Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any Incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated. For purposes of any calculation pursuant to this paragraph of the Consolidated Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Interest Expense may be calculated using an assumed interest rate for the Indebtedness to be Incurred in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction based on the indicative interest margin contained in any financing commitment documentation with respect to such Indebtedness or, if no such indicative interest margin exists, as reasonably determined by the Company in good faith.

(c) If the Company determines (upon the advice of counsel and such other certifications and evidence as the Company may reasonably require) that a Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor provision) without the need for current public information and that the Restricted Legend or the Regulation S Legend, as the case may be, is no longer necessary or appropriate in order to ensure that subsequent transfers of the Note (or a beneficial interest therein) are effected in compliance with the Securities Act, the Company may instruct the Trustee to cancel the Note and issue to the Holder thereof (or to its transferee) a new Note of like tenor and amount, registered in the name of the Holder thereof (or its transferee), that does not bear the Restricted Legend or the Regulation S Legend, as the case may be, and the Trustee will comply with such instruction.

(d) By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Restricted Legend or the Regulation S Legend, as the case may be (or any beneficial interest in such a Note), each Holder thereof and each owner of a beneficial interest therein acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note (and any such beneficial interest) set forth in this Indenture and in the Restricted Legend or in the Regulation S Legend, as the case may be, and agrees that it will transfer such Note (and any such beneficial interest) only in accordance with this Indenture and such legend.

(e) The Trustee and each Agent are hereby authorized to act in accordance with Applicable Procedures of any Depository. Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by any Depository.

Section 2.02. Execution and Authentication; Additional Notes. (a) An Officer shall execute the Notes for the Company by facsimile or manual signature in the name and on behalf of the Company. If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Note is authenticated, the Note will still be valid.

(b) A Note will not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature of the Trustee on a Note will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly and validly authenticated under this Indenture.

(c) At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication. The Trustee will authenticate and deliver:

(1) Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in the aggregate principal amount of $733,400,000, and

(2) Additional Notes from time to time for original issue after the Issue Date in aggregate principal amounts specified by the Company, subject to the terms of this Indenture,

in each case upon a written order of the Company signed by an Officer of the Company (an “Authentication Order”). The Authentication Order shall, in the case of any issuance of Additional Notes, specify the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated and whether the Notes will be in the form of Global Notes or Certificated Notes.

45

(d) In case the Company shall be consolidated or merged with or into or wound up into any other Person or shall sell, assign, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets and properties of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and the successor Person resulting from such consolidation, or surviving such merger, or into which the Company shall have been merged or wound up into, or the Person which shall have received a sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer or other disposition as aforesaid, shall have executed an indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article 5, any of the Notes authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer or other disposition may, from time to time, at the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Notes executed in the name of the successor Person with such changes in phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Notes surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon a written order of the successor Person signed by an Officer of the successor Person, shall authenticate and make available for delivery Notes as specified in such order for the purpose of such exchange. If Notes shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person pursuant to this Section 2.02(d) in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Notes, such successor Person, at the option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Notes at the time outstanding for Notes authenticated and delivered in such new name.

Section 2.03. Registrar, Paying Agent and Authenticating Agent; Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. (a) The Company may appoint one or more Registrars and one or more Paying Agents, and the Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent, in which case each reference in this Indenture to the Trustee in respect of the obligations of the Trustee to be performed by that Agent will be deemed to be references to the Agent. The Company may act as Registrar or (except for purposes of Article 8) Paying Agent. In each case the Company and the Trustee will enter into an appropriate agreement with the Agent implementing the provisions of this Indenture relating to the obligations of the Trustee to be performed by the Agent and the related rights. The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes. The Company may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) acceptance of any appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Company and such successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above. The appointment of an Authenticating Agent shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by a Trust Officer, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Company. 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 the Authenticating Agent.

(b) The Company will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and will promptly notify the Trustee of any Default by the Company in making any such payment. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed, and the Trustee may at any time during the

46

continuance of any Payment Default (as defined below), upon written request to a Paying Agent, require the Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent will have no further liability for the money so paid over to the Trustee.

Section 2.04. Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the loss, destruction or theft of any Note, the Company will issue and the Trustee will, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate a replacement Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. The Holder must furnish an indemnity or security that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee to protect the Trustee and in the judgment of the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee and any Agent from any loss they may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their fees and expenses in replacing a Note, including any amounts to cover any tax, assessment. In case the mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may pay the Note instead of issuing a replacement Note. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, only an Authentication Order and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate such replacement Note.

Section 2.05. Outstanding Notes. (a) Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for:

(1) Notes cancelled by the Trustee or delivered to it for cancellation;

(2) any Note which has been replaced pursuant to Section 2.04 unless and until the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser; and

(3) on or after the maturity date or any redemption date or date for purchase of the Notes pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, those Notes payable or to be redeemed or purchased on that date for which the Trustee (or Paying Agent, other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date.

(b) A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of its Affiliates holds the Note, provided that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Notes have given or taken any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action hereunder (other than in respect of any action pursuant to Section 9.02 that requires the consent of each Holder of an affected Note), Notes owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company will be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, (it being understood that in determining whether the Trustee is protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, only Notes which the Trustee knows to be so owned will be so disregarded). Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be so disregarded and shall be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee

47

the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or any Affiliate of the Company.

Section 2.06. Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee will, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have insertions, substitutions, omissions and other variations determined to be appropriate by the Officer executing the temporary Notes, as evidenced by the execution of the temporary 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 will be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Company designated for the purpose pursuant to Section 4.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any temporary Notes the Company will execute and the Trustee will, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes will be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes.

Section 2.07. Cancellation. The Company at any time may 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 for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder. Any Registrar or the Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to it for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee will cancel all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and dispose of all canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures. All canceled Notes held by the Trustee shall be held and disposed of, in each case subject to and in accordance with the Trustee’s customary procedures. Upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee shall deliver copies of such canceled Notes to the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has paid in full or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.08. CUSIP and CINS Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” and/or “CINS” numbers, and the Trustee will use CUSIP numbers or CINS numbers in notices of redemption or exchange or in Offers to Purchase as a convenience to Holders, the notice to 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 redemption or exchange or Offer to Purchase. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP or CINS numbers.

Section 2.09. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Notes will be issued in registered form only, without coupons. The Trustee shall maintain a register (the “Register”) of the Notes, for registering the record ownership of the Notes by the Holders and transfers and exchanges of the Notes.

(b) (1) The Notes shall initially be issued in the form of one or more Global Notes. Each Global Note will be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Note or its nominee and, so long as DTC is serving as the Depositary thereof, will bear the DTC Legend.

48

(2) Each Global Note will be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary. Transfers of a Global Note (but not a beneficial interest therein) will be limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees, except (i) as set forth in Section 2.09(b)(4), (ii) if the Company in its sole discretion determines that any Global Note (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Certificated Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee, and (iii) transfers of portions thereof in the form of Certificated Notes may be made upon request of an Agent Member (for itself or on behalf of a beneficial owner) if required to do so pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, by written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with customary procedures of the Depositary and the Registrar and in compliance with this Section and Section 2.10.

(3) Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) will have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever, including but not limited to notices and payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any notice to be delivered to DTC (including, but not limited to, a notice of redemption) may be delivered electronically by the Trustee or the Company in accordance with Applicable Procedures of DTC.

(4) If (x) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for a Global Note and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 120 days of the notice or (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee has received a request from Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes, the Trustee will promptly exchange each beneficial interest in the Global Note for one or more Certificated Notes as provided by the Company in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate principal amount registered in the name of the owner of such beneficial interest, as identified to the Trustee by the Depositary, and upon completion of full exchange of the positions in the Global Notes, the Global Note will be canceled. If such Global Note does not bear the Restricted Legend or the Regulation S Legend, as the case may be, then the Certificated Notes issued in exchange therefor will not bear the Restricted Legend or the Regulation S Legend, as the case may be. If such Global Note bears the Restricted Legend or the Regulation S Legend, as the case may be, then the Certificated Notes issued in exchange therefor will bear the Restricted Legend or the Regulation S Legend, as the case may be.

(c) Each Certificated Note will be registered in the name of the Holder thereof or its nominee.

49

(d) A Holder may transfer a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) to another Person or exchange a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) for another Note or Notes of any authorized denomination by presenting to the Trustee a written request therefor stating the name of the proposed transferee or requesting such an exchange, accompanied by any certification, opinion or other document required by Section 2.10. The Trustee will promptly register any transfer or exchange that meets the requirements of this Section by noting the same in the register maintained by the Trustee for the purpose; provided that:

(x) no such transfer or exchange will be effective until it is registered in such register; and

(y) neither the Trustee nor the Company will be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note for a period beginning (1) 15 days before the delivery or mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes or an Offer to Purchase or (2) 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or purchased pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption or purchase in whole or in part, except, in the case of a partial redemption or purchase, that portion of any Note not being redeemed or purchased, or (iii) if a redemption or a purchase pursuant to an Offer to Purchase is to occur after a Regular Record Date but on or before the corresponding Interest Payment Date, to register the transfer of or exchange any Note on or after the Regular Record Date and before the date of redemption or purchase. Prior to the registration of any transfer, the Company, the Trustee and their agents may deem and treat the Person in whose name the Note is registered as the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes (whether or not the Note is overdue), including without limitation the transfer or exchange of such Note, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(e) The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary. No written request with respect to any such transfer shall be required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.09(d) to effect the transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Note to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Global Note.

(f) From time to time the Company will execute and the Trustee will, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate Global Notes and Certificated Notes as necessary in order to permit the registration of a transfer or exchange in accordance with this Section 2.09.

(g) No service charge will be imposed in connection with any registration of any transfer or exchange of any Note, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than a transfer tax or other similar governmental charge payable upon exchange pursuant to subsection (b)(4)).

(h) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note other than to require delivery of such

50

certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

(i) (1) Global Note to Global Note. If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note being transferred or exchanged equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) record a like increase in the principal amount of the other Global Note. Any beneficial interest in one Global Note that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Note, or exchanged for an interest in another Global Note, will, upon transfer or exchange, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer and exchange restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest.

(2) Global Note to Certificated Note. If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a Certificated Note, the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate principal amount to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the owner of such beneficial interest (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or owner, as applicable.

(3) Certificated Note to Global Note. If a Certificated Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel such Certificated Note, (y) record an increase in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (z) in the event that such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Note, deliver to the Holder thereof one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Note, registered in the name of the Holder thereof.

(4) Certificated Note to Certificated Note. If a Certificated Note is transferred or exchanged for another Certificated Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel the Certificated Note being transferred or exchanged, (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the Holder of the canceled Certificated Note (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or Holder, as applicable, and (z) if such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Note, deliver to the Holder thereof one or more Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Note, registered in the name of the Holder thereof.

51

In the event that (i) the requested transfer or exchange takes place after the Restricted Period and a duly completed Regulation S Certificate is delivered to the Trustee or (ii) a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend is surrendered for transfer or exchange, upon transfer or exchange the Trustee will deliver a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend.

(4) The Person requesting the transfer or exchange must deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee a duly completed Rule 144A Certificate.

52

(c) No certification is required in connection with any transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) after such Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor provision) without the need for current public information; provided that the Company has provided the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate to that effect, and the Company may require from any Person requesting a transfer or exchange in reliance upon this clause (1) an opinion of counsel and any other reasonable certifications and evidence in order to support such certificate. Any Certificated Note delivered in reliance upon this Section 2.10(c) will not bear the Restricted Legend.

(d) The Trustee will retain copies of all certificates, opinions and other documents received in connection with the transfer or exchange of a Note (or a beneficial interest therein), and the Company will have the right to inspect and make copies thereof at any reasonable time upon written notice to the Trustee.

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

(4) Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent in order to collect the redemption price;

(5) on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable on Notes called for redemption, and interest on Notes called for redemption will cease to accrue on and after the redemption date;

(6) if any Note is redeemed in part only, on or after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Note for cancellation, a new Note equal in principal amount to the 

55

unredeemed portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the Holder upon cancellation of the original Note; and

(7) if any Note contains a CUSIP or CINS number, no representation is being made as to the correctness of the CUSIP or CINS number either as printed on the Notes or as contained in the notice of redemption and that the Holder should rely only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes.

(d) If fewer than all of the Notes are being redeemed, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed and in such manner as complies with applicable legal requirements and, in the case of Global Notes, the procedures of the Depositary; provided that the selection of Notes for redemption shall not result in a Holder with a principal amount of Notes less than the minimum denomination of $2,000. In the event of partial redemption, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than ten nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase. The Trustee will notify the Company promptly of the Notes or portions of Notes selected for redemption, and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

(e) Once notice of redemption is delivered or mailed to the Holders in accordance with Section 3.03(b), Notes called for redemption become due and payable at the redemption price on the redemption date, and upon surrender of the Notes called for redemption, the Company shall redeem such Notes at the redemption price, subject in each case to the satisfaction or waiver of any conditions to such redemption set forth in the notice of redemption in the case of a conditional redemption pursuant to Section 3.01(g). Commencing on the redemption date, Notes redeemed will cease to accrue interest. A notice of redemption, if delivered or mailed in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to deliver or mail a notice of redemption or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Upon surrender of any Note redeemed in part to the Trustee for cancellation, the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to the Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the surrendered Note; provided that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, only an Authentication Order and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Note.

Section 3.04. Offer to Purchase. (a) An “Offer to Purchase” means an offer by the Company to purchase Notes that is required by Section 4.10 or Section 4.14. The Company will notify the Trustee at least two Business Days (or such shorter period as the Trustee may agree) prior to the commencement of an Offer to Purchase.

Holder at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary. The Offer to Purchase shall be made to all Holders and, to the extent required by the terms of other Pari Passu Indebtedness, holders of Pari Passu Indebtedness. The notice of an Offer to Purchase, if delivered or mailed in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to deliver or mail an Offer to Purchase or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for purchase in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of any other Note.

(c) The notice of an Offer to Purchase for an Asset Sale Offer must include or state the following:

(1) that an Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Indenture;

(2) the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes and, if applicable, Pari Passu Indebtedness offered to be purchased by the Company pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer (the “Purchase Amount”);

(3) the purchase price;

(4) an expiration date for the Offer to Purchase (the “Expiration Date”) not less than ten days or more than 60 days after the commencement of the Asset Sale Offer, and a settlement date for purchase (the “Purchase Date”) not more than five Business Days after the Expiration Date;

(5) a Holder may tender all or any portion of its Notes, subject to the requirement that any portion of a Note tendered must be in minimum amounts of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof;

(6) each Holder electing to tender a Note pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer will be required to surrender such Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, the Depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent, as applicable, at the address specified in the notice, prior to the time specified in the notice on the Expiration Date in order to be accepted for purchase in the Offer to Purchase (any such Note being duly endorsed or accompanied by a duly executed written instrument of transfer);

(7) interest on any Note not tendered, or tendered but not accepted for purchase by the Company pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, will continue to accrue;

(8) on the Purchase Date the purchase price will become due and payable on each Note accepted for purchase, and interest on Notes purchased will cease to accrue on and after the Purchase Date;

(9) Holders are entitled to withdraw Notes tendered by giving notice, which must be received by the Company, the Depositary or the applicable Paying Agent, as the case may be, not later than the time specified in the notice on the Expiration Date, setting

57

forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the tendered Notes and a statement that the Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Notes purchased;

(10) (i) if Notes and, if applicable, Pari Passu Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount less than or equal to the Purchase Amount are duly tendered or surrendered by the holders or lenders thereof and not duly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, the Company will purchase all such Notes, and (ii) if Notes and, if applicable, Pari Passu Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount in excess of the Purchase Amount are duly tendered or surrendered by the holders or lenders thereof and not duly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, that the Company shall select the Notes to be purchased in the manner provided in this Indenture and, if applicable, the amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness accepted for purchase shall be determined on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness accepted for purchase (with such adjustments as may be appropriate so that only Notes in minimum amounts of $2,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof are purchased);

(11) if any Note is purchased in part only, on or after the Purchase Date, upon surrender of such Note for cancellation, a new Note or new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the Holder upon cancellation of the original Note; and

(12) if any Note contains a CUSIP or CINS number, no representation is being made as to the correctness of the CUSIP or CINS number either as printed on the Notes or as contained in the notice of the Offer to Purchase and that the Holder should rely only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes.

(d) If any Note is to be purchased in part only pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, any notice of purchase from any Holder that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that has been or is to be purchased.

(e) Prior to the purchase date, the Company shall accept validly tendered Notes for purchase as required by the Offer to Purchase and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee all Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate specifying which Notes have been accepted for purchase and directing the Trustee to cancel such Notes. On the purchase date, the purchase price will become due and payable on each Note accepted for purchase, and interest on Notes purchased will cease to accrue on and after the purchase date, subject in each case to the satisfaction or waiver of any conditions to such purchase set forth in the Offer to Purchase in the case of a conditional offer pursuant to Section 4.14(g). Upon surrender of any Note purchased in part to the Trustee for cancellation, the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to the Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the surrendered Note; provided that each such new Note shall be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, only an Authentication Order and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Note.

58

(f) If fewer than all of the Notes are being purchased, selection of the Notes for purchase will be made by the Company in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed (so long as the Trustee knows of such listing) and in such manner as complies with applicable legal requirements and, in the case of Global Notes, the procedures of the Depositary; provided that the selection of Notes for purchase shall not result in a Holder with a principal amount of Notes less than the minimum denomination of $2,000. The Company will notify the Trustee promptly of the Notes or portions of Notes selected for purchase, and, in the case of any Note selected for partial purchase, the principal amount thereof to be purchased.

(g) To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this covenant and the Company complies with the applicable securities laws and regulations, then the Company shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Indenture by virtue thereof.

The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for the filing, timeliness, or content of such reports.

The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby expressly waives, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, 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.

If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary makes a Restricted Payment that, at the time of the making of such Restricted Payment, in the good faith determination of the Company, would be permitted under this Indenture, such Restricted Payment shall be deemed to have been made in compliance with this Indenture notwithstanding any subsequent adjustments made in good faith to the financial statements of the Company (or any direct or indirect parent of the Company) affecting Consolidated Net Income or Consolidated EBITDA.

(e) For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments and/or Permitted Investments in an amount determined as set forth in the definition of “Investment.” Such designation shall be permitted only if a Restricted Payment and/or Permitted Investment in such amount would be permitted at such time and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall make any Investment in, Restricted Payment to, or otherwise dispose of any Material Restricted Assets to, any Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Company may, and may permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, transfer any Satellite that is a Material Restricted Asset to an SPV Satellite Company to the extent that such transfer is required by applicable regulatory requirements or failure to transfer the Satellite to an SPV Satellite Company would result in material adverse tax consequences to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company shall not permit any SPV Satellite Company to engage in any activities other than owning and operating a Satellite and activities incidental thereto, or to incur any Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Indebtedness owing to the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor or the Restricted Subsidiary from which such Satellite was acquired).

Section 4.08. Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Subsidiary Guarantor) to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or

68

become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Subsidiary Guarantor) to:

(1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on Common Stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock);

(2) make any loans or advances to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the subordination of loans or advances made to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances); or

(3) sell, lease or transfer any of its assets or property to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that such transfers shall not include any type of transfer described in clause (1) or (2) above).

(b) Section 4.08(a) shall not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(1) contractual encumbrances or restrictions of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in effect on the Issue Date, including, without limitation, pursuant to the Senior Credit Facility, the Ex-Im Credit Facility, the Existing Notes due 2025, the Existing Notes due 2027, the Existing Notes due 2028, the Term Loan Facilities, related Hedging Obligations and Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 4.09(b)(3);

(2) this Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees;

(3) any agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by or merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or of an Unrestricted Subsidiary that is designated a Restricted Subsidiary, in each case that was in existence at the time of such acquisition (or at the time it merges, amalgamates or consolidates with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or is assumed in connection with the acquisition of assets or property from such Person) or designation, but, in each case, not created in contemplation thereof, which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the assets or property of any Person, other than the Person and its Subsidiaries, or the assets or property of the Person and its Subsidiaries, so acquired or designated (including after-acquired assets and property);

(4) in the case of Section 4.08(a)(3), Permitted Liens or Liens otherwise permitted to be Incurred under the provisions of Section 4.12 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of assets or property subject to such Liens;

(5) purchase money obligations, mortgage financings, Capitalized Lease Obligations and similar obligations or agreements permitted under this Indenture, in each

69

case, that impose encumbrances or restrictions of the nature described in Section 4.08(a)(3) with respect to the assets or property purchased, acquired, financed, designed, developed, leased, constructed, repaired, replaced, maintained, installed, improved or insured in connection therewith or thereby (including any proceeds thereof, accessions thereto and any upgrades or improvements thereto);

(6) encumbrances or restrictions contained in agreements for the sale, transfer or other disposition of assets or property, including without limitation customary restrictions with respect to a Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to an agreement that has been entered into for the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or a portion of the Capital Stock, assets or property of such Subsidiary;

(9) any provisions in leases, subleases, licenses, sublicenses, asset sale agreements, sale/leaseback agreements or stock sale agreements and other agreements entered into by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that (x) are customary and entered into in the ordinary course of business or (y) do not adversely affect the Company’s ability to make payments of principal or interest payments on the Notes when due (as determined by the Company in good faith);

(10) applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order, or any license, permit or other authorization issued by any governmental or regulatory authority;

(11) encumbrances or restrictions arising or agreed to in the ordinary course of business, not relating to any Indebtedness, and that do not, individually or in the aggregate, (x) detract from the value of the assets or property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in any manner material to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (as determined by the Company in good faith), or (y) materially affect the Company’s ability to make payments of principal or interest payments on the Notes when due (as determined by the Company in good faith);

(12) contractual encumbrances or restrictions contained in any Debt Facilities or other Indebtedness Incurred by any Foreign Subsidiary permitted to be incurred in accordance with Section 4.09;

70

(14) contractual encumbrances or restrictions arising under any agreement or instrument which, if it relates to Indebtedness, shall only be permitted if such Indebtedness is permitted to be Incurred in accordance with Section 4.09 if such encumbrances and restrictions contained in any agreement or instrument, (x) are not materially more restrictive, when taken as a whole, than those applicable in the Senior Credit Facility on the Issue Date (as determined by the Company in good faith), or (y) either (A) do not adversely affect the Company’s ability to make payments of principal or interest payments on the Notes when due (as determined by the Company in good faith), or (B) such encumbrances or restrictions apply only during the continuance of a default relating to such agreement or instrument; or

(15) any encumbrances or restrictions imposed by any amendment, restatement, modification, renewal, increase, supplement, extension, refunding, replacement or refinancing of any of the contracts, agreements or other instruments referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) through (12) of this Section 4.08(b); provided, however, that the encumbrances or restrictions contained in such amendment, restatement, modification, renewal, increase, supplement, extension, refunding, replacement or refinancing are, in the good faith judgment of the Company, not materially more restrictive, when taken as a whole, than the encumbrances and restrictions prior to such amendment, restatement, modification, renewal, increase, supplement, extension, refunding, replacement or refinancing.

Section 4.09. Limitation on Indebtedness. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness); provided, however, that the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary may Incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries, calculated as of the date on which such additional Indebtedness is Incurred, would have been no greater than 4.10 to 1.00 (“Ratio Debt”); provided, further, however, that any Ratio Debt does not (i) have a maturity date earlier than the maturity date of the Notes and (ii) does not have a shorter Weighted Average Life to Maturity than the Notes; provided that the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) outstanding at any one time that may be Incurred pursuant to the foregoing by Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, together with any amounts incurred or issued, as applicable, and outstanding by Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries pursuant to clauses (9) and (24) below, shall not exceed the greater of (x) $426.0 million or (y) 30.0% of the Consolidated EBITDA of the Company for the most recently ended four consecutive fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements prepared on a consolidated basis are available, calculated on a Pro Forma Basis (provided, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to Indebtedness of any Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary in connection with an acquisition or any other Investment not prohibited by Section 4.07 (or of any Person not previously a Restricted Subsidiary that is merged or consolidated with or into the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) if such Indebtedness is outstanding prior to such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary and to the extent such Indebtedness is not incurred in contemplation of such acquisition or Investment).

form of additional Indebtedness, the payment of dividends in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock of the same class, the accretion of liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this covenant;

(6) the amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date shall be (i) the accreted value thereof in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount or the aggregate principal amount outstanding in the case of Indebtedness issued with interest payable in kind and (ii) the principal amount or liquidation preference thereof in the case of any other Indebtedness; and

(7) the principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance or replace other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced or replaced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

Unsecured Indebtedness shall not be treated as subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured and Indebtedness shall not be treated as subordinated or junior to any other Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral.

If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date (and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be Incurred as of such date under this Section 4.09, the Company shall be in Default of this Section 4.09).

For all purposes under this Indenture (including, without limitation, for purposes of calculating the Consolidated Senior Secured Debt Ratio or the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as applicable), in connection with the Incurrence of any Indebtedness or the Incurrence of any Lien pursuant to the definition of “Permitted Liens” or otherwise, the Company may elect, at its option, to treat all or any portion of the committed amount of any Indebtedness (including the issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder) which is to be Incurred (or any commitment in respect thereof) or secured by such ▇▇▇▇, as the case may be (any such committed amount so elected until revoked as described below, the “Reserved Indebtedness Amount”), as being Incurred as of such election date, and, if such Consolidated Senior Secured Debt Ratio or Consolidated Leverage Ratio or other provision of this Indenture, as applicable, is complied with (or satisfied) with respect thereto on such election date, any subsequent borrowing or reborrowing thereunder (and the issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder) will be deemed to be permitted under this covenant or the definition of “Permitted Liens,” as applicable, whether or not the Consolidated Senior Secured Debt Ratio or Consolidated Leverage Ratio or other provision of this Indenture, as applicable, at the actual time of any subsequent borrowing or reborrowing (or issuance or creation of letters of credit or bankers’ acceptances thereunder) is complied with (or satisfied) for all purposes (including as to the absence of any continuing Default or Event of Default), for so long as such commitments are outstanding or until the Company revokes an election of a

79

Reserved Indebtedness Amount, and such Indebtedness shall be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of the calculation of the Consolidated Senior Secured Debt Ratio or Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as applicable, until the Company revokes an election of a Reserved Indebtedness Amount.

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed or first Incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. dollar-equivalent), in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced (plus accrued and unpaid interest and the aggregate amount of premiums (including tender premiums), underwriting discounts, defeasance costs and fees, discounts and expenses in connection therewith).

In the case of any refinancing of any Indebtedness or any portion thereof, the amount of Indebtedness being incurred to finance the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid interest, dividends, premiums (including tender premiums), underwriting discounts, defeasance costs and fees, discounts and expenses (including original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees) in connection with such refinancing will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this covenant.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.09 to the contrary, in the case of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance Indebtedness initially incurred in reliance on the second paragraph of this covenant, measured by reference to a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets at the time of incurrence, and such refinancing would cause the percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets restriction to be exceeded if calculated based on the percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets on the date of such refinancing, such percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets restriction shall not be deemed to be exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced, plus accrued and unpaid interest, dividends, premiums (including tender premiums), underwriting discounts, defeasance costs and fees, discounts and expenses (including original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees) in connection with such refinancing.

Section 4.10. Limitation on Asset Sales. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate any Asset Sale unless:

(1) the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, receives consideration at least equal to the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Company at the time of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale) of the

80

Capital Stock, assets or property sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to such Asset Sale; and

(2) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, if the Capital Stock, assets or property sold or otherwise disposed of have a fair market value in excess of the greater of $355.0 million and 25% of the Consolidated EBITDA of the Company for the most recently ended four consecutive fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements prepared on a consolidated basis are available, calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, at least 75.0% of the consideration from such Asset Sale received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents or Replacement Assets; provided, that the amount of:

(A) any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the notes thereto for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding such date or, if incurred or accrued subsequent to the date of such balance sheet, such liabilities that would have been reflected on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s balance sheet or in the notes thereto if such incurrence or accrual had taken place on or prior to the date of such balance sheet in the good faith determination of the Company) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes) that are extinguished, terminated or canceled in connection with the transactions relating to such Asset Sale, or that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets, property or Capital Stock (or a third party in connection with such transfer), in each case, pursuant to an agreement that releases or indemnifies the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from further liability therefor;

(B) any securities, notes or other obligations or other assets or property received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents, or by their terms are required to be satisfied for cash or Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received), in each case within 180 days following the receipt thereof;

(C) Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Sale (other than intercompany debt owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary), to the extent that the Company and each other Restricted Subsidiary are released from any guarantee of payment of the principal amount of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Sale in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and

(D) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this subclause (D) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $650.0 million and (y) 5.0% of Total Assets, calculated at the time of the receipt of such Designated Noncash Consideration (with the

81

Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received without giving effect to subsequent changes in value);

shall each be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for purposes of this clause (2).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 75.0% limitation referred to in clause (2) of this Section 4.10(a) shall be deemed satisfied with respect to any Asset Sale in which the cash, Cash Equivalents and Replacement Assets portion of the consideration received therefrom, determined in accordance with the foregoing provision on an after-tax basis, if the proceeds before tax would have complied with the aforementioned 75.0% limitation.

(b) Within 540 days after the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale (or any portion thereof) as follows:

(1) to repay, prepay, defease, redeem, reduce, purchase or otherwise retire (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto in the case of revolving borrowings) Obligations in respect of any Secured Indebtedness;

(2) to repay, prepay, defease, redeem, reduce, purchase or otherwise retire (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto in the case of revolving borrowings) Obligations in respect of any Indebtedness of any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary (other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary);

(3) to repay, prepay, defease, redeem, reduce, purchase or otherwise retire (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto in the case of revolving borrowings) Obligations in respect of the Notes or any other Indebtedness of the Company (other than any Disqualified Stock or Subordinated Obligations) or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Disqualified Stock or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations) (in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary); provided that, to the extent either the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary will so repay any such Indebtedness (other than the Notes), the Company shall equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Notes by, at its option, (i) redeeming Notes as provided under Section 3.01, (ii) purchasing Notes through open market purchases, or (iii) by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the amount of Notes that would otherwise be prepaid;

(4) to make an investment in, purchase or otherwise acquire any one or more businesses, assets, properties or capital expenditures, in each case used or useful in a Similar Business or to make payments (including without limitation prepayments and progress payments) in connection with such investment, purchase or other acquisition; provided, that if such investment, purchase or acquisition is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock of a Person, such investment, purchase or acquisition results in such

82

Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary or increases the Company’s direct or indirect percentage ownership of the Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary;

(5) to make an investment in, purchase or otherwise acquire any one or more businesses, assets or properties that replace the businesses, assets and/or properties that are the subject to such Asset Sale; or

(6) any combination of the foregoing,

provided, that the Company and its Subsidiaries will be deemed to have complied with the provisions described in clause (4) or (5) of this Section 4.10(b) if and to the extent that, within 540 days after the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, has entered into a binding commitment to make an investment, purchase or other acquisition in compliance with the provision described in clause (4) or (5) of this Section 4.10(b) with the good faith expectation that such Net Cash Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment, and that investment, purchase or other acquisition is thereafter completed within 180 days after the end of such 540-day period; and provided, further that, in the case of clause (3) above, if an offer to purchase any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is made, such amount will be deemed repaid to the extent of the amount of such offer, whether or not accepted by the holders of such Indebtedness, and no Net Cash Proceeds in the amount of such offer will be deemed to exist following such offer, and (ii) if the holder of any Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company declines the repayment of such Indebtedness owed to it from such Net Cash Proceeds such amount will be deemed repaid to the extent of the declined Net Cash Proceeds.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that repatriation to the United States of any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sales received or deemed to be received by a Foreign Subsidiary (x) is prohibited or delayed by applicable local law (y) is restricted by applicable organizational documents or any agreement, or (z) would have an adverse tax consequence ( which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes, but is not limited to, any prepayment out of Net Cash Proceeds whereby doing so the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective affiliates and/or equity owners would incur a tax liability, including a tax dividend, deemed divided pursuant to Code Section 956 or a withholding tax) or otherwise be subject to other onerous organizational or administrative impediments from being repatriated to the United States, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied in compliance with this covenant; provided that clause (x) of this paragraph shall apply to such amounts so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Company hereby agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts (as determined in the Company’s reasonable business judgment) to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law, applicable organizational impediments or other impediment to permit such repatriation), and if such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law and is not subject to clause (y) or (z) of this paragraph, then, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds will be applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) in compliance

83

with this covenant. The time periods set forth in this covenant shall not start until such time as the Net Cash Proceeds may be repatriated (whether or not such repatriation actually occurs).

(d) Pending the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Indebtedness (including under a revolving Debt Facility) or otherwise invest or utilize such Net Cash Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. The Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may elect to invest in the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to receiving the Net Cash Proceeds attributable to any given Asset Sale (provided that such investment shall be made no earlier than execution of a definitive agreement for the relevant Asset Sale) and deem the amount so invested to be applied pursuant to and in accordance with clauses (4) or (5) above with respect to such Asset Sale. In the event that any amount of Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale that is not applied or invested as provided and within the time period set forth in Section 4.10(b) (provided that any amount of proceeds offered to Holders of Indebtedness pursuant to clause (3) of Section 4.10(b) or pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer made at any time after the Asset Sale shall be deemed to have been applied as required and shall not be deemed Excess Proceeds without regard to the extent to which such offer is accepted by the Holders exceeds the greater of $575.0 million and 40% of the Consolidated EBITDA of the Company for the most recently ended four consecutive fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements prepared on a consolidated basis are available, calculated on a Pro Forma Basis (such amount of Net Cash Proceeds in excess of such amount, “Excess Proceeds”), the Company will be required to make an offer (“Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Notes and, to the extent required by the terms of other Pari Passu Indebtedness, to all holders of other Pari Passu Indebtedness outstanding with similar provisions requiring the Company (or the Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable) to make an offer to purchase such Pari Passu Indebtedness with the proceeds from any Asset Sale, to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and any such Pari Passu Indebtedness to which the Asset Sale Offer applies that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of the Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but not including) the date of purchase (or such lesser price with respect to the Pari Passu Indebtedness, if any, as may be provided by the terms of such Indebtedness), in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture or the agreements governing the Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable. The Company may, at its option, satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to all or a part of the Net Cash Proceeds (the “Advance Portion”) in advance of being required to do so by this Indenture (an “Advance Offer”).

(e) To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness so properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds (or, in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion) (any such amount, “Retained Declined Proceeds”) for any purpose not prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof and other Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by Holders or lenders, collectively, exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds (or, in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion), selection of Notes for purchase will be made by the Company in accordance with Section 3.04(f). Upon completion of such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds (or, in the case of an Advance Offer, the Advance Portion) shall be reset at zero. An Asset Sale

84

Offer may be made at the same time as consents are solicited with respect to an amendment, supplement or waiver of this Indenture, the Notes and/or Subsidiary Guarantees.

Section 4.11. Limitation on Affiliate Transactions. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into or conduct any transaction (including for the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of the Company involving aggregate consideration in excess of the greater of (x) $175.0 million and (y) 12.5% of the Consolidated EBITDA of the Company for the most recently ended four consecutive fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements prepared on a consolidated basis are available, calculated on a Pro Forma Basis (an “Affiliate Transaction”) unless:

(1) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are not materially less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, when taken as a whole, than those that would have been obtained by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in a comparable transaction at the time of such transaction on an arm’s-length basis with a Person who is not an Affiliate (as determined in good faith by the Company); and

(2) in the event such Affiliate Transaction involves an aggregate consideration in excess of the greater of (x) $215.0 million and (y) 15.0% of the Consolidated EBITDA of the Company for the most recently ended four consecutive fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements prepared on a consolidated basis are available, calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, the terms of such transaction have been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company and the Board of Directors of the Company shall have determined in good faith that such Affiliate Transaction satisfies the criteria in clause (1) above.

(b) Section 4.11(a) shall not apply to:

(1) (i) any transaction between or among the Company and/or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or an entity that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction) or (ii) guarantees issued by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary for the benefit of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in compliance with Section 4.09, as applicable;

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

(3) any employment, consulting, service or termination agreement, or indemnification arrangement, entered into by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary with a future, current or former director, officer, employee, manager, consultant or independent contractor of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (or any direct or indirect parent of the Company to the extent such agreements or arrangements are in respect of services performed for the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries); the payment of compensation or expense reimbursement to any future, current or former director, officer, employee, manager, consultant or independent contractor of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (including amounts paid pursuant to any benefit plan

85

or arrangement, any health, disability or similar insurance plan or any stock option, employee stock purchase or similar plans); or any issuance of securities, or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, employment agreements and other compensation arrangements, options to purchase Capital Stock of the Company, subscription agreements, restricted stock plans, restricted stock unit plans, long-term incentive plans, stock appreciation rights plans, participation plans or similar employee benefits plans and/or indemnity provided on behalf of future, current or former directors, officers, employees, managers, consultants or independent contractors of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, in each case in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company;

(4) payments, loans, advances or guarantees (or cancellation of loans, advances or guarantees) to employees, officers, directors, managers, consultants or independent contractors for bona fide business purposes or in the ordinary course of business, in an aggregate amount not in excess of $50.0 million outstanding at any time;

(5) any agreement or arrangement as in effect as of the Issue Date (as such agreement or arrangement may be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed or replaced from time to time, so long as any such amendment, modification, supplement, extension, renewal or replacement, when taken as a whole, is not materially more disadvantageous to the Holders (as determined in good faith by the Company) than the terms of the original agreement or arrangement in effect on the Issue Date) or any transaction contemplated thereby;

(6) any agreement between any Person and an Affiliate of such Person existing at the time such Person is acquired by or merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, as such agreement may be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed or replaced from time to time, or any transaction contemplated thereby; provided that such agreement was not entered into contemplation of such acquisition, merger or consolidation, and so long as any such amendment, modification, supplement, extension, renewal or replacement, when taken as a whole, is not materially more disadvantageous to the Holders than the applicable agreement as in effect on the date of such acquisition, merger or consolidation (as determined in good faith by the Company);

(7) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, contractors, joint venture partners or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and which are fair to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries or are on terms that are not materially less favorable, when taken as a whole, to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unaffiliated party (in each case, as determined in good faith by the Company);

(8) any transaction with a joint venture or Unrestricted Subsidiary that is (i) in the ordinary course of business or (ii) in the best interests of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries and does not affect the Company’s ability to make payments of

86

principal or interest payments on the Notes when due (as determined in good faith by the Company);

(9) the entry into or performance by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations under any joint venture agreement, stockholders agreement, partnership agreement, LLC agreement and other similar agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto);

(10) any transaction with a Person that would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary owns, directly or indirectly (including through an Unrestricted Subsidiary) Capital Stock of or otherwise controls such Person;

(11) transactions between the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any Person that would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because such Person is a director, or such Person has a director who is also a director, of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company; provided, however, that such director abstains from voting as a director of the Company or such direct or indirect parent of the Company, as the case may be, on any matter involving such other Person;

(12) any issuance or sale of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) to Affiliates of the Company and the granting of registration and other customary rights with respect thereto;

(13) transactions in which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary delivers to the Trustee a letter or opinion from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or stating that the terms are not materially less favorable, when taken as a whole, than those that might reasonably have been obtained by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in a comparable transaction at such time on an arms-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate; and

(14) intercompany transactions undertaken in good faith for the purpose of improving the consolidated tax efficiency of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries and not for the purpose of circumventing any covenant set forth in this Indenture.

Section 4.12. Limitation on Liens. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiary Guarantors to, directly or indirectly, create or incur any Lien securing Indebtedness (other than Permitted Liens) upon any asset or property of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor or proceeds thereof, unless:

(1) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Obligations or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations, to the extent the Notes and any Subsidiary Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such assets or property and the proceeds thereof that is senior in priority to such Liens; or

87

(2) in all other cases, to the extent the Notes and any Subsidiary Guarantee are secured by a Lien on such assets or property and the proceeds thereof equally and ratably with or prior to such Liens.

(b) Any Lien that is granted to secure the Notes and any Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to this Section 4.12 shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged at the same time as the release and discharge of the Lien that gave rise to the obligation to secure the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantee under Section 4.12(a).

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.12, (x) a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness need not be permitted solely by reference to one category (or portion thereof) of Permitted Liens described in the definition thereof, but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof and (y) in the event that a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories of Permitted Liens described in the definition thereof, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, be entitled to divide, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify, or reclassify, in whole or in part, any such Lien (or any portion thereof) in any manner.

The expansion of Liens by virtue of accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of dividends in the form of Indebtedness, the payment of dividends on Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock of the same class accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference, increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness, will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Liens for purposes of this Section 4.12.

Section 4.13. Existence. The Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and the existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries in accordance with their respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time), and the material rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, provided that the Company is not required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the existence of any Restricted Subsidiary, in each case if the Company in good faith shall determine that the maintenance or preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole; and provided further that this Section does not prohibit any transaction otherwise permitted by Section 4.07 or Article 5.

Section 4.14. Offer to Repurchase Upon a Change of Control.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has previously or concurrently exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the date of purchase).

88

(b) Prior to or within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has previously or concurrently exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01, the Company shall deliver a notice (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder or otherwise give notice in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary, with a copy to the Trustee, stating:

(1) that a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred or, if the Change of Control Offer is being made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, that a Change of Control Triggering Event is expected to occur, and that such Holder has, or upon such occurrence will have, the right to require the Company to purchase such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101.0% of the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on a Regular Record Date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date) (the “Change of Control Payment”);

(2) the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than ten days nor, except in the case of a conditional Change of Control Offer made in advance of a Change of Control, later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered) (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(3) if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control or Change of Control Triggering Event, that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event (and a notice is delivered to the Trustee documenting satisfaction or failure of such condition); and

(4) the procedures determined by the Company, consistent with this Indenture, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes repurchased.

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

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

(2) deposit with the applicable Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn; and

(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company in accordance with the terms of this covenant.

The applicable Paying Agent shall promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any, in accordance with Section 3.04(e).

89

(c) Prior to making a Change of Control Payment, and as a condition to such payment (1) the requisite holders of each issue of Indebtedness issued under an indenture or other agreement that may be violated by such payment shall have consented to such Change of Control Payment being made and waived the event of default, if any, caused by the Change of Control or (2) the Company will repay all outstanding Indebtedness issued under an indenture or other agreement that may be violated by a Change of Control Payment or the Company must offer to repay all such Indebtedness, and make payment to the holders of such Indebtedness that accept such offer and obtain waivers of any event of default arising under the relevant indenture or other agreement from the remaining holders of such Indebtedness. The Company covenants to effect such repayment or obtain such consent prior to making a Change of Control Payment, it being a Default of this Section 4.14 if the Company fails to comply with this Section 4.14(c).

(d) If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after a Regular Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be paid on the relevant Interest Payment Date to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date.

(e) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

(f) The Company or a third party may, at its option, redeem the Notes upon not less than ten nor more than 60 days’ notice, given not more than 30 days following the consummation of the Change of Control Offer, at a redemption price of 101.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date falling on or prior to such redemption date), in connection with the consummation of a Change of Control if at least 90.0% of the Notes outstanding prior to the Change of Control Payment Date are purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer with respect to such Change of Control.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, conditional upon such Change of Control Triggering Event.

Section 4.15. Future Subsidiary Guarantors.

(a) The Company shall cause any domestic Restricted Subsidiary that borrows under or Guarantees the Senior Credit Facility after the Issue Date to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture to this Indenture within 60 days thereof, the form of which is attached as Exhibit B hereto, pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary will irrevocably and unconditionally Guarantee, on a joint and several basis, the full and prompt payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest in respect of the Notes on a senior basis and all other obligations under this Indenture.

90

(b) The Company may elect, in its sole discretion, to cause any Restricted Subsidiary that is not otherwise required to be a Subsidiary Guarantor to become a Subsidiary Guarantor, in which case, such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be required to comply with the 60-day period described above and such Subsidiary Guarantee may be released at any time in the Company’s sole discretion so long as any Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary then outstanding could have been incurred by such Restricted Subsidiary (either (x) when so incurred or (y) at the time of the release of such Subsidiary Guarantee) assuming such Restricted Subsidiary were not a Subsidiary Guarantor at such time.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Subsidiary Guarantee shall provide by its terms that it shall be automatically and unconditionally released or discharged under the circumstances described in Section 10.06.

Section 4.16. [Reserved].

Section 4.17. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. (a) The Board of Directors of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company may designate any Subsidiary of the Company (including any existing Subsidiary and any newly acquired or newly formed Subsidiary or a Person becoming a Subsidiary through merger, amalgamation or consolidation or Investment therein) to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary only if:

(1) such Subsidiary or any of its Subsidiaries has not Guaranteed any Capital Stock or Indebtedness of, and does not own any Capital Stock in, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and does not hold any Liens on any property or assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Subsidiary of the Subsidiary to be so designated);

(2) all the Indebtedness of such Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries shall, at the date of designation, and will for so long as it is an Unrestricted Subsidiary, consist of Non-Recourse Debt; and

(3) the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Subsidiary complies with Section 4.07 or constitutes a Permitted Investment.

Any such designation by the Board of Directors of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company after the Issue Date shall be evidenced to the Trustee by delivering to the Trustee a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complies with the foregoing conditions.

(b) The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that immediately after giving effect to such designation, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof and either (i) the Company would be permitted to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness as Ratio Debt after giving effect to such designation or (ii) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the Company after giving effect to such designation would be equal to or greater than such ratio immediately prior to such designation.

91

Section 4.18. Suspension of Certain Covenants. (a) Following the first day (the “Suspension Date”) that:

(1) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from two of the Rating Agencies; and

(2) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder,

the Subsidiary Guarantees will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged and the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to the covenants in Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11 and 4.15 and Section 5.01(a)(4) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). If at any time following a Suspension Date the Notes’ credit rating is downgraded from an Investment Grade Rating by any Rating Agency such that the Notes do not have an Investment Grade Rating by any two Rating Agencies, then the Suspended Covenants will thereafter be reinstated (such date, the “Reinstatement Date”) and be applicable pursuant to the terms of this Indenture with respect to future events, unless and until a subsequent Suspension Date occurs (in which event the Suspended Covenants shall no longer be in effect until a subsequent Reinstatement Date occurs). The period of time between Suspension Date and the Reinstatement Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.”

(b) Notwithstanding the reinstatement of the Suspended Covenants upon a Reinstatement Date, no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to have occurred or exist under this Indenture, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period, or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior to the Reinstatement Date, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall be permitted, without causing a Default or Event of Default or breach of any of the Suspended Covenants (notwithstanding the reinstatement thereof) under this Indenture, to honor, comply with or otherwise perform any contractual commitments or obligations entered into during a Suspension Period following a Reinstatement Date and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby; provided that, to the extent any such commitment or obligation results in the making of a Restricted Payment, such Restricted Payment shall be made under Section 4.07(a)(C) or under Section 4.07(b) and, if not permitted by any of such provisions, such Restricted Payment shall be deemed permitted under Section 4.07(a)(C) and shall be deducted for purposes of calculating the amount pursuant to such Section 4.07(a)(C) (so that the amount available under such Section 4.07(a)(C) immediately following such Restricted Payment shall be negative).

(c) On each Reinstatement Date, all Indebtedness Incurred during the applicable Suspension Period will be classified to have been Incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(b)(3). Calculations made after each Reinstatement Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 will be made as though Section 4.07 had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period. Upon the Suspension Date, the amount of Excess Proceeds from Asset Sales shall be reset at zero. In addition, for purposes of Section 4.11, all transactions entered into by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary with an Affiliate of the

92

Company during the Suspension Period shall be deemed to have been entered into pursuant to Section 4.11(b)(5), and for purposes of Section 4.08, all agreements and instruments entered into during the Suspension Period that contain any of the restrictions contemplated by such covenant shall be deemed to have been entered into pursuant to Section 4.08(b)(1).

(d) In addition, during the Suspension Period, any Subsidiary Guarantees will be automatically released and the obligation to grant further Subsidiary Guarantees will be suspended. Upon the Reinstatement Date, the obligation to grant Subsidiary Guarantees pursuant to Section 4.15 will be reinstated (and the Reinstatement Date will be deemed to be the date on which any Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facility was guaranteed or Incurred, as applicable, for purposes of Section 4.15).

(e) During any Suspension Period, the Board of Directors of the Company may not designate any of the Company’s Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this Indenture.

(f) The Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee of the occurrence of any Suspension Date or Reinstatement Date. The Trustee shall have no obligation to (i) independently determine or verify if such events have occurred, (ii) make any determination regarding the impact of actions taken during the Suspension Period on future compliance by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries with their covenants or (iii) notify the holders of the occurrence of any action that results in a Suspension Date or Reinstatement Date.

ARTICLE 5

MERGER AND CONSOLIDATION

Section 5.01. Merger and Consolidation. (a) The Company shall not consolidate with or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not the Company is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets and properties of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless:

(1) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”) is the Company or will be a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, limited partnership or trust organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State of the United States, the District of Columbia or any territory of the United States; provided that if such Person is not a corporation, such Person will immediately cause a Subsidiary that is organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State of the United States, the District of Columbia or any territory of the United States and that is a corporation to be added as a co-issuer of the Notes under this Indenture;

(2) the Successor Company (if other than the Company) assumes all of the obligations of the Company under the Notes and this Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture;

93

(3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(4) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction and any related financing transactions, as if such transactions had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-fiscal-quarter period, either:

(A) the Successor Company would be able to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness as Ratio Debt, or

(B) either (i) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio for the Successor Company would be equal to or greater than such ratio for the Company immediately prior to such transaction, or (ii) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the Successor Company is equal to or less than such ratio immediately prior to such transaction; and

(5) each Subsidiary Guarantor (unless it is the other party to the transactions above, in which case clause (1) shall apply) shall have confirmed in writing to the Trustee that its Subsidiary Guarantee shall apply to such Person’s obligations in respect of this Indenture and the Notes.

Notwithstanding the preceding clauses (3) and (4),

(1) any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate with, merge with or into or sell, assign, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or part of its assets and properties to the Company so long as no Capital Stock of the Restricted Subsidiary is distributed to any Person other than the Company, and

(2) the Company may merge with an Affiliate of the Company solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Company in another jurisdiction.

(b) Subject to the provisions in this Indenture governing release of a Subsidiary Guarantee upon the sale or disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor, the Company shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to consolidate with or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not the Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets and properties to, any Person (other than to the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor) unless:

(1) if such entity remains a Subsidiary Guarantor, (a) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Guarantor”) will be a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, limited partnership or trust organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State of the United States, the District of Columbia or any other territory thereof; (b) the Successor Guarantor, if other than such Subsidiary Guarantor or another Subsidiary Guarantor, expressly assumes all of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Notes and this Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture or other customary documents or instruments; (c) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and (d) if the Successor Guarantor is other than such Subsidiary Guarantor or

94

another Subsidiary Guarantor, the Company will have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture comply with this Indenture; and

(2) the transaction is made in compliance with Section 4.10 to the extent applicable (it being understood that only such portion of the Net Cash Proceeds as is required to be applied on the date of such transaction in accordance with the terms of this Indenture needs to be applied in accordance therewith at such time) and this Section 5.01.

(c) In addition, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, lease, or permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to lease, all or substantially all of the properties of it and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to any other Person.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Subsidiary Guarantor may (x) consolidate with, merge with or into or sell, assign, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or part of its assets and properties to another Subsidiary Guarantor or the Company (or with or into or to a Restricted Subsidiary, if that Restricted Subsidiary becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor), (y) merge with a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Subsidiary Guarantor in a State of the United States or the District of Columbia, as long as the amount of Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby, and the resulting entity remains or becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor, or (z) consolidate with, merge with or into or sell, assign, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or part of its assets and properties to a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary so long as (A) to the extent constituting an Investment, such Investment is otherwise permitted under Section 4.07 or (B) to the extent constituting an Asset Sale, such Asset Sale is at Fair Market Value and any promissory note or other non-cash consideration received in respect thereof is a permitted Investment in a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary in accordance with Section 4.07.

(e) For purposes of this Section 5.01, the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets and properties of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company, which assets and properties, if held by the Company instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the assets and properties of the Company on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the disposition of all or substantially all of the assets and properties of the Company.

Section 5.02. Successor Entity Substituted.

Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets and properties of the Company in accordance with Section 5.01 hereof, the Company shall be released from its obligations under this Indenture, and the Successor Company shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the Company shall refer instead to the Successor Company and not to the Company), and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture and the Notes. Subject to the limitations described in this Indenture, the Successor Guarantor will succeed to, and be substituted for, such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor.

ARTICLE 6

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.01. Events of Default.

(a) An “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):

(1) default in any payment of interest on any Note when due, continued for 30 days;

(2) default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, on any Note when due at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required repurchase, upon acceleration or otherwise;

(3) failure by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to comply for 60 days after receipt of written notice as provided below with any of its obligations, covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture (other than a Default referred to in clause (1)or (2) above); provided, that in the case of a failure to comply with Section 4.03 such period of continuance of such default or breach shall be 270 days after receipt of written notice as provided below;

(4) default by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is Guaranteed by the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries), other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists or is created after the Issue Date, which default:

(A) is caused by a failure, after the expiration of any applicable grace periods provided in such Indebtedness, to pay principal of such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity (“Payment Default”); or

(B) relates to an obligation other than the obligation to pay principal of any such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity and results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its stated maturity;

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at stated final maturity (after the expiration of any applicable grace periods provided in such Indebtedness), or the stated maturity of which has been so accelerated, exceeds $100.0 million or more at any one time outstanding;

(5) an involuntary case or other proceeding is commenced against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect seeking the

96

appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or substantially all of its property, and such involuntary case or other proceeding remains undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days; or an order for relief is entered against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary under the federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter in effect that remains undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60 consecutive days;

(6) the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries (i) commences a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect with respect to itself, or consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case under any such law, (ii) consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or for all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or (iii) effects any general assignment for the benefit of creditors;

(7) failure by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary to pay final and non-appealable judgments aggregating in excess of $250.0 million (net of any amounts that are covered by insurance policies provided by reputable insurance companies), which judgments are not paid, discharged, waived or stayed for a period of 60 consecutive days after such judgments become final; or

(8) any Subsidiary Guarantee of 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 denies in writing its obligations under this Indenture or its Subsidiary Guarantee (other than by reason of the termination of this Indenture or the release of any such Subsidiary Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture).

(b) However, a Default under Section 6.01(a)(3) will not constitute an Event of Default until (1) the Trustee provides written notice to the Company of the Default or the Holders of 30% in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes provide written notice to the Company of the Default, with a copy to the Trustee, and (2) the Company does not cure such Default within the applicable time specified in Section 6.01(a)(3) after receipt of such notice.

Section 6.02. Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (5) or (6) of Section 6.01(a)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice in writing specifying the Event of Default and that it is a “notice” to the Company, or the Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be due and payable immediately.

(b) In the event of an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a)(4), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than any

97

payment that became due as a result of the acceleration of the Notes) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the holders, if, within 20 days after such Event of Default arose: (x) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged, (y) the requisite holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default, or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

(c) If an Event of Default described in clauses (5) or (6) of Section 6.01(a) occurs and is continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders.

Section 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue, in its own name or as trustee of an express trust, any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.

Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes may, by written notice to the Trustee and on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive, rescind or cancel any declaration of an existing or past Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture if such waiver, rescission or cancellation would not conflict with any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, any Note held by a non-consenting holder (other than such nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due as a result of such acceleration). Upon any such waiver, rescission or cancellation, 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 6.05. Control by Majority. Subject to Section 7.02(7), the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines in good faith is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders) or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification from the Holders satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. The Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee an indemnity or security satisfactory to the

98

Trustee against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

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

(2) Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee, by notice in writing, to pursue the remedy;

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

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

(5) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

Section 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the right of a Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of or interest on its Note on or after the Stated Maturity thereof, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, may not be impaired or affected without the consent of that Holder. For the avoidance of doubt, no amendment to or deletion of any of the covenants described under Article 4 (other than Section 4.01) shall be deemed to impair or affect any rights of holders to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Holder’s Notes.

Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default in payment of principal or interest specified in clause (1) or (2) of Section 6.01(a) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the whole amount of principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate specified in the Notes, and such further amount as is sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the compensation of the Trustee and reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the compensation of the Trustee or for reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or their respective creditors or property, and is entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money, securities or other property payable or deliverable upon conversion or exchange of the Notes or upon any such claims. 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, if the Trustee consents to the making of such payments

99

directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder. Nothing in this Indenture will be deemed to empower the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the 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.

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

First: to the Trustee and the Agents for all amounts due hereunder;

Second: to Holders for amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and interest on the Notes, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest; and

Third: to the Company or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

The Trustee, upon written notice to the Company, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section.

Section 6.11. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted a proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and the proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to the Holder, then, subject to any determination in the proceeding, the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders will be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders will continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 6.12. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit (other than the Trustee) to file an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys fees, against any party litigant (other than the Trustee) in the suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.12 does not apply to a suit by a Holder to enforce payment of principal of or interest on any Note on the respective due dates, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes.

Section 6.13. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy conferred or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders under this Indenture is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and all such rights and remedies are, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, will not prevent the concurrent assertion or exercise of any other right or remedy.

100

Section 6.14. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default will 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.

ARTICLE 7

THE TRUSTEE

Section 7.01. General. (a) The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee are as provided by the Trust Indenture Act and as set forth herein. Whether or not expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee is subject to this Article.

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

(c) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise those rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

(d) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(1) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Section 7.01(b);

(2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgement made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

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

(4) The Trustee will 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, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(5) The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers or for any action it takes or omits to take in accordance with the direction of the Holders in accordance with Section 6.05 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture.

102

examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(8) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act Sections 310(b) and 311. For purposes of Trust Indenture Act Section 311(b)(4) and (6):

Section 7.05. Notice of Default. If any Default occurs and is continuing and is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall deliver to each Holder notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs or within 30 days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the Default, whichever is later. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after each May 15, beginning with May 15, 2024, the Trustee will mail to each Holder, as provided in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c), a brief report dated as of such May 15, if required by Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a), and file such reports with each stock exchange (if any) upon which its Notes are listed and with the SEC as required by Trust Indenture Act Section 313(d).

The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend any such claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to indemnify the Trustee with respect to any settlement made without the consent of the Company, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee will have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay principal of, and interest on particular Notes.

(d) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(5) or Section 6.01(a)(6), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.

(b) If the Trustee has been removed by the Holders, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may appoint a successor Trustee with the consent of the Company. Otherwise, if the Trustee resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company will promptly appoint a successor Trustee. If the successor Trustee does not deliver its written acceptance within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee at the Company’s expense.

Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or national banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or national banking association without any further act will be the successor Trustee with the same effect as if the successor Trustee had been named as the Trustee in this Indenture.

Section 7.10. Eligibility. This Indenture must always have a Trustee that satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a) and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

Section 7.11. Money Held in Trust. The Trustee will not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as it may agree with the Company.

ARTICLE 8

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DISCHARGE

Section 8.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

(a) The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

Section 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (“Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees and this Indenture including that of the Subsidiary Guarantors (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), and to have cured all then-existing Events of Default, except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

106

(a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;

(b) the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;

(c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith; and

(d) this Section 8.02.

If the Company exercises the Legal Defeasance option, the Subsidiary Guarantees in effect at such time shall terminate and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all of its obligations with respect thereto.

Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof. If the Company exercises its Legal Defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

Section 8.03. Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, terminate and be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.14, 4.15 and 4.17 hereof and Section 5.01(a) (other than Section 5.01(a) and the immediately following clauses (1) and (2) of Section 5.01(a) hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (“Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, Sections 6.01(a)(4), 6.01(a)(5), 6.01(a)(6) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries only), 6.01(a)(7) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries only), 6.01(a)(8) and 6.01(a)(9) shall not constitute Events of Default.

107

If the Company exercises the Covenant Defeasance option, the Subsidiary Guarantees in effect at such time will terminate and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all of its obligations with respect thereto.

Section 8.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof to the outstanding Notes:

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the Notes:

No less than 2 Business Days prior to the redemption date the Company shall (i) make a final determination as to the actual Applicable Premium and notify the Trustee in writing of such amount and final redemption price and (ii) shall deposit any additional money in trust on or prior to the redemption date as necessary to pay the Applicable Premium on such redemption date;

(2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that, subject to the customary assumptions and exclusions; (a) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case stating that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the respective outstanding Notes shall not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and shall be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the respective outstanding Notes shall not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and shall be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

108

(4) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any Lien securing such borrowings) or insofar as Events of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds or insolvency events are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit;

(5) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that, assuming, among other things, no intervening bankruptcy of the Company between the date of deposit and the 91^st day following the deposit and assuming that no Holder is an “insider” of the Company under applicable bankruptcy law, after the 91^st day following the deposit, the trust funds shall not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization of similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally;

(6) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and

(7) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions), each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with.

Section 8.05. Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor acting as 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, premium 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 cash or U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1)

109

hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.06. Repayment to the Company.

Subject to applicable unclaimed property law, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

Section 8.07. Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, 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 Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 9

Section 9.03. Revocation and Effect of Consents.

113

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, except as may be provided by the terms of any request for consent, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

Section 9.04. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amendment, supplement or waiver until its Board of Directors approves it. In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.03 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and any Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Opinion of Counsel with respect to conditions precedent or as to whether the supplement is authorized or permitted will be required for the Trustee to execute any amendment or supplement entered into in connection with adding Subsidiary Guarantors.

ARTICLE 10

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

Section 10.01. Subsidiary Guarantee.

(a) Subject to this Article 10, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other Obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; 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, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the

114

same immediately. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b) The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree that their 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 hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

(c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

(d) Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof 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 (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, 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. The Subsidiary Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Subsidiary Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Subsidiary Guarantees.

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

115

(f) In case any provision of any Subsidiary Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

(g) Each payment to be made by a Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of its Subsidiary Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.

Section 10.02. Limitation on Subsidiary Guarantor Liability.

(a) Each Subsidiary Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, 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.

(b) To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders 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 such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including, without limitation, any Guarantees under the Senior Credit Facility) 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 10, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. Any Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment under its Subsidiary Guarantee will be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Subsidiary Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Subsidiary Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

Section 10.03. Execution and Delivery.

To evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor by an Officer of such Subsidiary Guarantor.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof 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 whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Subsidiary Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

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.

116

To the extent required by Section 4.15 hereof, the Company shall cause any newly created or acquired Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.15 hereof and this Article 10, to the extent applicable.

Section 10.04. Subrogation.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders of Notes against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by any Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.01 hereof; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Company under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full.

Section 10.05. 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 10.06. Release of Subsidiary Guarantees.

A Subsidiary Guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and no further action by such Subsidiary Guarantor, the Company or the Trustee is required for the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee, upon:

(A) the occurrence of any sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition (by merger, amalgamation, consolidation or otherwise) of all of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including any sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition after which the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary) or of all or substantially all of the assets and property of such Subsidiary Guarantor, which sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition is made in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture (to the extent such provisions are required to be satisfied as of the date of the transaction);

(B) the release or discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its Guarantee of Indebtedness of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Senior Credit Facility (including by reason of the termination of the Senior Credit Facility), except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such Guarantee (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement is still a release, and that if any such Guarantee is so reinstated, such Subsidiary Guarantee shall also be reinstated to the extent that such Subsidiary Guarantor would then be required to Guarantee the Notes pursuant to this Indenture);

117

(C) the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with Section 4.17; or

(D) the Company exercising its Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance option as described under Article 8 or the Company’s obligations under this Indenture being discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and

(2) such Subsidiary Guarantor delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transaction and/or release have been complied with.

ARTICLE 11

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 11.01. Satisfaction and Discharge.

This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (and any collateral then securing the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantees shall be released) as to all outstanding Notes, when:

(1) either:

(A) all Notes that have been authenticated and delivered, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced pursuant to Section 2.04 or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from trust, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(B) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise, (ii) will become due and payable within one year or (iii) have been called for redemption or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee, as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as shall be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption, provided that the amount of cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, that the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee will be determined using an assumed

118

Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of such deposit. No less than 2 Business Days prior to the redemption date the Company shall (i) make a final determination as to the actual Applicable Premium and notify the Trustee in writing of such amount and final redemption price and (ii) shall deposit any additional money in trust on or prior to the redemption date as necessary to pay the Applicable Premium on such redemption date;

(2) the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums then due and payable under this Indenture; and

(3) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be,

then the Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes on demand of the Company (accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent specified herein relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with) and at the cost and expense of the Company.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01(1)(B), the provisions of Section 11.02 and Section 8.06 shall survive.

Section 11.02. Application of Trust Money.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof 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 (and premium) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and any Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

If a record date is fixed, those Persons that were Holders at such record date and only those Persons will be entitled to act, or to revoke any previous act, whether or not those Persons continue to be Holders after the record date.
