FORM OF NOTES

Section 2.01 Form and Dating. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed or of any automated quotation system on which any such Notes may be quoted, or to conform to usage, all as determined by the officers executing such Notes as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

(a) Restricted Global Notes. All of the Notes are initially being offered and sold to (i) qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act or (ii) outside the United States to persons other than U.S. persons in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities Act, and shall be issued initially in the form of one or more 144A Global Notes and Regulation S Global Notes, respectively, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee, as custodian for the depositary, DTC, and registered in the name of its nominee, Cede & Co., duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amount of the Restricted Global Notes may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Note Custodian as hereinafter provided, subject in each case to compliance with the Applicable Procedures.

(b) Form of Notes. Notes issued in global form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Definitive Notes shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note shall represent such of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Note Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by this Indenture and shall be made on the records of the Trustee and the Depository.

-28-

Members of, or participants in, the Depository (“Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depository or under the Global Note, and the Depository (including, for this purpose, its nominee) may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall (A) prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or (B) impair, as between the Depository and its Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

(c) Additional Notes. Subject to compliance with the provisions of Sections 6.10 and 6.11 hereof, the Company may issue Additional Notes in an unlimited amount under this Indenture. The Initial Notes and any Additional Notes will have the same ranking, interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Initial Notes, except for the issue date, the initial interest payment date and the original interest accrual date. Any Additional Notes together with the Notes will constitute a single series of Notes issued under this Indenture. If any Additional Notes are not fungible with any other Notes for United States federal income tax purposes or if the Company otherwise determines that any Additional Notes should be differentiated from any other Notes, such Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number; provided that such Additional Notes will still constitute a single series with all other Notes issued under this Indenture.

(d) Book Entry Provisions. The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section 2.01(d), authenticate and deliver initially one or more Global Notes that (i) shall be registered in the name of the applicable Depository or its nominee, (ii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the applicable Depository or pursuant to the applicable Depository’s instructions and (iii) shall bear legends substantially in the form of the first paragraph of Exhibit A attached hereto.

ARTICLE III

THE NOTES

Section 3.01 Title and Terms. The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited. The Initial Notes will be issued in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,650.0 million. The Notes shall be known and designated as the “8.000% First Lien Secured Notes due 2027” of the Company. The final Stated Maturity of the Notes shall be April 1, 2027.

Interest on the Outstanding principal amount of Notes will accrue at a rate of 8.000% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 in each year, commencing on October 1, 2019 (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), to the Holders of record on the immediately preceding March 15 and September 15, respectively (each such March 15 and September 15, a “Regular Record Date”). Interest on the Initial Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from March 15, 2019, and interest on any Additional Notes will accrue (or will be deemed to have accrued) from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid on such Additional Notes, from the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the date of issuance of such Additional Notes, or if the date of issuance of such Additional Notes is an Interest Payment Date, from such date of issuance; provided that if any Note is surrendered for exchange on or after a Regular Record Date that will occur on or after the date of such exchange, interest on the Note received in exchange thereof will accrue from the date of such Interest Payment Date.

-29-

Payment of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes shall be made, in the currency of the United States of America that at the time is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or, at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Register or, in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to the Paying Agent, by wire transfer to an account designated by the Holder.

Section 3.02 Denominations. The Notes shall be issuable only as Notes in denominations of $2,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, and shall be payable only in U.S. Dollars.

Section 3.03 Execution and Authentication.

(a) The Notes shall be executed in the name and on behalf of the Company by an Officer. Such signatures may be the manual signature of the present or any future such Officer. If the Person whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Note is authenticated and delivered, the Note shall nevertheless be valid.

(b) The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver (i) Initial Notes for original issue in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $1,650.0 million and (ii) Additional Notes from time to time for original issue in aggregate principal amounts specified by the Company, in each case specified in clauses (i) and (ii) above, upon a Company Order. The Company Order shall specify the principal amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated, whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes or Additional Notes and whether the Notes are to be issued as one or more Global Notes or physical Notes and such other information as the Company may include or the Trustee may reasonably request.

(c) In authenticating the Notes and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Notes, the Trustee shall receive, and (subject to Section 11.02) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate, prepared in accordance with Section 15.01 stating that the conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture have been complied with, and (other than with respect to the authentication of the Initial Notes) an Opinion of Counsel, prepared in accordance with Section 15.01 and substantially in the form set forth below:

(i) that such Notes, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to (A) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights, (B) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (C) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing;

(ii) if applicable, that the supplemental indenture, setting forth the terms of such Notes, when executed and delivered by the Trustee in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to (A) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights, (B) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (C) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; and

(iii) that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture in respect of the authentication and delivery by the Company of such Notes have been complied with.

(d) The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver the Notes under this Section 3.03 if the issue of the Notes pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Notes and this Indenture or otherwise.

(e)

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

-30-

(f) Each Depository designated pursuant to Section 2.01 for a Global Note in registered form must, at the time of its designation an at all times while it serves as such Depository, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation.

(g) No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto duly executed by the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent by manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Note shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Note to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.09, for all purposes of this Indenture such Note shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 3.04 Temporary Notes.

(a) Pending the preparation of definitive Notes, the Company may execute and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise reproduced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such temporary Notes may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such temporary Notes. Any such temporary Note may be in global form, representing all or a portion of the Outstanding Notes. Every such temporary Note shall be executed by the Company and shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the definitive Note or Notes in lieu of which it is issued.

(b) If temporary Notes are issued, the Company shall cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of such temporary Notes at the Corporate Trustee Office for such purposes provided in Section 6.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of Notes of authorized denominations and of like tenor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.

Upon any exchange of a portion of a temporary Global Note for a definitive Note or for the individual Notes represented thereby pursuant to this Section 3.04 or Section 3.06, the temporary Global Note shall be endorsed by the Trustee to reflect the reduction of the principal amount evidenced thereby, whereupon the principal amount of such temporary Global Note shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so exchanged and endorsed.

Section 3.05 Registrar; Noteholder Lists.

(a) The Company shall keep, at an office or agency to be maintained by it in the Corporate Trust Office where Notes may be presented for registration or presented and surrendered for registration of transfer or of exchange, and where Notes that are convertible or exchangeable may be surrendered for conversion or exchange, as applicable (the “Registrar”), a security register for the registration and the registration of transfer or of exchange of the Notes (the registers maintained in the Corporate Trust Office being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Register”), as in this Indenture provided, which Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee during business hours on business days in the location of the Registrar. Such Register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. The Company may have one or more co-Registrars; the term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar.

(b) The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or co-Registrar not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of each such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any Affiliate thereof may act as Registrar, co-Registrar or transfer agent.

-31-

(c) The Company hereby initially appoints The Bank of New York Mellon at its Corporate Trust Office as Registrar in connection with the Notes and this Indenture, until such time as another Person is appointed as such in replacement of the Trustee as such. So long as the Trustee serves as Registrar, it will be entitled as Registrar to the same rights of compensation, reimbursement and indemnification under Section 11.01 as if it were Trustee. No Person shall at any time be appointed as or act as Registrar unless such Person is at such time empowered under applicable law to act as such Registrar.

(d) 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 of the Notes. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company will furnish to the Trustee at least ten 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 of the Notes.

Section 3.06 Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Subject to compliance with any applicable additional requirements contained in Section 3.12, when Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes only in accordance with this Indenture. Upon any transfer or exchange, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 3.04 or 4.02).

Neither the Company nor the Registrar will be required (i) to issue, register the transfer or purchase of, or exchange Notes for the period beginning at the opening of business 15 days immediately preceding the sending of a notice of redemption of Notes selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day such notice is sent or (ii) to issue, register the transfer or purchase of, or exchange Notes selected for redemption.

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

(c) Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility or obligation with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depository or its nominee or any Members, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any Members, Beneficial Owner or other Person (other than the Depository) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depository or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of Beneficial Owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depository subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depository. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Members and any Beneficial Owners. The Trustee and the Agents shall be entitled to deal with the Depository, and any nominee thereof, that is the registered holder of any Global Note for all purposes of this Indenture relating to such Global Note (including the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest and additional amounts, if any, and the giving of instructions or directions by or to the owner or holder of a Beneficial Ownership interest in such Global Note) as the sole holder of such Global Note and shall have no obligations to the Beneficial Owners thereof. None of the Trustee or any Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of the Depository with respect to such Global Note, for the records of any such depositary, including records in respect of Beneficial Ownership interests in respect of any such Global Note, for any transactions between the Depository and any Members or between or among the Depository, any such Members and/or any holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global Note.

-32-

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

Section 3.07 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes.

(a) If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office or (ii) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to them to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless, and neither the Company nor the Trustee receives notice that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, then the Company shall execute and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor, form, terms and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding, and neither gain nor loss in interest shall result from such exchange or substitution.

(b) In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay the amount due on such Note in accordance with its terms.

(c) Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 3.07, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any Tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in respect thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) in connection therewith.

(d) Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

(e) The provisions of this Section 3.07 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 3.08 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

(a) Interest on any Note which is payable, and is paid or provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest notwithstanding the cancellation of such Note upon any transfer or exchange subsequent to the Regular Record Date. Payment of interest on Notes shall be made at the Corporate Trust Office or in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.01) or, at the option of the Company by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Register or, in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, by wire transfer to an account designated by the Holder.

(b) If the Company defaults in a payment of any interest on any Note (“Defaulted Interest”), then such Defaulted Interest shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Record Date by virtue of his, her or its having been such a Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 3.08(b):

(i) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names such Notes are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest (a “Special Record Date”), which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 calendar days and not less than 10 calendar days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 calendar days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given to each Holder of Notes, not less than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been given as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Notes are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (ii).

-33-

(ii) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on Notes in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Notes may be listed or of any automated quotation system on which any such Notes may be quoted, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or quotation system, as applicable, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

(c) Subject to the foregoing provisions in this Section 3.08, each Note delivered under this Indenture in exchange or substitution for, or upon registration of transfer of, any other Note shall carry all the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

Section 3.09 Cancellation. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.01 for Notes, all Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or otherwise shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Paying Agent, be delivered to the Paying Agent for cancellation and shall be promptly canceled by it and, if surrendered to the Paying Agent, shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Paying Agent for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Paying Agent for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder that the Company has not issued or sold, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Paying Agent. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. The Paying Agent shall dispose of all canceled Notes held by it in accordance with its then customary procedures, unless otherwise directed by a Company Order, and deliver a certificate of such disposal to the Company upon its request therefor. The acquisition of any Notes by the Company shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented thereby unless and until such Notes are surrendered to the Paying Agent for cancellation.

Section 3.10 Computation of Interest. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

Section 3.11 CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing or separately identifying any Notes may use CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers, if then generally in use, and thereafter, the Trustee may use such numbers in any notice of redemption or exchange, as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Agents of any change in the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers.

-34-

Section 3.12

Legend; Additional Transfer and Exchange Requirements.

(a) If Notes are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes subject to restrictions on transfer and bearing the legends set forth on the form of Notes attached hereto as Exhibit A (collectively, the “Legend”), or if a request is made to remove the Legend on a Note, the Notes so issued shall bear the Legend, or the Legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to the Company such satisfactory evidence, which shall include an opinion of counsel if requested by the Company, as may be reasonably required by the Company, that neither the Legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or that such Notes are not “restricted” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act; provided that no such evidence need be supplied in connection with the sale of such Note pursuant to a registration statement that is effective at the time of such sale. Upon (i) provision of satisfactory evidence if requested, or (ii) notification by the Company to the Trustee and Registrar of the sale of such Note pursuant to a registration statement that is effective at the time of such sale, the Trustee, at the written direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver a Note that does not bear the Legend. If the Legend is removed from the face of a Note and the Note is subsequently held by an Affiliate of the Company, the Legend shall be reinstated.

(b) A Global Note may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other than the Depository or a nominee or any successor thereof, and no such transfer to any such other Person may be registered; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any transfer of a Note that is issued in exchange for a Global Note but is not itself a Global Note; provided further that in no event shall a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note be transferred to a U.S. Person prior to the receipt by the Registrar of any certificates required pursuant to Regulation S, as determined by the Company. No transfer of a Note to any Person shall be effective under this Indenture or the Notes unless and until such Note has been registered in the name of such Person. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, transfers of a Global Note, in whole or in part, shall be made only in accordance with this Section 2.12.

(c) Subject to the succeeding paragraph, every Note shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in the Legend. Whenever any Restricted Note is presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange for a Note registered in a name other than that of the Holder, such Note must be accompanied by a certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A dated the date of such surrender and signed by the Holder of such Note, as to compliance with such restrictions on transfer. The Registrar shall not be required to accept for such registration of transfer or exchange any Note not so accompanied by a properly completed certificate.

(d) The restrictions imposed by the Legend upon the transferability of any Note shall cease and terminate when such Note has been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or transferred in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto) or, if earlier, upon the expiration of the holding period applicable to sales thereof under Rule 144(d)(1)(ii) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision). Any Note as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or shall have terminated may, upon a surrender of such Note for exchange to the Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.12 (accompanied, in the event that such restrictions on transfer have terminated by reason of a transfer in compliance with Rule 144 or any successor provision, by, if requested by the Company or the Registrar, an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company and addressed to the Company to the effect that the transfer of such Note has been made in compliance with Rule 144 or such successor provision), be exchanged for a new Note, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the restrictive Legend. The Company shall inform the Trustee of the effective date of any registration statement registering any Notes under the Securities Act. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the aforementioned opinion of counsel or registration statement.

(e) As used in this Section 2.12, the term “transfer” encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer, hypothecation or other disposition of any Note.

(f) The provisions of clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) below shall apply only to Global Notes:

(i) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, a Global Note shall not be exchanged in whole or in part for a Note registered in the name of any Person other than the Depository or one or more nominees thereof, provided that a Global Note may be exchanged for Notes registered in the names of any person designated by the Depository in the event that (A) the Depository has notified the obligors that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Note and the Company fails to appoint a successor Depository or (B) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes. Any Global Note exchanged pursuant to clause (A) above shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part, and any Global Note exchanged pursuant to clause (B) above may be exchanged in whole or from time to time in part as directed by the applicable Depository. Any Note issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion thereof shall be a Global Note; provided that any such Note so issued that is registered in the name of a Person other than the applicable Depository or a nominee thereof shall not be a Global Note.

-35-

(ii) Notes issued in exchange for a Global Note or any portion thereof shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of such Global Note or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be registered in such names and shall be in such authorized denominations as the Depository shall designate and shall bear the applicable legends provided for herein. Any Global Note to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the Depository to the Trustee, as Registrar. With regard to any Global Note to be exchanged in part, either such Global Note shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee is acting as custodian for the Depository or its nominee with respect to such Global Note, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Notes issuable on such exchange to or upon the order of the Depository or an authorized representative thereof.

(iii) Subject to the provisions of clause (v) below, the registered Holder may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

(iv) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (i) above, the obligors will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of applicable Definitive Notes in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.

(v) Neither Agent Members nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note registered in the name of the Depository or any nominee thereof, or under any such Global Note, and the Depository or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depository, its Agent Members and any other Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

(vi) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or Beneficial Owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so as and when expressly required by, the terms or this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

Section 4.01 Notices to Trustee.

If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of Section 4.07, it must furnish to the Trustee, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth:

(1)

the clause of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur;

(2)

the Redemption Date;

(3)

the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed; and

(4)

the Redemption Price.

The Company may cancel any optional redemption referenced in such Officer’s Certificate at any time prior to notice of redemption being sent to any Holder and thereafter shall be null and void.

Section 4.02 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, selection of such Notes for redemption shall be made by the Trustee:

(a) if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of such securities exchange; or

(b) if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or in such manner as the Trustee shall deem to be fair and appropriate;

provided that, in each case, no Notes of $2,000 or less shall be purchased or redeemed in part.

Section 4.03 Notice of Redemption.

(a) Notice of redemption shall be delivered electronically or mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes whose Notes are to be redeemed in whole or in part at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC, except that purchase and redemption notices may be delivered electronically or mailed more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharged of this Indenture pursuant to Article XII. The Company shall deliver electronically or mail by first-class mail copies of notices of purchase or redemption to the Trustee.

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

(i)

the Redemption Date;

(ii)

the Redemption Price;

(iii) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the original Note;

(iv)

the name and address of the Paying Agent;

-37-

(v) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price;

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

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

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

(ix)

any conditions to redemption.

(b) If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, in which case a portion of the original Note will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. In the case of a Global Note, an appropriate notation will be made on such Note to decrease the principal amount thereof to an amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof. Subject to the terms of the applicable redemption notice (including any conditions contained there), Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption.

Section 4.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Notice of any redemption of the Notes may, at the Company’s discretion, be given prior to the completion of a transaction (including an Equity Offering, an incurrence of Indebtedness, a Change of Control or other transaction) and any redemption notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of a related transaction. If such redemption or purchase is so subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice 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 such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed. In addition, the Company may provide in such notice that payment of the Redemption Price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

Section 4.05 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the redemption or purchase date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or purchase price of, and accrued interest, if any, on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest, if any, will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest up to the Redemption Date shall be paid on the Redemption Date to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such Record Date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 6.01.

Section 4.06 Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered; provided, that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute actual or constructive knowledge or notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on certificates from the Company).

Section 6.09 Limitation on Restricted Payments. (A) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly:

The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.09, in the event that a Restricted Payment meets the criteria of more than one of the categories described in Section 6.09(A), clauses (1) through (10) of Section 6.09(B) or the definition of “Permitted Investments,” the Company will be permitted to classify such Restricted Payment and later reclassify all or a portion of such Restricted Payment in any manner that complies with this Section 6.09. In addition, a Restricted Payment need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such Restricted Payment but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 6.09 permitting such Restricted Payment.

Section 6.10 Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness.

(iii) shall not include Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that refinances Indebtedness of the Company (it being understood that this clause (iii) does not prohibit Indebtedness of the Company from being Refinancing Indebtedness solely because it may be guaranteed by a Restricted Subsidiary where such guarantee is otherwise permitted by this Indenture (including pursuant to clause (iv) immediately below)); and

(C)

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.10:

(a) in the event that an item of Indebtedness or preferred stock meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness or preferred stock described in clauses (a) through (s) of Section 6.10(B) or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 6.10(A), the Company, in its sole discretion, will classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness or preferred stock (or any portion thereof) and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness or preferred stock in one of the clauses of Section 6.10(B) or as having been incurred pursuant to Section 6.10(A); provided, that all Indebtedness outstanding under the Senior Credit Facilities and this Indenture on the Issue Date after application of the use of proceeds from the Notes as described in the Offering Memorandum will be treated as incurred on such date Section 6.10(B)(a) and the Company shall not be permitted to reclassify all or any portion of such Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date;

(b) at the time of incurrence or thereafter, the Company will be entitled to divide and classify or reclassify an item of Indebtedness or preferred stock in more than one of the types of Indebtedness or preferred stock described above;

(c) the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may, but shall not be required to, elect pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee to treat all or any portion of the commitment under any Indebtedness (including with respect to any revolving loan commitment) as being incurred at the time of such commitment and thereafter outstanding so long as such commitment remains outstanding, regardless of whether fully drawn, in which case any subsequent incurrence of Indebtedness under such commitment shall not be deemed to be an incurrence at such subsequent time; and

(d) for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent any clauses above limit the amount of Indebtedness that can be incurred by a numerical limit, such numerical limit shall be determined by the amount of Indebtedness then outstanding in reliance on such clause.

(D) Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness, the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of Disqualified Stock and the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles or the application thereof will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11 Limitation on Liens. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, allow any Lien (each, an “Initial Lien”) on any of the Company’s or its Restricted Subsidiaries’ property or assets (which includes capital stock) securing Indebtedness, unless:

(i) in the case of Initial Liens securing Collateral, such Initial Lien is a Permitted Lien; or

(ii) in the case of Initial Liens on any asset or property that is not Collateral, either (a) the Notes are equally and ratably secured with (or on a senior basis to, in the case such Initial Lien secures any Subordinated Indebtedness) the obligations secured by such Initial Lien until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien or (b) such Initial Lien is a Permitted Lien.

-51-

For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent clause (i) above or any clause of the definition of “Permitted Lien” limits the amount of Indebtedness secured by a Lien, such numerical limit shall be determined by the amount of Indebtedness secured by such Lien then outstanding in reliance on such clause.

Any Lien created for the benefit of Holders pursuant to this Section 6.11 shall be automatically released without any further action by the Holders upon release of the Initial Lien on such other Indebtedness.

Section 6.12 Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates. (A) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) in any one or series of related transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $100.0 million, unless:

(a) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person as determined by the Company in good faith (or, in the event that there are no comparable transactions involving Persons who are not Affiliates of the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary to apply for comparative purposes, is otherwise on terms that, taken as a whole, the Company has determined in good faith to be fair to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary), and

(b) the Company delivers to the Trustee with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $250.0 million, a resolution adopted by the majority of the Board of Directors of the Company (and a majority of the disinterested directors serving on the Board of Directors of the Company) approving such Affiliate Transaction and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with Section 6.12(A)(a).

(B) The foregoing provisions will not apply to the following:

(i) transactions between or among the Company and/or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(ii) (x) Restricted Payments permitted by Section 6.09 and (y) Permitted Investments;

(iv) transactions in which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from a Nationally Recognized Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or meets the requirements of Section 6.12(A)(a);

(v) the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any agreement to which it is a party as of the Issue Date and any similar agreements which it may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations under any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Issue Date shall only be permitted by this clause (v) to the extent that the terms of any such agreement, together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, or new agreement are not more disadvantageous as determined by the Company to the Holders or the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in any material respect than the agreement in effect as of the Issue Date;

-52-

(vi) any agreement that grants registration and other customary rights in connection therewith or otherwise to the direct or indirect securityholders of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (and the performance of such agreements);

(vii) any transaction with an entity which would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries owns an equity interest in or otherwise controls such entity; provided that no Affiliate of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company shall have a beneficial interest in such joint venture or similar entity;

(viii) the issuance of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company to any Person;

(xiii) any Plan Contribution; and

(xiv) transactions with Affiliates solely in their capacity as holders of Indebtedness or Capital Stock of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, where such Affiliates are generally treated no more favorably than non-Affiliates in such transactions.

Section 6.13 Limitations on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any such Restricted Subsidiary to:

(a) (1) pay dividends or make any other distributions to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries:

(A) on its Capital Stock or

(B) with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits or

(2) pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(b) make loans or advances to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or

-53-

except (in each case) for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(i) contractual encumbrances or restrictions in effect on the Issue Date, including pursuant to the Senior Credit Facilities and Existing Indebtedness and related documentation as in effect on the Issue Date;

(ii) this Indenture, the Notes, the Collateral Documents and the Note Guarantees;

(iii) purchase money obligations and Capital Lease Obligations for property that impose restrictions of the nature set forth in Section 6.13(c) on that property;

(iv) applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order, approval, license or similar restriction, including Governmental Authorizations;

(v) any agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company in existence at the time of such acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired;

(vi) contracts for the sale of assets, including customary restrictions with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to an agreement that has been entered into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary;

(vii) Secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to Sections 6.10 and 6.11 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such Indebtedness;

(viii) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers, suppliers, landlords or required by insurance, surety or bonding companies, in each case under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(ix) customary provisions in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements;

(x) customary provisions contained in leases, licenses and other agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(xi) restrictions in agreements or instruments which prohibit the payment or making of dividends or other distributions other than on a pro rata basis;

(xii) other Indebtedness or preferred stock of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is incurred pursuant to Section 6.10; provided that such encumbrances or restrictions (1) are no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, taken as a whole, than those included in the Senior Credit Facilities as in effect as of the Issue Date (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith) or (2) will not materially affect the Company’s ability to make anticipated principal or interest payments on the Notes (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith); and

(xiii) any encumbrances or restrictions of the type referred to in Section 6.13(a), (b) and (c) imposed by any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (i) through (xii) of this Section 6.13, provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings (1) are, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors, not materially more restrictive with respect to such encumbrance and other restrictions than those prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing, taken as a whole, or (2) will not materially affect the Company’s ability to make anticipated principal or interest payments on the Notes (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith).

-54-

Section 6.14 Repurchase of Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs with respect to the Notes, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part, equal to $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000, of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to a Change of Control offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) on the terms set forth in this Indenture at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to, but not including, the applicable date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, if the Company had not, prior to the Change of Control Triggering Event, sent a redemption notice, with a copy to the Trustee, for all the Notes in connection with an optional redemption permitted by Article IV, the Company will mail a notice (the “Change of Control Notice”), with a copy to the Trustee, to each registered Holder briefly describing the transaction or transactions that constitute a Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase Notes on the date specified in such Change of Control Notice (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures required by this Indenture and described in such notice (which procedures shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee).

To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Triggering Event provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Triggering Event provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such conflict.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered; and

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

The Paying Agent will promptly pay to each registered Holder of Notes so tendered and not withdrawn the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate, or cause to be transferred by book entry, to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided, that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Any Note so accepted for payment will cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Payment Date.

The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event 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 Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer.

A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Triggering Event, and conditional upon the occurrence of such Change of Control Triggering Event, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control Triggering Event at the time of making the Change of Control Offer. If a Change of Control Notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, such Change of Control Notice shall state that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control and Ratings Decline and describe each such condition, and, if applicable, state that, in the Company’s discretion, the Change of Control Payment Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, 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 by the Change of Control Payment Date, or by the Change of Control Payment Date as so delayed. The Change of Control Notice shall also specify the date by which such notice was required to be given, the date by which the Holders have to make an election to repurchase and the procedures therefor, and whether the Holders may withdraw their election to repurchase and the procedures therefor.

-55-

In the event that Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company as described above, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, within 60 days of such purchase, the Company or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, to redeem all of the Notes that remain Outstanding following such purchase at a Redemption Price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to, but excluding, the Redemption Date pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article IV.

Section 6.15 Asset Sales.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, consummate an Asset Sale, unless:

(i) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of;

(ii) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents, Replacement Assets or a combination of the foregoing; and

(iii) if such Asset Sale involves the disposition of Collateral, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary has complied with the other provisions of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents related thereto.

Within 365 days after the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt of the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply an amount equal to the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale:

(1) to permanently reduce Pari Passu Obligations or repay, redeem or purchase the Notes; provided that if the Company shall so reduce, repay, redeem or repurchase Pari Passu Obligations other than the Notes, it will equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article IV, through privately negotiated transactions or open market purchases or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.08 for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes, in each case, at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the amount of the Notes that would otherwise be prepaid, which offer shall constitute a reduction of the Obligations under the Notes under this provision, whether or not accepted; provided further that, in addition to the foregoing, the Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale of Collateral may not be applied to prepay, repay or repurchase any Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (1) other than Pari Passu Obligations;

(2) to (a) make an investment in any one or more businesses, provided that such investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, owning or continuing to own an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (b) make capital expenditures or (c) acquire other assets (including assets that replace the business, properties and assets that were the subject of the Asset Sale), in each of (a), (b) and (c), engaged, used or useful in a Similar Business; provided further that any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale of Collateral shall only be invested in other Collateral or in other businesses, properties or assets that become Collateral to the extent such business, properties or assets are required to become “Collateral” or “Pledged Collateral” (or any equivalent term) as defined in the First Priority Credit Documents in accordance with the terms of any of the First Priority Credit Documents;

-56-

(3)

to retire Notes pursuant to the procedures set forth under Article IV; or

(4)

any combination of the foregoing;

provided that, in the case of clause (2) above, a binding commitment entered into prior to the end of such 365-day reinvestment period shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later canceled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are so applied, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment (a “Replacement Commitment”) within nine months of such cancellation or termination; provided, further, that if any Replacement Commitment is later canceled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds.

Any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale that are not invested or applied as set forth in the preceding paragraph and within the 365-day reinvestment period will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $100.0 million, the Company shall make an offer to all Holders, and, if required by the terms of any other Pari Passu Obligations, to the holders of such other Pari Passu Obligations (an “Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such other Pari Passu Obligations that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.08. The Company will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed $100.0 million by mailing the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee.

To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Obligations tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture, subject to other covenants contained in this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes or the other Pari Passu Obligations surrendered by such Holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Notes or such other Pari Passu Obligations tendered in accordance with Section 4.08. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds of Asset Sales, the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

(b) For purposes of clause (a) of this Section 6.15 only, the following shall be deemed to be Cash Equivalents: (i) any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s, or such Restricted Subsidiary’s, most recent balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, other than liabilities that are unsecured or are by their terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes (or, for the avoidance of doubt, Lien priority on the Collateral), that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and for which the Company and all of its Restricted Subsidiaries have been unconditionally released by all creditors or their representatives in writing or that are discharged by the transferee or a third party in a transaction pursuant to which neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has any liability following such Asset Sale, (ii) any Notes or other obligations or securities or assets received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale, (iii) Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Sale, to the extent that the Company and each other Restricted Subsidiary are released from any guarantee of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Sale; (iv) consideration consisting of Indebtedness of the Company (other than Indebtedness that is unsecured or are by its terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes) received after the Issue Date from Persons who are not the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; and (v) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (v) that is at that time in existence, not to exceed an amount equal to the greater of $900.0 million or 3.00% of Total Assets, 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.

-57-

To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof.

Section 6.16 Suspension of Covenants. During the period in which: (1) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from at least two Rating Agencies or the equivalent thereof under any new ratings system if the ratings system of any such agency shall be modified after the date hereof and (2) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (1) and (2) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), the following provisions of this Indenture will not be applicable to the Notes:

(A)

Section 6.09;

(B)

Section 6.10;

(C)

Section 6.12;

(D)

Section 6.13;

(E)

Section 6.15; and

(F)

clause (iii) of Section 5.01(A);

(collectively, the “Suspended Covenants” and, the date of such suspension, the “Suspension Date”). Upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Excess Proceeds from Net Proceeds shall be set at zero. In the event that the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or more of the Rating Agencies that had assigned an Investment Grade Rating withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating and as a result less than two Rating Agencies have assigned an Investment Grade Rating, then the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to in this description as the “Suspension Period.” Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period (or upon termination of the Suspension Period or after that time based solely on events that occurred during the Suspension Period). For purposes of determining compliance with Section 6.11 during the Suspension Period, it shall be assumed that the provisions of Section 6.10 are applicable during such period as if the applicable Covenant Suspension Event had not occurred.

On the Reversion Date, all Indebtedness incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred pursuant to Section 6.10(A). To the extent such Indebtedness would not be so permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 6.10(A), such Indebtedness will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under clause (c) of the definition of “Permitted Debt.” Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 6.09 will be made as though Section 6.09 had been in effect since the Issue Date and throughout the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 6.09(A). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, during a Suspension Period the Company may not designate any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

-58-

The Company shall deliver promptly to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate notifying it of any such occurrence under this Section 6.16 and, upon written request by the Company and at its expense, the Trustee shall deliver a notice of such occurrence to the Holders of Notes at their addresses as the same shall then appear in the Register. Any failure of the Company to deliver such Officer’s Certificate or the Trustee to deliver such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any events described under this Section 6.16. The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor any of the events described under this Section 6.16.

Section 6.17 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted SubsidiariesThe Company’s Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. Any designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be a designation of each of such entity’s Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of such designation and may reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 6.09 or under one or more of the clauses of the definition of “Permitted Investments”, as determined by the Company. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of the Board Resolution giving effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 6.09.

(a) If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary under this Indenture, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 6.10, the Company will be in default of such covenant.

(b) The Company’s Board of Directors may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that, immediately after giving effect to such designation, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing and either:

(1) the Company could incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Total Leverage Ratio set forth in Section 6.10(A); or

(2) the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio immediately prior to such designation, on a pro forma basis taking into account such designation;

provided, further, that such redesignation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness and, if applicable, an incurrence of related Liens by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding Indebtedness and, if applicable, related Liens of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such redesignation will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness and, if applicable, related Liens are permitted under Section 6.10 and, if applicable, Section 6.11, calculated, if applicable, on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

Section 6.18 Future Guarantors. The Company shall, in each case within 60 days, cause each Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (other than any Excluded Subsidiary) that directly or indirectly assumes, becomes a borrower under or guarantees any Indebtedness of the Company under any Senior Credit Facility or any capital markets Indebtedness to become a Guarantor and execute and deliver a supplemental indenture to this Indenture providing for a Note Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary and, if applicable, become a party to the Collateral Documents and take actions required thereunder to perfect liens created thereunder, provided that in the event that the guarantee of the Company’s obligations under the Notes or this Indenture by such Restricted Subsidiary would not be permitted under applicable law, this covenant will not be applicable to such Restricted Subsidiary.

The Company may elect, in its sole discretion, to cause any Subsidiary that is not otherwise required to be a Guarantor to become a Guarantor.

ARTICLE VII

REMEDIES OF TRUSTEE AND SECURITYHOLDERS

Section 7.01 Events of Default. The term “Event of Default,” wherever used herein, with respect to the Notes, means any of the following:

(ii) default in the payment of all or any part of the principal or premium (if any) on the Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable either at its final Stated Maturity, upon any redemption, by declaration or otherwise;

(iii) failure on the part of the Company duly to observe or perform any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Company in the Notes or contained in this Indenture for a period of 90 days after the date on which written notice specifying such failure, stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder and demanding that the Company remedy the same, shall have been given by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the Company by the Trustee, or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes;

(iv) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there is issued or by which there is secured or evidenced any Indebtedness by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the issuance of the Notes, if

(A) such default either

(1) results from the failure to pay any such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) or

(2) relates to an obligation other than the obligation to pay principal of any such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity and results in the holder or holders of such Indebtedness causing such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated final maturity;

(B) the principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregate $500.0 million or more at any one time outstanding; and

(C) in the case of the occurrence of a default described in Section 7.01(iv)(A)(2), such default results in (x) the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to the stated final maturity thereof or (y) the commencement of judicial proceedings to foreclose upon, or to exercise remedies under applicable law or applicable security documents to take ownership of, the assets securing such Indebtedness;

(v) failure by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $500.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent (net of any amounts which are covered by insurance policies from creditworthy insurers), which final judgments remain undischarged, unwaived and unstayed for a period of more than 60 days after such judgment becomes final;

(vi) the Company shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or consent to the appointment or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any substantial part of its property, or make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors;

-60-

(vii) (i) any material provisions of any Collateral Document shall cease to be in full force and effect, or the Company or any other Grantor shall so assert in writing or (ii) any Lien required by this Indenture that is created by any Collateral Document shall cease to be enforceable and perfected and of the same effect and priority purported to be created thereby, or the Company or any other Grantor shall so assert in writing, in each case, for any reason other than (x) pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and of any Collateral Document, including as a result of a transaction not prohibited by this Indenture or (y) the failure of the Collateral Agent to maintain possession of any certificates representing or evidencing the Collateral actually delivered to it; or

(viii) all or substantially all of the value of the Note Guarantees shall cease to be in full force and effect, or Guarantors in respect thereof shall so assert in writing, for any reason other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, including as a result of a transaction not prohibited by this Indenture.

Section 7.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

(a) If an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(i) or (ii) occurs with respect to the Notes and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may declare the entire principal of the Notes, and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration, the same shall become immediately due and payable.

(b) If an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(iii) occurs with respect to Notes and is continuing for a period of 60 days after the date on which the underlying Default becomes an Event of Default, then, and in each and every such case, unless the principal of the Notes shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may declare the entire principal of all of the Outstanding Notes, and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon such declaration, the same shall become immediately due and payable.

(c) If an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(vi) occurs and is continuing, then the principal amount of all the Outstanding Notes, and the interest accrued thereon, if any, shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

(d) The foregoing provisions are subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal of the Notes shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided:

(x) the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

(i) all matured installments of interest upon all the Notes; and

(ii) the principal of any and all Notes which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration; and

(iii) interest upon such principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest, at the Overdue Rate to the date of such payment or deposit; and

(iv) all amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07; and

-61-

(y) all Events of Default with respect to the Notes, other than the non-payment of the principal of the Notes which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein,

then, and in every such case, the Holders of a majority, or any applicable supermajority, in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults related to the Notes and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default relating to the Notes or shall impair any right consequent thereon.

(e) In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01(iv) has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if the default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01(iv) shall be remedied or cured, or waived by the holders of the Indebtedness with respect to which such default has occurred within 30 days after the declaration of acceleration of the Notes.

(f) If a Default is deemed to occur solely as a consequence of the existence of another Default (the “Initial Default”), then, at the time such Initial Default is cured, the Default that resulted solely because of that Initial Default will also be cured without any further action.

Section 7.03 Collection of Indebtedness by Trustee; Trustee May Prove Debt.

(a) The Company covenants that (i) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest on the Notes when such interest shall have become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of 60 days, or (ii) in case default shall be made in the payment of all or any part of the principal of the Notes when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of such Notes or upon any redemption or by declaration or otherwise, then upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on such Notes for principal and interest, as the case may be (with interest to the date of such payment upon the overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest at the Overdue Rate applicable to such Notes); and in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, and such other amount due the Trustee under Section 11.01 in respect of such Notes.

(b) Until such demand is made by the Trustee, the Company may pay the principal of and interest on such Notes to the registered Holders, whether or not the Notes be overdue.

(c) In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or other obligor upon such Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or other obligor upon such Notes, wherever situated, all the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

(d) In case there shall be pending proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes then Outstanding under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Company or its property or such other obligor, or in case of any other similar judicial proceedings relative to the Company or other obligor upon such Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of such Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.03, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:

-62-

(i) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of such Notes, and, in the case of any judicial proceedings, to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 11.01) and of the Holders of such Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or other obligor upon such Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor; and

(ii) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, or unless otherwise directed by a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, to vote on behalf of the Holders of such Notes in any election of a receiver, assignee, trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, custodian or other person performing similar functions in respect of any such proceedings; and

(e) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of such Notes any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting such Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of such Notes in any such proceeding, except as aforesaid in clause (ii).

(f) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture or under the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of such Notes or the production thereof in any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be awarded to the Trustee for ratable distribution to the Holders of such Notes in respect of which such action was taken, after payment of all sums due to the Trustee under Section 11.01 in respect of such Notes.

(g) In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party), the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes in respect to which such action was taken, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of such Notes parties to any such proceedings.

Section 7.04

Application of Proceeds.

(a) Subject to the provisions of the Collateral Documents, any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article VII in respect of the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes or, after an Event of Default, any money or other property distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture, shall be applied in the following order at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such moneys on account of principal or interest, upon presentation of the several Notes in respect of which monies have been collected and stamping (or otherwise noting) thereon the payment, or issuing Notes in reduced principal amounts in exchange for the presented Notes if only partially paid, or upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

THIRD: In case the principal of the Outstanding Notes in respect of which moneys have been collected shall have become and shall be then due and payable, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon such Notes for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal, and (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee and is permitted by applicable law) upon the overdue installations of interest at the Overdue Rate applicable to such Notes; and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon such Notes, then to the payment of such principal and interest, without preference or priority of principal over interest, or of interest over principal, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest or of any such Note over any other such Note, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and accrued and unpaid interest; and

FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or any other person lawfully entitled thereto.

Section 7.05

Suits for Enforcements.

In case an Event of Default with respect to any Notes has occurred, has not been waived and is continuing, (a) the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture and such Notes by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or such Notes or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture or such Notes or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture, such Notes or by law and (b) subject to the provisions of the Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent may pursue any available remedy to enforce the performance of any provision of the Collateral Documents and any remedy available to it to enforce the performance of any provision of this Indenture that runs to its benefit.

Section 7.06

Restoration of Rights on Abandonment of Proceedings.

In case the Trustee or any Holder shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee or such Holder, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

Section 7.07

Limitation on Suits by Noteholders.

No Holder of any Notes shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or such Note, or for the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official or for any other remedy hereunder or thereunder, unless:

(a) such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default with respect to the Notes and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided,

(b) the Holders of at least than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby,

-64-

(c) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute any such action or proceeding, and

(d) no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.10.

For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 7.07, each and every Holder of such Notes and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Section 7.08

Right of Noteholders To Institute Certain Suits.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture and any provision of any Note, the right of any Holder of any Note to receive payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note, or upon redemption, by declaration, repayment or otherwise, or to institute 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 7.09

Powers and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver of Default.

No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Notes 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.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of such Notes to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Indenture, any Note or law to the Trustee or to the Holders of such Notes may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or, subject to Section 7.07, by the Holders of Notes.

Section 7.10

Control by Holders of Notes.

Subject to the provisions of the Collateral Documents, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to such Notes by this Indenture; provided that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture and shall not expose the Trustee to personal liability; and provided further, that (subject to Section 11.02) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction (a) if the Trustee being advised by counsel, shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken; or (b) if the Trustee by its board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee shall determine in good faith that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability; or (c) if the Trustee in good faith shall so determine that the actions or forbearances specified in or pursuant to such direction would be unduly prejudicial to the interests of the Holders of the Notes not joining in the giving of said direction, it being understood that (subject to Section 11.02) the Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders.

Nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee in its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction or directions by Holders of Notes.

Section 7.11

Waiver of Past Defaults.

Prior to the declaration of acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 7.01, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Notes at the time Outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all such Notes waive any past default or Event of Default described in Section 7.01 and its consequences, except a default in respect of a covenant or provision of this Indenture or the Notes which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected. In the case of any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of all such Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, and such default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred for purposes of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

-65-

Section 7.12

Right of Court To Require Filing of Undertaking To Pay Costs.

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, 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, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 7.12 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder or group of Holders holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note on or after the due date expressed in such Note or any date fixed for redemption.

ARTICLE VIII

CONCERNING THE NOTEHOLDERS

Section 8.01 Evidence of Action of Noteholders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage or a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the Holders of such specified percentage or majority have joined therein may be evidenced by (a) any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Holders in person, by an agent or by a proxy appointed in writing, including through an electronic system for tabulating consents operated by the Depository or otherwise (such action becoming effective, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, when such instruments or evidence of electronic consents are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company), or (b) by the record of the Holders of Notes voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Holders duly called, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Holders.

Section 8.02 Proof of Execution or Holding of Notes. Proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or his, her or its agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any Person of any of the Notes shall be sufficient if made in the following manner:

(a) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument may be proved (i) by the certificate of any notary public or other officer in any jurisdiction who, by the laws thereof, has power to take acknowledgments or proof of deeds to be recorded within such jurisdiction, that the Person who signed such instrument did acknowledge before such notary public or other officer the execution thereof, or (ii) by the affidavit of a witness of such execution sworn to before any such notary or other officer. Where such execution is by a Person acting in other than his or her individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or her authority.

(b) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Register of such Notes or by a certificate of the Registrar for such Notes.

(c) The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section 8.02 as it shall deem appropriate or necessary, so long as the request is a reasonable one.

(d) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of Notes any action, the Company may, at its option, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders of Notes entitled to take such action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Any such record date shall be fixed at the Company’s discretion. If such a record date is fixed, such action may be sought or given before or after the record date, but only the Holders of Notes of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders of Notes for the purpose of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Notes have authorized or agreed or consented to such action, and for that purpose the Outstanding Notes shall be computed as of such record date.

-66-

Section 8.03 Persons Deemed Owners.

(a) The Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered in the Register as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and premium, if any, and (subject to Section 3.08) interest on, such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee, any Agent nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. All payments made to any Holder, or upon his, her or its order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon such Note.

(b) None of the Company, the Trustee or any Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of Beneficial Ownership interests in a Global Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such Beneficial Ownership interests.

Section 8.04 Effect of Consents. After an amendment, supplement, waiver or other action becomes effective as to any Notes, a consent to it by a Holder of such Notes is a continuing consent conclusive and binding upon such Holder and every subsequent Holder of the same Notes or portion thereof, and of any Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in place thereof, even if notation of the consent is not made on any such Note. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

ARTICLE IX

GUARANTEE

Section 9.01 Guarantee. Subject to the provisions of this Article IX, each Guarantor hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees (the “Note Guarantees”), as primary obligor and not merely as surety, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, to each Holder of the Notes, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other obligations and liabilities of the Company under this Indenture (including interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to the Company or any Guarantor whether or not a claim for post‑filing or post‑petition interest is allowed in such proceeding and the obligations under Section 11.01) (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations will rank equally in right of payment with other Indebtedness of such Guarantor, except to the extent such other Indebtedness is subordinate to the Guaranteed Obligations, in which case the obligations of the Guarantors under the Note Guarantees will rank senior in right of payment to such other Indebtedness.

To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in this Section 9.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by an Officer of such Guarantor.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 9.01 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Note Guarantee.

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

-67-

Each Guarantor further agrees (to the extent permitted by law) that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound under this Article IX notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

Each 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 Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations.

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

Except as set forth in Sections 9.02, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in full), 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 Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (a) the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder for the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) the failure of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy against any other Guarantor; (f) any change in the ownership of the Company; (g) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (h) 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 Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

Each Guarantor agrees that its Note Guarantee herein shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations or such Guarantor is released from its Note Guarantee in compliance with Section 9.02, Article XII or Article XIV. Each Guarantor further agrees that its Note 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, premium, if any, interest, if any, on any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee on behalf of the Holders an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations then due and owing and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) (including interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to the Company or any Guarantor whether or not a claim for post‑filing or post‑petition interest is allowed in such proceeding).

Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Note Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purposes of this Note Guarantee.

Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Collateral Agent, Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under this Section 9.01.

-68-

Section 9.02 Limitation on Liability; Termination, Release and Discharge.

(a) Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Note Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal, foreign or state law and not otherwise being void or voidable under any similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

(b) Any Note Guarantee of a Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon:

(i) a sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation, merger, amalgamation or Division) of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Guarantor to a Person other than to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary and as otherwise permitted by this Indenture;

(ii) the designation in accordance with this Indenture of the Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or the occurrence of any event after which the Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary;

(iii) the defeasance or discharge of the Notes, as provided in Article XII;

(iv) in the case of a Note Guarantee made by a Guarantor (each, an “Other Guarantee”) as a result of its guarantee of other Indebtedness of the Company or an Other Obligor pursuant to Section 6.18, such Guarantor being released from all of its obligations under the relevant Indebtedness, except a release as a result of the repayment in full of such Indebtedness (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement is still considered a release, and if any such Other Guarantee is so reinstated, such Note Guarantee shall also be reinstated).

Section 9.03 Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that any Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made on the obligations under the Note Guarantees, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the Company or any other Guarantor who has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. The provisions of this Section 9.03 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Guarantor to the Trustee and the Holders and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Trustee and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

Section 9.04 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by each Guarantor hereunder, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Trustee or any Holder against the Company or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Trustee or any Holder for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Company or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Trustee and the Holders by the Company on account of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations.

Subject to the provisions of the Collateral Documents, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may determine to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of any of the Collateral Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may determine to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral. Nothing in this Section 10.03 shall be considered to impose any such duty or obligation to act on the part of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent and neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any such impairment.

Section 10.04 Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Trustee Under the Collateral Documents. The Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed under the Collateral Documents and distribute the same to the Trustee who may make further distributions of such funds to the Holders according to the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 10.05 Purchaser Protected. In no event shall any purchaser in good faith of any property purported to be released hereunder be bound to ascertain the authority of the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to execute the release or to inquire as to the satisfaction of any conditions required by the provisions hereof for the exercise of such authority or to see to the application of any consideration given by such purchaser or other transferee; nor shall any purchaser or other transferee of any property or rights permitted by this Article X to be sold be under any obligation to ascertain or inquire into the authority of the applicable Collateral Grantor to make any such sale or other transfer.

Section 10.06 Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Trustee. In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article X upon a Collateral Grantor with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of a Collateral Grantor or of any Officer or Officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article X; and if the Trustee shall be in the possession of the Collateral under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Trustee.

Section 10.08 Collateral Agent.

(a) Each Holder by accepting a Note hereby (i) irrevocably appoints (and authorizes and directs the Trustee to appoint) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Collateral Agent to act as collateral agent for the Holders under the Collateral Documents and any other relevant documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party, (ii) irrevocably authorizes and directs the Trustee to execute the Additional Pari Passu Joinders and any intercreditor agreement or joinder to any Collateral Document in connection with Indebtedness or other obligations not prohibited by this Indenture (including Future Pari Passu Obligations) and (iii) irrevocably appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Collateral Agent and authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement. The Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 10.08. The provisions of this Section 10.08 are solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and none of the Trustee, any of the Holders nor any of the Collateral Grantors shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein other than as expressly provided in Section 12.3. Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provision of this Indenture, the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement and the Collateral Documents, and the exercise by the 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 Collateral Documents and the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement, the duties of the Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the Collateral Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the 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 Collateral Documents and the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

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

-72-

(c) None of the 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) or under or in connection with any Collateral Document or the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Trustee or any Holder for any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by a Collateral Grantor or Affiliate of any Collateral Grantor, or any Officer or Related Person thereof, contained in this Indenture, or any other Note Documents, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement, or for any failure of any Collateral Grantor or any other party to this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder or for the value or sufficiency of any Collateral. None of the 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 Collateral Documents or the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement or to inspect the properties, books, or records of any Collateral Grantor or any Collateral Grantor’s Affiliates.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, certification, telephone message, statement, or other communication, document or conversation (including those by telephone or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Company or any other Collateral Grantor), independent accountants and other experts and advisors selected by the Collateral Agent. The 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 Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes or Pari Passu Secured Parties or instructions in accordance with Additional Pari Passu Joinders, as may be applicable, as it determines and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Holders against any and all liability, loss and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement in accordance with a request, direction, instruction or consent of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes or the Pari Passu Obligations or instructions in accordance with Additional Pari Passu Joinders, as may be applicable, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders.

(e) The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless an Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee or the Company referring to this Indenture, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default” and the Trustee has provided to the Collateral Agent a copy of such notice. Subject to the provisions of the Collateral Documents and the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee in accordance with Article VII or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (subject to this Section 10.08) or the Pari Passu Obligations or instructions in accordance with Additional Pari Passu Joinders, as may be applicable.

-73-

(f) The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notice to the Trustee and the Company, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Collateral Agent. If the Collateral Agent resigns under this Indenture, the Company shall appoint a successor collateral agent. Subject to the provisions of the Collateral Documents, if no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the intended effective date of the resignation of the Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Collateral Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Trustee, subject to the consent of the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required during a continuing Event of Default), a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed and consented to by the Company pursuant to the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the notice of resignation) the 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, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Section 10.08 (and Section 11.01) shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring 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 Collateral Agent under this Indenture.

(g) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. shall initially act as Collateral Agent and shall be authorized to appoint co-Collateral Agents, agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees as necessary in its sole discretion. Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein or in the Collateral Documents or the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement, neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents or other Related Persons shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the 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. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any co-Collateral Agent, agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it hereunder.

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

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

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

-74-

(k) If a Collateral Grantor (i) incurs any obligations in respect of Second Priority Obligations at any time when no intercreditor agreement is in effect or at any time when Indebtedness constituting Second Priority Obligations is concurrently retired, and (ii) delivers to the Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate so stating and requesting the Collateral Agent to enter into an intercreditor agreement (on substantially the same terms as the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement), the Collateral Agent, subject to the provisions of the Collateral Documents, shall (and is hereby authorized and directed to) enter into such intercreditor agreement (at the sole expense and cost of the Company, including legal fees and expenses of the Collateral Agent), bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein and perform and observe its obligations thereunder.

(l) No provision of this Indenture, the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement or any Collateral Document shall require the Collateral Agent (or the Trustee) to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Holders (or the Trustee in the case of the Collateral Agent) if it shall have received indemnity satisfactory to the Collateral Agent against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Collateral Agent relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement or the Collateral Documents, in the event the 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 Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has determined that the Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances unless the Collateral Agent has received security or indemnity from the Holders in an amount and in a form all satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, protecting the Collateral Agent from all such liability. The 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 Company or the Holders to be sufficient.

(m) The Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with this Indenture, the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement and the Collateral 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, (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Company (and money held in trust by the 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.

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

(o) The Collateral Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Collateral Grantor under this Indenture, the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement and the Collateral Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to the Holders or any other Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any Note Documents or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement or any Collateral Document; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement and any Collateral 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 Notes 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 Notes Obligations.

The Collateral Agent shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this Indenture, the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement and the Collateral Documents unless expressly set forth hereunder or thereunder. The Collateral Agent and the Trustee shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from the Holders with respect to the administration of the Note Documents.

-75-

(p) The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that the Collateral Agent shall not assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, 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 First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement, the Collateral 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 First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement and the Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Collateral Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral.

(q) Upon the receipt by the Collateral Agent of a written request of the Company signed by one of its Officers (a “Collateral Document Order”), the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized and directed to execute and enter into, and shall execute and enter into, without the further consent of any Holder or the Trustee, any Collateral Document (in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent) to be executed after the Issue Date. Such Collateral Document Order shall (i) state that it is being delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to, and is a Collateral Document Order referred to in, this clause (q), and (ii) instruct the Collateral Agent to execute and enter into such Collateral Document. Any such execution of a Collateral Document shall be at the direction and expense of the Company, upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of an Officer’s Certificate and, if requested, Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of the Collateral Document have been satisfied. The Holders, by their acceptance of the Notes, hereby authorize and direct the Collateral Agent to execute such Collateral Documents.

(r) Subject to the provisions of the applicable Collateral Documents and the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement, each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement and the Collateral Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall have no discretion under this Indenture, the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement or the Collateral Documents and shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or direction without the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes or the Pari Passu Obligations, or instructions in accordance with the Additional Pari Passu Joinders, as may be applicable, or the Trustee, as applicable.

(s) The Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders distributed under the Collateral Documents or the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement and to the extent not prohibited under the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement, for turnover to the Trustee to make further distributions of such funds to itself, the Trustee and the Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.04 hereof and the other provisions of this Indenture.

-76-

(t) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or any other Note Document, in no event shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with respect to, the recording, filing, registering, perfection, protection or maintenance of the security interests or Liens intended to be created by this Indenture or the other Note Documents (including the filing or continuation of any UCC financing or continuation statements or similar documents or instruments), nor shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, and neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee makes any representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness or priority of any of the Collateral Documents or the security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby.

(u) Before the Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting in each case at the request or direction of the Collateral Grantors, it may require an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to the provisions of Section 15.01. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.

(v) Any Person into which the Collateral Agent or any successor to it as collateral agent shall be merged or converted, or any Person with which it or any successor to it shall be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Collateral Agent or any such successor to it shall be a party, or any Person to which the Collateral Agent or any successor to it shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Collateral Agent, shall be the successor Collateral Agent under this Indenture without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

ARTICLE XI

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

Section 11.01 Rights of Trustees; Compensation and Indemnity. The Trustee accepts the trusts created by this Indenture upon the terms and conditions hereof, including the following, to all of which the parties hereto and the Holders from time to time of the Notes agree:

(a) The Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for all services rendered by it hereunder (including in any agent capacity in which it acts). The compensation of the Trustee shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon its request for all out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances (including costs of collection) incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture (including the reasonably incurred expenses and disbursements of its agents, delegates, attorneys and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance caused by its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

Each of the Company and each Guarantor (each, an “Indemnifying Person”) also agree to indemnify each of the Trustee and its officers, agents, directors and employees hereunder for, and to hold them harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim, or expense (including fees and expense of counsel), including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee), arising out of or in connection with this Indenture, the Notes, the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder and the performance of its duties (including in any agent capacity in which it acts), as well as the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by any Indemnifying Person, or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, or in connection with enforcing the provisions of this Section, except to the extent such loss, liability, damage claim or expense is due to the Trustee’s own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not incur any liability if it fails to so notify and that the failure to so notify the Company shall not affect the obligations of the Company hereunder to indemnify.

-77-

As security for the performance of the obligations of each Indemnifying Person under this Section 11.01(a), the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes upon the Collateral and all other property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust by the Trustee to pay principal of and interest on any Notes. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, the obligations of each Indemnifying Person to compensate and indemnify the Trustee under this Section 11.01(a) shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, any satisfaction and discharge under Article XII, the payment of any Notes and the termination of this Indenture for any reason. In addition to and without prejudice to its other rights hereunder, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(vi) occurs, the expenses and compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws. “Trustee” for purposes of this Section 11.01(a) shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided, however, that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder.

(b) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duty hereunder either directly or by its agents, delegates or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent, delegate or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder.

(c) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and, subject to Section 11.02, the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Trustee hereunder in reliance thereon.

(d) The Trustee, subject to Section 11.02, may rely upon the certificate of the Secretary or one of the Assistant Secretaries of the Company as to the adoption of any Board Resolution or resolution of the stockholders of the Company, and any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Order.

(e) Subject to Section 11.04, the Trustee, any Agent or any agent of the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have had if it were not the Trustee or such agent.

(f) Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on or investment of any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.

(g) Any action taken by the Trustee pursuant to any provision hereof at the request or with the consent of any Person who at the time is the Holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding in respect of such Note upon all future Holders thereof or of any Note or Notes which may be issued for or in lieu thereof in whole or in part, whether or not such Note shall have noted thereon the fact that such request or consent had been made or given.

(h) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, direction, order, approval, bond, debenture, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

(i) The Trustee shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders of the Notes, pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, unless such Holders of the Notes shall have offered to the Trustee pre-funding, security and/or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by it therein or thereby.

-78-

(j) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within its discretion or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.

(k) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge or be charged with notice of any Default or Event of Default with respect to any Notes unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge by way of written notice thereof or unless the Holders of not less than 25% of the Outstanding Notes notify the Trustee thereof by a written notice to the Trustee that is received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and such notice references such Notes and this Indenture.

(l) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of Indebtedness or other paper or document; provided, however, that the Trustee, may, but shall not be required to, make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit at the expense of the Company and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Article XI, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Article XI, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Article XI.

Any Person into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such Person shall be otherwise eligible under this Article XI, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.09, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give written notice of such appointment to all Holders of Notes with respect to which such Authenticating Agent shall serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 11.09.

The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 11.09.

If Notes with respect to which such deposits are made may be subject to later redemption at the option of the Company, the applicable escrow trust agreement may, at the option of the Company, provide therefor. In the case of an optional redemption in whole or in part, such agreement shall require the Company to deposit with the Trustee on or before the date notice of redemption is given funds sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of the Notes to be redeemed together with all unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date. Upon such deposit of funds, the Trustee shall pay or deliver over to the Company as excess funds pursuant to Section 12.04 all funds or obligations then held under such agreement and allocable to the Notes to be redeemed.

Section 12.07 Application of Trust Money.

(a) Neither the Trustee nor any other paying agent shall be required to pay interest on any moneys deposited pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, except such as it shall agree with the Company in writing to pay thereon. Any moneys so deposited for the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, interest on the Notes and remaining unclaimed for two years after the date of the Maturity of the Notes or the date fixed for the redemption of all the Notes at the time Outstanding, as the case may be, shall be applied as provided in Section 6.03(e).

(b) Subject to the provisions of clause (a) above, any moneys or Government Securities which at any time shall be deposited by the Company or on its behalf with the Trustee or any other paying agent for the purpose of paying the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any of the Notes shall be and are hereby assigned, transferred and set over to the Trustee or such other paying agent in trust for the respective Holders of the Notes for the purpose for which such moneys or Government Securities shall have been deposited; provided that such moneys or Government Securities need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

(b) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 14.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be fully protected in relying upon such Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel.

Section 15.03 Notices to the Company, Trustee and Collateral Agent. Any notice or demand authorized or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, the Company or the Trustee shall be sufficiently made, given, furnished or filed for all purposes if it shall be mailed, by regular mail or overnight courier, delivered or faxed to:

(a) the Company, at Frontier Communications Corporation, 000 Xxxxxxx 0, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx 00000, Facsimile No.: (000) 000-0000, Attn: Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel, or at such other address or facsimile number as may have been furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company.

(b) the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

Any such notice, demand or other document shall be in writing. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no such notice or demand shall be effective as to the Trustee unless it is actually received by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office.

The Trustee and the Collateral Agent each agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the First Priority/Second Priority Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement sent by unsecured e-mail, pdf, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided, however, that the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have received an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing specimen signatures of such designated persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Company elects to give the Trustee or the Collateral Agent e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method), the Trustee’s or the Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty or obligation to verify or confirm that the person who sent such instructions or directions is, in fact, such person who is authorized to give instructions or directions on behalf of the Company as listed in an incumbency certificate; and neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any liabilities, losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s or the Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction.

-92-

(a) In the event of suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give notice by mail, then such notification as shall be given with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice for every purpose hereunder.

(b) Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance on such waiver. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given. In any case where notice to Holders is given by publication, any defect in any notice so published as to any particular Holder shall not affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders, and any notice that is published in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given.

The provisions of this Section 3 shall amend and override the provisions of Section 3.02(e) of the Pledge Agreement.

Section 4. Reinstatement. In the event that any of the First Lien Obligations shall be paid in full and such payment or any part thereof shall subsequently, for whatever reason (including an order or judgment for avoidance or disgorgement of a preference or fraudulent conveyance or transfer under any Bankruptcy Law), be required to be returned or repaid, the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Pledge Agreement shall be fully applicable thereto until all such First Lien Obligations shall again have been paid in full in cash.

Section 2. Actions with Respect to Pledged Collateral.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in the Security Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any Pledged Collateral, (i) only the Collateral Agent shall act or refrain from acting with respect to the Pledged Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Pledged Collateral) and then only on the instructions of the Applicable Secured Representative and (ii) no Non-Applicable Secured Representative or other Non-Controlling Secured Party shall or shall instruct or direct the Collateral Agent to, commence any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator, examiner or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its security interest in or realize upon, or take any other action available to it in respect of, any Pledged Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Pledged Collateral), whether under the Security Agreement, applicable law or otherwise or have a right to consent to any such action, it being agreed that only the Collateral Agent acting on the instructions of the Applicable Secured Representative shall be entitled to take any such actions or exercise any such remedies with respect to Pledged Collateral; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, any Secured Representative or any other Secured Party may file a claim or proof of claim or statement of interest with respect to the First Lien Obligations owed to the Secured Parties; (ii) any Secured Representative or any other Secured Party may take any action to preserve or protect the validity and enforceability of the Liens granted in favor of Secured Parties, provided that no such action is, or could reasonably be expected to be, (A) adverse to the Liens granted in favor of the Controlling Secured Parties or the rights of the Applicable Secured Representative, Collateral Agent or any other Controlling Secured Parties to exercise remedies in respect thereof or (B) otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement; and (iii) any Secured Representative or any other Secured Party may file any responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of such Secured Party, including any claims secured by the Pledged Collateral, in each case, to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the equal priority of the Liens, the Applicable Secured Representative and Collateral Agent may deal with the Pledged Collateral as if such Applicable Secured Representative and Collateral Agent had a senior Lien on such Collateral. No Non-Applicable Secured Representative or Non-Controlling Secured Party will contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the Applicable Secured Representative, Collateral Agent or Controlling Secured Party or any other exercise by the Applicable Secured Representative, Collateral Agent or Controlling Secured Party of any rights and remedies relating to the Pledged Collateral. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit the rights and priorities of any Secured Party or Collateral Agent with respect to any Collateral not constituting Pledged Collateral.

(b) If Parent or any other Pledgor shall become subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, move for approval of debtor-in-possession financing (“DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law and/or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, each Secured Party agrees that it will not oppose and will raise no objection to any such financing or to any Liens on the Pledged Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”) and/or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Pledged Collateral unless, in each case, the Applicable Secured Representative, shall then object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such Pledged Collateral for the benefit of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will subordinate its Liens with respect to such Pledged Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the Controlling Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such Pledged Collateral granted to secure the First Lien Obligations of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will confirm the priorities of its Liens with respect to such Pledged Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the Secured Parties of each Series retain the benefit of their Liens on all such Pledged Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, with the same priority vis-a-vis all the other Secured Parties (other than any Liens of the Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings, (B) the Secured Parties of each Series are granted Liens on any additional or replacement collateral pledged to any Secured Parties as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing and/or use of cash collateral, with the same priority vis-a-vis the Secured Parties as set forth in this Agreement, (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing and/or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the First Lien Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Security Agreement, and (D) if any Secured Parties are granted adequate protection with respect to First Lien Obligations subject hereto, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection are applied pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Security Agreement; provided that the Secured Parties of each Series shall have a right to object to the grant of a Lien to secure the DIP Financing over any assets subject to Liens in favor of the Secured Parties of such Series or its Collateral Agent that shall not constitute Pledged Collateral; and provided, further, that any Secured Parties receiving adequate protection shall not object to any other Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate protection granted to such Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing or use of cash collateral. The provisions of this Section 3 shall amend and override the provisions of Section 3.02(e) of the Security Agreement.

Section 4. Reinstatement. In the event that any of the First Lien Obligations shall be paid in full and such payment or any part thereof shall subsequently, for whatever reason (including an order or judgment for avoidance or disgorgement of a preference or fraudulent conveyance or transfer under any Bankruptcy Law), be required to be returned or repaid, the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Security Agreement shall be fully applicable thereto until all such First Lien Obligations shall again have been paid in full in cash.
