If since the beginning of such period any Person (that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period) shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation or disposed operation that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation or disposed operation had occurred at the beginning of the reference period.

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company. Any such pro forma calculation may include, without duplication, adjustments appropriate to reflect (1) operating expense reductions and other operating improvements or synergies reasonably expected to result from the applicable event and (2) all adjustments of the nature used in connection with the calculation of “Adjusted EBITDA” as set forth in the Offering Memorandum to the extent such adjustments, without duplication, continue to be applicable to the reference period.

If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Financing Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company to be the rate of interest implicit in such Financing Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Company may designate.

Any such certificate or opinion may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Company stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

SECTION 105. Acts of Holders. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section 105.

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

The principal amount and serial numbers of Notes held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the Note Register.

-36-

If the Company shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Such record date shall be a date not earlier than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in connection therewith and not later than the date such solicitation is completed. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Notes have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Notes shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than eleven months after the record date. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Company or any Guarantor in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Note may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents, each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount. Any notice given or action taken by a Holder or its agents with regard to different parts of such principal amount pursuant to this paragraph shall have the same effect as if given or taken by separate Holders of each such different part.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Holder, including the Depository that is the Holder of a Global Note, may make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders, and the Depository that is the Holder of a Global Note may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of interests in any such Global Note through such depositary’s standing instructions and customary practices.

The Company may fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons who are beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note held by the Depository entitled under the procedures of such depositary to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders.

SECTION 106. Notices, Etc., to Trustee, Company and Any Guarantor. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

(1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company or any Guarantor shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing (which may be via facsimile, .pdf transmission or other electronic means) to or with the Trustee at U.S. Bank National Association, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attn: Global Corporate Trust Services, or

(2) the Company or any Guarantor by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if made, given, furnished or delivered in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or delivered by recognized overnight courier, to the Company or such Guarantor addressed to it at Aleris International, Inc., ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: General Counsel, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company or such Guarantor.

SECTION 107. Notice to Holders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to Holders by the Company or the Trustee, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and either (1) mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his

-37-

address as it appears in the Note Register, within the time prescribed for the giving of such notice or (2) in the case of Notes held through the Depository, sent or transmitted to Holders in any manner that is in accordance with the procedures of the Depository. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Notices given by publication or electronic delivery shall be deemed given on the first date on which publication or electronic delivery is made and notices given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, shall be deemed given five calendar days after mailing.

In case by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to mail notice of any event to Holders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice for every purpose hereunder.

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be sent or transmitted to Holders in any manner that is in accordance with the procedures of the Depository and shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice for every purpose hereunder.

SECTION 108. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience of reference only, are not intended to be considered a part hereof and shall in no way affect the construction of, or modify or restrict, any of the terms or provisions hereof.

SECTION 109. Successors and Assigns. All agreements of the Company in this Indenture and the Notes shall bind its successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors. All agreements of each Guarantor in this Indenture shall bind its successors, except as otherwise provided in Section 1208 hereof.

SECTION 110. Separability Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

SECTION 111. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes or in any other Notes Document, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any Paying Agent, any Note Registrar and their successors hereunder and the Holders any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

SECTION 112. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Indenture, the Notes and any Notes Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

(b) EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE GUARANTORS, THE TRUSTEE, THE COLLATERAL AGENT, THE PAYING AGENT, AND THE NOTE REGISTRAR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES, THE NOTES GUARANTEES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

SECTION 113. Legal Holidays. In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity or Maturity of any Note shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Notes) payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity or Maturity; provided that no interest shall accrue for purposes of such payment for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the case may be.

-38-

SECTION 114. No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor (other than in the case of stockholders of any Guarantor, the Company or another Guarantor) or any of their parent companies shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Notes Guarantees and this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes and the Notes Guarantees.

SECTION 115. Limited Condition Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Notes Document, in connection with any action required to be taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of: (i) calculating the Consolidated Priority Secured Debt Ratio, Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio, Consolidated Total Debt Ratio, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and other financial calculations; (ii) determining compliance with Defaults or Events of Defaults; or (iii) testing availability under covenant baskets set forth in this Indenture (including covenant baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated Total Assets), in each case, at the option of the Company (the Company’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions required to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent test period ending prior to the LCT Test Date, the Company could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket, such ratio, test or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with; provided that availability under any ratio and the determination of whether the relevant condition is satisfied may in any event be recalculated, at the option of the Company, on the closing date of the Limited Condition Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in EBITDA of the Company or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If the Company has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any calculation of any ratio, test or basket availability with respect to any transaction required to be entered into in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining whether any such required transaction is permitted under this Indenture or any other Notes Document, any such ratio, test or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated. If the Company has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any calculation of any other ratio, test or basket availability with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, the making of Restricted Payments (subject to the proviso at the end of this sentence), the making of any Permitted Investment, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction of Indebtedness, or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, in each case, not required to be entered into in connection with the applicable Limited Condition Transaction (a “Subsequent Transaction”) following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (x) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (y) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction (or the date on which the Company demonstrates to the Trustee that it has elected not to pursue such Limited Condition Transaction), for purposes of determining whether such Subsequent Transaction is permitted under this Indenture, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required to be satisfied on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions required to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated; provided, in the case of Restricted Payments (other than Investments) such ratio tests and baskets will be tested both as if such transaction had been consummated and as if such transaction had not been consummated.

SECTION 116. Counterparts. This Indenture and any other Notes Document may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be original; but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. One signed copy is enough to prove this Indenture. The exchange of copies of this Indenture and any other Notes Document and of signature pages by facsimile, .pdf transmission or other electronic means shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Indenture and any other Notes Document for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or .pdf transmission or other electronic means shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

ARTICLE TWO

The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Company is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company). Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Note set forth in the Appendix are part of the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 202. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any Officer. The signature of an Officer on the Notes may be manual or via facsimile, .pdf transmission or other electronic means of the present or any future such authorized officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Notes.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Notes.

On the Issue Date, the Company shall deliver the Initial Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000,000 executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order directing the Trustee to authenticate the Notes and certifying that all conditions precedent to the issuance of Notes contained herein have been fully complied with, and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Initial Notes. At any time and from time to time after the Issue Date, the Company may deliver Additional Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Additional Notes, directing the Trustee to authenticate the Additional Notes and certifying that the issuance of such Additional Notes is in compliance with Article Ten hereof and that all other conditions precedent to the issuance of Notes contained herein have been fully complied with, and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Additional Notes.

-40-

In case the Company, pursuant to Article Eight of this Indenture, shall, in one or more related transactions, be consolidated or merged with or into any other Person or shall convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, and the successor Person resulting from such consolidation, or surviving such merger, or into which the Company shall have been merged, or the Person which shall have received a conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition as aforesaid, shall have executed a supplemental indenture hereto with the Trustee and assumed all of the obligations of the Company under the Notes and this Indenture pursuant to Article Eight of this Indenture, any of the Notes authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition may, from time to time, at the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Notes executed in the name of the successor Person with such changes in phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Notes surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon Company Request of the successor Person, shall authenticate and deliver Notes as specified in such request for the purpose of such exchange. If Notes shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person pursuant to this Section 202 in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Notes, such successor Person, at the option of the Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Notes at the time outstanding for Notes authenticated and delivered in such new name.

ARTICLE THREE

THE NOTES

SECTION 301. Title and Terms. The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and issued under this Indenture is not limited; provided, however that any Additional Notes issued under this Indenture rank pari passu with the Initial Notes, are issued in accordance with Sections 202, 312, 1011 and 1012 hereof, form a single class with the Initial Notes and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Initial Notes (except that any series of Notes that is not fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. Federal income tax purposes may be treated for purposes of the provisions of this Indenture relating to transfer and exchange as a separate class that does not trade fungibly with Notes that have differing treatment under U.S. Federal income tax law and will be assigned a different CUSIP or other identification number). Any Additional Notes shall be issued pursuant to a supplemental indenture to this Indenture.

The Notes shall be known and designated as the “10.750% Senior Secured Junior Priority Notes due 2023” of the Company. The Stated Maturity of the Notes shall be July 15, 2023. The Notes shall bear interest at the rate set forth below from June 25, 2018, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. Interest on the Notes is payable on January 15, 2019 and semi-annually thereafter on January 15 and July 15 in each year and at said Stated Maturity, until the principal thereof is paid or duly provided for and to the Person in whose name the Note (or any Predecessor Note) is registered at the close of business on the January 1 and July 1 immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date (each, a “Regular Record Date”).

The principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in the City of New York or, at the option of the Company, payments of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the Notes at their respective addresses set forth in the Note Register of Holders; provided that all payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, with respect to Notes represented by one or more global notes registered in the name of or held by the Depository or its nominee shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holder or Holders thereof.

Holders shall have the right to require the Company to purchase their Notes, in whole or in part, in the event of a Change of Control pursuant to Section 1017. The Notes shall be subject to repurchase pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer as provided in Section 1018 and a Loss Proceeds Offer as provided in Section 1020.

The Notes shall be redeemable as provided in Article Eleven of this Indenture and Paragraph 6 of the Notes.

The due and punctual payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes payable by the Company is irrevocably unconditionally guaranteed, to the extent set forth herein, by each of the Guarantors.

-41-

SECTION 302. Denominations. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

SECTION 303. Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of definitive Notes, the Company may execute, and upon receipt of a Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

If temporary Notes are issued, the Company shall cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes.

SECTION 304. Note Registrar; Paying Agent; Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency designated pursuant to Section 1002 being herein sometimes referred to as the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. The Note Register shall be in written form or any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times, the Note Register shall be open to inspection by the Trustee. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as note registrar (the “Note Registrar”) for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed to act as the Paying Agent and to act as Notes Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 1002, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount.

At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

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

Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Note Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by written instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company and the Note Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any taxes, fees or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 202, 303, 906, 1017, 1018, 1020 or 1108 not involving any transfer.

SECTION 305. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. If (1) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or (2) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be

-42-

required to protect the Company, the Trustee, any agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a Protected Purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the UCC) (a “Protected Purchaser”), the Company shall execute and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Note or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 305, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) in replacing a Note.

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 305 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company and each Guarantor, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 305 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

SECTION 306. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

(a) Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002; provided, however, that, subject to Section 301 hereof, each installment of interest may at the Company’s option be paid by (1) mailing a check for such interest, payable to or upon the written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 307, to the address of such Person as it appears in the Note Register or (2) transfer to an account located in the United States maintained by the payee.

(b) Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such defaulted interest and (to the extent lawful) interest on such defaulted interest at the rate borne by the Notes (such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein collectively called “Defaulted Interest”) may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date, and in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given in the manner provided for in Section 107, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

-43-

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

(c) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 306, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

SECTION 307. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to the due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 306) interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 308. Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. If the Company shall so acquire any of the Notes, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section 308, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act). Certification of the destruction of all cancelled Notes shall be delivered to the Company by the Trustee. The Trustee shall maintain a record of all cancelled Notes. The Trustee shall provide the Company a list of all Notes that have been cancelled from time to time as requested by the Company.

SECTION 309. Computation of Interest. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

SECTION 310. Transfer and Exchange. The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer. When a Note is presented to the Note Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Note Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of this Indenture and Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met. When Notes are presented to the Note Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations, the Note Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met.

The Company shall not be required, and without the prior written consent of the Company, the Note Registrar shall not be required, to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note (i) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before sending a notice of redemption of Notes and ending at the close of business on the day such notice is sent, (ii) selected for redemption in whole or in part, (iii) that has been tendered in a Change of Control Offer or (iv) beginning at the opening of business on any record date and ending on the close of business on the related Interest Payment Date.

SECTION 311. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (in each case, if then generally in use) in addition to serial numbers, and, if so, the Trustee shall use such “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in addition to serial numbers in

-44-

notices of redemption, repurchase or other notices to Holders as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption or repurchase and that reliance may be placed only on the serial or other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or repurchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers applicable to the Notes.

SECTION 312. Issuance of Additional Notes. The Company may, subject to Sections 1011 and 1012 of this Indenture, issue additional Notes having identical terms and conditions to the Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date, other than with respect to the date of issuance, the issue price and the date from which interest first begins to accrue (the “Additional Notes”). The Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes subsequently issued shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture (except that any series of Notes that is not fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. Federal income tax purposes may be treated for purposes of the provisions of this Indenture relating to transfer and exchange as a separate class that does not trade fungibly with Notes that have differing treatment under U.S. Federal income tax law and will be assigned a different CUSIP or other identification number).

Notwithstanding anything else herein, with respect to any Additional Notes issued subsequent to the date of this Indenture, when the context requires, all provisions of this Indenture, subject to Sections 1011 and 1012 of this Indenture, shall be construed and interpreted to permit the issuance of such Additional Notes and to allow such Additional Notes to become fungible and interchangeable with the Initial Notes originally issued under this Indenture.

ARTICLE FOUR

SECTION 401. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture shall upon Company Request and at the Company’s expense cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued hereunder and then Outstanding, and all Liens on the Collateral granted under the Security Documents shall be automatically released (except as set forth in the last paragraph of this Section and as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Notes expressly provided for herein or pursuant hereto), and the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture when:

(1) either:

(A) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 305 and (ii) Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust with the Trustee or any Paying Agent or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 1003) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(B) all such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation:

(i) have become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption pursuant to Section 1106 or otherwise, or

(ii) shall become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or

(iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company,

-45-

and the Company or any Guarantor, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) of this subclause (B), has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as shall be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

(2) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and the granting of Liens in connection therewith) with respect to this Indenture or the Notes issued hereunder shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any Credit Facility, the 6% Senior Subordinated Debt Documents, the 6% Senior Subordinated Exchangeable Notes or any other material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;

(3) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture and the Company and the Guarantors have paid or caused to be paid all sums payable to the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent under the Security Documents;

(4) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of such Notes at Maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be; and

(5) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been satisfied.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money or Government Securities shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section 401, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. In addition, nothing in this Section 401 shall be deemed to discharge the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors to the Trustee under Section 607, the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors to the Collateral Agent under Section 1502(a) and the obligations of the Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 612 that, in each case, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

SECTION 402. Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money or Government Securities deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money or Government Securities has been deposited with the Trustee, but such money or Government Securities need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 401 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 401 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 401; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

(A) such default either:

(i) results from the failure to pay any principal of such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods); or

SECTION 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

(a) If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(6) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes issued under this Indenture may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary Obligations on all the Outstanding Notes issued under this Indenture to be due and payable immediately by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent if given by the Holders).

-48-

(b) Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Section 501(6) with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, then the principal amount of all Outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any notice, declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

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

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

(A) all overdue interest on all Outstanding Notes,

(B) all unpaid principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Outstanding Notes which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, and interest on such unpaid principal at the rate borne by the Notes,

(C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue interest at the rate borne by the Notes, and

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

(2) Events of Default, other than the non-payment of amounts of principal of (or premium, if any, on) or interest on Notes which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513.

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

(d) Notwithstanding the preceding clause (c), in the event of any Event of Default specified in Section 501(4) above, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if, within 30 days after such Event of Default arose,

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

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

(3) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured.

SECTION 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums due hereunder pursuant to this Article Five and unpaid, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. The Trustee may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company, any Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company, any Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.

-49-

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders under this Indenture and the Notes Guarantees by the judicial proceedings discussed above as the Trustee shall deem necessary to protect and enforce any such rights, including seeking recourse against any Guarantor.

SECTION 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor, including any Guarantor, upon the Notes or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal, premium, if any, or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

(1) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

(2) to collect, receive and distribute any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

SECTION 506. Application of Money Collected. Subject to the terms of the Security Documents, any money or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article Five, together with any amounts received from the Collateral Agent, shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, and their agents and attorneys, under Section 607, whether arising under this Indenture or the Security Documents;

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

-50-

THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Company or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct in writing; provided that all sums due and owing to the Holders, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee have been paid in full as required by this Indenture and the Security Documents.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 506.

SECTION 507. Limitation on Suits. Subject to Section 508 and compliance with the Intercreditor Agreements and any other intercreditor agreement entered into in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, no Holder of any Notes shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

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

(2) Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee and the Collateral Agent to pursue the remedy;

(3) such Holders have offered the Trustee and the Collateral Agent reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense;

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

(5) Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee or the Collateral Agent a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period,

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Notes Guarantees to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Notes Guarantees, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders (it being further understood that the Trustee and the Collateral Agent do not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).

SECTION 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment, as provided herein (including, if applicable, Article Eleven) and in such Note of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 306) interest on such Note on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Note (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date), and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Notes Guarantees and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee, to the Collateral Agent or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, any Guarantor, any other obligor of the Notes, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

-51-

SECTION 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in the last paragraph of Section 305, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article Five or by law to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or by the Holders, as the case may be.

SECTION 512. Control by Holders. Subject to the terms of the Security Documents and the terms of Article Six and Article Fifteen hereof, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee or the Collateral Agent; provided that:

(1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or with the Security Documents; and

(2) the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, which is not inconsistent with such direction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and notwithstanding the terms of the Security Documents, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent need take any action which might involve it in personal liability or which would be unduly prejudicial to the Holders not consenting as set forth above.

Without such direction, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent will be obligated to act upon directions purported to be delivered to it by any other Person, to foreclose upon or otherwise enforce any Lien or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any or all of the Security Documents, the Lien created thereby or the Collateral.

SECTION 513. Waiver of Default. Subject to Sections 508 and 902, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all such Notes waive any Default hereunder and its consequences, except a continuing Default or Event of Default (1) in respect of the payment of interest on, premium, if any, or the principal of any such Note held by a non-consenting Holder or (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected.

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

SECTION 514. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. Each of the Company, the Guarantors and any other obligor on the Notes covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it 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 that would prohibit or forgive the Company or a Guarantor from paying any portion of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes.

-52-

SECTION 515. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee or the Collateral Agent for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee or as a Collateral Agent, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 515 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by the Collateral Agent, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 508 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

ARTICLE SIX

THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 601. Duties of the Trustee.

(a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default,

(1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(2) in the absence of bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions specifically required by any provision hereof to be provided to it, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture, but not to verify the contents thereof.

(b) Subject to the protections of Article Six and Article Fifteen hereof (including, but not limited to, the provision of indemnity or security as set forth in Section 603(5)), if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing of which written notice of such Event of Default or failure to make such payment shall have been given to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, by the Company, any other obligor of the Notes or by any Holder, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and the Trustee shall use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.

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

(1) this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to limit the effect of paragraph (a) of this Section;

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

(3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the requisite Holders or Secured Parties as set forth in this Indenture or the applicable Security Document;

(4) the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture or the Security Documents unless the Trustee has been offered security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or exposure; and

-57-

and eligible under this Article Six, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes. In case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee. In all such cases such certificates shall have the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

SECTION 612. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. At any time when any of the Notes remain Outstanding, the Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent or agents with respect to the Notes which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Notes (an “Authenticating Agent”) and the Trustee shall give written notice of such appointment to all Holders of Notes with respect to which such Authenticating Agent shall serve, in the manner provided for in Section 107. Notes so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, and a copy of such instrument shall be promptly furnished to the Company. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Notes by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 612, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 612, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 612.

Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent; provided that such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section 612, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 612, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give written notice of such appointment to all Holders of Notes, in the manner provided for in Section 107. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 612.

The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time such compensation for its services under this Section 612 as shall be agreed in writing between the Company and such Authenticating Agent.

If an appointment is made pursuant to this Section 612, the Notes may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form:

The Company shall cause each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 1003, that such Paying Agent shall:

(1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Notes in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

-68-

when not otherwise filing such reports with the SEC, posted such reports on IntraLinks or any comparable password protected online data system requiring user identification and a confidentiality acknowledgment; provided that in all cases the Company shall make such information available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request. For purposes of this Section 1009, the term “Company Website” means the collection of web pages that may be accessed on the World Wide Web using the URL address ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ or such other address as the Company may from time to time designate in writing to the Trustee. In addition, the Company has agreed that, for so long as any Notes remain Outstanding, it shall furnish to the Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

(1) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for the period (taken as one accounting period) from the Issue Date to the end of the Company’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment, or, in the case such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit, plus

(3) with respect to Indebtedness incurred under a Credit Facility, reborrowings of amounts previously repaid pursuant to “cash sweep” provisions or any similar provisions under such Credit Facility that provide that Indebtedness is deemed to be repaid daily (or otherwise periodically) shall only be deemed for purposes of Section 1011 to have been incurred on the date such Indebtedness was first incurred and not on the date of any subsequent reborrowing thereof; and

(4) any Credit Facility incurred under clause (1) of Section 1011(b) may be refinanced at any time if such refinancing does not exceed the greater of (i) the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to such clause (1) of Section 1011(b) and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Credit Facility being refinanced (together with any premiums or fees associated with such refinancing) and (A) in the case of a refinancing of Indebtedness outstanding under the ABL Facility on the Issue Date, such refinancing shall be treated for all purposes as incurred under such clause (1)(x) of Section 1011(b) and (B) in the case of a refinancing of Indebtedness outstanding under the Term Loan Facility on the Issue Date, such refinancing shall be treated for all purposes as incurred under clause (1)(y)(i) of Section 1011(b).

(d) The accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 1011.

(e) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or incurred (as determined by the Company), in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to extend, replace, refund, refinance, renew or defease other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being extended, replaced, refunded, refinanced, renewed or defeased.

-80-

(f) The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to extend, replace, refund, refinance, renew or defease other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being extended, replaced, refunded, refinanced, renewed or defeased, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance.

SECTION 1012. Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of the Subsidiary Guarantors to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien that secures obligations under any Indebtedness on the Collateral except Permitted Liens. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company will not, and will not permit any of the Subsidiary Guarantors to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien that secures obligations under any Indebtedness on any asset or property of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor that does not constitute Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, unless:

(a) such Lien is a Permitted Lien; or

(b) (1) in the case of any Lien securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the Notes or the applicable Notes Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, are secured by a Lien on such property or assets that is senior in priority to such Lien and

(2) in all other cases, the Notes or the applicable Notes Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, are secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) the obligations secured by such Lien;

provided that any Lien which is granted to secure the Notes or a Notes Guarantee under this sentence shall be discharged at the same time as the discharge of the Lien (other than through the exercise of remedies with respect thereto) that gave rise to the obligation to so secure the Notes or a Notes Guarantee.

SECTION 1013. Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $10.0 million, unless:

Issue Date, any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are not materially more restrictive with respect to such encumbrances and other restrictions than those contained in such contracts, instruments or obligations as in effect on the Issue Date.

(c) Within 365 days after any of the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt of the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale of assets that do not constitute Collateral, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may, at its option, apply the Net Proceeds in excess of the Minimum Cash Consideration from such Asset Sale of assets that do not constitute Collateral:

(1) to permanently reduce:

(x) Obligations under the ABL Facility, the Term Loan Facility, other First-Priority Obligations, the Notes, Other Second-Priority Obligations and/or other secured Senior Indebtedness, in each case, of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and, in the case of Obligations under revolving credit facilities or other similar Indebtedness, to correspondingly permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto (other than Obligations owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary); provided that if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall so reduce Obligations under any Other Second-Priority Obligations, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary will either (x) equally and ratably, reduce Obligations under the Notes by, at its option, (A) redeeming Notes as provided under Section 1101 or (B) purchasing Notes through open market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at a price equal to or higher than 100% of the principal amount thereof) in a manner that complies with this Indenture and applicable securities law or (y) make an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1018) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued and unpaid interest, on the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased; or

(y) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary; or

(2) to make an investment in (A) any one or more businesses; provided that such investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (B) properties, (C) capital expenditures and (D) acquisitions of other assets, that in each of subclause (A), (B), (C) and (D) of this clause (2), are used or useful in a Similar Business or replace the businesses, properties and assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale; or

(3) any combination of the foregoing.

Within 35 days after the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt of the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale of assets that do not constitute Collateral, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall apply the Net Proceeds up to the Minimum Cash Consideration from such Asset Sale of assets that do not constitute Collateral in accordance with clause (1) of the immediately preceding paragraph.

-89-

(d) Any Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale that are not invested or applied in accordance with the preceding clauses (b) and (c) within 365 days or 35 days, as applicable, from the date of the receipt of such Net Proceeds shall be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds”; provided that if during such 365-day period the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary enters into a definitive binding agreement committing it to apply such Net Proceeds in excess of the Minimum Cash Consideration to the making of investments set forth in Section 1018(b)(3) or (c)(2), as applicable, after such 365th day, such 365-day period shall be extended with respect to the amount of Net Proceeds so committed until such Net Proceeds are required to be applied in accordance with such agreement (but such extension shall in no event be for a period longer than 180 days) (or, if earlier, the date of termination of such agreement). When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $35.0 million, the Company shall make an offer to all Holders and, if required by the terms of any Other Second-Priority Obligations, to the holders of such Other Second-Priority Obligations (other than with respect to Hedging Obligations) (an “Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes and such Other Second-Priority Obligations that is in an amount equal to at least $2,000 that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or, in the event such Other Second-Priority Obligations were issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. The Company shall commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed $35.0 million by mailing or electronically sending the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. The Company may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Net Proceeds prior to the expiration of the relevant 365 day-period (or such longer period provided above) or 35 day period, as applicable, or with respect to Excess Proceeds of $35.0 million or less. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and such Other Second-Priority Obligations tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes (including for the avoidance of doubt pursuant to Section 1010, if available), subject to the other covenants contained in this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and/or the Other Second-Priority Obligations surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Company shall select or cause to be selected the Notes and such Other Second-Priority Obligations to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on, at the election of the Company, the accreted value or principal amount of the Notes or such Other Second-Priority Obligations tendered. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds related to such Asset Sale Offer shall be reset at zero, and in the case of an Asset Sale Offer being effected in advance of being required to do so by this Indenture, the amount of Net Proceeds the Company is offering to apply in such Asset Sale Offer shall be excluded in subsequent calculations of Excess Proceeds.

(e) Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds of Non-ABL Priority Collateral pursuant to Section 1018(b) and in a manner that is otherwise permitted by this Indenture, when the amount of such Net Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary will deposit such Net Proceeds into the Collateral Account; provided that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default, all such Net Proceeds shall be deposited into and remain in the Collateral Account pending final application of any Net Proceeds of Non-ABL Priority Collateral pursuant to Section 1018(b) and in a manner that is otherwise permitted by this Indenture. Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 1018(c), the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

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

(g) If the Company is repurchasing less than all of the Notes at any time, the Company shall select the Notes to be repurchased (a) if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which such Notes are listed or (b) if such Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable; provided that no Notes of $2,000 or less shall be repurchased in part.

(h) Within 30 days after the Company becomes obligated to make an Asset Sale Offer, the Company shall send notice of that Asset Sale Offer electronically or by first class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder to the address of that Holder appearing in the security register of Holders, or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the Depository with a copy to the Trustee, with the following information:

(1) an Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 1018, the total amount of the Asset Sale Offer, and that all Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall be accepted for payment, subject to prorating if the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered is greater than the amount of the Asset Sale Offer, as contemplated by Sections 1018(d) and (g);

(2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered (the “Asset Sale Payment Date”);

(3) any Note not properly tendered shall remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest;

(4) unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Asset Sale Offer, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall cease to accrue interest on the Asset Sale Payment Date;

(5) Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer shall be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Notes completed, to the paying agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Asset Sale Payment Date;

(i) While the Notes are in global form and the Company makes an Asset Sale Offer, a Holder may exercise its option to elect for the purchase of the Notes through the facilities of DTC, subject to its rules and regulations.

(j) On the Asset Sale Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law,

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer,

(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate payment of the Asset Sale Offer, and

(k) The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder the payment for such Notes in respect of the Asset Sale Offer, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Asset Sale Payment Date. Subject to any laws relating to abandoned property, the Paying Agent, if not the Company, shall return to the Company any

-91-

cash that remains unclaimed, together with interest, if any, thereon, held by the Paying Agent for the payment of the amount required pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The Trustee shall have no requirement to invest any such cash unless directed by the Company in writing and such investment shall be mutually acceptable to the Trustee and the Company.

SECTION 1019. No Amendment to Subordination Provisions. Without the consent of the Holders of a majority in outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes, the Company shall not amend, modify or alter the 6% Senior Subordinated Debt Documents in any way to:

(1) increase the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any 6% Senior Subordinated Exchangeable Notes;

(2) increase the principal of, advance the final maturity date of or shorten the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any 6% Senior Subordinated Exchangeable Notes in a manner adverse to the Holders of the Notes;

(3) alter the redemption provisions or the price or terms at which the Company is required to offer to purchase any 6% Senior Subordinated Exchangeable Notes; or

(4) amend the provisions of the 6% Senior Subordinated Debt Documents that relate to subordination, in a manner adverse to the Holders of the Notes.

SECTION 1020. Events of Loss.

(a) In the case of an Event of Loss with respect to any Collateral, the Company or the affected Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, shall, within 365 days after receipt of the Net Loss Proceeds, apply the Net Loss Proceeds from such Event of Loss at its option:

(1) to the extent such Net Proceeds are from an Event of Loss with respect to Non-ABL Priority Collateral, to permanently reduce Obligations under the Term Loan Facility, other First-Priority Obligations, the Notes and/or Other Second-Priority Obligations, in each case, of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor and, in the case of Obligations under revolving credit facilities or other similar Indebtedness, to correspondingly permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto (other than Obligations owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary); provided that if the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall so reduce Obligations under any Other Second-Priority Obligations, the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor will either (x) equally and ratably, reduce Obligations under the Notes by, at its option, (A) redeeming Notes as provided under Section 1101 or (B) purchasing Notes through open market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at a price equal to or higher than 100% of the principal amount thereof) in a manner that complies with this Indenture and applicable securities law or (y) make an offer (in accordance with the procedures for a Loss Proceeds Offer set forth in Section 1020(c)) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased; or

(2) to the extent such Net Proceeds are from an Event of Loss with respect to ABL Priority Collateral, to permanently reduce Obligations under the ABL Facility, the Term Loan Facility, other First-Priority Obligations, the Notes and/or Other Second-Priority Obligations, in each case, of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor and, in the case of Obligations under revolving credit facilities or other similar Indebtedness, to correspondingly permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto (other than Obligations owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary); provided that if the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall so reduce Obligations under any Other Second-Priority Obligations, the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor will either (x) equally and ratably, reduce Obligations under the Notes by, at its option, (A) redeeming Notes as provided under Section 1011 or (B) purchasing Notes through open market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at a price equal to or higher than 100% of the principal amount thereof) in a manner that complies with this Indenture and applicable securities law or (y) make an offer (in accordance with the procedures for a Loss Proceeds Offer set forth in Section 1020(c)) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased; or

-92-

The Company shall commence a Loss Proceeds Offer with respect to Excess Loss Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that Excess Loss Proceeds exceed $35.0 million by mailing or electronically sending the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. The Company may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any Excess Loss Proceeds from an Event of Loss by making a Loss Proceeds Offer with respect to such Excess Loss Proceeds prior to the expiration of the relevant 365 day-period (or such longer period provided above) or with respect to Excess Loss Proceeds of $35.0 million or less.

SECTION 1021. Covenant Termination.

If on any date following the date of this Indenture:

(1) the Notes are rated Baa3 or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and BBB- or better by S&P (or, if either such entity ceases to rate the Notes for reasons outside of the control of the Company, the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any other “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” registered under Section 15E of the Exchange Act selected by the Company as a replacement agency); and

SECTION 1022. After-Acquired Property.

-95-

Within the time periods (and subject to the thresholds) set forth in this Indenture or in the Security Documents following the acquisition by the Company or any Guarantor of any After-Acquired Property (but subject to the limitations, if applicable, described under Article Fifteen and in the Security Documents), the Company or such Guarantor shall comply with the requirements of Section 3.6 of the Security Agreement and execute and deliver such mortgages, deeds of trust, security instruments, title insurance policies, financing statements, certificates, opinions of counsel and all ancillary documents thereto, as shall be reasonably necessary to vest in the Collateral Agent a perfected security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in such After-Acquired Property and to have such After-Acquired Property added to the Collateral, and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such After-Acquired Property to the same extent and with the same force and effect; provided that in the case of Collateral that consists of real property and improvements, the Company or the applicable Guarantor shall only be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate the foregoing within one hundred and fifty (150) days or as soon as practicable thereafter upon the acquisition of such After-Acquired Property and shall only be required to take ministerial actions to cure defects in title to the extent necessary to obtain a valid Mortgage and title insurance, but would not be required to pay more than de minimis fees and expenses to cure any title defects.

The Company and each Guarantor agrees that, in the event the Company or such Guarantor takes any action to grant or perfect a Lien in favor of the First-Priority Collateral Agent (or other collateral agent with respect to any First-Priority Obligations) or the ABL Facility Collateral Agent in any assets, the Company or such Guarantor shall also take such action to grant or perfect a Lien (subject to the Intercreditor Agreements) in favor of the Collateral Agent to secure the Indenture Obligations without request of the Collateral Agent; provided that such action shall not impose additional duties, liabilities or obligations on the part of the Collateral Agent without its consent and shall provide for such indemnifications and protections as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request. No actions in any jurisdiction outside the United States will be required in order to create any security interests in assets located or titled outside of the United States, or to perfect any security interests in such assets, including any intellectual property registered in any jurisdiction outside the United States. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the Collateral Agent be required to register in any foreign jurisdiction or pursuant to any foreign local law, and the Pledgors shall not be required to perfect the security interest in any Collateral that would require the Collateral Agent to make such registration.

ARTICLE ELEVEN

(a) [Reserved].

(b) At any time prior to July 15, 2020, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date.

(c) From and after July 15, 2020, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on July 15 of each of the years indicated below:


Year	Percentage
2020		104.000	%
2021		102.000	%
2022 and thereafter		100.000	%

-96-

(d) Prior to July 15, 2020, the Company may, at its option, redeem up to 40% of the sum of the original aggregate principal amount of Notes (and the original principal amount of any Additional Notes) issued under this Indenture at a redemption price equal to 110.750% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, with funds in an amount equal to all or a portion of the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company to the extent such net cash proceeds are contributed to the Company; provided that:

(1) at least 60% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued under this Indenture and the aggregate principal amount of any Additional Notes issued under this Indenture after the Issue Date remain Outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption (unless all Notes Outstanding on the Redemption Date are redeemed); and

(2) that each such redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of closing of each such Equity Offering.

(e) If a Change of Control occurs (x) at any time on or prior to July 15, 2019, the Company (or a third party on behalf of the Company) may, at its option, redeem all, but not less than all, of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 102.000% of the principal amount of the Notes and (y) at any time after July 15, 2019 but on or prior to July 15, 2020, the Company (or a third party on behalf of the Company) may, at its option, redeem all, but not less than all, of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 103.000% of the principal amount of the Notes, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date (a “Change of Control Redemption”). If the Company (or such third party) elects to exercise this redemption right, it must do so by sending a redemption notice to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee within 30 days following the Change of Control (or, at the Company’s option, prior to such Change of Control but after the transaction giving rise to such Change of Control is publicly announced). Any such redemption may be conditioned upon the Change of Control occurring if the notice is sent prior to the Change of Control. If the Company (or such third party) exercises the Change of Control Redemption right, the Company may elect not to make the Change of Control Offer pursuant to Section 1017 unless it defaults in payments due upon redemption.

(f) Upon consummation by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of one or more Asset Sales generating Net Proceeds in excess of $35.0 million in the aggregate (x) at any time on or prior to July 15, 2019, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or a portion of the Notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed such Net Proceeds, at a redemption price equal to 102.000% of the principal amount of the Notes and (y) at any time after July 15, 2019 but on or prior to July 15, 2020, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or a portion of the Notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed such Net Proceeds, at a redemption price equal to 103.000% of the principal amount of the Notes, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date (an “Asset Sale Redemption”). If the Company elects to exercise this redemption right, it must do so by sending a notice of an Asset Sale Redemption at least 30 days prior to such Redemption Date to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee. Any such redemption may be conditioned upon the consummation of an Asset Sale if the notice is sent prior to consummation of such Asset Sale. For the avoidance of doubt, any cash actually applied to redeem Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Redemption shall be excluded from the calculation of Excess Proceeds and therefore the requirement to make an Asset Sale Offer.

SECTION 1102. Mandatory Redemption. The Company shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

SECTION 1103. Applicability of Article. Redemption of Notes at the election of the Company or otherwise, as permitted or required by any provision of this Indenture or the Notes, shall be made in accordance with such provision and this Article Eleven.

SECTION 1104. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 1101 hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least five Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be delivered or caused to be delivered to Holders pursuant to Section 1106 hereof (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (i) the paragraph or subparagraph of such Note and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the Redemption Date, (iii) the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the Redemption Price. Any notice to the Trustee delivered pursuant to this Section 1104 may be revoked by the Company prior to the delivery of any notice of redemption sent to Holders.

SECTION 1105. Selection by Trustee of Notes to Be Redeemed.

(a) If the Company is redeeming less than all of the Notes at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed (a) if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which such Notes are listed or (b) if such Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable; provided that no Notes of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part.

(b) If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, any notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

(c) A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of any Note redeemed in part shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Subject to the second paragraph of Section 1106, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in the redemption payment, interest shall cease to accrue on the Note or portions thereof called for redemption.

SECTION 1106. Notice of Redemption. Notices of redemption shall be sent electronically or mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, or otherwise provided in accordance with the procedures of the Depository, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the Depository, except that notices of redemption may be delivered more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. For Notes that are represented by global certificates held on behalf of the Depository, notices may be given by delivery of the relevant notices to the Depository for communication to entitled account holders in substitution of the aforementioned delivery.

In connection with any redemption of Notes (including with the net cash proceeds of an Equity Offering), any such redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to satisfaction or waiver of one or more conditions precedent, including any related Equity Offering.

All notices of redemption shall state:

(5) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price (and accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 1108) shall become due and payable upon each such Note, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed, and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date, subject to any condition precedent in that notice,

(6) the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any,

(7) the name and address of the Paying Agent,

(8) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price,

(11) the paragraph of the Notes or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes are to be redeemed, and

(12) any conditions precedent to which the redemption or notice is subject to and that, in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date so delayed.

The Company may provide in any notice of redemption that payment of the Redemption Price or performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to the redemption may be performed by a third party if such third party makes such payment and satisfies such obligations in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture.

At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least five Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be delivered or caused to be delivered to Holders pursuant to this Section 1106 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in Section 1104.

SECTION 1107. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is delivered in accordance with Section 1106 hereof, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price, subject to any condition precedent set forth in that notice. The notice, if delivered in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Subject to Section 1108 hereof, on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption.

SECTION 1108. Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and accrued interest, if any, on, all the Notes that are to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased. In addition, all money, if any, earned on funds held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall be remitted to the Company.

(a) Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date and assuming the satisfaction or waiver of any conditions precedent, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified (together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Note for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Note shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date and such Notes shall be canceled by the Trustee; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more Predecessor Notes, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 306.

(b) If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Notes.

SECTION 1110. Notes Redeemed in Part. Any Note which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of this Article Eleven) shall be surrendered at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002 (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note without service charge, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered; provided that no Note of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part.

ARTICLE TWELVE

NOTES GUARANTEES

SECTION 1201. Notes Guarantees. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the Notes and obligations of the Company hereunder and thereunder and the obligations of the Company and each other Guarantor under the Security Documents, and guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, and to the Trustee for itself and on behalf of such Holder, that: (1) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes shall be paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise (including the amount that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Law), subject to any applicable grace period, together with interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any overdue interest, to the extent lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or of any such other obligations, the same shall be paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, subject to any applicable grace period, and subject, however, in the case of clauses (1) and (2) above, to the limitation set forth in Section 1204 hereof.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that (to the extent permitted by law) its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor (other than payment in full of the principal of, and premium and interest, if any, on, the Notes).

-100-

(b) Each Guarantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand for payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company or any other Person, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that the Notes Guarantee of such Guarantor shall not be discharged as to any Note except by complete performance of the obligations contained in such Note, this Indenture and such Notes Guarantee. Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Notes Guarantee is a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due and not of collection. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on such Note, whether at its Stated Maturity, by acceleration, purchase or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holder of such Note, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Indenture, directly against each of the Guarantors to enforce such Guarantor’s Notes Guarantee without first proceeding against the Company or any other Guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee or any of the Holders are prevented by applicable law from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the Maturity of the Notes, to collect interest on the Notes, or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the Notes, such Guarantor shall pay to the Trustee for the account of the Holder, upon demand therefor, the amount that would otherwise have been due and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the Trustee or any of the Holders.

(c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or any Guarantor, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or such Holder, the Notes Guarantee of each of the Guarantors, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) subject to this Article Twelve, the Maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Five hereof for the purposes of the Notes Guarantee of such Guarantor notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any acceleration of such obligation as provided in Article Five hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of the Notes Guarantee of such Guarantor. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Notes Guarantees.

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

SECTION 1202. Severability. In case any provision of any Notes Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby to the extent permitted by applicable law.

SECTION 1203. Reserved.

SECTION 1204. Limitation of Subsidiary Guarantors’ Liability. Each Subsidiary Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Notes Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the 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 Notes Guarantee or the provisions of its local law relating to fraudulent transfer or conveyance. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and each such Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Notes Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article Twelve, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Notes Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law.

-101-

SECTION 1205. Contribution. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Notes 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.

SECTION 1206. Subrogation. Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 1201; provided, however, that, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Company under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full.

SECTION 1207. Reinstatement. Each Guarantor hereby agrees (and each Person who becomes a Guarantor shall agree) that the Notes Guarantee provided for in Section 1201 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time, payment, or any part thereof, of any obligations or interest thereon is properly rescinded or must otherwise be restored by a Holder to the Company upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company or any Guarantor.

SECTION 1208. Release of a Subsidiary Guarantor. The Notes Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor, together with any pledge of the equity interests of such Subsidiary Guarantor or Lien on or security interest in any assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor, shall automatically and unconditionally be released and discharged, and no further action by such Subsidiary Guarantor, the Company, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent is required for the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Notes Guarantee, together with any pledge of the equity interests of such Subsidiary Guarantor or Lien on or security interest in any assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor, upon:

(1) (A) the sale, disposition or other transfer (including through merger or consolidation) of all of the Capital Stock (or any sale, disposition or other transfer of Capital Stock following which such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary), or all or substantially all the assets, of such Subsidiary Guarantor (other than a sale, disposition or other transfer to a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor) if such sale, disposition or other transfer is made in compliance with Sections 802 and 1018(a) of this Indenture;

(B) the designation by the Company of such Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 1010 of this Indenture and the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary”;

(C) with respect to any entity that becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor after the Issue Date, the release or discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its guarantee of Indebtedness under the ABL Facility and the Term Loan Facility (other than as a result of the payment of such Indebtedness) or the guarantee that resulted in the obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor to guarantee the Notes, in each case, if such Subsidiary Guarantor would not then otherwise be required to guarantee the Notes pursuant to Section 1015 of this Indenture (treating any guarantees of such Subsidiary Guarantor that remain outstanding as incurred at least 45 days prior to such release or discharge); or

(D) the exercise by the Company of its Legal Defeasance of the Notes under Section 1302 of this Indenture or its Covenant Defeasance of the Notes under Section 1303 of this Indenture or if the Company’s obligations under this Indenture are discharged in accordance with Section 401 of this Indenture; and

-102-

(2) in the case of clause (1)(A) above, the release or discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its guarantee, if any, of and all pledges and security, if any, granted by such Subsidiary Guarantor in connection with, the ABL Facility and the Term Loan Facility.

SECTION 1209. Benefits Acknowledged. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it shall receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and from its guarantee and waivers pursuant to its Notes Guarantees under this Article Twelve.

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

SECTION 1301. Company’s Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Company may, at its option, and at any time, elect to have either Section 1302 or Section 1303 be applied to all Outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Thirteen.

SECTION 1302. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 1301 of the option applicable to this Section 1302, each of the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have been discharged from its respective obligations with respect to all Outstanding Notes and Notes Guarantees (including obligations under this Indenture and the Security Documents) on the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that each of the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 1305 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes, Notes Guarantees, this Indenture and the Security Documents insofar as such Notes and their related Notes Guarantees are concerned, the Collateral shall be released and all then existing Events of Default shall be deemed cured (and the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder or under the Security Documents, as applicable:

(1) the rights of Holders of Outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on such Notes when such payments are due, solely out of the trust created pursuant to this Indenture (as described in Sections 1304 and 1305),

SECTION 1303. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 1301 of the option applicable to this Section 1303, each of the Company and the Guarantors shall be released from its respective obligations under any covenant contained in Sections 801 and 802 and in Sections 1005 through 1007 and 1009 through and including 1020 and any covenant contained in the Security Documents with respect to the Outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not to be “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding Notes, the Company or any Guarantor, as

-103-

applicable, may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Sections 501(3), 501(4), 501(5), 501(7) and 501(8) and, with respect to only any Significant Subsidiary and not the Company, Section 501(6), but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture, such Notes and the Security Documents shall be unaffected thereby.

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel in the United States shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Notes shall not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and shall be subject to U.S. Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

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

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any Credit Facility, the 6% Senior Subordinated Debt Documents, the 6% Senior Subordinated Exchangeable Notes or any other material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;

-104-

(6) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Company or any Guarantor or others; and

(7) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel in the United States of America (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with.

SECTION 1306. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 1305 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s and each Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, the Outstanding Notes, the Notes Guarantees and the Security Documents shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 1305; provided, however, that (a) if the Company makes any payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent; and (b) unless otherwise required by any legal proceeding or any other order or judgment of any court or governmental authority, the Trustee or Paying Agent (if other than the Company) shall return all such money and Government Securities to the Company promptly after receiving a written request therefor at any time, if such reinstatement of the Company’s obligations has occurred and continues to be in effect.

INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENTS

SECTION 1401. Intercreditor Agreements.

(a) Each Holder by accepting a Note agrees that the Second-Priority Liens securing the Indenture Obligations are subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement. Each Holder by accepting a Note agrees that the Second-Priority Liens securing the Indenture Obligations are subject to the terms of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Each Holder by accepting a Note agrees that the Second-Priority Liens securing the Indenture Obligations are subject to the terms of each other intercreditor agreement permitted under the terms of this Indenture or entered into pursuant to this Indenture.

The Collateral Agent shall have no duty or obligation to make any such filings and shall have no liability arising from the making of or any failure to make such filings.

SECTION 1502. Collateral Agent.

(a) U.S. Bank National Association is hereby designated and appointed as the Collateral Agent of the Holders under the Security Documents, and is authorized as the Collateral Agent for such Holders to execute and enter into each of the Security Documents and all other instruments relating to the Security Documents and (i) to take action and exercise such powers and remedies as are expressly required or permitted hereunder and under the Security Documents and all instruments relating hereto and thereto, (ii) to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are, in each case, expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental hereto and thereto and (iii) to designate and/or appoint agents, designees and/or representatives to exercise such powers and perform such duties. The Collateral Agent shall have all the rights, immunities, indemnities, privileges, benefits and protections provided in the Security Documents and, additionally, shall have all the rights, immunities, indemnities, privileges, benefits and protections provided to the “Trustee” under Article Six to the same extent as if such rights, immunities, indemnities, privileges, benefits and protections referred to the Collateral Agent; provided that the last reference to “Trustee” in Section 601(b) shall refer only to the Trustee and not to the Collateral Agent.

(b) None of the Collateral Agent, Trustee, Paying Agent, Note Registrar, such other agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents will be responsible or liable for the existence, genuineness, value or protection of any Collateral (except the custody of Collateral in its possession using the same care it provides for its own possessory collateral and the accounting for monies actually received), for the legality, enforceability, effectiveness or sufficiency of the Security Documents, or for the creation, perfection, priority, sufficiency or protection of any Second-Priority Liens or any defect or deficiency. The Collateral Agent will not have any fiduciary duties nor will it have responsibilities or obligations other than those expressly assumed by it in this Indenture and the Security Documents. The Collateral Agent will not be required to take any action that is contrary to applicable law or any provision of this Indenture or any of the Security Documents.

(c) Except as expressly required by this Indenture or the Security Documents (any such express requirement to be subject to all the rights, immunities, indemnities, privileges, benefits and protections provided to the Collateral Agent in this Indenture and the Security Documents, including, but not limited to, Section 603 hereof), the Holders, by accepting a Note, acknowledge that the Collateral Agent will not be obligated:

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

(2) to foreclose upon or otherwise enforce any Second-Priority Lien; or

(3) to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any or all of the Second-Priority Liens, Security Documents or Collateral.

-107-

SECTION 1503. Authorization of Actions to Be Taken.

(a) Each Holder of Notes, by its acceptance thereof, consents and agrees to the terms of each Security Document (including the provisions providing for foreclosure and for release of Collateral), as originally in effect and as amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time in accordance with its terms or the terms of this Indenture, authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents to which it is a party, authorizes and empowers the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreements (and any joinder thereto) and any other intercreditor agreement entered into in accordance with the terms of this Indenture (and any joinder thereto) and authorizes and empowers the Collateral Agent to bind the Holders of Notes as set forth in the Security Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party and the Intercreditor Agreements and any other intercreditor agreement entered into in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights and powers thereunder. Prior to delivery of any Security Documents (or any amendments, waivers or modifications thereto), the Collateral Agent shall have the opportunity to request and receive an Officers’ Certificate of the Company certifying that such documentation (i) will cause no default under any Intercreditor Agreement or any other intercreditor agreement entered into in accordance with the terms of this Indenture that is then in effect and (ii) is in compliance with the terms of this Indenture.

(b) The Trustee is authorized and empowered to receive for the benefit of the Holders of Notes any funds collected or distributed to the Collateral Agent under the Security Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party and, subject to the terms of the Security Documents, to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders of Notes according to the provisions of this Indenture.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Article Six and Article Fifteen and the limitations set forth in the Security Documents, the Trustee may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders, direct, on behalf of the Holders, the Collateral Agent to take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to:

(1) foreclose upon or otherwise enforce any or all of the Second-Priority Liens;

(2) enforce any of the terms of the Security Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party;

(3) collect and receive payment of any and all Obligations; or

(4) give effect to any Permitted Lien or to cause or permit such Permitted Lien to have the priority provided herein.

(d) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreements and the other Security Documents and at the Company’s cost and expense (subject to indemnification and security provided by the relevant Holders under the other provisions of this Indenture), the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered by each Holder of Notes (by its acceptance thereof) to institute and maintain, or direct the Collateral Agent to institute and maintain, such suits and proceedings as it may deem reasonably expedient to protect or enforce the Second-Priority Liens or the Security Documents to which the Collateral Agent or Trustee is a party or to prevent any impairment of Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of the Security Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may deem reasonably expedient, at the Company’s cost and expense (subject to indemnification and security provided by the relevant Holders under the other provisions of this Indenture), to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders of Notes in the Collateral, including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the Second-Priority Liens or be prejudicial to the interests of Holders or the Trustee.

-108-

SECTION 1504. Release of Collateral. The Collateral will automatically and without the need for any further action by any Person be released from the Liens and security interests securing the Indenture Obligations created by the Security Documents or subordinated, as the case may be:

(a) released in whole upon:

(1) satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article Four;

(2) a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under Article Thirteen; or

(3) payment in full of the principal of, together with accrued and unpaid interest (including, to the extent legally permitted, all interest accrued thereon after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding at the rate, including any applicable post-default rate, specified in the applicable agreement whether or not a claim for post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), if any, on the Notes and the Notes Guarantees;

(b) released in part, as to any property that (a) is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Company or any Guarantor (other than to the Company or another Guarantor) in a transaction not prohibited by this Indenture at the time of such sale, transfer or disposition, (b) is owned or at any time acquired by a Guarantor that has been released from its Notes Guarantee pursuant to Section 1208, concurrently with the release of such Notes Guarantee or (c) is or becomes an Excluded Asset pursuant to a transaction not prohibited by this Indenture; or

(d) to subordinate or release any Lien on any property to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by clause (18) (in respect of Indebtedness incurred under Section 1011(b)(18)) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” or, in the case of subordination only, clause (9) of the definition of “Permitted Liens,” in each case, to the extent and for so long as the contract or other agreement in which such Lien is granted validly prohibits the creation of any other Lien (or, in the case of subordination, any senior Lien) on such property; and

(e) in whole or in part, as described in Article Nine.

SECTION 1505. Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Trustee. In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article Fifteen upon the Company or a Guarantor with respect to the release, subordination, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Company or a Guarantor or of any Officer or Officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article Fifteen; and if the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall be in the possession of the Collateral under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

SECTION 1506. Post-Closing Collateral. Within 150 days after the Issue Date (or such later date as may be extended by the First-Priority Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of the Term Loan Facility) using commercially reasonable efforts, the Company shall deliver to the Initial Purchasers, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent each of the following documents, which shall be substantially in the form of the comparable documents delivered by the Company to the First-Priority Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of Term Loan Facility, and which shall be in customary form (as determined by the Company in its sole reasonable discretion), and all ancillary documents thereto, which documents shall contain only such obligations, duties, benefits indemnities and protections on the part of the Collateral Agent which are reasonably acceptable to it:

(i) Insurance. Policies or certificates of insurance covering the property and assets of the Company and the Guarantors, which policies or certificates, including endorsements thereto, shall reflect the Collateral Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Trustee and the holders of the Notes, as additional insured and loss payee and mortgagee, as applicable.

-109-

(ii) Mortgages. Fully executed counterparts of the Mortgages encumbering the Mortgaged Property, it being understood that if a mortgage tax will be owed on the entire amount of the indebtedness, then the amount secured by said Mortgage shall be limited to the fair market value of the property at the time the Mortgage is entered into if such limitation results in such mortgage tax being calculated upon such fair market value.

(iii) Title Insurance. With respect to each Mortgage, a loan policy of title insurance (or commitment to issue such a policy having the effect of a loan policy of title insurance) insuring (or committing to insure) the lien of such Mortgage as a valid and enforceable second priority mortgage or deed of trust lien on the fee estate of the Mortgaged Property described therein (each such policy, a “Mortgage Policy”) issued by such title insurance company in an amount equal to the fair market value of the land and improvements on the Mortgaged Property (based on the most recently available tax assessments for such Mortgaged Property) and with customary endorsements so long as such endorsements are available in the applicable jurisdiction and available at commercially reasonable rates, which Mortgage Policy provides that the Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property is a valid and enforceable mortgage lien on the Mortgaged Property, free and clear of all defects and encumbrances other than Permitted Liens. All such Mortgage Policies may be subject to a survey exception.

(iv) Fixture Filings. Proper fixture filings under the UCC on Form UCC-1 or in the applicable Mortgage for filing under the UCC in the appropriate jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Properties are located as desirable to perfect the security interests in fixtures purported to be created by the Mortgages in favor of the Collateral Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Trustee and the Second-Priority Secured Parties; provided, however, that to the extent local counsel opines that any Mortgage would constitute a valid and effective fixture filing in the jurisdiction in which the applicable Mortgaged Property is located, a fixture filing on Form UCC-1 shall not be required with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

(v) Counsel Opinions. Opinions addressed to the Initial Purchasers and the Collateral Agent for its benefit and for the benefit of the Trustee and the Second-Priority Secured Parties of (i) local counsel in each jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located with respect to the enforceability and perfection of the Mortgages and other matters customarily included in such opinions and (ii) counsel for the Company regarding due authorization, execution and delivery of the Mortgages.

(vi) Collateral Fees and Expenses. Evidence of payment by the Company of all Mortgage Policy premiums, search and examination charges, mortgage recording taxes, fees, charges, costs and expenses required for the recording of the Mortgages, fixture filings and other documents and issuance of the Mortgage Policies referred to above.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (x) for purposes of this Section 1506, “commercially reasonable efforts” shall include the Company and the Guarantors taking any necessary ministerial actions to cure defects in title to the extent necessary to obtain a valid Mortgage and Mortgage Policy to the extent required by clauses (ii) and (iii) above, but shall not include the payment of more than de minimis fees and expenses to cure any title defects, the payment of more than $200,000 for the procurement of the Mortgage Policies, and (y) no default under the Purchase Agreement, this Indenture or any Security Document will be triggered if the Company fails to deliver a Mortgage or Mortgage Policy on one or more of the Mortgaged Properties in spite of its use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so. For the avoidance of doubt, the requirements set forth in clauses (iv) to (vi) hereof shall not be required to be satisfied if the Company is not required to deliver a Mortgage or Mortgage Policy pursuant to this Section 1506.

Prior to delivery of any of the documentation set forth above, the Collateral Agent shall have the opportunity to request and receive an Officers’ Certificate of the Company certifying that such documentation (i) is in customary form, (ii) will cause no default under any Intercreditor Agreement or any other intercreditor agreement entered into in accordance with the terms of this Indenture that is then in effect and (iii) is in compliance with the terms of this Indenture.

-110-

Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee undertakes any responsibility whatsoever to determine whether any of the foregoing covenants in this Section 1506 have been satisfied, and neither shall have any liability whatsoever arising out of the failure of the Company or any of the Guarantors to satisfy such post-closing requirements.

(ii) written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Notes Custodian to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Rule 144A Global Note (in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (b)(i)(A)) or Permanent Regulation S Global Note (in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (b)(i)(B)) to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Rule 144A Global Note or Permanent Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depository account to be credited with such increase,

then the Trustee shall cancel such Certificated Note and cause, or direct the Notes Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depository and the Notes Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Rule 144A Global Note or Permanent Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Certificated Note to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note or Permanent Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, equal to the principal amount of the Certificated Note so canceled. If no Rule 144A Global Notes or Permanent Regulation S Global Notes, as applicable, are then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon receipt of a Company Order, a new Rule 144A Global Note or Permanent Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, in the appropriate principal amount.

(i) The transfer and exchange of Global Notes or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depository, in accordance with the Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the Depository therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall deliver to the Note Registrar a written order given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures containing

-4-

information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Global Note. The Note Registrar shall, in accordance with such instructions, instruct the Depository to credit to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note and to debit the account of the Person making the transfer the beneficial interest in the Global Note being transferred.

(ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Note to a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Note Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Note Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.

(iv) In the event that Global Note is exchanged for Certificated Notes pursuant to Section 2.4 of this Appendix, such Notes may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 (including the certification requirements set forth on the reverse of the Initial Notes (as set forth in Exhibit 2, hereto) intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A, Regulation S or another applicable exemption under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Company.

(d) Restrictions on Transfer of Temporary Regulation S Global Notes. During the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial ownership interests in Temporary Regulation S Global Notes may only be sold, pledged or transferred in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and only (i) to the Company, (ii) in an offshore transaction in accordance with Regulation S (other than a transaction resulting in an exchange for an interest in a Permanent Regulation S Global Note), or (iii) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any State of the United States.

(e) Legend.

Each Note certificate evidencing the Global Notes (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, U.S. PERSONS EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF, THE HOLDER (1) REPRESENTS THAT (A) IT IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) OR (B) IT IS NOT A U.S. PERSON AND IS ACQUIRING THIS SECURITY IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (2) AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT RESELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY EXCEPT (A) TO ALERIS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

AS USED HEREIN, THE

-5-

TERMS “OFFSHORE TRANSACTION,” “UNITED STATES” AND “U.S. PERSON” HAVE THE MEANING GIVEN TO THEM BY REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, TRANSFERS PURSUANT TO RULE 144 WILL NOT BE PERMITTED, EVEN IF LEGALLY AVAILABLE.

Each certificate evidencing a Note offered in reliance on Regulation S shall, in addition to the foregoing, bear a legend in substantially the following form:

THIS SECURITY WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION ORIGINALLY EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, ANY U.S. PERSON EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND ALL APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. TERMS USED ABOVE HAVE THE MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM IN REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.

Each Certificated Note shall also bear the following additional legend:

IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSFER, THE HOLDER WILL DELIVER TO THE NOTE REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT SUCH CERTIFICATES AND OTHER INFORMATION AS SUCH TRANSFER AGENT MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT THE TRANSFER COMPLIES WITH THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.

(f) Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Note. At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Note have been exchanged for Certificated Notes, redeemed, purchased or canceled, such Global Note shall be returned to the Depository for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for certificated Notes, redeemed, purchased or canceled, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the Notes Custodian for such Global Note) with respect to such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Notes Custodian, to reflect such reduction.

(g) No Obligation of the Trustee.

(i) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, 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 Notes 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 Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depository or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depository subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depository. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

(ii) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under the Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depository participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of the Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF INITIAL NOTE]

10.750% Senior Secured Junior Priority Note due 2023

Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Indenture.

1. Principal and Interest.

Aleris International, Inc. (the “Company”) shall pay the principal of this Note on July 15, 2023.

The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note on each Interest Payment Date, as set forth below, at the rate set forth below (subject to adjustment as provided below).

Interest on the Notes shall accrue at the rate of 10.750% per annum and be payable in cash.

Interest shall be payable semi-annually (to the Holders of the Notes at the close of business on January 1 or July 1 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date) on each Interest Payment Date, commencing January 15, 2019.

Interest on this Note shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from June 25, 2018 (although any Additional Notes may accrue interest starting at other dates, and the first Interest Payment Date may be a different date); provided that, if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest and if this Note is authenticated between a Regular Record Date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and premium, if any, and interest on overdue installments of interest, to the extent lawful, at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the Notes.

2. Method of Payment.

The Company shall pay interest (except Defaulted Interest) on the principal amount of the Notes on each January 15 and July 15 to the Persons who are Holders (as reflected in the Note Register at the close of business on January 1 and July 1 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date), in each case, even if the Note is transferred or exchanged after such Regular Record Date, except as provided in Section 306(b) with respect to Defaulted Interest; provided that, with respect to the payment of principal, the Company shall make payment to the Holder that surrenders this Note to any Paying Agent on or after July 15, 2023.

The Company shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. However, the Company may pay principal, premium, if any, and interest by its check payable in such money. The Company may pay interest on the Notes either (a) by mailing a check for such interest to a Holder’s registered address (as reflected in the Note Register) or (b) by wire transfer to an account located in the United States maintained by the payee. If a payment date is a date other than a Business Day at a place of payment, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period.

3. Paying Agent and Note Registrar.

Initially, U.S. Bank National Association (the “Trustee”) shall act as Paying Agent and Note Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Note Registrar upon written notice thereto and without notice to the Holders. The Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of them may act as Paying Agent, Note Registrar or co-registrar.

4. Indenture.

The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of June 25, 2018 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of all such terms. In the event of any inconsistency between (x) the terms of this Note and (y) the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall control. In the event of any inconsistency between (x) the terms of the Security Documents and (y) the terms of this Note, the terms of the Security Documents shall control.

The Notes are senior secured obligations of the Company. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of the Notes. Subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Company may issue Additional Notes.

5. Mandatory Redemption.

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

6. Optional Redemption.

At any time prior to July 15, 2020, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date.

From and after July 15, 2020, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice at the Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the applicable 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 twelve-month period beginning on July 15 of each of the years indicated below:


Year	Percentage
2020		104.000	%
2021		102.000	%
2022 and thereafter		100.000	%

Prior to July 15, 2020, the Company may, at its option, redeem up to 40% of the sum of the original aggregate principal amount of Notes (and the original principal amount of any Additional Notes) issued under the Indenture at a redemption price equal to 110.750% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date, with funds in an amount equal to all or a portion of the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company to the extent such net proceeds are contributed to the Company; provided that at least 60% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued under the Indenture and the aggregate principal amount of any Additional Notes issued under the Indenture after the Issue Date remain Outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption (unless all Notes outstanding on the Redemption Date are redeemed); provided, further, each such redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of closing of each such Equity Offering.

If a Change of Control occurs (x) at any time on or prior to July 15, 2019, the Company (or a third party on behalf of the Company) may, at its option, redeem all, but not less than all, of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 102.000% of the principal amount of the Notes and (y) at any time after July 15, 2019 but on or prior to July 15, 2020, the Company (or a third party on behalf of the Company) may, at its option, redeem all, but not less than all, of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 103.000% of the principal amount of the Notes, in each case, plus

-7-

accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date (a “Change of Control Redemption”). If the Company (or such third party) elects to exercise this redemption right, it must do so by sending a redemption notice to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee within 30 days following the Change of Control (or, at the Company’s option, prior to such Change of Control but after the transaction giving rise to such Change of Control is publicly announced). Any such redemption may be conditioned upon the Change of Control occurring if the notice is sent prior to the Change of Control. If the Company (or such third party) exercises the Change of Control Redemption right, the Company may elect not to make the Change of Control Offer pursuant to Section 1017 unless it defaults in payments due upon redemption.

Upon consummation by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of one or more Asset Sales generating Net Proceeds in excess of $35.0 million in the aggregate (x) at any time on or prior to July 15, 2019, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or a portion of the Notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed such Net Proceeds, at a redemption price equal to 102.000% of the principal amount of the Notes and (y) at any time after July 15, 2019 but on or prior to July 15, 2020, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or a portion of the Notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed such Net Proceeds, at a redemption price equal to 103.000% of the principal amount of the Notes, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date (an “Asset Sale Redemption”). If the Company elects to exercise this redemption right, it must do so by sending a notice of an Asset Sale Redemption at least 30 days prior to such Redemption Date to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee. Any such redemption may be conditioned upon the consummation of an Asset Sale if the notice is sent prior to consummation of such Asset Sale. For the avoidance of doubt, any cash actually applied to redeem Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Redemption shall be excluded from the calculation of Excess Proceeds and therefore the requirement to make an Asset Sale Offer.

7. Repurchase upon a Change of Control, Asset Sales and Events of Loss.

Subject to paragraph 6 above, upon the occurrence of (a) a Change of Control, the Holders shall have the right, pursuant to Section 1017 of the Indenture, to require that the Company purchase such Holder’s Outstanding Notes, in whole or in part, at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, (b) Asset Sales, the Company may be obligated, pursuant to Section 1018 of the Indenture, to make offers to purchase Notes and Other Second-Priority Obligations of the Company with a portion of the Net Proceeds of such Asset Sales at a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase and (c) Events of Loss, the Company may be obligated, pursuant to Section 1020 of the Indenture, to make offers to purchase Notes and Other Second-Priority Obligations of the Company with a portion of the Net Loss Proceeds of such Events of Loss at a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

8. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Note Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Note Registrar need not register the transfer or exchange of a Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) or any Note or portion of a Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or 15 days before an Interest Payment Date.

9. Persons Deemed Owners.

A registered Holder may be treated as the owner of a Note for all purposes.

-8-

10. Unclaimed Money.

Subject to any laws relating to abandoned property, if money for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust. After that, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall cease.

11. Discharge and Defeasance Prior to Redemption or Maturity.

Subject to satisfaction of conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Company and the Guarantors at any time may terminate their respective obligations under the Notes, the Notes Guarantees and the Indenture, whereupon all the Liens on and security interests in the Collateral securing the Indenture Obligations granted under the Security Documents shall be automatically released, if the Company or any Guarantor irrevocably deposits with the Trustee cash or Government Securities or a combination thereof sufficient for the payment of the then outstanding principal of and interest on the Notes to the applicable Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

12. Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.

The Indenture, the Notes, the Notes Guarantees and the Security Documents may be amended, supplemented or waived as provided in Article Nine of the Indenture.

13. Restrictive Covenants.

The Indenture contains certain covenants, including covenants with respect to the following matters: (i) Restricted Payments; (ii) incurrence of Indebtedness and issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock; (iii) Liens; (iv) transactions with Affiliates; (v) dividend and other payment restrictions affecting Restricted Subsidiaries; (vi) guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries; (vii) changes to the terms of certain Subordinated Indebtedness; (viii) merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all assets; (ix) purchase of Notes upon a Change of Control; (x) sale and lease-back transactions; (xi) disposition of proceeds of Asset Sales; and (xii) application of proceeds upon Events of Loss. Within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018, the Company must report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.

14. Successor Persons.

When a successor Person or other entity assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture, the predecessor Person shall be released from those obligations, subject to certain exceptions.

15. Remedies for Events of Default.

If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may declare all Outstanding Notes to be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, the Notes automatically become immediately due and payable. Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any loss, liability or expense. Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder of a Note or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

-9-

16. Notes Guarantees.
