By their acceptance of the Notes, each Holder of Notes hereby authorize and direct the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, as the case may be, to execute and deliver a joinder to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and any other Collateral Documents in which the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, is named as a party, including any Collateral Documents executed on or after the Issue Date. It is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that, in doing so, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent are not responsible for the terms or contents of such agreements, or for the validity or enforceability thereof, or the sufficiency thereof for any purpose. Whether or not so expressly stated therein, in entering into, or taking (or forbearing from) any action under, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or any other Collateral Documents, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent each shall have all of the rights, privileges, benefits, immunities, indemnities and other protections granted to it under the Indenture (in addition to those that may be granted to it under the terms of such other agreement or agreements).

Article 3
REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

Section 3.01 Optional Redemption.

Prior to the applicable Par Call Date with respect to each Series of Notes, the Issuer may redeem the Notes of such Series at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming that such Notes matured on their applicable Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 15 basis points in the case of the 2027 Notes, 20 basis points in the case of the 2029 Notes and 25 basis points in the case of the 2034 Notes, less unpaid interest accrued to the date of redemption (any excess of the amount described in this bullet point over the amount described in Section 3.01(b), the “Applicable Premium”); and

(b) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date, as calculated by the Issuer, which the Trustee shall not be required to review, investigate or verify.

On or after the applicable Par Call Date with respect to each Series of Notes, the Issuer may redeem the Notes of such Series, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

“Par Call Date” means (i) with respect to the 2027 Notes, April 8, 2027 (one month prior to the maturity date of the 2027 Notes), (ii) with respect to the 2029 Notes, April 8, 2029 (one month prior to the maturity date of the 2029 Notes) and (iii) with respect to the 2034 Notes, February 8, 2034 (three months prior to the maturity date of the 2034 Notes).

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Issuer in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Issuer after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuer shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date, on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Issuer shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date, but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date, and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Issuer shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date, or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

Section 3.02 Mandatory Redemption.

The Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

Section 3.03 Optional Redemption for Changes in Taxes.

The Issuer may redeem the Notes of any Series, in whole but not in part, at its discretion at any time upon giving not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Holders thereof (which notice shall be irrevocable and given in accordance with the procedures described in Sections 3.02 and 3.03 of the Base Indenture), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of redemption (a “Tax Redemption Date”) and all Additional Amounts (if any) then due and that may become due on the Tax Redemption Date as a result of the redemption or otherwise (subject to the right of Holders of such Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date and Additional Amounts (if any) in respect thereof if such Notes have not been redeemed or repurchased prior to such date), if, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws, regulations, rulings or treaties of any relevant Tax Jurisdiction affecting taxation, or any change in, or amendment to, the official position regarding the application, administration or interpretation of such laws, regulations, rulings or treaties (including by virtue of a holding, judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction or a change in official administrative practice), which change or amendment has not been publicly announced before, and which becomes effective after, the Issue Date (or, if the relevant Tax Jurisdiction became a Tax Jurisdiction on a date after the Issue Date, such later date):

(a) on the next date on which any amount would be payable in respect of such Notes, the Issuer or any Guarantor is or would be required to pay Additional Amounts, and the Issuer or such Guarantor (but, in the case of a Guarantor, only if the payment giving rise to such requirement cannot be made by the Issuer or another Guarantor without the obligation to pay Additional Amounts) cannot avoid any such payment obligation by taking reasonable measures available to them (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of a new Paying Agent); or

(b) the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries would have to deduct or withhold any Tax on any payment to the Issuer to enable the Issuer to make any payment of principal, interest or other amounts on any such Notes and such withholding tax obligation cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to the Parent or its Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of a new Paying Agent or, if reasonable, the making of any such intercompany payment via a loan or other available means).

The Issuer will not give any such notice of redemption earlier than 60 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer or the applicable Guarantor would be obligated to make such payment, deduction or withholding if a payment in respect of the Notes were then due and at the time such notice is given, the obligation to pay Additional Amounts or to make a withholding or deduction, as applicable must remain in effect. Prior to the publication or, where relevant, mailing of any notice of redemption of the Notes of any Series pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an opinion of independent tax counsel of recognized standing (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee) attesting to the effect that the conditions for redemption specified above have been satisfied (which opinion, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be required to include an opinion as to whether “reasonable efforts” could be undertaken to avoid the otherwise applicable obligations). In addition, before the Issuer publishes or mails notice of redemption of the Notes pursuant to the forgoing, it will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that it cannot avoid the obligation to pay Additional Amounts or to deduct or withhold, as applicable, by taking reasonable measures available to it.

The Trustee will accept and shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Officer’s Certificate and opinion of counsel as sufficient evidence of the existence and satisfaction of the conditions as described above, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on all of the holders.

Section 3.04 Optional Redemption Procedures.

The provisions of Article 3 of the Base Indenture shall apply in the case of a redemption pursuant to Article 3 of this First Supplemental Indenture solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes; provided that this Section 3.04 shall not become part of the terms of any other Series of Securities:

(a) The following language shall be added after the end of the final paragraph of Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture:

“Notice of any redemption of the Notes of a Series in connection with a corporate transaction may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be given prior to the completion thereof and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the related transaction. If such redemption or purchase is so subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption or offer to purchase was sent) as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion), or such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion) by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed. In addition, the Issuer may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.”

Section 3.05 Offer to Purchase.

In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, the Issuer is required to commence an Offer to Purchase, it will follow the procedures specified below.

In connection with any Offer to Purchase, the Issuer will mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that give rise to such Offer to Purchase and offering to repurchase Notes on the date specified in the notice (the “Purchase Date”), which date will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed. The purchase price for the Offer to Purchase shall be as set forth in Section 4.02; provided that if the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date.

The notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Offer to Purchase. The notice, which will govern the terms of the Offer to Purchase, will state:

(a) that the Offer to Purchase is being made pursuant to this Section 3.05 and Section 4.02 hereof and the length of time the Offer to Purchase will remain open;

(b) the purchase price and the Purchase Date;

(d) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer to Purchase will cease to accrete or accrue interest after the Purchase Date;

(e) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Offer to Purchase may elect to have Notes purchased in denominations of $200,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof;

(f) that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to any Offer to Purchase will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Issuer, a Depositary, if appointed by the Issuer, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date;

(g) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).

On the applicable Purchase Date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful:

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

(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the purchase price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 3.05 and a written order to cancel those Notes (in accordance with the Trustee’s procedures).

The Issuer, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the purchase price for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any. The Issuer will publicly announce the results of the Offer to Purchase on or as soon as practicable after the Purchase Date.

The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Offer to Purchase. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the Indenture governing such Offer to Purchase, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under such provisions of the Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

The provisions under this First Supplemental Indenture relative to the Issuer’s obligation to make any Offer to Purchase may be waived or modified with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes.

Article 4
CERTAIN COVENANTS

Unless otherwise noted, the following covenants will apply to the Notes in addition to the covenants in Article 4 of the Base Indenture:

Section 4.01 Liens.

(a) The Parent will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien on any of its assets (including Equity Interests of a Subsidiary), whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, securing Indebtedness For Borrowed Money, other than Permitted Liens, without effectively providing that the Notes shall be secured, equally and ratably, on such assets of the Parent or such Subsidiary with (or senior or prior to) the Indebtedness For Borrowed Money so secured for so long as such Indebtedness For Borrowed Money is so secured.

(b) Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to clause (a) immediately above shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Lien that gave rise to such ▇▇▇▇ created for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

(c) Additionally, prior to a Collateral Release Event, the Parent will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, incur any Lien on any of its assets (including Equity Interests of a Subsidiary), whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, to secure Equally and Ratably Secured Indebtedness without effectively providing that the Notes shall be secured equally and ratably on the assets of the Parent or such Subsidiary with (or senior or prior to) the Equally and Ratably Secured Indebtedness so secured for so long as such indebtedness is so secured.

(d) Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to clause (c) immediately above will provide by its terms that such Lien will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Lien that gave rise to such ▇▇▇▇ created for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

(e) This Section 4.01 requires only equal and ratable treatment in the application of proceeds of Collateral and does not require that the trustee have any ability to control the Collateral or the enforcement of remedies.

(f) The reference to assets in clauses (a) and (c) above means the assets of the Parent or any Subsidiary at the time of creation, incurrence or assumption of the Lien.

(g) The foregoing restrictions do not apply to extensions, renewals or replacements of any Indebtedness For Borrowed Money (and any successive extensions, renewals or replacements of such Indebtedness For Borrowed Money) secured by the foregoing types of Liens, so long as the principal amount of Indebtedness For Borrowed Money secured thereby shall not exceed the amount of such Indebtedness For Borrowed Money secured by the foregoing Liens existing at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement (plus an amount equal to any premiums, accrued interest, fees, expenses or other costs payable in connection therewith).

(h) Further, an increase in the amount of Indebtedness For Borrowed Money in connection with any accrual of interest, accretion of accreted value, amortization of original issue discount, payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness For Borrowed Money with the same terms, and accretion of original issue discount and increases in the amount of Indebtedness For Borrowed Money outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness For Borrowed Money, shall not constitute an incurrence or assumption for the purposes of this covenant, so long as the original Liens securing such Indebtedness For Borrowed Money were permitted under the indenture.

Section 4.02 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Triggering Event.

(a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Issuer has previously or concurrently delivered a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes pursuant to Section 3.01, within 30 days following such Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will make an Offer to Purchase all of the Notes (a “Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth in the Indenture and in compliance with Section 3.05. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will offer to purchase all of the Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”) (subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date if the Notes have not been redeemed or repurchased prior to such date).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.02, the Issuer will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (1) 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 the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, (2) in connection with or in contemplation of any Change of Control, the Issuer (or any Affiliate of the Issuer) has made an offer to purchase (an “Alternate Offer”) any and all Notes validly tendered at a cash price equal to or higher than the Change of Control Payment and has purchased all Notes properly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Alternate Offer or (3) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.07 under the Indenture, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, which may be conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control Triggering Event at the time the Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer is made.

A Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer may be made at the same time as consents are solicited with respect to an amendment, supplement or waiver of the Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees and/or the Collateral Documents (but the Change of Control Offer may not condition tenders on the delivery of such consents).

Section 4.03 Additional Note Guarantees.

Until the occurrence of a Collateral Release Event, if any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Parent that is not a Guarantor (other than an Excluded Subsidiary or the Issuer) becomes a guarantor or obligor in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, within 60 days of such event the Parent will, subject to applicable law and the Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles, cause such Subsidiary to enter into (i) a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall agree to Guarantee the Issuer’s Obligations under the Notes, fully and unconditionally and on a senior secured basis and (ii) supplements or joinders to the Collateral Documents or new Collateral Documents together with any other filings, actions and agreements required by the Collateral Documents to create or perfect the security interests for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes in the Collateral of such Subsidiary subject to the Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles. The Parent also may, at any time, cause a Subsidiary to become a Guarantor by executing and delivering a supplemental indenture providing for the Guarantee of payment of the Notes by such Subsidiary on the basis provided in the Indenture. Any such supplemental indenture may be in the form of such supplemental indenture attached as Exhibit D hereto or such other form as agreed between the Issuer, the applicable Guarantor and the Trustee.

If any Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, the Parent shall have the right, by execution and delivery of a supplemental indenture to the Trustee, to cause such Excluded Subsidiary to cease to be a Guarantor, subject to the requirement described in the first paragraph above that such Subsidiary shall be required to become a Guarantor if it ceases to be an Excluded Subsidiary; provided, further, that such Excluded Subsidiary that ceased to be a Guarantor pursuant to the foregoing shall not be permitted to Guarantee the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, unless it again becomes a Guarantor.

Section 4.04 Additional Amounts.

For purposes of this First Supplemental Indenture, Sections 4.06(i) and (j) of the Base Indenture shall be amended and restated as follows, with other information in the Base Indenture deemed to have changed to the extent affected thereby; provided that this Section 4.04 shall not become part of the terms of any other Series of Securities:

“(i) any (i) Luxembourg withholding tax due under the so-called Luxembourg Relibi Law dated 23 December 2005 by the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg or (ii) Luxembourg registration duties (droits d’enregistrement) payable due to a registration, submission or filing by any holder or beneficial owner of any Note or Note Guarantee thereof, except if such registration, submission or filing is required to maintain, establish, enforce or preserve the rights of such holder or beneficial owner under such Note or Note Guarantee thereof; or

(j) any combination of the foregoing clauses (a) through (i) above.”

Section 4.05 After-Acquired Property.

(a) Subject to the foregoing, prior to a Collateral Release Event, if property that is intended to be Collateral (other than Excluded Assets) is acquired by the Issuer or a Guarantor (including property of a Person that becomes a new Guarantor) after the Issue Date and is not automatically subject to a perfected security interest under the Collateral Documents, then the Issuer or such Guarantor will provide a lien over such property consistent with the Liens granted over similar property in the applicable jurisdiction (or in the case of any jurisdiction where no liens were previously granted, to the extent in a Covered Jurisdiction and consistent with the Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles) (or, in the case of a new Guarantor, such of its property consistent with the Liens granted over similar property in the applicable jurisdiction (or in the case of any jurisdiction where no liens were previously granted, to the extent in a Covered Jurisdiction and consistent with the Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles)) in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent and deliver certain agreements, documents, security instruments and certificates in respect thereof, all as and to the extent required by the Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Collateral Documents; provided that no Opinions of Counsel will be required to be provided; provided further that, while any obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are outstanding, this paragraph shall only apply to Collateral that is also pledged to secure the obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (including property of a Person that becomes a new Guarantor) after the Issue Date.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in the Indenture or the Collateral Documents to the contrary, in addition to the other exceptions and limitations described in the Collateral Documents, and notwithstanding any action that is taken in favor of the lenders under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, none of the Issuer or any Guarantor shall have any obligation to (A) enter into control agreements with respect to any security interest or lien in any Deposit Account or Securities Account (in each case, as defined in the UCC) included in the Collateral or provide fixed security over bank accounts, (B) perfect any security interest or lien in any intellectual property included in the Collateral in any jurisdiction other than in the United States, and solely with respect to Material Intellectual Property, Ireland or Luxembourg, (C) to obtain any landlord waivers, estoppels or collateral access letters, (D) perfect a security interest in any letter of credit rights, other than the filing of a UCC financing statement, (E) pledge Equity Interests of any partnership, joint venture or non-wholly-owned Subsidiary which are not permitted to be pledged pursuant to the terms of such partnership’s, joint venture’s or non-wholly-owned Subsidiary’s organizational, joint venture or equivalent documents (after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the UCC or other applicable law) or (F) enter into any Collateral Documents or take any perfection steps outside of the jurisdiction of organization of such Issuer or Guarantor (other than the recordation of patent, trademark and copyright security agreements in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office).

Section 4.06 No Impairment of the Security Interests.

Except as otherwise permitted under this First Supplemental Indenture (including, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to a transaction otherwise permitted by this First Supplemental Indenture), the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents, none of the Issuer nor any of the Guarantors shall be permitted to take any action, or knowingly omit to take any action, which action or omission would have the result of materially impairing the security interest with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent and the Holders of the Notes.

Article 5
NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 5.01 Guarantees.

Article 10 of the Base Indenture shall apply to the Notes for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes. The Notes of each Series issued pursuant to this First Supplemental Indenture shall have the benefit of Guarantees by the Subsidiary Guarantors party to this First Supplemental Indenture, including any Subsidiary that becomes a Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.03 hereof; provided that this Section 5.01 shall not become part of the terms of any other Series of Securities.

Section 5.02 Release of Guarantees.

The Note Guarantee of the Parent shall be released in accordance with Section 10.04 of the Base Indenture. Any Subsidiary Guarantor of each Series of Notes under this First Supplemental Indenture will be automatically and unconditionally released from all obligations under its Note Guarantee for such Series, and such Note Guarantee shall thereupon terminate and be discharged and of no further force and effect:

(a) concurrently with any sale, exchange, disposition or transfer (by merger or otherwise) of any Capital Stock, or all or substantially all assets, of such Guarantor in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture following which such Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary of the Parent or ceases to be organized in a Covered Jurisdiction;

(b) as to all Guarantors (other than the Parent), at the time of any Collateral Release Event;

(c) upon Legal Defeasance, Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of this First Supplemental Indenture as to such Series of Notes as provided in Articles 8 and 11 of the Base Indenture; or

(d) upon the merger, amalgamation or consolidation of any Subsidiary Guarantor with an into the Parent, the Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor or upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of such Subsidiary Guarantor;

(e) upon the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its guarantee under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (except in the case of a release from the repayment in full of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities); or

(f) upon such Subsidiary Guarantor becoming an Excluded Subsidiary.

Upon any occurrence giving rise to a release of a Note Guarantee, as specified in this Section 5.02, the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate from the Issuer in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.02 hereof, which the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on absolutely and without further inquiry, will take all necessary actions at the reasonable request and cost of the Issuer, to effectuate any release of a Note Guarantee in accordance with these provisions, subject to customary protections and indemnifications. Each of the releases set forth above shall be effected by the Trustee without the consent of the Holders and will not require any other action or consent on the part of the Trustee. None of the Issuer, the Trustee or any Guarantor will be required to make a notation on the Notes to reflect any such release, termination or discharge. The Issuer may in its sole discretion, and without prejudice to any future election in relation thereto, elect to have any Note Guarantee remain in place as opposed to being released.

Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 5.02 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on, the Notes for such Series and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in Article 10 of the Base Indenture.

Section 5.03 Luxembourg Guarantee Limitation Language.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this First Supplemental Indenture, the aggregate obligations and exposure of a Luxembourg Guarantor in respect of the Note Guarantees for the obligations of the Issuer shall be limited at any time to an aggregate amount not exceeding 95% of the greater of:

(1) An amount equal to the sum of the Luxembourg Guarantor’s net assets (capitaux propres) (as referred to in Annex I to the Grand-Ducal regulation dated 18 December 2015 setting out the form and content of the presentation of the balance sheet and profit and loss account, enforcing the Luxembourg act of 19 December 2002 on the trade and companies register and the accounting and annual accounts of undertakings, as amended) (the “Own Funds”), as amended and its subordinated debt (dettes subordonnées), as reflected in the financial information of the Luxembourg Guarantor publicly available at the date of this First Supplemental Indenture (or its accession as a Luxembourg Guarantor, as the case may be), including, without limitation, its most recently and duly approved financial statements (comptes annuels) and any (unaudited) interim financial statements signed by its board of managers (gérants) or directors (administrateurs) (as the case may be); and

(2) an amount equal to the sum of the Luxembourg Guarantor’s Own Funds and its subordinated debt (dettes subordonnées), as reflected in the financial information of the Luxembourg Guarantor available as at the date the guarantee is called, including, without limitation, its most recently and duly approved financial statements (comptes annuels) and any (unaudited) interim financial statements signed by its board of managers (gérants) or directors (administrateurs) (as the case may be).

(b) The limitation set forth at paragraph (a) above shall not apply to any amounts received under the Notes and made available, in any form whatsoever, to such Luxembourg Guarantor or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries.

Article 6

(5) any Note Guarantee by the Parent or a Significant Subsidiary shall for any reason cease to be, or shall for any reason be held in any judicial proceeding not to be, or asserted in writing by the Parent or such Significant Subsidiary not to be, in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent contemplated by the Indenture and any such Note Guarantee, and any such default continues for 10 days;

(6) the Parent, the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary:

(A) commences a voluntary insolvency proceeding,

provided, however, that the liquidation of any Restricted Subsidiary into another Restricted Subsidiary, other than as part of a credit reorganization, shall not constitute an Event of Default under this Section 6.01(6);

Section 6.02 Waiver of Past Defaults. Section 6.04 of the Base Indenture shall be amended by adding the following paragraph at the end thereof, with respect to, and solely for the benefit of the Holders of, the Notes; provided that this Section 6.02 shall not become part of the terms of any other Series of Securities:

Article 7
COLLATERAL

Section 7.01 Collateral Documents

(a) Prior to a Collateral Release Event, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium and interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) on the Notes of each Series when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an interest payment date, at maturity, by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium and interest on the Notes of such Series and performance of all other Obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors to the Holders or the Trustee under the Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees and the Collateral Documents, according to the terms hereunder or thereunder, shall be secured as provided in the Collateral Documents, which define the terms of the Liens that secure the Obligations, subject to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. The Trustee and the Issuer hereby acknowledge and agree that the Notes Collateral Agent hold the Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Holders and the Trustee and pursuant to the terms of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Each Holder, by accepting a Note of such Series, and each beneficial owner of an interest in a Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Collateral Documents (including the provisions providing for the possession, use, release and foreclosure of Collateral) and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and this First Supplemental Indenture and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, and authorizes and directs the Notes Collateral Agent to enter into the Collateral Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith. Subject to the Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles, the Issuer shall deliver to the Notes Collateral Agent copies of all documents required to be filed pursuant to the Collateral Documents to which the Notes Collateral Agent is a party, and will do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be reasonably required by the next sentence of this Section 7.01, to provide to the Notes Collateral Agent the security interest in the Collateral contemplated hereby and/or by the Collateral Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this First Supplemental Indenture and of the Notes of each Series secured hereby, according to the intent and purposes herein expressed. Subject to the Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall take any and all actions and make all filings (including the filing of UCC financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto (or analogous procedures under the applicable laws in the relevant Covered Jurisdiction)) required to cause the Collateral Documents to create and maintain, as security for the First Priority Notes Obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors to the First Lien Notes Secured Parties, a valid and enforceable perfected Lien and security interest in and on all of the Collateral (subject to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents), in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Notes Secured Parties subject to no Liens other than Permitted Liens.

(b) To the extent any assets owned by the Issuer or any Guarantor on the Issue Date (other than Excluded Assets) may not subject to a valid Lien in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent on or prior to the Issue Date or subject to a Lien in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent that is not granted or perfected on or prior to the Issue Date, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to enter into Collateral Documents to create such Liens (including all Collateral Documents governed by the laws of each Covered Jurisdiction, except where pursuant to laws governing such assets or local practice applicable to such assets, such assets that were pledged to the Credit Agreement Administrative Agent are not capable of being pledged to the Notes Collateral Agent at the same time) and have all such Liens and any Liens created but not perfected (including by appropriate filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and United States Copyright Office) on or prior to the Issue Date perfected, subject to any limitations set forth in this First Supplemental Indenture and the Collateral Documents, including the Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles, within 120 days (subject to extension to be reasonably agreed upon by the Notes Collateral Agent), after the Issue Date.

Section 7.02 Release of Collateral

(a) The Liens securing the Notes of each Series, as applicable, will be automatically released, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, at any time and from time to time as provided by this Section 7.02. Upon such release, subject to the terms of the Collateral Documents, all rights in the released Collateral securing First Priority Notes Obligations shall revert to the Issuer and the Guarantors, as applicable. The Collateral securing the Notes of any Series shall be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Collateral Documents and the Notes Collateral Agent (subject to its receipt of an Officer’s Certificate as provided below) shall execute documents evidencing such release, and the Trustee shall instruct the Notes Collateral Agent in writing to execute, as applicable, the same at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense, under one or more of the following circumstances:

(i) in whole upon:

(A) payment in full of the principal of, together with accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) in respect of the Notes of such Series and all other Obligations under the Indenture, the Note Guarantees and the Collateral Documents (for the avoidance of doubt, other than contingent Obligations in respect of which no claims have been made) that are due and payable at or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, are paid with respect to such Series of Notes;

(B) satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture with respect to such Series of Notes as set forth under Section 11.01 of the Base Indenture;

(C) a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of the Indenture with respect to such Series of Notes as set forth under Sections 8.02 or 8.03 of the Base Indenture, as applicable; or

(D) upon a Collateral Release Event;

(ii) in whole or in part, with the consent of Holders of the Notes of such Series in accordance with Article 9 of the Base Indenture including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, such Notes;

(iii) in part, as to any asset:

(A) (I) constituting Collateral that is sold or otherwise disposed of by the Issuer or any of the Guarantors to any Person that is not the Issuer or a Guarantor (or to a Person that is an Issuer or a Guarantor, in any jurisdiction outside of the United States, where, in order to effect a Disposition of such Collateral, the Lien on such assets is required to be released (provided that in the case of such Disposition to a Person that is the Issuer or a Guarantor outside of the United States, such other Person shall concurrently (or on such later date after the use of commercially reasonable efforts) grant a security interest on the released Collateral)), or

(II) constituting Shared Collateral, in accordance with the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement,

(B) that is held by a Guarantor that ceases to be a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this First Supplemental Indenture,

(C) that becomes Excluded Assets, including any asset that is not pledged to secure obligations arising in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (whether pursuant to the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (and any related documents) or as a result of any determination made thereunder, or by amendment, waiver or otherwise (other than releases in connection with the payment in full thereof),

(D) that is otherwise released in accordance with, and as expressly provided for by the terms of, this First Supplemental Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents,

(E) in accordance with Section 4.01(b) and (d), or

(F) of the Issuer or a Guarantor that is a Securitization Asset subject to a Qualified Securitization Financing or a Qualified Receivables Factoring.

provided that, in the case of clause (iii)(A)(II), the proceeds of such Shared Collateral shall be applied in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

(a) With respect to any release of Collateral or release of the Series of the Notes from the Liens securing such Notes, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent under this First Supplemental Indenture and the Collateral Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, to such release have been met and that it is permitted for the Trustee and/or the Notes Collateral Agent to execute and deliver the documents requested by the Issuer in connection with such release, and any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction, discharge or release prepared by the Issuer, the Trustee shall, or shall cause the Notes Collateral Agent to, execute, deliver or acknowledge (at the Issuer’s expense) such instruments or releases (whether electronically or in writing) to evidence, and shall do or cause to be done all other acts reasonably necessary to effect, in each case as soon as reasonably practicable, the release and discharge of any Collateral or any Notes of such Series permitted to be released pursuant to this First Supplemental Indenture or the Collateral Documents or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent shall be liable for any such release undertaken in reliance upon any such Officer’s Certificate, and notwithstanding any term hereof or in any Collateral Document or in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement to the contrary, but without limiting any automatic release provided hereunder or under any Collateral Document, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to release any such Lien and security interest, or execute and deliver any such instrument of release, satisfaction, discharge or termination, unless and until it receives such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel.

Any certificate or opinion required by Trust Indenture Act § 314(d) in connection with obtaining the release of Collateral may be made by an Officer of the Parent, except in cases where Trust Indenture Act § 314(d) requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent engineer, appraiser or other expert.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.02, the Parent and its Subsidiaries will not be required to comply with all or any portion of Trust Indenture Act § 314(d) if they determine in good faith, based on the advice of counsel, that under the terms of that section and/or any interpretation or guidance as to the meaning thereof of the SEC and its staff, including “no action” letters or exemptive orders, all or the relevant portion of Trust Indenture Act § 314(d) is inapplicable to the released Collateral.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, certain “no action” letters issued by the SEC have permitted the release of Liens on collateral securing indebtedness issued under an indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act without requiring the issuer to provide certificates and other documents under Trust Indenture Act § 314(d) where such release occurs as a result of the release of such collateral from Liens securing a credit facility or other indebtedness. In addition, certain “no action” letters issued by the SEC have permitted the release of collateral from Liens securing indebtedness issued under an indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act resulting from transactions in the ordinary course of the Issuer’s business without requiring the issuer to provide such certificates and other documents.

Section 7.03 Suits to Protect the Collateral

Subject to the provisions of Article 7 of the Base Indenture and the Collateral Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee, without the consent of the Holders of such Series, on behalf of the Holders, following the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing, may or may instruct the Notes Collateral Agent in writing to take all actions it reasonably determines are necessary in order to:

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

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

Subject to the provisions of the Collateral Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall have power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of any of the Collateral Documents or this First Supplemental Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may determine to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral. Nothing in this Section 7.03 shall be considered to impose any such duty or obligation to act on the part of the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent.

Section 7.04 Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Trustee Under the Collateral Documents

Subject to the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders of any Series of Notes distributed under the Collateral Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders of such Series of Notes according to the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture.

Section 7.05 Purchaser Protected

In no event shall any purchaser or other transferee in good faith of any property or asset purported to be released hereunder be bound to ascertain the authority of the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee to execute the release or to inquire as to the satisfaction of any conditions required by the provisions hereof for the exercise of such authority or to see to the application of any consideration given by such purchaser or other transferee; nor shall any purchaser or other transferee of any property, asset or rights permitted by this Article 7 to be sold be under any obligation to ascertain or inquire into the authority of the Issuer or the applicable Guarantor to make any such sale or other transfer.

Section 7.06 Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Trustee

In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article 7 upon the Issuer or a Guarantor with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property or asset may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Issuer or a Guarantor or of any Officer or Officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article 7; and if the Trustee shall be in the possession of the Collateral under any provision of this First Supplemental Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Trustee.

Section 7.07 Release Upon Termination of the Issuer’s Obligations.

In the event that the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying that (i) payment in full of the principal of, together with accrued and unpaid interest on, any Series of the Notes and all other First Priority Notes Obligations that are due and payable at or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, are paid or (ii) the Issuer shall have exercised its Legal Defeasance option or their Covenant Defeasance option, in each case in compliance with the provisions of Section 8.02 or 8.03 of the Base Indenture, as applicable, and an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of such notice by the Trustee have been satisfied, the Trustee shall deliver to the Issuer and the Notes Collateral Agent a notice, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent, stating that the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders of such Series of Notes, disclaims and gives up any and all rights it has in or to the Collateral solely on behalf of the Holders of such Series the Notes without representation, warranty or recourse (other than with respect to funds held by the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 of the Base Indenture, as applicable), and any rights it has under the Collateral Documents solely on behalf of the Holders of the Notes and upon receipt by the Notes Collateral Agent of such notice, the Notes Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to hold a Lien in the Collateral on behalf of the Trustee and shall execute and deliver all documents and do or cause to be done (at the expense of the Issuer) all acts reasonably requested by the Issuer to release and discharge such Lien as soon as is reasonably practicable.

Section 7.08 Notes Collateral Agent.

(a) The Issuer and each of the Holders of each Series of Notes by acceptance of the Notes of such Series, and each beneficial owner of an interest in a Note, hereby designates and appoints the Notes Collateral Agent as its agent under this First Supplemental Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Issuer directs and authorizes and each of the Holders of each Series of Notes by acceptance of the Notes of such Series hereby irrevocably authorizes the Notes Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Notes Collateral Agent by the terms of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, and consents and agrees to the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and each Collateral Document, as the same may be in effect or may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their respective terms or the terms of the Base Indenture. The Notes Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 7.08. The provisions of this Section 7.08 are solely for the benefit of the Notes Collateral Agent and none of the Trustee, any of the Holders of such Series of Notes nor any of the Guarantors shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Notes Collateral Agent in accordance with the provision of this First Supplemental Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and/or the applicable Collateral Documents, and the exercise by the Notes Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be authorized and binding upon all Holders of such Series of Notes. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this First Supplemental Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the duties of the Notes Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Notes Documents to which the Notes Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Notes Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder or any Guarantor of such Series of Notes, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this First Supplemental Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or otherwise exist against the Notes Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this First Supplemental Indenture with reference to the Notes Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

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

(c) Neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor any of its Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this First Supplemental Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or under or in connection with any Collateral Document or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Trustee or any Holder for any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Issuer or any other Guarantor or Affiliate of any Guarantor, or any Officer or Related Person thereof, contained in this First Supplemental Indenture, or any other Notes Documents, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, or for any failure of any Guarantor or any other party to this First Supplemental Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor any of its Related Persons shall be under any obligation to the Trustee or any Holder to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this First Supplemental Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or to inspect the properties, books, or records of any Guarantor or any Guarantor’s Affiliates.

(d) The Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled (in the absence of bad faith) to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, certification, telephone message, statement, or other communication, document or conversation (including those by telephone or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Issuer or any other Guarantor), independent accountants and/or other experts and advisors selected by the Notes Collateral Agent. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document. Unless otherwise expressly required hereunder or pursuant to any Collateral Document, the Notes Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this First Supplemental Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement unless it shall first receive such written advice or concurrence of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Series of Notes of the Notes of such Series as it determines and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified and/or secured to its satisfaction by the Holders of such Series of Notes against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Notes Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected from claims by any Holders of such Series of Notes in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this First Supplemental Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with a request, direction, instruction or consent of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such Series and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders of such Series of Notes. The Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to seek directions, instructions and clarifications from any instructing party and is entitled to refrain from acting in the absence of such instructions and/or clarifications. The Notes Collateral Agent will not incur any liability for any action it takes or refrains from taking on such instructions of an instructing party; provided that the Notes Collateral Agent may not be relieved from liabilities for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct.

(e) The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Notes Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee or the Issuer referring to this First Supplemental Indenture, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Notes Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee in accordance with Article 6 of the Base Indenture or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such Series (subject to this Section 7.08).

(f) The Notes Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notice to the Trustee and the Issuer, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Notes Collateral Agent. If the Notes Collateral Agent resigns under this First Supplemental Indenture, the Issuer shall appoint a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the intended effective date of the resignation of the Notes Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Notes Collateral Agent may appoint, subject to the consent of the Issuer (which shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required during a continuing Event of Default), a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed and consented to by the Issuer pursuant to the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the notice of resignation) the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Notes Collateral Agent, and the term “Notes Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring Notes Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as a Notes Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Notes Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 7.08 (and Section 7.08 of the Base Indenture) shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring Notes Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was a Notes Collateral Agent under this First Supplemental Indenture.

(g) The Issuer and each of the Holders of each Series of Note by its acceptance of the Notes of such Series, and each beneficial owner of an interest in a Note of such Series, hereby authorizes the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, respectively, to appoint sub-agents (and, in each case, appointment of such person shall be reflected in documentation, which the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent are hereby authorized to enter into). Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein or in the Collateral Documents or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, no Notes Collateral Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents or other Related Persons shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The Notes Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

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

(i) [Reserved].

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

(k) The Notes Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders of any Series of Notes to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Guarantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Notes Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all or the Guarantor’s property constituting collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Collateral Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to this First Supplemental Indenture, any Collateral Document or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement other than pursuant to the instructions of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such Series or as otherwise provided in the Collateral Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, the Notes Collateral Agent shall not have any other duty or liability whatsoever to the Trustee or any Holder of such Series of Notes or any other Notes Collateral Agent as to any of the foregoing.

(l) If the Issuer or any Guarantor (i) incurs any obligations in respect of First Priority Obligations at any time when no First Lien Intercreditor Agreement is in effect or at any time when Indebtedness constituting First Priority Obligations entitled to the benefit of an existing First Lien Intercreditor Agreement is concurrently retired, or incurs any other obligations permitted hereunder and required to be subject to an intercreditor agreement, and (ii) delivers to the Notes Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate so stating and requesting the Notes Collateral Agent to enter into an intercreditor agreement (on substantially the same terms as the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) in favor of a designated agent or representative for the holders of the First Priority Obligations so incurred, or on reasonable and customary terms with respect to any other such intercreditor agreement, the Notes Collateral Agent and the Trustee (as applicable) shall (and are hereby authorized and directed to) enter into such intercreditor agreement (at the sole expense and cost of the Issuer, including legal fees and expenses of the Notes Collateral Agent), bind the Holders of such Series of Notes on the terms set forth therein and perform and observe its obligations thereunder.

(m) If the Issuer or any Guarantor (i) incurs any obligations in respect of Indebtedness on which a junior lien on the Collateral is to be granted, and (ii) delivers to the Notes Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate so stating and requesting the Notes Collateral Agent to enter into an intercreditor agreement (including any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement) with a designated agent or representative for the holders of such Indebtedness or other obligations so incurred, and stating that such intercreditor agreement is on customary terms (as determined by the Issuer), the Notes Collateral Agent and the Trustee (as applicable) shall (and are hereby authorized and directed to) enter into such intercreditor agreement (including any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement) (at the sole expense and cost of the Issuer, including legal fees and expenses of the Notes Collateral Agent), bind the Holders of such Series of Notes on the terms set forth therein and perform and observe its obligations thereunder.

(n) No provision of this First Supplemental Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any Collateral Document shall require the Notes Collateral Agent (or the Trustee) to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Holders of such Series of Notes (or the Trustee in the case of the Notes Collateral Agent) unless it shall have first received indemnity and/or security satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Notes Collateral Agent relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this First Supplemental Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Collateral Documents, in the event the Notes Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under the mortgages or take any such other action if the Notes Collateral Agent has determined that the Notes Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances unless the Notes Collateral Agent has received security and/or indemnity from the Holders of such Series of Notes in an amount and in a form all satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, protecting the Notes Collateral Agent from all such liability. The Notes Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this paragraph (n) if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Issuer or the Holders of such Series of Notes to be sufficient. For the avoidance of doubt, in commencing any such proceeding or taking any other action, the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be responsible or liable (i) for the payment of any taxes or stamp duty as a result of holding and/or enforcing against the Collateral, (ii) for deducting or withholding taxes in respect of any amounts paid from enforcement proceeds and (iii) for paying premiums in respect of any insurance policies.

(o) The Notes Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with this First Supplemental Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents or instrument referred to herein or therein, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Notes Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Issuer (and money held in trust by the Notes Collateral Agent need (a) shall be held uninvested without liability for interest, unless otherwise agreed in writing, (b) shall be held in a non-interest bearing trust account and (c) not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law) and (iii) may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act. For the avoidance of doubt, in commencing any such proceeding or taking any other action, the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be responsible or liable (i) for the payment of any taxes or stamp duty as a result of holding and/or enforcing against the Collateral, (ii) for deducting or withholding taxes in respect of any amounts paid from enforcement proceeds and (iii) for paying premiums in respect of any insurance policies.

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

(q) The Notes Collateral Agent shall not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Issuer or any other Guarantor under this First Supplemental Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to the Holders of such Series of Notes or any other Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any Notes Documents or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Notes Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this First Supplemental Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any Collateral Document; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any Collateral Documents of any other party thereto; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Obligations; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its Obligations under this First Supplemental Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation to any Holder of such Series of Notes or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any obligor of any terms of this First Supplemental Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Credit Agreement or the Collateral Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in this First Supplemental Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any Collateral Documents. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this First Supplemental Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents unless expressly set forth hereunder or thereunder. Without limiting its obligations as expressly set forth herein, the Notes Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from the Holders of such Series of Notes with respect to the administration of the Notes Documents.

(r) The parties hereto and the Holders of each Series of Notes hereby agree and acknowledge that the Notes Collateral Agent shall not assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of this First Supplemental Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto and the Holders of such Series of Notes hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under this First Supplemental Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents, the Notes Collateral Agent may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Notes Collateral Agent in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral. However, if the Notes Collateral Agent is required to acquire title to an asset pursuant to this First Supplemental Indenture which in the Notes Collateral Agent’s reasonable discretion may cause the Notes Collateral Agent to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. §9601, et seq., or otherwise cause the Notes Collateral Agent to incur liability under CERCLA or any equivalent federal, state or local law, the Notes Collateral Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as the Notes Collateral Agent or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver.

(s) Upon the receipt by the Notes Collateral Agent of an Officer’s Certificate, the Notes Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and enter into, and shall execute and enter into, without the further consent of any Holder of such Series of Notes or the Trustee, any Collateral Document to be executed after the Issue Date. Such Officer’s Certificate shall (i) state that it is being delivered to the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 7.08(s), and (ii) instruct the Notes Collateral Agent to execute and enter into such Collateral Document. Any such execution of a Collateral Document shall be at the direction and expense of the Issuer, upon delivery to the Notes Collateral Agent of an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent (if any) to the execution and delivery of the Collateral Document have been satisfied. The Holders of such Series of Notes, by their acceptance of the Notes of such Series, hereby authorize and direct the Notes Collateral Agent to execute such Collateral Documents.

(t) Subject to the provisions of the applicable Collateral Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, each Holder of such Series of Notes, by acceptance of the Notes of such Series, agrees that the Notes Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Collateral Documents to which it is a party and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto (including any releases permitted hereunder), and act in accordance with the terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be required to exercise discretion under this First Supplemental Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Collateral Documents and shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or direction without the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes or the Trustee, as applicable, except as otherwise expressly provided for herein or in any Collateral Document.

(u) After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee may direct the Notes Collateral Agent in connection with any action required or permitted by this First Supplemental Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

(v) The Notes Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders of such Series of Notes distributed under the Collateral Documents or the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and to the extent not prohibited under the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, for turnover to the Trustee to make further distributions of such funds to itself, the Trustee and the Holders of such Series of Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.10 of the Base Indenture and the other provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture.

(w) Subject to the terms of the Collateral Documents, in each case that the Notes Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder or under any other Notes Document to take any action (an “Action”), including without limitation to make any determination, to give consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act hereunder or under any other Notes Document, the Notes Collateral Agent may seek direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such Series. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such Series. Subject to the terms of the Collateral Documents, if the Notes Collateral Agent shall request direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such Series with respect to any Action, the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless and until the Notes Collateral Agent shall have received direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes of such Series of the then outstanding Notes of such Series, and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

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

(y) Before the Notes Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting in each case at the request or direction of the Issuer, the Note Guarantors, or the Trustee, it may require an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to the provisions of Section 12.05 of the Base Indenture. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.

(z) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Notes Collateral Agent shall act pursuant to the instructions of the Holders of such Series of Notes and/or the Trustee solely with respect to the Collateral Documents and the Collateral.

(aa) The Issuer shall pay compensation to, reimburse expenses of and indemnify the Notes Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 7.07 of the Base Indenture. Accordingly, the reference to the “Trustee” in Section 6.10, Section 7.07 and Section 7.08 of the Base Indenture shall be deemed to include the reference to the Notes Collateral Agent.

(bb) The Issuer and each of the Holders of each Series of Notes by acceptance of the Notes of such Series acknowledges and directs that the benefits, indemnities, privileges, protections, and rights of the Notes Collateral Agent shall extend to (and may be claimed directly or by the Notes Collateral Agent on behalf of) each sub-agent, as the case may be.

(cc) The Notes Collateral Agent and entities associated with the Notes Collateral Agent shall be permitted to engage in business/contractual relationships with the Issuer and its affiliates and subsidiaries and profit therefrom without being obliged to account for such profits.

(dd) The Issuer and each Guarantor shall promptly, at the reasonable request of the Notes Collateral Agent, and at the expense of the Issuer, do all such acts and things reasonably necessary or desirable to assist the Notes Collateral Agent in carrying out its duties and obligations hereunder.

Section 8.03 of the Base Indenture shall be superseded in its entirety by the following language with respect to, and solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes; provided that this Section 9.01 shall not become part of the terms of any other Series of Securities:

In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 of the Base Indenture of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 of this , Sections 6.01(3), (4), (5), (6) (only as such clause 7 applies to Significant Subsidiaries) and (7) (only as such clause 7 applies to Significant Subsidiaries) of this First Supplemental Indenture will not constitute Events of Default.

ANNEX A

AGREED GUARANTEE AND SECURITY PRINCIPLES

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein and defined in the Indenture to which this Annex A is attached (the “Indenture”) or the Security Agreement (as defined in the Indenture), are used herein as defined in the Indenture or the Security Agreement, as applicable.

(A)

Considerations

In determining (x) what Liens will be granted by the Foreign Grantors or in respect of Foreign Assets to secure the Secured Obligations, (y) any limitations on the amount or scope of Guarantees by the Foreign Grantors of the Secured Obligations and (z) any limitations on the amount or scope of the Secured Obligations to be secured by any Foreign Assets, the following matters will be taken into account. For the avoidance of doubt, these Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles shall not apply to the Guarantees or grants of security provided by any Domestic Subsidiary of Parent that is a Guarantor. Liens shall not be created or perfected to the extent that they would:

(a)

result in any breach of corporate benefit, financial assistance, related or connected person transaction, fraudulent preference, thin capitalisation laws, capital maintenance rules, general statutory limitations, retention of title claims, “earnings stripping,” “controlled foreign corporation”, minority shareholder protection/equal treatment of shareholder rules or the laws or regulations (or analogous restrictions) of any applicable jurisdiction or any similar principles which may limit the ability of any Foreign Grantor to provide a guarantee or security or may require that that the guarantee or security be limited by an amount or scope or otherwise;

(b)

result in any (x) risk to the officers of the relevant grantor of Liens of contravention of any legal prohibition, statutory duty in such capacity or their fiduciary duties and/or (y) risk to the officers of the relevant grantor of Liens of personal, civil or criminal liability (in each case, other than arising from fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the relevant officer);

(c)

result in costs that are disproportionate to the benefit obtained by the First Priority Notes Secured Parties by reference to the costs of providing the Guarantee or creating or perfecting the lien versus the value of the assets being secured, as reasonably determined by the Parent;

(d)

impose an undue administration burden on, or material inconvenience to the ordinary course of operations of, the provider of the Lien, in each case which is disproportionate to the benefit obtained by the beneficiary of the Lien, as reasonably determined by the Issuer;

(e)

create Liens over any assets subject to third party arrangements which are permitted by the Notes Documents to the extent (and for so long as) such arrangements prevent those assets from being charged and so long as such arrangements are not overridden by applicable law; or

(f)

require the consent of any works council of the applicable subsidiary or similar employee body or regulatory authority in the jurisdiction of any Foreign Grantor.

Annex A - 1

These Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles embody recognition by all parties that there may be certain legal, regulatory and practical difficulties (including those in paragraph 1 above) in obtaining security and/or Guarantees from all Foreign Grantors or Foreign Assets in every jurisdiction in which Foreign Grantors or Foreign Assets are located, in particular:

(a)

such Foreign Grantor will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure perfection of liens, when required, and other legal formalities will be completed within the time periods specified in the Notes Documents or (if earlier or to the extent no such time periods are specified in the Notes Documents) within the time periods specified by applicable law in order to ensure due perfection, in each case subject to such longer period as may be agreed by the Credit Agreement Administrative Agent under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Perfection of security will not be required if it would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the relevant Foreign Grantor to conduct its operations and business in the ordinary course as otherwise permitted by the Notes Documents;

(b)

the maximum granted or secured amount may be limited to minimize stamp duty, notarization, registration or other applicable fees, taxes and duties where the benefit of increasing the granted or secured amount is disproportionate to the level of such fees, taxes and duties; or

(c)

where a class of assets to be secured includes material and immaterial assets, if the costs of granting security over the immaterial assets is disproportionate to the benefit of such security, security will be granted over the material assets only.

For the avoidance of doubt, in these Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles, “cost” includes, but is not limited to, income tax cost, registration taxes payable on the creation or enforcement or for the continuance of any Liens, stamp duties, the cost of maintaining capital for regulatory purposes, out-of-pocket expenses, and other fees and expenses directly incurred by the relevant grantor of Liens or any of its direct or indirect owners, subsidiaries or Affiliates.

(B)

Obligations to be Guaranteed and Secured

Subject to paragraph (A) above, the obligations to be secured are the Secured Obligations. The Liens are to be granted in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent on behalf of each First Priority Notes Secured Party (or equivalent local procedure and unless otherwise necessary in any jurisdictions). Subject to paragraph (A) above, the obligations to be guaranteed by Foreign Grantors are the Secured Obligations.

Annex A - 2

For ease of reference, the definitions of the “Secured Obligations” and “First Priority Notes Secured Parties” set forth in the Security Agreement should, where relevant and to the extent legally possible, be incorporated into each other Collateral Document (with the capitalized terms used in them having the meaning given to them in the Indenture or Security Agreement, as applicable).

(C)

General

Where appropriate, defined terms in the Collateral Documents should mirror those in the Indenture and the Security Agreement, as applicable.

The parties to the Indenture agree to negotiate the form of each Collateral Document in good faith in a manner consistent with these Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles. The form of supplemental indenture is set forth as Exhibit E to the Indenture and, with respect to any Foreign Grantor, shall be subject to any limitations as set out in any supplemental indenture applicable to such Foreign Grantor as may be required in order to comply with local laws in accordance with these Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles.

The Liens granted by any Foreign Grantor in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent on behalf of each First Priority Notes Secured Party shall, to the extent possible under local law, be enforceable only upon the acceleration of any of the Obligations under the Indenture and the Notes pursuant to Article 6 thereof or non-payment of the Obligations on the maturity date thereof (an “Enforcement Event”).

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall (1) deposit or securities account control agreements or control, lockbox or similar arrangements be required with respect to deposit accounts, securities accounts or commodities accounts, (2) landlord, mortgagee and bailee waivers or subordination agreements be required, or (3) notices be required to be sent to account debtors or other contractual third parties unless an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing, except for (i) notices to be sent to any debtors under a Luxembourg receivables pledge agreement and (ii) notices to be sent to any account bank under a Luxembourg account pledge agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, no Foreign Grantor shall be required to (1) grant Liens over any Excluded Assets or (2) enter into any Collateral Documents or take any perfection steps outside of the jurisdiction of organization of such Foreign Grantor (other than in Covered Jurisdictions, including the recordation of patent, trademark and copyright security agreements in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office).

(D)

Covenants/Representations and Warranties

Any representations, warranties or covenants which are required to be included in any Collateral Document shall reflect (to the extent to which the subject matter of such representation, warranty and covenant is the same as the corresponding representation, warranty and undertaking in the Indenture) the commercial deal set out in the Indenture and the Security Agreement (except to the extent that the Parent’s and the Notes Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, local counsel agree that it is necessary to include any further provisions (or deviate from those contained in the Indenture or the Security Agreement) in order to create, protect or preserve the Liens granted to the Notes Collateral Agent on behalf of each First Priority Notes Secured Party). Accordingly, the Collateral Documents shall not include, repeat or extend clauses set out in the Indenture including the representations or undertakings in respect of insurance, maintenance of assets, information, indemnities or the payment of costs or impose additional affirmative or negative covenants, in each case, unless applicable local counsel advise it necessary in order to ensure the validity of any Collateral Document or the perfection of any Lien granted thereunder.

Annex A - 3

(E)

Liens over Equity Interests

Subject to paragraphs (A), (B) and (C) above, equitable share charges (or the equivalent in local jurisdictions) will be made over Equity Interests in Foreign Grantors that are not Immaterial Subsidiaries to the extent provided to the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

Subject to paragraphs (A), (B) and (C) above, any equitable share charges (or the equivalent in local jurisdictions) over Equity Interests in Foreign Grantors will be granted pursuant to which the Notes Collateral Agent on behalf of each First Priority Notes Secured Party will be entitled, subject to local laws, to transfer the Equity Interests and satisfy the Secured Obligations out of the proceeds of such sale upon enforcement of the Lien.

Subject to paragraphs (A), (B) and (C) above, to the extent permitted under local law, share pledges should contain provisions to ensure that, unless an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing, the grantor of the Lien is entitled to receive dividends and exercise voting rights in any shareholders’ meeting of the relevant company (except if exercise would be materially adverse to the validity or enforceability of the Lien created or would materially impair the value of the shares charged) and if an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing the voting and dividend receipt rights may only be exercised by the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of each First Priority Notes Secured Party, it being understood that if such Enforcement Event is subsequently remedied or waived, the right to receive dividends and the voting rights in any shareholders’ meeting of the relevant company shall return to the grantor of the Lien.

Liens over Equity Interests will, where possible, automatically charge further Equity Interests issued or otherwise contemplate a procedure for the extension (at the cost of the relevant Issuer or Guarantor) of Liens over newly-issued shares.

Liens will not be created over minority shareholdings or Equity Interests in joint ventures which are not permitted to be pledged pursuant to the terms of such joint venture’s organizational, joint venture or equivalent documents (after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the UCC or other applicable law).

(F)

Liens over Receivables of Foreign Grantors

Except where an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing, unless necessary to ensure the creation of valid and/or perfected security interests, (and notwithstanding that the Lien may be expressed as a first fixed charge) the proceeds of Receivables shall not be paid into a nominated account unless the relevant Foreign Grantor is able freely to withdraw such money and the Foreign Grantor shall be free to deal with those receivables in the course of its business.

Annex A - 4

Each relevant Foreign Grantor shall not be required to notify third party debtors to any contracts that have been assigned and/or charged under a Collateral Document unless so required by the Notes Collateral Agent if an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing, other than with respect to a Luxembourg receivables pledge agreement which shall be notified to the relevant debtors in accordance with its provisions. The Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall however be entitled to give such notice if an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing.

No Lien will be granted under local law over any Receivables to the extent (and for so long as) such Receivable cannot be secured under the terms of the relevant contract (unless such prohibition is overridden by applicable law).

(G)

Insurances

Subject to paragraphs (A), (B) and (C) above, proceeds of material insurance policies owned by each relevant Foreign Grantor (excluding third party liability insurance policies) are to be assigned by way of security or pledged to the Notes Collateral Agent on behalf of each First Priority Notes Secured Party. Proceeds of insurance shall be collected and retained by the relevant Foreign Grantor (without the further consent of the First Priority Notes Secured Parties) (i) unless such insurance proceeds must be applied to mandatory prepayment in accordance with Section 2.11(c) of the credit agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, subject to any reinvestment rights therein or (ii) unless an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing.

If required by local law to create or perfect the security, notice of the security will be served on the insurance provider within 20 Business Days of the security being granted (or such longer period as the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent may agree under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) and, to the extent so required, the Foreign Grantor shall use its reasonable endeavors to obtain an acknowledgement of that notice within 30 Business Days of service. If a Foreign Grantor has used its reasonable endeavors but has not been able to obtain acknowledgement its obligations to obtain acknowledgement shall cease on the expiry of that 30 Business Days period.

(H)

Material Agreements And Claims

No Foreign Grantor shall be required to notify the counterparties to any contracts that have been charged/assigned under a Collateral Document that such contract has been so charged/assigned unless required by the Notes Collateral Agent if an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing. Liens should not be created over contracts, leases or licenses which prohibit assignment or the creation of such Liens or which require the consent of third parties for the creation of such Liens or such assignment unless the contracts are material, such consent has been obtained (and only for so long as such consent is in effect) or such prohibitions on assignment are overridden by applicable law.

Annex A - 5

Proceeds of Material Agreements (as defined in the credit agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) and claims shall be collected and retained by the relevant Foreign Grantor (without the further consent of the First Priority Notes Secured Parties) (i) unless such insurance proceeds must be applied to mandatory prepayment in accordance with Section 2.11(c) of the credit agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, subject to any reinvestment rights therein or (ii) unless an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing.

(I)

Liens Over Foreign Intellectual Property

Subject to paragraphs (A), (B) and (C) above, Liens over all registered Foreign Intellectual Property (other than any applications for trademarks or service marks filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”), or any successor office thereto pursuant to 15 U.S.C. §1051 Section 1(b) unless and until evidence of use of the mark in interstate commerce is submitted to the PTO pursuant to 15 U.S.C. §1051 Section 1(c) or Section 1(d)) owned by each relevant Notes Party are to be given, and recordation is to be made in all relevant registries of a Covered Jurisdiction in which the grantor of the Liens is resident (in each case to the extent such Foreign Intellectual Property is registered in such jurisdiction) unless the granting of such Liens would contravene any legal or contractual prohibition. Where any relevant Notes Party has the right to the use of any Foreign Intellectual Property through contractual arrangements to which it is a party, a Lien over such contract and/or any rights arising thereunder shall be given in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent on behalf of each First Priority Notes Secured Party, except to the extent (and for so long as) the giving over of such Liens would contravene any legal or contractual prohibition. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Liens should not be created over intellectual property or any contractual relationships described above (or any rights arising thereunder) where such Lien or assignment is prohibited or the consent of third parties would be required for the creation of such Lien or such assignment unless such consent has been obtained (and only for so long as such consent is in effect) or such prohibition is overridden by applicable law. Liens over intellectual property will only be required to be perfected in the United States of America, except with respect to Foreign Intellectual Property issued or registered by, or applied-for in Ireland or Luxembourg.

If a Foreign Grantor grants a Lien over any of its intellectual property, it will be free to deal with those assets in the course of its business (including without limitation, allowing any intellectual property to lapse or become abandoned if, in the reasonable good faith judgment of Parent, it is no longer useful, valuable, or material to the conduct of the business of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole) until an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing.

(J)

Liens Over Bank Accounts

No Foreign Grantor shall have any obligation to provide fixed security over bank accounts. The Notes Parties shall have no obligation to notify any bank at which a bank account of a Notes Party is held of any Lien on such bank account unless (i) an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing and (ii) with respect to any Luxembourg law governed account pledge agreement. Such Foreign Grantor shall be free to deal with those accounts in the course of its business until an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing.

Annex A - 6

With respect to any Luxembourg law governed account pledge agreement notice of the security will be served on the account bank within one (1) Business Day of the date of execution of the relevant Collateral Document and, to the extent so required, the Foreign Grantor shall use its reasonable endeavors to obtain an acknowledgement of that notice within three (3) Business Days of service.

Any security over bank accounts shall be subject to any prior security interests in favor of the account bank which are created either by law or in the standard terms and conditions of the account bank, unless these are waived under the terms of the relevant Collateral Document (including with respect to any Luxembourg law governed account pledge agreement). The notice of security shall request these are waived by the account bank but the Foreign Grantor shall not be required to change its banking arrangements if these security interests are not waived or only partially waived.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this paragraph (J) shall not apply to Excluded Accounts. For the avoidance of doubt, no control agreements or other lockbox or control or similar agreements or arrangements shall be required with respect to the perfection of any security interest or Lien in any Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts (in each case, as defined in the UCC).

(K)

Other Assets

Liens shall be given over any other material assets of any relevant Foreign Grantor from time to time, according to the principles set out herein. Such Foreign Grantor shall be free to deal with those assets in the course of its business until an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing.

To the extent any Notes Party owns any Foreign Assets that are located in a jurisdiction other than a Covered Jurisdiction, no action under the laws of such jurisdiction shall be required to grant or perfect Liens in such Foreign Assets.

(L)

Perfection of Liens

Where customary, a Collateral Document may contain a power of attorney allowing the Notes Collateral Agent to perform on behalf of the grantor of the Lien, its obligations under such Collateral Document only if an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing.

Subject to paragraphs (A), (B), (C) and (I) above, where obligatory or customary under the relevant local law all registrations and filings necessary in relation to the Collateral Documents and/or the Liens evidenced or created thereby are to be undertaken within applicable time limits, by the appropriate local counsel (based on local law and custom as included in the relevant Collateral Document), unless otherwise agreed between Parent and the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent and, in each case, subject to such longer period as the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion.

Annex A - 7

Subject to paragraphs (A), (B) and (C) above, where obligatory, documents of title relating to the applicable assets charged will be required to be delivered within 90 days or such later date after the use of commercially reasonable efforts of such charge to the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent.

Except as explicitly provided herein, notice, acknowledgement or consent to be obtained from a third party will only be required where the efficacy of the Lien requires it or where it is practicable and reasonable having regard to the costs involved, the commercial impact on the Foreign Grantor in question and the likelihood of obtaining the acknowledgement, in each case, as reasonably determined by Parent in good faith, and, when possible without prejudicing the validity of the Lien concerned, such perfecting procedures shall be delayed until an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing.

(M)

Liens

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Indenture, no provision contained herein shall prejudice the right of the Notes Parties to benefit from the permitted exceptions set out in Section 4.22 of the Indenture regarding the granting of Liens over assets.

(N)

Proceeds

The Collateral Documents will state that the proceeds of enforcement of such Collateral Document will be applied as specified in Section 9.2 of the Security Agreement, subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

(O)

Regulatory consent

The enforcement of security over shares and the exercise by the Notes Collateral Agent of voting rights in respect of such shares may be subject to regulatory consent. Accordingly, enforcement of any security over any shares subject to such a restriction, and the exercise by the Notes Collateral Agent of the voting rights in respect of any such shares, will be expressed to be conditional upon obtaining any consents required by law or regulation.

[Form of Reverse Side of Initial Note]

5.809% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”)

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

(1) INTEREST.

The Issuer promises to pay interest semi-annually in arrears May 8 and November 8 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes (computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the Original Issue Date (shown on the face of this Note) until maturity at a rate per annum equal to 5.809%; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be November 8, 2024. If an interest payment date or the maturity date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal or interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date the payment was due, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period.

(2) METHOD OF PAYMENT.

The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the April 24 or October 23 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.14 of the Base Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Paying Agent maintained for such purpose within the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Issuer, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the books and records of the Registrar; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest and premium, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Issuer or the Paying Agent. Such payment will be in such money of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

(3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR.

Initially, Citibank, N.A., the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

Exhibit A - 5

(4) INDENTURE.

The Issuer issued the Notes pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of May 8, 2024 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Issuer, Parent and the Trustee, as amended and supplemented with respect to the Notes by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 8, 2024 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”; the Base Indenture, as amended and supplemented with respect to the Notes by the First Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”).

The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and to the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are senior secured obligations of the Issuer. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder.

The Issuer’s obligations under the Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis, to the extent set forth in the Indenture and the Collateral Documents, by each of the Guarantors to the extent set forth in the Indenture.

(5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

Prior to April 8, 2027 (the “Par Call Date”), the Issuer may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming that such Notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 15 basis points, less unpaid interest accrued to the date of redemption (any excess of the amount described in this bullet point over the amount described in the immediately succeeding bullet point, the “Applicable Premium”); and

(b) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date, as calculated by the Issuer, which the Trustee shall not be required to review, investigate or verify.

On or after the Par Call Date, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Issuer in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

Exhibit A - 6

The Issuer’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the depositary’s procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed.

Exhibit A - 7

The Trustee shall have no responsibility for calculating the redemption price for the Notes.

Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, on and after its redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. At or before 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the redemption date, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or a paying agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the Notes to be redeemed on such date. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with the procedures of DTC.

(6) MANDATORY REDEMPTION.

The Issuer is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

(7) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

Notice of redemption will be sent at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed, except that redemption notices may be sent or mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $200,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed.

(8) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER.

If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Issuer has previously or concurrently delivered a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes pursuant to Section 3.01 of the First Supplemental Indenture, within 30 days following such Change of Control Triggering Event, the Issuer will make a Change of Control Offer on the terms set forth in the Indenture and in compliance with Section 3.05 of the First Supplemental Indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuer will offer to purchase all of the Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase (subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date if the Notes have not been redeemed or repurchased prior to such date).

(9) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE.

The Notes are in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer or exchange of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Issuer need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes (i) for a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days immediately preceding the sending of notice of redemption of Notes selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day such notice is sent or (ii) during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

Exhibit A - 8

(10) PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

(11) AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. The Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Documents, the Notes and the Note Guarantees may be amended, supplemented or waived as provided in the Indenture.

(12) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. If there is a continuing Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(6) and 6.01(7) of the Indenture with respect to the Parent or the Issuer) with respect to the Notes, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of such Notes affected thereby may declare the principal amount of all of such Notes to be due and payable immediately. However, at any time after the Trustee or the Holders, as the case may be, declare an acceleration with respect to any such Notes, but before the applicable person has obtained a judgment or decree based on such acceleration, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, under certain conditions, cancel such acceleration if the Parent has cured all Events of Default (other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal) with respect to the Notes or all such Events of Default have been waived as provided in the Indenture. If an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(6) and 6.01(7) of the First Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Parent or the Issuer occurs, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable without any further action or notice.

(12) TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH ISSUER. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Issuer or its respective Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its respective Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.

(13) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, officer, member, manager, partner, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Issuer or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Documents, the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

(14) AUTHENTICATION. This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual, facsimile or electronic (including PDF) signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

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

Exhibit A - 9

(16) CUSIP NUMBERS. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon. No redemption will be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

(17) COLLATERAL. The Notes and the related Note Guarantees will be secured by the Collateral on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture and the Collateral Documents. The Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hold the Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Holders, in each case pursuant to the Collateral Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any. Each Holder, by accepting this Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Collateral Documents (including the provisions providing for the foreclosure and release of Collateral) and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, each as may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and the Indenture, and authorizes and directs the Notes Collateral Agent to enter into the Collateral Documents and the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, on the Issue Date, if applicable, and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith.
