(b) if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary has repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged any Indebtedness since the beginning of such period or if any Indebtedness is to be repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged (in each case other than Indebtedness Incurred under any revolving credit facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and has not been replaced) on the date of the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate

the Consolidated Coverage Ratio, EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated on a pro forma basis as if such discharge had occurred on the first day of such period and as if the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary had not earned the interest income actually earned during such period in respect of cash or Cash Equivalents used to repay, repurchase, defease or otherwise discharge such Indebtedness;

(c) if since the beginning of such period the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have made any Asset Disposition, EBITDA for such period shall be reduced by an amount equal to EBITDA (if positive) directly attributable to the assets which are the subject of such Asset Disposition for such period, or increased by an amount equal to EBITDA (if negative), directly attributable thereto for such period and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated Interest Expense directly attributable to any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged with respect to the Company and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such Asset Disposition for such period (or, if the Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary is sold, the Consolidated Interest Expense for such period directly attributable to the Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary to the extent the Company and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer liable for such Indebtedness after such sale);

(d) if since the beginning of such period the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (by merger or otherwise) shall have made an Investment in any Restricted Subsidiary (or any Person which becomes a Restricted Subsidiary) or an acquisition of assets, including any acquisition of assets occurring in connection with a transaction requiring a calculation to be made hereunder, which constitutes all or substantially all of an operating unit of a business, EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto (including the Incurrence of any Indebtedness) as if such Investment or acquisition had occurred on the first day of such period; and

(e) if since the beginning of such period any Person (that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period) shall have made any Asset Disposition, any Investment or acquisition of assets that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (c) or (d) above if made by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary during such period, EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Asset Disposition, Investment or acquisition had occurred on the first day of such period.

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to an acquisition, disposition of assets or Investment, the amount of income or earnings relating thereto and the amount of Consolidated Interest Expense associated with such transactions or any Indebtedness Incurred in connection therewith, the pro forma calculations shall be determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting Officer of the Company (including any determinations made in respect of Pro Forma Adjustments). 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 date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness if such Interest Rate Agreement has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). If any Indebtedness is incurred under a revolving credit facility and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated based on the average daily balance of such Indebtedness for the four fiscal quarters subject to the pro forma calculation to the extent that such Indebtedness was incurred solely for working capital purposes.

(b) amortization of debt discount (including the amortization of original issue discount resulting from the issuance of Indebtedness at less than par) and debt issuance cost; provided, however, that any amortization of bond premium shall be credited to reduce Consolidated Interest Expense unless, pursuant to GAAP, such amortization of bond premium has otherwise reduced Consolidated Interest Expense;

(d) non-cash interest expense; provided, however, that any non-cash interest expense or income attributable to the movement in the mark-to-market valuation of Hedging Obligations or other derivative instruments pursuant to GAAP shall be excluded from the calculation of Consolidated Interest Expense;

(e) commissions, discounts and other fees and charges owed with respect to letters of credit and bankers’ acceptance financing Incurred as Credit Facility Indebtedness;

(f) net payments pursuant to Hedging Obligations;

(g) the product of (i) all dividends accrued in respect of all Disqualified Stock of the Company and all Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary, in each case, held by Persons other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than dividends payable solely in Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company), times (ii) a fraction of the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is one minus the effective combined tax rate of the issuer of such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (expressed as a decimal) for such period (as estimated by the chief financial officer of the Company in good faith); and

(a) if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Leverage Ratio is an Incurrence of Indebtedness, the amount of such Indebtedness shall be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such Indebtedness;

(b) if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary has repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged any Indebtedness that was outstanding as of the end of such fiscal quarter or if any Indebtedness is to be repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged on the date of the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (other than, in each case, Indebtedness Incurred under any revolving credit agreement), the aggregate amount of Indebtedness shall be calculated on a pro forma basis and EBITDA shall be calculated as if the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary had not earned the interest income, if any, actually earned during the Reference Period in respect of cash or Cash Equivalents used to repay, repurchase, defease or otherwise discharge such Indebtedness;

(c) if since the beginning of the Reference Period the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have made any Asset Disposition, the EBITDA for the Reference Period shall be reduced by an amount equal to the EBITDA (if positive) directly attributable to the assets which are the subject of such Asset Disposition for the Reference Period or increased by an amount equal to the EBITDA (if negative) directly attributable thereto for the Reference Period;

(d) if since the beginning of the Reference Period the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (by merger or otherwise) shall have made an Investment in any Restricted Subsidiary (or any Person which becomes a Restricted Subsidiary) or an acquisition of assets which constitutes all or substantially all of an operating unit of a business, EBITDA for the Reference Period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto (including the Incurrence of any Indebtedness) as if such Investment or acquisition had occurred on the first day of the Reference Period; and

(e) if since the beginning of the Reference Period any Person (that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such Reference Period) shall have made any Asset Disposition, any Investment or acquisition of assets that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (c) or (d) above if made by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary during the Reference Period, EBITDA for the Reference Period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Asset Disposition, Investment or acquisition had occurred on the first day of the Reference Period.

The Securities

SECTION 2.01. Form and Dating. Provisions relating to the Securities are set forth in Appendix A hereto (the “Appendix”), which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The (a) Original Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication and (b) any Additional Securities (if issued as Transfer Restricted Securities) and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company). Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form without interest coupons and only in denominations of $2,000 and whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The terms of the Securities set forth in the Appendix and Exhibits hereto are part of the terms of this Indenture. However, to the extent any provision of any Security conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

SECTION 2.02. Execution and Authentication. One Officer of the Issuer shall sign the Securities for the Issuer by manual or facsimile signature.

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

A Security shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Security. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.

On the Issue Date, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver $1,350,000,000 of 9.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 and, at any time and from time to time thereafter, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Additional Securities in an aggregate principal amount specified in a Company Order. Such Company Order shall specify the amount of the Additional Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the issue of Additional Securities is to be authenticated and shall certify that such issuance is in compliance with Section 4.03 and Section 4.13. The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Issuer to authenticate the Securities. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by a Responsible Officer, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Issuer. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.

SECTION 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent. (a) The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent, and the term “Registrar” includes any co-registrars. The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office as (i) Registrar and Paying Agent in connection with the Securities and (ii) the Securities Custodian with respect to the Global Securities. In acting hereunder in connection with the Securities, the Securities Custodian, the Registrar and the Paying Agent shall act solely as an agent of the Issuer, and will not thereby assume any fiduciary duty or other obligations towards or relationship of agency or trust for or with any of the owners or Holders.

(b) The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Paying Agent or co-registrar not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.06. The Company or any of its domestically organized Wholly Owned Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.

(c) The Issuer may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) acceptance of an appointment by a successor as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Issuer and such successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above. The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee.

SECTION 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. Prior to each due date of the principal of and interest on any Security, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or if the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is acting as Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto) a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming due. The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.04, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.

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 Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to furnish, to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders.

SECTION 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. The Securities shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Security for registration of transfer and in compliance with the Appendix. When a Security is presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of this Indenture and Section 8-401(1) of the Uniform Commercial Code are met. When Securities are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s or co-registrar’s request. The Issuer or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section 2.06 (other than any such transfer taxes, assessments or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.07, 3.06, 4.06, 4.08 and 9.04). The Issuer shall not be required to make and the Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of Securities to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or any Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be redeemed or 15 days before an interest payment date.

Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Security, the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and (subject to Section 2 of the Securities) interest, if any, on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and none of the Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Any Holder of a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such Global Security, agree that transfers of beneficial interest in such Global Security may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the Holder of such Global Security (or its agent) or (b) any Holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Security, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Security shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.

All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

SECTION 2.07. Replacement Securities. If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met, such that the Holder (a) satisfies the Issuer or the Trustee within a reasonable time after such Holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Registrar does not register a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to the Issuer or the Trustee prior to the Security being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code (a “protected purchaser”) and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity, security and/or indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Issuer and the Trustee to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-registrar from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the Holder a sum sufficient for their expenses in replacing a Security. In the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may pay such Security instead of issuing a new Security in replacement thereof.

Every replacement Security is an additional Obligation of the Issuer.

The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Securities.

SECTION 2.08. Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Subject to Section 11.05, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Security.

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

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

SECTION 2.09. Temporary Securities. In the event that Definitive Securities are to be issued under the terms of this Indenture, until such Definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and execute a Company Order, upon receipt of which, the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Securities but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and execute a Company Order, upon receipt of which, the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Securities and deliver them in exchange for temporary Securities upon surrender of such temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Issuer, without charge to the Holder.

SECTION 2.10. Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and destroy (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Issuer unless the Issuer directs the Trustee to deliver canceled Securities to the Issuer pursuant to written direction by an Officer. The Issuer may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall not authenticate Securities in place of cancelled Securities other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 2.11. Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, the Issuer shall pay the defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Issuer may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to each Holder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid. The Trustee will have no duty or responsibility to determine whether any defaulted interest is payable or the amount thereof.

SECTION 2.12. CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, etc. The Issuer in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (in each case if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall promptly advise the Trustee in writing of any change in any “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs or “Common Code” numbers applicable to the Securities.

SECTION 2.13. Issuance of Additional Securities. After the Issue Date, the Issuer shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Section 4.03 and Section 4.13, to issue Additional Securities under this Indenture, which Securities shall have identical terms as the Securities issued on the Issue Date, other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price, original interest accrual date and original interest payment date. All the Securities issued under this Indenture shall be treated as a single class for all purposes of this Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that any Additional Securities are not fungible with the Securities for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, such nonfungible Additional Securities shall be issued with a separate CUSIP or ISIN number so that they are distinguishable from the Securities.

With respect to any Additional Securities, the Issuer shall set forth in a resolution of the Board of Directors and an Officer’s Certificate, a copy of each which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:

(a) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Securities to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture and the provision of Section 4.03 and Section 4.13 that the Issuer is relying on to issue such Additional Securities; and

(b) the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP number of such Additional Securities.

In authenticating and delivering Additional Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and shall be fully protected in relying upon, the Opinion of Counsel and Officer’s Certificate required by Section 11.02.

SECTION 2.14. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Issuer will maintain, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee) where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange. If the Definitive Securities are issued and outstanding, such office must be in the contiguous United States. The Issuer initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee for such purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations and surrenders may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee; provided that, no office of the Trustee shall be an office or agency of the Issuer for the purposes of service of legal process on the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor.

The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission will in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the contiguous United States for such purposes if required. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

With respect to any Global Securities, the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee shall be the office or agency where such Global Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment or for registration of transfer or exchange, or where successor Securities may be delivered in exchange therefor; provided, however, that any such presentation, surrender or delivery effected pursuant to the applicable procedures of the applicable depositary shall be deemed to have been effected at such office or agency in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

ARTICLE 3

Redemption

SECTION 3.01. Notices to Trustee. If the Company elects to redeem Securities pursuant to Section 5 of the Securities, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date and the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed.

The Company shall give each notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section 3.01 at least 60 days before the redemption date unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel from the Company to the effect that such redemption shall comply with the conditions herein. Any such notice may be canceled by written notice of the Company to the Trustee at any time prior to notice of such redemption being delivered to any Holder pursuant to Section 3.03 and shall thereby be void and of no effect.

SECTION 3.02. Selection of Securities to Be Redeemed. If fewer than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem to be fair and appropriate, subject to the applicable procedures of DTC, unless another method is required by law or applicable exchange or depositary requirements. The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Securities that have denominations larger than $2,000. Securities and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in principal amounts of $2,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, to the extent practicable. The Company shall redeem Securities in principal amounts of $2,000 or less in whole and not in part, to the extent practicable. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption.

SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption. (a) At least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a date for redemption of Securities, the Company shall cause notices of redemption to be delivered electronically, in accordance with DTC procedures in the case of Global Securities, or be mailed by first-class mail (or otherwise delivered through the depositary’s requirement if the Securities are held through a depositary) to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address, except that redemption notices may be delivered electronically, in accordance with DTC procedures in the case of Global Securities, or be mailed more than 60 days prior to the redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Securities or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. Any inadvertent defect in the notice of redemption, including an inadvertent failure to give notice, to any Holder selected for redemption shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Security redeemed in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

The notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state:

(i) the redemption date;

(ii) the redemption price and the amount of accrued interest to the redemption date;

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

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

(v) if fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed (and if other than on a pro rata basis), the identification numbers and principal amounts (which amounts may be stated as a ratio of the amount to be redeemed per $1,000 principal amount outstanding) of the particular Securities to be redeemed;

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

(vii) the “CUSIP” number, ISIN or “Common Code” number, if any, printed on the Securities being redeemed; and

(viii) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the “CUSIP” number, ISIN or “Common Code” number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Securities.

(b) At the Company’s request, upon written notice provided to the Trustee at least 45 days prior to the redemption date, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense. In such event, the Company shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section 3.03 and a copy of the proposed notice of redemption to be delivered or mailed, as applicable, to the Holders at least two Business Days prior to the date that such notice is to be delivered to Holders (or such shorter period as the Trustee may agree to).

(c) Any redemption or notice of redemption may, at the Company’s option and discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including the consummation of an incurrence or issuance of debt or equity or a Change of Control or other corporate transaction. In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice of redemption shall describe each such condition and, if applicable, shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion) or that such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion) by the redemption date as stated in such notice, or by the redemption date as so delayed. The Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person. The Company shall provide at least two Business Days’ prior written notice to the Trustee prior to the redemption date (or such lesser period as the Trustee may agree to) if any such redemption is being rescinded or delayed, and upon receipt, the Trustee shall promptly provide such notice to each Holder.

(d) The Company may redeem the Securities pursuant to one or more of the relevant redemption provisions set forth in Section 5 of the Securities, and a single notice of redemption may be delivered with respect to redemptions made pursuant to different provisions. Any such notice may provide that redemptions made pursuant to different provisions set forth in Section 5 of the Securities will have different redemption dates and, with respect to the redemptions that occur on the same date, may specify the order in which such redemptions are deemed to occur.

SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is delivered or mailed, as applicable, pursuant to Section 3.03, subject to Section 3.03(c), Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest and Applicable Premium, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date; provided, however, that if the redemption date is after a regular record date and on or prior to the interest payment date, the accrued interest and Applicable Premium, if any, shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed Securities registered on the relevant record date. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder.

SECTION 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. No later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest and Applicable Premium, if any, on all Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on that date other than Securities or portions of Securities called for

redemption that have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation. On and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on Securities or portions thereof called for redemption so long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the principal of, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Applicable Premium, if any, on, the Securities to be redeemed, unless the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall be responsible for calculating the Applicable Premium and the Treasury Rate. The Trustee shall have no duty to calculate the Applicable Premium and the Treasury Rate nor shall it have any duty to review or verify the Company’s calculations of the Applicable Premium and the Treasury Rate. All such calculations made by the Company will be made in good faith and, absent manifest error, will be final and binding on the Trustee. The Company will provide a schedule of such calculations to the Trustee, and the Trustee will be entitled to conclusively rely on the accuracy of such calculations without independent verification.

SECTION 3.06. Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Company’s expense) a new Security equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

SECTION 3.07. Special Mandatory Redemption. (a) In the event that (i) the Escrow Agent and the Trustee shall not have received the Officer’s Certificate from the Escrow Issuer or the Company (as successor to the Escrow Issuer) described in Section 2(a) of the Escrow Agreement on or prior to the Outside Date or (ii) the Escrow Issuer shall notify the Escrow Agent in writing that the Company has determined that the Spin-Off will not be consummated on or prior to the Outside Date or otherwise announces that the Spin-Off has been or will be abandoned (each such event being a “Special Mandatory Redemption Event”), the Escrow Issuer will redeem all of the Securities (the “Special Mandatory Redemption”) at a price equal to 100% of the initial issue price of the Securities to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest from the Issue Date, or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid, to, but not including the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”). Notice of the occurrence of a Special Mandatory Redemption Event will be given by the Company (a “Special Redemption Notice”) within three Business Days following the occurrence of a Special Mandatory Redemption Event, to the Trustee, the Escrow Agent and the Holders through DTC. Within five Business Days after the Special Mandatory Redemption Event or as otherwise required by DTC’s procedures, the Escrow Issuer will redeem the Securities at the Special Mandatory Redemption Price pursuant to the procedures described in the following paragraph (the date of such redemption, the “Special Mandatory Redemption Date”). In no event shall the Special Mandatory Redemption Date fall less than two Business Days after the date of the Special Redemption Notice.

(b) If the Escrow Agent receives a Special Redemption Notice, the Escrow Agent will liquidate all Escrowed Funds (including investment earnings thereon and proceeds thereof) then held by it not later than the last Business Day prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date. On the Business Day prior to the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, the Escrow Agent shall pay to the Trustee for payment to each Holder the Special Mandatory Redemption Price for such Holder’s Securities and, concurrently with the payment to such Holders, deliver the excess Escrowed Funds (if any), after payment of any fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) of the Escrow Agent and Trustee, to the Company.

(c) No provisions of the Escrow Agreement (including those relating to the Escrow Release) may be waived or modified in any manner materially adverse to the Holders without the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities outstanding; provided that no such amendment, waiver or modification shall reduce the Special Mandatory Redemption Price without the written consent of each affected Holder.

Incurred on the Escrow Release Date under Section 4.03(b)(i); provided further that subject to the preceding proviso, at any time the Company could be deemed to have Incurred any Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.03(a), all Indebtedness shall be automatically reclassified into Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to Section 4.03(a) to the extent of availability;

(ii) the Company shall be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in this Section 4.03 and, in that connection, the Company shall be entitled to treat a portion of such Indebtedness as Coverage Indebtedness and the balance of such Indebtedness as an item or items of Permitted Indebtedness;

(iii) any Permitted Indebtedness originally classified as Incurred pursuant to one of the clauses in Section 4.03(b) (other than pursuant to Sections 4.03(b)(i) or 4.03(b)(ii)) may later be reclassified by the Company such that it shall be deemed as having been Incurred as Coverage Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or as Permitted Indebtedness pursuant to another clause in Section 4.03(b), as applicable, to the extent that such reclassified Indebtedness could be Incurred pursuant thereto at the time of such reclassification;

(iv) in connection with the Company’s or a Restricted Subsidiary’s entry into an instrument containing a binding commitment in respect of any revolving Indebtedness, the Company may elect, pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, to treat all or any portion of such commitment (any such amount elected until revoked as described below, an “Elected Amount”) under any Indebtedness which is to be Incurred (or any commitment in respect thereof) or secured by a Lien, as the case may be, as being Incurred as of such election date, and (i) any subsequent Incurrence of Indebtedness under such commitment (so long as the total amount under such Indebtedness does not exceed the Elected Amount) shall not be deemed, for purposes of any calculation under this Indenture, to be an Incurrence of additional Indebtedness or an additional Lien at such subsequent time, (ii) the Company may revoke an election of an Elected Amount at any time pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee and (iii) for purposes of all subsequent calculations of the Consolidated Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, the Elected Amount (if any) shall be deemed to be outstanding, whether or not such amount is actually outstanding, so long as the applicable commitment remains outstanding;

(vi) the accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest on Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness or payment of dividends on Capital Stock in the form of additional shares of Capital Stock with the same terms will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness or issuance of Capital Stock for purposes of this Section 4.03.

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness where the Indebtedness Incurred is denominated in a different currency, the amount of such Indebtedness shall be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent determined on the date of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness; provided, however, that if any such Indebtedness denominated in a different currency is subject to a Currency Agreement with respect to U.S. dollars covering all principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on such Indebtedness, the amount of such Indebtedness expressed in U.S. dollars shall be as provided in such Currency Agreement. The principal amount of any Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred in the same currency as the Indebtedness being Refinanced shall be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent, as appropriate, of the Indebtedness Refinanced, except to the extent that (i) such U.S. Dollar Equivalent was determined based on a Currency Agreement, in which case the Refinancing Indebtedness shall be determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, and (ii) the principal amount of the Refinancing Indebtedness exceeds the principal amount of the Indebtedness being Refinanced, in which case the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such excess, as appropriate, shall be determined on the date such Refinancing Indebtedness is Incurred.

(e) For all purposes under this Indenture, no Indebtedness will be deemed to be subordinated in right of payment or junior to any other Indebtedness solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a junior priority basis or because it is guaranteed by other obligors (or as a result of the control of remedies).

SECTION 4.04. Limitation on Restricted Payments. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to make a Restricted Payment if at the time the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary makes such Restricted Payment:

(i) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would result therefrom);

(ii) the Company is not entitled to Incur an additional $1.00 of Coverage Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.03(a); or

(B) 100% of the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds or Fair Market Value of any asset (other than cash) received by the Company either (x) from the issuance or sale of its Qualified Capital Stock subsequent to the Escrow Release Date or (y) as a contribution in respect of its Qualified Capital Stock from its shareholders subsequent to the Escrow Release Date, but excluding in each case any Net Cash Proceeds that are used to redeem Securities in accordance with the third paragraph under Section 5 of the Securities; plus

(iii) the payment of any dividend, distribution or redemption of any Capital Stock or Subordinated Obligation within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof or call for redemption if, at such date of declaration or call for redemption, such payment or redemption was permitted by Section 4.04(a) (the declaration of such payment shall be deemed a Restricted Payment under Section 4.04(a) as of the date of declaration and the payment itself shall be deemed to have been paid on such date of declaration and shall not also be deemed a Restricted Payment under Section 4.04(a)) provided, however, that any Restricted Payment made in reliance on this Section 4.04(b)(iii) shall reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments pursuant to Section 4.04(a)(iii) only once;

(M) restrictions and conditions imposed by transactional agreements and documents (including organizational documents of Receivables Subsidiaries) governing Permitted Receivables Facilities and related Indebtedness; provided that any such restrictions and conditions (i) are customary and usual for such Permitted Receivables Facilities, as determined in good faith by the Company or such Subsidiary, and (ii) in the case of any restrictions or conditions upon the ability of the Company or any Subsidiary to create, incur or permit to exist any Lien upon any of its assets, such restrictions and conditions apply only to assets of and interests in the related Receivables Subsidiary;

(D) any encumbrance or restriction contained in any agreement relating to Purchase Money Indebtedness permitted by Section 4.03 if such restrictions or conditions apply only to the assets securing such Indebtedness; and

(E) any encumbrance or restriction consisting of customary non-assignment provisions in a lease, license or other contract, in each case entered into in the ordinary course of business or consistent with past practice.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.05, (i) the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on common stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock and (ii) the subordination of loans or advances made to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances.

SECTION 4.06. Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Disposition unless:

(i) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Disposition (or conclusion of any payment schedule with respect to such Asset Disposition) at least equal to the Fair Market Value (including as to the value of all non-cash consideration) of the shares and assets subject to such Asset Disposition; and

(ii) at least 75% of the consideration thereof, together with all other Asset Dispositions since the Escrow Release Date (on a cumulative basis), received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.

Within 450 days after the receipt of any Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition (or, in the case of a Designated Foreign Asset Disposition, within the time period specified in the definition thereof), the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall apply the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition:

(A) to the extent the assets or property disposed of in the Asset Disposition constituted Collateral, to repay (i) Secured Notes Obligations, (ii) Senior Secured Credit Facilities Obligations or (iii) any Additional Equal Priority Obligations, and in each case, in the case of revolving

obligations, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; provided that all reductions of Secured Notes Obligations shall be made pursuant to Section 5 of the Securities, 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 in Section 4.06(b)) to all Holders to purchase their Securities at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on such Securities;

(B) to the extent the assets or property disposed of in the Asset Disposition did not constitute Collateral:

(i) to repay (x) Secured Notes Obligations, (y) Senior Secured Credit Facilities Obligations or (z) any Additional Equal Priority Obligations, and in each case, in the case of revolving obligations, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; provided that if the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary shall repay any Obligations pursuant to clause (z) above, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary will either (I) reduce the aggregate principal amount of Secured Notes Obligations on a ratable basis with any such Obligations under the Additional Equal Priority Obligations repaid pursuant to this clause (B)(i) by, at its option, (x) redeeming Securities pursuant to Section 5 of the Securities or (y) purchasing Securities through open-market purchases or (II) make an offer (in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 4.06(b)) to all Holders to purchase their Securities on a ratable basis with any Obligations under the Additional Equal Priority Obligations repaid pursuant to this clause (B)(i) for no less than 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon (which offer shall be deemed to be an Asset Disposition Offer for purposes hereof); or

(ii) to repay Obligations under any Senior Indebtedness (other than any Senior Indebtedness referred to in clause (B)(i) above), and in the case of revolving obligations, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; provided that the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary will either (I) reduce the aggregate principal amount of Secured Notes Obligations on an equal or ratable basis with any such Senior Indebtedness repaid pursuant to this clause (B)(ii) by, at its option, (x) redeeming Securities pursuant to Section 5 of the Securities or (y) purchasing Securities through open-market purchases or (II) make an offer (in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 4.06(b) and for no less than 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, thereon) to all Holders to purchase their Securities on an equal or ratable basis with any Senior Indebtedness repaid pursuant to this clause (B)(ii) (which offer shall be deemed to be an Asset Disposition Offer for purposes hereof);

(C) to reduce the outstanding principal amount of Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor;

(D) to acquire Additional Assets or other assets that replace the assets subject to such Asset Disposition;

(E) to make investments and capital expenditures that are used or useful in a Related Business; or

(F) for the avoidance of doubt, any combination of the foregoing,

in the case of clauses (A), (B) and (C) other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company; provided that entering into and not abandoning or rejecting a binding commitment to acquire assets or property or make investments or capital expenditures to satisfy clause (D) or (E) shall be treated as a permitted application of Net Available Cash from the date of such commitment; provided further that (x) such acquisition or capital expenditure is consummated within 545 days after the later of the receipt of such Net Available Cash or the date of such Asset Disposition and (y) if such acquisition or capital expenditure is not consummated within the period set forth in subclause (x), the Net Available Cash not so applied will be deemed to constitute Excess Proceeds under Section 4.06(b). Pending the final application of any such Net Available Cash, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility, if any, or otherwise invest such Net Available Cash in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.06, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be required to apply any Net Available Cash in accordance with this Section 4.06 except to the extent that the aggregate Net Available Cash from all Asset Dispositions which is not applied in accordance with this Section 4.06 exceeds $100,000,000.

(b) Any Net Available Cash that is not applied or invested as provided in Section 4.06(a) shall constitute “Excess Proceeds”. When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $100,000,000, the Company shall make an offer (an “Asset Disposition Offer”) to all Holders and, if the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor elects, to holders of such Equal Priority Obligations to purchase or redeem the maximum principal amount of the Securities and such Equal Priority Obligations, as applicable, that may be purchased out of the amount of such Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Disposition Offer shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities or any such Equal Priority Obligations plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, and shall be payable in cash in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth in this Indenture or the agreements governing the applicable Equal Priority Obligations. If the aggregate purchase price of

Indebtedness tendered exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis but in round denominations, which, in the case of the Securities, shall be denominations of $2,000 principal amount or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Upon completion of each Asset Disposition Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero and, so long as all such Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to such offer are purchased by the Company in compliance with this Section 4.06, any excess of the offer amount over the amount applied to purchase such Securities (and such other Equal Priority Obligations) pursuant to such offer may be applied by the Company for any purpose not prohibited by this Indenture. The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Securities pursuant to this Section 4.06. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.06, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.06 by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations. Nothing in this Indenture shall prevent the Company from making an Asset Disposition Offer earlier than required.

(c) (i) Promptly, and in any event within 10 days after the Company becomes obligated to make an Asset Disposition Offer, the Company shall be obligated to deliver to the Trustee and deliver electronically, in accordance with DTC procedures in the case of Global Securities, or send by first-class mail, to each Holder, a written notice stating that the Holder may elect to have their Securities purchased by the Company either in whole or in part (subject to prorating as described in 4.06(b) in the event the Asset Disposition Offer is oversubscribed) in integral multiples of $2,000 of principal amount or any whole integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, at the applicable purchase price. The notice shall specify a purchase date not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice (the “Purchase Date”) and shall contain such information concerning the business of the Company which the Company in good faith believes shall enable such Holders to make an informed decision (which at a minimum shall include (A) the most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K (including audited consolidated financial statements) of the Company, the most recent subsequently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and any Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company filed subsequent to such Quarterly Report, other than Current Reports describing Asset Dispositions otherwise described in the offering materials (or corresponding successor reports), (B) a description of material developments in the Company’s business subsequent to the date of the latest of such reports, and (C) if material, appropriate pro forma financial information) and all instructions and materials necessary to tender Securities pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer, together with the address referred to in clause (iii) below.

(ii) Not later than the date upon which written notice of an Asset Disposition Offer is delivered to the Trustee as provided above, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate as to (A) the amount of the Asset Disposition Offer (the “Offer Amount”), including information as to any other Equal Priority Obligations included in the Asset Disposition Offer, (B) the allocation of the Net

Available Cash from the Asset Dispositions pursuant to which such Asset Disposition Offer is being made and (C) the compliance of such allocation with the provisions of Section 4.06(a). On such date, the Company shall also irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with a paying agent (or, if the Company or Wholly Owned Subsidiary thereof is acting as its own paying agent, segregate and hold in trust) an amount equal to the Offer Amount to be invested in Cash Equivalents and to be held for payment in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.06(c)(ii). If the Asset Disposition Offer includes other Equal Priority Obligations, the deposit described in the preceding sentence may be made with any other paying agent pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee. Upon the expiration of the period for which the Asset Disposition Offer remains open (the “Offer Period”), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation the Securities or portions thereof that have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the Company. The Trustee (or the Paying Agent, if not the Trustee) shall, on the Purchase Date, deliver or mail, as appropriate, payment (or cause the delivery of payment) to each tendering Holder in the amount of the purchase price, from the amount deposited with it by the Company. In the event that the Offer Amount delivered by the Company to the Trustee (together with any investment earnings received from the investment thereof in Cash Equivalents) is greater than the purchase price of the Securities tendered, the Trustee shall deliver the excess amount to the Company immediately after the expiration of the Offer Period for application in accordance with this Section 4.06.

(iii) Holders electing to have a Security purchased shall be required to surrender the Security, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the Purchase Date. Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Company receives not later than one Business Day prior to the Purchase Date, a telex, a written notice setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Security which was delivered by the Holder for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Security purchased. If at the expiration of the Offer Period the aggregate principal amount of Securities included in the Asset Disposition Offer surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Company shall select the Securities to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Securities in denominations of $2,000, or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased). Holders whose Securities are purchased only in part shall be issued new Securities equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered; provided that each such new Security shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Any Security not so accepted shall be promptly delivered or mailed, as appropriate, by the Company to the holder thereof.

(iv) At the time the Company delivers Securities to the Trustee which are to be accepted for purchase, the Company shall also deliver an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Securities are to be accepted by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.06(c)(iv). A Security shall be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the Trustee, directly or through an agent, delivers or mails, as appropriate, payment therefor to the surrendering Holder.

(d) The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Securities pursuant to this Section 4.06. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.06, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.06 by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations.

(e) For the purposes of this Section 4.06, the following are deemed to be cash or Cash Equivalents:

(i) the assumption or discharge of Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Obligations in respect of Disqualified Stock of the Company or Preferred Stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor) and the release of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from all liability on such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Disposition;

(ii) any liabilities, as shown on the Company’s most recent consolidated balance sheet, of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and Subordinated Obligations) that are assumed or discharged by the transferee of shares of Capital Stock, property or other assets in the Asset Disposition, pursuant to a customary agreement that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from any and all liability therefor;

(iii) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within 180 days after the date of the applicable Asset Disposition, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion; and

(iv) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Disposition having an aggregate Fair Market Value that, when taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (iv) that is at that time outstanding, does not exceed the greater of (x) $100,000,000 and (y) 2.0% of Total Assets (determined as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available) at the time of the receipt of such Designated Noncash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value).

SECTION 4.07. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property, employee compensation arrangements or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $25,000,000 unless:

(i) the terms of the Affiliate Transaction are no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that could be obtained at the time of the Affiliate Transaction in arm’s-length dealings with a Person who is not an Affiliate; and

(ii) if such Affiliate Transaction involves an amount in excess of $35,000,000, the terms of the Affiliate Transaction are set forth in writing and a majority of the directors of the Company disinterested with respect to such Affiliate Transaction have determined in good faith that the criteria set forth in Section 4.07(a)(i) are satisfied and have approved the relevant Affiliate Transaction as evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors.

(b) The provisions of Section 4.07(a) shall not prohibit:

(i) any transaction between or among the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any transaction between or among the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to a Permitted Receivables Facility;

(ii) any Permitted Investment or any Restricted Payment permitted to be made pursuant to Section 4.04;

(iii) any issuance of securities, or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, employment arrangements, stock options and stock ownership plans entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(iv) payroll, travel, loans or advances to directors and employees in the ordinary course of business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, and on customary terms;

(v) any employment, consulting, service or termination agreement, or reasonable and customary indemnification agreement, entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business (and payments made pursuant thereto), and the payment of reasonable fees and expenses, and the provision of customary indemnities, to directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in their capacities as such;

(vi) any transaction with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) which would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an equity interest in or otherwise controls such Person;

(vii) any transaction with a joint venture partner in the ordinary course of business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture; provided that, in the reasonable, good faith determination of the Company, such transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could have reasonably been obtained at the time of such transaction in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person;

(viii) the issuance or sale of any Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company;

(ix) transactions with customers, clients, vendors, suppliers or other purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business (including pursuant to joint venture agreements);

(x) (i) any agreement or arrangement in effect as of the Issue Date (or transactions pursuant thereto), (ii) any other agreements or arrangements (or transactions pursuant thereto) as in effect on the Escrow Release Date (including the Spin-Off Documents) or pursuant to or in connection with the Spin-Off Documents (including the Transactions) or (iii) any amendment, modification or supplement to the agreements referenced in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 4.07(b)(x) or any replacement thereof, so long as the terms of such agreement or arrangement, as so amended, modified, supplemented or replaced are not materially more disadvantageous to the Holders when taken as a whole when compared to the applicable agreements or arrangements as in effect on the Issue Date or as generally described in the Offering Memorandum, as applicable, as determined in good faith by the Company;

(xi) any transaction on arm’s-length terms with any non-Affiliate that becomes an Affiliate as a result of such transactions;

(xii) any transaction in which the Company delivers to the Trustee a written opinion from the Company to the effect that such transaction is fair, from a financial standpoint, to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(xiii) any transactions undertaken in connection with the Transactions;

(xiv) transactions between the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and any Person, a director of which is also a director of the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company; provided, however, that such director abstains from voting as a director of the Company or such direct or indirect parent, as the case may be, on any matter involving such other Person;

(xv) pledges of Capital Stock of Unrestricted Subsidiaries;

(xvi) the formation and maintenance of any consolidated group or subgroup for tax, accounting or cash pooling or management purposes in the ordinary course of business;

(xvii) transactions undertaken in good faith for the purpose of improving the consolidated tax efficiency of the Company and its Subsidiaries and not for the purpose of circumventing any covenant set forth in this Indenture; and

(xviii) intellectual property and software licenses in the ordinary course of business.

SECTION 4.08. Change of Control. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control after the Escrow Release Date, the Company will be required to offer to repurchase each Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of purchase plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in accordance with the terms contemplated by Section 4.08(b).

(b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control (unless the Company has previously or concurrently delivered electronically, in accordance with DTC procedures in the case of Global Securities, or mailed a redemption notice with respect to all outstanding Securities as described under Section 7 of the Securities), the Company shall deliver electronically, in accordance with DTC procedures in the case of Global Securities, or mail a notice by first-class mail to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee (the “Change of Control Offer”) stating:

(i) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to purchase such Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date);

(ii) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control;

(iii) the purchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered); and

(iv) the instructions, as determined by the Company, consistent with this Section 4.08, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Securities purchased.

(c) Holders electing to have a Security purchased shall be required to surrender the Security, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Company

receives not later than one Business Day prior to the purchase date a telex, a written notice setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Security which was delivered for purchase by the Holder and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Security purchased. Holders whose Securities are purchased only in part shall be issued new Securities equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered.

(d) On the purchase date, all Securities purchased by the Company under this Section 4.08 shall be delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Holders entitled thereto.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.08, the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

(f) A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.

(g) At the time the Company delivers Securities to the Trustee which are to be accepted for purchase, the Company shall also deliver an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Securities are to be accepted by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.08. A Security shall be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the Trustee, directly or through an agent, mails or delivers payment therefor to the surrendering Holder.

(h) Prior to any Change of Control Offer, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent contained herein to the right of the Company to make such offer have been complied with.

(i) The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Securities pursuant to this Section 4.08. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.08, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.08 by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations.

SECTION 4.09. Compliance Certificate. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company (which fiscal year ends December 31), an Officer’s Certificate stating that in the course of the performance by the signers of their duties as Officers of the Company they would normally have knowledge of any Default and whether or not the signers know of any Default that occurred during such period. If they do, the certificate shall describe the Default and its status.

SECTION 4.10. Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture.

SECTION 4.11. Future Subsidiary Guarantors. (a) Upon the consummation of the Assumption, the Company shall (i) promptly notify the Trustee in writing identifying and confirming the Assumption Date, and upon receipt of such written notice, the Trustee shall hereby be authorized and directed to execute and deliver each Guarantee Supplemental Indenture, and (ii) cause each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, as of the Assumption Date, to execute and deliver to the Trustee (x) a Guarantee Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which such Subsidiary Guarantor shall Guarantee payment of the Securities on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in this Indenture and (y) the Security Agreement and the other applicable Security Documents; provided that no Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the execution of the Guarantee Supplemental Indenture to be entered into by such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the Assumption. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.11 shall not prohibit, restrict or limit the Company’s ability to consummate the Escrow Merger, the Spin-Off or any related Transactions.

(b) Following the consummation of the Assumption, the Company shall not cause or permit (a) any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than a Foreign Subsidiary or a Receivables Subsidiary), directly or indirectly, to Guarantee any Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, (b) any Foreign Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to Guarantee any Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or (c) any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than a Foreign Subsidiary or a Receivables Subsidiary) to Incur Credit Facility Indebtedness unless such Restricted Subsidiary is a Subsidiary Guarantor or within 15 Business Days of Incurring or Guaranteeing such Indebtedness (i) executes and delivers to the Trustee a Guarantee Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary shall Guarantee payment of the Securities on the same terms and conditions as those set forth in this Indenture and applicable to the other Subsidiary Guarantors and joinders to the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement, any Acceptable Junior Intercreditor Agreement and applicable Security Documents or new intercreditor agreements and Security Documents, together with any filings and agreements, to the extent required, and (ii) delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (which may contain customary exceptions) that such Guarantee Supplemental Indenture complies with the requirements of this Section 4.11 and constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.11(b) shall not be applicable (i) prior to the Escrow Release or (ii) in the event that the Guarantee of the Company’s Obligations under the Securities or this Indenture by such Subsidiary would not be permitted under applicable law.

SECTION 4.12. Limitation on Transfer of Intellectual Property. (a) No Subsidiary Guarantor that is a direct or indirect Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company may (directly or indirectly, in one or a series of transactions), by virtue of an Investment, disposition or any similar transaction, become a non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary if such Subsidiary Guarantor is the legal owner or exclusive licensee of any Material Intellectual Property and (b) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor may (directly or indirectly, in one or a series of transactions) sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of any Material Intellectual Property to any Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Foreign Subsidiary, except, in each case, to the extent that such sale, transfer, lease or other disposition constitutes a Permitted IP Transfer.

SECTION 4.13. Limitation on Liens. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Lien (the “Initial Lien”) of any nature whatsoever on any of its properties (including Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, securing any Indebtedness, unless:

(i) in the case of Initial Liens on any Collateral, (A) such Initial Lien expressly has Junior Lien Priority on the Collateral relative to the Securities and the Subsidiary Guarantees or (B) such Initial Lien is a Permitted Lien; and

(ii) in the case of any Initial Lien on any asset or property that is not Collateral, (A) the Securities (or the related Subsidiary Guarantee in the case of Liens on assets or property of a Subsidiary Guarantor) are equally and ratably secured with (or, at the Issuer’s option or if such Initial Lien secures Subordinated Indebtedness, on a senior basis to) the Indebtedness secured by such Initial Lien until such time as such Indebtedness is no longer secured by such Initial Lien or (B) such Initial Lien is a Permitted Lien.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall create or permit to exist any Lien securing Indebtedness for borrowed money over any Material Real Estate Asset.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of determining whether any Initial Lien is a Permitted Lien following any Termination Date, any Incurrence of Indebtedness shall be tested as though Section 4.03 was in effect at such time.

(d) Any such Lien thereby created in favor of the Securities or any Subsidiary Guarantee pursuant to clause (a)(ii) of this Section 4.13 shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon (a) the release and discharge of each Initial Lien to which it relates, (b) in the case of such Lien in favor of any such Subsidiary Guarantee, upon the termination and discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantee in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or (c) any sale, exchange or transfer to any Person not an Affiliate of the Company of the property or assets secured by such Initial Lien.

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

SECTION 4.14. Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale/Leaseback Transaction with respect to any property unless:

(a) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to (i) Incur Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale/Leaseback Transaction pursuant to Section 4.03 (following any Termination Date, such determination shall be made as if such covenant was in effect at such time) and (ii) create a Lien on such property securing such Attributable Debt without equally and ratably securing the Securities pursuant to Section 4.13;

(b) the net proceeds received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such Sale/Leaseback Transaction are at least equal to the Fair Market Value of such property; and

(c) the Company applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with Section 4.06 (following any Termination Date, such compliance shall be tested as if such covenant was in effect at such time).

SECTION 4.15. Termination of Covenants. Following the first day (the “Termination Date”) that: (a) the Securities have an Investment Grade Rating, and (b) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.12 and 5.01(a)(iii), regardless of any subsequent changes in the ratings of the Securities.

SECTION 4.16. Financial Calculations for Limited Condition Transactions and Other Transactions. (a) When calculating the availability under any basket or ratio under this Indenture or determining the absence of a Default or Event of Default (or any type of Default or Event of Default) as a condition to the making of any acquisition or other Permitted Investment, the consummation of which is not conditioned on the availability of, or on obtaining, third party financing (each, a “Limited Condition Transaction”) or incurrence of Indebtedness in connection therewith, the determination of whether the relevant condition is satisfied may be made, at the irrevocable election of the Company (such election, a “Limited Condition Transaction Election”), at the time of (and on the basis of the financial statements for the most recently ended fiscal period for

which financial statements are available at the time of) either (x) the execution of the definitive agreement with respect to such Limited Condition Transaction or (y) the consummation of the Limited Condition Transaction, in each case, after giving effect to the relevant Limited Condition Transaction and any related transactions (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof), on a pro forma basis (such date, the “Limited Condition Transaction Test Date”). If the Company makes such a Limited Condition Transaction Election, any subsequent calculation of any basket or ratio shall be calculated on an equivalent pro forma basis, unless the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction expires or is terminated without its consummation. Any Limited Condition Transaction Election shall be made pursuant to a written notice from the Company delivered to the Trustee at the time of the execution of the definitive agreements with respect to the Limited Condition Transaction; provided, however, that, to the extent the Company has not delivered such written notice to the Trustee by the time of execution of the definitive agreements with respect to such transaction, the relevant conditions required to be satisfied as a condition to consummating such transaction or incurring such Indebtedness will be tested at the time of consummation of such transaction and the related incurrence of Indebtedness. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company has made a Limited Condition Transaction Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the Limited Condition Transaction Test Date (including with respect to the incurrence of any Indebtedness) are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket (including due to fluctuations of the target of any Limited Condition Transaction) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Indenture under a restrictive covenant that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Indenture in the same restrictive covenant that requires compliance with any such financial ratio or test (any such amounts, the “Incurrence Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts (and any cash proceeds thereof) shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence Based Amounts in connection with such substantially concurrent incurrence.

SECTION 4.17. Escrow Agreement. (a) Concurrently with the closing of the offering of the Securities on the Issue Date, the Escrow Issuer will enter into the Escrow Agreement with the Trustee and the Escrow Agent, pursuant to which (i) the Escrow Issuer will deposit (or cause to be deposited) or instruct the Initial Purchasers (as defined in Appendix A) to deposit with the Escrow Agent in one or more segregated escrow accounts (collectively, the “Escrow Account”) an amount in cash or Cash Equivalents equal to the gross proceeds of the offering of the Securities sold on the Issue Date and (ii) the Escrow Issuer, the Company or NCR will deposit or cause to be deposited into the Escrow Account an amount of cash that would be sufficient to fund all interest due on the Securities if a Special Mandatory Redemption were to occur on

100

November 15, 2023. In addition, on or prior to November 7, 2023 (unless the Escrow Release has occurred on or prior to such date), the Escrow Issuer, the Company or NCR will deposit or cause to be deposited into the Escrow Account an amount of cash equal to the amount of interest that will accrue on the Securities from (and including) November 15, 2023, through (and including) January 8, 2024. The initial funds deposited in the Escrow Account, and all other funds, securities, interest, dividends, distributions, earnings and other property and payments credited to the Escrow Account in connection with the Securities (less any property and/or funds paid in accordance with the Escrow Agreement) are referred to, collectively, as the “Escrowed Funds.” Upon execution and delivery, and pursuant to the terms and conditions, of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Issuer will grant the Trustee, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders, a security interest (subject to the liens permitted under the Escrow Agreement) in the Escrow Account and the Escrowed Funds to secure the Secured Notes Obligations, including the Special Mandatory Redemption; provided, however, that such Lien and security interest shall be automatically extinguished on and terminate at the time of the Escrow Release.

(b) The Escrow Issuer may direct the Escrow Agent, in writing, to invest the Escrowed Funds in cash or Cash Equivalents, as determined by the Escrow Issuer in its sole discretion in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. In the absence of written direction from the Escrow Issuer as to a particular investment to be made, the Escrowed Funds will remain uninvested. Neither the Escrow Agent nor Trustee will be responsible for making any such investment selection.

(c) The Escrow Issuer will only be entitled to direct the Escrow Agent to release the Escrowed Funds in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent will release the Escrowed Funds (the “Escrow Release”) to, or at the order of, the Escrow Issuer (the date of such release being referred to as the “Escrow Release Date”) upon receipt by each of the Escrow Agent and the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate from the Escrow Issuer or the Company addressed to the Escrow Agent and the Trustee on or prior to the Outside Date certifying the satisfaction of the conditions to the release of Escrowed Funds set forth in the Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Release Conditions”).

(d) Upon the occurrence of the Escrow Release, the Escrow Account shall be reduced to zero and the Escrowed Funds and interest accrued thereon from the date of deposit shall be paid out in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Substantially concurrently with the Escrow Release, the Company shall cause the Escrow Merger to occur.

(e) Each Holder, by its acceptance of the Securities, shall be deemed to authorize and direct the Trustee to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Escrow Agreement.

SECTION 4.18. Limitations on Activities Prior to the Escrow Merger. (a) Prior to the Escrow Merger, the Escrow Issuer shall be a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company and will not own, hold or otherwise have any interest in any assets other than the Escrowed Funds. Further, prior to the Escrow Merger, the Escrow Issuer’s activities shall be restricted to (i) issuing the Initial Securities, (ii) performing its obligations in respect of the Securities under this Indenture and the Escrow Agreement, (iii) performing its obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Senior Secured Term Loan B Facility Escrow Agreement, (iv) instructing the Escrow Agent with respect to the investment of the Escrowed Funds and the Senior Secured Term Loan B Facility Escrow Agent with respect to the investment of the Senior Secured Term Loan B Facility Escrowed Funds in specified cash and Cash Equivalents in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and the Senior Secured Term Loan B Facility Escrow Agreement, as applicable, (v) consummating the Assumption, (vi) redeeming the Securities on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, if applicable, and (vii) conducting such other activities as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the activities described in this Section 4.18. The Escrow Issuer will not own, hold or otherwise have any interest in any assets other than the Escrowed Funds, the Senior Secured Term Loan B Facility Escrowed Funds, the Escrow Account and the Senior Secured Term Loan B Facility Escrow Account. Prior to the Assumption, the Escrow Issuer will not engage in any business operations or other activities, including Incurring Indebtedness, making Restricted Payments, consummating Asset Dispositions, entering into Affiliate Transactions, Incurring or permitting to exist any Lien on any of its properties and entering into Sale/Leaseback Transactions, other than those contemplated in this Section 4.18(a).

SECTION 4.19. Impairment of Security Interest. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, take or knowingly or negligently omit to take, any action which action or omission might reasonably or would (in the good faith determination of the Company) have the result of materially impairing the effectiveness of the security interests, taken as a whole, including the lien priority with respect thereto, with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of the Notes Collateral Agent and the Holders, including materially impairing the lien priority of the Securities with respect thereto (it being understood that any release expressly permitted by Section 12.02 and the incurrence of Permitted Liens shall not be deemed to so materially impair the security interests with respect to the Collateral).

SECTION 4.20. After-Acquired Collateral; Further Assurances.

(a) From and after the Assumption, subject to the applicable limitations and exceptions set forth in the Security Documents and this Indenture (including with respect to Excluded Assets), if the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor acquires any property or asset that is required to constitute Collateral, the Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be required to, within the time period set forth in the applicable Security Documents, grant a first-priority perfected security interest (subject to Permitted Liens and certain other exceptions set forth therein) upon any such Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Notes Secured Parties, as security for the Secured Notes Obligations.

102

(b) From and after the Escrow Release Date, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall, at their sole expense, duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, such further agreements, documents, instruments, financing and continuation statements and amendments thereto as may be necessary to confirm that the Notes Collateral Agent holds, for the benefit of itself, the Holders and the Trustee, duly created, enforceable and perfected (to the extent required by the Security Documents) Liens in the Collateral, subject to Permitted Liens. As necessary, or upon the reasonable request of the Notes Collateral Agent, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall, at their sole expense, execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all further action (including filing Uniform Commercial Code and other financing statements) as may be necessary to effectuate the provisions and purposes of the Security Documents, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

ARTICLE 5

Successor Company

SECTION 5.01. When Company May Merge or Transfer Assets. (a) After the Escrow Release Date, the Company shall not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease, in one transaction or a series of transactions, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all its assets to, any Person, unless:

(i) either (A) the Company shall be the surviving corporation or (B) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (in each of clauses (A) or (B), the “Successor Company”) shall (1) be a corporation or limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia (provided that, if the Successor Company is a limited liability company, then, for so long as the Successor Company is not a corporation, there shall be a Restricted Subsidiary of such Person which shall be a corporation organized in the jurisdictions permitted by this clause (1) and a co-obligor of the Securities) and (2) expressly assume all the obligations of the Company under the Securities, this Indenture, the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement, any Acceptable Junior Priority Intercreditor Agreement and the applicable Security Documents pursuant to supplemental indentures, joinders to the applicable Security Documents, the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement, any Acceptable Junior Priority Intercreditor Agreement, or other documents or instruments executed and delivered to, and in form satisfactory to, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent;

(ii) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by such Successor Company or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(iii) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction, either (A) the Successor Company would be able to Incur an additional $1.00 of Coverage Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or (B) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio for the Successor Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be equal to or greater than such ratio for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction;

103

(iv) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture; and

(v) to the extent any assets of the Person who is merged, consolidated or amalgamated with or into the Successor Company are assets of the type that would constitute Collateral under the Security Documents, the Successor Company will take such action as may be reasonably necessary to cause such property and assets to be made subject to the Lien of the applicable Security Documents in the manner and to the extent required in this Indenture or the applicable Security Documents and shall take all reasonably necessary action so that such Lien is perfected to the extent required by the applicable Security Documents;

provided, however, that clause (a)(iii) shall not be applicable to (A) a Restricted Subsidiary consolidating with, merging into or transferring all or part of its properties and assets to the Company (so long as no Capital Stock of the Company is distributed to any Person) or (B) the Company merging with an Affiliate of the Company solely for the purpose and with the sole effect of reincorporating the Company in another jurisdiction or converting into a corporation or limited liability company (provided that, if the Company converts to a limited liability company, then, for so long as the Company is not a corporation, there shall be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company which shall be a corporation organized in the jurisdictions permitted by clause (a)(i) above and a co-obligor of the Securities).

For purposes of this Section 5.01, the sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company, which properties and assets, if held by the Company instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company.

The Successor Company shall be the successor to the Company and shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture, the Securities, the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement, any Acceptable Junior Priority Intercreditor Agreement and the applicable Security Documents, and the predecessor Company, except in the case of a lease, shall be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Securities and will automatically be released and discharged from its obligations under this Indenture, the Securities, the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement, any Acceptable Junior Priority Intercreditor Agreement and the applicable Security Documents, as applicable.

104

For all purposes of this Indenture, Subsidiaries of any Successor Company shall, upon any transaction subject to this Section 5.01, become Restricted Subsidiaries or Unrestricted Subsidiaries as provided pursuant to this Indenture, and all Indebtedness and Liens of the Successor Company and its Subsidiaries that were not Indebtedness or Liens on property or assets, as the case may be, of the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction shall be deemed to have been Incurred upon such transaction.

(b) The Company shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of its assets to any Person unless:

(i) except in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor (x) that has been disposed of in its entirety to another Person (other than to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company), whether through a merger, consolidation or sale of Capital Stock or assets or (y) that, as a result of the disposition of all or a portion of its Capital Stock, ceases to be a Subsidiary, the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not such Subsidiary) shall be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the jurisdiction under which such Subsidiary was organized or under the laws of the United States of America, or any State thereof or the District of Columbia (such Subsidiary Guarantor or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Guarantor”), and such Person shall expressly assume all the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s related Guarantee pursuant to supplemental indentures, joinders to the applicable Security Documents and the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement, any Acceptable Junior Priority Intercreditor Agreement or other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent;

(ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or transactions on a pro forma basis (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the resulting, surviving or transferee Person as a result of such transaction as having been issued by such Person at the time of such transaction), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(iii) to the extent any assets of the Person who is merged, consolidated or amalgamated with or into the Successor Guarantor are assets of the type that would constitute Collateral under the Security Documents, the Successor Guarantor will take such action as may be reasonably necessary to cause such property and assets to be made subject to the Lien of the applicable Security Documents in the manner and to the extent required in this Indenture or the applicable Security Documents and shall take all reasonably necessary action so that such Lien is perfected to the extent required by the applicable Security Documents; and

105

(iv) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such Guarantee Supplemental Indenture, if any, complies with this Indenture;

provided, however, that Section 5.01(b) will not be applicable to a Subsidiary Guarantor merging with an Affiliate of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor solely for the purpose and with the sole effect of reincorporating the Subsidiary Guarantor in another jurisdiction or converting into a corporation or limited liability company; provided further, however, that this Section 5.01 shall not be applicable to a Restricted Subsidiary consolidating with, merging into or transferring all or part of its properties and assets to the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor.

The Successor Guarantor will succeed to, and be substituted for, such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture, the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement, any Acceptable Junior Priority Intercreditor Agreement and the applicable Security Documents and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee and such Guarantor will automatically be released and discharged from its obligations under this Indenture, the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement, any Acceptable Junior Priority Intercreditor Agreement and the applicable Security Documents and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Subsidiary Guarantor may (i) merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or into or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or part of its properties or assets to another Subsidiary Guarantor or the Company, (ii) merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or into, the Company or an Affiliate of the Company solely for the purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing such Subsidiary Guarantor in the United States, any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) convert into a corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company, trust or other entity organized or existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of such Guarantor or a jurisdiction in the United States, any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia or (iv) liquidate or dissolve or change its legal form if the Board or the senior management of the Company determines in good faith that such action is in the best interests of the Company and is not materially disadvantageous to the Holders, in each case, without regard to the requirements set forth in the preceding paragraph.

(c) Upon the consummation of the Assumption, the Company shall (i) promptly notify the Trustee in writing identifying and confirming the Assumption Date, and upon receipt of such written notice, the Trustee shall hereby be authorized and directed to execute and deliver a supplemental indenture of the type referred to in Section 5.01(a)(i)(B)(2) and (ii) execute and deliver to the Trustee (x) a supplemental indenture of the type referred to in Section 5.01(a)(i)(B)(2), in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto, whereupon the Company shall be the Successor Company and shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Escrow Issuer under this Indenture; provided that no Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel shall be required in connection with the execution of a supplemental indenture of the type referred to in Section 5.01(a)(i)(B)(2) to be entered into by the Company pursuant to the Assumption and (y) the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement, the Security Agreement and any other applicable Security Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.01 shall not prohibit, restrict or limit the Company’s ability to consummate the Escrow Merger, the Spin-Off or any related Transactions.

(l) the failure by the Company to pay or cause to be paid the Special Mandatory Redemption Price on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to Section 3.07;

The foregoing shall constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, United States Code, or any similar Federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

A Default under Sections 6.01(d), 6.01(e) or 6.01(f) shall not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities notify the Company of the Default (simultaneously sending a copy of such notice to the Trustee, in the case of a notice sent by Holders) and the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, does not cure such Default within the time specified after receipt of such notice; provided that a notice of Default may not be given with respect to any action taken, and reported publicly or to Holders, more than two years prior to such notice of Default. Such notice must be in writing, specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” Any such notice of Default, notice of acceleration or instruction delivered to the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, to provide a notice of Default, notice of acceleration or take any other action under this paragraph (a “Special Noteholder Direction”) provided by any one or more Holders (each a “Directing Holder”) must be accompanied by a written representation from each such Holder delivered to the Company, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, that such Holder is not (or, in the case such Holder is the Depositary or its nominee, that such Holder is being instructed solely by beneficial owners that are not) Net Short (a “Position Representation”), which representation, in the case of a Special Noteholder Direction relating to the delivery of a notice of Default shall be deemed repeated at all times until the resulting Event of Default is cured or otherwise ceases to exist or the Securities are

109

accelerated. In addition, each Directing Holder shall be deemed to, at the time of providing a Special Noteholder Direction, covenant to provide the Company with such other information as the Company may reasonably request from time to time in order to verify the accuracy of such Holder’s Position Representation within five Business Days of request therefor (a “Verification Covenant”). In any case in which the Holder is the Depositary or its nominee, any Position Representation or Verification Covenant required hereunder shall be provided by the beneficial owner of the Securities in lieu of the Depositary or its nominee, and the Depositary shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Position Representation and Verification Covenant in delivering its direction to the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, without any duty of further verification or inquiry. Neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent shall be liable and shall be fully protected for any action that the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent takes or fails to take in accordance with this paragraph and the next succeeding paragraph, or arising out of or in connection with following instructions of or taking actions in accordance with a Special Noteholder Direction. For the avoidance of doubt, the requirements of this paragraph and the next succeeding paragraph shall only apply to Special Noteholder Directions and do not apply to any other directions given by Holders to the Trustee under this Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent shall have any no liability whatsoever for acting in accordance with the requirements of this paragraph and the next succeeding paragraph and may conclusively rely on such Position Representation without any duty of further verification or inquiry. Neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent shall have any duty to inquire as to or investigate the accuracy or authenticity of any Position Representation or determine whether it complies with the provisions of this Indenture, enforce compliance with any Verification Covenant, to monitor, investigate, verify or otherwise determine if a holder has a Net Short Position, inquire if the Issuer will seek action to determine if a Directing Holder has breached its Position Representation or monitor any court proceedings undertaken in connection therewith, verify any statements in any Officer’s Certificate delivered to it, or otherwise make calculations, investigations or determinations with respect to Derivative Instruments, Net Shorts, Long Derivative Instruments, Short Derivative Instruments or otherwise and shall have no liability for ceasing to take any action or staying any remedy, or otherwise failing to act in accordance with a Special Noteholder Direction. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Securities or any other document, the provisions of this paragraph and the next succeeding paragraph will apply and survive with respect to each beneficial owner notwithstanding that any such person may have ceased to be a beneficial owner, this Indenture may have been terminated, the Securities may have been redeemed in full or the Trustee may have resigned or been removed.

If, following the delivery of a Special Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Securities, the Company determines in good faith that there is a reasonable basis to believe a Directing Holder was, at any relevant time, in breach of its Position Representation and provides to the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the Company has filed papers with a court of competent jurisdiction seeking a determination that such Directing Holder was, at such time, in breach of its Position Representation, and seeking to invalidate any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Special Noteholder Direction, the cure period

110

with respect to such Event of Default shall be automatically stayed pending a final and non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction on such matter. If, following the delivery of a Special Noteholder Direction and the aforementioned Officer’s Certificate, but prior to acceleration of the Securities, the Company provides to the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate stating that a Directing Holder failed to satisfy its Verification Covenant, the cure period with respect to any Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Special Noteholder Direction shall be automatically stayed pending satisfaction of such Verification Covenant. Any breach of the Position Representation shall result in such Holder’s participation in such Special Noteholder Direction being disregarded; and, if, without the participation of such Holder, the percentage of Securities held by the remaining Holders that provided such Special Noteholder Direction would have been insufficient to validly provide such Special Noteholder Direction, such Special Noteholder Direction shall be void ab initio (other than any indemnity and/or security such Directing Holder may have offered to the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable), with the effect that such Event of Default shall be deemed never to have occurred, any related acceleration rescinded and the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be deemed not to have received such Special Noteholder Direction or any notice of Default or Event of Default.

Each Holder by accepting any Security acknowledges and agrees that neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent (nor any agent) shall be liable to any person for acting or refraining to act in accordance with (i) the foregoing provisions, (ii) any Special Noteholder Direction, (iii) any Officer’s Certificate delivered to it in connection therewith or (iv) its duties under this Indenture, as the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, may determine in its sole discretion as a result of the foregoing provisions

Additionally, a default under Sections 6.01(e) or 6.01(f) for the failure to deliver any report within the time periods prescribed in Section 4.02 or to deliver any notice or certificate required by this Indenture shall be deemed to be cured upon the subsequent delivery of any such report, notice or certificate, even though such delivery is not within the prescribed period specified.

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after obtaining knowledge of the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any event which is, or with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default and its status.

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or 6.01(i) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by written notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or 6.01(i) with respect to the Company occurs, the principal of and interest on all the Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable

111

without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities by written notice to the Trustee may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Securities and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of acceleration. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

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

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.

SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities by written notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default and its consequences except (a) a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on a Security, (b) a Default arising from the failure to redeem or purchase any Security when required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or (c) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right.

SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. Subject to the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of the Securities (it being understood that the Trustee shall have no duty or obligation to determinate if such direction is unduly prejudicial to the rights of the Holders) or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification and/or security satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses, fees, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) caused by taking or not taking such action.

112

SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. (a) Subject to the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement, and except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless:

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

(ii) Holders of at least 30% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities have made a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(iii) such Holders have offered the Trustee security and/or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of security and/or indemnity; and

(v) Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

(b) A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. In the event that the Definitive Securities are not issued to any beneficial owner promptly after the Registrar has received a request from the Holder of a Global Security to issue such Definitive Securities to such beneficial owner of its nominee, the Company expressly agrees and acknowledges, with respect to the right of any Holder to pursue a remedy pursuant to this Indenture, the right of such beneficial holder of Securities to pursue such remedy with respect to the portion of the Global Security that represents such beneficial holder’s Securities as if such Definitive Securities had been issued.

SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on the Securities held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Securities, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any other obligor on the Securities for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on overdue principal and (to the extent lawful) on any unpaid interest at the rate provided for in the Securities) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.06.

SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

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

FIRST: to the Trustee (acting in each of its capacities hereunder) and the Notes Collateral Agent (acting in either capacity hereunder) for amounts due under this Indenture, including, without limitation, under Section 7.06, or under any Security Documents or Intercreditor Agreements to which the Notes Collateral Agent is a party;

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

SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant.

SECTION 6.12. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Guarantor (to the extent it may lawfully do so) shall at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

114

SECTION 6.13. Completion of Transactions Not a Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Indenture, no provision of this Indenture shall prevent the completion of any of the Transactions, nor shall the Transactions give rise to any Default or Event of Default.

SECTION 6.14. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Issuer, the Notes Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted.

SECTION 6.15. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in Section 2.07, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 6.16. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Security, the Trustee may but shall not be obligated to withhold the notice if and so long as it determines that withholding the notice is not opposed to the interests of the Holders.

SECTION 7.06. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer and each Subsidiary Guarantor, jointly and severally, shall pay to the Trustee (acting in any capacity hereunder, including as Notes Collateral Agent) from time to time compensation for its services as agreed by the Issuer and the Trustee. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer and each Subsidiary Guarantor, jointly and severally, shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services.

The Issuer shall defend the claim and the Trustee indemnified party shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Issuer’s expense in the defense. Such indemnified parties may have separate counsel and the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel unless (i) in the sole judgment of the Trustee, there is a conflict of interest between the Issuer and the relevant Indemnified Party in connection with such defense, (ii) the Issuer has not retained counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee or (iii) there are defenses available to the relevant indemnified party that may not be asserted by the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor. Any settlement which affects an indemnified party may not be entered into without the consent of the Trustee, unless the Trustee is given a full and unconditional release from liability with respect to the claims covered thereby and such settlement does not include a statement or admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the Trustee. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by an indemnified party through such party’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision).

119

To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section 7.06, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Securities.

The payment obligations of the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors pursuant to this Section 7.06 shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture, any rejection or termination of this Indenture under any bankruptcy law or the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or, with respect to the Issuer, the expenses and compensation for services (including the fees and expenses of counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 7.07. Replacement of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may remove the Trustee by written notice to the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Trustee if:

(i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.08;

(ii) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

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

(iv) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

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

(c) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers, privileges, protections, indemnities, immunities and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall deliver a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing to the Trustee (in each of its capacities hereunder) have been paid, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.06. Further, the retiring or resigning Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for any action or inaction of a successor Trustee.

120

(d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of 10% in principal amount of the Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, the obligations of the Issuer and each Subsidiary Guarantor under Section 7.06 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee and the successor Trustee.

SECTION 7.08. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture and any of the Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

SECTION 7.09. Escrow Agreement. The Trustee shall agree to the appointment of the Escrow Agent and shall enter into the Escrow Agreement. The Trustee, in its capacity as such, is not responsible for the contents or sufficiency of the Escrow Agreement; and in entering into the Escrow Agreement, and with respect to all matters arising under the Escrow Agreement, the Trustee, in its capacity as such, shall have the rights, protections, privileges, immunities and indemnities granted to it under this Indenture. Neither the Trustee nor any Holder (whether acting directly or by direction or demand to the Trustee) shall be entitled or permitted to give any direction to, or make any demand upon, the Escrow Agent that would be contrary to, or in conflict with Section 2 of the Escrow Agreement.

Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance

SECTION 8.01. Discharge of Liability on Securities; Defeasance. (a) When (i) all outstanding Securities (other than Securities replaced or paid pursuant to Section 2.07) have been cancelled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (ii) all outstanding Securities have become due and payable, whether at maturity or on a redemption date as a result of the delivery of a notice of redemption pursuant to Article 3

121

hereof, and, in the case of clause (ii), the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee funds sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption of all outstanding Securities, including interest thereon to maturity or such redemption date (other than Securities replaced or paid pursuant to Section 2.07) and Applicable Premium, if any, and if in either case the Company pays all other sums payable under this Indenture, then this Indenture shall, subject to Section 8.01(c), cease to be of further effect and the Subsidiary Guarantees and the Liens on the Collateral securing the Securities will be irrevocably released; provided that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Section 8.01 to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit on the date of redemption (any such amount, the “Applicable Premium Deficit”) only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of redemption (it being understood that any defeasance shall be subject to the condition subsequent that such deficit is in fact paid). Any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption. The Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the Company.

(b) Subject to Sections 8.01(c) and 8.02, the Company at any time may terminate (i) all of its obligations under the Securities and this Indenture (“legal defeasance option”) or (ii) its obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13 and 4.14 and the operation of Sections 6.01(d), 6.01(e), 6.01(g), 6.01(h), 6.01(i) and 6.01(j) (but, in the case of Sections 6.01(h) and 6.01(i), with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries and the Subsidiary Guarantors) and the limitations contained in Section 5.01(a)(iii) (“covenant defeasance option”).

If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto. If the Company exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d), 6.01(e), 6.01(f), 6.01(g), 6.01(h) (with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries and Subsidiary Guarantors), 6.01(i)or because of the failure of the Company to comply with Section 5.01(a)(iii).

Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Company terminates.

Thereafter, the Company’s obligations in Sections 7.06, 8.04 and 8.05 shall survive.

122

SECTION 8.02. Conditions to Defeasance. (a) The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option only if:

(i) the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee money in an amount sufficient or U.S. Government Obligations, the principal of and interest on which shall be sufficient, or a combination thereof sufficient, to pay the principal of, and premium (if any) and interest on the Securities when due at maturity or redemption, as the case may be, including interest thereon to maturity or such redemption date; provided that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Section 8.02 to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any Applicable Premium Deficit only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of redemption (it being understood that any defeasance shall be subject to the condition subsequent that such deficit is in fact paid). Any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption;

(v) in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (B) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable U.S. Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders shall not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and legal defeasance and shall be subject to U.S. Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and legal defeasance had not occurred;

123

(vi) in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders shall not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and covenant defeasance and shall be subject to U.S. Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and covenant defeasance had not occurred; and

(vii) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Securities as contemplated by this Article 8 have been complied with.

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal and interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors, and the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies.

SECTION 8.05. Indemnity for Government Obligations. The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations.

124

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

After an amendment under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the Company shall deliver to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.01.

SECTION 9.02. With Consent of Holders. (a) The Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent may amend this Indenture (including the obligations of the Company to make a Change of Control Offer pursuant to Section 4.08 of this Indenture, the Securities, the Equal Priority Intercreditor

127

Agreement, any Acceptable Junior Priority Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents without notice to any Holder but with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Securities) and any past default or compliance with any provisions may also be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Securities). However, without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Security affected thereby, an amendment or waiver may not:

(i) reduce the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment;

(ii) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Security;

(iii) reduce the principal of or change the Stated Maturity of any Security;

(iv) change the provisions applicable to the redemption of any Security as described under Article 3 of this Indenture or Section 5 of the Securities (other than any change to the notice periods with respect to such redemptions);

(v) make any Security payable in money other than that stated in the Security;

(vi) make any change in Section 6.04 or 6.07 or the second sentence of this Section 9.02;

128

(x) reduce the Special Mandatory Redemption Price;

(xi) release Escrowed Funds in any manner or at any time other than as set forth in the Escrow Agreement; or

(xii) make any material change to the provisions set forth in Section 3.07 or Section 4.17 of this Indenture or to the Escrow Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing in Section 9.01 or 9.02(a) above, without the consent of the Holders of at least 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, no amendment or waiver may (a) make any change in any Security Document, the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement, any Acceptable Junior Priority Intercreditor Agreement or the provisions in this Indenture dealing with Collateral or application of trust proceeds of the Collateral with the effect of releasing the Liens on all or substantially all of the Collateral which secure the Secured Notes Obligations or (b) change or alter the priority of the Liens securing the Secured Notes Obligations in any material portion of the Collateral in any way materially adverse, taken as a whole, to the Holders, other than, in each case, as provided under the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement.

(c) Each Holder, by its acceptance of the Securities, will be deemed to have consented and agreed to the terms of each Security Document, as originally in effect and as amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time in accordance with its terms or the terms of this Indenture; and authorizes and empowers the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent and (through the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement) the Controlling Collateral Agent to bind the Holders and other holders of Equal Priority Obligations as set forth in the applicable Security Documents to which they are a party and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights and powers thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such consent or deemed consent shall be deemed or construed to represent an amendment or waiver, in whole or in part, of any provision of this Indenture or the Securities. This paragraph will not, however, limit the right of the Company to amend, waive or otherwise modify the Security Documents in accordance with their terms.

(d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, no amendment, restatement, supplement, modification or waiver of any provision of this Indenture or any Security Document nor consent to any departure by any party thereto shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights, duties, obligations, privileges, protections, exculpations, immunities, or indemnities of the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent (as determined by the Trustee and/or the Notes Collateral Agent in its sole discretion) thereunder, unless in writing executed by the Trustee and/or the Notes Collateral Agent, in each case such execution to be given or withheld in the Trustee’s and/or the Notes Collateral Agent’s sole discretion.

129

(f) After an amendment under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall deliver to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section 9.02.

SECTION 9.03. Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. (a) A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Security shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Security or portion of the Security if the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent receive the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the (i) receipt by the Company or the Trustee of the requisite number of consents, (ii) satisfaction of conditions to effectiveness as set forth in this Indenture and any indenture supplemental hereto containing such amendment or waiver and (iii) execution of such amendment or waiver (or Guarantee Supplemental Indenture) by the Company, the Notes Collateral Agent and the Trustee.

(b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding Section 9.03(a), those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date.

SECTION 9.04. Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall execute a new Security that reflects the changed terms, and upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate such new Security. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Security shall not affect the validity of such amendment.

SECTION 9.05. Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent to Sign Amendments. The Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to sign any amendment pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment affects the rights, duties, liabilities, privileges, protections, indemnities or immunities of the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent (as applicable). If it does, the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent may but shall not be obligated to sign it. In signing any amendment hereto the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive indemnity and/or security satisfactory to it and to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in

130

relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent in this Indenture relating to the execution and delivery of such amendment have been complied with and (ii) such amendment (other than any amendment substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto solely to add one or more Subsidiary Guarantors) is the valid and binding obligation of the Company and any Subsidiary Guarantor enforceable against each in accordance with its terms.

SECTION 9.06. Payment for Consent. Neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company may, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Securities unless such consideration is offered to be paid to all Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

ARTICLE 10

Subsidiary Guarantees

SECTION 10.01. Subsidiary Guarantees. (a) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby jointly and severally irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (i) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of all obligations of the Company under this Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee (in each of its capacities hereunder and the Notes Collateral Agent)) and the Securities, whether for payment of principal of or interest on in respect of the Securities and all other monetary obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Securities and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Company whether for fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise under this Indenture and the Securities (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from each such Subsidiary Guarantor, and that each such Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article 10 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

(b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Securities or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement or otherwise, (ii) any extension or renewal of any thereof, (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement, (iv) the failure of any Holder or Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or (v) any change in the ownership of such Subsidiary Guarantor.

131

(c) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have its obligations hereunder divided among the Subsidiary Guarantors, such that such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations would be less than the full amount claimed. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets of the Company first be used and depleted as payment of the Company’s or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to require that the Company be sued prior to an action being initiated against such Subsidiary Guarantor.

(d) Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(e) Except as expressly set forth in Section 8.01(b), 10.02 and 10.06, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Subsidiary Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

(f) Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

(g) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether

132

at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (iii) all other monetary obligations of the Company to the Holders and the Trustee (in each of its capacities hereunder, including, without limitation, as Notes Collateral Agent).

(h) Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of any Subsidiary Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Subsidiary Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 10.01.

(i) Each Subsidiary Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01.

(j) Upon request of the Trustee, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture.

SECTION 10.02. Limitation on Liability. (a) Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

SECTION 10.03. Successors and Assigns. This Article 10 shall be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Securities shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

133

SECTION 10.04. No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 10 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 10 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

SECTION 10.05. Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article 10, nor the consent to any departure by any Subsidiary Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Subsidiary Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Subsidiary Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

SECTION 10.06. Release of Subsidiary Guarantor. A Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically and irrevocably released from its obligations under this Article 10 (other than any obligation that may have arisen under Section 10.07) upon:

(a) (i) the designation of such Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(ii) the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its guarantee of Indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, so long as such Subsidiary Guarantor would not then otherwise be required to guarantee the Securities pursuant to Section 4.11;

(iii) the sale or other disposition of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation, the sale of its Capital Stock or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, so long as the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.06 or Section 5.01;

(iv) the release or discharge of the Indebtedness that would have required such Subsidiary Guarantor to enter into a Guarantee Supplemental Indenture pursuant to Section 4.11, other than a release or discharge by or as a result of the payment of such Indebtedness; or

(v) the Company exercising its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option or if the Company’s obligations under this Indenture are discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

At the written request of the Company, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release (in the form provided by the Company).

134

SECTION 10.07. Execution of Guarantee Supplemental Indenture for Future Subsidiary Guarantors. Each Subsidiary which is required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.11 shall promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guarantee Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article 10 and shall guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations. Subject to the exception in Section 4.11, concurrently with the execution and delivery of such Guarantee Supplemental Indenture, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that such Guarantee Supplemental Indenture complies with the requirements of Section 4.11 and that, subject to the application of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and to the principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity, the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor is a valid and binding obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor, enforceable against such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with its terms and or to such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request.

SECTION 10.08. Non-Impairment. The failure to endorse a Subsidiary Guarantee on any Security shall not affect or impair the validity thereof.

SECTION 10.09. Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Subsidiary Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Subsidiary Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

SECTION 12.09. Notes Collateral Agent.

The Notes Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 12.09. Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Notes Collateral Agent in accordance with the provision of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Notes Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be authorized and binding upon all Holders. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, the duties of the Notes Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements to which the Notes Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Notes Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder or any Grantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements or otherwise exist against the Notes Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Notes Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

144

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

(c) None of the Notes Collateral Agent or any of its respective Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision) or under or in connection with any Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Trustee or any Holder for any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Issuer or any other Grantor or Affiliate of any Grantor, or any Officer or Related Person thereof, contained in this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Notes Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, or for any failure of any Grantor or any other party to this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. None of the Notes Collateral Agent or any of its respective Related Persons shall be under any obligation to the Trustee or any Holder to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements or to inspect the properties, books, or records of any Grantor or any Grantor’s Affiliates.

145

proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Issuer or any other Grantor), independent accountants and other experts and advisors selected by the Notes Collateral Agent. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document. The Notes Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities as it determines and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified and/or provided with security to its satisfaction by the Holders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Notes Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements in accordance with a request, direction, instruction or consent of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders.

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

If the Notes Collateral Agent resigns under this Indenture, the Issuer shall appoint a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the intended effective date of the resignation of the Notes Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Trustee, at the direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, may appoint a successor collateral agent, subject to the consent of the Issuer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required during a continuing Event of Default). If no successor collateral agent is appointed and consented to by the Issuer pursuant to the preceding sentence within 30 days after the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the notice of resignation) the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Notes Collateral Agent, and the term “Notes Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring Notes Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Notes Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After

146

the retiring Notes Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 12.09 shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring Notes Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Notes Collateral Agent under this Indenture.

The Notes Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision).

Should the Trustee obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon written request from the Issuer, the Trustee shall notify the Notes Collateral Agent thereof and promptly shall deliver such Collateral to the Notes Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Notes Collateral Agent’s instructions.

(k) The Notes Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Grantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Notes Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all of the Grantor’s property constituting Collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Security Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or

147

sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture, any Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreements other than pursuant to the instructions of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities or as otherwise provided in the Security Documents.

(l) If the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor (i) incurs any Junior Priority Obligations at any time when no Acceptable Junior Priority Intercreditor Agreement is in effect and (ii) delivers to the Notes Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate so stating and requesting the Notes Collateral Agent to enter into an Acceptable Junior Priority Intercreditor Agreement in favor of a designated agent or representative for the holders of the Junior Priority Obligations so incurred, together with an Opinion of Counsel and Officer’s Certificate, the Notes Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby authorized and directed to) enter into such intercreditor agreement (at the sole expense and cost of the Issuer, including legal fees and expenses of the Notes Collateral Agent), bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein and perform and observe its obligations thereunder.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or the Security Documents, in the event the Notes Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under the mortgages or take any such other action if the Notes Collateral Agent has determined that the Notes Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances. The Notes Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this clause if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Issuer or the Holders to be sufficient.

(n) The Notes Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents or instrument referred to herein or therein, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision, (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received

148

by it except as the Notes Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Issuer (and money held in trust by the Notes Collateral Agent need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law) and (iii) may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act.

(o) The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages (included but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action.

(p) The Notes Collateral Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Issuer or any other Grantor under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to the Holders or any other Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Notes Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or any Security Document; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of the Intercreditor Agreements and any Security Documents of any other party thereto; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Obligations; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its Obligations under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents. The Notes Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to any Holder or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any obligor of any terms of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and any Security Documents. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents unless expressly set forth hereunder or thereunder. The Notes Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from the Holders with respect to the administration of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements.

149

to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements, the Security Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents, the Notes Collateral Agent may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Notes Collateral Agent in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral. In the event that the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee’s sole discretion may cause the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. §9601, et seq., or otherwise cause the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee to incur liability under CERCLA or any other federal, state or local law, the Notes Collateral Agent and the Trustee reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver. Neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any other Person for any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to the discharge, release or threatened release of hazardous materials into the environment. If at any time it is necessary or advisable for property to be possessed, owned, operated or managed by any Person (including the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee) other than the Issuer or the Guarantors, a majority in interest of Holders shall direct the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee in writing to appoint an appropriately qualified Person (excluding the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee) who they shall designate to possess, own, operate or manage, as the case may be, the property.

(r) Upon the receipt by the Notes Collateral Agent of a written request of the Issuer signed by an Officer (a “Security Document Order”), the Notes Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and enter into, and shall execute and enter into, without the further consent of any Holder or the Trustee, any Security Document to be executed after the Issue Date; provided that the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to execute any Security Document if such Security Document affects the rights, duties, liabilities, privileges, protections, indemnities or immunities of the Notes Collateral Agent.. Such Security Document Order shall (i) state that it is being delivered to the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to, and is a Security Document Order referred to in, this Section 12.09(r), and (ii) instruct the Notes Collateral Agent to execute and enter into such Security Document. Any such execution of a Security Document shall be at the direction and expense of the Issuer, upon delivery to the Notes Collateral Agent of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of the Security Document have been satisfied. The Holders, by their acceptance of the Securities, hereby authorize and direct the Notes Collateral Agent to execute such Security Documents.

(z) The rights, privileges, benefits, immunities, indemnities and other protections given to the Trustee are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Notes Collateral Agent as if the Notes Collateral Agent were named as the Trustee herein and the Security Documents were named as this Indenture herein.

(aa) Section 7.06 of this Indenture shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Notes Collateral Agent in its capacity as such, provided that for the purposes of this Section 12.09(aa).

152

(cc) Neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Notes Collateral Agent (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision), for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the applicable Grantor to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.

(dd) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein (but not with respect to express discretions to the Notes Collateral Agent hereunder), whenever reference is made in this Indenture, any Intercreditor Agreement or any Security Document, to any discretionary action whether by consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the Notes Collateral Agent in its discretion or to any discretionary election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment, expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by the Notes Collateral Agent, it is understood that in all cases the Notes Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any such discretionary action if it shall not have received written instruction, advice or concurrence of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding or any controlling agent or representative under this Indenture, any Intercreditor Agreement or Security Document in respect of such action (in each case as applicable). The Notes Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any failure or delay in taking any actions contemplated above as a result of a failure or delay on the part of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding or any controlling agent or representative under this Indenture, any Intercreditor Agreement or Security Document to provide such instruction, advice or concurrence.

SECTION 12.10. Security Documents; Intercreditor Agreements.

the terms or contents of such agreements, or for the validity or enforceability thereof, or the sufficiency thereof for any purpose. Whether or not so expressly stated therein, in entering into, or taking (or forbearing from) any action under, any Intercreditor Agreement or any other Security Document, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent each shall have all of the rights, privileges, benefits, immunities, indemnities and other protections granted to it under this Indenture (in addition to those that may be granted to it under the terms of such other agreement or agreements).

SECTION 12.11. Force Majeure. In no event shall the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, epidemics or pandemics and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex or other wire or communication facility, it being understood that the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

(ii) written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Securities Custodian to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Security to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented by the Global Security, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such increase,

then the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Security and cause, or direct the Securities Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Securities Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Securities represented by the Global Security to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Security to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Security equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Security so canceled.

the beneficial interest in the Global Security being transferred. Transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Security to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through the Regulation S Global Security, whether before or after the expiration of the Restricted Period, shall be made only upon receipt by the Trustee of a certification in the form provided on the reverse of the Securities from the transferor to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Regulation S or (if available) Rule 144 under the Securities Act and that, if such transfer is being made prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, the interest transferred shall be held immediately thereafter through Euroclear or Clearstream.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4), a Global Security 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.

The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
