and cash interest on the Securities, and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuers in making any such payment. The Issuers at any time or, during the continuance of a Default under this Indenture, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section, a Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuers, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Securities.

Prior to or on each due date of PIK Interest on any Security, the Issuers shall direct the Trustee in writing, to either, on the date of such interest payment: (i) increase the amount of the Global Securities (and specify such amount) or (ii) issue PIK Securities to pay any such PIK Interest.

SECTION 2.06. 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 Issuers shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to furnish, to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders.

SECTION 2.07. Transfer and Exchange. The 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 with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if its requirements therefor are met.

34

When Securities are presented to the 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 Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar's request. The Issuers 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. The Issuers shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of any Securities (i) selected for redemption (except, in the case of Securities to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed), (ii) for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed or (iii) between a regular record date and the next succeeding interest payment date.

Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Security, the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the 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 interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and none of the Issuers, any Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Any Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such beneficial interest, agree that transfers of beneficial interests 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 2.08. 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 Issuers shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the New York UCC are met, such that the Holder (a) satisfies the Issuers 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 Issuers or the Trustee prior to the Security being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the New York UCC (a "protected purchaser") and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. Such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of

(i)the Trustee to protect the Trustee or (ii) the Issuers to protect the Issuers, the Trustee, a Paying Agent and the Registrar from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Issuers and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Security (including without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements in replacing such Security). In the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuers in their discretion may pay such Security instead of issuing a new Security in replacement thereof.

Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Issuers.

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

35

SECTION 2.09. 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, those paid pursuant to Section 2.08 and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Subject to Section 12.04, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuers or an Affiliate of the Issuers holds the Security.

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuers receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser.

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

SECTION 2.10. 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 Issuers 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 Issuers consider appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuers shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Securities and make them available for delivery in exchange for temporary Securities upon surrender of such temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Issuers, without charge to the Holder. Until such exchange, temporary Securities shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as Definitive Securities.

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

SECTION 2.12. Defaulted Interest and Additional Interest. If the Issuers default in a payment of interest on the Securities (a "Payment Default"), the Issuers shall pay the defaulted interest then borne by the Securities plus additional interest ("Additional Interest") on the principal amount of the Securities (including PIK Securities) at a rate of 2.0% per annum (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in cash and in any lawful manner. The Issuers may pay the defaulted interest and Additional Interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. Additional Interest shall continue to accrue on the outstanding principal amount of the Securities (including PIK Securities) until, but not including, the date the related Payment Default is cured. The Issuers shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment and shall promptly mail or cause to be sent, or otherwise deliver in accordance with the procedures of DTC, to each affected Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest and Additional Interest to be paid. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted cash interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at

36

the same time the Issuers shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.12.

SECTION 2.13. CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, etc. The Issuers in issuing the Securities may use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and "Common Code" numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and "Common Code" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers, either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities and that any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuers shall promptly advise the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers, ISINs and "Common Code" numbers.

SECTION 2.14. Calculation of Principal Amount of Securities. The aggregate principal amount of the Securities, at any date of determination, shall be the principal amount of the Securities outstanding at such date of determination (including any outstanding PIK Securities and any increased principal amounts as a result of any payment of PIK Interest). With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the Holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Securities, such percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of Securities, the Holders of which have so consented, by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Securities then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, Section 2.09 and Section 12.04 of this Indenture. Any such calculation made pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be made by the Issuers and delivered to the Trustee pursuant to an Officer's Certificate.

SECTION 2.15. Payment of Interest; Issuance of PIK Securities. Interest shall be

(a)payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on February 15, 2021 and (b) computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. On each interest payment date, the Issuers shall pay scheduled payments of interest consisting of interest: (1) payable at a rate per annum of 5.00%, at the option of the Issuers, either (x) in cash or (y) "in-kind" ("PIK Interest") by increasing the principal amount of the Securities outstanding or, with respect to Securities represented by certificated notes, issuing additional PIK Securities and (2) payable at a rate per annum of 5.00%, in the form of PIK Interest only; provided, however, that on August 15, 2025 interest shall be payable at a rate per annum of 10.00% in the form of PIK Interest only. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee whether interest on the Securities shall be paid in cash or in the form of PIK Interest at least five business days prior to any interest payment date.

Any issue of PIK Securities will be secured, equally and ratably, with the Second Lien Notes. At all times, PIK Interest on the Second Lien Notes will be payable (x) with respect to Second Lien Notes represented by one or more Global Securities registered in the name of, or held by, DTC or its nominee on the relevant record date, by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Global Securities by an amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest for the applicable interest period (rounded down to the nearest whole dollar) as provided in a written order from the Issuers to the Trustee, and the Trustee, upon receipt of the written order from the Issuers, will record such increase in such Global Security and (y) with respect to Second Lien Notes represented by Definitive Securities, by issuing PIK Securities in certificated form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest for the applicable interest period (rounded down to the nearest whole dollar), and the Trustee will, upon

37

receipt of an Authentication Order from the Issuers, authenticate and deliver such PIK Securities in certificated form for original issuance to the Holders on the relevant record date, as shown by the records of the register of Holders. Following an increase in the principal amount of any outstanding Global Securities as a result of a payment of PIK Interest, such Global Security will bear interest on such increased principal amount from and after the date of such payment. Any PIK Securities issued in certificated form will be dated as of the applicable interest payment date and will bear interest from and after such date. All PIK Securities issued pursuant to a payment of PIK Interest will be governed by, and subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of, the Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents and shall have the same rights and benefits as the corresponding Second Lien Notes issued on the date of the Indenture. Any certificated PIK Securities will be issued with the description "PIK" on the face of such PIK Security.

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION

SECTION 3.01. Redemption. The Securities may be redeemed, in whole, or from time to time in part, subject to the conditions and at the redemption prices set forth in Section 3.09 hereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest (including PIK Interest) to, but excluding, the redemption date; provided that in the event of a partial redemption of the Securities, at least $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of Securities shall remain outstanding following such partial redemption.

SECTION 3.04. Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed. In the case of any partial redemption or purchase, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed or purchased on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable or, to the extent that selection on a pro rata basis is not practicable, by lot or such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC; provided that no Securities of $250,000 or less shall be redeemed or purchased in part and all redemptions or purchases shall be made in increments of $1.00. 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 $250,000.

Any such notice may provide that redemptions made pursuant to different provisions will have different redemption dates. In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice of redemption shall describe each such condition, and, if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuers' sole discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Issuers in their sole discretion), or that such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived, in the Issuers' sole discretion) by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed, or that such notice may be rescinded at any time in the Issuers' discretion if in the good faith judgment of the Issuers any or all of such conditions will not be satisfied.

The notice, if mailed in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. 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 3.07. Deposit of Redemption Price. With respect to any Securities, prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the Issuers shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuers 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 (including accrued and unpaid PIK Interest, which for the avoidance of doubt shall be paid in cash) 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 Issuers to the Trustee for cancellation.

40

related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest (including PIK Interest, which for the avoidance of doubt shall be paid in cash) to the redemption date shall be paid on the relevant interest payment date to the Person in whose name such Security was registered at the close of business on such record date.

SECTION 3.08. Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Issuers shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Issuers' expense) a new Security equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered; provided that no Securities of $250,000 or less shall be redeemed in part and all redemptions shall be made in increments of $1.00. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, only an Authentication Order and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officer's Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Security.

SECTION 3.09. Optional Redemption. The Securities shall not be redeemable at the option of the Issuers prior to August 15, 2022. On August 15, 2022 or thereafter, the Issuers may redeem the Securities, at their option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon notice in accordance with Section 3.05 hereof, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed), plus accrued and unpaid interest (including PIK Interest, which for the avoidance of doubt shall be paid in cash) thereon to, but not including, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on August 15 of each of the years set forth below:

(xxi)to the extent constituting Indebtedness, all premiums (if any), interest (including post-petition interest), fees, expenses, charges and additional or contingent interest on obligations described in clauses (i) through (xxi) above.

Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or issuance of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 4.03. Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this Section 4.03.

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness or issuance of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, the U.S. dollar- equivalent principal amount or liquidation preference, as applicable, of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. dollar equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is issued, to extend, replace, refund, refinance, renew or defease other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as applicable, denominated in a foreign currency, and such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance 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 extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance, such U.S. dollar-denominated

48

restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount or liquidation preference, as applicable, of such Refinancing Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock does not exceed (x) the principal amount or liquidation preference, as applicable, of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as applicable, being extended replaced, refunded, refinanced, renewed or defeased plus (y) the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums (including tender premiums) and other costs and expenses (including original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees) incurred in connection with such refinancing.

The principal amount of any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as applicable, being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing. The Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is contractually subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness of the Issuers or such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Securities or such Guarantor's Guarantee to the extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Issuers or such Guarantor, as the case may be.

For purposes of this Indenture, Indebtedness that is unsecured is not deemed to be subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured, and senior indebtedness is not deemed to be subordinated or junior to any other senior indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority lien with respect to the same collateral or because it is secured by different collateral or issued or guaranteed by other obligors.

SECTION 4.04. Limitation on Restricted Payments.

(a)The Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly (all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) below being collectively referred to as "Restricted Payments"):

(ii)purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity Interests of the Issuers, any direct or indirect parent of the Issuers or any Subsidiaries, including in connection with any merger or consolidation, in each case held by Persons other than the Issuers or a Restricted Subsidiary;

(iii)make any principal payment on, or redeem, repurchase, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, in each case prior to any scheduled repayment,

sinking fund payment or maturity, any Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary, other than the payment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, acquisition or retirement for value of existing indebtedness listed on Schedule 1 hereto that is Subordinated Indebtedness, with respect to the satisfaction of a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of such payment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, acquisition or retirement; or

(iv)make any Restricted Investment.

(b)Section 4.04(a) shall not prohibit:

(i)(A) any Restricted Payment either (i) in exchange for Qualified Capital Stock of the Issuers or (ii) through the application of the net cash proceeds received by the Issuers from (x) a substantially concurrent sale of Qualified Capital Stock of the Issuers or (y) a contribution to the Capital Stock of the Issuers not representing an interest in Disqualified Stock, in each case, not received from a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuers;

(ii)the voluntary prepayment, purchase, defeasance, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Subordinated Indebtedness solely in exchange for, or through the application of net cash proceeds of a substantially concurrent sale, other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuers, of Refinancing Indebtedness for such Subordinated Indebtedness;

(iii)the payment by the Issuers to Parent of a one-time cash distribution in the amount of $90.0 million on the Issue Date;

(iv)the declaration and payment of dividends or distributions by the Issuers or a Restricted Subsidiary to, or the making of loans or advances to, any of their respective direct or indirect parent companies in amounts required for any direct or indirect parent companies to pay, in each case, for any taxable period in which the Issuers and/or any of their Subsidiaries are members of a consolidated, combined or similar income tax group of which a direct or indirect parent of the Issuers is the common parent (a "Tax Group"), consolidated tax liabilities of such Tax Group that are attributable to the taxable income of the Issuers and/or their Subsidiaries; provided that, for each taxable period, the amount of such payments made in respect of such taxable period in the aggregate shall not exceed the lesser of (1) the amount that the Issuers and their Subsidiaries would have been required to pay in respect of federal, foreign, state and local income taxes in the aggregate if such entities were corporations paying taxes separately from any Tax Group on a standalone basis (it being understood and agreed that if the Issuer or any Subsidiary pays any such federal, foreign, state or local income taxes directly to such taxing authority, that a Restricted Payment in duplication of such amount shall not be permitted to be made pursuant to this clause) and (2) the amount of income taxes actually paid by such Tax Group in respect of such taxable period; and

(v)other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount taken together with all other Restricted Payments made pursuant to this clause (v) not to exceed $1.0 million in any one year period following the Issue Date, with unused amounts carried over to subsequent one year periods.

The amount of any Restricted Payments not in cash will be the Fair Market Value on the date of such Restricted Payment of the property, assets or securities proposed to be paid, transferred or

50

issued by the Issuers or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to such Restricted Payment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Indenture, $10.0 million of proceeds from the sale of First Lien Notes on the Issue Date shall be retained by the Issuers for working capital and general corporate purposes, and may not be distributed, dividend-ed, loaned, invested or otherwise disposed of, including with respect to the Parent or any other Person, at any time.

SECTION 4.05. Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. The Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any such Restricted Subsidiary to:

(a)(i) pay dividends or make any other distributions to the Issuers or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries that is a Guarantor on its Capital Stock or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits; or (ii) pay any Indebtedness owed to the Issuers, in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, to any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor;

(8)restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(9)customary provisions in any joint venture agreement and other similar agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business and, in each case, permitted under this Indenture;

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.05, (1) the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on common stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock and (2) the subordination of loans or advances made to the Issuers or a Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness incurred by the Issuers or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances.

(a)The Issuers shall not, and shall not permit any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale (including a Sale and Lease-Back Transaction), unless:

52

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

(iii)such Asset Sale does not include any intellectual property, permits or licenses (or any rights therein) that are material to the conduct of the business of the Issuers or and their Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(b)Within 60 days after the receipt of Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale which cumulatively, with the Net Proceeds of any previous Assets Sales (excluding any Net Proceeds (i) voluntarily applied to redeem the Securities or the First Lien Notes or that will be applied to redeem the Securities or the First Lien Notes pursuant to an irrevocable notice of redemption issued in accordance with this Indenture or (ii) of ABL Priority Collateral that are required to be applied to repay outstanding Indebtedness under the ABL Credit Agreement), exceeds $5.0 million (the "Asset Sale Offer Threshold"), the Issuers shall make an offer to all Holders of the Securities (an "Asset Sale Offer") to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Securities that is at least $250,000 and an integral multiple of $1.00 in excess thereof with such Net Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, or 100% of the accreted value thereof, if less, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including PIK Interest) to, but not including, the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture.

53

pursuant to the terms of the First Lien Indenture, there remain Net Proceeds exceeding the Asset Sale Offer Threshold.

To the extent that the aggregate amount of Securities tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Asset Sale Offer Threshold, the Issuers may use such Net Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to compliance with other covenants contained in this Indenture and such Net Proceeds shall no longer be included for purposes of determining the Asset Sale Offer Threshold. If the aggregate principal amount of Securities surrendered in an Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of such Net Proceeds with which an Asset Sale Offer is being made, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be purchased in the manner described in Section 3.04. Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company shall deposit such Net Proceeds in an account in which the Collateral Trustee has a perfected security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the applicable Lien priorities described in the Intercreditor Agreements.

The Issuers shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuers shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof.

(k)there is a Default for four Business Days or more by the Issuers in compliance with their obligations under Section 4.14; or

(l)there shall occur and be continuing any "Event of Default" under, and as defined in, the Second Lien Indenture.

In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (d) above, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Securities) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 30 days after such Event of Default arose:

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

65

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

(iii)the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured, waived or is no longer continuing.

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 hereof with respect to the Issuers) occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then total outstanding Securities by notice to the Issuers (with a copy to the Trustee if from the Holders) may declare the principal, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Securities to be due and payable in cash immediately. Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable in cash immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or (h) hereof occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all Second Lien Notes will ipso facto become due and payable in cash immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if the Securities are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to August 15, 2026, in each case, in respect of any Event of Default (including an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)), the Applicable Premium or the redemption price applicable pursuant to Section 3.09 hereof (for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 6.02, the Applicable Premium applies prior to August 15, 2022, and the redemption price applicable pursuant to Section 3.09 hereof applies as of August 15, 2022 or thereafter) with respect to an optional redemption of the Securities (including any other premiums and fees, as applicable) shall also become due and payable immediately, irrespective of whether such obligation (in whole or in part) is paid in cash, or otherwise satisfied or discharged pursuant to a plan of reorganization or otherwise, as though the Securities had been optionally redeemed, and shall constitute part of the Secured Obligations. If the Applicable Premium or applicable redemption price, as applicable, becomes due and payable, it shall be deemed to be principal of the Securities and interest shall accrue on the full principal amount of the Securities (including the Applicable Premium or applicable redemption price and any other fees or premiums, as applicable,) from and after the applicable triggering Event of Default, including in connection with certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuers. The Applicable Premium or applicable redemption price payable pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall be presumed to be liquidated damages sustained by each Holder as the result of the acceleration of the Securities and the Issuers agree that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Applicable Premium or applicable redemption price shall also be payable in cash in the event the Securities or this Indenture are satisfied, released or discharged through foreclosure, whether by judicial proceeding, deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. THE ISSUERS EXPRESSLY WAIVE (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THEY MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE APPLICABLE PREMIUM OR APPLICABLE REDEMPTION PRICE PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 6.02 IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Issuers expressly agree (to the fullest extent they may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Applicable Premium or applicable redemption price is reasonable and is the product of an arm's length transaction between sophisticated business entities ably represented by counsel; (B) the Applicable Premium or applicable redemption price shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time acceleration occurs; (C) there has been a course of conduct between Holders and the Issuers giving specific consideration for such agreement to pay the Applicable Premium or applicable redemption price; (D) the Issuers shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this Section 6.02; and (E) the Applicable Premium or the applicable redemption price represents a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Holders and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual

66

amount of damages to the Holders or profits lost by the Holders as a result of such acceleration. The Issuers expressly acknowledge that their agreement to pay the Applicable Premium or applicable redemption price to Holders as herein described is a material inducement to Holders to purchase the Securities.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities by written notice to the Trustee (with a copy to the Issuers; provided that any rescission under this Section 6.02 shall be valid and binding notwithstanding the failure to provide a copy of such notice to the Issuer) may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences:

(1)if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;

(2)if all existing Events of Default have been cured, waived, annulled or rescinded except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration;

(3)to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid; and

(4)if the Issuers have paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances.

SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, 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. To the extent permitted by law, all available remedies are cumulative.

SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities by written notice to the Trustee (with a copy to the Issuers; provided that any waiver under this Section 6.04 shall be valid and binding notwithstanding the failure to provide a copy of such notice to the Issuers) may on the behalf of all Holders waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences, other than (a) a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest or PIK Interest on, any Security, (b) a Default or Event of Default described in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01, or (c) any Default or Event of Default in respect of any provision of this Indenture or the Securities which, under Section 9.02, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected. When a Default or Event of Default is so waived, it is deemed cured and the Issuers, the Trustee and the Holders will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right.

SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 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

67

or, subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such directions are unduly prejudicial to such Holder) or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

(a)Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest (including PIK 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 that an Event of Default is continuing;

(ii)Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the total outstanding Securities have requested the Trustee, in writing, to pursue the remedy;

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

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

(v)Holders of a majority in principal amount of the total outstanding Securities have not given the Trustee a written 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 (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).

SECTION 6.07. Rights of the Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, 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 be absolute and unconditional and such right 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), (b) or (c) occurs and is continuing with respect to Securities, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuers 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 such 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 (including any claim for reasonable compensation, expenses disbursements and advances of

68

the Trustee (including counsel, accountants, experts or such other professionals as the Trustee deems necessary, advisable or appropriate)) and the Holders of Securities then outstanding allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuers or any Guarantor, its creditors or its property, shall be entitled to participate as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matters and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any custodian 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. Nothing in this Indenture will be deemed to empower the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

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 (acting in any capacity hereunder) for amounts due under Section

7.06;

SECOND: to the Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for principal, premium, if any, and interest (including PIK Interest), ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal, premium, if any, interest (including PIK Interest) and all other amounts owed to the Holders hereunder; and

THIRD: to the Issuers or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

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

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

SECTION 6.12. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. Neither the Issuers nor any 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 Issuers and each Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive 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.

69

ARTICLE 7

TRUSTEE

70

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 Issuers or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent or Registrar may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Section 7.09.

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 Guarantee or the Security Documents or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Issuers' use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuers or any 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 or its agent's certificate of authentication. The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless either (a) a Trust Officer shall have actual knowledge thereof or (b) the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof in accordance with Section

12.01hereof from the Issuers, any Guarantor or any Holder. In accepting the trust hereby created, the

72

Trustee acts solely as Trustee for the Holders and not in its individual capacity and all persons, including without limitation the Holders of Securities and the Issuers having any claim against the Trustee arising from this Indenture shall look only to the funds and accounts held by the Trustee hereunder for payment.

SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default (other than a Default with respect to Section 4.14) occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to a Trust Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall send to each Holder notice of the Default within the earlier of 90 days after it occurs or 30 days after it is actually known to a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by the Trustee, or promptly after discovery or obtaining notice if such discovery is made or notice is received 90 days after the Default occurs. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest (including PIK Interest) on any Security, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders.

SECTION 7.06. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuers, jointly and severally, shall pay to the Trustee (acting in any capacity hereunder) and the Collateral Trustee from time to time such compensation for its services as shall be agreed in writing between the Issuers, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee. The Trustee and the Collateral Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuers, jointly and severally, shall reimburse the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, 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, except any such disbursements, advances or expenses as may be attributable to its gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith as determined by a final nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee's agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuers and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee (acting in any capacity hereunder) and the Collateral Trustee against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture or Guarantee against the Issuers or a Guarantor (including this Section 7.06) and defending itself against or investigating any claim (whether asserted by the Issuers, any Guarantor, any Holder or any other Person). The obligation to pay such amounts shall survive the payment in full or defeasance of the Securities or the removal or resignation of the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee. The Trustee and the Collateral Trustee shall notify the Issuers of any claim for which they may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that any failure to so notify the Issuers shall not relieve the Issuers or any Guarantor of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Issuers shall defend the claim and the indemnified party shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Issuers' expense in the defense. Such indemnified parties may have separate counsel and the Issuers and the Guarantors, as applicable, shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that the Issuers shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if the Issuers assume such indemnified parties' defense and, in such indemnified parties' reasonable judgment, there is no conflict of interest between the Issuers and the Guarantors, as applicable, and such parties in connection with such defense; provided, further that the Issuers shall be required to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel in evaluating such conflict. The Issuers need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by an indemnified party through such party's own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith as determined by a final nonappealable order of court of competent jurisdiction.

To secure the Issuers' and the Guarantors' payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Securities pursuant to Article 8 hereof or otherwise.

73

The Issuers' and the Guarantors' payment obligations pursuant to this Section 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 or the Collateral Trustee. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Issuers, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.

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

SECTION 7.07. Replacement of Trustee or Collateral Trustee.

(a)A resignation or removal of the Trustee or Collateral Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee or Collateral Trustee, as applicable, will become effective only upon the applicable successor Trustee's or Collateral Trustee's acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.07.

(b)The Trustee or Collateral Trustee, as applicable, may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuers. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may remove the Trustee or Collateral Trustee, as applicable, by so notifying the Trustee or Collateral Trustee, as applicable, and the Issuers in writing, and may appoint a successor Trustee or Collateral Trustee, as applicable. The Issuers may remove the Trustee or Collateral Trustee if:

(i)the Trustee or Collateral Trustee, as applicable, fails to comply with

Section 7.09;

(ii)the Trustee or Collateral Trustee, as applicable, is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee or Collateral Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE

SECTION 8.01. Discharge of Liability on Securities; Defeasance. This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all outstanding Securities when either:

(1)(a) all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered, except lost, stolen or destroyed Securities which have been replaced or paid and Securities for whose payment money has

75

theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuers and thereafter repaid to the Issuers or discharged from trust, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(b)(i) all Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise, will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuers and the Issuers or any Guarantor have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities, cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness as determined by the Issuers on the Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to, but not including, the date of maturity or redemption; (ii) the Issuers and/or the Guarantors have paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and (iii) the Issuers have delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Securities at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be;

(c)In addition, the Issuers must deliver an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

(2)Subject to Section 8.02, the Issuers may, at their option and at any time, elect to discharge (i) all of its obligations under the Securities and this Indenture ("legal defeasance option") or (ii) its obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.11, 4.12 and 4.14 for the benefit of the Holders and the operation of Section 5.01 and Sections 6.01(d), 6.01(e), 6.01(f), 6.01(g) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Issuers only), 6.01(h) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Issuers only) and 6.01(i) ("covenant defeasance option") for the benefit of the Holders. The Issuers may exercise their legal defeasance option notwithstanding their prior exercise of their covenant defeasance option. In the event that the Issuers terminate all of their obligations under the Securities and this Indenture by exercising their legal defeasance option or their covenant defeasance option, the obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee of the Securities shall be terminated simultaneously with the termination of such obligations so long as no Securities are then outstanding.

(3)If the Issuers exercise their legal defeasance option, payment of the Securities so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Issuers exercise their covenant defeasance option, payment of the Securities so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d), 6.01(e), 6.01(f), 6.01(g) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Issuers only), 6.01(h) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Issuers only), 6.01(i) or 6.01(j).

Thereafter, the Issuers' obligations in Sections 7.06, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

76

SECTION 8.02. Conditions to Defeasance.

(a)The Issuers may exercise their legal defeasance option or their covenant defeasance option, in each case, with respect to the Securities only if:

(i)the Issuers shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities, cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, investment bank or appraisal firm, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including an amount of cash equal to all accrued and unpaid PIK Interest) due on the Securities on August 15, 2026 or on the redemption date, as the case may be, of such principal, premium, if any, or interest (including PIK Interest) on such Securities and the Issuers must specify whether such Securities are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;

(ii)in the case of the exercise of a legal defeasance option, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, (a) the Issuers have received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (b) since the issuance of the Securities, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law,

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as applicable, as a result of such exercise of a legal defeasance option and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such exercise of a legal defeasance option had not occurred;

(iii)in the case of exercise of a covenant defeasance option, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such exercise of a covenant defeasance option and will be subject to such tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such exercise of a covenant defeasance option had not occurred;

(iv)no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and the granting of Liens in connection therewith) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;

(v)such exercise of a legal defeasance option or exercise of a covenant defeasance option shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuers or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuers or any Guarantor is bound (other than that resulting from any borrowing of funds to be applied to make the deposit required to effect such exercise of a legal defeasance option or exercise of a covenant defeasance option and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith);

(vi)the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuers with the intent of defeating,

77

hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuers or any Guarantor or others; and

(vii)the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the exercise of a legal defeasance option or the exercise of a covenant defeasance option, as the case may be, have been complied with.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Opinion of Counsel required by the immediately preceding paragraph with respect to legal defeasance need not be delivered if all of the Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (x) have become due and payable or (y) will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer.

(b)Before or after a deposit, the Issuers may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of such 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 Government Securities (including proceeds thereof) deposited with it pursuant to this Article 8. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from Government Securities through each Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including PIK Interest) on the Securities so discharged or defeased.

SECTION 8.04. Repayment to Issuer. Each of the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Issuers upon written request any money or Government Securities held by it as provided in this Article 8 which, in the written opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants delivered to the Trustee (which delivery shall only be required if Government Securities 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 each Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuers upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuers for payment as general creditors, and the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies.

SECTION 8.05. Indemnity for Government Securities. The Issuers, jointly and severally, shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited Government Securities or the principal and interest received on such Government Securities.

SECTION 8.06. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities 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 Issuers' obligations under this Indenture and the Securities so discharged or defeased shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 8 until such time as the Trustee or any Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or Government Securities in accordance with this Article 8; provided, however, that, if the Issuers have made any payment of principal of or interest on, any such Securities because of the reinstatement of

78

its obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent.

80

(iii)reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest (including PIK Interest) on any Security;

(iv)waive a Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities, except a rescission of acceleration of the Securities by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration, or in respect of a covenant or provision contained in this Indenture or any Guarantee which cannot be amended or modified without the consent of all affected Holders;

(v)make any Security payable in money other than that stated in such

SECTION 9.03. Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers.

(a)A consent to an amendment 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 written notice of revocation delivered

81

in accordance with Section 12.01 before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officer's Certificate from the Issuers certifying that the requisite principal amount of Securities have consented. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder.

If an amendment, supplement or waiver made pursuant to this Indenture changes the terms of a Security, the Issuers may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place a notation on the Security regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuers so determine, the Issuers in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make a notation or to issue a new Security shall not affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

SECTION 9.05. Trustee to Sign Amendments. The Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as the case may be. If it does, the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as the case may be, may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment, the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and shall be provided with, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuers and the Guarantors, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof.

SECTION 9.06. Payment for Consent.

SECTION 9.07. Additional Voting Terms; Calculation of Principal Amount. Except as otherwise set forth herein, all Securities issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent separately on all matters as to which any of such Securities may vote. Determinations as to whether Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent shall be made in accordance with this Article 9 and Section 2.14.

On the Issue Date, the Guarantors will jointly and severally irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee on a senior basis the Securities (the "Guaranteed Obligations") by executing the Indenture. Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from each such Guarantor, and that each such Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article 10 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

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

(c)The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuers or any other Person under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement; (iv) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any Guarantor; (v) the failure of any Holder or Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (vi) any change in the ownership of such Guarantor.

(d)Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have its obligations hereunder divided among the Guarantors, such that such Guarantor's obligations would be less than the full amount claimed. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets of any Issuer first be used and depleted as payment of such Issuer's or such Guarantor's obligations hereunder prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by such Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to require that the Issuers be sued prior to an action being initiated against such Guarantor.

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

83

(f)Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.01(b), 10.02 and 10.06, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise.

(g)Subject to Section 10.02 hereof, each Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuers or otherwise.

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

(i)Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Trustee in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of any Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 10.01.

(j)Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01.

Upon request of the Trustee, each Guarantor shall promptly execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture.

(a)Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Securities, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that, any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Guarantor shall

84

not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

Each Holder, by its acceptance of any

86

Securities, consents and agrees (a) to the terms of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements (including, in each case, without limitation, the provisions providing for foreclosure and release of Collateral), as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms, (b) acknowledges that it has received a copy of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, (c) to the ranking of the Liens provided for in the Intercreditor Agreements (including subordination of the Liens securing the Obligations on the terms set forth in the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement), and that it will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements and (d) to the appointment of Ankura Trust Company, LLC, as Trustee and Collateral Trustee under this Indenture and as Collateral Trustee under the Security Documents. The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the holders under the First Priority Debt Documents (as defined in the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement) and the Second Priority Debt Documents (as defined in the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement) to extend credit to the Issuers and such holders are intended third party beneficiaries of such provisions. Each Holder and the Trustee authorizes and directs the Collateral Trustee to enter into the Intercreditor Agreements and each Security Document, as collateral trustee for the Secured Parties, and to perform its respective obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith. The Issuers and the Guarantors consent and agree to be bound by the terms of the applicable Security Documents, as the same may be in effect from time to time, and agree to perform their respective obligations thereunder in accordance therewith, and the Issuers will deliver to the Trustee copies of all documents delivered to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to the Security Documents, and will do or cause to be done, at the Issuers' sole cost and expense, all such acts and things as may be required by the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents, to assure and confirm to the Collateral Trustee the security interest in the Collateral contemplated by the Security Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Secured Parties. The Issuers hereby agree that the Collateral Trustee shall hold the Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Security Documents and the provisions of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 11.02. Intercreditor Agreements. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the priority of the Lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to the applicable Security Documents and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Trustee or Collateral Trustee hereunder and thereunder with respect to the Collateral are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements. The Issuers and each Guarantor consents to, and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements to the extent they are expressly applicable to such Person and to the extent it is a party thereto, and to perform its obligations thereunder in accordance with the terms therewith. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements on the one hand and this Indenture on the other, with respect to lien priority or rights and remedies in connection with the Collateral, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, shall govern.

(a)Subject to last sentence of Section 10.06, the Issuers and each Guarantor shall:

(i)enter into the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements and any amendments or supplements to the Security Documents as may be necessary in order to cause the Collateral Trustee (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) to have valid and perfected Liens, with the relevant Lien priority, on the applicable Collateral, subject to Permitted Liens;

(ii)do, execute, acknowledge, deliver (subject to the applicable Intercreditor Agreement), record, file and register, as applicable, any and all acts, deeds, conveyances, security agreements, assignments, financing statements and continuations thereof,

87

termination statements, notices of assignment, transfers, certificates, assurances and other instruments as may be required by the applicable Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements or any applicable law or that the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request to maintain valid and perfected Liens, with the relevant Lien priority, on the applicable Collateral, subject to Permitted Liens; provided, however, any deeds, conveyances, security agreements, assignments, notices of assignment, transfers, certificates, assurances and other instruments that are required to be executed, acknowledged and/or delivered by any of the Issuers or Guarantors shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Issuer or Guarantor, as the case may be;

(iii)acknowledge and agree that such Security Documents shall provide that the Holders shall, automatically and without further action, become the beneficiaries of the pledges of property and assets to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to the Security Documents to the extent of any PIK Securities issued as payment of PIK Interest on the Securities and any increase in the principal amount of Securities as a result of the payment of PIK Interest; and

(iv)at the time of delivery of a Grantor Supplement, deliver to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee Opinions of Counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee that the Grantor Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the applicable Grantor (as defined in the Security Agreement) and constitutes legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of such additional Grantor, subject to customary qualifications and limitations.

(b)With respect to any fee-owned real property of the Issuers or any Guarantor (x) having a Fair Market Value in excess of $1,000,000 as of the Issue Date or (y) acquired after the Issue Date having a Fair Market Value in excess of $1,000,000 as of the date of acquisition (such real property, in each case, being a "Material Real Estate Asset") within 90 days thereafter (or within such longer period of time as reasonably consented to by the Collateral Trustee), the Issuers shall or shall cause the applicable Guarantor to:

(i)deliver to the Collateral Trustee, as mortgagee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, fully executed mortgages, deeds of trust or similar documents under which a Lien is granted with respect to such real property ("Mortgages"), duly executed by the applicable Issuer or the applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, together with evidence of the completion (or satisfactory arrangements for the completion), of all recordings and filings of such Mortgage as may be necessary to create a valid perfected Lien, subject to Permitted Liens, against the Material Real Estate Asset purported to be covered thereby;

(ii)deliver to the Collateral Trustee an ALTA mortgagee's title insurance policy or unconditional commitments therefor in favor of the Collateral Trustee in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Material Real Estate Asset purported to be covered by the related Mortgage, insuring that the interests created by the Mortgage constitute valid Liens thereon free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens and any other exceptions disclosed in such policy, dated not more than 45 days (or such longer date as to which Collateral Trustee may agree) prior to the date of such Mortgage, and such policy shall also include, to the extent available and issued at ordinary rates, customary endorsements reasonably requested by Collateral Trustee, and shall be accompanied by evidence of the payment in full (or satisfactory arrangements for the payment) of all expenses and premiums of the title company and all other sums required

88

in connection with the issuance of each title policy and all recording and stamp taxes (including mortgage recording and intangible taxes) payable in connection with recording the Mortgages for each Material Real Estate Asset in the appropriate real estate records;

(iii)deliver to the Collateral Trustee ALTA surveys of the Material Real Estate Asset purported to be covered by the related Mortgage, certified to Collateral Trustee and dated not more than 180 days prior to the date of such Mortgage, sufficient for the title insurance company to remove the standard survey exception from the title policy relating to such Material Real Estate Asset and, to the extent available, issue customary endorsements based on an ALTA survey as reasonably required by Collateral Trustee; provided that, if the Issuers are able to obtain a "no change" affidavit acceptable to the title company and deliver such certificate to the title company to enable it to issue a customary endorsement removing all exceptions which would otherwise have been raised by the title company as a result of the absence of a current survey for such Material Real Estate Asset, then a current survey shall not be required;

(iv)deliver to the Collateral Trustee flood certifications with respect to the Material Real Estate Asset purported to be covered by the related Mortgage and evidence of flood insurance with respect to each Material Real Estate Asset that is located (x) in an area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood or mudslide hazards and (y) in a community that participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Trustee;

(v)deliver an Opinion of Counsel to the Collateral Trustee that such Mortgage has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Issuer or such Guarantor, constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Issuer or such Guarantor and creates a valid perfected Lien in the Material Real Estate Asset purported to be covered thereby, in each case, subject to customary exceptions and qualifications; and

(vi)deliver an Officer's Certificate to the Collateral Trustee that each of the conditions in clauses (i) through (iv) above have been satisfied.

SECTION 11.04. Impairment of Security Interests. Neither the Issuers nor any of their Restricted Subsidiaries will (i) knowingly or negligently take or omit to take any action which would adversely affect or impair the Liens granted in favor of the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral (it being understood, that the incurrence of Permitted Liens (except Permitted Liens senior to the Liens securing the Secured Obligations to the extent such Lien is required to be subordinated to or pari passu with the Liens securing the Secured Obligations in accordance with this Indenture, any applicable Security Document or any Intercreditor Agreement) shall under no circumstances be deemed to materially impair the Liens with respect to the Collateral), except that the Collateral may be discharged and released in accordance with this Indenture, the applicable Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements or as required by an Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) grant any Person, or permit any Person to retain (other than the Collateral Trustee or any agent for of a Secured Party) any Liens on the Collateral, other than Permitted Liens or (iii) enter into any agreement that requires the proceeds received from any sale of Collateral to be applied to repay, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire any Indebtedness of any Person in a manner that conflicts with this Indenture, the Guarantees, the Intercreditor Agreements or the Security Documents, as applicable.

SECTION 11.06. Release of Liens in Respect of the Obligations.

(a)The Collateral Trustee's Liens upon the Collateral will no longer secure the Obligations under this Indenture, and the right of the Holders of Securities and such Obligations to the benefits and proceeds of the Collateral Trustee's Liens on the Collateral will terminate and be automatically released upon the occurrence of any of the following:

Securities in denominations larger than $250,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1.00.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture, to cause the Issuers and/or the Parent to repurchase all or any part of such Holder's Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including an amount of cash equal to all accrued and unpaid PIK Interest), if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.

A Holder shall register the transfer of or exchange of Securities in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any registration of transfer or exchange, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be redeemed) or to transfer or exchange any Securities for a period of 15 days prior to the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed.

11.Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of this Security shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

12.Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and a Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Issuers at their written request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, the Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuers for payment as general creditors and the Trustee and a Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies.

13.Discharge and Defeasance. Subject to certain conditions and as set forth in the Indenture, the Issuers at any time may terminate some of or all of their obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if the Issuers deposit with the Trustee money or Government Securities for the payment of principal and interest on the Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

14.Amendment; Waiver. The Securities are subject to the redemption provisions set forth in Article 9 of the Indenture.

15.Defaults and Remedies. The Securities are subject to the default and remedy provisions set forth in Article 6 of the Indenture.

16.Trustee Dealings with the Issuers. 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 Issuers or their Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

17.No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, manager, incorporator, member, partner or stockholder of the Issuers or any Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers or the Guarantors under the

A-6

Securities, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

18.Authentication. This Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the 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, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.
