The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section 2.1 and Section 2.2, authenticate and deliver the Global Notes that (i) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary and (ii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instructions or held by the Note Custodian for the Depositary.

The Company and/or any Restricted Subsidiary may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing, and the Trustee shall notify the Holders, of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture.

Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) shall have no further liability for such money. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent.

(5)            Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent, or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(6)            The Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and certificated Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2. Except as provided in Section 2.6(b), neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall authenticate or deliver any certificated Note in exchange for a Global Note.

(7)            Each Holder agrees to indemnify the Company and the Trustee against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Note in violation of any provision of this Indenture and/or applicable United States federal or state securities law.

(8)            Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

(9)            The transferor of any Note held in certificated form shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee all information necessary to allow the Trustee to comply with any applicable tax reporting obligations, including without limitation any cost basis reporting obligations under Section 6045 of the Code. The Trustee may rely on information provided to it and shall have no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy of such information.

Section 2.7.     Replacement Notes. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Registrar or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the ownership and destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company, the Trustee and the Agents may charge for their expenses in replacing a Note.

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.8.     Outstanding Notes. The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.8 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.9, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors or any of their respective Affiliates holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser.

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.1 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on the maturity date or date of redemption, money sufficient to pay all amounts under the Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.9.     Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors or by any of their respective Affiliates shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has written notice as being so owned shall be so disregarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Notes that are to be acquired by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company pursuant to an exchange offer, tender offer or other agreement shall not be deemed to be owned by such entity until legal title to such Notes passes to such entity.

Section 2.10.   Temporary Notes

. Until certificated Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by one Officer, authenticate certificated Notes in certificate form in exchange for temporary Notes.

Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.11.   Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder or which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. All Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, shall be delivered to the Trustee. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation. Subject to Sections 2.7 and 2.16, the Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has redeemed or paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with its customary practice.

Section 2.12.   Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be the earliest practicable date but in all events at least five Business Days prior to the payment date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.1; provided that no special record date shall be required with respect to any defaulted interest that is paid within the applicable grace period. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date and shall promptly thereafter notify the Trustee of any such date. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid. The Trustee will have no duty whatsoever to determine whether any defaulted interest is payable or the amount thereof.

Section 2.13.   Computation of Interest. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Section 2.14.   CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers, and, if it does so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP and/or ISIN number in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such numbers printed in the notice or on the Notes and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or exchange shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP number and ISIN number.

Section 2.15.   Transfer and Exchange.

Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes not bearing the Restricted Notes Legend, the Registrar shall deliver Notes that do not bear the Restricted Notes Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the Restricted Notes Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Notes that bear the Restricted Notes Legend unless there is delivered to the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act.

A transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Note that does not involve an exchange of such interest for a certificated Note or a beneficial interest in another Global Note shall be subject to compliance with applicable law and the applicable procedures of the Depositary but is not subject to any procedure required by this Indenture.

In connection with any proposed transfer pursuant to Regulation S or pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act (other than pursuant to Rule 144A), the Company may require the delivery of an Opinion of Counsel, other certifications or other information satisfactory to the Company.

The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to this Section 2.15.

With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company shall set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:

ARTICLE III
REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT

Section 3.1.     Notices to Trustee. If the Company elects to redeem or repurchase Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 3.7, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least five Business Days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee) before sending a notice of such redemption, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the (i) the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption or repurchase shall occur, (ii) redemption or repurchase date (which, in the case of a redemption subject to conditions, may be subject to extension until such conditions are satisfied), (iii) principal amount of Notes to be redeemed or repurchased and (iv) the redemption or repurchase price or the method for determining the redemption or repurchase price.

Section 3.2.     Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. In the event that less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time in connection with any redemption or repurchase, the Trustee shall select the Notes (or portions of Notes) to be redeemed or repurchased among the Holders in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not then listed on a national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot (except that any Notes represented by a Global Note will be redeemed by such method the Depositary may require); provided, however, that no Notes of $2,000 in original principal amount or less shall be redeemed or repurchased in part and no portion of a Note shall be redeemed or repurchased that would result in the Note remaining outstanding having a principal amount that is not a multiple of $1,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, to the extent any such Notes are held in the form of Global Notes, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with the applicable procedures and requirements of DTC.

Section 3.3.     Notice of Redemption. The Company shall mail or cause to be mailed (in each case sent by first class mail) in accordance with Section 12.1 and, in the case of Global Notes given in accordance with DTC procedures, a notice of redemption pursuant to Section 3.7 to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address (with a copy to the Trustee), at least ten days but not more than 60 days before the expected redemption date (except that notices may be delivered more than 60 days before a redemption date if the notice is issued in accordance with Article VIII) (which, in the case of a redemption subject to conditions, may be subject to extension of not more than three months until such conditions are satisfied).

The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including the name of the Notes, the series, “CUSIP” numbers and corresponding “ISINs,” if applicable, interest rate, maturity date and, if known, certificate numbers) and shall state:

(1)            the redemption date (which, in the case of a redemption subject to conditions, may be subject to extension until such conditions are satisfied);

(2)            the redemption price (or the method by which it is to be determined);

(3)            if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued upon cancellation of the original Note (or appropriate adjustments to the amount and beneficial interests in a Global Note will be made, as appropriate);

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

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

(6)            that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest, if any, on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

(7)            the paragraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed;

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

(9)            any conditions precedent to such redemption.

At the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least five Business Days prior to the date of the giving of the notice of redemption (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in the notice as provided in the preceding paragraph. The notice sent in the manner herein provided shall be deemed to have been duly given whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note shall not affect the validity of the proceeding for the redemption of any other Note.

Section 3.4.     Effect of Notice of Redemption. Subject to the next paragraph, once notice of redemption is delivered in accordance with Section 3.3, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date at the applicable redemption price.

Any redemption notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of one or more conditions precedent, including completion of an Equity Offering or other corporate transaction or series of related transactions. In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction or waiver of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed. In addition, the Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person. The Company shall provide written notice of the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions, the delay of such redemption date or the rescission of such notice of redemption to the Trustee no later than the day prior to the redemption date, and upon receipt the Trustee shall provide such notice of each Holder of Notes in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given.

Section 3.5.     Deposit of Redemption Price. On or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) money sufficient to pay the redemption price, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date on all Notes to be redeemed.

If the Company has deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and unpaid and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed, on and after the redemption, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption (regardless of whether certificates for such securities are actually surrendered). If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal from the redemption until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case, at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.1.

Section 3.6.     Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender and cancellation of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and, upon the written request of an Officer of the Company, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered and canceled; provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 3.7.     Optional Redemption.

(a)            The Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to January 15, 2028 at the option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). The Company will calculate the Treasury Rate and Applicable Premium and, prior to the redemption date, file an Officers’ Certificate with the Trustee setting forth the Treasury Rate and Applicable Premium and showing the calculation of each in reasonable detail.

(b)            At any time or from time to time on or after January 15, 2028, the Company, at its option, may redeem the Notes in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date that is on or prior to the applicable redemption date), if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning January 15 of the years indicated below:

Year	Redemption Price
2028		105.313	%
2029		102.656	%
2030 and thereafter		100.000	%

(c)            In the event that prior to January 15, 2028, the Company receives net cash proceeds from one or more Equity Offerings by the Company, the Company may use an amount not greater than the amount of such net cash proceeds to redeem up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of all Notes issued (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of Additional Notes) at a redemption price of 110.625% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date (subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant regular record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date that is on or prior to the applicable redemption date); provided that:

(1)            at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of all Notes issued on the Issue Date remains outstanding after each such redemption; and

(2)            the redemption date is within 120 days of the consummation of any such Equity Offering.

(d)            The Notes may be redeemed as provided in Section 4.13.

Prior to January 15, 2028, the Company may, on any one or more occasions, redeem during each calendar year commencing with the calendar year in which the Issue Date occurs up to 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes, including any Additional Notes, at its option, at a redemption price equal to 103% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling on or prior to the applicable redemption date).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any tender offer for the Notes, including a Change of Control Offer or an Alternate Offer, if Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not validly withdraw such Notes in such tender offer and the Company, or any third party making such tender offer in lieu of the Company, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by such Holders, the Company or such third party will have the right upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase date, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to the price offered to each other Holder (excluding any early tender or incentive fee) in such tender offer plus, to the extent not included in the tender offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to, but excluding, the date of such redemption. In determining whether the Holders of at least 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have validly tendered and not validly withdrawn such Notes in a tender offer, including a Change of Control Offer or an Alternate Offer, the Notes owned by the Company or its Affiliates or by funds controlled or managed by any Affiliate of the Company, or any successor thereof, shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purposes of such tender offer.

Section 3.8.     Other Repurchases. Nothing herein shall limit the ability of the Company or its Affiliates to purchase or acquire Notes in open market purchases, tender or exchange offers or other negotiated transactions.

(11)          in no event will such reports contain compensation or beneficial ownership information.

(b)            So long as any of the Notes remain outstanding, if at any time the Company is not subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) under the Exchange Act, the Company will make available to any prospective purchaser of Notes or beneficial owner of Notes, upon their request, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act until such time as the Holders of the Notes, other than Holders that are Affiliates of the Company, are able to sell all such Notes immediately without restriction pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or any successor provision thereto.

(f)            Any and all Defaults or Events of Default arising from a failure to furnish in a timely manner any information required by this Section 4.3 shall be deemed cured (and the Company shall be deemed to be in compliance with this Section 4.3) upon furnishing such information as contemplated by this Section 4.3 (but without regard to the date on which such financial statement or report is so furnished).

(g)           Delivery of reports and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge or notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s or any Subsidiary Guarantor’s, as the case may be, compliance with any of its covenants under this Indenture (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officers’ Certificate of the Company). The Trustee shall not have an obligation or responsibility to determine whether the Company is required to file any reports or other information with the SEC, whether the Company’s information is available on ▇▇▇▇▇ (or any successor system) or whether the Company has otherwise delivered any notice or report in accordance with the requirements specified in this Section 4.3.

Section 4.4.     Compliance Certificate. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether each has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that, to his or her knowledge, each entity has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto).

The Company shall, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after any Officer becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 4.5.     Taxes. The Company shall pay, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency all material taxes, assessments and governmental levies, except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which appropriate reserves have been taken in accordance with GAAP or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

Section 4.6.     Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture, and the Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

(5)            in the case of a restriction described in Section 4.8(a)(3), contained in any security agreement securing Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary otherwise permitted under this Indenture, but only to the extent such restrictions restrict the transfer of the assets or property subject to such security agreement; provided that any such encumbrance or restriction is released to the extent the underlying Lien is released or the related Debt repaid;

(10)          any encumbrance or restriction contained in the terms of any Debt or Capital Stock otherwise permitted to be Incurred under this Indenture if the Company determines that any such encumbrance or restriction either (i) will not materially affect the Company’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the Notes and such restrictions are not materially less favorable to Holders of Notes than is customary in comparable financings or (ii) are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to any Restricted Subsidiary than those in effect on the Issue Date with respect to that Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to agreements in effect on the Issue Date or those contained in this Indenture or the ABL Credit Facility, in each case as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or an Officer of the Company;

(11)          restrictions applicable to Foreign Subsidiaries in agreements or instruments governing Debt of Foreign Subsidiaries;

(c)            For purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of any particular Debt Incurred pursuant to, and in compliance with, this Section 4.9:

(1)            in the event that Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Debt described in Section 4.9(a) and Section 4.9(b), the Company, in its sole discretion, may classify such item of Debt on the date of Incurrence (or later classify or reclassify such Debt, in its sole discretion) in any manner permitted by this covenant and shall only be required to include the amount and type of such Debt in one of such clauses; provided that all Debt outstanding on the Issue Date under the ABL Credit Facility and all Debt (or the portion thereof) Incurred under Section 4.9(b)(1) shall be deemed Incurred under Section 4.9(b)(1) and may not later be reclassified;

(2)            Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Debt which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Debt shall not be included;

(3)            the principal amount of any Redeemable Stock or Preferred Stock of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary will be equal to the greater of the maximum redemption or repurchase price (not including, in either case, any redemption or repurchase premium) or the liquidation preference thereof;

(4)            Debt permitted by this Section 4.9 need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Debt but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 4.9 permitting such Debt; and

(5)            the amount of Debt issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof will be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP.

(d)            Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest in the form of additional Debt and the payment of dividends in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock or Redeemable Stock will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Debt for purposes of this Section 4.9.

(e)            For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Debt, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Debt denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Debt was Incurred, in the case of term Debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Debt; provided that if such Debt is Incurred to refinance other Debt denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-dominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-dominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Debt does not exceed the principal amount of such Debt being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.9, the maximum amount of Debt that the Company may Incur pursuant to this Section 4.9 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies.

Section 4.10.   Limitation on Asset Dispositions.

(a)            The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any Asset Disposition of Notes Collateral unless:

(1)            the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration for such Asset Disposition at least equal to the Fair Market Value (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Disposition) for the assets or Capital Stock sold or disposed of;

(2)            at least 75% of the consideration for such Asset Disposition and all other Asset Dispositions since the Issue Date on a cumulative basis consists of:

(i)            cash or Cash Equivalents;

(ii)           the assumption of Debt of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary (other than Debt that is subordinated to the Notes or such Restricted Subsidiary’s Subsidiary Guarantee) relating to such assets and release from all liability on the Debt assumed;

(iii)          Replacement Assets;

(iv)          Designated Noncash Consideration; or

(v)           any combination of the foregoing;

(3)            without limitation of the obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 4.19, to the extent that any consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Disposition (including, for avoidance of doubt, any Designated Noncash Consideration) consists of assets of the type that would constitute Notes Collateral, such assets, including the assets of any Person that becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor as a result of such transaction, are as soon as reasonably practicable after their acquisition added to the Notes Collateral (to the extent that such additional assets do not constitute ABL Collateral); and

(4)            subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements, the Net Available Proceeds from any such Asset Disposition of Notes Collateral are paid directly by the purchaser thereof to the Collateral Trustee to be held in trust in a Collateral Account for application in accordance with this Section 4.10;

provided that the amount of any consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary that is converted into cash within 180 days of the closing of such Asset Disposition shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this Section 4.10(a) (to the extent of the cash received). This Section 4.10(a) shall not apply with respect to any condemnation, event of loss or other involuntary Asset Disposition.

(b)            Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Available Proceeds from an Asset Disposition of Notes Collateral, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply such Net Available Proceeds at its option, in any combination of the following:

(1)            to repay, repurchase or otherwise retire (or offer to do so in accordance with the provisions of an Offer to Purchase) obligations under the Notes and under any other Pari Passu Debt (and in the case of any revolving credit facilities, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto) on a pro rata basis; provided that all repayments, repurchases or retirements of (or offers thereof in accordance with the provisions of an Offer to Purchase) obligations under the Notes shall be made as provided under Section 3.7 or by making an offer to all Holders of Notes to purchase their Notes at the Offered Price;

(2)            to (a) make an Investment by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in any one or more Similar Businesses or (b) acquire Replacement Assets or make capital expenditures; provided that the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary will be deemed to have complied with its obligations under this paragraph if it enters into a binding commitment to acquire Replacement Assets prior to 365 days after the receipt of the applicable Net Available Proceeds and such acquisition of Replacement Assets is consummated prior to 545 days after the date of receipt of the applicable Net Available Proceeds; provided, further that upon any abandonment or termination of such commitment, the Net Available Proceeds not so applied shall constitute Excess Proceeds and be applied as set forth below; provided, further that any such additional assets acquired with Net Available Proceeds from an Asset Disposition of Notes Collateral are as soon as reasonably practicable after their acquisition pledged as Collateral to the extent required pursuant to this Indenture and the Collateral Trust Agreement; or

(3)            any combination of the foregoing.

(c)            Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Available Proceeds from an Asset Disposition of assets that do not constitute Notes Collateral, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be), may apply such Net Available Proceeds at its option, in any combination of the following:

(1)            in the case of Net Available Proceeds from an Asset Disposition of ABL Collateral, repay any Debt under the ABL Credit Facility or any other Debt of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor that is secured by a Lien on the ABL Collateral that is prior to the Lien on the ABL Collateral in favor of Holders of Notes (in each case other than Debt owed to the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) and, in the case of obligations with respect to revolving indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;

(2)            to repay, repurchase or otherwise retire (or offer to do so in accordance with the provisions of an Offer to Purchase) obligations under the Notes and under any other Pari Passu Debt (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto) on a pro rata basis, as provided in the second paragraph of this covenant;

(3)            to the extent such Net Available Proceeds are not from Asset Dispositions of Collateral, (i) to permanently reduce Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, other than Debt owed to the Company, a Subsidiary Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) to repay Debt secured by a Lien on such assets; or

(4)            for any purpose permitted by Section 4.10(b)(2); provided that any such additional assets acquired with Net Available Proceeds of ABL Collateral are, as soon as reasonably practicable following the acquisition thereof, pledged as Collateral to the extent required under the Security Documents.

(d)            Any Net Available Proceeds that are not applied or invested as provided in Sections 4.10(b) and 4.10(c) will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, or earlier, at the Company’s election, the Company will offer to apply the Excess Proceeds to the repayment of the Notes and any other Pari Passu Debt outstanding with similar provisions requiring the Company to make an Offer to Purchase such Debt with the proceeds from any Asset Disposition as follows:

(1)            the Company will make an Offer to Purchase from all Holders of the Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture in the maximum principal amount (expressed in amounts of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of Notes that may be purchased out of an amount (the “Note Amount”) equal to the product of such Excess Proceeds multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of the Notes, and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Debt (subject to proration in the event such amount is less than the aggregate Offered Price for all Notes tendered); and

(2)            to the extent required by such Pari Passu Debt, the Company will make an Offer to Purchase or otherwise repurchase or redeem Pari Passu Debt (a “Pari Passu Offer”) in an amount (the “Pari Passu Debt Amount”) equal to the excess of the Excess Proceeds over the Note Amount. However, in no event will the Company be required to make a Pari Passu Offer in a Pari Passu Debt Amount exceeding the principal amount of such Pari Passu Debt plus the amount of any premium required to be paid to repurchase such Pari Passu Debt.

(3)            The offer price for the Notes will be payable in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date (the “Offer Date”) such Offer to Purchase is consummated (the “Offered Price”), in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. To the extent that the aggregate Offered Price of the Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer to Purchase is less than the Note Amount relating to the tendered Notes or the aggregate amount of Pari Passu Debt that is purchased in a Pari Passu Offer is less than the Pari Passu Debt Amount, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose not prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Debt surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and Pari Passu Debt to be purchased on a pro rata basis; provided that, in the case of Global Notes, beneficial interests in such Notes shall be repurchased on a pro rata basis based on amounts tendered only if such proration is consistent with the procedures of the applicable Depositary; otherwise, such beneficial interests shall be selected for repurchase in accordance with such procedures. Upon the completion of the purchase of all the Notes tendered pursuant to an Offer to Purchase and the completion of a Pari Passu Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds, if any, shall be reset at zero.

(4)            Pending the final application of any Net Available Proceeds from Asset Dispositions of assets that do not constitute Notes Collateral pursuant to this Section 4.10, the holder of such Net Available Proceeds may apply such Net Available Proceeds temporarily to reduce Debt outstanding under a revolving credit facility (including under the ABL Credit Facility) or otherwise invest such Net Available Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

(e)            For purposes of this Section 4.10, in connection with a disposition that includes (i) the Capital Stock issued by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor that has an interest in any ABL Collateral or (ii) ABL Collateral and Notes Collateral, then, unless otherwise agreed by the ABL Collateral Agent and the Collateral Trustee, (i) a portion of the proceeds of any such disposition shall be deemed to be Net Available Proceeds of an Asset Disposition of ABL Collateral in an amount equal to the sum of (A) the book value determined in accordance with GAAP of any ABL Collateral consisting of ABL Accounts that are the subject of such disposition (or, in the case of a disposition of Capital Stock issued by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, any ABL Collateral consisting of ABL Accounts in which the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor has an interest), determined as of the date of such disposition, and (B) the Fair Market Value of all other ABL Collateral that is the subject of such disposition (or, in the case of a disposition of Equity Interests issued by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, any other ABL Collateral in which the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor has an interest), determined as of the date of such disposition; and (ii) the remainder of the proceeds of such disposition shall be deemed to be Net Available Proceeds of an Asset Disposition of Notes Collateral.

(f)            The Company shall comply with the applicable tender offer rules, including Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other applicable securities laws or regulations in connection with an Offer to Purchase. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Disposition provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Asset Disposition provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

Section 4.11.   Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.

(2)            any agreement, arrangement or transaction with a current or former officer, director, employee or consultant of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary relating to compensation, perquisites or indemnities, including without limitation any employment agreement, employee benefit plan, officer or director indemnification agreement, retention agreement, severance agreement, consultant agreement or any similar arrangement, entered into by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business and payments pursuant thereto;

(5)            transactions with joint ventures entered into in the ordinary course of business; provided that no other Affiliate of the Company (other than a Subsidiary thereof) directly or indirectly holds any Capital Stock of such joint venture;

(12)          written agreements entered into or assumed in connection with mergers or acquisitions of other businesses with Persons who were not Affiliates prior to such transactions; provided that such agreement was not entered into in contemplation of such merger or acquisition, and any amendment thereto, so long as any such amendment is not disadvantageous to the Holders in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors or senior management of the Company, when taken as a whole, as compared to the applicable agreement as in effect on the date of such acquisition or merger;

(13)          advances or loans (or cancellations of loans) to employees, directors or officers of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business;

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, Incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any property or asset (including any intercompany notes) of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, to secure any Debt, unless:

(1) in the case of Liens on any Collateral, such Lien is a Permitted Lien; and

(2) in the case of Liens on any property or asset (including any intercompany notes) of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary that is not Collateral, (i) the Notes (or the related note guarantees in the case of Liens on assets of a Guarantor) are equally and ratably secured with (or, in the event the Lien relates to Subordinated Debt, are secured on a senior basis to) the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien on such asset or property or (ii) such Lien is a Permitted Lien.

(a)            No later than 30 days after the occurrence of a Change of Control with respect to the Notes, the Company will be required to make an Offer to Purchase (a “Change of Control Offer”), with a copy to the Trustee, all outstanding Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”) (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of purchase).

(b)            On or before the Purchase Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful, deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Purchase Price in respect of the Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered.

(1)            accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes (of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; and

(2)            deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.

(d)            The Paying Agent will promptly deliver to each Holder who has so tendered Notes the Change of Control Purchase Price for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes so tendered, if any; provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(e)            If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid on the relevant interest payment date to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date and will not be paid as part of the Change of Control Purchase Price.

(f)            The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control with respect to the Notes if (i) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer, (ii) a notice of redemption for all outstanding Notes has been given pursuant to Article III, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price or (iii) in connection with or in contemplation of any publicly announced Change of Control, the Company has made an Offer to Purchase (an “Alternate Offer”) any and all Notes validly tendered at a cash price equal to or higher than the Change of Control Purchase Price and has purchased all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Alternate Offer.

(g)            [Reserved].

(h)            The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.13, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.13 by virtue of such compliance.

(i)            The provisions under this Indenture relating to the Company’s obligation to make a Change of Control Offer may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

(j)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer or Alternate Offer.

Section 4.14.    Corporate Existence. Subject to Article V, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Subsidiary Guarantor and the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors; provided that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, if the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

Section 4.15.   Future Guarantees.

(a)            If (i) any Domestic Subsidiary that is not already a Subsidiary Guarantor guarantees any Debt of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor under, or borrows Debt under, the ABL Credit Facility or (ii) any Restricted Subsidiary that is not already a Subsidiary Guarantor guarantees or becomes obligated as a co-issuer or co-borrower of any Capital Markets Debt issued or borrowed by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor in excess of $50.0 million on or after the Issue Date, then such Restricted Subsidiary will become a Subsidiary Guarantor and, within 30 days of the date on which it became a guarantor or borrower with respect to such other Debt, execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture, Security Documents and an acknowledgment and/or joinder to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement pursuant to which such Subsidiary will (A) guarantee payment of the Notes and all obligations in respect of the Notes on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in this Indenture, (B) grant and perfect a Lien on such of its assets of the type that would constitute Collateral in favor of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholder Secured Parties as security for the Notes and all obligations in respect of the Notes on terms and conditions substantially similar to those set forth in the Security Documents then existing and (C) agree to acknowledge, and agree to comply with, the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement.

(b)            The Company may designate, in its sole discretion, any Foreign Subsidiary of the Company as a Subsidiary Guarantor and, on the date of such designation, shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Collateral Trust Agreement or any other Pari Passu Lien Debt Document, cause (i) such Foreign Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture and any other documents required in order for such Foreign Subsidiary to provide a valid, binding and enforceable Subsidiary Guarantee, customary (as determined by the Company in good faith) Security Documents governed by the laws of the jurisdiction of such Foreign Subsidiary’s organization (including, without limiting the foregoing, any Security Document that the Company and the Collateral Trustee may agree) and an acknowledgment to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement pursuant to which such Subsidiary will (A) guarantee payment of the Notes and all obligations in respect of such Notes on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in this Indenture, subject to any applicable limitations required by the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of such Foreign Subsidiary, (B) grant and perfect a Lien on such of its assets as security for the Notes on terms which are customary (as determined by the Company in good faith) in the jurisdiction which such Foreign Subsidiary is organized in for transactions of this type, subject to customary (as determined by the Company in good faith) limitations of such jurisdiction, and (C) agree to acknowledge, and agree to comply with, the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) cause the Capital Stock of such Foreign Subsidiary which is owned by the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor to be pledged pursuant to a Security Document governed by the laws of the jurisdiction of the designated Foreign Subsidiary and cause such Capital Stock to be subject to a valid and perfected Lien as security for the Notes, subject to customary (as determined by the Company in good faith) limitations of such jurisdiction. In addition, on the date of such designation, the Company shall deliver all customary (as determined by the Company in good faith) certificates, resolutions, opinions (including capacity and enforceability opinions) to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee and any other documents that the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request. The Company shall be permitted to release any such Foreign Subsidiary from its guarantee obligations so long as (x) such Foreign Subsidiary is not otherwise required to be a Guarantor pursuant to the terms of this Section 4.15 and (y) all Debt and Liens of such Foreign Subsidiary outstanding immediately following such release would, if Incurred at such time, have been permitted to be Incurred for all purposes of this Indenture.

Section 4.16.   Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(a)            The Company, by delivery of an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee, may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary, in which event such Subsidiary and each other Person that is then or thereafter becomes a Subsidiary of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary, if (1) neither the Company nor any of its other Subsidiaries (other than another Unrestricted Subsidiary) provides credit support for, or a Guarantee of, any Debt of such Subsidiary or any Subsidiary of such Subsidiary (including any undertaking, agreement or instrument evidencing such Debt) or is directly or indirectly liable for any Debt of such Subsidiary or any Subsidiary of such Subsidiary, and no default with respect to any Debt of such Subsidiary or any Subsidiary of such Subsidiary (including any right which the holders thereof may have to take enforcement action against such Subsidiary) would permit (upon notice, lapse of time or both) any holder of any other Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than another Unrestricted Subsidiary) to declare a default on such other Debt or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or payable prior to its final scheduled maturity except, in either case to the extent that the amount of any such Debt constitutes a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment that is made in compliance with Section 4.7; (2) such Subsidiary does not own any Capital Stock of, or does not own or hold any Lien on any property of, any other Restricted Subsidiary which is not a Subsidiary of the Subsidiary to be so designated or otherwise an Unrestricted Subsidiary; (3) at the time of designation, the Company could make a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment in an amount equal to the greater of the Fair Market Value and book value of its interest in such Subsidiary pursuant to Section 4.7; (4) such Subsidiary is a Person with respect to which neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has any direct or indirect obligation to (a) subscribe for additional Capital Stock of such Subsidiary or (b) maintain or preserve such Subsidiary’s financial condition or to cause such Subsidiary to achieve any specified levels of operating results, except in either case to the extent that the amount of any such obligation constitutes a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment that is made in compliance with Section 4.7; and (5) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of, or immediately after giving effect to, such designation. Any such designation by Company shall be evidenced to the Trustee by delivery to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation complies with the foregoing conditions.

(b)            The Company, by delivery of an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee, may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company if (1) (A) the Company would be able to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to Section 4.9(a) or (B) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the Company would not be less than the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the Company immediately prior to such designation, in each case on a pro forma basis taking into account such designation; (2) all Liens of such Unrestricted Subsidiary outstanding immediately following such designation would, if Incurred at such time, have been permitted to be Incurred for all purposes of this Indenture; and (3) no Default or Event of Default would occur and be continuing following such designation. Any such redesignation shall be evidenced to the Trustee by delivery of an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such redesignation complies with the foregoing conditions.

At the time of the designation of any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, such Subsidiary may not hold any Material Intellectual Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall sell, lease, sublease, dispose of or otherwise transfer to an Unrestricted Subsidiary ownership of or an exclusive license in any Material Intellectual Property.

Section 4.17.   Covenant Suspension.

(a)            If on any date following the Issue Date, the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from two Rating Agencies and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, then upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate to the foregoing effect, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will no longer be subject to the following covenants under this Indenture:

(1)            Section 4.7;

(2)            Section 4.8;

(3)            Section 4.9;

(4)            Section 4.10;

(5)            Section 4.11;

(6)            Section 4.15; and

(7)            Section 5.1(a)(3).

During any period that the foregoing covenants have been suspended, the Company shall not designate any of the Company’s Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 4.16.

(b)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Notes are downgraded from an Investment Grade Rating by two Rating Agencies, the foregoing covenants will be reinstated as of and from the date of such rating decline, subject to further suspension in the future upon the satisfaction of the conditions described in Section 4.17(a). In the event of any such reinstatement, no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries prior to such reinstatement that would otherwise be a breach of any suspended covenant will give rise to a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture. Any Debt Incurred during the period when the covenants are suspended will be classified as having been Incurred pursuant to Section 4.9(a) or one of the clauses of Section 4.9(b). To the extent such Debt would not be so permitted to be Incurred, such Debt will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.9(b)(4). Calculations under the reinstated Section 4.7 will be made as if Section 4.7 had been in effect since the Issue Date. Any Liens Incurred pursuant to paragraph (b) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” shall be deemed Incurred pursuant to clause (10) of paragraph (a) of such definition. However, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred with respect to the suspended covenants as a result of any actions taken by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries during the period when such covenants are suspended.

(c)            Promptly following the occurrence of any suspension or reinstatement of the covenants as described above, the Company shall provide an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee regarding such occurrence. The Trustee shall have no obligation to independently determine or verify if a suspension or reinstatement has occurred or notify the Holders of any suspension or reinstatement. The Trustee may provide a copy of such Officers’ Certificate to any Holder of the Notes upon request.

Section 4.18.   Perfection of Security Interests.

(a)            The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perfect on the Issue Date the security interests in the Collateral for the benefit of the Noteholder Secured Parties that are created on the Issue Date, but to the extent any such security interest cannot be perfected by such date, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have all security interests perfected, to the extent required by the Security Documents, promptly following the Issue Date, but in any event no later than 90 days thereafter.

(b)            With regard to any property upon which a security interest must be perfected, such security interests and Liens shall be created under the Security Documents in form satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee, and the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Trustee all such instruments and documents (including certificates and legal opinions) as required under this Indenture and the Security Documents to evidence compliance with this covenant.

Section 4.19.   Further Assurances.

Subject to Section 4.18(a), the Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall do or cause to be done all acts and things as set forth in Section 7.3 of the Collateral Trust Agreement.

In addition, each Directing Holder is deemed, at the time of providing a Noteholder Direction, to covenant to provide the Company with such other information as the Company may reasonably request from time to time in order to verify the accuracy of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Position Representation within five (5) Business Days of request therefor (a “Verification Covenant”). In any case in which the Holder is DTC or its nominee, any Position Representation or Verification Covenant required hereunder shall be provided by the beneficial owner of the Notes in lieu of DTC or its nominee and DTC shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Position Representation and Verification Covenant in delivering any direction to the Trustee.

(c)            If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Company determines in good faith that there is a reasonable basis to believe a Directing Holder was, at any relevant time, in breach of its Position Representation and provides to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Company has initiated litigation (“Litigation”) in a court of competent jurisdiction seeking a determination that such Directing Holder was, at such time, in breach of its Position Representation, and seeking to invalidate any Event of Default or acceleration (or notice thereof) that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction, the cure period with respect to such Default or Event of Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to such Default or Event of Default shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending a final and non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction on such matter (a “Final Decision”). Once such Officer’s Certificate has been provided to the Trustee, such Trustee shall take no further action pursuant to the related Noteholder Direction until it has actual knowledge of a Final Decision. If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Company provides to Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that a Directing Holder failed to satisfy its Verification Covenant (a “Verification Covenant Officer’s Certificate”), the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to any Default or Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending satisfaction of such Verification Covenant, and such Trustee shall take no further action pursuant to the related Noteholder Direction until the Company provides a subsequent Officer’s Certificate to such Trustee that such Verification Covenant has been satisfied (a “Covenant Satisfaction Officer’s Certificate”). The Company shall promptly deliver a Covenant Satisfaction Officer’s Certificate following satisfaction by the applicable Directing Holder of its Verification Covenant. Any breach of the Position Representation shall result in such Directing Holder’s participation in such Noteholder Direction being disregarded; and, if, without the participation of such Directing Holder, the percentage of Notes held by the remaining Directing Holders that provided such Noteholder Direction would have been insufficient to validly provide such Noteholder Direction, such Noteholder Direction shall be void ab initio, with the effect that such Event of Default shall be deemed never to have occurred, acceleration voided and the Trustee shall be deemed not to have received such Noteholder Direction or any notice of such Default or Event of Default.

(d)            Notwithstanding anything in the preceding paragraphs (b) and (c) to the contrary, any Noteholder Direction delivered to the Trustee during the pendency of an Event of Default as the result of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall not require compliance with the foregoing paragraphs. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, the preceding two paragraphs shall not apply to any Holder that is a Regulated Bank.

(e)            For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any Noteholder Direction or Officer’s Certificate delivered to it in accordance with this Indenture, shall have no duty to inquire as to or investigate the accuracy of any Position Representation, enforce compliance with any Verification Covenant, monitor any court proceedings undertaken in connection therewith, monitor or investigate whether any Default or Event of Default has been publicly reported, verify any statements in any Officer’s Certificate delivered to it, or otherwise make calculations, investigations or determinations with respect to Derivative Instruments, Net Shorts, Long Derivative Instruments, Short Derivative Instruments or otherwise and shall have no liability for ceasing to take any action, staying any remedy or otherwise failing to act in accordance with a Noteholder Direction during the pendency of any Litigation or a Noteholder Direction after a Verification Covenant Officer’s Certificate has been provided but prior to receipt of a Covenant Satisfaction Officer’s Certificate. The Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company, any Holder or any other Person in acting in good faith on a Noteholder Direction, and each Noteholder and subsequent purchaser of the Notes waives any and all claims, in law and/or in equity, against the Trustee and agrees not to commence any legal proceeding against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee will not be liable for any action that the Trustee takes acting in good faith arising out of or in connection with following instructions or taking actions in accordance with a Noteholder Direction.

(f)            With their acquisition of the Notes, each Holder and subsequent purchaser of the Notes consents to the delivery of its Position Representation by the Trustee to the Company in accordance with the terms of Section 6.1(b).

(g)            The Company hereby waives any and all claims, in law and/or in equity, against the Trustee, and agrees not to commence any legal proceeding against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee will not be liable for any action that the Trustee takes in accordance with Section 6.1(e) and Section 6.1(f), or arising out of or in connection with following instructions or taking actions in accordance with a Noteholder Direction.

(h)            The Company hereby confirms that any and all other actions that the Trustee takes or omits to take under this Section and all fees, costs and expenses of the Trustee and its agents and counsel arising hereunder and in connection herewith shall be covered by the Company’s indemnifications under this Indenture.

Section 6.2.     Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (8) or (9) of Section 6.1(a)) shall have occurred and be continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee, by written notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25.0% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare (an “acceleration declaration”) the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding amounts owing under the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such acceleration declaration, the aggregate principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the outstanding Notes shall become due and payable immediately.

At any time after such acceleration pursuant to this Section 6.2, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may rescind and annul such acceleration if:

(1)            the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;

(2)            all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived other than nonpayment of accelerated principal and interest;

(3)            to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;

(4)            the Company has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances; and

(5)            in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in clauses (8) or (9) of Section 6.1(a) hereof, the Trustee shall have received an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

If an Event of Default specified in clause (8) or (9) of Section 6.1(a) occurs, then all unpaid principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other action or notice on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of Notes to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 6.3.     Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, 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. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.4.     Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind any acceleration or declaration and waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium on, or the principal of, the Notes (other than any such payment that has become due because of an acceleration that has been rescinded).

Section 6.5.     Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust power conferred on it. However, (i) the Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it be furnished prior to taking such actions, (ii) the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders not joining in the giving of such direction (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such direction is unduly prejudicial to the rights of such other Holders) or that would involve any personal liability for the Trustee and (iii) the Trustee may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from the Holders.

Section 6.6.     Limitation on Suits. Subject to Section 6.7, no Holder of a Note will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or a trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder unless (a) such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes, (b) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have made written request, and such Holder or Holders have offered indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as trustee, (c) the Trustee has failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days after the receipt therefor and the offer of security or indemnity, and (d) the Trustee has not received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes a direction inconsistent with such request, within 60 days after such notice, request and offer. However, such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of a Note for the enforcement of payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on such Note on or after the applicable due date specified in such Note.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such use by a Holder prejudices the rights of any other Holders or obtains priority or preference over such other Holders).

Section 6.7.     Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium or interest on, such Note or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment, on or after the due date expressed in the Notes, shall not be modified or amended in a manner adverse to such Holder without the consent of the Holder.

Section 6.8.     Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in clauses (1) or (2) of Section 6.1(a) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.9.     Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes including the Subsidiary Guarantors), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other securities or property payable or deliverable upon the conversion or exchange of the Notes or on any such claims, and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.6. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances to the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.6 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing in this Section 6.9 shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10.   Priorities. Subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements, if the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article VI, it shall pay out the money and property in the following order:

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under this Indenture, including payment of all reasonable compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by it and the costs and expenses of collection;

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

Third: without duplication, to the Holders for any other obligations owing to the Holders under this Indenture and the Notes; and

Fourth: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11.   Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as the Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7, or a suit by Holders of more than 10.0% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

Section 6.12.   Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted.

Section 6.13.   Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.7 hereof, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

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

ARTICLE VII
TRUSTEE

Section 7.1.     Duties of Trustee.

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

(b)            Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(1)            the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(2)            the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein); however, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions furnished to it to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

(c)            The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own grossly negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(1)            this Section 7.1(c) does not limit the effect of Section 7.1(b);

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

(3)            the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.5; and

(4)            no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability.

(e)            Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to this Section 7.1.

Section 7.2.     Rights of Trustee.

(a)            The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting on any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, notice, report, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other document (whether in original or facsimile form or PDF transmission) 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 therein.

(b)            Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. Prior to taking, suffering or admitting any action, the Trustee may consult with counsel of the Trustee’s own choosing, and the Trustee shall be fully protected from liability in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in conclusive reliance on the advice or opinion of such counsel.

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

(e)            Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request, direction or notice from the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor.

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

(g)            The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or documents, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine during normal business hours the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company, and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(h)            The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, to the Agents and to each other agent, custodian and Person employed to act hereunder.

(i)             The Trustee may request that the Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of Officers of the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture of the Company, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any Person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any Person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

(j)             The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or the Trustee shall have received from the Company or Subsidiary Guarantor or from any Holder written notice thereof at its address set forth in Section 12.1 and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture. In the absence of such notice, the Trustee may conclusively assume that no such Default or Event of Default exists.

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

(l)             The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder.

(m)           No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties thereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers.

Section 7.3.     Individual Rights of the Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Section 7.9.

Section 7.4.     Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee, it shall not be accountable for the use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes, any Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee hereunder, or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication hereunder.

Section 7.5.     Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has notice or knowledge thereof as provided in Section 7.2(j), the Trustee shall deliver to Holders a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders.

Section 7.6.     Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee from time to time compensation for their acceptance of this Indenture and for all services rendered by them hereunder as Trustee and Paying Agent, and as Collateral Trustee hereunder and under the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements as agreed upon in writing by the parties from time to time. The Trustee’s and the Collateral Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, court costs, advances and expenses incurred or made by them in addition to the compensation for their services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s and the Collateral Trustee’s agents and counsel.

Each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee (which for purposes of this Section 7.6 shall include their officers, directors, employees and agents) harmless against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by them (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of them agents and counsel) arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of their duties under this Indenture, the performance of their obligations and/or exercise of their rights hereunder, under the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor (including this Section 7.6) and defending themselves against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense shall have been found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a non-appealable final decision to have been caused by their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee or the Collateral Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Trustee and the Collateral Trustee may have one separate counsel, and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Section 7.6 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the payment of the Notes or the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable.

To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.6, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes and the rights of the Holders (and holders of Other Pari Passu Lien Obligations (if any)) on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal or interest, if any, on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the payment of the Notes and the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee, as applicable.

When the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a)(8) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

Section 7.7.     Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.7.

The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company upon thirty days’ written notice. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee upon thirty days’ written notice to the Trustee and the Company. The Company may remove the Trustee if no Event of Default exists and:

(a)            the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

(b)            a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of the Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee. Within one year after the successor trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor trustee to replace the successor trustee appointed by the Company.

If a successor trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, such retiring Trustee (at the expense of the Company), the Company or the Holders of at least 10.0% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.

If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee.

A successor trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor trustee shall have all the rights, powers and the duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided that all sums owing to such Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.6. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.7, the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations under Section 7.6 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.8.     Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.. If the Trustee or any Agent consolidates, merges, sells or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business (including this transaction) to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee or Agent, as applicable.

Section 7.9.     Eligibility; Disqualification. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power and that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. Such Trustee together with its affiliates shall at all times have a combined capital surplus of at least $50.0 million as set forth in its most recent annual report of condition.

Section 7.10.   Security Documents; Intercreditor Agreements.

ARTICLE VIII
DEFEASANCE; DISCHARGE OF THIS INDENTURE

Section 8.1.     Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Company may, by delivery of an Officers’ Certificate, at any time, elect to have either Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article VIII.

Section 8.2.     Legal Defeasance. Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.1 of the option applicable to this Section 8.2, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees and this Indenture and have the Liens on the Collateral granted by the Security Documents released on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged all of the obligations with respect to this Indenture, the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees which shall thereafter be deemed to be outstanding only for the purposes of Section 8.5 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all of their other obligations under such Notes, Subsidiary Guarantees, this Indenture and the Security Documents (and the Trustee, on written demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute instruments acknowledging the same), and this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect as to all such Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees, except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, and interest and premium on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust funds referred to in Section 8.4(1); (b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Section 2.2, Section 2.3, Section 2.4, Section 2.6, Section 2.7, Section 2.10 and Section 4.2; (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, including without limitation thereunder, under Section 7.6, Section 8.5 and Section 8.7 and the obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in connection therewith; and (d) the provisions of this Article VIII. Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.2 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.3.

Section 8.3.     Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.1 above of the option applicable to this Section 8.3, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 below, be released from its obligations under Section 4.3, Section 4.5, Section 4.7 through Section 4.19 and Section 5.1(a)(3) on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not outstanding for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed outstanding for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.1(a), and the Events of Default in clauses (3) through (7) or (8) (with respect to a Subsidiary), (9) (with respect to a Subsidiary) and (10) of Section 6.1(a) shall no longer apply but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and any Subsidiary Guarantees shall be unaffected thereby. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, the Liens on the Collateral granted by the Security Documents shall be released.

Section 8.4.     Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 to the outstanding Notes:

(1)            the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest (if U.S. Government Obligations are deposited, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants selected by the Company and delivered to the Trustee), to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and any other amounts owing under this Indenture (in the case of an optional redemption date prior to electing to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an irrevocable notice to redeem all of the outstanding Notes on such redemption date),

(2)            in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from counsel in the United States confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions:

(A)          the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or

(B)          since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law,

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

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

(4)            no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Debt) and the Incurrence of Liens associated with any such borrowings),

(5)            such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, the ABL Credit Facility or any other material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture and the agreements governing any other Debt being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound,

101

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

(7)            the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in, or relating to, clauses (1) through (6) of this Section 8.4 have been complied with.

Section 8.5.     Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to Section 8.6, all U.S. dollar and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.5, the “Deposit Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.4 or Section 8.8 in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust, shall not be invested, and shall be applied by the Deposit Trustee in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company or any Subsidiary acting as Paying Agent) as the Deposit Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Deposit Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.4 or Section 8.8 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

Anything in this Article VIII to the contrary notwithstanding, the Deposit Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the written request of the Company and be relieved of all liability with respect to any U.S. dollars or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.4 or Section 8.8 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Deposit Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.4(1)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge, as the case may be.

Section 8.6.     Repayment to Company. Subject to applicable escheat laws, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its written request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof; and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense and written request of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Company.

102

Section 8.7.     Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.2, Section 8.3 or Section 8.8, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.2, Section 8.3 or Section 8.8 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.2, Section 8.3 or Section 8.8, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Section 8.8.     Discharge. This Indenture and the Security Documents will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Notes which shall survive until all Notes have been canceled and the rights, protections and immunities of the Trustee) as to all outstanding Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees when either:

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

(2)            (i) all Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation otherwise (i) have become due and payable, (ii) will become due and payable, or may be called for redemption, within one year or (iii) have been called for redemption pursuant to Article III and, in any case, the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee, as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in Dollars or U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest (if U.S. Government Obligations are deposited, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants selected by the Company and delivered to the Trustee) to pay and discharge the entire Debt (including all principal and accrued interest, if any) on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation;

(a)            the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable by it under this Indenture; and

103

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

In addition, the Company must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been complied with.

After the Notes are no longer outstanding, the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations in Section 7.6, Section 8.5 and Section 8.7 shall survive any discharge pursuant to this Section 8.8.

After such delivery or irrevocable deposit and receipt of the Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, the Trustee, upon written request, shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified above.

After an amendment under this Indenture becomes effective, the Company shall deliver to Holders of the Notes a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.

With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees, the Security Documents and the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or waive any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees, the Security Documents and the ABL Intercreditor Agreement; provided, however, that no such amendment, supplement or waiver shall, without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected thereby (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes):

(1)            change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any Note;

107

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

Section 9.3.     Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on the Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. When an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms, it thereafter binds every Holder.

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for determining which Holders consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.4.     Payment for Consent. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries may, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders that are “qualified institutional buyers” within the meaning of Rule 144A of the Securities Act, who, upon request, confirm that they are “qualified institutional buyers” and consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or amendment.

Section 9.5.     With Consent of Holders of Pari Passu Debt. At the direction of the majority of holders of all Pari Passu Debt then outstanding, the Collateral Trustee will be authorized to consent to any amendment to the ABL Credit Facility (or any Security Document entered into in connection therewith) with respect to which the ABL Intercreditor Agreement requires the consent of the Collateral Trustee.

Section 9.6.     Notation on or Exchange of Notes. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.7.     Trustee and Collateral Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc.. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee. In signing or refusing to sign any amendment or supplemental indenture, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee shall be provided with and (subject to Section 7.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent thereto have been met or waived.

(b)            Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor.

(o)            No provision of this Indenture, any Intercreditor Agreement or any Security Document shall require the Collateral Trustee (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) or, if there are Other Pari Passu Lien Obligations then outstanding, the applicable Pari Passu Lien Representative unless the Collateral Trustee shall have received indemnity satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Collateral Trustee relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or the Security Documents, in the event the Collateral Trustee is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral Trustee shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under any mortgages or take any such other action if the Collateral Trustee has determined that the Collateral Trustee 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 Collateral Trustee has received security or indemnity from the Holders (and the holders of Other Pari Passu Lien Obligations (if any)) in an amount and in a form all satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee in its sole discretion, protecting the Collateral Trustee from all such liability. The Collateral Trustee shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described above if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Company or the Holders (or holders of Other Pari Passu Lien Obligations (if any)) to be sufficient.

(p)            The Collateral Trustee (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents or any instrument referred to herein or therein, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Collateral Trustee may agree in writing with the Company (and money held in trust by the Collateral Trustee 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, in the absence of any gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith and in reliance upon the advice or opinion of such counsel. The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Collateral Trustee under the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees, this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements shall not be construed to impose duties to act.

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

121

(r)            The Collateral Trustee does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents. The Collateral Trustee shall not be responsible to the Holders or any other Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees, this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Trustee under or in connection with, this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or any Security Document; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of the Intercreditor Agreements and any Security Documents as to 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; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any obligor. The Collateral Trustee 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 Agreements and the Security Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and any Security Document. The Collateral Trustee shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents except as directed by an Act of Required Debtholders or, if Other Pari Passu Lien Obligations are then outstanding, the applicable Pari Passu Lien Representative; provided that in no event shall the Collateral Trustee be required to take any action which it determines is not permitted pursuant to the Notes Documents or applicable law.

(s)            The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that the Collateral Trustee and the Trustee shall not assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, for any environmental condition or contamination pursuant to any environmental law or otherwise as a result of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and 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 this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents, the Collateral Trustee or the Trustee may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Collateral Trustee in the Collateral, including without limitation any properties constituting real property that constitute Collateral, and that any such actions taken by the Collateral Trustee or the Trustee shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral, including without limitation any real properties that constitute Collateral, as those terms are defined in Section 101(20)(E) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 9601 et seq., as amended.

122

(t)            Upon the receipt by the Collateral Trustee of a written request of the Company signed by two Officers (a “Security Document Order”), the Collateral Trustee is hereby authorized to execute and enter into, and if satisfactory in form and substance to the Collateral Trustee, execute and enter into, without the further consent of any Holder or the Trustee, any Security Document to be executed after the Issue Date. Such Security Document Order shall (i) state that it is being delivered to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to, and is a Security Document Order referred to in, this Section 11.11(t), and (ii) instruct the Collateral Trustee to execute and enter into such Security Document. Any such execution of a Security Document shall be at the direction and expense of the Company, upon delivery to the Collateral Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of the Security Document have been satisfied. The Holders, by their acceptance of the Notes, hereby authorize and direct the Collateral Trustee to execute such Security Documents.

(u)            Subject to the provisions of the applicable Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, agrees that the Collateral Trustee shall execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreements 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, except as expressly set forth herein, in the Security Documents or in the Intercreditor Agreements, the Collateral Trustee shall have no discretion under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or the Security Documents and shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or direction except by an Act of Required Debtholders or, if Other Pari Passu Lien Obligations are then outstanding, the applicable Pari Passu Lien Representative, as applicable.

(v)            After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee, subject to Articles VI and VII, may direct the Collateral Trustee in connection with any action required or permitted by this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements.

(w)            The Collateral Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders distributed under the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements and to the extent not prohibited under the Intercreditor Agreements, 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 6.13 and the other provisions of this Indenture and the Collateral Trust Agreement.

(x)            In each case that Collateral Trustee may or is required hereunder or under the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements 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 the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, the Collateral Trustee may seek direction by an Act of Required Debtholders or, if otherwise specified under the Collateral Trust Agreement, the applicable Pari Passu Lien Representative. In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, the Collateral Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with an Act of Required Debtholders or, if otherwise specified under the Collateral Trust Agreement, the applicable Pari Passu Lien Representative. Subject to the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement, if the Collateral Trustee shall request direction by an Act of Required Debtholders with respect to any Action, the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless and until the Collateral Trustee shall have received direction by an Act of Required Debtholders, and the Collateral Trustee shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

123

(y)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, in no event shall the Collateral 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 Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements (including the filing or continuation of any UCC financing or continuation statements or similar documents or instruments), nor shall the Collateral Trustee be responsible for, and the Collateral Trustee makes no representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness or priority of any of the Security Documents or the security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby. The Collateral Trustee makes no representation regarding the validity, effectiveness or enforceability of the Intercreditor Agreements or the Security Documents.

(z)            Before the Collateral Trustee acts or refrains from acting in each case at the request or direction of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors, or in connection with any Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreements, it may require an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to the provisions of Section 12.3. In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, the Collateral Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.

(aa)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein but subject to the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Collateral Trustee shall act pursuant to the instructions of the Noteholder Secured Parties as provided in this Indenture solely with respect to the Security Documents and the Collateral.

(bb)      The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Collateral Trustee for, and hold the Collateral Trustee harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claim, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or the performance of its duties hereunder and under the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements (including the costs and expenses of enforcing the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees, this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements against the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors (including this Article XI) or defending itself against any claim, whether asserted by any Holder, the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any holder of Other Pari Passu Lien Obligations, or any liability in connection with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder). The Collateral Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Collateral Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor of their obligations hereunder. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall defend the claim and the Collateral Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Collateral Trustee through the result of the Collateral Trustee’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Section 11.11(bb) shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Collateral Trustee. To secure the payment obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in this Section 11.11(bb) but subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, the Collateral Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes and rights of the Holders on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee or Collateral Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

124

(cc)      The Trustee and Collateral Trustee shall be under no obligation to effect or maintain insurance or to renew any policies of insurance or to inquire as to the sufficiency of any policies of insurance carried by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or to report, or make or file claims or proof of loss for, any loss or damage insured against or that may occur, or to keep itself informed or advised as to the payment of any taxes or assessments, or to require any such payment to be made.

(dd)      The Trustee and Collateral Trustee shall not be obligated to acquire possession of or take any action with respect to any property secured by a mortgage or deed of trust, if as a result of such action, the Trustee would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee in possession of,” or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Responsibility Cleanup and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, but the Trustee or Collateral Trustee may determine, based upon a report prepared by a person who regularly conducts environmental audits, that (i) the such property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best interest of the Holders to take such actions as are necessary for such property to comply therewith and (ii) there are not circumstances present at such property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous wastes for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal, state or local law or regulation or that if any such materials are present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Holders to take such actions with respect to such property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before taking any such action, the Trustee and Collateral Trustee may require that a satisfactory indemnity bond or environmental impairment insurance be furnished to it for the payment or reimbursement of all expenses to which it may be put and to protect it against all liability resulting from any claims, judgments, damages, losses, fees, penalties or expenses which may result from such action.

(ee)       In no event shall the Collateral Trustee be required to execute and deliver any landlord lien waiver, estoppel or collateral access letter, or any account control agreement that the Collateral Trustee determines adversely affects it or otherwise subjects it to personal liability, including without limitation agreements to provide indemnity to any contractual counterparty.

125

(ff)        All of the rights, protections and immunities, including the right to indemnification, set forth in this Indenture shall be applicable to the Collateral Trustee under the Security Documents.

Section 11.12. Designations.

Except as provided in the next sentence, for purposes of the provisions hereof and of the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents requiring the Company to designate Debt for the purposes of the terms “ABL Obligations” and “Other Pari Passu Lien Obligations” or any other such designations hereunder or under the Intercreditor Agreements or the Collateral Trust Agreement, any such designation shall be sufficient if the relevant designation is set forth in writing, signed on behalf of the Company by an Officer and delivered to the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee, the ABL Collateral Agent, and if any Other Pari Passu Lien Obligations are then outstanding, each Pari Passu Lien Representative. For all purposes hereof and of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the Company hereby designates the obligations pursuant to the ABL Credit Facility or any amendment or supplement thereto or refinancing thereof, as “ABL Obligations.”

Section 11.13. Limitations on Certain Collateral and Perfection Items.

The Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required under the terms of this Indenture or the Security Documents to deliver landlord lien waivers, estoppels or collateral access letters.

129

Section 12.12. Acts of Holders.

(a)            Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing (or, with respect to Global Notes, otherwise in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary); and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section 12.12.

(b)            The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved (1) by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to such officer the execution thereof or (2) in any other manner reasonably deemed sufficient by the Trustee. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than such signer’s individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of such signer’s authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

(d)            Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

(e)            If the Company shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option, by or pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of outstanding Notes have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the outstanding Notes shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date.

130

(f)            The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to join in the giving or making of (1) any notice of default under Section 6.1, (2) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 6.2, (3) any direction referred to in Section 6.5 or (4) any request to pursue a remedy as permitted in Section 6.6. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless made, given or taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes or each affected Holder, as applicable, on such record date. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company and to each Holder in the manner set forth in Section 12.1.

(g)            Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Note may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Note or by one or more duly appointed agents, each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.

The undersigned represents and warrants to you that:

1. We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor” at least $250,000 principal amount of the Notes, and we are acquiring the Notes, for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Notes in the normal course of our business. We, and any accounts for which we are acting, are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment.

Annex B-1

2. We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the date that is one year after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which the Company or any affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only in accordance with the Private Placement Legend (as such term is defined in the indenture under which the Notes were issued) on the Notes and any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States of America. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is proposed to be made to another such institutional “accredited investor” above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the Company and the Trustee, which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such Notes for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the Company and the Trustee reserve the right prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date of the Notes with respect to applicable transfers described in the Restricted Notes Legend to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications and/or other information satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee.
