Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer.

(3) Each Global Note will be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary. Transfers of a Global Note (but not a beneficial interest therein) will be limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees, except (1) as set forth in Section 2.09(b)(4) and (2) transfers of portions thereof in the form of Certificated Notes may be made upon request of an Agent Member (for itself or on behalf of a beneficial owner) by written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with customary procedures of the Depositary and in compliance with this Section 2.09 and Section 2.10.

(4) Agent Members will have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, and the Depositary may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositary or its nominee may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person (including any Agent Member and any Person that holds a beneficial interest in a Global Note through an Agent Member) to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes, and nothing herein will impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any security.

(5) If (x) the Depositary notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for a Global Note and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of the notice or (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee has received a request from the

Depositary, the Trustee will promptly exchange each beneficial interest in the Global Note for one or more Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate principal amount registered in the name of the owner of such beneficial interest, as identified to the Trustee by the Depositary, and thereupon the Global Note will be deemed canceled. If such Note does not bear the Restricted Legend, then the Certificated Notes issued in exchange therefor will not bear the Restricted Legend. If such Note bears the Restricted Legend, then the Certificated Notes issued in exchange therefor will bear the Restricted Legend, provided that any Holder of any such Certificated Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note will have the right upon presentation to the Trustee of a duly completed Certificate of Beneficial Ownership after the Restricted Period to exchange such Certificated Note for a Certificated Note of like tenor and amount that does not bear the Restricted Legend, registered in the name of such Holder.

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

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

(y) the Trustee will not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or purchased pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption or purchase in whole or in part, except, in the case of a partial redemption or purchase, that portion of any Note not being redeemed or purchased, or (iii) if a redemption or a purchase pursuant to an Offer to Purchase is to occur after a Regular Record Date but on or before the corresponding Interest Payment Date, to register the transfer of or exchange any Note on or after the Regular Record Date and before the date of redemption or purchase. Prior to the registration of any transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and their agents will treat the Person in whose name the Note is registered as the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes (whether or not the Note is overdue), and will not be affected by notice to the contrary.

From time to time the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will authenticate additional Notes as necessary in order to permit the registration of a transfer or exchange in accordance with this Section.

No service charge will be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of any Note, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than a transfer tax or other similar governmental charge payable upon exchange pursuant to subsection (b)(4) of this Section 2.09).

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

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

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

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

thereof one or more Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Note, registered in the name of the Holder thereof.

Section 2.10. Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange. (a) The transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) may only be made in accordance with this Section 2.10 and Section 2.09 and, in the case of a Global Note (or a beneficial interest therein), the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee shall refuse to register any requested transfer or exchange that does not comply with the preceding sentence.

(b) Subject to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.10, the transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) of the type set forth in column A below for a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) of the type set forth opposite in column B below may only be made in compliance with the certification requirements (if any) described in the clause of this paragraph set forth opposite in column C below.

In the event that (i) the requested transfer or exchange takes place after the Restricted Period and a duly completed Regulation

(5) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no such exchange is permitted if the requested exchange involves a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note.

If the requested transfer or exchange involves a beneficial interest in a Permanent Offshore Global Note, no certification is required and the Trustee will deliver a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend.

(c) No certification is required in connection with any transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) after such Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor provision) without the need for current public information; provided that the Issuer has provided the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate, which complies with Section 14.05 hereof, to that effect, and the Issuer may require from any Person requesting a transfer or exchange in reliance upon this clause (1) an opinion of counsel and any other reasonable certifications and evidence in order to support such certificate.

Promptly after acceptance of a Certificate of Beneficial Ownership with respect to such a beneficial interest, the Trustee will cause such

beneficial interest to be exchanged for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Permanent Offshore Global Note, and will (x) permanently reduce the principal amount of such Temporary Offshore Global Note by the amount of such beneficial interest and (y) increase the principal amount of such Permanent Offshore Global Note by the amount of such beneficial interest.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any owner of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note shall not be entitled to receive payment of principal or interest on such beneficial interest or other amounts in respect of such beneficial interest until such beneficial interest is exchanged for an interest in a Permanent Offshore Global Note or transferred for an interest in another Global Note or a Certificated Note.

(i) in each case the redemption takes place not later than 180 days after the closing of the related Equity Offering, and

Section 3.02. Method and Effect of Redemption. (a) If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes, it must notify the Trustee of the redemption date and the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed by delivering an Officer’s Certificate at least 30 days before the redemption date (unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the Trustee), which Officer’s Certificate shall, in addition to all other required information, contain all such information described in Section 3.02(b)(1), 3.02(b)(2) and 3.02(b)(3) hereof. If fewer than all of the Notes are being redeemed, the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed pro rata in accordance with DTC procedures, in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and higher integral multiples of $1,000. The Trustee will notify the Issuer promptly of the Notes or portions of Notes to be called for redemption. Notice of redemption must be sent by the Issuer or at the Issuer’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, to Holders whose Notes are to be redeemed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date.

(6) if any Note is redeemed in part, on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Note, new Notes equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion will be issued;

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

(8) if the redemption is subject to one or more conditions precedent, the nature of such one or more conditions precedent.

(c) Once notice of redemption is sent to the Holders, Notes called for redemption become due and payable at the redemption price on the redemption date, and upon surrender of the Notes called for redemption, the Issuer shall redeem such Notes at the redemption price, subject in each case to the satisfaction of any condition precedent to such redemption. Commencing on the redemption date (and subject to the satisfaction of any condition precedent for the redemption), Notes redeemed will cease to accrue interest, unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, in which case interest will continue to accrue until the redemption price has been paid. Upon surrender of any Note redeemed in part, the Holder will receive a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the surrendered Note.

(5) a Holder may tender all or any portion of its Notes, subject to the requirement that any portion of a Note tendered must be in a multiple of $1,000 principal amount;

(6) the place or places where Notes are to be surrendered for tender pursuant to the Offer to Purchase;

(7) each Holder electing to tender a Note pursuant to the offer will be required to surrender such Note at the place or places specified in the offer prior to the close of business on the expiration date (such Note being, if the Issuer or the Trustee so requires, duly endorsed or accompanied by a duly executed written instrument of transfer);

(9) on the purchase date the purchase price will become due and payable on each Note accepted for purchase, and interest on Notes purchased will cease to accrue on and after the purchase date, unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the purchase price, in which case interest will continue to accrue until the purchase price has been paid;

(10) Holders are entitled to withdraw Notes tendered by giving notice, which must be received by the Issuer or the Trustee not later than the close of business on the expiration date, setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the tendered Notes, the certificate number of the tendered Notes and a statement that the Holder is withdrawing all or a portion of the tender;

(11) (i) if Notes in an aggregate principal amount less than or equal to the purchase amount are duly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, the Issuer will purchase all such Notes, and (ii) if the Offer to Purchase is for less than all of the outstanding Notes and Notes in an aggregate principal amount in excess of the purchase amount are tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the offer, the Issuer will purchase Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the purchase amount on a pro rata basis, with adjustments so that only Notes in multiples of $1,000 principal amount will be purchased;

(c) Prior to the purchase date, the Issuer will accept tendered Notes for purchase as required by the Offer to Purchase and deliver to the Trustee all Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate specifying which Notes have been accepted for purchase. On the purchase date the purchase price will become due and payable on each Note accepted for purchase, and interest on Notes purchased will cease to accrue on and after the purchase date. The Trustee will promptly return to Holders any Notes not accepted for purchase and send to Holders new Notes equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes accepted for purchase in part.

(d) The Issuer will comply with Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, as applicable, and all other applicable laws in making any Offer to Purchase, and the above procedures will be deemed modified as necessary to permit such compliance.

(e) The Issuer will timely repay Debt or obtain consents as necessary under, or terminate, agreements or instruments that would otherwise prohibit an Offer to Purchase required to be made pursuant to this Indenture.

The principal amount of any Debt Incurred to refinance other Debt, if Incurred in a different currency from the Debt being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Debt is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

Section 4.07. Limitation on Restricted Payments. (a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly (the payments and other actions described in the following clauses being collectively “Restricted Payments”):

(2) the Issuer could Incur at least $1.00 of Debt under Section 4.06(a), and

(3) the aggregate amount expended for all Restricted Payments made on or after the Issue Date would not, subject to paragraph (c), exceed the sum of (without duplication):

The amount expended in any Restricted Payment, if other than in cash, will be deemed to be the fair market value of the relevant non-cash assets or property, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination will be conclusive and evidenced by a Board Resolution.

(b) The foregoing will not prohibit:

(x) Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, to the extent that the assets sold were not Collateral, or

When accumulated Excess Proceeds equals or exceeds $20.0 million, the Issuer must, within 30 days, make an Offer to Purchase Notes having a principal amount equal to:

(A) accumulated Excess Proceeds, multiplied by

(B) a fraction (x) the numerator of which is equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and (y) the denominator of which is equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and all pari passu Debt secured by parity liens on the Collateral similarly required to be repaid, redeemed or tendered for in connection with the Asset Sale,

rounded down to the nearest $1,000. The purchase price for the Notes will be 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest to, but excluding, the date of purchase. If the Offer to Purchase is for less than all of the outstanding Notes and Notes in an aggregate principal amount in excess of the purchase amount are tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the offer, the Issuer will purchase Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the purchase amount on a pro rata basis, with adjustments so that only Notes in multiples of $1,000 principal amount (and in a minimum amount of $2,000) will be purchased. The Issuer may satisfy its obligation to make an Offer to Purchase with respect to any Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale by making an Offer to Purchase with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds prior to the expiration of the 365-day period. Upon completion of the Offer to Purchase, Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero, and any Excess Proceeds remaining after consummation of the Offer to Purchase may be used for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture.

Section 4.13. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. (a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, enter into, renew or extend any transaction or arrangement including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of property or assets, or the rendering of any service with any Affiliate of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (a “Related Party Transaction”) involving aggregate payment or consideration in excess of $5.0 million, except upon terms no less favorable to the Issuer or the Restricted Subsidiary than could be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Issuer.

(b) Any Related Party Transaction or series of Related Party Transactions with an aggregate value in excess of $25.0 million must first be approved by a majority of the Board of Directors who are disinterested in the subject matter of the transaction pursuant to a Board Resolution.

(1) any transaction between the Issuer and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or between Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer;

(2) the payment of customary fees to, the out-of-pocket expenses of, and customary indemnities for the benefit of, officers, members of the board of directors or managers, employees or consultants of Parent or Holdings (to the extent attributable to the business of the Issuer);

(3) any Restricted Payments made in accordance with Section 4.07 and Permitted Investments (other than pursuant to clause (3) of the definition thereof);

(4) transactions or payments, including grants of securities, stock options and similar rights, pursuant to any employee, officer or director compensation or benefit plans or arrangements entered into in the ordinary course of business or approved by the Issuer’s Board of Directors in good faith;

(5) transactions pursuant to any contract or agreement in effect on the date of this Indenture, as amended, modified or replaced from time to time so long as any such amendment is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders of Notes when taken as a whole as compared to the applicable agreement as in effect on the date of this Indenture;

(6) (A) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, or transactions otherwise relating to the purchase or sale of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture, or (B) transactions with joint ventures entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice or industry norm;

(7) any transaction in which the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, obtains a favorable written opinion from a nationally recognized investment banking firm as to the fairness of the transaction to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries from a financial point of view;

(8) the entering into of a customary agreement providing registration rights to the direct or indirect shareholders of the Issuer and the performance of such agreements;

(9) the issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer to any Person or any transaction with an Affiliate where the only consideration paid by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary is Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) or any contribution to the capital of the Issuer;

(10) the entering into of any tax sharing agreement or arrangement or any other transactions undertaken in good faith that is consistent with Section 4.07(b)(9)(a)(i);

(11) any employment, consulting, service or termination agreement, or reasonable and customary indemnification arrangements, entered into by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with officers and employees of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are Affiliates of the Issuer and the payment of compensation to such officers and employees (including amounts paid pursuant to employee benefit plans, employee stock option or similar plans) so long as such agreement has been entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(12) payments or loans (or cancellation of loans) to officers, directors, employees or consultants which are approved by a majority of the Issuer’s Board of Directors in good faith;

(13) transactions permitted by, and complying with, the provisions of Article 5, or any merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Issuer with an Affiliate, solely for the purposes of (a) forming a holding company or (b) reincorporating the Issuer in a new jurisdiction;

(14) transactions between the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any Person that is an Affiliate solely because one or more of its directors is also a director of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer; provided that such director abstains from voting as a director of the Issuer or such direct or indirect parent, as the case may be, on any matter involving such other Person; or

(15) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Issuer) that is an Affiliate solely because the Issuer, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, owns Equity Interests in such Person or owes Debt to such Person;

(16) the formation and maintenance of any consolidated group or subgroup for tax, accounting or cash pooling or management purposes in the ordinary course of business; provided that the Board of Directors determines in good faith that the formation and maintenance of such group or subgroup is in the best interests of the Issuer and will not materially adversely affect the Issuer’s ability to perform its obligations under this Indenture; and

(17) loans or advances to officers, directors or employees of the Issuer in the ordinary course of business of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries or guarantees in respect thereof or otherwise made on their behalf (including payment on such guarantees) and only to the extent permitted by applicable law, including the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002.

Section 4.14. Line of Business. The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, to engage in any business other than a Permitted Business, except to an extent that so doing would not be material to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Section 4.15. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. (a) The Issuer may designate any Subsidiary, including a newly acquired or created Subsidiary, to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if it meets the following qualifications and the designation would not cause a Default:

(1) Such Subsidiary does not own any Capital Stock of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Subsidiary of the Subsidiary to be so designated that is being concurrently designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary) or hold any Debt of, or any Lien on any property of, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Subsidiary of the Subsidiary to be so designated that is being concurrently designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary).

(2) At the time of the designation, the designation would be permitted under Section 4.07 or as a Permitted Investment.

(3) To the extent the Debt of the Subsidiary is not Non-Recourse Debt, any Guarantee or other credit support thereof by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary is permitted under Section 4.06 and Section 4.07.

(4) The Subsidiary is not party to any transaction or arrangement with the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that would not be permitted under Section 4.13.

(5) Neither the Issuer nor any Restricted Subsidiary has any obligation to subscribe for additional Equity Interests of the Subsidiary or to maintain or preserve its financial condition or cause it to achieve specified levels of operating results, except to the extent permitted by Section 4.06 and Section 4.07.

Once so designated the Subsidiary will remain an Unrestricted Subsidiary, subject to paragraph (b).

(b) (1) A Subsidiary previously designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary which fails to meet the qualifications set forth in paragraph (a) will be deemed to become at that time a Restricted Subsidiary, subject to the consequences set forth in paragraph (d).

(2) The Issuer may designate an Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if the designation would not cause a Default.

(1) all existing Investments of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries therein (valued at the Issuer’s proportional share of the fair market value of its assets less liabilities) will be deemed to be made at that time;

(2) all existing Capital Stock or Debt of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary held by it will be deemed to be Incurred at that time, and all Liens on property of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary held by it will be deemed to be Incurred at that time;

(3) all existing transactions between it and the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary will be deemed entered into at that time;

(4) it will be released at that time from its Note Guarantee, if any, and the Security Documents; and

(5) it will cease to be subject to the provisions of this Indenture as a Restricted Subsidiary.

(d) Upon an Unrestricted Subsidiary becoming, or being deemed to become, a Restricted Subsidiary,

(1) all of its Debt and Disqualified or Preferred Stock will be deemed to be Incurred at that time for purposes of Section 4.06, but will not be considered the sale or issuance of Equity Interests for purposes of Section 4.12;

(2) Investments therein previously charged under Section 4.07 will be credited thereunder;

(3) it shall issue a Note Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.10 and pledge its assets (other than Excluded Assets) as Collateral for the Notes pursuant to Section 4.20 to the extent required thereby; and

(4) it will thenceforward be subject to the provisions of this Indenture as a Restricted Subsidiary.

(e) Any designation by the Board of Directors of a Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by promptly filing with the Trustee a copy of the Board Resolution giving effect to the designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the designation complied with the foregoing provisions.

Section 4.16. Anti-Layering. Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor may Incur any Debt that is subordinated in right of payment to other Debt of the Issuer or the Guarantor unless such Debt is also subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the relevant Note Guarantee on substantially identical terms. This Section 4.16 does not apply to distinctions between categories of Debt that exist by reason of any Liens or Guarantees securing or in favor of some but not all of such Debt.

Section 4.17. Financial Reports. (a) Whether or not the Issuer is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, so long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Issuer must provide the Trustee and Noteholders, or file electronically with the SEC, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations for non- accelerated filers (including any extension as would be permitted by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act):

(1) all quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Issuer were required to file such reports, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to annual information only, a report thereon by the Issuer’s certified independent accountants, and

(2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Issuer were required to file such reports.

In addition, whether or not required by the SEC, the Issuer will, if the SEC will accept the filing, file a copy of all of the information and reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) with the SEC for public availability within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations for non-accelerated filers (including any extension as would be permitted by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act). In addition, the Issuer will make the information and reports available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request. If the Issuer had any Unrestricted Subsidiaries during the relevant period, the Issuer will also provide to the trustees and the Noteholders information sufficient to ascertain the financial condition and results of operations of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries, excluding in all respects the Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

The financial statements, information and other documents required to be provided as described above, may be those of Parent or any other direct or indirect parent of the Issuer, so long as Parent or such direct or indirect parent of the Issuer shall not conduct, transact or otherwise engage, or commit to conduct, transact or otherwise engage, in any business or operations other than its direct or indirect ownership of all of the Equity Interests in, and its management of, the Issuer.

(b) For so long as any of the Notes remain outstanding and constitute “restricted securities” under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Issuer will furnish to the Holders of the Notes and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

(c) Delivery of these reports and information to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of them will not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

Section 4.18. Reports to Trustee. (a) The Issuer will deliver to the Trustee:

(1) within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year a certificate stating that the Issuer has fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture or, if there has been a Default, specifying the Default and its nature and status; and

(2) within 30 days after the Issuer becomes aware of the occurrence of a Default, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the details of the Default, and (unless such Default has already been cured or waived) the action which the Issuer proposes to take with respect thereto.

(b) The Issuer will notify the Trustee when any Notes are listed on any national securities exchange and of any delisting.

Section 4.19. Suspension of Certain Covenants. If at any time after the Issue Date (i) the Notes are rated Investment Grade by each of S&P and ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ (or, if either (or both) of S&P and ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ have been substituted in accordance with the definition of “Rating Agencies”, by each of the then applicable Rating Agencies) and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the covenants in Sections 4.06, 4.07, 4.09, 4.10, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14 and 5.01(a)(ii)(3) (the “Suspended Covenants”).

Additionally, at such time as the above referenced covenants are suspended (a “Suspension Period”), the Issuer will no longer be permitted to designate any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary unless the Issuer would have been permitted to designate such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if a Suspension Period had not been in effect for any period and such designation shall be deemed to have created a Restricted Payment as set forth under Section 4.07 following the Reversion Date.

In the event that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) the condition set forth in clause (i) of the first paragraph of this section is no longer satisfied, then the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events.

On each Reversion Date, all Debt incurred during the Suspension Period prior to such Reversion Date will be deemed to be Debt incurred pursuant to Section 4.06(b)(8). For purposes of calculating the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a)(3), calculations under such covenant shall be made as though such covenant had been in effect during the entire period of time after the Issue Date, but not during the Suspension Period. Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will not reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a)(3) and items specified in subclauses (A) through (D) of Section 4.07(a)(3) during the Suspension Period will not increase the amount available to be made thereunder. For purposes of Section 4.12, on the Reversion Date, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero.

Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during a Suspension Period (or on the Reversion Date after a Suspension Period based solely on events that occurred during the Suspension Period).

In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to occur as a result of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries honoring any contractual commitments to take actions in the future after a Reversion Date as long as such contractual commitments were entered into during the Suspension Period and not in anticipation of the Suspended Covenants no longer being suspended.

Section 4.20. Further Assurances; Costs.

(a) If the Issuer or any Guarantor at any time after the Issue Date acquires any new property (other than Excluded Assets) that is not automatically subject to a perfected Lien under the Security Documents, or a Restricted Subsidiary becomes a Guarantor, the Issuer will, or will cause such Guarantor to, subject to the requirements of the Security Documents, promptly (and in any event within 30 days after such property’s acquisition or it no longer being Excluded Assets, or, in any case, such longer time period as is permitted pursuant to the First-Priority Security Documents):

(i) ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇▇ on such property (or, in the case of a new Guarantor, all of its assets except Excluded Assets) to the Second Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the holders of Second-Priority Lien Obligations; and

(ii) deliver any required supplement to the Security Agreement and any required Mortgages necessary to grant security interests in such property, and, in the case of real property, Mortgage Deliverables or Additional Mortgage Deliverables, as applicable, and cause such Lien to be perfected to the extent required by the Security Documents.

Any security interest provided pursuant to this Section 4.20(a) that requires execution of a new Mortgage shall be accompanied by such Opinions of Counsel as to the enforceability of such Mortgage and the validity and perfection of the Liens on such property as is customarily given by counsel in the relevant jurisdiction, in form and substance customary for such jurisdiction and with customary qualifications and exceptions.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in clause (a) or elsewhere in this Indenture or any Security Document, the Issuer shall not be required to take any Excluded Action.

(c) Neither the Issuer nor any of the Guarantors will be permitted to take any action, or knowingly or negligently omit to take any action, which action or omission might or would have the result of materially impairing the security interest with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes.

provided that clauses (2) and (3) do not apply (i) to the consolidation or merger of the Issuer with or into a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary, the consolidation or merger of a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary with or into the Issuer or to the sale, conveyance, transfer, or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets (determined on a consolidated basis for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries) to a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor, or (ii) if in the good faith determination of the

Board of Directors, whose determination is evidenced by a Board Resolution, the sole purpose of the transaction is to change the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate with, merge with or into or sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of its assets to the Issuer.

(b) The Issuer shall not lease all or substantially all of its assets, whether in one transaction or a series of transactions, to one or more other Persons.

(C) the transaction constitutes a sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of the Guarantor or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Guarantor (in each case other than to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) otherwise permitted by this Indenture.

Section 5.03. Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets by Parent or Holdings. Neither Parent nor Holdings will:

(i) consolidate with or merge with or into any Person (whether or not Parent or Holdings is the surviving Person), or

ARTICLE 6

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

(1) the Issuer defaults in the payment of the principal of any Note when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon acceleration or redemption, or otherwise (other than pursuant to an Offer to Purchase);

(2) the Issuer defaults in the payment of interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and the default continues for a period of 30 days;

(5) there occurs with respect to any Debt of the Issuer or any Significant Restricted Subsidiary (other than Debt owing to Parent, Holdings, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) having an outstanding principal amount of $30.0 million or more in the aggregate for all such Debt of all such Persons (i) an event of default that results in the acceleration of such Debt prior to its express maturity or (ii) failure to make a principal payment when due and such defaulted payment is not made, waived or extended within the applicable grace period;

(6) one or more final judgments or orders for the payment of money are rendered against Parent, Holdings, the Issuer or any Significant Restricted Subsidiary by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction and are not paid or discharged, and there is a period of 60 consecutive days following entry of the final judgment or order that causes the aggregate amount for all such final judgments or orders outstanding and not paid or discharged against all such Persons to exceed $30.0 million (in excess of amounts which insurance carriers of Parent, Holdings, the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiaries are not challenging under applicable policies or to the extent not covered by indemnities provided by reputable creditworthy companies) during which a stay of enforcement, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, is not in effect;

(7) an involuntary case or other proceeding is commenced against Parent, Holdings, the Issuer or any Significant Restricted Subsidiary with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, and such involuntary case or other proceeding remains undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or an order for relief is entered against Parent, Holdings, the Issuer or any Significant Restricted Subsidiary under the federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter in effect;

(9) any Note Guarantee of a Significant Restricted Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect, other than in accordance the terms of this Indenture, or a Guarantor that is a Significant Restricted Subsidiary denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee; or

(10) (a) the Liens created by the Security Documents securing the Notes or Note Guarantees thereof shall at any time not constitute valid and perfected Liens on any portion of the Collateral (with a fair market value in excess of $30.0 million) intended to be covered thereby (to the extent perfection by filing, registration, recordation or possession is required by this Indenture or the Security Documents) other than in accordance with the terms of the relevant Security Document and this Indenture and other than the satisfaction in full of all Obligations under this Indenture or release or amendment of any such Lien in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or the Security Documents, (b) except for expiration in accordance with its terms or amendment, modification, waiver, termination or release in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the relevant Security Document, any of the Security Documents shall for whatever reason be terminated or cease to be in full force and effect, if, in either case, such default continues for 30 days after notice or (c) the enforceability thereof shall be contested by the Issuer or any Guarantor.

Section 6.02. Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default, other than a bankruptcy default with respect to Parent, Holdings or the Issuer, occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if the notice is given by the Holders), may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of and accrued interest on the Notes to be immediately due and payable. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal and interest will become immediately due and payable. If a bankruptcy default occurs with respect to Parent, Holdings or the Issuer, the principal of and accrued interest on the Notes then outstanding will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

(b) The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Issuer and to the Trustee may waive all past defaults and rescind and annul a declaration of acceleration and its consequences if:

(1) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that have become due solely by the declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived, and

(2) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes solely because an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(5) has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the Event of Default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(5) shall be remedied or cured by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary or waived (and the related declaration of acceleration rescinded or annulled) by the holders of the relevant Debt, or the Debt that gave rise to such Event of Default shall have been discharged in full, within 30 Business Days after the declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes and if the rescission and annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Trustee for the payment of amounts due on the Notes.

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

Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.02, 6.07 and 9.02, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, by notice to the Trustee (with a copy to the Issuer, but the applicable waiver or rescission shall be effective when the notice is given to the Trustee), waive an existing Default and its consequences. Upon such waiver, the Default will cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom will be deemed to have been cured, but no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that may involve the Trustee in personal liability, or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders of Notes not joining in the giving of such direction, and may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of Notes.

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. A Holder may not institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under this Indenture or the Notes, unless:

(1) the Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(2) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of the Event of Default in its own name as Trustee under this Indenture;

(3) Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liabilities or expenses to be incurred in compliance with such request;

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

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

Section 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the right of a Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of or interest on its Note on or after the Stated Maturities thereof, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, may not be impaired or affected without the consent of that Holder.

Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default in payment of principal or interest specified in clause (1) or (2) of Section 6.01 occurs and is continuing, without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding related thereto, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal, overdue premium, if any, and overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate specified in the Notes, and such further amount as is sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder (including without limitation, any amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof).

Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Issuer or any Guarantor or their respective creditors or property, and is entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money, securities or other property payable or deliverable upon conversion or exchange of the Notes or upon any such claims. Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other

similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, if the Trustee consents to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder. Nothing in this Indenture will be deemed to empower the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article, including upon exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First: to the Trustee for all amounts due to it under Section 7.07;

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

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

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

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

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

Section 6.13. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy conferred or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders under the Indenture is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and all such rights and remedies are, to the extent permitted

by law, cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, will not prevent the concurrent assertion or exercise of any other right or remedy.

Section 6.14. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default will impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 6.15. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Issuer and each Guarantor covenants, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Issuer or the Guarantor from paying all or any portion of the principal of, or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or that may affect the covenants or the performance of the Indenture. The Issuer and each Guarantor hereby expressly waives, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise those rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his 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.

Section 7.02. Certain Rights of Trustee.

(1) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may rely, and will be protected in acting or refraining from acting, upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document, but, in the case of any document which is specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee pursuant to any provision hereof, the Trustee shall examine the document to determine whether it conforms to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein). The Trustee, in its discretion, may make further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it sees fit.

(2) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel conforming to Section 14.05 and the Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.

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

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

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

(6) The Trustee may consult with counsel, and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

(7) No provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of its rights or powers, unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

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

(9) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.

(10) The Trustee shall not be required to give a note, bond or surety in respect of the trusts and powers under this Indenture.

Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee. However, in the event the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest, it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Section 7.10 hereof.

Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee (i) makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, (ii) is not accountable for the Issuer’s use or application of the proceeds from the Notes and (iii) is not responsible for any statement in the Notes other than its certificate of authentication.

Section 7.05. Notice of Default. If any Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee will send notice of the Default to each Holder within 90 days after it becomes known to the Trustee, unless the Default has been cured; provided that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Holders.

Section 7.06. [Intentionally Omitted]

Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. (a) The Issuer will pay the Trustee compensation as agreed to from time to time for its services. The compensation of the Trustee is not limited by any law on compensation of a Trustee of an express trust. The Issuer will reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel, except for expenses, disbursements and advances as shall have been caused by the Trustee’s negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) The Issuer will indemnify the Trustee for, and hold it harmless against, any loss or liability or expense incurred by it without negligence or willful misconduct on its part arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture and its duties under this Indenture and the Notes, including the reasonable and documented costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability and of complying with any process served upon it or any of its officers in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Indenture and the Notes.

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

Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. (a) (1) The Trustee may resign at any time by written notice to the Issuer.

(2) The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by written notice to the Trustee.

(3) If the Trustee is no longer eligible under Section 7.10, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(4) The Issuer may remove the Trustee if: (i) the Trustee is no longer eligible under Section 7.10; (ii) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent; (iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or (iv) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section.

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

(c) Upon delivery by the successor Trustee of a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer, (i) the retiring Trustee will transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07, (ii) the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and (iii) the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. Upon request of any successor Trustee, the Issuer will execute any and all instruments for fully and vesting in and confirming to the successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts. The Issuer will give notice of any resignation and any removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders, and include in the notice the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

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

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

Section 7.10. Eligibility. The Indenture must always have a Trustee that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

Section 7.11. Money Held in Trust. The Trustee will not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as it may agree with the Issuer. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law and except for money held in trust under Article 8.

ARTICLE 9

(11) to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of the Notes as permitted by this Indenture, provided that (i) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in violation of any applicable securities law and (ii) such amendment does not materially adversely affect the rights of the Holders of the Notes to transfer Notes.

Section 9.02. Amendments with Consent of Holders. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.02, 6.04, 6.07 and 9.01 or paragraph (b) of this Section 9.02, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Second-Lien Collateral Agent may amend this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees and the Second-Priority Security Documents with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes and the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may waive future compliance by the Issuer with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or any Guarantor with any provision of its Note Guarantee (which may include consents or waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes).

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a), without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not:

(1) reduce the principal amount of or change the Stated Maturity of any installment of principal of any Note,

(2) reduce the rate of or change the Stated Maturity of any interest payment on any Note,

(8) modify or change any provision of this Indenture affecting the ranking of the Notes or any Note Guarantee in a manner materially adverse to the Holders of the Notes.

(c) In addition, the Intercreditor Agreement provides that, subject to certain exceptions, any amendment, waiver or consent to any of the First-Priority Security Documents will apply automatically to the comparable Second-Priority Security Documents.

(d) In addition, without the consent of the Holders of at least 66²⁄₃% in principal amount of Notes then outstanding, no amendment, supplement or waiver may modify any Security Document or the provisions in this Indenture dealing with the Collateral or the Security Documents that would have the impact of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents (except as permitted by the terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents).

(e) It is not necessary for Noteholders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but is sufficient if their consent approves the substance thereof.

(f) An amendment, supplement or waiver under Section 9.01 or this Section 9.02 will become effective on receipt by the Trustee of written consents from the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under Section 9.01 or this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer will send to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. The Issuer will send supplemental indentures to Holders upon request. Any failure of the Issuer to send such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.

Section 9.03. Effect of Consent. (a) After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it will bind every Holder unless it is of the type requiring the consent of each Holder affected. If the amendment, supplement or waiver is of the type requiring the consent of each Holder affected, the amendment, supplement or waiver will bind each Holder that has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note that evidences the same debt as the Note of the consenting Holder.

(b) If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee so that the Trustee may place an appropriate notation of the changed terms on the Note and return it to the Holder, or exchange it for a new Note that reflects the changed terms. The Trustee may also place an appropriate notation on any Note thereafter authenticated. However, the effectiveness of the amendment, supplement or waiver is not affected by any failure to annotate or exchange Notes in this fashion.

Section 9.04. Trustee’s Rights and Obligations. The Trustee is entitled to receive, and will be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. If the Trustee has received such an Opinion of Counsel, it shall sign the amendment, supplement or waiver so long as the same does not adversely affect the rights of the Trustee. The Trustee may, but is not obligated to, execute any amendment, supplement or waiver that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel will be required for the Trustee to execute any amendment or supplement adding a new Guarantor under this Indenture.

RANKING OF LIENS

Section 10.01. Agreement for the Benefit of Holders of First-Priority Liens. The Trustee and the Second-Lien Collateral Agent agree, and each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note agrees, that:

(a) the Liens securing the Second-Priority Lien Obligations upon any and all Collateral are, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Intercreditor Agreement, subordinate in ranking to all present and future First-Priority Liens; and

(b) the agreements as to the ranking of the Second-Priority Liens set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement:

(1) are enforceable by the holders of First-Priority Liens, for the benefit of the holders of First-Priority Lien Obligations secured thereby; and

(2) will remain enforceable by the holders of First-Priority Liens until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement).

(c) without the necessity of any consent of, or notice to, the Trustee or any holder of Second-Priority Lien Obligations, the Issuer, the Restricted Subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent may amend, modify, supplement or terminate any Security Document, subject to the limitations set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement; provided that the Issuer will notify the Trustee and the Second-Lien Collateral Agent of any such amendment, modification, supplement or termination (but the failure to provide such notice shall not affect the applicability, validity or enforceability of such amendment);

(d) as among the Second-Lien Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the holders of Second-Priority Lien Obligations and the holders of the First-Priority Lien Obligations, the holders of the First-Priority Lien Obligations and the First-Lien Collateral Agent will have the sole ability to control and obtain remedies with respect to all Collateral without the necessity of any consent of or notice to the Second-Lien Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any such holder, as set forth in more detail in the Intercreditor Agreement;

(e) any or all Liens as set forth in, and granted under the Security Documents for the benefit of the Holders will be automatically and unconditionally released, without the necessity of any consent of the Second-Lien Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Holders, upon a release of the First-Priority Liens on such Collateral, but only to the extent set forth in Section 5.1 of the Intercreditor Agreement; and

(f) the Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees and the Security Documents are subject to the Intercreditor Agreement.

Section 10.02. Notes, Guarantees and Other Second-Priority Lien Obligations not Subordinated. The provisions of this Article 10 are intended solely to set forth the relative ranking, as Liens, of the Second-Priority Liens as against the First-Priority Liens. The Notes and Guarantees are senior obligations of the Issuer and Guarantors. Neither the Notes, the Guarantees or other Second-Priority Lien Obligations nor the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy for the payment or collection thereof (other than the exercise of rights and remedies of a secured party, which are subject to the Intercreditor Agreement) are intended to be, or will ever be by reason of the provisions of this Article 10, in any respect subordinated, deferred, postponed, restricted or prejudiced.

Section 10.03. Relative Rights. The Intercreditor Agreement defines the relative rights, as lienholders, of holders of Second-Priority Liens and holders of First-Priority Liens. Nothing in this Indenture or the Intercreditor Agreement will:

(a) impair, as between the Issuer and Holders of Notes, the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, premium and interest on the Notes in accordance with their terms or to perform any other obligation of the Issuer or any other obligor under this Indenture, Notes, Guarantees and Security Documents;

(b) restrict the right of any Holder of Notes to ▇▇▇ for payments that are then due and owing;

(c) prevent the Trustee, the Second-Lien Collateral Agent or any Holder of Notes from exercising against the Issuer or any other obligor any of its other available remedies upon a Default or Event of Default (other than its rights as a secured party, which are subject to the Intercreditor Agreement); or

(d) restrict the right of the Trustee, the Second-Lien Collateral Agent or any Holder of Notes:

(1) to file and prosecute a petition seeking an order for relief in an involuntary bankruptcy case as to any obligor or otherwise to commence, or seek relief commencing, any insolvency or liquidation proceeding involuntarily against any obligor;

(2) to make, support or oppose any request for an order for dismissal, abstention or conversion in any insolvency or liquidation proceeding;

(3) to make, support or oppose, in any insolvency or liquidation proceeding, any request for an order extending or terminating any period during which the debtor (or any other Person) has the exclusive right to propose a plan of reorganization or other dispositive restructuring or liquidation plan therein;

(4) to seek the creation of, or appointment to, any official committee representing creditors (or certain of the creditors) in any insolvency or liquidation proceedings and, if appointed, to serve and act as a member of such committee without being in any respect restricted or bound by, or liable for, any of the obligations under this Article 10;

(5) to seek or object to the appointment of any professional person to serve in any capacity in any insolvency or liquidation proceeding or to support or object to any request for compensation made by any professional person or others therein;

(6) to make, support or oppose any request for order appointing a trustee or examiner in any insolvency or liquidation proceedings; or

(7) otherwise to make, support or oppose any request for relief in any insolvency or liquidation proceeding that it is permitted by law to make, support or oppose:

(x) if it were a holder of unsecured claims; or

(y) as to any matter relating to any plan of reorganization or other restructuring or liquidation plan or as to any matter relating to the administration of the estate or the disposition of the case or proceeding;

in each case, except as set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement.

the Collateral (subject to the terms of the Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, any other intercreditor agreement entered into pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and the Security Documents), in favor of the Second Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of itself, the Holders and the Trustee subject to no Liens other than Permitted Liens.

Notwithstanding the foregoing,

(i) if the Issuer is unable to provide a Mortgage on any real property or any applicable Mortgage Deliverables on the Issue Date, the Issuer need not provide such Mortgage and Mortgage Deliverables on such date, but shall use commercially reasonable efforts to do so as promptly as practicable and in any event within 90 days from such date; and

(ii) if, at the time the Issuer acquires any new property (other than Excluded Assets) as a result of which the Issuer is required to deliver a Mortgage in respect of such property pursuant to Section 4.20(a), the Credit Agreement is no longer outstanding, then the Issuer shall deliver (A) the items specified in clauses (i), (iii) and (iv) and, to the extent applicable, clause (v) above and (B) a current survey of such property, together with a surveyor’s certificate in customary form, or a copy of a survey previously conducted on such property along with a “no change” affidavit sufficient for the title company to provide full survey coverage (“Additional Mortgage Deliverables”).

(4) in whole or in part, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Article 9;

(5) in part, as to any property constituting Collateral that is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Issuer or one of the Restricted Subsidiaries to any Person other than Parent, Holdings, the Issuer or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (but excluding any transaction subject to Article 5 where the recipient is required to become the obligor on the Notes or a Guarantor) in a transaction permitted by the Indenture, the Second-Priority Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement (with respect to the Lien on such Collateral), at the time of such sale, transfer or disposition, to the extent of the interest sold, transferred or disposed of;

(6) in part, as to any property constituting Collateral that becomes an Excluded Asset, at the time thereof;

(7) prior to the discharge of the First-Priority Lien Obligations and except in connection therewith, at the time any property constituting Collateral is not secured by a First-Priority Lien or such First-Priority Lien is subordinated to another Lien (provided that such subordination and the related senior Lien are permitted under the terms of the this Indenture and the Security Documents, or such senior Lien is so permitted and should have senior priority-ranking pursuant to the operation of law); and

(8) otherwise in accordance with, or as expressly provided for under, the Security Documents.

(b) With respect to any release of Collateral, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent under the Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, to such release have been met and that it is proper for the Trustee or Second Lien Collateral Agent to execute and deliver the documents requested by the Issuer in connection with such release, and any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release prepared by the Issuer, the Trustee shall, or shall cause the Second Lien Collateral Agent to, execute, deliver or acknowledge (at the Issuer’s sole expense) such instruments or releases to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to the Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall be liable for any such release undertaken in reliance upon any such Officer’s Certificate, and notwithstanding any term hereof or in any Security Document or in the Intercreditor Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee and the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to release any such Lien and security interest, or execute and deliver any such instrument of release, satisfaction or termination, unless and until it receives such Officer’s Certificate.

(c) All instruments effectuating or confirming any release or subordination of any Second-Priority Liens will have the effect solely of releasing or subordinating such Second-Priority Liens as to the Collateral described therein without any representation or warranty by the Trustee or Second Lien Collateral Agent.

(d) Any release of Collateral permitted by this Section 11.03 or the Security Documents will be deemed not to impair the Liens under the Indenture and the Security Documents in contravention thereof and any person that is required to deliver a certificate or opinion under the Indenture or the Security Documents shall be entitled to rely upon the foregoing as a basis for delivery of such certificate or opinion. The Trustee may, to the extent permitted by Section 7.01 and 7.02, accept as conclusive evidence of compliance with the foregoing provisions the appropriate statements contained in such documents and/or opinion.

(e) If any Collateral is released in accordance with the Indenture or any Security Document at a time when the Trustee is not itself also the Second Lien Collateral Agent and if the Issuer has delivered the certificates and documents required by the Security Documents and permitted to be delivered by this Section 11.03 (if any), the Trustee will instruct the Second Lien Collateral Agent to execute and deliver such documents effectuating or confirming such release.

Section 11.04. Suits to Protect the Collateral. Subject to the provisions of Article 6 and 7 hereof and the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee, without the consent of the Holders, on behalf of the Holders, may or may direct the Second Lien Collateral Agent to take all actions it determines in order to:

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

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

Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee and the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall have power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may determine to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of any of the Security Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may determine to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral. Nothing in this Section 11.04 shall be considered to impose any such duty or obligation to act on the part of the Trustee or the Second Lien Collateral Agent.

Section 11.05. Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Trustee Under the Security Documents. Subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed under the Security Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders according to the provisions of this Indenture.

In no event shall any purchaser in good faith of any property purported to be released hereunder be bound to ascertain the authority of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Trustee to execute the release or to inquire as to the satisfaction of any conditions required by the provisions hereof for the exercise of such authority or to see to the application of any consideration given by such purchaser or other transferee; nor shall any purchaser or other transferee of any property or rights permitted by this Article 11 to be sold be under any obligation to ascertain or inquire into the authority of the Issuer or the applicable Guarantor to make any such sale or other transfer.

Section 11.07. 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 11 upon the Issuer or a Guarantor with respect to the release, 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 Issuer or a Guarantor or of any Officer or Officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article 11; and if the Trustee shall be in the possession of the Collateral under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Trustee.

Section 11.08. Release Upon Termination of the Issuer’s Obligations. In the event that the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying that (i) payment in full of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any, on, the Notes and all other Obligations under this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees and the Security Documents that are due and payable at or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, are paid or (ii) the Issuer shall have exercised legal or covenant defeasance in compliance with Article 8, and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of such notice by the Trustee have been satisfied, the Trustee shall deliver to the Issuer and the Second Lien Collateral Agent a notice stating that the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders, disclaims and gives up any and all rights it has in or to the Collateral (other than with respect to funds held by the Trustee pursuant to Article 8), and any rights it has under the Security Documents, and upon receipt by the Second Lien Collateral Agent of such notice, all Liens in the Collateral securing the Obligations under this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees and the Security Documents shall automatically be released and the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to hold a Lien in the Collateral on behalf of the Trustee and shall do or cause to be done (at the expense of the Issuer) all acts reasonably necessary or reasonably requested by the Issuer to release such Lien as soon as is reasonably practicable.

Section 11.09. Second Lien Collateral Agent.

(a) The Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby designates and appoints the Second Lien Collateral Agent as its agent under this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and the Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby irrevocably authorizes the Second Lien Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Second Lien Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, and consents and agrees to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and each Security Document, as the same may be in effect or may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their respective terms. The Second Lien Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 11.09. The provisions of this Section 11.09 are solely for the benefit of the Second Lien Collateral Agent and none of the Trustee (unless acting in the capacity of the Second Lien Collateral Agent), any of the Holders nor any of the Issuer or Guarantors shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein other than as expressly provided in Section 11.04. Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Second Lien Collateral Agent in accordance

with the provision of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Second Lien Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be authorized and binding upon all Holders. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, the duties of the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Security Documents to which the Second Lien Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Second Lien Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Trustee or any Holder, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement or otherwise exist against the Second Lien Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Second Lien Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

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

(c) None of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any of its Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own negligence or willful misconduct) or under or in connection with any Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Trustee or any Holder for any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer, or any Officer or Related Person thereof, contained in this Indenture, or any other Security Documents, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Second Lien Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, or for any failure of party to this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. None of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any of

its respective Related Persons shall be under any obligation to the Trustee or any Holder to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement or to inspect the properties, books, or records of the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer or a Guarantor.

(d) The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, certification, telephone message, statement, or other communication, document or conversation (including those by telephone or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Issuer or any Guarantor), independent accountants and other experts and advisors selected by the Second Lien Collateral Agent. The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document. The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement unless it shall first receive direction from the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes as it determines and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Holders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with a request, direction, instruction or consent of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders.

(e) The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless an officer of the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee or the Issuer referring to this Indenture, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee in accordance with Article 6 or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (subject to this Section 12.09).

(f) The Second Lien Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notice to the Trustee and the Issuer, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Second Lien Collateral Agent. If the Second Lien Collateral Agent resigns under this Indenture, the Issuer shall appoint a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the intended effective date of the resignation of the Second Lien Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Second Lien Collateral Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Trustee, subject to the consent of the Issuer (which shall not be unreasonably

100

withheld and which shall not be required during a continuing Event of Default), a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed and consented to by the Issuer pursuant to the preceding sentence within 30 days after the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Second Lien Collateral Agent, and the term “Second Lien Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring Second Lien Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Second Lien Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 11.09 (and Section 7.07) shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Second Lien Collateral Agent under this Indenture.

(g) U.S. Bank National Association will initially act as Second Lien Collateral Agent (together with any successor pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.09, the “Second Lien Collateral Agent”) and shall be authorized to appoint co- Second Lien Collateral Agents as necessary in its sole discretion. Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein or in the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, neither the Second Lien Collateral Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents or other Related Persons shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Second Lien Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own negligence or willful misconduct.

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

101

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

(k) The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders (and the Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Holders) to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Issuer or any Guarantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Second Lien Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all or the Issuer’s or Guarantors’ property constituting collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Security Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Second Lien Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture, any Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreement other than pursuant to the instructions of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes or as otherwise provided in the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to the Trustee or any Holder as to any of the foregoing.

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

102

(m) If the Issuer or any Guarantor incurs any obligations in respect of Debt secured by Liens ranking junior to the Second Priority Liens and delivers to the Second Lien Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate so stating and requesting the Second Lien Collateral Agent to enter into an intercreditor agreement (on terms that are customary for such financings as determined by the Issuer in good faith reflecting the subordination of such Liens to the Liens secured by Notes and Guarantees) in favor of a designated agent or representative for the holders of the Debt secured by Liens ranking junior to the Second Priority Liens so incurred, the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby authorized and directed to) enter into such intercreditor agreement (at the sole expense and cost of the Issuer, including legal fees and expenses of the Second Lien Collateral Agent), bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein and perform and observe its obligations thereunder.

(n) No provision of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Security Document shall require the Second Lien Collateral Agent (or the Trustee) to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Holders (or the Trustee in the case of the Second Lien Collateral Agent) unless it shall have received indemnity satisfactory to the Second Lien Collateral Agent against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Second Lien Collateral Agent relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents, in the event the Second Lien Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under the mortgages or take any such other action if the Second Lien Collateral Agent has determined that the Second Lien Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances unless the Second Lien Collateral Agent has received security or indemnity from the Holders in an amount and in a form all satisfactory to the Second Lien Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, protecting the Second Lien Collateral Agent from all such liability. The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this clause if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Issuer or the Holders to be sufficient.

(o) The Second Lien Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents or instrument referred to herein or therein, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Second Lien Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Issuer (and money held in trust by the Second Lien Collateral Agent need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law) and (iii) may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith and reliance upon the advice or opinion of such counsel. The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act.

103

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

(q) Neither the Second Lien Collateral Agent nor the Trustee assumes any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Issuer or any Guarantor under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents. Neither the Second Lien Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be responsible to the Holders or any other Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any Security Document or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Second Lien Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Security Document; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of the Intercreditor Agreement and any Security Documents of any other party thereto; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Obligations; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its Obligations under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents. The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to any Holder or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any obligor of any terms of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and any Security Documents. The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents unless expressly set forth hereunder or thereunder. The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from the Holders with respect to the administration of the Security Documents.

(r) The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation,

104

operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of the Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Security Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under the Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents, the Second Lien Collateral Agent may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Second Lien Collateral Agent in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral.

(s) Upon the receipt by the Second Lien Collateral Agent of a written request of the Issuer signed by two Officers (a “Security Document Order”), the Second Lien Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and enter into, and shall execute and enter into, without the further consent of any Holder or the Trustee, any Security Document to be executed after the Issue Date; provided that in no event shall the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall be required to enter into any Security Document that adversely affects its rights, protections and immunities or unreasonably imposes obligations upon the Second Lien Collateral Agent. Such Security Document Order shall (i) state that it is being delivered to the Second Lien Collateral Agent pursuant to, and is a Security Document Order referred to in, this Section 11.09(s), and (ii) instruct the Second Lien Collateral Agent to execute and enter into such Security Document. Any such execution of a Security Document shall be at the direction and expense of the Issuer, upon delivery to the Second Lien Collateral Agent of an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of the Security Document have been satisfied and it is permitted by this Indenture. The Holders, by their acceptance of the Notes, hereby authorize and direct the Second Lien Collateral Agent to execute such Security Documents.

(t) Subject to the provisions of the applicable Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, agrees that the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents to which it is a party and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto, and act in accordance with the terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall have no discretion under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents and shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or direction without the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes or the Trustee, as applicable.

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

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

105

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

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

(y) Before the Second Lien Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting in each case at the request or direction of the Issuer or the Guarantors, it may require an Officer’s Certificate, which shall conform to the provisions of Section 14.04. The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.

(z) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall act pursuant to the instructions of the Holders and the Trustee solely with respect to the Security Documents and the Collateral.

Section 11.10. Designations. Except as provided in the next sentence, for purposes of the provisions hereof and the Intercreditor Agreement requiring the Issuer to designate Debt for the purposes of the term “First Priority Lien Obligations,” “Future First-Lien Indebtedness,” “Second Priority Lien Obligations,” “Future Second-Lien Indebtedness” or any other such designations hereunder or under the Intercreditor

106

Agreement, any such designation shall be sufficient if the relevant designation is set forth in writing, signed on behalf of the Issuer by an Officer and delivered to the Trustee and the Second Lien Collateral Agent. For all purposes hereof and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Issuer hereby designates the Obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement as “First Priority Lien Obligations.”

Section 11.11. Indemnity and Compensation. The Issuer shall indemnify the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any predecessor Second Lien Collateral Agent against any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, fines, liabilities or expenses, including incidental and out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees (for purposes of this Article 11, “Losses”) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture and the Security Documents, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture and the Security Documents against the Issuer (including this Section 11.11) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent such losses may be attributable to its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

ARTICLE 12

GUARANTEES

Section 12.01. The Guarantees. Subject to the provisions of this Article, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis, the full and punctual payment (whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption, purchase pursuant to an Offer to Purchase or acceleration, or otherwise) of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on, and all other amounts payable under, each Note, and the full and punctual payment of all other amounts payable by the Issuer under this Indenture. Upon failure by the Issuer to pay punctually any such amount, each Guarantor shall forthwith on demand pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified in the Indenture.

Section 12.02. Guarantee Unconditional. Other than as provided for in Article 8 and this Article 12, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, will not be released, discharged, except pursuant to Article 8, or otherwise affected by:

(1) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of the Issuer under this Indenture or any Note, by operation of law or otherwise;

(2) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Indenture or any Note;

(3) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Issuer, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Issuer or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Issuer contained in this Indenture or any Note;

107

(4) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Guarantor may have at any time against the Issuer, the Trustee or any other Person, whether in connection with this Indenture or any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein prevents the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

(5) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Issuer for any reason of this Indenture or any Note, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Issuer of the principal of or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Issuer under this Indenture; or

(6) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Issuer, the Trustee or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

Section 12.03. Discharge; Reinstatement. Each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder will remain in full force and effect until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Issuer under this Indenture have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Issuer under this Indenture is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment will be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

Section 12.04. Waiver by the Guarantors. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Issuer or any other Person.

Section 12.05. Subrogation and Contribution. Upon making any payment with respect to any obligation of the Issuer under this Article, the Guarantor making such payment will be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Issuer with respect to such obligation, provided that the Guarantor may not enforce either any right of subrogation, or any right to receive payment in the nature of contribution, or otherwise, from any other Guarantor, with respect to such payment so long as any amount payable by the Issuer hereunder or under the Notes remains unpaid.

Section 12.06. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Issuer under this Indenture or the Notes is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Indenture are nonetheless payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Trustee or the Holders.

108

Section 12.07. Limitation on Amount of Guarantee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent conveyance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law. To effectuate that intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under its Note Guarantee are limited to the maximum amount that would not render the Guarantor’s obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law.

Section 12.08. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. The execution by each Guarantor of this Indenture (or a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit B) evidences the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor, whether or not the person signing as an officer of the Guarantor still holds that office at the time of authentication of any Note. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee after authentication constitutes due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of each Guarantor.

Section 12.09. Release of Guarantee. The Note Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor will terminate upon:

(1) a sale or other disposition (including by way of stock issuance, consolidation or merger) of the Subsidiary Guarantor or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Subsidiary Guarantor (other than to Parent, Holdings, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) otherwise permitted by this Indenture;

(2) the designation in accordance with this Indenture of the Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or the Guarantor otherwise ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with this Indenture,

(3) in the case of any Domestic Restricted Subsidiary that after the Issue Date is required to provide a Note Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.10, the release or discharge of the Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary of Debt of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary or the repayment of the Debt, which resulted in the obligation to provide a Note Guarantee, except if the release or discharge is by or as a result of payment under such other Guarantee,

(4) defeasance or discharge of the Notes, as provided pursuant to Article 8, or

(5) as otherwise provided in the Intercreditor Agreement.

The Note Guarantee of Parent or Holdings will terminate upon defeasance or discharge of the Notes, as provided pursuant to Article 8.

109

Upon delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate to the foregoing effect, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of the Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee. Upon release of a Note Guarantee of a Guarantor, such Guarantor will also be immediately and unconditionally released from all its obligations under the Second Lien Security Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the consent nor the acknowledgment of the Trustee shall be necessary to effect any such release. Neither the Trustee, the Issuer nor any Guarantor will be required to make a notation on the Notes to reflect any such release, termination or discharge.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent to amendment, supplement or waiver or other action provided by the Indenture to be given or taken by a Holder (an “act”) may be evidenced by an instrument signed by the Holder delivered to the Trustee. The fact and date of the execution of the instrument, or the authority of the person executing it, may be proved in any manner that the Trustee deems sufficient.

(b) The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of Holders, which will be binding on all the Holders.

(c) Any act by the Holder of any Note binds that Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note that evidences the same debt as the Note of the acting Holder, even if no notation thereof appears on the Note. Subject to paragraph (d), a Holder may revoke an act as to its Notes, but only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver or other consequence of the act becomes effective.

(d) The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding clause (a), those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date. Notices.

Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or PDF shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

Section 14.11. Separability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

The Issuer promises to pay the principal of this Note on December 15, 2020.

The Issuer promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note on each interest payment date, as set forth on the face of this Note, at the rate of 10.250% per annum.

Interest will be payable semiannually (to the holders of record of the Notes at the close of business on the June 1 or December 1 immediately preceding the relevant interest payment date) on each Interest Payment Date, or if a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day, commencing on June 15, 2014.

Interest on this Note will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid on this Note (or, if there is no existing default in the payment of interest and if this Note is authenticated between a regular record date and the next interest payment date, from such interest payment date) or, if no interest has been paid, from [the Issue Date].¹ Interest will be computed in the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

The Issuer will pay interest on overdue principal, premium, if any, and, to the extent lawful, interest at a rate per annum that is otherwise applicable to this Note. Interest not paid when due and any interest on principal, premium or interest not paid when due will be paid to the Persons that are Holders on a special record date, which will be the 15th day preceding the date fixed by the Issuer for the payment of such interest, whether or not such day is a Business Day. At least 15 days before a special record date, the Issuer will send to each Holder and to the Trustee a notice that sets forth the special record date, the payment date and the amount of interest to be paid.

2.	Indentures; Security; Note Guarantees.

This is one of the Notes issued under an Indenture dated as of December 20, 2013 (as amended from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee. Capitalized terms used herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise indicated. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture.

The Notes are senior obligations of the Issuer, secured by a second priority lien on substantially all of the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ assets, other than Excluded Assets, as set forth in the Indenture and the Security Documents. The Indenture limits the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes to $200 million, but Additional Notes may be issued pursuant to the Indenture, and the originally issued Notes and all such Additional Notes would be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture, including with respect to voting, waivers and redemptions. This Note is guaranteed as set forth in the Indenture.

3.	Redemption and Repurchase; Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity.

This Note is subject to optional redemption, and may be the subject of an Offer to Purchase, as further described in the Indenture. There is no sinking fund or mandatory redemption applicable to this Note. Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the redemption price, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on the applicable redemption date.

If the Issuer deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay the then outstanding principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, the Issuer may in certain circumstances be discharged from the Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents or may be discharged from certain of its obligations under certain provisions of the Indenture.

Pursuant to the Indenture, there are certain periods during which the Trustee will not be required to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note or certain portions of a Note.

5.	Defaults and Remedies.

If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable. If a bankruptcy or insolvency default with respect to Parent, Holdings or the Issuer occurs and is continuing, the Notes automatically become due and payable. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of remedies.

6.	Amendment and Waiver.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Notes and the Second-Priority Security Documents may be amended, or default may be waived, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. Without notice to or the consent of any Holder, the Issuer and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture, the Notes and the Second-Priority Security Documents to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency in the Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Second-Priority Security Documents.
