(1) Consolidated Net Income, plus

(2) in each case only to the extent deducted in determining Consolidated Net Income,

(a) Consolidated Income Tax Expense to the extent actually paid with respect to such period,

(b) Consolidated Amortization Expense,

(d) Consolidated Interest Incurred, and

(e) all other non-cash items reducing the Consolidated Net Income (excluding any non-cash charge to the extent it represents or results in an accrual of a reserve for cash charges in any future period or amortization of a prepaid cash expense that was capitalized at the time of payment) for such period,

in each case determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, minus

(3) the aggregate amount of all non-cash items, determined on a consolidated basis, to the extent such items increased Consolidated Net Income for such period other than accruals of revenue in the ordinary course of business.

“Consolidated Depreciation Expense” for any period means the depreciation expense of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries for such period, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.

“Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” means the ratio of Consolidated Cash Flow Available for Fixed Charges during the most recent four consecutive full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available (the “Four-Quarter Period”) ending on or prior to the date of the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (the “Transaction Date”) to Consolidated Interest Incurred for the Four-Quarter Period. For purposes of this definition, Consolidated Cash Flow Available for Fixed Charges and Consolidated Interest Incurred shall be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis for the period of such calculation to:

(1) the incurrence of any Indebtedness, the inclusion of any Indebtedness on the balance sheet or the issuance of any preferred stock, in each case of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (and the application of the proceeds thereof) and any repayment, repurchase, defeasance or other discharge or the assumption by another Person that is not a Restricted Subsidiary and with respect to which the Issuer and all Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly and unconditionally released by such Person (collectively, “repayment”) of other Indebtedness or redemption of other preferred stock (other than the incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness pursuant to any revolving credit arrangement unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and the related commitments terminated and not replaced) occurring during the Four-Quarter Period or at any time subsequent to the last day of the Four-Quarter Period and on or prior to the Transaction Date, as if such incurrence, repayment, issuance or redemption, as the case may be (and the application of the proceeds thereof), occurred on the first day of the Four-Quarter Period;

(2) any Asset Sale or disposition or Asset Acquisition (including any Asset Acquisition giving rise to the need to make such calculation as a result of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (including any Person who becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Acquisition) incurring Acquired Indebtedness and also including any Consolidated Cash Flow Available for Fixed Charges (including any directly attributable pro forma expense and cost reductions calculated on a basis consistent with GAAP; provided however that any such pro forma expense and cost

reductions shall be determined in good faith by a senior financial officer of the Issuer) occurring during the Four-Quarter Period or at any time subsequent to the last day of the Four-Quarter Period and on or prior to the Transaction Date, as if such Asset Sale or disposition or Asset Acquisition or other disposition (including the incurrence of, or assumption or liability for, any such Indebtedness or Acquired Indebtedness) occurred on the first day of the Four-Quarter Period; and

(3) the Consolidated Cash Flow Available for Fixed Charges and the Consolidated Interest Expense attributable to discontinued operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP shall be excluded but only to the extent that the obligations giving rise to the Consolidated Interest Expense will not be obligations of the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries following the Transaction Date.

If the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary directly or indirectly guarantees Indebtedness of a third Person (other than a Restricted Subsidiary, in the case of the Issuer, or the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary, in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary), the preceding sentence shall give effect to the incurrence of such guaranteed Indebtedness as if the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary had directly incurred or otherwise assumed such guaranteed Indebtedness.

If since the beginning of the Four-Quarter Period and on or prior to the Transaction Date, any Person (A) shall have become a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary and (B) shall have incurred any Indebtedness or discharged any Indebtedness or made any asset sale or disposition or any Asset Acquisition that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above if made by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary during such period, Consolidated Cash Flow Available for Fixed Charges and Consolidated Interest Incurred for such period will be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such transaction occurred on the first day of such period.

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any calculation under this definition, the pro forma calculations will be determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuer.

In calculating Consolidated Interest Incurred for purposes of determining the denominator (but not the numerator) of this Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio:

(1) interest on outstanding Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis as of the Transaction Date and which will continue to be so determined thereafter shall be deemed to have accrued at a fixed rate per annum equal to the rate of interest on this Indebtedness in effect on the Transaction Date;

(2) if interest on any Indebtedness actually incurred on the Transaction Date may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rates, then the interest rate in effect on the Transaction Date will be deemed to have been in effect during the Four-Quarter Period; and

(3) notwithstanding the immediately preceding clauses (1) and (2), interest on Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis, to the extent such interest is covered by agreements with a term of at least one year after the Transaction Date relating to Hedging Obligations, shall be deemed to accrue at the rate per annum resulting after giving effect to the operation of these agreements.

“Consolidated Income Tax Expense” for any period means the provision for taxes of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.

“Consolidated Interest Expense” for any period means the sum, without duplication, of the total interest expense of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries for such period, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP and including, without duplication:

(1) interest expense attributable to Capitalized Lease Obligations and the interest portion of rent expense associated with Attributable Indebtedness in respect of the relevant lease giving rise thereto, determined as if such lease were a Capitalized Lease;

(2) commissions, discounts and other fees and charges owed with respect to letters of credit securing financial obligations, bankers’ acceptance financing and receivables financings;

(3) the net costs associated with interest rate Hedging Obligations (including amortization of fees);

(4) amortization of debt issuance costs, debt discount (including the amortization of original issue discount resulting from the issuance of Indebtedness at less than par) or premium and other financing fees and expenses; provided, however, that any amortization of bond premium will be credited to reduce Consolidated Interest Expense unless, pursuant to GAAP, such amortization of bond premium has otherwise reduced Consolidated Interest Expense;

(5) the interest portion of any deferred payment obligations that constitute Indebtedness;

(6) all other non-cash interest expense; provided, however, that any non-cash interest expense or income attributable to the movement in the ▇▇▇▇-to-market valuation of Hedging Obligations or other derivative instrument pursuant to GAAP shall be excluded from the calculation of Consolidated Interest Expense;

(7) all dividend payments on any series of Disqualified Equity Interests of the Issuer or any preferred stock of any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any such Disqualified Equity Interests or any preferred stock held by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary or paid in Qualified Equity Interests); and

(8) all interest on any Indebtedness of any other Person (other than a Restricted Subsidiary, in the case of the Issuer, or the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary, in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary) guaranteed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or secured by a Lien on assets of the Issuer or one of the Restricted Subsidiaries, in each case to the extent paid by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary.

“Consolidated Interest Incurred” for any period means the sum, without duplication, of (1) Consolidated Interest Expense and (2) interest capitalized for such period (including interest capitalized with respect to discontinued operations).

“Consolidated Net Income” for any period means the net income (or loss) of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries for such period determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP; provided that there shall be excluded from calculations of such net income (to the extent otherwise included therein), without duplication:

(1) the net income (or loss) of any Person (other than a Restricted Subsidiary) in which any Person other than the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries has an ownership interest, except to the extent that cash in an amount equal to any such income has actually been received by the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries during such period or such loss has been funded with cash or assets of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary;

(2) for the purposes of calculating the Restricted Payments Basket only, the net income of any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary of such Person during such period to the extent that (but only so long as) the declaration or payment of dividends or similar distributions by such Non-Guarantor Subsidiary of that income is not permitted by operation of the terms of its charter or any agreement, instrument, judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or governmental regulation applicable to that Subsidiary during such period;

Provisions relating to the Initial Securities, the Private Exchange Securities and the Exchange Securities are set forth in the Rule 144A/Regulation S Appendix attached hereto (the “Appendix”) which is hereby incorporated in, and expressly made part of, this Indenture. The Initial Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A to the Appendix which is hereby incorporated in, and expressly made a part of, this Indenture. The Exchange Securities, the Private Exchange Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B to the Appendix, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Issuer is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Issuer). Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Securities set forth in the Appendix and Exhibits A and B are part of the terms of this Indenture.

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

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

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

On the Issue Date, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver $400,000,000 of 5.875% Senior Notes Due 2025 and, at any time and from time to time thereafter, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Securities for original issue in an aggregate principal amount specified by the Issuer in such order, in each case upon a written order of the Issuer signed by an Officer of the Issuer. Such order shall specify the amount of the Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Securities is to be authenticated and, in the case of an issuance of Additional Securities pursuant to Section 2.13 after the Issue Date, shall certify that such issuance is in compliance with this Indenture, including Section 4.03.

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

SECTION 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent and the term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar.

The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Paying Agent or co-registrar not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the terms of the TIA. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Issuer or any Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary incorporated or organized within the United States of America may act as Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or transfer agent.

The Issuer may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) if applicable, acceptance of an appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Issuer and such successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) written notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above. The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee; provided, however, that the Trustee may resign as Paying Agent or Registrar only if the Trustee also resigns as Trustee in accordance with Section 7.08.

The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent in connection with the Securities.

SECTION 2.04. Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust. Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal and interest on any Security, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming due. The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Securityholders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. If the Issuer or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.04, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. Upon any Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7) or (8), the Trustee shall serve as the Paying Agent for the Securities.

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

SECTION 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. The Securities shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Security for registration of transfer. When a Security is presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements therefor are met. When Securities are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. Without the prior consent of the Issuer, the Registrar is not required (1) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security selected for redemption, (2) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be redeemed or (3) to register the transfer or exchange of a Security between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date.

SECTION 2.07. Replacement Securities. If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Issuer to protect the Issuer and in the judgment of the Trustee to protect, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-registrar from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Security.

Every replacement Security is an additional Obligation of the Issuer.

SECTION 2.08. Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Security.

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuer receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code).

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

SECTION 2.09. Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Such temporary Securities may be Global Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities and deliver them in exchange for temporary Securities.

SECTION 2.10. Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and destroy (subject to the record retention requirements of the Trustee, the Exchange Act and any other applicable law or regulation) all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and deliver a certificate of such cancellation to the Issuer upon the Issuer’s written request. The Issuer may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 2.11. Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, the Issuer shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Issuer may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Securityholders on a subsequent special record date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly send to each Securityholder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

SECTION 2.12. CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, etc. The Issuer in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (in each case if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of

a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall advise the Trustee promptly in writing of any change in any “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs or “Common Code” numbers applicable to the Securities.

SECTION 2.13. Issuance of Additional Securities. After the Issue Date, the Issuer shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Section 4.03, to issue Additional Securities under this Indenture in an unlimited principal amount, which Securities shall have identical terms as the Initial Securities issued on the Issue Date, other than with respect to the issue date, the issue price, the first interest payment date and the first date from which interest will accrue. All the Securities issued under this Indenture shall be treated as a single class for all purposes of this Indenture including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase.

With respect to any Additional Securities, the Issuer shall set forth in a resolution of the Board of Directors and an Officers’ Certificate, which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:

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

(2) the issue price, the issue date, the first interest payment date, the first date from which interest will accrue and the CUSIP number of such Additional Securities; provided, however, that a separate CUSIP number will be issued for any Additional Securities unless the Securities and the Additional Securities are fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes, subject to the procedures of the Depository; and

(3) whether such Additional Securities shall be Initial Securities or shall be issued in the form of Exchange Securities as set forth in Exhibit B to the Appendix.

Article 3

REDEMPTION

SECTION 3.01. Notices to Trustee. If the Issuer elects to redeem Securities pursuant to Section 3.07 and paragraph 5 of the Securities, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date, the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and the paragraph of the Securities pursuant to which the redemption will occur.

The Issuer shall give each notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date. Any such notice may be canceled at any time prior to a notice of such redemption being sent to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect.

SECTION 3.02. Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed. If fewer than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed, as so notified by the Issuer; or if the Securities are not then listed on a national security exchange, on a pro rata basis (or in the case of Global Securities, based on the procedures of the Depository that most nearly approximates a pro rata selection), by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate, subject to such rounding as may be determined by the Trustee to ensure that the Securities are redeemed in multiples of $1,000 in principal amount and that no unredeemed portion of a Security redeemed in part is less than $2,000 in principal amount. The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Securities that have denominations larger than $2,000. Securities and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in principal amounts of $2,000 or any greater integral multiple of $1,000 thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of the Securities or portions of Securities to be redeemed.

SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption. At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a date for redemption of Securities, the Issuer shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address, or in the case of Global Securities, deliver electronically in accordance with the procedures of the Depository, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to the redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Securities or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. Any inadvertent defect in the notice of redemption, including an inadvertent failure to give notice, to any Holder selected for redemption shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Security redeemed in accordance with provisions of this Indenture.

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

(1) the redemption date;

(2) the redemption price;

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

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

(5) if fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the identification and principal amounts of the particular Securities to be redeemed;

(6) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Securities (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

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

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

(9) if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be extended or delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so extended or delayed.

At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense. In such event, the Issuer shall provide the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate containing the information required by this Section 3.03 at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which the Issuer instructs the Trustee to send the notice (unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period).

SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is given, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice; provided, however, that any redemption notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an Equity Offering or other corporate transaction, including without limitation a financing or a Change of Control. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the related interest payment date), and such Securities shall be canceled by the Trustee. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder.

SECTION 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer or a Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Securities to be redeemed on that date other than Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption which have been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation. On and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on Securities or portions thereof called for redemption so long as the Issuer has deposited with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the principal of, plus accrued and unpaid interest on, the Securities to be redeemed. The Paying Agent will promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Securities to be redeemed.

SECTION 3.06. Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Issuer’s expense) a new Security equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

SECTION 3.07. Optional Redemption.

(a) Except as set forth below, the Issuer shall not be entitled to redeem the Securities.

(b) On and after July 15, 2020, the Issuer shall be entitled at its option to redeem all or a portion of the Securities upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed in percentages of principal amount on the redemption date), plus accrued interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on July 15 of the years set forth below:

(d) Prior to July 15, 2020, the Issuer shall be entitled at its option, on one or more occasions, to redeem all or a portion of the Securities at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

The Asset Sale Offer will remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than three Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Issuer will apply all Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase of Securities and, if applicable, such Pari Passu Indebtedness (on a pro rata basis, if applicable) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Securities and other Indebtedness tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Securities so purchased will be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

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

accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Securities or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09.

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.03, (1) in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Permitted Indebtedness described in Section 4.03(b) or is permitted under Section 4.03(a), the Issuer, in its sole discretion, shall classify such item of Permitted Indebtedness on the date of incurrence and may later reclassify such item of Indebtedness in any manner that then complies with this Section 4.03 and will be entitled to divide the amount and type of such Indebtedness among more than one of such clauses under Sections 4.03(a) and (b); provided that all Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date under the Credit Facilities, after giving effect to the use of proceeds of this offering, shall be deemed incurred under Section 4.03(b)(1) and not Section 4.03(a) or Section 4.03(b)(3) and may not later be reclassified, (2) if obligations in respect of letters of credit are incurred pursuant to a revolving Credit Facility and relate to other Indebtedness, then such letters of credit shall be treated as incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(1) and such other Indebtedness shall not be included, and (3) except as provided in Section 4.03(b)(2), Security Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness that is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included.

(d) Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of debt discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness, the reclassification of any obligation as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles and the payment of dividends in the form of additional shares of preferred stock or Disqualified Equity Interests will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.03. For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be utilized, calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

SECTION 4.04. Limitations on Restricted Payments. (a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted Payment unless at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:

(1) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a consequence thereof;

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis, the Issuer could incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.03(a); and

(3) the amount of such Restricted Payment, when added to the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made after the Accrual Date (other than Restricted Payments made pursuant to Section 4.04(b) (2) through (5) and (7) through (13)), would not exceed the sum (the “Restricted Payments Basket”) of (without duplication):

(A) 50% of Consolidated Net Income for the period (taken as one accounting period) from April 1, 2014 to and including the last day of the fiscal quarter ended immediately prior to the date of such calculation for which consolidated financial statements are available (or, if such Consolidated Net Income shall be a deficit, minus 100% of such aggregate deficit), plus

(B) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds or the Fair Market Value of any assets to be used in a Permitted Business or Capital Stock of a Person engaged in a Permitted Business (provided, that, such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer or such Person is merged or consolidated into the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries) received by the Issuer either (i) as contributions to the common equity of the Issuer after the Accrual Date or (ii) received by the Issuer from the issuance and sale of Qualified Equity Interests after the Accrual Date, other than net cash proceeds received from an issuance or sale of such Qualified Equity Interests to a Subsidiary of the Issuer or to an employee stock ownership plan, option plan or similar trust to the extent such sale to an employee stock ownership plan or similar trust is financed by loans from or guaranteed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary unless such loans have been repaid with cash on or prior to the date of determination, plus

(C) the aggregate amount by which Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary is reduced on the Issuer’s balance sheet upon the conversion or exchange (other than in respect of Indebtedness held by a Subsidiary of the Issuer) of Indebtedness issued subsequent to the Accrual Date into Qualified Equity Interests (less the amount of any cash or the fair value of assets, distributed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary upon such conversion or exchange), plus

(D) in the case of the disposition or repayment of or return on any Investment that was treated as a Restricted Payment made after the Accrual Date, an amount (to the extent not included in the computation of Section 4.04(a)(3)(A)) equal to the net reduction of the portion of such Investment that was treated as a Restricted Payment, plus

(E) upon a Redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent not already included in the computation of Section 4.04(a)(3)(A), the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value of the Issuer’s proportionate interest in such Subsidiary immediately following such Redesignation, and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Issuer’s Investments in such Subsidiary to the extent such Investments reduced the amount available for subsequent Restricted Payments under this Section 4.04(a)(3) and were not previously repaid or otherwise reduced, plus

(F) 100% of the principal amount of, or, if issued at a discount, the accreted value of, any guarantee by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary incurred after the Accrual Date that is subsequently released or discharged (other than due to a payment on such guarantee), but only to the extent that such guarantee was treated as a Restricted Payment pursuant to this Section 4.04(a)(3) when made.

(b) The provisions of Section 4.04(a) shall not prohibit:

(1) the payment by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of any dividend or similar distribution or the consummation of any irrevocable redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution or the giving of the redemption notice, if on the date of declaration or notice, the dividend or redemption payment would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture;

(2) any purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, Subordinated Indebtedness that constitutes Refinancing Indebtedness;

(3) the repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Equity Interests of the Issuer held by officers, directors or employees or former officers, directors or employees (or their transferees, estates or beneficiaries under their estates) of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, pursuant to any equity subscription agreement, stock option agreement, shareholders’ agreement or similar agreement or benefit plan of any kind; provided that the aggregate cash consideration paid for all such payments shall not exceed $4.0 million during any calendar year (it being understood, however, that unused amounts permitted to be paid pursuant to this proviso are available to be carried over to subsequent calendar years, so long as the cash consideration applied to the repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Equity Interests pursuant to this Section 4.04(b)(3) shall in no event exceed $8.0 million in any calendar year);

(4) repurchases of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options or stock appreciation rights if the Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise price thereof;

(5) the repurchase of Equity Interests upon vesting of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance share units or similar equity incentives to satisfy tax withholding or similar tax obligations with respect thereto;

(6) the payment of dividends on the Issuer’s Qualified Equity Interests (other than preferred stock) (or the payment of any dividend to any parent of the Issuer to fund the payment by such parent of a dividend on such entity’s Qualified Equity Interests (other than preferred stock)) of up to 6% per annum of the net proceeds received by the Issuer from any public equity offering after the Accrual Date of such Qualified Equity Interests of the Issuer or contributed to the Issuer as common equity capital by any parent from any public equity offering of such Qualified Equity Interests of any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer;

(7) Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount, when taken together with all Restricted Payments made pursuant to this Section 4.04(b)(7) and then outstanding, does not exceed $30.0 million;

(8) any purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Equity Interests, Disqualified Equity Interests or Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, Equity Interests of the Issuer (other than Disqualified Equity Interests and other than Equity Interests issued or sold to a Subsidiary or an employee stock ownership plan or similar trust to the extent such sale to an employee stock ownership plan or similar trust is financed by loans from or guaranteed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary unless such loans have been repaid with cash on or prior to the date of determination); provided, however, that the net cash proceeds from such sale of Equity Interests will be excluded from Section 4.04(a)(3)(B) above to the extent so applied;

(9) any purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Disqualified Equity Interests of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary made by exchange for or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of Disqualified Equity Interests of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, so long as such refinancing Disqualified Equity Interests constitute Refinancing Indebtedness;

(10) any purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Subordinated Indebtedness (a) at a purchase price not greater than 101% of the principal amount of such Subordinated Indebtedness in the event of a Change of Control in accordance with provisions similar to Section 4.09 or (b) at a purchase price not greater than 100% of the principal amount thereof in accordance with provisions similar to Section 4.06; provided that, prior to or simultaneously with such purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement, the Issuer has made the Change of Control Offer or Asset Sale Offer, as applicable, as provided in such covenant with respect to the Securities and has completed the repurchase or redemption of all Securities validly tendered for payment in connection with such Change of Control Offer or Asset Sale Offer;

(11) cash payments in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares of the Issuer’s Equity Interests upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any stock options, warrants, other rights to purchase Equity Interests or other convertible or exchangeable securities or any other transaction otherwise permitted by this Section 4.04;

(13) the declaration and payment of regularly scheduled or accrued dividends to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Equity Interests of the Issuer or preferred stock of any Restricted Subsidiary issued on or after the Accrual Date in accordance with Section 4.03 to the extent such dividends are included in the definition of “Consolidated Interest Expense.”

The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The amount of any Restricted Payment paid in cash shall be its face amount.

SECTION 4.05. Limitations on Dividend and Other Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Equity Interests to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any Indebtedness or other obligations owed to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the priority of any preferred stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on common equity capital shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Equity Interests);

(2) make loans or advances to the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary; or

(3) sell, lease or transfer any of its property or assets to the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that such transfers shall not include any type of transfer described in Section 4.05(1) or (2));

(G) any encumbrance or restriction with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary or its property or assets in existence on or before the date on which such Restricted Subsidiary or its property or assets were acquired (directly or indirectly) by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than encumbrances or restrictions relating to Indebtedness incurred as consideration in, or to provide all or any portion of the funds utilized to consummate, the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was acquired by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the assets of any Person, other than the Person so acquired or any of its Subsidiaries, or the assets of the Person so acquired or any of its Subsidiaries (including after-acquired property);

(H) encumbrances or restrictions arising in connection with Refinancing Indebtedness; provided, however, that any such encumbrances and restrictions are not materially more restrictive than those contained in the agreements creating or evidencing the Indebtedness being refinanced (for which a determination in good faith by the Issuer’s Board of Directors shall be conclusive);

(I) customary provisions in leases, licenses, partnership agreements, limited liability company organizational governance documents, joint venture agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business that restrict the transfer of leasehold interests, licensed interests or ownership interests in such partnership, limited liability company, joint venture or similar Person,

(L) customary restrictions in other Indebtedness incurred in compliance with Section 4.03; provided that such restrictions, taken as a whole, in the good faith determination of the Issuer’s Board of Directors (a) are not materially more restrictive with respect to such encumbrances and restrictions than those contained in the existing agreements referenced in clause (D) of this Section 4.05, or (b) will not have a material adverse effect on the Issuer’s ability to make payments of interest on and principal of the Securities (for which a determination in good faith by the Issuer’s Board of Directors shall be conclusive);

(M) any encumbrances or restrictions existing under (A) development agreements or other contracts entered into with municipal entities, agencies or sponsors in connection with the entitlement or development of real property or (B) agreements for funding of infrastructure, including in respect of the issuance of community facility district bonds, metro district bonds and subdivision improvement bonds, and similar bonding requirements arising in the ordinary course of business of a homebuilder;

(O) any encumbrances or restrictions imposed by any amendments or refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (A) through (N) of this Section 4.05; provided that such amendments or refinancings are not materially more restrictive with respect to such encumbrances and restrictions than those prior to such amendment or refinancing (for which a determination in good faith by the Issuer’s Board of Directors shall be conclusive).

SECTION 4.06. Limitations on Asset Sales. (a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, cause, make, suffer to exist or consummate any Asset Sale unless: (1) the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (such Fair Market Value to be determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale) of the assets subject to such Asset Sale and (2) at least 75% of the total consideration received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in such Asset Sale or series of related Asset Sales consists of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that the foregoing requirement shall not apply with respect to any Asset Sale by way of loss, damage or destruction of property or assets or condemnation or other involuntary disposition of such property or assets.

For the purposes of Section 4.06(a)(2) and for no other purpose, the following shall be deemed to be cash (i) the amount (without duplication) of any Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary (as shown on the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet) that is expressly assumed by the transferee in such Asset Sale and with respect to which the Issuer and all Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly and unconditionally released by the holder of such Indebtedness in writing; (ii) the amount of any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are within 120 days following the closing of such Asset Sale converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary to cash (to the extent of the cash actually so received); (iii) the Fair Market Value of any assets (other than securities, unless such securities represent Equity Interests in an entity engaged in a Permitted Business, such entity becomes a Restricted Subsidiary and the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary acquires voting and management control of such entity) received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to be used by it in the Permitted Business and (iv) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale, the Fair Market Value of which, when taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received since the Issue Date pursuant to this clause (iv) (and not subsequently converted

into Cash Equivalents that are treated as Net Available Proceeds of an Asset Sale), does not exceed the greater of (A) $20.0 million and (B) 4.0% of Consolidated Tangible Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value.

(b) If the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary engages in an Asset Sale, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary shall, no later than 365 days following the receipt of the Net Available Proceeds, apply all or any of the Net Available Proceeds therefrom (1) to repay, prepay, redeem or repurchase and, with respect to any revolving Indebtedness, permanently reduce Indebtedness and commitments with respect thereto (provided that to the extent such Indebtedness is a Borrowing Base Facility, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be obligated to permanently reduce Indebtedness or commitments thereunder) any (x) Obligations under (i) secured Indebtedness under any Credit Facility and (ii) secured Indebtedness of the Issuer (other than any Disqualified Equity Interests or Subordinated Indebtedness) or secured Indebtedness of a Guarantor, in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer, (y) Obligations under the Securities or any other Pari Passu Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor; provided that if the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary shall so repay or prepay any such other Pari Passu Indebtedness, the Issuer will reduce Obligations under the Securities on a pro rata basis (based on the amount so applied to such repayments or prepayments) by, at their option, (A) redeeming Securities as described under paragraph 5 of the Securities, (B) making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.06(c) and (d) for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Securities at a purchase price of at least 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, thereon up to the principal amount of Securities to be repurchased or (C) purchasing Securities through privately negotiated transactions or open market purchases, in a manner that complies with this Indenture and applicable securities law, or (z) Indebtedness of a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary with proceeds of Asset Sales by such Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer; (2) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Equity Interests of, another Person engaged in a Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Equity Interests, such Person is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer; (3) to make a capital expenditure; (4) to acquire Additional Assets or improve or develop existing assets to be used in a Permitted Business; or (5) to make any combination of the foregoing payments, redemptions, repurchases, expenditures or investments; provided that in the case of subsections (2), (3), (4) or (5) of this Section 4.06(b), a binding commitment to acquire the assets of, or Equity Interests of, a Person engaged in a Permitted Business, invest in Additional Assets or to make such capital expenditures shall be treated as a permitted application of an amount of Net Available Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such amount of Net Available Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and such Net Available Proceeds are actually applied in such manner within the later of 365 days from the consummation of the Asset Sale and 180 days from the date of the Acceptable Commitment. Pending the final application of any Net Available Proceeds, the Issuer may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Available Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

(c) Any Net Available Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.06(b) will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million, the Issuer will make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Securities and if the Issuer elects (or is required by the terms of such other Pari Passu Indebtedness), all holders of other Pari Passu Indebtedness (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of Securities, in denominations of $2,000 initial principal amount and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, and such Pari Passu Indebtedness, that may be purchased with an amount equal to the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, or, in the case of Pari Passu Indebtedness represented by securities sold at a discount, not more than the amount of the accreted value thereof at such time, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. After the completion of an Asset Sale, the Issuer may make an Asset Sale Offer prior to the time it is required to do so by the first sentence of this paragraph. If the Issuer completes such an Asset Sale Offer with respect to any Net Available Proceeds, the Issuer shall be deemed to have complied with this Section 4.06 with respect to the application of such Net Available Proceeds, and any such Net Available Proceeds remaining after completion of such Asset Sale Offer will no longer be deemed Excess Proceeds and may be used by the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries for any purpose not prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Securities and other Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Securities (in accordance with the procedures of the Depository) and the Issuer or its agent will select such other Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis (subject to adjustments so that no Security in an unauthorized denomination remains outstanding after such purchase) based on the aggregate principal amount of the Securities and the other Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased validly tendered and not withdrawn. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

(d) The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-l 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 Securities pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.06, the Issuer will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.06 by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations.

SECTION 4.07. Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates. (a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its assets to, or purchase any assets from, or enter into any contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with or for the benefit of, any Affiliate involving aggregate consideration in excess of $2.5 million (an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless: (1) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could be obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s-length basis by the Issuer or that Restricted Subsidiary from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Issuer or that Restricted Subsidiary, and (2) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee (i) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction involving aggregate value expended or received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in excess of $10.0 million, an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with Section 4.07(a)(1), and either (x) a Secretary’s Certificate which sets forth and authenticates a resolution that has been adopted by the Board of Directors approving such Affiliate Transaction or (y) a written opinion or appraisal of the type described in clause (ii) of this Section 4.07(a); and (ii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction involving aggregate value expended or received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary exceeding $25.0 million, a written opinion as to the fairness of such Affiliate Transaction to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or a written appraisal supporting the value of such Affiliate Transaction, in either case, issued by an Independent Financial Advisor.

(b) The provisions of Section 4.07(a) shall not apply to (1) transactions exclusively between or among (a) the Issuer and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or (b) Restricted Subsidiaries; (2) reasonable director, officer, employee and consultant compensation (including bonuses) and other benefits (including retirement, health, stock and other benefit plans) and indemnification and insurance arrangements; (3) any Permitted Investment (other than any Permitted Investment made in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Permitted Investments”); (4) any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date or any extension, amendment, modification, restatement or renewal thereof (so long as any such extension, amendment, modification, restatement or renewal satisfies the requirements set forth in Section 4.07(a)(1)) or any transaction contemplated thereby; (5) Restricted Payments which are made in accordance with Section 4.04; (6) issuances, sales or other dispositions of Qualified Equity Interests by the Issuer to an Affiliate; (7) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, contractors, joint venture partners or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of the business of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries (including pursuant to joint venture agreements) and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture; provided that in the reasonable determination of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, such transactions are on terms that are no less favorable to the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could have been obtained at the time of such transactions in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; (8) any agreement between any Person and an Affiliate of such Person existing at the time such Person is acquired by or merged into the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such agreement was not entered into in contemplation of such acquisition or merger, and any amendment thereto, so long as any such amendment is not disadvantageous to the Holders in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, when taken as a whole, as compared to the applicable agreement as in effect on the date of such acquisition or merger; (9) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Issuer) that is an Affiliate of the Issuer solely because the Issuer owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls (including pursuant to a joint venture or shareholders agreement), such Person; and (10) transactions in the ordinary course of business with Unrestricted Subsidiaries that are primarily engaged in the mortgage origination and lending business; provided, however, that such transactions are no less favorable to the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could be obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate.

SECTION 4.08. Conduct of Business. The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any material respect in a business other than a Permitted Business.

SECTION 4.09. Change of Control. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right to require that the Issuer repurchase such Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”) plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in accordance with the terms contemplated in Section 4.09(b).

(b) No later than 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer shall mail or deliver electronically in accordance with the procedures of the Depository a notice to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee (the “Change of Control Offer”) stating:

(1) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Issuer to purchase such Holder’s Securities at the Change of Control Purchase Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date);

(2) the purchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed); and

(3) the instructions, as determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Section 4.09, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Securities purchased.

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

(d) On the purchase date, all Securities purchased by the Issuer under this Section shall be delivered by, or on behalf of, the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation, together with an Officers’ Certificate confirming the purchase and directing the Trustee to cancel such Securities, and the Issuer shall pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Paying Agent for the account of the Holders entitled thereto.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in Sections 4.09(b) and (d) and purchases all Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or if notice of redemption has been given with respect to all Notes pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Securities.

(b) Except as provided in Section 10.07, no Guarantor may consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person (other than the Issuer or another Guarantor), whether or not affiliated with such Guarantor, unless (1) either, (A) such Guarantor will be the surviving or continuing Person or (B) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Guarantor) assumes, by supplemental indenture in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the obligations of such Guarantor under the Security Guarantee of such Guarantor and this Indenture; (2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the assumption of the obligations as set forth in Section 5.01(b)(1)(B) and the

Article 6

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

(2) failure by the Issuer to pay the principal or premium on any of the Securities when it becomes due and payable, whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption, upon required purchase, upon acceleration or otherwise;

(3) failure by the Issuer or the Guarantors to comply with any of its agreements or covenants described in Section 5.01;

(4) failure by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to comply with any other agreement or covenant in this Indenture and continuance of this failure for 60 days after written notice of the failure has been given to the Issuer by the Trustee or by the Holders (with a copy to the Trustee) of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding;

(5) default under any mortgage, indenture or other instrument or agreement under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced Indebtedness (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness) of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is incurred after the Issue Date, which default (a) is caused by a failure to pay when due principal on such Indebtedness within the applicable express grace period, or (b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express final maturity, and in each case the principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with any other Indebtedness with respect to which an event described in 6.01(5)(a) or (b) has occurred and is continuing, aggregates $25.0 million or more; provided, however, that if any such default is cured or waived or any acceleration rescinded or such

Indebtedness is repaid within a period of ten (10) days from the continuation of such default beyond any applicable grace period or the occurrence of such acceleration, as the case may be, such Event of Default under this Indenture and any consequential acceleration of the Securities shall automatically be rescinded so long as such rescission does not conflict with any judgment or decree;

(6) one or more judgments or orders that exceed $25.0 million in the aggregate (net of any amounts covered by insurance issued by a creditworthy insurance company to the extent such insurer has not denied coverage therefor (other than reserving its rights) or that are bonded) for the payment of money have been entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction against the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary and such judgment or judgments have not been satisfied, stayed, annulled or rescinded within 60 days of being entered;

(7) the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the date of the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(A) commences a voluntary case;

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

(9) the Security Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of such Security Guarantee and this Indenture) or is declared null and void and unenforceable or found to be invalid or any Guarantor denies its liability under its Security Guarantee (other than by reason of release of a Guarantor from its Security Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Security Guarantee).

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

The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, or any similar federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7) or (8) with respect to the Issuer) occurs and is continuing the Trustee by written notice to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders in accordance with this Indenture shall, declare all amounts owing under the Securities to be due and payable immediately. Upon such declaration of acceleration, the aggregate principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding Securities shall immediately become due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(7) or (8) with respect to the Issuer occurs, all outstanding Securities shall become due and payable without any further action or notice. In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Securities because an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(5) has occurred and is

continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Securities shall be automatically annulled if the default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(5) shall be remedied or cured by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 30 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if (1) the annulment of the acceleration of the Securities would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Securities, have been cured or waived. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may waive all past or existing defaults (except with respect to nonpayment of principal, premium or interest) and rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Securities and its consequences if (1) such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived.

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

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

SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Defaults. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences except (a) a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on a Security (b) a Default arising from the failure to redeem or purchase any Security when required pursuant to this Indenture or (c) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Securityholder affected; provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right.

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

SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due (after giving effect to the grace period specified in Section 6.01(1)), no Securityholder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless:

(1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing;

(2) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

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

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

(5) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request during such 60-day period.

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

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

SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07.

SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Securityholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the compensation and reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any proceeding.

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

FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07;

SECOND: to Securityholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal and interest, respectively; and

THIRD: to the Issuer.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Securityholders pursuant to this Section 6.10. At least 15 days before such record date, the Issuer shall send to each Securityholder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

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

SECTION 6.12. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer (to the extent it may lawfully do so) shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit. In addition, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default except (i) any Event of Default occurring pursuant to Sections 6.01(1) and 6.01(2); provided that the Trustee is the Paying Agent for the Securities at the time of such Event of Default or (ii) any Default or Event of Default of which the Trustee shall have received written notice in the manner set forth in this Indenture or a Trust Officer shall have obtained actual knowledge.

(g) Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under Section 4.02 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants thereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officers’ Certificate).

(h) The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God; earthquakes; fire; flood; terrorism; wars and other military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions; loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communication services; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority and governmental action, it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable best efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

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

(j) Anything in this Indenture notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to loss of profit), even if the Issuer has been advised as to the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

SECTION 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Securities or the Security Guarantees, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Securities or in the Securities other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication

SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs, is continuing and is known to a Trust Officer, the Trustee shall give notice of the Default or Event of Default to each Securityholder upon the later to occur of: (a) 90 days after such Default occurs or (b) 30 days after a Trust Officer has actual knowledge of the Default. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Security (including payments pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of such Security, if any) or a Default or Event of Default in complying with Section 5.01, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice does not adversely affect the interests of the Securityholders.

SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. As promptly as practicable after each May 1 beginning with the May 1 following the date of this Indenture, and in any event prior to July 1 in each year, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder a brief report dated as of May 1 that complies with TIA § 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b). The Trustee will also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA §313(c).

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange (if any) on which the Securities are listed. The Issuer agrees to notify promptly the Trustee in writing whenever the Securities become listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof.

SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its services as may be agreed to from time to time in writing for the Trustee’s acceptance of its duties under this Indenture. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer and each Guarantor shall jointly and severally indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee, their officers, directors, employees and agents, for, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claim, liability or expense, including taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee) and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by each of them in connection with acceptance or performance of its duties under this Indenture including the reasonable costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Issuer (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder (including settlement costs). The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Issuer’s expense in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes the Trustee’s defense and, in the Trustee’s reasonable judgment, there is no conflict of interest between the Issuer and the Trustee in connection with such defense, except the reasonable fees and expenses incurred in the Trustee’s determination of the absence of a conflict of interest between the Issuer and the Trustee. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Securities.

The Issuer’s obligations pursuant to this Section 7.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction, discharge or other termination of this Indenture, including any termination or rejection hereof under any Bankruptcy Law. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(7) or (8) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Trustee if:

(1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

(2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

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

(4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the TIA, the Trustee shall either eliminate such conflict, petition the SEC to continue or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the TIA and this Indenture.

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

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Securityholders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07.

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

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

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

SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA § 310(a). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.

SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated.

Article 8

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE

SECTION 8.01. Discharge of Liability on Securities; Defeasance. (a) This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except as to rights of registration of transfer or exchange of the Securities which shall survive until all

Securities have been canceled and indemnifications which shall survive discharge and cancellation of the Securities) as to all outstanding Securities when either: (1) all the Securities that have been authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Securities which have been replaced or paid and Securities for whose payment money has been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from this trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (2) (i) all Securities not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation otherwise have become due and payable or will become due and payable within one year by reason of the sending of a notice of redemption or otherwise and the Issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee trust funds in trust for the Holders in an amount of money in cash in U.S. dollars or U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, as confirmed, certified or attested to by an Independent Financial Advisor in writing to the Trustee, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness (including all principal, premium and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption, as the case may be) on the Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, (ii) the Issuer has paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture, (iii) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Securities at maturity or on the date of redemption, as the case may be, and (iv) no Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or material instrument (other than this Indenture and any other agreement governing Pari Passu Indebtedness to which a similar and simultaneous deposit relates) to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound. In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been complied with. After such delivery and upon request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under the Securities, the Security Guarantees and this Indenture.

(b) Subject to Section 8.02, the Issuer at any time may terminate (1) all its obligations under the Securities and this Indenture (“legal defeasance option”) or (2) its obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11 and 4.12 and the operation of Sections 6.01(3), (4), (5), (6) and 6.01(9) and the limitations contained in Section 5.01(a)(3) (“covenant defeasance option”). The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option. Legal defeasance means that the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the Securities and the Security Guarantees, and this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect as to all outstanding Securities and Security Guarantees, except as to:

(1) rights of Holders to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium and interest on the Securities when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.02 hereof;

(2) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the Securities under Article 2 hereof;

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

(4) this Article 8.

In the event that the Issuer terminates all of its obligations under the Securities and this Indenture (with respect to such Securities) by exercising its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option, the obligations of each Guarantor under its Security Guarantee of such Securities shall be terminated simultaneously with the termination of such obligations.

If the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto. If the Issuer exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(3), (4), (5), (6) and 6.01(9).

Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Issuer terminates.

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

(1) the Issuer irrevocably deposits with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient (without reinvestment) as confirmed, certified or attested to by an Independent Financial Advisor in writing to the Trustee to pay the principal of, premium and interest on the Securities on the stated date for payment or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, of the principal or installment of principal of, premium or interest on the Securities;

(2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an opinion of counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (a) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by the Internal Revenue Service, a ruling, or (b) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon this opinion of counsel shall confirm that, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an opinion of counsel in the United States confirming that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(4) (x) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or will occur as a result of such deposit (other than a Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) and (y) the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or material instrument (other than this Indenture and any other agreement governing Pari Passu Indebtedness to which a similar and simultaneous deposit relates) to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound;

(5) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by it with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other of its creditors or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other of its creditors or others;

(6) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the conditions provided for in, in the case of the Officers’ Certificate, Section 8.02(1) through (6) and, in the case of the Opinion of Counsel, Section 8.02(2) and/or (3) and (4)(y) have been complied with; and

(7) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Securities at maturity or on the date of redemption, as the case may be (which instructions may be contained in the Officers’ Certificate referred to in Section 8.02(5) or (6)).

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

SECTION 8.03. Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article 8. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U. S. Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities so discharged or defeased.

SECTION 8.04. Repayment to Issuer. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Issuer upon request any excess money or securities held by them at any time.

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Securityholders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors.

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

SECTION 8.06. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s and each Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, each Security Guarantee and the Securities so discharged or defeased shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 8 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8; provided, however, that, if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of or interest on any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Article 9

AMENDMENTS

SECTION 9.01. Without Consent of Holders. The Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend this Indenture, the Security Guarantees or the Securities without notice to or consent of any Securityholder:

(1) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency;

(2) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities, provided that the uncertificated Securities are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code;

(3) to provide for the assumption by a successor entity of the obligations of the Issuer or any Guarantor in accordance with Section 5.01;

(4) to add any Guarantor with respect to the Securities, or to release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Security Guarantee or this Indenture, in each case, in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture;

(5) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits (including the addition of collateral for the purpose of securing the Securities and the Security Guarantees) to the Holders of Securities or that does not adversely affect in any material respect the legal rights under this Indenture, the Securities or the Security Guarantees of any such Holder;

(6) to comply with applicable SEC rules and regulations or changes to applicable law;

(7) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Security Guarantees or the Securities to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Final Offering Memorandum;

(10) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture or a Security Guarantee with respect to the Securities; or

(11) to comply with the rules of any applicable securities depository.

After an amendment under this Section becomes effective, the Issuer shall send to Securityholders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Securityholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section

SECTION 9.02. With Consent of Holders. The Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend this Indenture, the Securities or the Security Guarantees with the written consent (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Securities) of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding (including without limitation, Additional Securities, if any) voting as a single class, and any existing Default under, or compliance with any provision of, this Indenture may be waived (other than any continuing Default in the payment of the principal or interest on the Securities, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) with the consent (which may include consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer of the Securities) of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding (including, without limitation, Additional Securities, if any) voting as a single class. However, without the consent of each Securityholder affected thereby, an amendment or waiver may not (with respect to the Securities held by a non-consenting Holder):

(1) change the Stated Maturity of any Security;

(2) reduce the amount, extend the due date or otherwise affect the terms of any scheduled payment of interest on or principal of the Securities;

(3) reduce any premium payable upon the redemption of the Securities, change the date on which any Securities are subject to redemption or otherwise alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Securities set forth in Article 3 of this Indenture (other than provisions specifying the notice periods for effecting a redemption);

(4) amend, change or modify in any material respect the obligation of the Issuer to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer or an Asset Sale Offer after such Change of Control has occurred or the obligation to make such Asset Sale Offer has arisen, respectively;

(5) make any Security payable in money or currency other than that stated in the Securities;

(6) reduce the principal amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver to this Indenture or the Securities;

(7) impair the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of, premium or interest on the Securities or to institute suit for the enforcement thereof;

(8) modify the Security Guarantees in any manner adverse to the Holders, or release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Security Guarantee or this Indenture, except a release in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or

(9) waive a Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities (except a rescission of acceleration of the Securities by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities with respect to a nonpayment default and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration as set forth in Section 6.02); or

(10) make any change in this Section 9.02.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

SECTION 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment to this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

SECTION 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Security shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Security or portion of the Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Securityholder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms.

The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Securityholders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described in this Article 9 or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Securityholders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date.

SECTION 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Security shall not affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

SECTION 9.06. Trustee To Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not sign it. In signing any amendment the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

Article 10

GUARANTEES

SECTION 10.01. Guarantees. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Securities when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Securities and (b) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Securities (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from such Guarantor and that such Guarantor will remain bound under this Article 10 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Securities or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (1) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuer or any other Person (including any Guarantor) under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement or otherwise; (2) any extension or renewal of this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement; (3) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement; (4) the release of any security, if any, held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (5) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (6) except as set forth in Section 10.07, any change in the ownership of such Guarantor.

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

Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.01(b), 10.02 and 10.07, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing the obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.01(b), 10.02 and 10.07, each Guarantor further agrees that its Security Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise.

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

Each Guarantor agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of such Guarantor’s Security Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section.

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

SECTION 10.02. Limitation on Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of the Securities, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Security Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Security Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that, any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

SECTION 10.03. Successors and Assigns. This Article 10 shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Securities shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

SECTION 10.04. No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 10 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 10 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

SECTION 10.05. Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article 10, nor the consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Indenture and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

SECTION 10.06. Execution and Delivery of Security Guarantee.

To evidence its Security Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Security Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto will be endorsed by manual or facsimile signature of an Officer of such Guarantor on Securities authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Security Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on such Security a notation of such Security Guarantee.

If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Security Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Securities on which a Security Guarantee is endorsed, the Security Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.

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

In the event that (1) any Restricted Subsidiary guarantees Indebtedness for borrowed money of the Issuer or any Guarantor, or (2) the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary creates or acquires any Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary (other than an Immaterial Subsidiary) after the date of this Indenture, then, in each case if required by Section 4.12 hereof, the Issuer will cause such Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.12 hereof and this Article 10, to the extent applicable.

SECTION 10.07. Release of Guarantor. A Guarantor will be released from its Security Guarantee and all other obligations under this Article 10 (other than any obligation that may have arisen under Section 10.08) and discharged:

(1) upon any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, exchange or other disposition (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of Equity Interests of such Guarantor after which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary, which sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, exchange or other disposition does not constitute an Asset Sale or is made in compliance with Section 4.06(a);

(2) upon any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, exchange or other disposition (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor to a Person, which sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, exchange or other disposition does not constitute an Asset Sale or is made in compliance with Section 4.06(a); provided, that after such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, exchange or other disposition, such Guarantor is an Immaterial Subsidiary;

(3) unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the release or discharge of such Guarantor from its guarantee of any Indebtedness for borrowed money of the Issuer and the Guarantors so long as such Guarantor would not then otherwise be required to provide a Security Guarantee pursuant to this Indenture; provided that if such Guarantor has incurred any Indebtedness in reliance on its status as a Guarantor under Section 4.03, such Guarantor’s obligations under such Indebtedness, as the case may be, so incurred are satisfied in full and discharged or are otherwise permitted to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Guarantor) under Section 4.03;

(4) upon the designation of such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(5) if the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option, or if the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Indenture are discharged pursuant to Section 8.01, upon such exercise or discharge; or

(6) in connection with the dissolution of such Guarantor under applicable law in accordance with this Indenture.

At the request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver such instrument reasonably requested by the Issuer evidencing such release.

SECTION 10.08. Contribution. Without limiting any provisions of this Article 10, each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Security Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

The Issuer, any Guarantor or the Trustee by notice to the other may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.

Any notice or communication mailed to a Securityholder shall be mailed to the Securityholder at the Securityholder’s address as it appears on the registration books of the Registrar and shall be sufficiently given if so mailed within the time prescribed. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, any Security or Security Guarantee, where this Indenture, any Security or Security Guarantee provides for notice of any event (including any notice of redemption) to a Holder of a Global Security (whether by mail or otherwise), such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depository (or its designee), pursuant to the customary procedures of the Depository.

Failure to send a notice or communication to a Securityholder or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Securityholders. Other than notices to the Trustee, if a notice or communication is mailed in the manner provided in this Section 11.02, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it.

SECTION 11.03. Communication by Holders with Other Holders. Securityholders may communicate pursuant to TIA § 312(b) with other Securityholders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Securities. The Issuer, any Guarantor, the Trustee, the Registrar and anyone else shall have the protection of TIA § 312(c).

SECTION 11.04. Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent. Upon any request or application by the Issuer to the Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action under this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee:

(1) an Officers’ Certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee stating that, in the opinion of the signers, all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with; and

(2) an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent have been complied with.

SECTION 11.05. Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion. Each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a covenant or condition provided for in this Indenture shall include:

(1) a statement that the individual making such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition;

(2) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

(3) a statement that, in the opinion of such individual, he has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

(4) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such individual, such covenant or condition has been complied with.

SECTION 11.06. When Securities Disregarded. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Issuer or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which a Trust Officer actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. In connection with any such direction, waiver or consent, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate listing and identifying all Securities, if any, known by the Issuer to be owned by or for the account of any of the above-described Persons. Also, subject to the foregoing, only Securities outstanding at the time shall be considered in any such determination.

SECTION 11.07. Rules by Trustee, Paying Agent and Registrar. The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of Securityholders. The Registrar and the Paying Agent may make reasonable rules for their functions.

SECTION 11.08. Legal Holidays. If a payment date is a Legal Holiday, payment shall be made on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period. If a regular record date is a Legal Holiday, the record date shall not be affected.

SECTION 11.09. Governing Law. This Indenture, the Security Guarantees and the Securities shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to applicable conflicts of law principles to the extent that the laws of another jurisdiction would be applied thereby.

SECTION 11.10. No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Issuer or any Guarantor shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer under the Securities or this Indenture or of any Guarantor

under its Security Guarantee or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security, each Securityholder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities and the Security Guarantees.

SECTION 11.11. Successors. All agreements of the Issuer in this Indenture and the Securities shall bind its successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors.

SECTION 11.12. Multiple Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. One signed copy is enough to prove this Indenture. The exchange of copies of this Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or PDF transmissions shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Indenture for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or PDF shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

SECTION 11.13. Severability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act, the Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account. The parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Trustee with such information as it may request to satisfy the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act.

(g) No Obligation of the Trustee.

(i) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Security, a member of, or a participant in the Depository or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depository or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Securities or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depository) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Securities.

WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of May 12, 2017 providing for the issuance of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Securities”);

WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s Obligations under the Securities and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Security Guarantee”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Company and the Trustee are authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture without the consent of Holders.
