46

(b)    For the avoidance of doubt, if the Issuer has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated Total Assets or Consolidated EBITDA on a consolidated basis or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios shall not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the relevant transaction or action is permitted to be consummated or taken; provided that if such ratios or baskets improve as a result of such fluctuations, such improved ratios and/or baskets may be utilized.

(c)    In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Indenture which requires that no Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the Issuer, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists on the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Issuer has exercised its option to make an LCT Election and any Default or Event of Default occurs following the date the definitive agreements for the applicable Limited Condition Transaction were entered into and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted under this Indenture.

ARTICLE 2

THE NOTES

Section 2.01    Amount of Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited, subject to compliance with Sections 2.03 and 4.04. All Notes shall be identical in all respects other than issue prices, issuance dates, first Interest Payment Dates and first dates from which interest shall accrue.

Subject to Section 2.03, the Trustee shall authenticate the Initial Notes for original issue on the Issue Date. With respect to any Notes issued after the Issue Date (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, Initial Notes pursuant to Sections 2.07, 2.10 or 3.06 or Appendix A), the Issuer may issue such Notes but only in compliance with Section 2.03.

47

Section 2.02    Form and Dating. Provisions relating to the Notes are set forth in Appendix A, which is hereby incorporated in, and expressly made part of, this Indenture. The Notes and the certificate of authentication included therein shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Issuer is subject, if any, or usage, provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form reasonably acceptable to the Issuer. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in Exhibit A are part of the terms of this Indenture. The Notes shall be issuable in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 2.03    Execution and Authentication. One Officer shall sign the Notes for the Issuer by manual, electronic or facsimile signature.

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

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Notes executed by the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication. The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver:

(i)    Initial Notes for original issue in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $500.0 million; and

(ii)    Additional Notes from time to time for original issue in aggregate principal amounts specified by the Issuer, the terms of which Additional Notes shall be set forth in either (1) a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, (2) an Officers’ Certificate or (3) one or more indentures supplemental hereto; provided that the Issuer’s ability to issue Additional Notes shall be subject to the Company’s compliance with Section 4.04.

in each case, after the following conditions have been met:

(1)    Receipt by the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate specifying:

(A)    the amount of Notes to be authenticated pursuant to this Indenture and the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated,

(B)    whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes or Additional Notes, and

(C)    whether the Notes are to be issued as one or more Global Notes or Definitive Notes.

(2)    In the case of Additional Notes that are not fungible with the Initial Notes for federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes shall bear a different CUSIP number and ISIN.

A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee authenticates the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture. The

48

Trustee may authenticate the Note by manual, electronic or facsimile signature. Electronically imaged signatures such as .pdf files, faxed signatures or other electronic signatures to the Note and the authentication pages to the Note shall have the same effect as original signatures. A Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

The Initial Notes and the Additional Notes shall be considered collectively as a single class for all purposes of this Indenture. Holders of the Initial Notes and the Additional Notes shall vote and consent together on all matters to which such Holders are entitled to vote or consent as one class, and none of the Holders of the Initial Notes or the Additional Notes shall have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter to which such Holders are entitled to vote or consent.

Section 2.04    Registrar and Paying Agent. The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent.

The Issuer initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. The Issuer has entered into a letter of representations with DTC in the form provided by DTC and the Trustee and each Registrar, co-registrar, Paying Agent, additional paying agent or custodian (“Agent”) is hereby authorized to act in accordance with such letter and applicable procedures of DTC. Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Paying Agent or co-registrar not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any of its domestically incorporated Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or transfer agent.

Initially, the Trustee shall act as Registrar and Paying Agent with regard to the Notes.

Section 2.05    Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. No later than 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on each due date of the principal and interest on any Note, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming due. The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Noteholders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. If the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries, the Trustee shall serve as the Paying Agent. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.05, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.

Section 2.06    Noteholder Lists. The Registrar shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Noteholders. If

49

the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Noteholders.

Section 2.07    Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Note claims that such Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note; provided the Holder satisfies the reasonable requirements of the Trustee and/or the Authentication Agent, as applicable. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Issuer and the Trustee (and the Paying Agent, Registrar and Authentication Agent, if not the Trustee) to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-registrar from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note.

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuer. The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Notes.

Section 2.08    Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee (or an Authentication Agent), except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuer receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser.

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

Section 2.09    Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes beneficially owned by the Issuer, or by any Affiliate of the Issuer, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in actually relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Trust Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned that have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or any obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Issuer or of such other obligor.

Section 2.10    Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes and deliver them in exchange for temporary Notes.

50

Section 2.11    Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and dispose of all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation in its customary manner. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that have been redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, except pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

Section 2.12    Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuer shall pay the defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) at the rate borne by the Notes in any lawful manner. The Issuer may pay the defaulted interest to the persons who are Noteholders on a subsequent special record date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly deliver to each Noteholder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

Section 2.13    CUSIP or ISIN Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” or “ISIN” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any defect in the “CUSIP” or “ISIN” number that appears on any Note, check, advice of payment or redemption notice, and any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in such numbers.

Section 2.14    Authentication Agent. The Trustee may appoint an authentication agent (the “Authentication Agent”) reasonably acceptable to the Issuer that shall be authorized to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in the authentication and delivery of Notes in connection with the original issuance thereof and transfers and exchanges of Notes hereunder, including under Sections 2.03, 2.07 and 2.10 and Appendix A as fully to all intents and purposes as though the Authentication Agent had been expressly authorized by this Indenture and those Sections to authenticate and deliver Notes. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by a Trust Officer, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Issuer. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication and delivery of Notes by the Authentication Agent shall be deemed to be authentication and delivery of such Notes “by the Trustee,” and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authentication Agent shall be deemed to satisfy any requirement hereunder or in the Notes for the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. Such Authentication Agent shall at all times be a Person eligible to serve as trustee hereunder pursuant to Section 7.10.

Any corporation or other entity into which any Authentication Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authentication Agent shall be a party, or any corporation or other entity succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authentication Agent, shall be the successor of the Authentication Agent hereunder, if such successor corporation or other entity is otherwise eligible under this Section 2.14, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or the Authentication Agent or such successor corporation or other entity.

Any Authentication Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Issuer. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authentication Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authentication Agent and to the Issuer. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authentication Agent

51

shall cease to be eligible under this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authentication Agent (which may be the Trustee), shall give written notice of such appointment to the Issuer and shall deliver notice of such appointment to all Holders.

The Issuer agrees to pay to the Authentication Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services as agreed upon in writing.

The provisions of Sections 7.02, 7.03, 7.04 and this Section 2.14 shall be applicable to any Authentication Agent.

If an Authentication Agent is appointed pursuant to this Section 2.14, the Notes may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

                                         ,

as Authentication Agent, certifies that this is one of the Notes described in the within-named Indenture.

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION

Section 3.01    Notices to Trustee. If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.08, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth: (1) the redemption date, (2) the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, (3) the redemption price, if then ascertainable, and (4) that such redemption is being made pursuant to Section 3.08.

Any optional redemption referenced in such Officers’ Certificate may be cancelled by the Issuer at any time prior to notice of redemption being sent to any Holder and thereafter shall be null and void.

Section 3.02    Selection of Notes to be Redeemed. In the case of any partial redemption, the Notes shall be selected for redemption, with respect to Global Notes, in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC and, with respect to certificated Notes, by the Trustee by lot; provided that no Note of $2,000 in principal amount or less shall be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. With respect to certificated Notes, upon the request of the Issuer, a new certificated Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original certificated Note. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer in writing promptly of the Notes or portions of Notes to be redeemed.

Section 3.03    Notice of Redemption. At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a date for redemption of Notes (such date, a “Redemption Date”), the Issuer shall mail, or cause to be mailed, a notice of redemption by first-class mail, and in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, by electronic transmission or otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC, to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed.

52

The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including any CUSIP or ISIN numbers) and shall state:

(a)    the redemption date;

(b)    the redemption price or the information specified in Section 3.08(d);

(c)    the name and address of the applicable Paying Agent;

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

(e)    if fewer than all the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the portion of the principal amounts of the particular Notes to be redeemed;

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

(g)    if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Issuer’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Issuer in its sole discretion), 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 Issuer in its sole discretion) by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed; and

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

At the Issuer’s written request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense. In such event, the Issuer shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section 3.03 at least two Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be sent or caused to be sent to Holders pursuant to this Section 3.03, unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period.

Any notice to Holders of such a redemption pursuant to Section 3.08(d) shall include the appropriate calculation of the redemption price, but does not need to include the redemption price itself.

Section 3.04    Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is sent, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice (except as provided for pursuant to Section 3.08(f)). Upon surrender to the applicable Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the related Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the date of redemption). Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder.

Section 3.05    Deposit of Redemption Price. At or prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the redemption date, the Issuer shall deposit with the applicable Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money in U.S. Dollars sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest (subject

53

to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the related Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the date of redemption) on all Notes to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption that have been delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee for cancellation. The Paying Agent shall promptly distribute to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed the applicable redemption price thereof and accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed.

If the Issuer complies with the provisions of this Section 3.05, on and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption whether or not such Notes are presented for payment, and the Holders of such Notes shall have no further rights with respect to such Notes except the right to receive such payment of the redemption price and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Notes upon surrender of such Notes. If a Note is redeemed on or after a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date in respect of such Note shall be paid on such redemption date to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders whose Notes shall be subject to redemption by the Issuer.

Section 3.06    Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Issuer’s expense) a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered; provided that each new Note shall be in a principal amount $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Global Note, upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, an appropriate notation shall be made on such Note to decrease the principal amount thereof to an amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof.

Section 3.07    [Reserved]

Section 3.08    Optional Redemption.

(a)    Except as set forth in clauses (c) and (d) of this Section 3.08 and Section 4.11(g), the Notes shall not be redeemable at the option of the Issuer prior to June 15, 2024.

(b)    On or after June 15, 2024, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem all or any portion of the Notes, on any one or more occasions, upon not less than 15 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior notice. The Notes may be redeemed at the redemption prices set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). The following prices are for Notes redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on June 15 of the years set forth below, and are expressed as percentages of principal amount:

(c)    At any time and from time to time, prior to June 15, 2024, the Issuer may, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to a maximum of 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings, at a

54

redemption price equal to 104.500% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date); provided, however, that immediately after giving effect to any such redemption, at least 50% of the original aggregate principal amount of Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) remains outstanding. Any such redemption shall be made within 90 days of such Equity Offering upon not less than 15 and no more than 60 days’ prior notice.

(d)    In addition, the Issuer may choose to redeem all or any portion of the Notes, on any one or more occasions, prior to June 15, 2024, upon not less than 15 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, at a redemption price equal to the sum of:

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

(ii)    the Applicable Premium,

plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). Any notice to Holders of such a redemption shall set forth the manner of the calculation of the redemption price, but need not set forth the redemption price itself. The actual redemption price, calculated as described above, must be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the redemption date.

(e)    If the optional redemption date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date; provided that if the Notes are in global form, such accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC.

(f)    Any redemption notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including the completion of an Equity Offering, an Incurrence of Debt or other corporate transaction.

Section 3.09    Mandatory Redemption; Sinking Fund; Open Market Purchases. The Issuer shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. However, under certain circumstances, the Issuer may be required to offer to purchase the Notes pursuant to Section 4.07 and Section 4.11 of this Indenture. The Issuer and its Affiliates may acquire Notes by means other than a redemption, whether by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with applicable securities laws, so long as such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of this Indenture.

ARTICLE 4

COVENANTS

Section 4.01    Covenant Suspension. On and after the first day (such date, the “Suspension Date”) that:

(a)    the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies, and

(b)    no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture,

55

the Parent Guarantor and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to the following Sections of this Indenture: Section 4.04, Section 4.05, Section 4.07, Section 4.08, Section 4.09, Section 4.12 (but only with respect to any Person that would be required to become a Guarantor after the date of the commencement of the applicable Suspension Period) and clause (d) of Section 5.02 (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). In the event that the Parent Guarantor and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the preceding sentence and, subsequently, one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraws its ratings or downgrades the ratings assigned to the Notes below the required Investment Grade Ratings or a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing (the date of such ratings withdrawal or downgrade or the occurrence of such Default or Event of Default, the “Reversion Date”), then the Parent Guarantor and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants for all periods after that withdrawal, downgrade, Default or Event of Default; provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist under this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period (as defined below), regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.”

The Issuer shall give the Trustee written notice of any such suspension of covenants and in any event not later than five Business Days after such suspension has occurred. In the absence of such notice, the Trustee shall assume that the Suspended Covenants are in full force and effect.

Compliance with the provisions of Section 4.05 with respect to Restricted Payments made after the Reversion Date shall be calculated in accordance with the terms of Section 4.05 as though such section had been in effect during the entire Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period shall reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of Section 4.05.

Solely for the purpose of determining the amount of Permitted Liens under Section 4.06 during any Suspension Period and without limiting the Parent Guarantor’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s ability to Incur Debt during any Suspension Period, to the extent that calculations in Section 4.06 refer to Section 4.04, such calculations shall be made as though Section 4.04 remains in effect during the Suspension Period. On the Reversion Date, all Debt Incurred during the Suspension Period shall be classified to have been Incurred pursuant to paragraph (a) of Section 4.04 or one of the clauses of paragraph (b) of Section 4.04 (to the extent such Debt would be permitted to be Incurred thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Debt Incurred prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Debt would not be permitted to be Incurred pursuant to paragraph (a) of Section 4.04 or one of the clauses of paragraph (b) of Section 4.04, such Debt shall be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under clause (x) of paragraph (b) of Section 4.04. For purposes of determining compliance with Section 4.07, on the Reversion Date, the Net Available Cash from all Asset Sales not applied in accordance with Section 4.07 shall be deemed to be reset to zero. No Subsidiaries may be designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries during any Suspension Period.

The Issuer shall give the Trustee written notice of any occurrence of a Reversion Date not later than five Business Days after such Reversion Date. After any such notice of the occurrence of a Reversion Date, the Trustee shall assume that the Suspended Covenants apply and are in full force and effect.

56

Section 4.02    Payment of Notes. The Issuer shall promptly pay, or cause to be paid, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and in this Indenture. Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if, as of 11:00 a.m. New York City time on such date, the Trustee or the applicable Paying Agent holds in accordance with this Indenture money sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due.

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified therefor in the Notes, and they shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Notes to the extent lawful.

Section 4.03    Reports. Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Issuer shall furnish to the Holders or cause the Trustee to furnish to the Holders, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations that are then applicable to the Parent Guarantor (or, if the Parent Guarantor is then not subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations for non-accelerated filers):

(1)    all quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be filed by the Parent Guarantor with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Parent Guarantor were required to file such reports; and

(2)    all current reports required to be filed by the Parent Guarantor with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Parent Guarantor were required to file such reports;

provided that the electronic filing of the foregoing reports by the Parent Guarantor on the SEC’s ▇▇▇▇▇ system (or any successor system) shall be deemed to satisfy the Issuer’s delivery obligations to the Trustee and any Holder, it being understood that the Trustee shall have no responsibility to determine whether any reports have been filed on the SEC’s ▇▇▇▇▇ system (or any successor system).

All such reports shall be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports. Each annual report on Form 10-K shall include a report on the Parent Guarantor’s consolidated financial statements by the Parent Guarantor’s certified independent accountants. In addition, unless the SEC shall not accept such a filing, the Parent Guarantor shall file a copy of each of the reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 4.03 on the SEC’s ▇▇▇▇▇ system (or any successor system) within the time periods specified above, and the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor shall post the reports on its website within those time periods.

If, at any time, the Parent Guarantor is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Parent Guarantor shall nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 4.03 with the SEC within the time periods specified above, unless the SEC shall not accept such a filing. Neither the Issuer nor the Parent Guarantor shall take any action reasonably expected to cause the SEC not to accept any such filings. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC shall not accept the Parent Guarantor’s filings for any reason, the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor shall post the reports referred to in the preceding paragraphs on a website within the time periods specified above (which may be nonpublic and may be maintained by the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or a third party) to which access shall be given to Holders, prospective purchasers of the Notes (which prospective purchasers shall be limited to “qualified institutional buyers” within the meaning of Rule 144A of the Securities Act) or non-U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act), securities analysts and market making institutions that certify their status as such to the reasonable satisfaction of the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor.

57

If the Parent Guarantor has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries and such Unrestricted Subsidiaries, either individually or collectively, would otherwise have been a Significant Subsidiary, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraphs shall include a presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of the financial condition and results of operations of the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor. In addition, the Issuer agrees that, if at any time it is not required to file with the SEC the reports required by the preceding paragraphs, it shall furnish to the Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

To the extent any information is not provided within the time periods specified in this Section 4.03 and such information is subsequently provided, the Issuer shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations with respect thereto at such time and any Default with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been cured.

The Issuer shall be deemed to have furnished such reports to the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes if any direct or indirect parent of the Parent Guarantor has filed such reports (including, in the case of any annual report on Form 10-K, reports by the certified independent accountants of such direct or indirect parent on such direct or indirect parent’s consolidated financial statements) with the SEC using the ▇▇▇▇▇ filing system (or any successor thereto) within the time periods specified above; provided that (i) such direct or indirect parent has become a Guarantor and (ii) such reports provide selected financial information that show any material differences between the financial condition and results of operations of the Parent Guarantor and its consolidated subsidiaries, on the one hand, and such direct or indirect parent and its consolidated subsidiaries, on the other hand.

Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive notice or knowledge of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s, any Guarantor’s or any other Person’s compliance with any of its covenants under this Indenture (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates). The Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Issuer’s, any Guarantor’s or any other Person’s compliance with the covenants described herein or with respect to any reports or other documents filed under this Indenture.

Section 4.04    Limitation on Debt. The Parent Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur, directly or indirectly, any Debt (including Acquired Debt) unless, after giving effect to the application of the proceeds thereof and either:

(a)    the Debt is Debt (in each case, including Acquired Debt) of the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary and after giving Pro Forma Effect to the Incurrence of the Debt and the application of the proceeds thereof, the Consolidated Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio would be at least 2.00 to 1.00; provided that the aggregate principal amount of Debt permitted to be Incurred pursuant to this paragraph (a) by non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries may not exceed, at the time of the Incurrence thereof, the greater of (i) $75.0 million and (ii) 10% of Consolidated EBITDA for the Test Period, or

(iii)    Debt of the Parent Guarantor owing to and held by any Restricted Subsidiary and Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary owing to and held by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that (1) any subsequent issue or transfer of Capital Stock or other event that results in any Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any subsequent transfer of that Debt (except to the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute the Incurrence of that Debt by the issuer thereof, and (2) if the Issuer or a Guarantor is the obligor on that Debt and the Debt is owed to a Restricted Subsidiary that is not the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor, the Debt is expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations with respect to the Notes or the applicable Note Guarantee;

For purposes of determining compliance with any restriction on the Incurrence of Debt in U.S. Dollars where Debt is denominated in a different currency, the amount of such Debt shall be the Dollar Equivalent determined on the date of such determination.

61

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.04:

(A)    in the event that an item of Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Debt described in the first and second paragraphs of this Section 4.04, the Parent Guarantor, in its sole discretion, shall classify such item of Debt at the time of Incurrence and only be required to include the amount and type of such Debt in one of the above clauses of paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 4.04;

(B)    the Parent Guarantor shall be entitled to divide and classify and reclassify an item of Debt in more than one of the types of Debt described in this Section 4.04; provided that Debt outstanding under the Credit Agreement on the Issue Date shall at all times be treated as Incurred under clause (ii) of paragraph (b) of this Section 4.04 and may not be reclassified;

(C)    Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments relating to, or Liens securing, Debt that is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Debt shall not be included;

(D)    if obligations in respect of letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments are Incurred pursuant to any Credit Facility and are being treated as Incurred pursuant to any clause of paragraph (b) of this Section 4.04 or paragraph (a) of this Section 4.04 and the letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments relate to other Debt, then such other Debt shall not be included;

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

(F)    in the event that the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary enters into or increases commitments under a revolving credit facility, the Consolidated Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio or the Total Leverage Ratio, as applicable, for borrowings and reborrowings thereunder (and including issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder) will, at the Issuer’s option as elected on the date the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, enters into or increases such commitments, either (a) be determined on the date of such revolving credit facility or such increase in commitments (assuming that the full amount thereof has been borrowed as of such date), and, if such Consolidated Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio or Total Leverage Ratio, as applicable, test is satisfied with respect thereto at such time, any borrowing or reborrowing thereunder (and the issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder) shall be permitted under this covenant irrespective of the Consolidated Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio or the Total Leverage Ratio, as applicable, at the time of any borrowing or reborrowing (or issuance or creation of letters of credit or bankers’ acceptances thereunder) or (b) be determined on the date such amount is borrowed pursuant to any such facility or increased commitment; and

(G)    the amount of Debt issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof shall be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined on the basis of GAAP.

Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Debt, the payment of dividends in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock or the reclassification of commitments or obligations not treated as Debt due to a change in GAAP shall not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Debt for purposes of this Section 4.04.

62

If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Debt of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Incurred by such Subsidiary as of such date (and, if such Debt is not permitted to be Incurred as of such date under this Section 4.04, the Issuer shall be in default of this Section 4.04).

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Debt, the 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-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Debt does not exceed (a) the principal amount of such Debt being refinanced plus (b) the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, accrued and unpaid interest, premiums (including, without limitation, tender premiums) and other costs and expenses (including, without limitation, original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees) Incurred in connection with such refinancing.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.04, the maximum amount of Debt that the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary may Incur pursuant to this Section 4.04 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Debt Incurred to refinance other Debt, if Incurred in a different currency from the Debt being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Debt is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

The Parent Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Debt that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Debt of the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Debt is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee to the extent and in the same manner as such Debt is subordinated to other Debt of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be.

This Indenture shall not treat (1) unsecured Debt as subordinated or junior to secured Debt merely because it is unsecured or (2) senior Debt as subordinated or junior to any other senior Debt merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral or is secured by different collateral or because it is guaranteed by different obligors.

Section 4.05    Limitation on Restricted Payments. The Parent Guarantor shall not make, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to make, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Payment unless at the time of, and after giving effect to, the proposed Restricted Payment,

(a)    no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would result therefrom),

(b)    the Parent Guarantor could Incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to paragraph (a) of Section 4.04, or

(c)    the aggregate amount of such Restricted Payment and all other Restricted Payments (including Restricted Payments made pursuant to clause (d) (without duplication) and clause (l) of the next succeeding paragraph of this Section 4.05, but excluding all other Restricted

63

Payments made pursuant to other clauses of the next succeeding paragraph of this Section 4.05) declared or made after the Issue Date (the amount of any Restricted Payment, if made other than in cash, to be based upon Fair Market Value) would not exceed an amount equal to the sum of (without duplication):

(i)    50% of the aggregate amount of Consolidated Net Income accrued during the period (treated as one accounting period) from July 1, 2018 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter of the Parent Guarantor ending prior to the date of such Restricted Payment (or if the aggregate amount of Consolidated Net Income for such period shall be a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit); provided that such amount shall not be less than zero, plus

(ii)    100% of the aggregate Capital Stock Sale Proceeds received after August 23, 2018, plus

(iii)    the sum of:

(A)    the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds received by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary from the issuance or sale after August 23, 2018 of convertible or exchangeable Debt that has been converted into or exchanged for Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Parent Guarantor, and

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.05, in the event that a Restricted Payment meets the criteria of more than one of the exceptions described in clauses (a) through (t) of the preceding paragraph, meets any of the criteria of any of the clauses of the definition of “Permitted

67

Investment,” or is permitted pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 4.05, the Parent Guarantor, in its sole discretion, (x) shall classify such Restricted Payment on the date of such Restricted Payment and may later reclassify such Restricted Payment in any manner that complies with this Section 4.05 (based on circumstances existing at the time of reclassification), (y) may divide and later redivide the amount of a Restricted Payment among more than one of such clauses or the first paragraph of this Section 4.05 and (z) shall only be required to include such Restricted Payment or any portion thereof in one of such clauses or the first paragraph of this Section 4.05.

The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the Fair Market Value on the date of such Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be paid, transferred or issued by the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to such Restricted Payment. The Fair Market Value of any cash Restricted Payment shall be its face amount, and the Fair Market Value of any non-cash Restricted Payment, property or assets other than cash shall be determined conclusively by the Issuer acting in good faith.

Section 4.06    Limitation on Liens. The Parent Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, Incur or permit to exist, any Lien (other than Permitted Liens), upon any of its properties or assets (including Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), whether owned on the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom unless either (i) it has made or shall make effective provision whereby the Notes and the Note Guarantees shall be secured by that Lien equally and ratably with (or prior to) all other Debt of the Issuer or any Guarantor secured by that Lien or (ii) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Obligations of the Issuer or any Guarantor, the Notes and the Note Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior to such Liens.

Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to this Section 4.06 shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of each of the Liens described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the first paragraph of this Section 4.06.

With respect to any Lien securing Debt that was permitted to secure such Debt at the time of the Incurrence of such Debt, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Debt. The “Increased Amount” of any Debt shall mean any increase in the amount of such Debt due to any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference, the payment of interest in the form of additional Debt with the same terms and increases in the amount of Debt outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Debt.

Section 4.07    Limitation on Asset Sales.

(a)    The Parent Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Sale unless:

(i)    the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration (including by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the properties and assets subject to that Asset Sale (such Fair Market Value to be determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale); and

(ii)    at least 75% of the consideration paid to the Parent Guarantor or the Restricted Subsidiary in connection with the Asset Sale is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.

68

For the purposes of this Section 4.07, the following shall be considered to be cash:

(1)    the assumption by the purchaser of Debt or other liabilities of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Debt or other liabilities that are by their terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Note Guarantees) and from which the Parent Guarantor and the Restricted Subsidiaries have been unconditionally released;

(2)    securities or other assets received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days after the closing of such Asset Sale shall be considered to be cash to the extent of the cash received in that conversion;

(3)    the assumption by the purchaser of Debt of any Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Sale, to the extent that the Parent Guarantor and each other Restricted Subsidiary are unconditionally released from any Guarantee of payment of such Debt in connection with such Asset Sale;

(4)    Productive Assets received by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such Asset Sale; and

(5)    any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with the Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received in respect of Asset Sales that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (i) $75.0 million and (ii) 10.0% of Consolidated EBITDA for the Test Period.

(b)    The Net Available Cash (or any portion thereof) from Asset Sales may be applied by the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent the Parent Guarantor or the Restricted Subsidiary elects (or is required by the terms of any Debt):

(i)    to repay secured Debt of the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor (and if the secured Debt being repaid is revolving credit Debt, to correspondingly permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto), or any Debt of a non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiary (excluding, in any such case, any Debt owed to the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary);

(ii)    to repay other Debt (and if the Debt being repaid is revolving credit Debt, to correspondingly permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto) of the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary (excluding (A) Subordinated Obligations and (B) Debt owed to the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary) so long as the Issuer shall equally and ratably reduce obligations under the Notes (I) on a pro rata basis as provided under Section 3.08, (II) through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or (III) by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for a Prepayment Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including the date of repurchase;

(iii)    to reinvest in Additional Assets (including by means of an Investment in Additional Assets by a Restricted Subsidiary with Net Available Cash received by the Parent Guarantor or another Restricted Subsidiary); or

69

(iv)    any combination of the foregoing;

provided, however, that pending the final application of any such Net Available Cash in accordance with clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Debt or otherwise invest such Net Available Cash in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

(c)    Any Net Available Cash from an Asset Sale not applied in accordance with Section 4.07(b) within 365 days from the date of the receipt of that Net Available Cash constitutes “Excess Proceeds”; provided, however, that a binding commitment to reinvest in Additional Assets pursuant to Section 4.07(b)(iii) shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Available Cash from the date of such commitment; provided that (i) such reinvestment is consummated within 180 days of the end of the 365-day period referred to in this sentence, and (ii) if such reinvestment is not consummated within the period set forth in subclause (i) of this clause (c) or such binding commitment is terminated, the Net Available Cash not so applied shall be deemed to be Excess Proceeds.

When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds not previously subject to a Prepayment Offer (as defined below) exceeds $50.0 million, the Issuer shall be required to make an offer to purchase the Notes (the “Prepayment Offer”), which offer shall be in the amount of the Allocable Excess Proceeds (as defined below), on a pro rata basis according to principal amount, at a purchase price of at least 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the purchase date (subject to the right of Holders on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth in this Indenture; provided that if the Notes are in global form, interests in such Global Notes shall be selected for redemption in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC, although no Note of $2,000 in principal amount or less shall be purchased in part. To the extent that any portion of the amount of Net Available Cash remains after compliance with the preceding sentence and provided that all Holders have been given the opportunity to tender their Notes for purchase in accordance with this Indenture, the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary may use the remaining amount for any purpose permitted by this Indenture and the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset to zero.

The term “Allocable Excess Proceeds” shall mean the product of:

(1) the Excess Proceeds, and

(2) a fraction,

(d)    (1) Not later than ten Business Days after the Issuer is obligated to make a Prepayment Offer pursuant to Section 4.07(c), the Issuer shall send, or cause to be sent, a written notice, by first-class mail (or electronic transmission in the case of Notes held in book-entry form), to the Holders

70

(with a copy to the Trustee) with respect to that Prepayment Offer. The notice shall state, among other things, the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, a Business Day no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date the notice is delivered.

(2)    At or before 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the purchase date with respect to any Prepayment Offer, the Issuer shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) an amount equal to the amount of the Prepayment Offer (the “Offer Amount”) to be held for payment in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.07. Upon the expiration of the period for which the Prepayment Offer remains open (the “Offer Period”), the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes or portions thereof that have been properly tendered and are to be accepted by the Issuer. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall, on the purchase date, mail or, in the case of Global Notes, deliver in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC payment to each tendering Holder in the amount of its pro rata share of the Offer Amount. In the event that the aggregate purchase price of the Notes delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee is less than the Offer Amount, the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall deliver the excess to the Issuer immediately after the expiration of the Offer Period for application in accordance with this Section 4.07.

(3)    Unless otherwise provided by the policies and procedures of DTC, Holders electing to have a Note purchased shall be required to surrender the Note, with an appropriate form duly completed and attached to the Note, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Issuer or its agent at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. Unless otherwise provided by the policies and procedures of DTC, Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Issuer receives not later than two Business Days prior to the purchase date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note that was delivered for purchase by the Holder and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Note purchased. If at the expiration of the Offer Period the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the Issuer shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis for all Notes (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased). Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry).

(4)    A Note shall be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the Trustee or the applicable Paying Agent mails or, in the case of Global Notes, delivers payment therefor to the surrendering Holder.

(e)    Subject to Section 9.02(i), the Issuer’s obligation to make a Prepayment Offer may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

(f)    The Issuer shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.07. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.07, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.07 by virtue thereof.

71

Section 4.08    Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries. The Parent Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary that is not the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist any consensual restriction on the right of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(a)    pay dividends, in cash or otherwise, or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock, or pay any Debt or other obligation owed, to the Parent Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to the dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on common stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock),

(b)    make any loans or advances to the Parent Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the subordination of loans or advances made to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to other Debt Incurred by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances), or

(c)    sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Parent Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that such transfers shall not include any type of transfer described in clause (a) or (b) above).

The foregoing limitations shall not apply to restrictions:

(A)    in effect on the Issue Date, including pursuant to the Credit Agreement;

(B)    relating to Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary existing at the time it became a Restricted Subsidiary if such restriction was not created in connection with or in anticipation of the transaction or series of transactions pursuant to which that Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was acquired by the Parent Guarantor;

(C)    that result from any amendment, restatement, modification, renewal, supplement, extension or replacement of an agreement referred to in clauses (A), (B), (F), (G), (J) or this clause (C) in this second paragraph of Section 4.08 (including, in each case, in connection with the Refinancing of Debt Incurred thereunder); provided that the restriction contained in such amendment, restatement, modification, renewal, supplement, extension, replacement or Refinancing is not materially more restrictive (as determined in good faith by the Parent Guarantor), taken as a whole, than the restrictions of the same type contained in the agreements or instruments referred to in clauses (A), (B), (F), (G) or (J) or this clause (C) in this second paragraph of Section 4.08, as applicable;

(D)    resulting from the Incurrence of any Permitted Debt as defined in paragraph (b) of Section 4.04; provided that if the obligor of such Debt is the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor, the restriction is no less favorable to the Holders in any material respect (as determined in good faith by the Parent Guarantor) than the restrictions of the same type contained in this Indenture;

(E)    existing by reason of applicable law, rule, regulation or order;

(F)    with respect to clause (c) set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 4.08 only, relating to Debt that is permitted to be Incurred and secured without also securing the Notes pursuant to Section 4.04 and Section 4.06 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the properties or assets securing that Debt;

72

(G)    encumbering properties or assets at the time the properties and assets were acquired by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary, so long as the restriction relates solely to the properties and assets so acquired and was not created in connection with or in anticipation of the acquisition;

(H)    resulting from customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of leases or customary provisions in other agreements (including, without limitation, intellectual property licenses entered into in the ordinary course of business) that restrict assignment of the agreements or rights thereunder;

(I)    which are customary restrictions contained in asset sale agreements limiting the transfer of property or assets pending the closing of the sale;

(J)    existing by reason of this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees;

(K)    any Debt or contractual requirements Incurred with respect to a Qualified Securitization Transaction relating exclusively to a Securitization Subsidiary that, as determined in good faith by the Parent Guarantor or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, are necessary to effect such Qualified Securitization Transaction; and

(L)    which are customary provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements entered into with the approval of the Parent Guarantor’s Board of Directors and otherwise permitted under this Indenture, which limitation is applicable only to the assets that are the subject of such agreements.

Section 4.09    Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. The Parent Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, conduct any business or enter into or suffer to exist any transaction or series of transactions (including the purchase, sale, transfer, assignment, lease, conveyance or exchange of any property or asset or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Parent Guarantor (an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of the greater of (i) $50.0 million and (ii) 7.5% of Consolidated EBITDA for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters ending prior to the date of such disposition for which financial statements are required to be filed pursuant to Section 4.03, unless:

(a)    the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are materially no less favorable to the Parent Guarantor or that Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, taken as a whole, than those that could be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Parent Guarantor, and

(b)    if the Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate consideration in excess of the greater of (i) $100.0 million and (ii) 15.0% of Consolidated EBITDA for the Test Period, the Board of Directors (including a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors) approves the Affiliate Transaction and, in its good faith judgment, determines that the Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (a) of this paragraph as evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors promptly delivered to the Trustee.

The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall, on the Change of Control Purchase Date, mail or, in the case of Global Notes, deliver in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC payment to each tendering Holder of the Change of Control Purchase Price. In the event that the aggregate Change of Control Purchase Price is less than the amount delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee or the Paying Agent, the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall deliver the excess to the Issuer immediately after the Change of Control Purchase Date.

(e)    The Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer 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 Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (ii) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.08 to redeem all of the Notes, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.

(h)    Subject to Section 9.02(g) and (h), the obligation of the Issuer to make a Change of Control Offer pursuant to this Section 4.11 may be waived or modified at any time prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control with the written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes.

77

Section 4.12    Additional Note Guarantees. The Parent Guarantor shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than any Securitization Subsidiary or Foreign Subsidiary) that is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary (and any Domestic Subsidiary that is a non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary if such non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary guarantees other capital markets debt securities of the Issuer or a Guarantor), other than the Issuer or the Subsidiary Guarantors, to guarantee the payment of any Debt of the Issuer or any other Guarantor incurred under any Credit Facility or other capital markets debt securities unless:

(1)    such Restricted Subsidiary within 30 days executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture providing for a Note Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary, except that with respect to a guarantee of Debt of the Issuer or any Guarantor, if such Debt is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee, any such Note Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Debt shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Note Guarantee substantially to the same extent as such Debt is subordinated to the Notes; and

(2)    such Restricted Subsidiary waives and shall not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against any other Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Restricted Subsidiary under its Guarantee;

provided that this Section 4.12 shall not be applicable to any Note Guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary. Each Guarantee shall be released in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.10.

Section 4.13    Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer and the Guarantors in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

The Issuer may also from time to time designate additional offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

The Issuer hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Issuer in accordance with Section 2.04.

Section 4.14    Existence. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 4, Article 5 and Section 10.10 and subject to the ability of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary to convert (or similar action) to another form of legal entity under the laws of the jurisdiction under which the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary then exists, the Parent Guarantor shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and the existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, and the material rights, licenses and franchises of the Parent Guarantor and each

78

Restricted Subsidiary; provided that the Parent Guarantor is not required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the existence of any Restricted Subsidiary, if the maintenance or preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Section 4.15    Annual Officers’ Certificate as to Compliance. Not later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Parent Guarantor, beginning with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate (which need not comply with Section 12.05 of this Indenture) indicating whether the Officers signing such certificate know of any Default that occurred during the previous year.

(g)    the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor, any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

A Default under clause (d) is not an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding notify the Issuer of the Default and the Issuer does not cure that Default within the time specified in clause (d) after receipt of such notice (the “Notice of Default”); provided that a Notice of Default may not be given with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken, and reported publicly or to holders, if such action or omission was so reported more than two years prior to such Notice of Default. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.”

The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 10 Business Days of the date on which the Issuer has become aware of the occurrence or received notice thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any Default, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

The Trustee shall be under no obligation to determine whether any Event of Default or potential Event of Default has occurred.

Following an Event of Default or potential Event of Default, the Trustee shall have the right to notify the Issuer to make all payments following an Event of Default or potential Event of Default to or to the order of the Trustee. Any time period in this Indenture to cure any actual or alleged Default or Event of Default may be extended or stayed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 6.02    Acceleration. If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes (other than an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(g) or 6.01(h)) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee (at the written direction of, and as indemnified by, the registered Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes) or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may, by notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, declare the principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes to be immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(g) or 6.01(h) shall occur, the principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes shall be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act by the Trustee or the Holder of the Notes.

Any Notice of Default, notice of acceleration or instruction to the Trustee to provide a Notice of Default, notice of acceleration or take any other action (a “Noteholder Direction”) provided by any one or more Holders (each a “Directing Holder”) must be accompanied by a written representation from each such Holder delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee that such Holder is not (or, in the case such Holder is DTC or its nominee, that, to such Holder’s knowledge, it is being instructed by beneficial owners that are not) Net Short (a “Position Representation”), which representation, in the case of a Noteholder Direction relating to the delivery of a Notice of Default shall be deemed a continuing representation until the resulting Event of Default is cured or otherwise ceases to exist or the Notes are accelerated. In addition, each Directing Holder must, at the time of providing a Noteholder Direction, covenant to provide the Issuer upon written request with such other information as the Issuer may reasonably request from time to time in order to verify the accuracy of such Directing Holder’s Position Representation within five Business Days of the 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

83

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 its direction to the Trustee.

If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Issuer 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 Officers’ Certificate stating that the Issuer has initiated 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 that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to such Event of Default shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending a final and nonappealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction on such matter (a “Final Decision”) if, without the participation of such Holder, the percentage of Notes held by the remaining Holders that provided such Noteholder Direction would have been insufficient to validly provide such Noteholder Direction. Once such Officers’ Certificate has been provided to the Trustee, the 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 Issuer, acting in good faith, provides to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that a Final Decision has been made that a Directing Holder failed to satisfy its Verification Covenant, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed, and the Trustee shall take no further action pursuant to the related Noteholder Direction until such time as the Issuer provides the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate that the Verification Covenant has been satisfied (a “Covenant Satisfaction Officers’ Certificate”). The Issuer shall promptly deliver a Covenant Satisfaction Officers’ Certificate following satisfaction by the applicable Directing Holder of its Verification Covenant. Any breach of the Position Representation (as confirmed by a Final Decision) shall result in such Holder’s participation in such Noteholder Direction being disregarded; and, if, without the participation of such Holders, the percentage of Notes held by the remaining 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; provided, however, this shall not invalidate any indemnity or security provided by the Directing Holders to the Trustee, which obligations shall continue to survive.

Notwithstanding anything in the preceding two paragraphs to the contrary, any Noteholder Direction delivered to the Trustee during the pendency of an Event of Default under the bankruptcy provisions shall not require compliance with the foregoing paragraphs.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any Noteholder Direction, Position Representation, Verification Covenant, Officers’ Certificate or other document 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, verify any statements in any Officers’ 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 litigation or a Noteholder Direction after a Verification Covenant Officers’ Certificate has been provided to it but prior to receipt of a Covenant Satisfaction Officers’ Certificate. The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility to the Issuer, any Guarantor, any Holder or any other Person in connection with

84

any Noteholder Direction or Officers’ Certificate and shall have no responsibility to determine whether or not any Holder of Notes has delivered a Position Representation or that such Position Representation conforms with this Indenture or any other agreement.

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 Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.02. Each Holder 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 in accordance with this Section 6.02, or arising out of or in connection with following instructions or taking actions in accordance with a Noteholder Direction.

The Issuer 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 this Section 6.02, or arising out of or in connection with following instructions or taking actions in accordance with a Noteholder Direction.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee will treat all Holders equally with respect to their rights under this Section 6.02. In connection with the requisite percentages required under this Section 6.02, the Trustee shall also treat all outstanding Notes equally irrespective of any Position Representation in determining whether the requisite percentage has been obtained with respect to the initial delivery of the Noteholder Direction.

The Issuer hereby confirms that any and all other actions that the Trustee takes or omits to take under this Section 6.02 and all fees, costs expenses of the Trustee and its agents and counsel arising hereunder and in connection herewith shall be covered by the Issuer’s indemnification obligations under Section 7.07 hereof.

In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(e) has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if the default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(e) shall be remedied or cured by the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary or waived by the Holders of the relevant Debt within 30 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences if (1) such annulment would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived.

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

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note 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 6.04    Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may waive all past defaults (except with respect to nonpayment of principal, premium

85

or interest) and rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences if (1) such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that became due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right. If a Default is deemed to occur solely as a consequence of the existence of another Default (the “Initial Default”), then, at the time such Initial Default is cured (including the payment of default interest, if any), the Default that resulted solely because of that Initial Default shall also be cured without any further action.

Section 6.05    Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Noteholders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Subject to Section 7.01, in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers hereunder at the request or direction of any of the Holders, unless the Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security and/or indemnity satisfactory to it.

Section 6.06    Limitation on Suits. A Noteholder shall not have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture or the Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or Trustee, or for any remedy thereunder, unless:

(a)    such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(b)    the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall have made a written request and offered indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as trustee; and

(c)    the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days after such notice.

The foregoing limitations shall not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder for the enforcement of payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on such Note on or after the applicable due date specified in such Note. A Noteholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Noteholder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Noteholder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).

Section 6.07    Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of payment of principal of, or interest on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, the amendment, supplement or modification in accordance with the terms of this Indenture of Articles 4 and 5 and Sections 6.01(c), (d), (e) and (i) and the related definitions shall be deemed not to impair the right of any Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of payment of principal of or interest on the Notes held by such Holder.

86

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

Section 6.09    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Noteholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for such compensation as agreed upon in writing by the parties hereto, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under this Indenture, or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder.

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

FIRST: to the Trustee, its agents and counsel for amounts due under this Indenture;

SECOND: to the other agents as may be appointed under this Indenture;

THIRD: to Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal 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; and

FOURTH: to the Issuer.

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

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

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

87

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 2.07, no right or remedy conferred or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders under this Indenture is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and all such rights and remedies are, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or exercise of any other right or remedy.

Section 6.14    Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default 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 6 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 7

TRUSTEE

Section 7.01    Duties of Trustee.

(a)    If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise 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 such Person’s own affairs.

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

(i)    the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied duties, covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee, where duties and obligations shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture; and

(ii)    in the absence of willful misconduct on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein; provided, that the Trustee shall not be responsible for the content of legal opinion letters, whether delivered to it or on its behalf.

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

(i)    this paragraph (c) does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.01;

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

88

(iii)    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 6.05; and

(f)    Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

(g)    The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of a Default or an Event of Default unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee has received written notice thereof (in accordance with the notice provisions of this Indenture) from the Issuer or any Holder and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.

(h)    The Trustee shall not be precluded from entering into transactions with any other party hereto that are separate from those contemplated under this Indenture.

Section 7.02    Rights of Trustee.

(a)    The Trustee may conclusively rely on any document (whether in its original or facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document. The Trustee may, however, in its discretion 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 business hours and upon reasonable notice, the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney at the expense of the Issuer, and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(b)    Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it shall be entitled to receive an Officers’ Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel. 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.

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

89

(f)    The permissive rights of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty unless so specified herein.

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

(h)    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.

(i)    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, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

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

(k)    The Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture.

(l)    Delivery of any reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive or actual notice or knowledge of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee may conclusively rely on an Officers’ Certificate).

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

Section 7.04    Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity, priority or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in any other document other than the certificate of authentication executed by the Trustee.

Section 7.05    Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if a written notice of a Default or Event of Default is received by a Trust Officer, the Trustee shall send to each Noteholder notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after written notice of it is received by a Trust Officer of the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders.

90

Section 7.06     [Reserved].

Section 7.07    Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer and the Guarantors shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such reasonable compensation for its services as agreed upon in writing by the parties hereto. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer and Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuer and Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee and every receiver, attorney, manager, agent or other person appointed by the Trustee hereunder against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage, penalty, action, suit, cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses and taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of any such Person)) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust hereunder and/or the transactions contemplated under this Indenture, and the Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for any action or inaction on the part of any Paying Agent, Registrar, Authentication Agent or any successor trustee. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Guarantors promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Guarantors shall not relieve the Issuer or any of the Guarantors of their respective obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Issuer or any of the Guarantors shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Issuer and the Guarantors shall defend the claim and the Trustee may participate in the defense and have separate counsel, and the Issuer and the Guarantors shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. None of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors shall be required to reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct or negligence. None of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors shall be required to pay for any settlement made by the Trustee without the Issuer’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. All indemnifications and releases from liability granted hereunder to the Trustee shall extend to its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns.

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

The Issuer’s and Guarantors’ payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the discharge of this Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Sections 6.01(g) or 6.01(h) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.

The provisions of this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge or termination, for any reason, of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

Section 7.08    Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer in writing not less than 30 days prior to the effective date of such resignation. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee in writing not less than 30 days prior to the effective date of such removal and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Issuer’s written consent. The Issuer shall remove the Trustee if:

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

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

91

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

(d)    the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

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

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

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, at the reasonable expense of the Issuer, or the Holders of 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed as provided in TIA Section 310(b), any Noteholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Notwithstanding the replacement or resignation of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the Trustee and survive the termination of this Indenture.

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

Section 7.10    Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA § 310(a). The Trustee shall have (or, in the case of a corporation included in a bank holding company system, the related bank holding company shall have) a combined capital and surplus of at least $25.0 million as set forth in its (or its related bank holding company’s) most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b), subject to the penultimate paragraph thereof; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(i) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.

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

92

ARTICLE 8

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01    Discharge of Liability on Notes; Defeasance.

(a)    When (i) all outstanding Notes (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.07) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by them hereunder, or (ii) (A) all outstanding Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise or (2) mature within one year or (3) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for giving the notice of redemption, (B) the Issuer irrevocably deposits with the Trustee cash in U.S. Dollars, Government Obligations or a combination thereof, sufficient, as confirmed, certified or attested by an Independent Financial Advisor, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay at maturity or upon redemption principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all outstanding Notes, including interest thereon to maturity or such redemption date (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.07), (C) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and the granting of Liens in connection therewith) with respect to this Indenture or the Notes issued hereunder has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit, (D) the deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute default under any other material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuer is a party or by which the Issuer is bound, and (E) the Issuer pays or causes to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuer, then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 8.01(c), cease to be of further effect. The Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture on written demand of the Issuer accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the Issuer.

(b)    Subject to Sections 8.01(c) and 8.02, the Issuer at any time may terminate (i) all of their obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors under the Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture, as applicable (“legal defeasance option”) or (ii) the obligations under Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11 and 4.12 and the limitations contained in Section 5.02(d) (“covenant defeasance option”). If the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance option, the Note Guarantees in effect at such time shall be automatically released. If the Issuer exercises its covenant defeasance option, the Note Guarantees (other than the Note Guarantee of the Parent Guarantor) in effect at such time shall be automatically released. The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option.

If the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Issuer exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(d) (only with respect to the covenants of Article 4 identified in the immediately preceding paragraph), 6.01(e), 6.01(f), 6.01(g) (with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), 6.01(h) (with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) or 6.01(i) (other than with respect to the Note Guarantee of the Parent Guarantor) or because of the failure of the Parent Guarantor to comply with the limitations contained in Section 5.02(d).

Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Issuer, accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent specified herein relating to the defeasance contemplated have been complied with, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Issuer terminates.

93

(c)    Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) in this Section 8.01, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 7.07, 7.08, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive until the Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 7.07 and 8.05 shall survive such satisfaction or discharge.

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

(a)    the Issuer irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. Dollars, Government Obligations or a combination thereof, sufficient, as confirmed, certified or attested by an Independent Financial Advisor, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, for the payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to maturity or redemption; provided that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit as of the date of redemption (any such amount, the “Applicable Premium Deficit”) only required to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of redemption. Any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption;

(b)    no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit and after giving effect thereto (other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Debt and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith), and the deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, the Credit Agreement or any other material agreement or material instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound;

(c)    in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (1) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (2) since the Issue Date there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, to the effect, in either case, that, and based thereon the Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the beneficial owners of the Notes shall not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such legal defeasance and shall be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the defeasance had not occurred;

(d)    in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the beneficial owners of the Notes shall not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and shall be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if that covenant defeasance had not occurred;

(e)    the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the legal defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, as contemplated by this Article 8, have been complied with; and

94

(f)    the Issuer delivers irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be (which instructions may be contained in the Officers’ Certificate referred to in clause (e) above).

Simultaneous with a deposit, the Issuer may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Notes at a future date in accordance with Article 3.

Section 8.03    Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust money or Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article 8. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes.

Section 8.04    Repayment to Issuer. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Issuer upon written request any excess money or securities held by them upon satisfaction of the conditions and occurrence of the events set forth in this Article 8.

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

Section 8.05    Indemnity for Government Obligations. The Issuer shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.02 or the principal and interest received on such Government Obligations, other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders.

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

ARTICLE 9

(i)    to provide for the appointment of a successor trustee; provided that the successor trustee is otherwise qualified and eligible to act as such under the terms of this Indenture;

(j)    to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes as permitted by this Indenture, including, without limitation, to facilitate the issuance and administration of Notes; provided, however, that (i) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws and (ii) such amendment does not adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes in any material respect; or

(k)    to conform any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees to the “Description of Notes” contained in the Offering Memorandum, to the extent that such provision in the “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees.

Section 9.02    With Consent of Holders. Except as provided in Section 9.01, the Issuer, the Trustee and (with respect to any amendment or supplement to the Note Guarantees) the Guarantors may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees without notice to any Noteholder but with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes) and any past Default or compliance with any provisions of the Indenture or the Notes may also be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes), except a Default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest and particular covenants and provisions of this Indenture which cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note, as specified in this Section 9.02.    However, without the consent of each Noteholder affected thereby, an amendment, supplement or waiver (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder) may not:

(a)    reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

96

(b)    reduce the stated rate of or extend the stated time for payment of interest on any such Note;

(c)    reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Note;

(d)    make any Note payable in money other than U.S. Dollars;

(i)    at any time after the Issuer is obligated to make a Prepayment Offer with the Excess Proceeds from Asset Sales, change the time at which the Prepayment Offer must be made or at which the Notes must be repurchased pursuant thereto;

(j)    make any change in this Section 9.02; or

(k)    release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

The consent of the Holders is not necessary to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment, supplement or waiver. A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder given in connection with a tender or exchange of such Holder’s Notes shall not be rendered invalid by such tender or exchange. After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, the Issuer is required to deliver to each Holder at the Holder’s address appearing in the Note register a notice briefly describing the amendment. However, the failure to give this notice to Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.

Section 9.03    [Reserved].

Section 9.04    Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. A consent to an amendment, supplement or a waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind 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 or waiver is not made on the Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Noteholder. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective upon the execution of such amendment or waiver by the Trustee.

97

The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Noteholders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described in this Section 9.04 or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Noteholders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date.

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

Section 9.06    Trustee to Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplement authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if such amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment or supplement the Trustee shall receive and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 12.04, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that the execution of such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment or supplement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

ARTICLE 10

GUARANTEES

Section 10.01    The Guarantees. Subject to the provisions of this Article 10, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, the full and punctual payment (whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption, purchase pursuant to an offer to purchase required under Section 4.07 or Section 4.11 or acceleration, or otherwise) of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, and all other amounts payable under, each Note, and the full and punctual payment of all other amounts payable by the Issuer under this Indenture. Upon failure by the Issuer to pay punctually any such amount, each Guarantor shall forthwith on demand pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified in this Indenture.

Section 10.02    Guarantee Unconditional. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

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

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

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

98

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

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

(6)    any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Issuer, the Trustee or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this Section 10.02, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

Section 10.03    Discharge; Reinstatement. Subject to Section 10.10, each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Issuer under this Indenture have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Issuer under this Indenture is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

Section 10.04    Waiver by the Guarantors. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Issuer or any other Person.

Section 10.05    Subrogation and Contribution. Upon making any payment with respect to any obligation of the Issuer under this Article 10, the Guarantor making such payment shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Issuer with respect to such obligation; provided that the Guarantor may not enforce either any right of subrogation, or any right to receive payment in the nature of contribution, or otherwise, from any other Guarantor, with respect to such payment so long as any amount payable by the Issuer hereunder or under the Notes remains unpaid.

Section 10.06    Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Issuer under this Indenture or the Notes is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Indenture are nonetheless payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Trustee or the Holders.

Section 10.07    Limitation on Amount of Guarantee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 10, each Guarantor and, by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent conveyance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the Bankruptcy Law or any comparable provision of state law. To effectuate that intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guarantee are limited to the maximum amount that would not render the Guarantor’s obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the Bankruptcy Law or any comparable provision of state law.

99

Section 10.08    Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. The execution by each Guarantor of this Indenture (or a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit B) evidences the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor, whether or not the person signing as an officer of the Guarantor still holds that office at the time of authentication of any Note. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee after authentication constitutes due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of each Guarantor.

Section 10.09    Benefits Acknowledged. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it shall receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Note Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 10.10    Release of Guarantee. The Note Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor shall terminate, and the Note Guarantee shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, upon:

(1)    a sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of Capital Stock of the Subsidiary Guarantor following which such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Subsidiary Guarantor (other than to the Issuer or a Guarantor) otherwise permitted by this Indenture,

(2)    the release or discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and any other Credit Facility and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee in respect of other capital markets debt securities of the Issuer or any Guarantor, as applicable, that resulted in the creation of such Note Guarantee other than, in each case, a release or discharge through payment thereon,

(3)    the designation in accordance with this Indenture of the Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, or

(4)    defeasance or discharge of the Notes, as provided in Article 8.

The Note Guarantee of the Parent Guarantor shall terminate, and the Note Guarantee shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, upon legal defeasance or discharge of the Notes, as provided in Article 8.

Upon delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the foregoing effect, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of the Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.

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

Any notice or communication sent to a Noteholder shall be sent or delivered to the Noteholder at the Noteholder’s address as it appears on the registration books of the Registrar and shall be sufficiently given if so sent within the time prescribed.

Failure to send or deliver a notice or communication to a Noteholder or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Noteholders. If a notice or communication is sent or delivered in the manner provided in this Section 12.01, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it.

101

The Trustee shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant to this Indenture and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that the Issuer shall provide to the Trustee an incumbency certificate listing Officers with the authority to provide such Instructions and containing specimen signatures of such Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by the Issuer whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Issuer elects to give the Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Issuer understands and agrees that the Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Trustee have been sent by such Officer. The Issuer shall be responsible for ensuring that only Officers listed in the incumbency certificate transmit such Instructions to the Trustee and that the Issuer and all such Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Issuer. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Issuer agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Trustee and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Issuer; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Trustee immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Note, where this Indenture or any Note provides for notice of any event or any other communication (including any notice of redemption or repurchase) to a holder of a Global Note (whether by mail or otherwise), such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depositary (or its designee) pursuant to the standing instructions from the Depositary or its designee, including by electronic mail in accordance with accepted practices at the Depositary.

Section 12.02    Communication by Holders with Other Holders. Holders may communicate pursuant to Trust Indenture Act § 312(b) with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Notes as if this Indenture were subject to such Trust Indenture Act Section 312(b) (except for the provisions of such Section 312(b) pertaining to filings with, and hearings before, the Commission). The Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and anyone else shall be deemed to have the protection of Trust Indenture Act Section 312(c).

Section 12.03    Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent. Upon any request or application by the Issuer to the Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action under this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee:

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

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

102

Section 12.04    Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion. Each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a covenant or condition provided for in this Indenture shall include:

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

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

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

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

In giving such Opinion of Counsel, counsel may rely as to factual matters on an Officers’ Certificate or on certificates of public officials.

Section 12.05    Rules by Trustee, Paying Agents and Registrar. The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or a meeting of Noteholders. The Registrar and the Paying Agents or co-registrar may make reasonable rules for their functions.

Section 12.06    Business Days. If a payment date, a redemption date or a repurchase date is not a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period. If a regular record date is not a Business Day, the record date shall not be affected.

Section 12.07    Governing Law/Waiver of Trial by Jury; Submission to Jurisdiction. THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND EACH HOLDER BY ITS ACCEPTANCE THEREOF IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

The parties hereto irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Indenture. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the parties irrevocably waive and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 12.08    No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner or stockholder of the Issuer or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or any Guarantor (other than the Issuer in respect of the Notes and each Guarantor in respect of its Note Guarantee) under the Notes, the Note Guarantees or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

103

Section 12.09    Successors. All agreements of the Issuer and the Guarantors in this Indenture and the Notes shall bind their respective successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors.

Section 12.10    Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 12.11    Multiple Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. One signed copy is enough to prove this Indenture. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Indenture or any document to be signed in connection with this Indenture shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, and the parties hereto consent to conduct the transactions contemplated hereunder by electronic means.

Section 12.12    Table of Contents; Headings. The table of contents, cross-reference sheet and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not intended to be considered a part hereof and shall not modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.

Section 12.13    Force Majeure. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

Section 12.14    U.S.A. Patriot Act. The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Trustee. The parties to this Indenture agree that they shall provide the Trustee with such information as may be available that the Trustee may request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. Patriot Act.

Section 12.15    FATCA. In order to assist the Trustee with its compliance with Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the rules and regulations thereunder (as in effect from time to time, collectively, the “Applicable Law”), the Issuer agrees (i) to provide to the Trustee reasonably available information regarding the Issuer or the Holders of Notes (solely in their capacity as such) and which is necessary for the Trustee’s determination of whether it has tax related obligations under Applicable Law and (ii) that the Trustee shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from payments under this Indenture to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Law and shall have no liability in connection

104

therewith other than as a result of its negligence or willful misconduct. Nothing in the immediately preceding sentence shall be construed as obligating the Issuer or the Trustee to make any “gross up” payment or similar reimbursement in connection with a payment in respect of which amounts are so withheld or deducted.

Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including the date of original issuance; provided that the first Interest Payment Date shall be [December 15, 2021][                    ].

Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified herein.

The Issuer shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the June 1 or December 1 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date even if Notes are canceled after the Record Date and on or before the Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuer shall pay principal and interest in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company. The Issuer shall make all payments in respect of a Definitive Note (including principal, premium and interest), by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on the Notes may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”) shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice. The Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any of its domestically incorporated Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.

The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of June 21, 2021 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Guarantors party thereto and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Noteholders are referred to the Indenture. This Note is guaranteed, as set forth in the Indenture. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things, make certain Investments and other Restricted Payments, pay dividends and other distributions, incur Debt, enter into consensual restrictions upon the payment of certain dividends and distributions by such Restricted Subsidiaries, issue or sell shares of capital stock of such Restricted Subsidiaries, enter into or permit certain transactions with Affiliates, create or incur Liens and make Asset Sales. The Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the Issuer and the Guarantors to consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or sell, transfer, assign, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Issuer or the Guarantors.

The Notes are subject to optional redemption, and may be the subject of an offer to purchase upon a Change of Control or an Asset Sale, as further described in the Indenture. The Issuer shall not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

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

The registered Holder of this Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Issuer at its written request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Issuer and not to the Trustee for payment.

Subject to certain conditions, the Issuer at any time may terminate some of or all its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the Issuer deposits or cause to be deposited with the Trustee money in U.S. dollars or Government Obligations for the payment of principal of and interest (including premium, if any) on the Notes, in each case to redemption or maturity.

The Indenture, the Note Guarantees and the Notes may be amended and supplemented as provided in the Indenture.

The Events of Default relating to the Notes are defined in Section 6.01 of the Indenture. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the rights and obligations of the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders shall be as set forth in the applicable provisions of the Indenture.

Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuer or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner or stockholder of the Issuer or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or any Guarantor (other than the Issuer in respect of the Notes and each Guarantor in respect of its Note Guarantee) under the Notes, the Note Guarantees or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

This Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an Authentication Agent) signs by manual, facsimile or electronic signature the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Note.

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Noteholder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act).

THIS NOTE AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND EACH HOLDER BY ITS ACCEPTANCE THEREOF IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and have directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Noteholders. To the extent

such numbers have been issued, the Issuer has caused ISIN numbers to be similarly printed on the Notes and has similarly instructed the Trustee. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

The Issuer shall furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge to the Holder a copy of the Indenture which has in it the text of this Note.

All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Note shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

The undersigned represents and warrants to you that:

1.     We are an institutional “accredited investor” (within the meaning of 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,” and we are acquiring the Notes 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 notes 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.

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 six months after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which the Issuer or any affiliate of the Issuer was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only (a) to the Issuer, (b) pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act, (c) in a transaction complying with the requirements of Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”), to a person we reasonably believe is a qualified institutional buyer under Rule 144A (a “QIB”) that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of a QIB and to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (e) to an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor,” or (f) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in each of the foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the disposition of our property or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within our or their control and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. The foregoing restrictions on resale shall not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is proposed to be made pursuant to clause (e) 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 Issuer 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 Issuer and the Trustee reserve the right prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date of the Notes pursuant to clause (d), (e) or (f) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications or other information satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee.
