Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him or her the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his or her individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or her authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Security Register.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of the Notes shall bind every future Holder of the Notes and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Notes entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Notes; provided that the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Notes on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 1.06.

The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Notes entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 5.02, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 5.07(b) or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 5.12, in each case with respect to the Notes. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Notes on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Notes on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 1.06.

With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.04, the party hereto that sets such record date may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party in writing, and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 1.06, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.04, the party hereto that sets such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph.

Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to the Notes may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.

Section 1.05.        Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

(i)            the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Diversified Healthcare Trust; 7.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2030; or

(ii)           the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company.

Section 1.06.        Notice to Holders; Waiver.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Notes other than a provision that expressly states that this paragraph is not applicable to the Notes, when this Indenture or the Notes provides for notice of any event (including any notice of redemption) to a Holder of Notes in global form (whether by mail or otherwise), such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depositary for the Notes (or its designee) pursuant to the customary procedures of such Depositary. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

Section 1.07.        Trust Indenture Act.

Except with respect to specific provisions of the Trust Indenture Act expressly referenced in the provisions of this Indenture, the Trust Indenture Act shall not be applicable to, and shall not govern, this Indenture and the Notes.

In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 1.11.        Benefits of Indenture.

Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and the Holders of Notes any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

Section 1.12.        Governing Law.

This Indenture and the Notes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York.

Section 1.14.        Language of Notices, Etc.

Section 1.17.        Counterparts.

This Indenture may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Indenture or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this Indenture or the Notes shall include images of manually executed signatures transmitted by electronic format (including, without limitation, “pdf”, “tif” or “jpg”) and other electronic signatures (including, without limitation, DocuSign and AdobeSign). The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based recordkeeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the ESIGN Act of 2000, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the UCC. The Trustee shall have the right to accept and act upon any notice, instruction, or other communication, including any funds transfer instruction, (each, a “Notice”) received pursuant to this Indenture by electronic transmission (including by e-mail, web portal or other electronic methods) and shall not have any duty to confirm that the person sending such Notice is, in fact, a person authorized to do so. Electronic signatures believed by the Trustee to comply with the ESIGN Act of 2000 or other applicable law (including electronic images of handwritten signatures and digital signatures provided by DocuSign, Orbit, Adobe Sign or any other digital signature provider identified by any other party hereto and acceptable to the Trustee) shall be deemed original signatures for all purposes. Each other party to this Indenture assumes all risks arising out of the use of electronic signatures and electronic methods to send Notices to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on an unauthorized Notice and the risk of interception or misuse by third parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may in any instance and in its sole discretion require that a Notice in the form of an original document bearing a manual signature be delivered to the Trustee in lieu of, or in addition to, any such electronic Notice.

INTEREST RATE; INTEREST PAYMENTS

Section 2.01.         Interest Rate; Interest Payments.

(a)            Unless previously redeemed, the Notes will bear interest at 7.250% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on October 15 and April 15 of each year, commencing April 15, 2026 (each of which shall be an “Interest Payment Date”), to the Persons in whose names the Notes are registered in the Security Register at the close of business on the Record Date, which shall be October 1 or April 1 (in each case, whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately before such Interest Payment Date.

(b)            Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

ARTICLE Three
THE NOTES

Section 3.01.         Form and Dating.

Provisions relating to the Notes are set forth in Appendix A, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Notes and the Trustee’s (or the Authenticating Agent’s) certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, the rules of any securities exchange agreements to which the Company is subject, if any, or usage; provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in form reasonably acceptable to the Company. The Company shall approve the form of the Notes. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms and provisions contained in the form of the Notes shall constitute and are hereby expressly made a part of this Indenture.

Section 3.02.         Denominations.

The Notes shall be issued only in registered form without coupons and only in minimum denominations of $2,000 in principal amount and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 3.03.         Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its President, one of its Vice Presidents or its Treasurer. The signature of any of these officers on the Notes may be manual or electronic (including DocuSign or other electronic platform).

Notes bearing the manual or electronic (including DocuSign or other electronic platform) signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.

The Company shall execute and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate (whether itself or via the Authenticating Agent), which such authentication may be by manual or electronic (including DocuSign or other electronic platform), Notes, on the date hereof, for original issue up to an aggregate principal amount of $375,000,000.

The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, any such Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by any such agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as any Security Registrar, co-Security Registrar, Paying Agent or transfer agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual or electronic signature, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Note shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Note to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.09, for all purposes of this Indenture such Note shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 3.04.         Temporary Notes.

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

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

Section 3.05.         Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

(a)            The Company shall cause to be kept at an office or agency to be maintained by the Company in accordance with Section 10.02 a register (being the combined register of the Security Registrar and all transfer agents designated pursuant to Section 10.02 for the purpose of registration of transfer of Notes and sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided.

(b)            The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer and in compliance with Appendix A.

(c)            Subject to Section 3.05(b), upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 10.02 for such purpose in a Place of Payment for that Note, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

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

(e)            Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee or any transfer agent) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or the attorney of such Holder duly authorized in writing.

(f)            No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, 9.05 or 11.07 not involving any transfer.

(g)            If the Notes are to be redeemed in part, the Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Notes to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

Section 3.06.         Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes.

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (a) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (b) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous two paragraphs, in case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.

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

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

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

Section 3.07.         Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest.

The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at a rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; the Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful.

Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below:

(a)            The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on the Notes and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Section 3.07 provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given to each Holder in the manner set forth in Section 1.06, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (b).

(b)            The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Notes in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Section 3.07, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

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

Section 3.08.         Persons Deemed Owners.

Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest (subject to Section 3.07), if any, on, such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 3.09.         Cancellation.

All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section 3.09, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of as directed by a Company Order or, in the absence of such a Company Order, in the Trustee’s customary manner, which manner shall be communicated in writing to the Company.

Section 3.10.         Currency.

The principal of each Note payable at its Maturity shall be paid against presentation and surrender thereof at the Corporate Trust Office, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public or private debts.

Section 3.11.         CUSIP Numbers.

The Company, in issuing the Notes, may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use such “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will notify the Trustee of any change in “CUSIP” numbers.

ARTICLE Four

(a)            either

(C)            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 Company,

and the Company, in the case of (A), (B) or (C) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose money in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of (and premium, if any) and any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, such Notes to the date of such deposit (in the case of Notes which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; provided that with respect to a Redemption Date, if all or a portion of the Redemption Price is based on or consists of a redemption premium that is required to be calculated based on a treasury rate or other floating or adjustable rate a specified number of days prior to such Redemption Date, the Redemption Price deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this paragraph to the extent that the Redemption Price so deposited is calculated using an amount equal to such premium computed using such treasury rate or other floating or adjustable rate as of such specified number of days preceding the date of such deposit;

(b)            the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; and

(c)            the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

Section 4.02.         Application of Trust Money.

Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal of (and premium, if any) and any interest on, such Notes for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee.

ARTICLE Five
Remedies

Section 5.01.         Events of Default.

“Event of Default,” means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

(a)            default in the payment of the principal amount of (and premium, if any) the Notes at the Stated Maturity, upon redemption or otherwise (including, a default in making a payment to purchase Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer, Collateral Asset Sale Redemption or an Event of Loss Redemption) on the date specified for payment in the applicable offer or notice; or

(b)            default in the payment of any interest on the Notes when it becomes due and payable, and the continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or

(c)            (i) default in the performance of, or breach of, any covenant of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor in this Indenture, other than a default covered by clauses (a) and (b) above, and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or

(d)            the Company or a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law (i) commences a voluntary case, (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, or (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property; or

(e)            a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: (i) is for relief against the Company or a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case, (ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company or such Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of its property, or (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company or such Significant Subsidiary, and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days; or

(f)            default under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company, or under any mortgage, indenture or other instrument of the Company under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company (or by any Subsidiary, the repayment of which the Company has guaranteed or for which the Company is directly responsible or liable as obligor or guarantor), whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, which default shall constitute a failure to pay an aggregate principal amount exceeding $50,000,000 of such indebtedness when due and payable after the expiration of any applicable grace period with respect thereto and shall have resulted in such indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $50,000,000 becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable, without such indebtedness having been discharged, or such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled, within a period of 10 days after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, a written notice specifying such default and requiring the Company to cause such indebtedness to be discharged or cause such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” under this Indenture; or

(g)            any Subsidiary Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms of this Indenture) or is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or group of Subsidiary Guarantors that taken together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary denies or disaffirms its or their, as the case may be, obligations under this Indenture or its or their Subsidiary Guarantees, as the case may be; or

(h)            unless such Liens have been released in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture or the Pledge Agreement with respect to such Liens, the Liens in favor of the Holders with respect to Collateral having a Fair Market Value in excess of $25,000,000 in the aggregate cease to be valid or enforceable and such default continues for 30 days, or the Company shall assert or any Collateral Guarantor shall assert, in any pleading in any court of competent jurisdiction, that security interests with respect to Collateral having a Fair Market Value in excess of $25,000,000 in the aggregate is invalid or unenforceable (except as contemplated by the terms of this Indenture or the Pledge Agreement) and, in the case of any Collateral Guarantor, the Company shall fail to cause such Collateral Guarantor to rescind such assertions within 30 days after the Company has actual knowledge of such assertions; or

(i)            failure by the Company or any Collateral Guarantor to comply for 60 days after notice or such longer period as may be provided in the Pledge Agreement with its other agreements contained in such Pledge Agreement, in each case, except for a failure that would not be material to the Holders and would not materially affect the value of the Collateral taken as a whole.

Section 5.02.        Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(e) or 5.01(f)) occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than a majority of the principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount of the Outstanding Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (e) or (f) of Section 5.01 occurs, the principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable.

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(a)            the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay

(i)            the principal amount of (and premium, if any) the Notes which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration,

(ii)           to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest on the Notes, and

(iii)          all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and

(b)            all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of the Notes which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

If a default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another default (such other default, the “Initial Default”) occurs, then at the time such Initial Default is cured, the default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with the Initial Default will also be cured without any further action and any default or Event of Default for the failure to comply with the time periods prescribed under Section 10.10 or otherwise to deliver any notice or certificate pursuant to any other provision of this Indenture will be deemed to be cured upon the delivery of any such report required by Section 10.10 or such notice or certificate, as applicable, even though such delivery is not within the prescribed period specified in this Indenture.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if the Notes are accelerated solely in respect of an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(e) or 5.01(f), the premium applicable with respect to an optional redemption of the Notes specified in Section 11.01 will also be due and payable as though the Notes were optionally redeemed on the date of such acceleration and shall constitute part of the Notes Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Holder’s lost profits as a result thereof. Any premium payable above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages (and not unmatured interest under Bankruptcy Law) sustained by each Holder as the result of the early redemption and the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor agree that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The premium shall also be payable if the Notes (and/or this Indenture) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding, deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means). THE COMPANY AND EACH SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR EXPRESSLY WAIVE (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor expressly agree (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between Holders and the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the premium; and (D) the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor expressly acknowledge that the agreement to pay the premium to Holders as herein described is a material inducement to Holders to purchase the Notes.

Section 5.03.         Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

The Company covenants that if

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

(b)            default is made in the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) the Notes at the Stated Maturity thereof,

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

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

Section 5.04.         Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07.

No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee.

Section 5.05.         Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes.

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

Section 5.06.         Application of Money Collected.

Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium or interest upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.07;

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

THIRD: To the Company.

Section 5.07.         Limitation on Suits.

No Holder shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under this Indenture or the Notes, unless

(a)            such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes;

(b)            the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

(c)            such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(d)            the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

(e)            no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes;

it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture or any Note to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture or any Note, except in the manner herein or therein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders.

Section 5.08.         Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), and any interest on, such Note on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Note (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Section 5.09.         Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

Section 5.10.         Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

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

Section 5.11.         Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Notes to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 5.12.         Control by Holders.

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Notes, provided that

(a)            such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and

(b)            the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

Section 5.13.         Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past default hereunder with respect to such Notes and its consequences, except a default

(a)            in the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Notes, or

(b)            in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder of Outstanding Notes affected.

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

Section 5.14.         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, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company.

Section 5.15.         Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

ARTICLE Six
The Trustee

Section 6.01.         Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(d)            the Trustee may consult with counsel of its own selection and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

(e)            the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

(f)            the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney;

Section 6.04.         Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Notes.

The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Notes. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Notes or the proceeds thereof.

Section 6.05.         May Hold Notes.

The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and, subject to Sections 6.08 and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

Section 6.06.         Money Held in Trust.

Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company.

Section 6.07.         Compensation and Reimbursement.

The Company agrees

(a)            to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

(b)            except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and

(c)            to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

Section 6.08.         Conflicting Interests.

If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. To the extent permitted by such Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to the Notes and any other indentures of the Company.

Section 6.09.         Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

There shall at all times be one (and only one) Trustee hereunder with respect to the Notes, which may be Trustee hereunder for the Notes. Each Trustee shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such, and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section and to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee with respect to the Notes shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

Section 6.10.         Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11.

The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Notes by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes.

The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Notes by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.

If at any time:

(ii)           the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or

(iii)          the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Notes, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Notes (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Notes and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Notes) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Notes and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Notes, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes, the Company, the retiring Trustee and such successor Trustee with respect to the Notes shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein such successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Notes and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Notes to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Notes to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.

Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be.

No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

Section 6.13.         Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor). For purposes of Section 311(b)(4) and (6) of the Trust Indenture Act:

Section 6.14.         Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to the Notes which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Notes issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.06, and Notes so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, and a copy of such instrument shall be promptly furnished to the Company. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Notes by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company.

Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 1.06 to all Holders of Notes with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 6.07.

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

This is one of the Notes referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

Section 10.07.       Limitations on Incurrence of Debt and Issuance of Preferred Stock.

(a)            The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt and the application of the proceeds therefrom, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles is greater than 60% of the sum of (without duplication):

(i)            the Total Assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, or its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed with the Commission (or, if such filing is not permitted or required under the Exchange Act, with the Trustee ) prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt; and

(ii)           the purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the amount of any securities offering proceeds received (to the extent that such proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Debt), by the Company or any Subsidiary since the end of such fiscal quarter, including those proceeds obtained in connection with the incurrence of such additional Debt.

“Adjusted Total Assets” means the sum of (i) and (ii) above.

(b)            The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Secured Debt if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Secured Debt and the application of the proceeds therefrom, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Secured Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles is greater than 40% of Adjusted Total Assets.

(c)            The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any Debt if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt and on a pro forma basis, including the application of the proceeds therefrom, the ratio of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to the Annual Debt Service for the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date on which such additional Debt is to be incurred is less than 1.5 to 1.0, calculated on the assumptions that:

(i)            such Debt and any other Debt incurred by the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis since the first day of such four-quarter period and the application of the proceeds therefrom, including to refinance other Debt, had occurred at the beginning of such period;

(ii)           the repayment, retirement or other discharge of any other Debt by the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis since the first day of such four-quarter period had occurred at the beginning of such period (except that, in making such computation, the amount of Debt under any revolving credit facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Debt during such period);

(iii)          in the case of Acquired Debt or Debt incurred in connection with or in contemplation of any acquisition, including any Person becoming a Subsidiary, since the first day of such four-quarter period, the related acquisition had occurred as of the first day of such period with appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition being included in such pro forma calculation; and

(iv)          in the case of any acquisition or disposition by the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis of any asset or group of assets since the first day of such four-quarter period, whether by merger, stock purchase or sale, or asset purchase or sale, such acquisition or disposition or any related repayment of Debt had occurred as of the first day of such period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition or disposition being included in such pro forma calculation.

If the Debt giving rise to the need to make the foregoing calculation or any other Debt incurred after the first day of the relevant four-quarter period bears interest at a floating interest rate, then, for purposes of calculating the Annual Debt Service, the interest rate on such Debt shall be computed on a pro forma basis as if the average interest rate which would have been in effect during the entirety of such four-quarter period had been the applicable rate for the entirety of such period.

(d)            The Company will not permit any Collateral Guarantor to incur any Funded Debt, suffer to exist any guarantee by any Collateral Guarantor of the Company’s obligations under its 0.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 and its 4.375% Senior Notes due 2031 or issue any shares of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock.

(e)            Notwithstanding the limitations contained in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 10.07 and Section 10.08, the Company and its Subsidiaries may incur Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness.

Section 10.08.       Maintenance of Total Unencumbered Assets.

The Company and its Subsidiaries will at all times maintain Total Unencumbered Assets of not less than 150% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Unsecured Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Section 10.09.       Limitations on Liens.

The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of the Collateral Guarantors to create, incur, assume or otherwise cause to exist or become effective any Lien securing Debt upon any Collateral other than Permitted Liens.

Section 10.10.       Provision of Financial Information.

Whether or not the Company is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it will, within 15 days after each of the respective dates by which it would have been required to file annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents with the Commission if it were so subject, (1) transmit by mail to all Holders, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, without cost to such Holders, and file with the Trustee, copies of the annual reports, quarterly and other reports, financial statements and other documents which it would have been required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, if it were subject to such Sections and (2) promptly upon written request and payment of the reasonable cost of duplication and delivery, supply copies of such documents to any prospective Holder; provided that, the foregoing requirements shall be deemed satisfied if the foregoing materials are available on the Commission’s ▇▇▇▇▇ system or on the Company’s website within the applicable time period. The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for the filing, timeliness or content of any such reports, financial statements, documents or information filed by the Company and delivery of such reports, financial statements, documents or information to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice thereof or any information contained therein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the Notes are guaranteed by any direct or indirect parent company of the Company, the Company may satisfy its obligations under this Section 10.10 with respect to financial information relating to the Company by furnishing financial information relating to such direct or indirect parent company; provided, however, that the same is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such direct or indirect parent company and any of its Subsidiaries other than the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand.

(b)           No later than the 20th Business Day following receipt of the Net Proceeds in respect of a Collateral Asset Sale, the Company shall be required to issue a notice to redeem such aggregate principal amount of Notes (on a pro rata basis) equal to (x) the Net Proceeds plus, (y) in the event that the Fair Market Value of the applicable Collateral or Collateral Property at the time of the Collateral Asset Sale as provided in Section 10.12(a) is less than the amount equal to 80% of the Value as of the Issue Date of the Collateral or Collateral Property subject to the Collateral Asset Sale, the Incremental Amount, if any, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date, and premium, if any (a “Collateral Asset Sale Redemption”). Any Collateral Asset Sale Redemption shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.04 through 11.08.

(c)           If any Event of Loss occurs with respect to any Collateral Property, which results in the realization or receipt by the Company or any Collateral Guarantor of Net Proceeds, the Company (or the applicable Collateral Guarantor, as the case may be) shall apply such Net Proceeds, on or prior to the 20th Business Day after the date of the realization or receipt of such Net Proceeds, to redeem such aggregate principal amount of Notes equal to the Net Proceeds in respect of such Event of Loss, if any, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date, and premium, if any (an “Event of Loss Redemption”), provided that any Event of Loss Redemption shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.04 through 11.08, provided further that no Event of Loss Redemption shall be required pursuant to this Section 10.12(c) with respect to such portion of Net Proceeds that the Company (or the applicable Collateral Guarantor, as the case may be) intends to reinvest or use in accordance with Section 10.12(d);

Section 10.13.      Repurchase of Notes upon Change of Control.

If a Change of Control occurs, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase some or all (in minimum principal amounts of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, provided that the remaining principal amount of any Note repurchased in part must not be less than $2,000) of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase, subject to the right of holders of the notes of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date (the “Change of Control Payment”).

Within ten (10) Business Days following a Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder of Notes (with a copy to the Trustee) describing the transaction or transactions that constitute, or are expected to constitute, the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on a specified date (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), at a purchase price equal to the Change of Control Payment (the “Change of Control Offer”). The Change of Control Payment Date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (or in the case of Global Notes, given pursuant to applicable procedures of the Depositary).

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

(a)           accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

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

(c)           deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes accepted and an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of all Notes purchased by the Company.

The Paying Agent for the Notes will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered (or in the case of Global Notes, will promptly pay to the Depositary or its nominee) the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail, or cause to be transferred by book-entry, to each Holder a new Note in principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered; provided that such new Note will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable to any Change of Control Offer. If the provisions of any of the applicable securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 10.13, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 10.13 by virtue of that compliance.

The Company will not be obligated to make or consummate a Change of Control Offer if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 10.13 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer. In addition, the Company will not be obligated to make or consummate a Change of Control Offer with respect to the Notes, if it has irrevocably elected to redeem all of the Notes under Section 11.01 and has not defaulted on its redemption obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, the consummation of such Change of Control. The Change of Control Payment Date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the notice is mailed or delivered, including by electronic transmission) as such Change of Control is consummated. The Company may rescind or amend the Change of Control Offer in the event that the Company shall determine that the Change of Control will not occur by the Change of Control Payment Date, or by the Change of Control Payment Date as so delayed. A Change of Control Offer made in advance of the Change of Control may be made at the same time as consents are solicited with respect to an amendment, supplement or waiver of this Indenture. Prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, the provisions of this Section 10.13 relating to the Company’s obligation to make a Change of Control Offer may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding.

In connection with any redemption of Notes, any such redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent. In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice may state that, in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed (including by more than 60 days) until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion) by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date so delayed.

All notices of redemption shall state:

(a)           the Redemption Date,

Section 11.07.      Notes Payable on Redemption Date.

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Notes will cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any of the Notes for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Note shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more Predecessor Notes, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.07.

ARTICLE Twelve
SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

Section 12.01.      Subsidiary Guarantee.

Subject to this Article Twelve, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees on a senior secured basis with respect to the Collateral Guarantors and, on a senior unsecured basis with respect to the Non-Collateral Guarantors, to each Holder of Notes authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company under this Indenture or the Notes, that: (a) the principal of (and premium, if any), and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption or repurchase, by acceleration or otherwise, and all obligations of the Company to Holders of the Notes or the Trustee under this Indenture or the Notes shall be promptly paid in full or promptly performed, as the case may be, all in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Notes; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption or repurchase, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or failing performance of any other obligation so guaranteed for whatever reason, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be obligated to pay, or to perform or cause the performance of, the same immediately. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, the release of any other Subsidiary Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Subsidiary Guarantor. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

Unless and until released with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with Section 12.04 of this Indenture, this Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official be appointed for all or any part of the Company’s assets. If any Holder of the Notes or the Trustee is required by any court or governmental authority or is otherwise required to return to the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, the Notes and this Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees (to the fullest extent permitted by law) that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders of the Notes and the Trustee, on the other hand, (a) subject to this Article Twelve, the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Five of this Indenture, for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (b) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in such Article Five, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for the purpose of this Subsidiary Guarantee.

Section 12.02.       Limitation on Subsidiary Guarantor Liability.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder of the Notes, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary 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 Subsidiary Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders of the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article Twelve, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee and this Indenture not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under such laws. Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment under its Subsidiary Guarantee is entitled to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the adjusted net assets of each Subsidiary Guarantor, so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Subsidiary Guarantee.

Section 12.03.       Execution and Delivery of Subsidiary Guarantee.

To evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 12.01 of this Indenture, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture or a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto entered into by such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be executed on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor by an officer or other authorized signatory of such Subsidiary Guarantor.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 12.01 of this Indenture shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee on the Notes.

If an officer or other authorized signatory of any Subsidiary Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture or a supplemental indenture entered into by such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, no longer holds that office or is no longer such an authorized signatory at the time the Trustee authenticates any Note, the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be valid nevertheless with respect to such Note.

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Subsidiary Guarantors.

Section 12.04.      Release of a Subsidiary Guarantor.

The Subsidiary Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor will automatically terminate and be released, all other obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture will automatically terminate and such Subsidiary Guarantor will be automatically released from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee and its other obligations under this Indenture:

(a)           in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Subsidiary;

(b)           in the event of a sale or other disposition (including through merger or consolidation) of Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Subsidiary and such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of the sale or other disposition;

(c)           upon the satisfaction and discharge, Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of the Notes in accordance with Article Four or Article Thirteen of this Indenture;

(d)           upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Subsidiary Guarantor, provided no default under this Indenture or Event of Default has occurred that is continuing;

(e)           upon the merger of such Subsidiary Guarantor into, or the consolidation of such Subsidiary Guarantor with the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor;

(f)            with respect to a Collateral Guarantor, the sale or release of all of the Collateral Properties that are owned directly or indirectly by such Collateral Guarantor pursuant to or in compliance with the terms of this Indenture;

(g)           with respect to a Non-Collateral Guarantor, upon such Non-Collateral Guarantor becoming an Excluded Subsidiary or a Foreign Subsidiary; or

(h)           upon the occurrence of an Investment Grade Event.

At the request of the Company, and upon delivery to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions provided for in this Indenture to the release of a Subsidiary Guarantor from its Subsidiary Guarantee have been complied with (provided that the legal counsel delivering such Opinion of Counsel may rely as to matters of fact on one or more Officer’s Certificates of the Company), the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release (it being understood that the failure to obtain any such instrument shall not impair any release pursuant to this Section 12.04).

Section 12.05.      Benefits Acknowledged.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Subsidiary Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 12.06.      Waiver of Subrogation.

Until all of the Notes are discharged and paid in full, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to exercise any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Company’s obligations under the Notes or this Indenture and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Subsidiary Guarantee and this Indenture, in any such instance including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Holders of the Notes against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other assets or by set off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and any amounts owing to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes under the Notes or this Indenture, shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Subsidiary Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of itself or such Holders to be credited and applied to the obligations in favor of the Trustee or such Holders, as the case may be, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

Section 12.07.      Same Currency; No Set Off.

Each payment to be made by a Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall be payable in the currency in which corresponding payment obligations of the Company under the Notes or this Indenture are denominated, and shall be made without set off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.

Section 12.08.      Guarantee Obligations Continuing.

The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture shall be continuing and shall remain in full force and effect until all such obligations have been paid and satisfied in full. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees with the Trustee that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, it will from time to time deliver to the Trustee suitable acknowledgments of this continued liability in such form as counsel to the Trustee may reasonably request and as will prevent any action brought against it in respect of any default under this Indenture being barred by any statute of limitations now or hereafter in force and, in the event of the failure of a Subsidiary Guarantor so to do, it hereby irrevocably appoints the Trustee the attorney and agent of such Subsidiary Guarantor to make, execute and deliver such written acknowledgment or acknowledgments or other instruments as may from time to time become necessary or reasonably advisable, in the judgment of the Trustee on the advice of counsel, to fully maintain and keep in force the liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture.

Section 12.09.       No Merger or Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Subsidiary Guarantee shall operate by way of merger of any of the obligations of a Subsidiary Guarantor under any other agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Indenture or the Notes, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under this Indenture or the Notes preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the rights, remedies, powers and privileges in this Indenture, the Notes and any other document or instrument between a Subsidiary Guarantor and/or the Company and the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privilege provided by law.

The Holders and the Trustee, without releasing, discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting in whole or in part the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture and without the consent of or notice to any Subsidiary Guarantor, may to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:

(f)            otherwise deal with, or waive or modify their right to deal with, the Company and all other Persons and any security as the Holders or the Trustee may see fit.

Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all money and Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section and Section 13.06, the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to collectively, for purposes of this Section 13.05, as the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 13.04 in respect of any Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and premium (if any) and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 13.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Notes.

Anything in this Article Thirteen to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 13.04 hereof which, in the opinion or based on a report or certificate of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, investment bank or appraisal firm expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be.

Section 13.06.      Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 13.02 or 13.03 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article Thirteen until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 13.02 or 13.03; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment principal of (and premium, if any), and any interest on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of the Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent.

This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. In proving the existence of this Indenture it shall not be necessary to produce more than one copy.

ARTICLE Fourteen
COLLATERAL AND SECURITY

Section 14.01.      The Collateral Agent.

(a)           By accepting a Note, each Holder will be deemed to have irrevocably appointed the Collateral Agent to act as collateral agent under the Pledge Agreement and irrevocably authorized the Collateral Agent to (i) perform the duties and exercise the rights and powers that are specifically given to it under the Pledge Agreement or other documents to which it is a party, together with any other incidental rights and powers, and (ii) execute each document to be executed by the Collateral Agent on its behalf, the Pledge Agreement and all other instruments relating to the Pledge Agreement. The Holders may not, individually or collectively, take any direct action to enforce the Pledge Agreement. The Collateral Agent will have no duties or obligations with respect to the Collateral except those expressly set forth hereunder or in the Pledge Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into such documents against the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent will not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in the absence of its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The Collateral Agent will be entitled to rely upon, and will not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper person. The Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and will not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent:

(i)            shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii)           shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers and shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to the Pledge Agreement or applicable law;

(iii)          shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any Affiliate if the Company that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as a Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;

(iv)          shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) or (ii) in reliance on an Officer’s Certificate of the Company stating that such action is permitted by the terms of this Indenture. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default hereunder unless and until written notice describing such Event of Default is received by such Collateral Agent from the Trustee or the Company; and

(v)           shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with the Pledge Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of the Pledge Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Pledge Agreement, (v) the existence, value or the sufficiency of any Collateral for any Notes Obligations, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in any operative agreements governing Notes Obligations or the Pledge Agreement, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Collateral Agent.

The use of the term “agent” herein with reference to a Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law other than as a “representative” as such term is used in Section 9-102(a)(72)(E) of the UCC.

BY ACCEPTING A NOTE EACH HOLDER WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE IRREVOCABLY AGREED TO THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 14.01(a) AND SHALL BE BOUND BY THOSE AGREEMENTS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

(b)       The Collateral Agent shall be subject to such directions as may be properly given in accordance with this Indenture and the Pledge Agreement. Except as expressly required by this Indenture and the Pledge Agreement or otherwise in compliance with the prior sentence, the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated:

(i)            to act upon directions purported to be delivered to it by any other Person;

(ii)           to foreclose upon or otherwise enforce any Lien securing the Notes or any of the Guarantees; or

(iii)          to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any or all of (x) the Liens securing the Notes, (y) the Guarantees or (z) the Pledge Agreement, or with regard to the Collateral.

(c)           The Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through, and is authorized and empowered to appoint, one or more co-agents or sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact as it deems necessary or appropriate in connection herewith and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith.

(d)           Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Collateral Agent as provided below, the Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Company and the Trustee. Upon any such resignation, the Company shall have the right to appoint a successor; provided that, during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default pursuant to clause Section 5.01(a), (b), (e) or (f) hereof, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes shall have the right to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Company (or, if applicable, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes) and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then such retiring Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Holders and the Trustee, petition at the expense of the Company a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as a Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Company to a successor Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After a Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article Fourteen and Article Six hereof shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Collateral Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while acting as Collateral Agent.

(e)           The benefits, protections and indemnities of the Trustee in Sections 6.03 and 6.07 hereof shall apply mutatis mutandi to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such, including, without limitation, the rights to receive and rely on Officer’s Certificates and Opinions of Counsel, reimbursement and indemnification; provided that the applicable standard of care of the Collateral Agent with respect to Sections 6.03 and 6.07 hereof shall be gross negligence and willful misconduct.

(f)            Each Holder, by its acceptance of any Notes, is deemed to have consented and agreed to the terms of the Pledge Agreement, as originally in effect and as amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time in accordance with its terms or the terms of this Indenture; and authorizes and empowers the Trustee to bind the Holders as set forth in the Pledge Agreement, if any, to which they are a party and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights and powers thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such consent or deemed consent shall be deemed or construed to represent an amendment or waiver, in whole or in part, of any provision of this Indenture or the Notes.

(g)           Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein or for the validity of the title of the Company or any grantor to the Collateral.

(h)           Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent in good faith.

(i)            Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein or for the validity of the title of the Company to the Collateral. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Indenture or the Pledge Agreement by the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors.

(j)            Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall have any duties or obligations hereunder or under the Pledge Agreement except those expressly set forth herein or therein.

(k)           For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall act only within the United States, and shall not be subject to any foreign law, be required to act in any jurisdiction located outside the United States or be required to execute any foreign law governed document.

Section 14.02.      Acceptance of the Pledge Agreement.

The Trustee and each Holder, by accepting any Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees, acknowledges that, as more fully set forth in the Pledge Agreement, the Collateral as now or hereafter constituted shall be for the benefit of all the Holders, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee, and that the Lien granted in the Pledge Agreement relating to the Notes in respect of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders is subject to and qualified and limited in all respects by the Pledge Agreement and actions that may be taken thereunder.

Section 14.03.      Further Assurances.

The Company and each Collateral Guarantor shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary that is a Collateral Guarantor to, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Trustee any and all such documents, agreements, instruments, certificates, notices and acknowledgments, and shall take or cause to be taken such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements and/or amendments thereto and other documents and such other actions or deliveries of the type described under this Article Fourteen or the Pledge Agreement (including certificates and corporate and organizational documents)), which may be required by law or which the Trustee may (without obligation to do so), from time to time, reasonably request to carry out the terms and conditions of this Indenture and the Pledge Agreement and to ensure the creation, perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Pledge Agreement, in each case, subject to the Pledge Agreement, all at the expense of the Company.

The Company and each Collateral Guarantor will (i) correct any material defect or error that may be discovered in the execution, acknowledgment, filing or recordation of the Pledge Agreement or other document or instrument relating to any Collateral and (ii) do, execute, acknowledge, deliver, record, re-record, file, re-file, register and re-register any and all such further acts (including notices to third parties), deeds, certificates, assurances and other instruments as may be required from time to time in order to carry out more effectively the purposes of the Pledge Agreement.

Section 14.04.       Release of Liens.

The release of the Liens over the property or assets constituting the Collateral securing the Notes and the Guarantees of the Collateral Guarantors will automatically and unconditionally occur upon any one or more of the following circumstances:

(a)           as to all Collateral, upon payment in full of the principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any, and all other obligations in respect of the Notes under this Indenture, the Guarantees and the Pledge Agreement that are due and payable at or prior to the time such principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any, are paid;

(b)           as to any Collateral, upon consummation of the sale, transfer or other disposition of such Collateral by the Company or of all Collateral Properties held by a Collateral Guarantor to any Person other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, to the extent such sale, transfer or other disposition is not prohibited under this Indenture, including, without limitation, in connection with an optional redemption pursuant to Section 11.01 and a permitted Collateral Asset Sale pursuant to Section 10.12;

(c)           in the case of a Collateral Guarantor that is released from its Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with respect to the Collateral provided by such Collateral Guarantor, upon the release of such Collateral Guarantor from its Subsidiary Guarantee;

(d)           upon the dissolution or liquidation of the issuer of Collateral that is not prohibited by this Indenture;

(e)           as to any Collateral, as ordered pursuant to applicable law under a final and nonappealable order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction;

(f)            as to all or substantially all Collateral, with the consent of 100% of Holders of the Notes then Outstanding; otherwise, as to any Collateral, with the consent of Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding;

(g)           as to all Collateral, in whole, upon legal defeasance, covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as provided under Article Four and Article Thirteen hereof; or

(h)           upon the incurrence of an Investment Grade Event.

The Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall execute any necessary or proper instrument or document to evidence or acknowledge the release, satisfaction or termination of any Lien securing the Notes Obligations that is requested by the Company. In the event that the Trustee or the Collateral Agent is requested by the Company to execute any necessary or proper instrument or document to evidence or acknowledge the release, satisfaction or termination of any Lien securing the Notes Obligations, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture and the Pledge Agreement to such release have been complied with and that it is permitted for the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver the instruments or documents requested by the Company in connection with such release. Any such instrument or document shall be prepared by the Company. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any such release undertaken in reliance upon any such Officer’s Certificate, and notwithstanding any term hereof or in the Pledge Agreement to the contrary, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be under any obligation to release any such Lien, or execute and deliver any such instrument or document of release, satisfaction or termination with respect thereto, unless and until it receives such Officer’s Certificate.

Section 14.05.      Compensation and Indemnification.

Without duplication of any amounts owing under Section 6.07 hereof, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to the compensation and indemnification set forth in Section 6.07 hereof (with the references to the Trustee therein being deemed to refer to the Collateral Agent and references to this Indenture therein being deemed to refer to this Indenture and the Pledge Agreement) and subject to Section 14.01(e) hereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed, all as of the day and year first above written.

The undersigned represents and warrants to you that:

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

2.       We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence.

The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date.

Each purchaser acknowledges that the Company and the Trustee reserve the right prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date of the Notes with respect to applicable transfers described in the Restricted Notes Legend to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications and/or other information satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee.
