If the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary has Incurred, redeemed, retired or extinguished any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred under any revolving credit facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and has not been replaced) subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Consolidated Leverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to or substantially concurrently with the event for which the calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio is made, then the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such Incurrence, redemption, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.

For purposes of making the computation referred to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and disposed operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP) that have been made by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries during the Four Quarter Period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Calculation Date shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and disposed operations (and the change in any associated fixed charge obligations and the change in EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the Four Quarter Period. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such period shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, amalgamation, consolidation or disposed operation that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, amalgamation, consolidation or disposed operation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Four Quarter Period.

savings and operating expense reductions resulting from such Investments, acquisition, disposition, merger or consolidation which is being given pro forma effect that have been implemented or for which the steps necessary for implementation have been taken and are reasonably expected to be realized within twelve (12) months after the date of such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger or consolidation) and which are reasonably identifiable and factually supportable or (y) determined in accordance with Regulation S-X. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on Capitalized Lease Obligations shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuer to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period except as set forth in the first paragraph of this definition. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Issuer may designate.

Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder in the manner set forth in Section 13.02.

(f) The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to join in the giving or making of (1) any notice of default under Section 6.01(a), (2) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 6.02, (3) any direction referred to in Section 6.05 or (4) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 6.06(2). If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders on such record date, and only such Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date;provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless made, given or taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes or each affected

-46-

Holder, as applicable, on such record date. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Issuer’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Issuer in writing and to each Holder in the manner set forth in Section 13.02.

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

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

(i) The Issuer may fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons who are beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note held by a Depositary entitled under the procedures of such Depositary, if any, to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders;provided that if such a record date is fixed, only the Holders on such record date or their duly appointed proxy or proxies shall be entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. No such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be effective hereunder unless made, given or taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date.

(j) With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.05, the party hereto that sets such record date may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day;provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 13.02, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.05, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 120th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this clause (j).

The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, rules or

-47-

agreements with national securities exchanges to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Issuer). Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in denominations of US$2,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof.

(b) The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited.

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

The Notes shall be subject to repurchase by the Issuer pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer or Collateral Disposition Offer as provided in Section 4.10 or a Change of Control Offer as provided in Section 4.14. The Notes shall not be redeemable, other than as provided in Article 3.

In addition, the Issuer may issue, from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, Additional Notes (as provided herein) and Exchange Notes. Additional Notes rankingpari passu with the Initial Notes may be created and issued from time to time by the Issuer without notice to or consent of the Holders and shall be consolidated with and form a single class with the Initial Notes and Exchange Notes and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise (other than issue date, issue price and, if applicable, the first Interest Payment Date and the initial interest accrual date) as the Initial Notes and the Exchange Notes;provided that the Issuer’s ability to issue Additional Notes shall be subject to the Issuer’s compliance with Sections 4.09 and 4.12. Any Additional Notes shall be issued with the benefit of an indenture supplemental to this Indenture.

Section 2.02Execution and Authentication.

(a) At least one Officer shall execute the Notes on behalf of the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid.

(b) A Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto by the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture.

(c) On the Issue Date, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer signed by an Officer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate and deliver the Initial Notes. In addition, at any time and from time to time, the Trustee shall upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate and deliver any (i) Additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount specified in such Authentication Order for such Additional Notes issued hereunder and (ii) Exchange Notes for issue only in an exchange offer pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or upon resale under an effective Shelf Registration Statement, and only in exchange for Initial Notes or Additional Notes of an equal principal amount.

(d) The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent.

-48-

An authenticating agent has the same rights as a Paying Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Issuer.

Section 2.03Registrar and Paying Agent.

(a) The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and at least one office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes (“Note Register”) and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar, and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuer fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

The Issuer shall advise the Paying Agent in writing prior to any interest payment date of any Additional Interest payable pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

(b) The Issuer initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes. The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee to act as Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes and to act as a custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

Section 2.04Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

The Issuer shall, no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day prior to each due date for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest) on any of the Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held in trust for the Holders entitled to the same, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest) on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, a Paying Agent (if other than the Issuer or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuer, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.05 Holder Lists.

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee at least two 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 the Holders, and the Issuer shall otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 312(a).

-49-

Section 2.06Transfer and Exchange.

(a) The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer and in compliance with Appendix A.

(b) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 or at the Registrar’s request.

(c) No service charge shall be made to a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange (other than pursuant to Section 2.07), but the Holders shall be required to pay any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.10, 4.14 and 9.05).

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

(e) Neither the Issuer nor the Registrar shall be required (1) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (2) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part or (3) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

(f) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to the record date provisions of the Notes) interest (including Additional Interest) on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(g) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Issuer designated pursuant to Section 4.02, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more replacement Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount.

(h) At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Global Notes or Definitive Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail, the replacement Global Notes and Definitive Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02.

(i) All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by mail or by facsimile or electronic transmission.

Section 2.07Replacement Notes.

If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if a Holder claims that its Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken and the Issuer and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the ownership and loss, destruction or theft of such Note, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are otherwise met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond must be provided by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer may charge the Holder for the expenses of the Issuer and the Trustee in replacing a Note. Every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Issuer and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07, in case any mutilated, destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Notes.

Section 2.08Outstanding Notes.

(a) The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 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.

(b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser, as such term is defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York.

(c) If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue from and after the date of such payment.

(d) If a Paying Agent (other than the Issuer, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on the maturity date, any redemption date or any date of purchase pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, money sufficient to pay Notes payable or to be redeemed or purchased on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.09Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer, any Guarantor or by any Affiliate of the Issuer or any Guarantor, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Trust Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Notes that are to be acquired by the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer pursuant to an exchange offer, tender offer or other agreement shall not be deemed to be owned by such entity until legal title to such Notes passes to such entity.

Section 2.10Temporary Notes.

-51-

Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, 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 and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits accorded to Holders, or beneficial holders, respectively, of Notes under this Indenture.

Section 2.11Cancellation.

The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or Paying Agent, and no one else, shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of cancelled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of the disposition of all cancelled Notes shall, upon the written request of the Issuer, be delivered to the Issuer. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12Defaulted Interest.

(a) If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.12. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date;provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of such special record date. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuer (or, upon the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) shall mail, or cause to be mailed to each Holder a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

(b) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and for greater certainty, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue interest, which were carried by such other Note.

Section 2.13CUSIP and ISIN Numbers.

The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers in notices of redemption or exchange or in Offers to Purchase as a convenience to Holders;provided that 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 or exchange or in Offers to Purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or exchange or Offer to

-52-

Purchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall as promptly as practicable notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers.

ARTICLE 3

In the event of partial redemption or purchase, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the then outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase.

(b) The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in whole increments of US$1,000; no Notes of US$2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not US$2,000 or a multiple of US$1,000 in excess thereof, shall be redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.

Section 3.03Notice of Redemption.

(a) Subject to Section 3.09, the Issuer shall mail, or cause to be mailed (or, in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, by electronic transmission) notices of redemption of Notes at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 12. Except as set forth in Section 3.07(b), notices of redemption may not be conditional.

(b) The notice shall identify the Notes (including CUSIP number) to be redeemed and shall state:

(1) the redemption date;

-53-

(2) the redemption price, including the portion thereof representing any accrued and unpaid interest;provided, that in connection with a redemption under Section 3.07(a), the notice need not set forth the redemption price but only the manner of calculation thereof;

(3) if any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of that Note that is to be redeemed;

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

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

(6) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment or the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on the applicable redemption date;

(7) the paragraph or subparagraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed and, in case of a redemption under Section 3.07(b), any conditions to such redemption; and

(8) 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.

(c) At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at the Issuer’s expense;provided that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 15 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 a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

Section 3.04Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price (except as provided for in Section 3.07(b)). The notice, if mailed in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Subject to Section 3.05, on the applicable redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption.

Section 3.05Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.

(a) No later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day prior to the redemption or purchase date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to the redemption or purchase date. The Paying Agent shall promptly pay to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed or repurchased the applicable redemption or purchase price thereof and accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer any money

-54-

deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

(b) If the Issuer complies with the provisions of Section 3.05(a), on the applicable redemption or purchase date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If any Note called for redemption or purchase shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with Section 3.05(a), interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest accrued to the redemption or purchase date not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01.

Section 3.06Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Issuer shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail to the Holder (or cause to be transferred by book entry) at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered representing the same Indebtedness to the extent not redeemed or purchased;provided that each new Note shall be in a principal amount of US$2,000 or an integral multiple of US$1,000 in excess thereof. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, only an Authentication Order and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officers’ Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Note.

Section 3.07Optional Redemption.

(a) At any time prior to July 15, 2014, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus the Applicable Premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and Additional Interest thereon, if any, 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 relevant Interest Payment Date.

(b) Prior to July 15, 2014, the Issuer may, at its option, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the original principal amount of the Notes with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings at a redemption price equal to 112.500% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and Additional Interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date;provided that (1) at least 65% of the original principal amount of Notes remains outstanding after each such redemption; and (2) such redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of closing of each such Equity Offering.

Section 4.03Reports and Other Information.

(a) Notwithstanding that the Issuer or Holdings may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, Holdings (or, if neither the Issuer nor Holdings are at such time subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Issuer), will furnish to the Holders of the Notes or cause the Trustee to furnish to the Holders of the Notes, without cost to any Holder, from and after the Issue Date, within 15 days of the applicable time periods specified in the relevant forms or, if neither Holdings nor the Issuer is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, then the time periods for filing shall be those applicable to a filer that is not an “accelerated filer” as defined in the SEC’s rules and regulations: (1) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Issuer or Holdings were required to file such Forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual financial statements by the Issuer’s or Holdings’, as the case may be, independent registered public accounting firm; (2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Issuer or Holdings were required to file such reports; and (3) any other information, documents and reports that Holdings or the Issuer would be required to file with the SEC if they were subject to Section 13(d) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, in each case in a manner that complies in all material respects with the requirements specified in such Form;provided however, that to the extent such reports are filed with the SEC and publicly available, such reports shall have been deemed to have been provided to the Holders and no additional copies need to be provided to the Holders, however, copies will still be delivered to the Trustee.

(b) Additionally, the Issuer will cause such documents to be filed with the SEC unless the SEC will not accept such documents, including because the filing with the SEC of the registration statement for the offering of the Exchange Notes pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or Shelf Registration Statement has not yet been made. The requirement for Holdings and the Issuer to provide information may be satisfied by posting such reports, documents and information on the Issuer’s website within the time periods specified by this covenant;provided, however, that the Issuer will (upon request) provide one copy of the exhibits of the foregoing to the Trustee and will (upon request) provide additional copies of such exhibits to any Holder or prospective Holder.

(c) If the Issuer 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 paragraph shall include a summary presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the

-60-

footnotes thereto, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(d) In addition, the Issuer and the Guarantors agree that they will make available to the Holders and to prospective investors, upon the request of such Holders, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act to the extent the Notes constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

(e) The filing requirements set forth above for the applicable period may be satisfied by Holdings prior to the commencement of the offering of the Exchange Notes or the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement by the filing with the SEC of the registration statement for the offering of the Exchange Notes pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement and/or the Shelf Registration Statement, and any amendments thereto, with such financial information that satisfies Regulation S-X of the Securities Act;provided that this paragraph shall not supersede or in any manner suspend or delay the Issuer’s reporting obligations set forth in the first four paragraphs of this Section 4.03.

(f) All financial information provided pursuant to this Section 4.03 will be accompanied by consolidating financial information for Holdings, the Issuer, the Restricted Subsidiaries that are Guarantors and the Subsidiaries of the Issuer that are not Guarantors in the manner prescribed by the SEC to the extent such consolidating financial information would be required pursuant to Regulation S-X (whether or not such financial information is filed with the SEC).

(g) The Issuer shall hold quarterly conference calls for the Holders of the Notes to discuss financial information for the previous quarter. The conference call will be following the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Issuer and not later than ten Business Days from the time that the Issuer distributes the financial information as set forth in Section 4.03(a). No fewer than two days prior to the conference call, the Issuer shall issue a press release announcing the time and date of such conference call and providing instructions for Holders, securities analysts and prospective investors to obtain access to such call. For the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer may satisfy the requirements of this paragraph by holding the conference calls required above within the time period required as part of any earnings calls of Holdings.

(h) If at any time Holdings and the Issuer change their respective fiscal year ends, financial information provided pursuant to this covenant shall be audited within 15 months of the prior audit of financial information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) the initial audit of financial information pursuant to this covenant following the date of this indenture shall be provided no later than the earlier to occur of (x) 90 days after the respective fiscal year ends of Holdings and the Issuer and (y) February 28, 2011, regardless of whether Holdings or the Issuer has changed their respective fiscal year ends and (2) if Holdings or the Issuer has changed their respective fiscal year ends, an additional audit shall be required with respect to financial information of such changed fiscal year end if not previously provided for such changed fiscal year end.

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Holdings or the Issuer, as applicable, qualifies to report under the U.S./Canadian multijurisdictional disclosure system, such annual reports and such information, documents and other reports will be deemed to refer to those reports required of a Canadian company eligible to use Canadian continuous disclosure filings to satisfy its reporting requirements under such system;provided, further, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary permitted by such U.S./Canadian multijurisdictional disclosure system, now or in the future, the reports required of a Canadian company under such system will be deemed to include (1) a reconciliation of such annual reports and such information, documents and other reports to accounting

-61-

principles generally accepted in the United States, (2) a quarterly balance sheet and (3) a quarterly or annual, as the case may be, management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations substantially in the form that would be required by a U.S. Person subject to such Sections 13 or 15(d).

The Issuer shall pay, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate negotiations or proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

Section 4.06Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

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

-69-

being paid on Common Stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock);

(2) make any loans or advances to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the subordination of loans or advances made to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness Incurred by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances); or

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

(xii) encumbrances or restrictions contained in or arising under indentures or other debt instruments or debt arrangements Incurred or Preferred Stock issued by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to clauses (2), (5), (6), (7) and (14) of Section 4.09(b) by Restricted Subsidiaries,provided that such encumbrances and restrictions contained in any agreement or instrument will not materially affect the Issuer’s ability to make anticipated principal or interest payments on the Notes (as determined in Good Faith by the Issuer).

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to and in compliance with this Section 4.09:

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

(3) if obligations in respect of letters of credit are Incurred pursuant to a Debt Facility and are being treated as Incurred pursuant to clause (2) of Section 4.09(b) and the letters of credit relate to other Indebtedness, then such other Indebtedness shall not be included;

-74-

(4) the principal amount of any Disqualified Stock of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, or Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor, will 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;

(5) Indebtedness permitted by this Section 4.09 need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Indebtedness but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 4.09 permitting such Indebtedness; and

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

(d) Accrual of interest, accrual of dividends, the accretion of accreted value or the amortization of debt discount, the payment or accretion of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness, the reclassification of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles and the payment of dividends in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 4.09. The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date shall be (i) the accreted value thereof in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount or the aggregate principal amount outstanding in the case of Indebtedness issued with interest payable-in-kind, (ii) the principal amount or liquidation preference thereof in the case of any other Indebtedness, (iii) in the case of the guarantee by a specified Person of Indebtedness of another Person, the maximum liability to which the specified Person may be subject upon the occurrence of the contingency giving rise to the obligation and (iv) in the case of Indebtedness of others guaranteed solely by means of a Lien on any asset or property of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (and not to their other assets or properties generally), the lesser of (x) the Fair Market Value of such asset or property on the date on which such Indebtedness is Incurred and (y) the amount of the Indebtedness so secured.

In addition, the Issuer shall not permit any of its Unrestricted Subsidiaries to Incur any Indebtedness or issue any shares of Disqualified Stock, other than Non-Recourse Debt. If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date (and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be Incurred as of such date under this Section 4.09, the Issuer shall be in Default of this Section 4.09).

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. or Canadian dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. or Canadian dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, respectively, shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness;provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such Refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. or Canadian 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. or Canadian dollar-denominated restriction, as applicable, shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being Refinanced plus the amount of any reasonable premium (including reasonable tender premiums), defeasance costs and any reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of such new Indebtedness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer may Incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall not be

-75-

deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being Refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such Refinancing.

(a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any Asset Disposition of Collateralunless:

(i) the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at least equal to the Fair Market Value (such Fair Market Value to be determined as of the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Disposition), as determined in Good Faith by the Issuer (including as to the value of all non-cash consideration), of the Collateral subject to such Asset Disposition;

(ii) at least 85% of the consideration from such Asset Disposition received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of (A) cash, (B) Cash Equivalents, (C) Additional Assets of a type which would constitute (x) Term Loan Collateral in the case of an Asset Disposition of Term Loan Collateral and (y) ABL Collateral in the case of an Asset Disposition of ABL Collateral (which are thereupon with their acquisition added to the Collateral securing the Notes) or (D) any combination of the foregoing;

(iii) to the extent that any consideration from such Asset Dispositions received by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, constitutes securities or other assets that are of a type or class that constitute Collateral, such securities or other assets, including the assets of any Person that becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor as a result of such transaction, are concurrently with their acquisition added to the Collateral securing the Notes (as Term Loan Collateral or ABL Collateral, as applicable) in the manner provided for in this Indenture or any of the Collateral Documents; and

(iv) the Net Available Cash from any such Asset Disposition of Collateral is paid directly by the purchaser thereof to the Collateral Agent to be held in trust in a Collateral Account for application in accordance with this covenant.

Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements and the Credit Facilities, any Net Available Cash deposited into the Collateral Account from any Asset Dispositions of Collateral or Recovery Events relating to Collateral (as described below) may be withdrawn by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary to be invested by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary in Additional Assets that would constitute (x) Term Loan Collateral in the case of an Asset Disposition of Term Loan Collateral and (y) ABL Collateral in the case of an Asset Disposition of ABL Collateral, within 365 days of the date of such Asset Disposition or Recovery Event, which Additional Assets are thereupon with their acquisition added to the Collateral securing the Notes.

All of the Net Available Cash received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from any Recovery Event relating to Collateral shall be deposited directly into the Collateral Account and, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements and the Credit Facilities, may be withdrawn by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary to be invested in Collateral (which may include performance of a restoration of the affected Collateral) in accordance with, and of the type described by, the preceding paragraph within 365 days of the date of such Recovery Event.

-76-

Any Net Available Cash from Asset Dispositions of Collateral or Recovery Events that are not applied or invested as provided in this Section 4.10(a) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Collateral Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Collateral Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Issuer will be required to make an offer (“Collateral Disposition Offer”) to all Holders to purchase the maximum principal amount of the Notes (on a pro rata basis) and, if required by the terms of any other Pari Passu Lien Obligations, to the holders of such Pari Passu Lien Obligations (on a pro rata basis), to which the Collateral Disposition Offer applies that may be purchased out of the Excess Collateral Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and such other Pari Passu Lien Obligations, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture in a principal amount of US$2,000 or an integral multiple of US$1,000 in excess thereof with respect to the Notes;provided, however, that to the extent the Excess Collateral Proceeds relate to Asset Dispositions of (x) ABL Collateral, the Issuer may, prior to making a Collateral Disposition Offer, make a prepayment with respect to the maximum principal amount of Indebtedness that is secured by such ABL Collateral on a priority basis relative to the Notes that may be prepaid out of such Excess Collateral Proceeds (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto), at a price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Indebtedness, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of prepayment, or (y) Term Loan Collateral, the Issuer may, prior to making a Collateral Disposition Offer, make a prepayment with respect to the maximum principal amount of Indebtedness that is secured by such Term Loan Collateral on a first-priority basis that may be prepaid out of such Excess Collateral Proceeds (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto), at a price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Indebtedness, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of prepayment, in each case, with any Excess Collateral Proceeds not used to prepay such Indebtedness offered to Holders in accordance with this paragraph. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to a Collateral Disposition Offer is less than the Excess Collateral Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining Excess Collateral Proceeds (“Unutilized Excess Collateral Proceeds”) for general corporate purposes, subject to the other covenants contained in this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders and holders of any Pari Passu Lien Obligations exceeds the amount of Excess Collateral Proceeds, the Notes and Pari Passu Lien Obligations to be purchased shall be selected on a pro rata basis on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of tendered Notes. Upon completion of such Collateral Disposition Offer, the amount of Excess Collateral Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

(b) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any Asset Disposition (other than Asset Dispositions of Collateral, which shall be treated in the manner set forth in Section 4.10(a))unless:

(i) the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration (including by way of relief from, or by way of any other Person assuming sole responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at least equal to the Fair Market Value (such Fair Market Value to be determined as of the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Disposition), as determined in Good Faith by the Issuer (including as to the value of all non-cash consideration), of the shares and assets subject to such Asset Disposition;

(ii) at least 75% of the consideration from such Asset Disposition received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of (A) cash, (B) Cash Equivalents, (C) Additional Assets of a type which would constitute Collateral (which are thereupon with their acquisition added to the Collateral securing the Notes (as Term Loan Collateral or ABL Collateral, as applicable) or (D) or any combination of the foregoing; and

-77-

(iii) an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition is applied by the Issuer (or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) as follows (it being understood that actions under clauses (A), (B), (C) or (D) may occur in any priority during such 365-day period):

(A) to the extent the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary elects (or is required by the terms of such Indebtedness), to prepay, repay or purchase Indebtedness under the Debt Facilities that are secured by Liens that rank in all respects in priority to the Notes within 365 days after the date of the date of such Asset Disposition;

(B) to the extent the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary elects (or is required by the terms of any Indebtedness), to prepay, repay or purchase other Indebtedness (other than Disqualified Stock, Subordinated Obligations and Guarantor Subordinated Obligations) (in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer) within 365 days after the date of such Asset Disposition;provided that the Issuer shall equally and ratably reduce obligations under the Notes as provided under Section 3.07, through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Disposition Offer) to all holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the amount of Notes that would otherwise be prepaid;

(C) to the extent the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary elects, to purchase Additional Assets (including by means of an Investment in Additional Assets by a Restricted Subsidiary with Net Available Cash received by the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary) within 365 days from the date of such Asset Disposition, which Additional Assets are thereupon with their acquisition added to the Collateral (as (x) Term Loan Collateral to the extent such Additional Assets are of the type that would constitute Term Loan Collateral or (y) as ABL Collateral to the extent such Additional Assets are of the type that would constitute ABL Collateral) securing the Notes;

(D) to the extent the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary elects, to make an investment in a capital expenditure used or useful in a Related Business within 365 days after the date of such Asset Disposition,provided that to the extent such investment is of a type which would constitute Collateral, such investment is thereupon added to the Collateral (as (x) Term Loan Collateral to the extent such investments is of the type that would constitute Term Loan Collateral or (y) as ABL Collateral to the extent such investment is of the type that would constitute ABL Collateral) securing the Notes;

(E) to the extent of the balance of such Net Available Cash after application in accordance with clauses (A),(B), (C) and (D), to make an offer to purchase Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness with similar asset sale provisions, pro rata at 100% of the tendered principal amount thereof (or 100% of the accreted value of such other Pari Passu Indebtedness so tendered, if such Pari Passu Indebtedness was offered at a discount) plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the purchase date; and

(F) to the extent of the balance of such Net Available Cash after application in accordance with clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) above, to fund (to the extent consistent with any other applicable provision of this Indenture) any corporate purpose;

-78-

provided ,however, that in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (E) above, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary will retire such Indebtedness and will cause the related loan commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or purchased;provided further that pending the final application of any such Net Available Cash in accordance with this clause (iii), the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Indebtedness or otherwise invest such Net Available Cash in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

In the case of the second paragraph of Section 4.10(a) or Section 4.10(b)(iii)(C), if, during the 365-day period following the date of the Asset Disposition, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary (x) enters into a written agreement committing it to apply such Net Available Cash in accordance with the requirements of the second paragraph of Section 4.10(a) or Section 4.10(b)(iii)(C) after such 365-day period or (y) has begun construction of such Additional Assets using such Net Available Cash and delivers an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee certifying that such Net Available Cash has been budgeted toward such construction, then such 365-day period will be extended with respect to the amount of Net Available Cash so committed or so budgeted for a period, in each case not to exceed 180 days, until such Net Available Cash is required to be applied in accordance with such agreement (or, if earlier, until termination of such agreement) or has been applied toward such construction, as the case may be.

In the event of an Asset Disposition that requires the purchase of Notes pursuant to Section 4.10(b)(iii)(E), the Issuer will be required to apply such Excess Proceeds (as defined below) to the repayment of the Notes and any other Pari Passu Indebtedness outstanding with similar provisions requiring the Issuer to make an offer to purchase such Indebtedness with the proceeds from any Asset Disposition as follows: (A) the Issuer will make an offer to purchase (an “Asset Disposition Offer”) within ten Business Days of such time from all Holders in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09 in the maximum principal amount (expressed as a multiple of US$1,000) of Notes that may be purchased out of an amount (the “Note Amount”) equal to the product of such Excess Proceeds multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness and (B) to the extent required by such Pari Passu Indebtedness to permanently reduce the principal amount of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, the Issuer will make an offer to purchase or otherwise repurchase or redeem such Pari Passu Indebtedness (a “Pari Passu Offer”) in an amount equal to the excess of the Excess Proceeds over the Note Amount at a purchase price of 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest (or 100% of the accreted value of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, if such Pari Passu Indebtedness was offered at a discount) to the purchase date in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth in Section 3.09 with respect to the Asset Deposition Offer and in the documentation governing such Pari Passu Indebtedness with respect to the Pari Passu Offer. If the aggregate purchase price of the Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer and Pari Passu Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the remaining Excess Proceeds (“Unutilized Excess Proceeds”) will be available to the Issuer for use in accordance with Section 4.10(b)(iii)(F). The Issuer shall only be required to make an Asset Disposition Offer for Notes pursuant to this Section 4.10 if the Net Available Cash available therefor (after application of the proceeds as provided in Section 4.10(b)(iii)(A), (b)(iii)(B), (b)(iii)(C) and (b)(iii)(D)) (“Excess Proceeds”) exceeds $25.0 million (any lesser amounts shall be carried forward for purposes of determining whether an Asset Disposition Offer is required with respect to the Net Available Cash from any subsequent Asset Disposition). Upon completion of any such Asset Disposition Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

(B) such Guarantee constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary, except insofar as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers) and except insofar as enforcement thereof is subject to general principles of equity.

(c) Each Restricted Subsidiary that becomes a Guarantor on or after the Issue Date shall also become a party to the applicable Collateral Documents, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreements and, to the extent required by this Indenture, shall as promptly as practicable execute and deliver such security instruments, financing statements, Mortgages, deeds of trust (in substantially the same form as those executed and delivered with respect to the Term Loan Collateral and the ABL Collateral) and certificates and opinions of counsel (to the extent, and substantially in the form, delivered on the Issue Date (but no greater scope)) as may be necessary to vest in the Collateral Agent a perfected second- or third-priority security interest, as the case may be (subject to Permitted Liens), in properties and assets that constitute Collateral as security for the Notes or the Guarantees and as may be necessary to have such property or asset added to the applicable Collateral as required under the Collateral Documents and this Indenture, and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such properties and assets to the same extent and with the same force and effect.

(d) Each Guarantee shall be released in accordance with Section 11.06.

Section 4.16Limitation on Lines of Business.

The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any business other than a Related Business.

Section 4.17Limitation on Activities of Holdings.

Holdings shall not conduct, transfer or otherwise engage in any business or operations other than (i) its direct or indirect ownership of all of the Capital Stock in, and its management of, the Issuer, (ii) action required by law to maintain its existence, (iii) performance of its obligations under the Credit Facilities, this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements and other agreements contemplated thereby, (iv) any public offering of its Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock), (v) activities incidental to its maintenance and continuance and to any of the foregoing activities and (vi) other activities to the extent permitted by, and in compliance with, the Credit Facilities.

Section 4.18Effectiveness of Covenants.

Following the first day on which (1) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from both of the Ratings Agencies, and (2) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the Suspended Covenants.

Additionally, upon the commencement of a Suspension Period, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero. If at any time the Notes’ credit rating is downgraded from an Investment Grade Rating by any Rating Agency or a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Suspended Covenants will thereafter be reinstated as if such covenants had never been suspended (the “Reinstatement Date”) and be applicable pursuant to the terms of this Indenture (including in connection with performing any calculation or assessment to determine compliance with the terms of this Indenture), unless and until the Notes subsequently attain an Investment Grade Rating and no Default or Event of

-86-

Default is in existence (in which event the Suspended Covenants shall no longer be in effect for such time that the Notes maintain an Investment Grade Rating);provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist or have occurred under this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period, or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior to the Reinstatement Date, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period.

On each Reinstatement Date, all Indebtedness Incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified as having been Incurred or issued pursuant to Section 4.09(a) or one of the clauses set forth in Section 4.09(b) (to the extent such Indebtedness would be permitted to be Incurred thereunder as of the Reinstatement Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness Incurred prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reinstatement Date). To the extent such Indebtedness would not be so permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Sections 4.09(a) or 4.09(b), such Indebtedness will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under clause (5) of Section 4.09(b). Calculations made after the Reinstatement Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07 will be made as though the covenant described under Section 4.07 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a) to the extent such Restricted Payments were not otherwise permitted to be made pursuant to clauses (1) through (20) of Section 4.07(b);provided that the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments on the Reinstatement Date pursuant to Section 4.07(a) shall not be reduced below zero solely as a result of such Restricted Payments under Section 4.07.

During the Suspension Period, the Board of Directors of the Issuer may not designate any of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this Indenture.

Section 4.19Withholding Taxes and Other Taxes.

(a) The Issuer shall make all its payments under or with respect to the Notes free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost, assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other liabilities related thereto) (hereinafter “Taxes”) imposed or levied by or on behalf of the government of Canada or any political subdivision or any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax, or any other jurisdiction in which the Issuer or any Guarantor is resident for tax purposes, or any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made on behalf of the Issuer (each a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the Issuer is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof.

(b) If the Issuer is required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of Taxes imposed by a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction from any payment made under or with respect to the Notes, the Issuer shall pay as additional interest such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by a Holder (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction shall not be less than the amount such Holder would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted;provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts does not apply to (1) any Taxes that would not have been so imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between the relevant Holder or beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, partner, member or shareholder of, or possessor of power over the relevant Holder or beneficial owner, if the relevant Holder or beneficial owner is an estate, nominee, trust, partnership or corporation) and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (other than the mere receipt of such payment or the ownership or holding outside of Canada of such Note); (2) any estate, inheritance, gift,

-87-

sales, excise, transfer, value added, personal property tax or similar tax, assessment or governmental charge; (3) any Taxes payable otherwise than by deduction or withholding from payments on the Notes; or (4) any Taxes imposed because the relevant Holder or beneficial owner of the Note fails to complete, execute and deliver to the Issuer any form or document to the extent applicable to such Holder or beneficial owner that may be required by law or by reason of administration of such law by a governmental authority of the appropriate Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction and which is reasonably requested in writing to be delivered to the Issuer in order to enable the Issuer to make payments on the Notes without deduction or withholding for Taxes, or with deduction or withholding of a lesser amount, which form or document shall be delivered within 60 days of a written request therefor by the Issuer; nor shall the Issuer pay Additional Amounts (a) if the payment could have been made without such deduction or withholding if the Note had been presented for payment within 30 days after the date on which such payment or such Note became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later (except to the extent that the Holder or beneficial owner would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Note been presented on the last day of such 30-day period); (b) to any Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes with which the Issuer does not deal at arm’s length (within the meaning of theIncome Tax Act (Canada)) at the time of making such payments; or (c) with respect to any payment of principal of, or premium, if any, on or interest on such Note to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or any person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment, to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such a partnership or the beneficial owner of such payment would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the actual Holder of such Note.

(c) The Issuer shall pay the amount withheld or deducted to the relevant governmental authority on a timely basis in accordance with applicable law. As soon as practicable, the Issuer shall provide the Trustee with official receipts or other documentation satisfactory to the Trustee evidencing the payment of the Taxes with respect to which Additional Amounts are paid.

(d) Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context:

(i) the payment of principal;

(ii) purchase prices in connection with a purchase of Notes;

(iii) interest or Additional Interest; or

(iv) any other amount payable on or with respect to any of the Notes,

such reference shall be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts as described in this Section 4.19 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

The Issuer shall indemnify a Holder, within 10 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes paid by such Holder to a governmental authority of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Issuer to withhold or deduct an amount on account of Taxes for which the Issuer would have been obliged to pay an Additional Amount hereunder and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Issuer by a Holder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

-88-

(e) The Issuer shall pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise in any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of the Notes, this Indenture or any other document or instrument in relation thereof, or the receipt of any payments with respect to the Notes (other than Taxes that are excluded from the Additional Amounts as provided in this Section 4.19), and the Issuer shall indemnify the Holders for any such taxes paid by such Holders.

(f) The obligations described in this Section 4.19 shall survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture and will applymutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Issuer is a resident or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein.

-92-

(a) is caused by a failure to pay principal on such Indebtedness at its final stated maturity after giving effect to any grace period provided in the agreements or instruments governing such Indebtedness (“payment default”); or

(b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its stated final, maturity (the “cross-acceleration provision”);

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a payment default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $25.0 million or more;

(6) failure by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary to pay final and non-appealable judgments aggregating in excess of $25.0 million (net of any amounts that are covered by insurance issued by a reputable and creditworthy insurance company (as determined in the Good Faith by the Issuer) that has not contested coverage), which judgments remain unsatisfied or undischarged for any period of 60 consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement of such judgments shall not be in effect (the “judgment default provision”);

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

(A) is for relief against Holdings, the Issuer, any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the date of the most recent audited consolidated financial statements of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, in a proceeding in which Holdings, the Issuer, any such Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the date of the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, is to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent;

(B) appoints a receiver, interim receiver, receiver and manager, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of Holdings, the Issuer, any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the date of the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, or for all or substantially all of the property of Holdings, the Issuer, any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the date of the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; or

(C) orders the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Holdings, the Issuer, or any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the date of the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary;

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days;

(10) with respect to any Collateral having a fair market value in excess of $10.0 million, individually or in the aggregate, (A) the failure of the security interest with respect to such Collateral under the Collateral Documents, at any time, to be in full force and effect for any reason other than in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and the terms of this Indenture or the Intercreditor Agreements, as applicable, and other than the satisfaction in full of all obligations under this Indenture and discharge of this Indenture if such failure continues for 60 days or (B) the assertion by the Issuer or any Guarantor, in any pleading in any court of competent jurisdiction, that any such security interest is invalid or unenforceable, except in each case for the failure or loss of perfection resulting from the failure of the Collateral Agent to make filings, renewals and continuations (or other equivalent filings) which are required to be made or the failure of the Collateral Agent to maintain possession of certificates actually delivered to it representing securities pledged under the Collateral Documents if such assertion is not rescinded within 30 days.

However, a default under clause (4) of this Section 6.01(a) will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Issuer of the Default and the Issuer does not cure such Default within the time specified in clause (4) of this Section 6.01(a) after receipt of such notice.

-94-

Section 6.02Acceleration.

(a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clause (8) or (9) of Section 6.01(a) with respect to the Issuer or Holdings) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice in writing specifying the Event of Default and that it is a “notice” to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest), if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal, premium and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest) will be due and payable immediately.

(b) In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default described in clause (5) of Section 6.01(a) 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 such clause (5) of Section 6.01(a) shall be remedied or cured by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 30 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if (1) the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal, premium or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived.

(c) If an Event of Default described in clause (8) or (9) of Section 6.01(a) occurs and is continuing with respect to the Issuer or Holdings, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest) on all the Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders.

(d) 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 or interest) and rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences if (1) 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 of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived.

Section 6.03Other Remedies.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional 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 6.04Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all Holders waive any existing Default and its consequences hereunder, except:

-95-

(1) a continuing Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest) on any Note held by a non-consenting Holder (including in connection with a Collateral Disposition Offer, an Asset Disposition Offer or a Change of Control Offer); and

(2) a Default with respect to a provision that under Article 9 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected,

provided, that subject to Section 6.02, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default, that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05Control by Majority.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee or the Collateral Agent. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements or that the Trustee or the Collateral Agent determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee or the Collateral Agent in personal liability or expense for which each of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, has not received indemnification or security reasonably satisfactory to it.

Section 6.06Limitation on Suits.

Subject to Section 6.07, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

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

(2) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

Failing payment by the Issuer when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture, or pursuant to Section 11.06.

(c) Each Guarantor also agrees, jointly and severally, to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee, or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 11.01.

Section 11.02Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 11, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, preference or transaction at undervalue under applicable law.

(d) The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

(e) If required by Section 4.15, the Issuer shall cause any newly created or acquired Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.15 and this Article 11, to the extent applicable.

-125-

payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Issuer under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full.

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

(b) All notices and communications (other than those sent to Holders) shall be deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; on the first date of which publication is made, if by publication; five calendar days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed by first-class mail; the next Business Day after timely delivery to the courier, if mailed by overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery; when receipt acknowledged, if sent by facsimile or electronic transmission;provided that any notice or communication delivered to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall be deemed effective upon actual receipt thereof.

(c) Any notice or communication to a Holder shall be mailed by first-class mail or by overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery to its address shown on the Note Register or by such other delivery system as the Trustee agrees to accept. Any notice or communication shall also be so mailed to any Person described in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c), to the extent required by the Trust Indenture Act. Failure to mail a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it shall not affect its sufficiency with respect to other Holders.

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

-129-

(e) Where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to a Holder of a Global Note, such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depositary for such Note (or its designee), pursuant to the applicable procedures of such Depositary, if any, prescribed for the giving of such notice.

The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reasonable reliance upon and compliance with such notice, instructions or directions notwithstanding such notice, instructions or directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent notice, instructions or directions.

(g) If a notice or communication is sent in the manner provided above within the time prescribed, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it.

(h) If the Issuer mails a notice or communication to Holders, it shall mail a copy to the Trustee and each Agent at the same time.

Section 13.03Communication by Holders with Other Holders.

Holders may communicate pursuant to Trust Indenture Act Section 312(b) with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Notes. The Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Registrar and anyone else shall have the protection of Trust Indenture Act Section 312(c).

Section 13.04Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent.

Upon any request or application by the Issuer or any Guarantor to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to take any action under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or any of the Collateral Documents, the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, shall furnish to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent:

(1) an Officers’ Certificate in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be (which shall include the statements set forth in Section 13.05), stating that, in the opinion of the signer(s), all conditions precedent and covenants, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with; and

(2) an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be (which shall include the statements set forth in Section 13.05), stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent and covenants have been complied with;provided that (A) subject to Section 5.01(c), no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the addition of a Guarantor under this Indenture upon execution and delivery by such Guarantor and the Trustee of a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit C and no Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the supplemental indenture to this Indenture to be entered into by National Post following consummation of the Acquisition on the Issue Date, the form of which is attached as Exhibit D hereto and (B) no Opinion of Counsel pursuant to this section shall be required in connection with the issuance of Notes on the Issue Date.

Section 13.05Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion.

-130-

Each certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture (other than a certificate provided pursuant to Section 4.04) shall include:

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

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

(3) a statement that, in the opinion of such Person, he or she has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him or her to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with (and, in the case of an Opinion of Counsel, may be limited to reliance on an Officers’ Certificate as to matters of fact); and

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

Section 13.06Rules by Trustee and Agents.

The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of Holders. The Registrar or Paying Agent may make reasonable rules and set reasonable requirements for its functions.

Section 13.07No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders.

No director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or interest holder (other than in its capacity as a Guarantor) of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors or any of their parent companies, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or such Guarantor under the Notes, this Indenture, the Guarantees, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the securities laws of the United States or Canada, and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

Section 13.08Currency Indemnity and Calculation of US dollar denominated restrictions.

The US dollar is the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable by the Issuer and the Guarantors under or in connection with the Notes and the Guarantees, including damages. Any amount received or recovered in a currency other than US dollars, whether as a result of, or the enforcement of, a judgment or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the winding-up or dissolution of the Issuer, any Guarantor or otherwise, by any Holder or by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it from the Issuer or a Guarantor will only constitute a discharge to the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, to the extent of the US dollar amount which the recipient is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in that other currency on the date of that receipt or recovery (or, if it is not practicable to make that purchase on that date, on the first date on which it is practicable to do so).

-131-

If that US dollar amount so purchased is less than the US dollar amount expressed to be due to the recipient under any Note or any Guarantee or to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, the Issuer and the Guarantors will indemnify the recipient under a Note or Guarantee or the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, on a joint and several basis against any loss sustained by such recipient or the Trustee or the Collateral Agent as a result. In any event, the Issuer and the Guarantors will indemnify the recipient or the Trustee or the Collateral Agent on a joint and several basis against the cost of making any such purchase. For the purposes of this currency indemnity provision, it will be sufficient for the Holder of a Note or the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to certify in a satisfactory manner (indicating the sources of information used) that it would have suffered a loss had an actual purchase of US dollars been made with the amount so received in that other currency on the date of receipt or recovery (or, if a purchase of US dollars on such date had not been practicable, on the first date on which it would have been practicable, it being required that the need for a change of date be certified in the manner mentioned above). These indemnities constitute a separate and independent obligation from the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ other obligations, will give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, will apply irrespective of any waiver granted by any Holder of a Note or the Trustee or the Collateral Agent (other than a waiver of the indemnities set out herein) and will continue in full force and effect despite any other judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due under any Note, any Guarantee or to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent.

Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, for purposes of determining compliance with any US dollar-denominated restriction herein, the US dollar-equivalent amount for purposes hereof that is denominated in a non-US dollar currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such non-US dollar amount is incurred or committed, as the case may be.

Section 13.09Governing Law.

THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES AND ANY GUARANTEE WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 13.10Waiver of Jury Trial.

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

-132-

“agent” shall be deemed to include a “mandatary”, (h) “joint and several” shall be deemed to include solidary, (i) “beneficial ownership” and similar expressions shall be deemed to include “ownership on behalf of another as mandatary”, (j) “priority” shall be deemed to include “prior claim” and (k) “survey” shall be deemed to include “certificate of location and plan”.

Section 13.12Force Majeure.

In no event shall the Trustee or the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its reasonable 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 or hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee and the Collateral Agent 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 13.13No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements.

This Indenture may not be used to interpret any other indenture, loan or debt agreement of the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries or of any other Person. Any such indenture, loan or debt agreement may not be used to interpret this Indenture.

Section 13.14Successors.

All agreements of the Issuer in this Indenture and the Notes shall bind its successors. All agreements of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent in this Indenture shall bind its successors. All agreements of each Guarantor in this Indenture shall bind its successors.

Section 13.15Severability.

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

Section 13.16Counterpart 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.

Section 13.17Qualification of Indenture.

The Issuer has agreed to qualify this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement and to pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses for the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders) incurred in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, costs and expenses of qualification of this Indenture and the Notes and printing this Indenture and the Notes. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive from the Issuer any such Officers’ Certificates, Opinions of Counsel or other documentation as it may reasonably request in connection with any such qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

-133-

The Table of Contents, Cross-Reference Table and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part of this Indenture and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.

Section 13.19U.S.A. PATRIOT Act.

The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. PATRIOT Act, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent are 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 or the Collateral Agent. The parties to this Indenture agree that they will provide the Trustee and the Collateral Agent with such information as they may request in order for them to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A. PATRIOT Act.

Section 13.20Payments Due on Non-Business Days.

If any Interest Payment Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, then the interest payment will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day. If the maturity date of the Notes is a day that is not a Business Day, all payments to be made on such day will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on the maturity date. In either of such cases, no additional interest will be payable as a result of such delay in payment. For purposes of theInterest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid in respect of any Note or under this Indenture is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day or 365-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or 365, as applicable. The rates of interest under this Indenture are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under any Note or under this Indenture.

Section 13.21Consent to Jurisdiction and Service.

The Issuer and the Guarantors not organized in the United States will appoint CT Corporation System, as its agent for service of process in any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Indenture or the Notes or the Guarantees and for actions brought under the U.S. federal or state securities laws brought in any U.S. federal or state court located in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York and will submit to such jurisdiction.

In relation to any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees, the Issuer and each Guarantor irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, County and State of New York, United States of America and the Issuer and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court and irrevocably waives any objection it may now or hereafter have as to the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court or that such court is an inconvenient forum.

Section 13.22Collateral Agent Privileges, Powers and Immunities.

In the performance of its obligations, powers and rights hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to the privileges, powers, protections and immunities afforded to it as Collateral Agent under the Collateral Documents.

The Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section 2.1(c) and Section 2.2 and pursuant to an order of the Issuer signed by one Officer of the Issuer, authenticate and deliver initially one or more Global Notes that (i) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Note or Global Notes or the nominee of such Depositary and (ii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary’s instructions or held by the Trustee as Custodian.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of such Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

(2) in the case of Transfer Restricted Notes, are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable:

Transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note or the IAI Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through the Regulation S Global Note, whether before or after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, shall be made only upon receipt by the Trustee of a certification in the form provided on the reverse side of the Initial Note from the transferor to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Regulation S, Rule 144 (if available) under the Securities Act, or another applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act and that, if such transfer is being made prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, the interest transferred shall be held immediately thereafter through Euroclear or Clearstream. In the case of a transfer of a beneficial interest in either the Regulation S Global Note (to the extent provided in Section 2.3(d)) or the Rule 144A Global Note for an interest in the IAI Global Note, the transferee must furnish a signed letter substantially in the form ofExhibit B to the Trustee.

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

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

(iv) In the event that a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes pursuant to Section 2.4 prior to the consummation of an exchange offer or the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to such Notes, such Notes may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 (including the certification requirements set forth on the reverse of the Initial Notes intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A, Regulation S or such other applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Issuer.

(v) Neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall have any responsibilities with respect to the transfer of beneficial interests within one Global Note.

Prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through the Rule 144A Global Note or the IAI Global Note shall be made only in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certification from the transferor of the beneficial interest in the form provided on the reverse side of the Initial Note to the effect that such transfer is being made to (1) a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A or (2) an IAI purchasing for its own account, or for the account of such an IAI, in a minimum principal amount of the Notes of US$250,000. Such written certification shall no longer be required after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period. In the case of a transfer of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note for an interest in the IAI Global Note, the transferee must furnish a signed letter substantially in the form ofExhibit B to the Trustee.

(ii) Upon the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Note shall be transferable in accordance with applicable law and the other terms of this Indenture.

(iii) Upon the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note may be exchanged for beneficial interests in a permanent Regulation S Global Note that is an Unrestricted Global Note upon certification in the form provided on the reverse side of the Initial Note to the effect that such beneficial interests are owned either by non-U.S. persons or by U.S. persons who purchased those interests pursuant to an exemption from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. If no such Regulation S Global Note that is an Unrestricted Global Note is then outstanding, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officers’ Certificate, a new Global Note in the appropriate principal amount.
